Bangkok Hotels

[Member #4698]

The following is a list of hotels that I know personally are Guest Friendly (no added fees) for 2 or more girls at the same time. I am sure there are many more.

Admiral Premiere.
Fraser Suites Sukhumvit.
Grande Center Point T21.
Centre Point Sukhumvit 10.
Grand Mercure Asoke Residence
Intercontinental
Marriott Thonglor Exec Apartments.
Marriott Park Exec Apartments.
Radisson Suite.
Radisson Blu.
Renaisance.
Westin.

Always book for two persons.

I am thinking of staying at Loft at Sukhumvit. I could do Sheraton as well. Are these girl-friendly?

All hotels in lower and upper sukhumvit are girl friendly provided you have booked for double occupancy. Some hotels like Phachara suits allow one guest free per day. A second guest brought in on the same day will be charged. But most of the hotels don't bother even if you bring more than one girl but not together. They may charge for extra person if you bring two girls together.

The best way to confirm is to write a mail to them asking them about their guest policy.

I stayed there a couple of years ago. The rooms were a little worn out. I even had to change my room as the door lock was broken.

I saw an offer for this hotel. Deluxe room 40 mq incl. Breakfast and tax only 1. 540 b. Any advise about the hotel and the room?

[Red Kilt]

So many posts here from guys declaring that all hotels in Bangkok are girl friendly, yet we still get the regular requests questioning whether Hotel X or Hotel Y is girl friendly.

My experience says that all hotels are gf, but I don't visit Bkk that often any more.

Can any of the hard core Bangkok residents or anybody else declare the names of those hotels that are NOT girl friendly so that once and for all this question can be answered.

The room is OK, though a bit old, but size and facility wise is not bad.

Breakfast used to be much better, it is tolerable, nothing great.

Cheers.

Yes to both.

Good hotel. Stayed here twice this year. Modern with nice rooms and convenient to almost everything. There is in room massage, legit but good. Also late late night massage, just be discreet, the night porter will arrange. To my mind, much much better than sister hotel chain Raddison Blu close by, which is a higher star rating.

I've done enough looking around and could see that Airbnb may be too troublesome with all the I"house rules". Worried that I'd get a great place but reception would stop me. I'm considering "Park Plaza" on Soi 18. Seems an awesome daytime location for malls etc and close to Asoke station. Right between Nana and Cowboy. Has anybody been there? I've read it's GF as most places are around there.

Thanks for the dull axe of information 😀.

Your criticism of my navel gazing is perfectly appropriate, and I have no quarrels about it. I do doubt very much that most girls consider ID checks to be for their benefit (some might, but I doubt that's more than a handful), but that is besides the point. My problem is with the following kind of interaction that happens over and over again:

Response: You must not feel shame!
Response: You must not feel shame! Shame is a western construct designed to repress male sexuality. In Thailand people really don't view sex as a shameful act, and so no one will be judging you. Nonetheless, if you still feel conscious about walking through a crowded lobby with a scantily clad woman on your arm, then here are some hotels that might fit the bill: hotel 1, hotel 2, hotel 3.

And to be fair, this does happen sometimes. But the former kind of interaction is certainly more common, and it does not strike me as particularly helpful.

If you walk into any place, Hotel, Café, Resto, and you have a knock out lady on your arm and she is dressed to kill, short skirt, high heels etc. Your going to get looks.

This is a walk of pride not shame.

My GF is from the south and we meet in BKK for a few days and I never get strange looks. She is beautiful with long hair and a great smile. She dresses conservatively and looks more like a tourist. Where ever we go we get smiles and treated with respect. She is with the Ministry of Education and emits self confidence.

Agree with Kumba, The walk of pride not shame.

Fair enough Wolvenvacht, I think this is valid. But we can't expect people to change their attitudes overnight.

I'm in no hurry. It is up to the reader to do what he wants with this advice.

And so my point is that it would be better if in addition to providing your advice to "liberate their minds", an explanation of this is provided, as well as the information that was actually requested.

As I don't experience a walk of shame, I cannot give directly relevant info, so I give "second best" advice.

[Kumbu]

I don't think people are being judged or ridiculed about the walk of shame; it is just that sometimes a blunt snap out of it is in order. If you are on business and have colleagues staying at the same hotel ok I can see it. Just slip out to an oily, or take the lady to a short time hotel.

As for security: think past your own navel for a moment. Security also works in her favor. The lady might be in good hands with you (which she might not know in advance) but she might have had a bad experience in the past with a psycho customer. Denying her that option is IMO kind of selfish. Just because you have never had a problem does not mean she has never had a problem. And exactly how does it make her more comfortable and the experience more meaningful?

Consider this information; bluntly provided.

Original Poster: Can someone recommend a hotel with minimal or no walk of shame?

Response: You must not feel shame!

That's exactly what we are trying to do. By exposing how this "walk of shame" is all in their heads only, we liberate their minds and improve their experience.

Isn't that what Buddhism is all about? Increase the level of happiness overall and teach people that nothing is absolute or constant and thus not a rat's ass worth to get upset about?

To me, the only walk of shame per se is if you are silly enough to bring a girl back to a hotel that your colleagues are also staying. Maybe it's not silly but stupid.

Most (big) business hotels take care never to put people who check in at the same time in rooms close to each other. Usually you are even on different floors. Chances your colleagues catch you in the act of bringing in your lovely, are very low.

I've been spending my vacations the last 6 years always in South East Asia. Do you really think my colleagues assume I go there only to admire the temple architecture?

Only time I have gotten caught is when I was staying at the Remington in Manila as I had an early flight the following day and a friend of mine saw my date with me at the casino. Oh well, can't avoid everything.

People don't care, but if you're 70 with a 20 year old, might look odd.

I'm sure I am not earning any friends by saying this, but I feel ISG should be less about judging and more about providing information.
