Bangkok Hotels

Over many years I have stayed at the Majestic Grande on Soi 2. Maybe it is a little faded but the rooms are conmfortable, it is GF, it is near Nana, Annies, many side steet bars, MPs, and a gentle walk to Soi Cwboy. Or use the Skytrain. I find spending large sums of money for a room which one only uses for half the day (and most of that time one is asleep) wastes moneyy spent on fun.

OK it may sound good to stay in a big name international hotel and if you want that try the Oriental (Not GF) or the Peninsular (way out of the way).

I am using Marriott points so my other two options are Marriott Renaissance near Chit Lom station or Bangkok Marriott near Thong Lo Station.

Anyone with any insight as to which of these two locations would be better for your basic single male traveler to operate from, would be greatly appreciated.

Both are a little bit far from Nana. Chitlom Hotel is only 1. 5 km walk to Nana but much further to Phrom Phong massage places, so depends what you like. Getting there by taxi is quite difficult due to traffic, one-way, and turn restrictions. Ask Google Maps for car directions from Renaissance to Nana Plaza and you might see what I mean. To avoid taxi problems, walk from Hotel and cross Sukhumvit road at Chitlom BTS and take taxi from there to go to Sukhumvit just after Soi 3. Taxi cannot right turn into Soi 4. Cross the road yourself is easier. Or Taxi can detoir slightly through Bamrungrad Hospital to enable entering Soi 4 from Soi 3. Here is trick route for taxi from Rennaisance to Nana Plaza. Involves a narrow alley but I have used it to get to Dynasty Grand Hotel in Soi 4.

Even though its further away from Nana, personally I would stay in Thonglor, as closer to Phrom Phong massage places. When traffic is bad, rather than taxi, can use BTS or motorcycle for very short distances. Girls maybe more happy to go to your Hotel if in Thonglor, as slightly easier to get back to the bar from there. Late at night won't be such a traffic jam, most likely.

Of course I have no clue where your Cupid Thai girls live but they will probably use BTS so either location is okay.

Of course normally I don't stay in a Marriott at all. I like Column Hotel Soi 16, Grand Mercure Soi 19, and for budget price the Mermaid Soi 29? When the other two have no specials.

Hotel in Soi 18, like Maitria hotel are also a good choice in the area. Great rooms, small hotel with rooftop swimmingpool. Quiet and very close to any action, like Soi Cowboy, Darling and Asoke.

Ohh, and I always use Agoda.com

The Conrad near Ploenchit starts around THB3000++, and the Hilton on Suk 24 at 2900++. If you need to be discreet, the Conrad is a good choice as you can walk in from the All Seasons Place mall directly to the elevators, in a rather dark lobby. The Hilton has very nice rooms with a Japanese-style bathroom (shower area is the whole glassed-in area where the tub sits), but the smaller size and lobby layout will make your activities obvious. I prefer both of their basic rooms to the JW's.

Thanks for the suggestions. I might try the Hilton when I come back. The fact that day use is authorized is appealing.
