Bangkok Hotels

[Bigstud]

does anybody have any intelligence (positive or negative) regarding legacy suites?

there doesn't appear to be any mention of it in this thread for a long time. does anyone know if it's girl friendly?

i have read that you should get a room in the 'new' part of the hotel. i know the location is not ideal but i can probably live with that. the other thing i read is that the internet might not be all that fast, is that true?

secondly i just thought i would mention that last time i was in bangkok i stayed at fraser place in soi 11 and it was absolutely fine, but can be quite noisy (even on the high floors) if that bothers you.

ok, here's some recent intel: i stayed in the new tower last month. very nice room, comfy bed, and yes, girl friendly. the reception called the room when my girl arrived, and i asked them to send her up. very good japanese restaurant in the old tower side. i quite like the location on soi 29: quiet and walking distance to bts, mrt, emporium, vila market, asoke, etc. the girl i barfined from soi cowboy didn't mind the walk to legacy; she had already changed from her heels to sandals! soi 31 is also a great street in terms of fine restaurants such as isao. free internet was so-so, not good enough for skype, but i think you can upgrade the speed for a fee. enjoy!

On my next trip I might try the Westin Grande Sukhumvit. Has anyone stayed there? Is it guest friendly?

Thanks!

The Westin Grande is a good choice regarding location for SC and NEP nights out. Absolutely GF and no I'd check for girls accompanying you. One of my favourite hotels on Sukhumvit.

I stayed there many times. IT's gf and even 2 girls are no problme at all.

Anyway I'd stay at Sofitel Sukhumvit over Westin any day.

Will be in BKK in October. Have stayed before at Grand Millennium, Grande Centre Point (T21 and Ratchadamri) , Four Seasons, Landmark and Lebua. Since I'm a Soi Cowboy man the Grand Millenium has always been a favorite of mine and I only had fantastic fucks in their beds.

But now I want to try something new, have Sofitel Sukhumvit, JW Marriott, Renaissance, Plaza Athenee (all possible with Club Room) and probably St. Regis in mind. Or shall I pay the "few dollars more" and go for the Peninsula? What do you guys think? Feel free to mention another hotel if it was outstanding.

I'm aware of the different locations (from that point of view Sofitel and Marriott seem to be the best options) but think I can handle this. What I'm really looking for is a great king size bed, some fantastic breakfast buffet and some nice Asian twist in the interior design.

Thanks!

My favourite for Cowboy is the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit. They don't have a club lounge but if you are Diamond or book an upgrade room you can drink free for two hours in the jazz bar, night club or pool bar. The girls in the Jazz Bar are great and you meet interesting people sat at the bar. It is currently under renovation however so is a bit short on rooms.

I stayed in the Conrad many times, but it isn't really convenient for Cowboy. It does have a great club lounge though.

I don't like the Plaza Athenee, but I don't know why. Possibly because they asked for my tilacs ID one night, although only one night (the Sheraton or Conrad never have). It is a nice hotel, but just not for me.

The Sofitel is brand new. I just don't like Accor hotels as a couple of times they haven't honoured a room reservation that was gauranteed due to over booking (not in the best places to find another room either).

The Peninsula is miles away.

JW Marriott is liked by Americans, but it is more the 5* take hotel for Nana.

I can vouch for Jasmine Suites. Loved the one bedroom suite and the girls loved the bathroom with full surround windows.

Good point. One major defect at Admiral Premier is the bathrooms are pokey small type, and do not have shower separate to the bath except if take the bigger Admiral Suite. This means water sprays onto ledge on top of bath and flows out to bathroom floor causing floods in some bathrooms. I am careful with bathmat placement to avoid the girls causing it to be flooded.

Its amazing that AP rooms can be quite large with kitchenette and lounge in some rooms, and yet bathrooms are so small except for Admiral Suite level. Design priorities were slightly off. Still, very few Hotels have no weaknesses at all. Does the perfect hotel at a good price really exist at all?

A really good bathroom can be important to many punters. Millenium Grand has great bathrooms. Dynasty Grande had magnificent bathrooms to compensate their crappy daytime restaurant food. That wasn't a big problem. I just learned to eat lunch elsewhere.

The taxi ride to your Hotel late evening is not a problem as its very direct and no more than 5 minutes. However the real problem is the return.

Thanks for the explanation. My client booked me there. It was a nice, convenient hotel for the business I was doing but I definitely wouldn't stay there if I was primarily mongering. Guess it would be okay if I was only visiting MPs and seeing escorts or MP girls on outcall.

Last December I stayed at the Hotel Muse on Langsuan, a 5-star boutique hotel that is cheaper than Siam Kempinski; but I wouldn't put it in the same class. I liked the Muse; it was 10 minutes on foot to Chit Lom BTS, but a taxi ride back after BTS closed. Some girls complained about the long taxi ride to my hotel. Needless to say I told them to get lost. I thought it was a pretty good indication of a pretty bad attitude.

The taxi ride to your Hotel late evening is not a problem as its very direct and no more than 5 minutes. However the real problem is the return. Ploenchit road (Suk extension) is largely suited to one way traffic in this area. So a return from Muse to Nana Plaza, for the girl, is not easy and a very round about route is needed. Motorcycle (if available) may be able to find a short cut. Even quite late, could take 20 mins to get back (maybe even more). Taxi will want to go up to Petchburi road, and even getting to there is tricky probably needing to get to Witthayu Road, and come back on Soi 3. Another way is via Rama IV, but even longer distance.

Anyway you try getting to Nana Plaza by taxi and see how you go.

Obviously Rainbow 4 girls looking to multiple quick turn over short times are wanting to use the short time Hotels very close by for minimum time wastage, or other very close Hotels.

In the end, for mongering, Hotels in the Sukhumvit road area are more convenient really. I like to be close BTS/MRT intersection for convenience to take MRT up to Ratchada Soapies too. Cowboy girls really like the Admiral Premier due to proximity. Plenty of other close choices too.

So if staying in Langsuan, consider taking ST high turnover type of girl to a nearby ST Hotel, or agree to pay her a bonus for the inconvenience of the return, or as you say, just forget her is best policy of all, as who wants a quickie with high turnover girl?

But this time I only used nightclubs not so far from Kempinski (Mixx Club / Intercontinental Hotel and Spasso / Grand Hyatt Erewan Hotel).

Right, there are good more upscale mongering destinations close at hand.

I think the proximity to Siam Paragon and Siam Square is attractive. BTS is also relatively nearby so it's easy to get to the mongering destinations, but wasn't it a hassle getting back by taxi?

Hehe by foot I can understand some girls don't want to walk long distances in high stillettos but if they complain about a long taxiride that is for sure a sign I guess you interperated correctly. Then I would believe the complaining will continue so they better be left alone. Taxiwice I did not experience any hazzle getting to and from Kempinski except from the usual terrible traffic during early nighttime. But this time I only used nightclubs not so far from Kempinski (Mixx Club / Intercontinental Hotel and Spasso / Grand Hyatt Erewan Hotel). By not so far I mean for me it is not even an option to walk in the heat atleast not hitting a nightclub as I want to stay fresh without sweat but for others maby they would even consider it to be walking distance. Infact from Mixx Club one taxi driver thought it was maby to short a distance to drive so I had to bribe him with a couple of hundred BHTs - but I dont consider that any hazzle, hehe..

I will use this hotel more in the future. One disadvantage staying in high end places is to get a girl on a LT program to actually leave voluntarily. If they have the chance they will easily turn a LT into a very long LT, hehe.

Now thats what I'm talking about! Throw in a well stocked bar, good music piped into the suites central speakers from your laptop and some good weed and you have some very interesting and often satisfying long times.

I did stay in the hotel section Garden wing with pool view. My friend stayed in the residence section as his airline have some apartments there (long term contract).

siam kempinski is an excellent hotel chain if you're looking for a large, five star hotel. i've thought about staying there, but haven't yet. did you stay in the hotel or residence section? i'm under the impression there is a considerable difference in the prices.

i did stay in the hotelsections garden wing with pool view. my friend stayed in the residence section as his airline have some apartments there (long term contract). my friend got me a considirable discount on the duplexsuite through his company. i paid approx 17k incl tax but my friend had no idea how much his company pays for his apartment. the residence apartments works pretty much like a serviced apartment. apartments in the residence section are spacious, modern, well furnished and very high tech entertainment system and i believe high speed fiber internetconnection. since i don't have an idea i would guess you can individual negotiate a rate for stay in residence section based on the length of your rental. it never hurts to call and check as i would highly recomend it. i will use this hotel more in the future and alternate between this one and aloft in soi 11 (i am a bit tired of grand president) , novotel airport hotel, lebua, centre point terminal 21 hotel. one disadvantage staying in high end places is to get a girl on a lt program to actualy voulentarely leave. if they have the chance they will easily turn a lt into a very long lt, hehe.
