Bangkok Hotels

[Horntoad]

Hi Guys,

I'm travelling to BKK for the first time in September and need your advice on where to stay (never been to thailand before)

I need a balance of seeing BKK as a tourist and experiencing BKK as an ISG member .

Ive spent the last couple of days reading reports and reviews of hotels and I would like to see what you recomend between:

Citichic
Adelphi
S15
Livingstones.

My first thought was LL, but the rooms seem quite basic and I can not tell how far or near it is from the rest of the city , shops markets and action .

I then saw good and bad reviews on the other 3 and that is why after all the reading im not sure if they ended up as positive , negative or neutral (sorry)

I've seen the agoda maps, but although I can where hotels are in relation to eachother, im not sure about everything else.

I'm guessing that most hotels are close to eachother and that must be the centre.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would recommend S15 because it is right in between Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy for mongering. Also it is very close to both the skytrain and subway for your tourism experiences. It will run you around $100 and rooms are decent. The other two hotels are a little more out of the way but still manageable. I personally like the convenience of being close to everything

I know that Giotto has his own forum, but this thread is about hotels in Bangkok, and as such, this traveller feels that Livingstones more than deserves a mention here in the Bangkok hotel thread.

As a new guest of Livingstones, albeit having visited a couple of times before making my first booking, i have to be honest and say that there are in reality few better places to stay in Bangkok where value for money is one of the main criteria.

Is it the cheapest in town, then the answer is no, although it is not that expensive, but the atmosphere and convivial hospitality as well as pleasant but personal surroundings is a welcome retreat after a hard days work.

Staying at LL means that if required there is no need to wander out of the hotel for anything, the food is good, and a very pleasant evening can be had in the Sports Lounge even without the pressure or need to remove one of the excellent choice of ladies to make the night pass by in even better style.

Giotto and his good lady as well as Guido provide some of the best personal service and attention that this traveller of many a year has experienced anywhere in the world. Whilst personality and ability to get on has something to do with this, they exude an attitude that is in all reality hard to find anywhere else.

The choice and breadth of food available would shame a good number of the more well known hotels around the world, with all of them being done to a high standard, having Guido as a qualified chef to help oversee does have it benefits.

The girls in the Sports Lounge can i expect be more than a handful to look after, but that also adds to the fun of staying here. There has also been a recent influx of new girls coming to work in the Sports Lounge which has added an element of not only youthfulness but also laughter, frivolity and good times when visiting the Sports Lounge.

This is one visitor that will be returning to Bangkok and to Livingstone's for several visits due to current work requirements, and will be taking further visits to one of the new ladies recently joining the Sports Lounge.

I can heartily recommend this establishment to any visitor to Bangkok. It is conveniently located for most things, at worst being a short taxi ride away, whilst also having a certain element of quietness if required.

Beautifully written.

Your Hotel is right next to "Annies" and the Map shows lots of other things nearby.

All comments appreciated, but this is the "Bangkok Hotels" thread. I think we should move all the further discussion of the issues to the related threads of Giotto's Forum.

After much reading from this forum, I finally decided to book "Majestic Grande Hotel" for my friend's "end of bachelorhood" party in Bangkok as this hotel seems to be girl-friendly and located close to the actions.

To make the trip more complete, could fellow brothers in this forum recommend me some soapies, oil massage, and "go-go" bars nearby the said hotel. ...

PS: The number of hits on our website have doubled within the last 3 days. Thanks, man, good job!

On a serious note, the website is loading quite quickly by Thai website standards now, compared to before. But the photos are still painfully slow to load. Have you considered hosting the site abroad? Those pages would load in two or three seconds on broadband from a European/North American server.

[Giotto]

No thanks. Buddy lists are a little bit too gay for me (and I wouldn't trust you to keep me on it, anyway ). Btw, how are the "stallions" at the Lodge doing? Do you share a room with them, as well?
...

Yawn...

Just back from 6 days in a village somewhere between Turkey and Iran with Wildcat and Wildkitten visiting family, and the only internet access was hours drive away, so I had to live a real life for a while. Good to be back and catching up on my ISG reading.

I have a trip coming up soon to Australia, and I was determined to have Singapore LAYovers because of the great times I had there with Indian and Sri Lankan girls recently, but what the heck, Terry reminded me of the good times at Livingstones Lodge, so I think it's time I made some trouble there again.

Without trying to be at all controversial ....

LL can be a great place to meet up with other ISGers, if they are your type.
I'm not sure which Hotels are best to avoid ISGers, but I have been trying a few when with GF. Recent ones I have preferred are Grand President, and S15.

Many others are too close to mongering areas, Internet too expensive, or inconveniently located. Sometimes I want to be relatively safe from bumping into the wrong BG at the wrong time.

Bangkok is too small. Could easily bump into the wrong person at MBK or Panthip Plaza.

Thats why I really feel safer mongering at Soapies and Oilies and if they are in another district like Ratchada or Rama 9 even safer.

children, all of you, go to bed with no milk and cookies

Mr. VP:

I go off to play 9 holes (golf that is ) and return this morning to find not only did Mr. G fail to take care of the Mrs. but gets spanked by you for being a bad boy .... my my my, this new TT has done a great job of taking over for the old TT!

I haven't seen a recent report on that hotel, so I will take the risk to repeat some previous comments as it might be useful for newbies. I will highlight features in all objectivity.

Definitive Pluses:

1) You can bring as many guests as you wish (threesomes are encouraged, as long as you are not screaming too hard), and entrance is very discreet.

2) Internet is free and well functioning, including next to the pool.

3) You can sit next to the pool, in the shadow, there are power plugs to connect your PC.

4) Pool is warmed up by the sun - unlike the pools of high rise buildings which are always in the shadow and therefore too cold to have a pleasant swim, floating on a buyo and sipping your beer. Also no children are splashing around.

5) There is a good in-house stable with quality girls. Management will not push for you to use it.

6) Mister Giotto is there to recommend you a few good alternative mongering places.

7) Rooms with double jacuzzi - not many hotels feature that.

8) Very high quality beds.

9) Very helpful and friendly staff, perfect cleaning of mess left in room (but I still politely remove the used condoms from the floor and hide the vibrating toys out of direct sight for not shocking the maids).

10) Restaurant serving quality food in a romantic setting around the pool, where you can sit and smoke a good cigar.

11) It is small, so if you forget something in your room you don't have to spend 5 minutes walking and waiting for a lift.

12) Breakfast is included and served until the afternoon around the pool. It is simple (no big buffet), but decent scrambled eggs.

Now - some factors to take into consideration to put Livingstones on the hard competitive map of restaurants and hotels in Bangkok.

9) Not too cheap. I personally find the value for money very good, but it is not suitable for all budgets.

10) Swimming pool is lacking beach chairs with plush towels for sun tanning.

11) Rooms furniture is a bit spartan, and no much closet space.

12) No remote control for airco.

13) It is not the hipping, flashy design, be the lobby, room furniture, glassware, seats... it has a bit of rusticity, but is all good to me.

Hoping this helps - I personally spend 300 nights per year in hotels, and I still come back to this one for some good reasons.

Cheers - SWS

SexWithSmile,

You report was hidden below a stack of useless posts...

One note reg. issue no. 12) No remotes for A/C

The 18 rooms in the main building have remotes for A/C. When we built the rooms in the new building we remembered that many remotes had already disappeared (only God know who need those remotes), and instead of remotes we fixed temperature controls at the wall.

If you urgently need a remote for the A/C - no problem, just move to a room in the main building ...
