In that case, we will have to consider alternative. Is Tai-Pan Hotel a suitable hotel? Is is located near to the Asoke and Nana areas? Good soapie places nearby is a must.
Pricing is not a big issue as the guy who is about to "end his bachelorhood" days has given us the no-hold limit. We want to celebrate for him and may want to let him "go for it" until his legs shake (threesome, foursome,...who knows).
Hope for some advice.
Cheers

Zenith and Ambassador is right in the middle of the action close to Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy. Unfortunately for you, both of these hotels are not GF friendly and have joiner fees. How much are you looking to spend? The higher end hotels are Westin, Sheraton Grande, Majestic Grande and maybe Dream which are all over one hundred dollars. Tulips is easy to get to as it is right next to the Thonglor BTS station.
If you are looking for GF friendly hotels which are in the price range of your two aforementioned hotels, then there is Majestic Suites, Dynasty, Nana Hotel, Grand President to name a few. Just read the hotel thread and there are some great recomenndations from the guys.

Posts: 554Advice needed....
To all brother, I was asked by my good friend to organize a get away to Bangkok for a few friends to celebrate the "end of his bachelorhood".
I have narrowed down the hotels to Ambassador & Zenith. Could someone familiar with Bangkok and its great nightlife advice me on which hotel is closer to the bars and the great massage places like Tulip, etc. Alternatively, if these 2 hotels are far from the happening place, could you be so kind as to recommend some other hotels closer to the actions.
There will be 5 of us going and we planned to spend 4D/3N in Bangkok partying and getting laid. We planned to go in mid-October 2008.
Hope some brothers will be kind enough to response.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Because of this I have for my recent and next trips changed to www.directrooms.com which I think have one of the cheapest rates. Very good service as well.

Asiarooms.com are normally OK, though I prefer Agoda.com for hotel reservations. I this case, at $85, you were grossly overcharged.
Look at www.majesticsuites.com/budget_hotel_bangkok.html . They quote between 1350 THB for 'Single Studio' and 2050 THB for 'Double Deluxe'.
Using www.oanda.com/convert/classic and adding the 2% CC foreign currency surcharge even the most expensive room should be under $63.
I am pretty sure, that the $12/day would have covered the broadband internet fee.
From a different POV: on a 5 days stay, you could have had a session at Nataree or Tulip for free!

Rooms suits me fine , however .. no free internet ! That's the only lousy point. Paid USD 85 through asiarooms.com, which I am very please. Location closed to Nana action places and Annie's MAssage is just right opposite the hotel.

Single rooms are quite small and have a Queen size 5ft bed, whereas Double rooms are larger and have a 6 Ft King Size bed.
You do get only 1 breakfast coupon though. Also they have free wifi starting 1 November, a welcomed addition.

Posts: 68Majestic Suites?
I'm going to BKK first time November. Looks like Majestic Suites is less expensive than many, and clean. If you get a single, do you usually need to pay joiner fee? They emailed me and said with Double, no joiner fee, but haven't heard from them (yet) on the single joiner fee issue. Do most of the GF hotels in this area have joiner's fees? Thanks for your help--I'm an ignorant noobie.

Posts: 1600CitiChic is around a 400m walk to Sukhumvit or to the Biergarten. And the swimming pool is very small. Other than that, the place is great. If you're familiar with the location of the President Solitaire, it's right next door. The LeFenix is only about 100m closer to those strategic places, and I believe it is inferior to CitiChic, and certainly not as friendly.
Now that the Dynasty Grande has come down off of their jacked up 2800 baht rate from last year, I think it's a better choice than CitiChic, due to location and a better swimming pool. But they are both among the better choices, in the group of full service hotels that are a cut above the Majestic Suites/Dynasty Inn/Nana Hotel class of place.

Posts: 23BKK Value Hotels
The Malaysia Hotel off Rama 1V , was OK but forget it now so try the REX Hotel on Sukhumvit Road near Soi 34 and the Skytrain. Anything around Nana has gone up in price and down in value.
