You are not afraid of people will think? LOL
I thought LL was in your budget.
Perhaps you are asking on behalf of some friend?

Thanks Tansak. Appreciate the info.

ML
Well, sometimes I am looking for a change. Nothing to do with budget. Well, on the other hand, the extra dough is good for an extra session.

Also, it is quite useful to have some database of info, in case a friend asks.

LL is quite excellent and have nothing but praise for it. But it has its pluses and minuses like any place.

And yes, I do not give a shit what people think, unless they are paying for my hotel.

Suk 11, Anybody know exactly where this is, or stayed there? Just curious.

Description
Comprised of a rambling collection of wooden and concrete buildings hidden down a Sukhumvit Soi 11 subsoi, Suk 11 is one of Bangkok's top backpacker guesthouses. Friendly English-speaking staff and comfortable, reasonably quiet rooms make this an ideal spot to relax in one of Bangkok's most vibrant areas. The rooms are clean, though basic and all rooms include breakfast. The common area and open-air cafe on the sub-soi are ideal for mingling with other guests. Reservations are usually required -- particularly in high season. Recommended.

From an article in CNN.com

"......In Bangkok's prime residential area of Sukhumvit Road, one budget option is Suk 11, a quirky guesthouse legendary among backpackers, where the halls have been remade with creaking wooden planks and hanging lanterns to look like old Bangkok alleyways. A bed in a clean, air-conditioned dorm room starts at 250 baht (US$7.50)........."

Anybody know exactly where this is, or stayed there? Just curious.

Hyatt's in Thailand have been 100% GF for me and I stay in the club room's. Not just Erawan location but Hua Hin and such is GF.

Also... a friend of mine stays at Westin once a month and he always is shagging every night so he is Ok there too.

Thanks - if Sheraton in front, I read somewhere that Spasso in Sheraton, maybe it not so bad so I can go to Spasso and bring a girl back to the Westin. My friend insist on Westin becos his comany use the place, if i am not able to bring a girl the first night i move to sheraton

There is also another Holiday Inn on Ploenchit Road at the Chit Lom BTS station. It is right across the street from the Grand Hyatt and next to Gaysorn Shopping Center. It is a bit removed from the action but a two stop ride down to Nana and other things.

I've stayed here. Nice place - 2 skytrain stops to Nana, or the Chitlom Branch of Akane is just around the corner. I spent a few visits there and was very satisfied.

Can anyone let me know if this hotel is girl friendly. I am actually debating to either go here or the Grand Hyatt. I typically stay at Grand President but the guys i am going with insist on statying at either of the 2 mentioned. I ned to make some serious plans if I will not be able to have a girl for either ST or preferably LT.

Thanks

Westin I think is not all 100pc gf. Never stayed there but sheraton is gf, stayed many times.

FWIW... Westin was 100% GF for me.

Gday bros!

Any opinions regarding Bally’S Studio Suites.

10 Silom Road Soi 2?

I'm assuming you picked it, because you frequent Patpong. They have another location backend of Sukhumvit Soi 20.

....
*Does this Joiner fee apply even if i book the room for double (2 adults) occupancy?

-Dear Sir,
Pleased be inform that we will not charge extra if you booked for 2 adults.
Regards
Vilad.

So there you go they said no joiner fee if booked for 2 adults...

Thanks so much for clearing this up in great detail.
I hate the wishy washy terminology of "girl friendly".

I ALWAYS book a Double for two regardless of my intentions. So i would have little or no trouble at Tai Pan it seems. However I would probably prefer Livingstone's Lodge because its only 5 mins to Soi Cowboy by taxi through the back Sois. Its even walkable distance in good weather (almost 1 km) and I need the exercise.

The confusion over "guest friendliness" is partly a matter of semantics and partly due to uneven enforcement of hotel policies Unless you know the girl very well and trust her to a high degree, it's a bad idea to register her.

Very informative and well done. I personally prefer it when a hotel asks the girl to leave her ID at the front desk. In other countries, some hotels even call up if she spot her leaving your room. That's 'service'....IMHO
