i spent a couple of nights at the imperial queens 2 years ago. i brought a girl back with me, but she was not dressed like your typical BG. Nonetheless, i still had to sneak her in. Maybe things have changed now. Would not consider this place as girl friendly.
very nice hotel though.

Chris H,

I have just spent 6 nights at the Majestic Suites, so close to Nana Plaza that you can see the bars if you get a rear facing room. I went for a superior room at 1500 baht, nice sized bed, TV with CNN chanel, mini-bar at reasonable prices. Handy when getting a cab back because you just ask for Nana Plaza which every cab driver knows. They have a web site at www.majesticsuites.com.

There is no charge for taking back a guest although they may ask for ID. Soi cowboy is a 50 baht cab ride away or a 20 minute slow walk.

Sainter, you might try looking at one of the two bedroom that Bright City has. I think there are a lot of options in the Sukhumvit area. (Serviced apartments, etc).

Chris - you might try Royal Asia Lodge (they have a website) - pretty much right in the middle. They check girlz ids for you (safer, but not a problem - discrete) last year was about 900B

only issue with Royal is that they are some 500m down Soi 8 - but they have a tuk-tuk that runs up/down 8

quiet, comfortable, reasonably close to the action

Hey everyone,

I am new to the site and I am looking for a lot of info for my trip to BKK in early March. Most important is that I am looking for a hotel to stay at that is close to Nana or Soi cowboy, that allows joiners for no extra charge or a small charge. I hope someone can help me out by PMing me or just posting something on the site for all newcomers to BKK. thanks in advance for the info. I will be asking for more info in the correct subject category.

I'm off to Thailand for around 10 nights towards end of Feb. Going to do a little tour & sample as many of the delights of a few ports as I can. BKK 2 nights, Pattaya 2 nights, fly to Ko Somui 2 nights, boat & bus to Phuket 2 nights, then train up to BKK for another 2 nights.

I'm probably more likely to get out during the day for a little action, try my luck with a few shop assisstants, check out the odd barbers shop or cafe instead of doing the Go Go's. Having said that there will be a couple of nights out!

I going to stay in Dynasty in BKK & Pattaya, seems like the best all round option.

All information on places to stay in Ko Somui & Phuket with similar all round features will be greatly appreciated.

If you can make better use of the time let me know! If you want to meet up or join the trip even better!

Thanks

GT, we were actually importing back to Australia. The customs duty there is 5% plus we have to pay 10% goods and services tax. It is very worthwhile to import, considering the profit margins are quite high.

Sainter,
The import tax on such items (silk) going back to the USA, kills any ideas you might have for going into the silk imprt biz. Unless of course, you plan on smugglin it in?

[Sainter]

JC,

The reason I was contemplating getting an apartment for the month was because my friend who is coming with me, is looking at importing goods(silk products) from LOS. It's more pratical if we had a larger area to store the goods rather than having our hotel rooms all clogged up. Also, if the rate of a quality apartment is 15000 baht a month or less, it's still heaps cheaper for us than getting two hotel rooms for a month. We could even leave the goods in the aprtment while we ventured off to Pattaya for a few days. Come to think of it, 30000 baht a month would still be reasonable for us. Any other recommendations on aprtments?

I don't know for a fact, but suspect the service at the Amari would be in the hotel or in your room massage service that could lead to full service. I would advise you to take a 20 minute cab ride to the Emerald Hotel and check out the neighborhood soapy massage parlors, or take a 35 minute cab ride to Asoke Station on the BTS and then ride to Nana Station. From there you can partake in that neighborhood's offerings. You have plenty of options not too far away if you have any extra time. Check previous posts or Bangkok Tonight for further details and maps. Happy hunting.

Baddas,

You have to make the time. Life is short, enjoy every second of it.

[Bizzie]

JC,
You are about the difference in price, but Who´s got time to go there for a month..
You lucky bastards

Jamito,

Thanks for your report. I stayed many times in Grand President Jade Suites and I always paid 34000 a month, but Mrs Kahn has been changed, and the new person giving the same price for an Executive Stodio that is much smaller. The corner Jade Studios are not good only the center ones are nice. I hope I could get the same room that I styed the last time I have to call from America to talk to them.

Have fun
