Bangkok Hotels

[Globoid]

Bangkok Grand Mercure Asoke residence is a nice place to stay. About 400 meters from Terminal 21 so close to BTS and MRT. Big rooms with separate living room and bedroom. Nice balcony and swimming pool / sauna on top of the roof with nice views of the area.

Hotel in Soi 18, like Maitria hotel are also a good choice in the area. Great rooms, small hotel with rooftop swimmingpool. Quiet and very close to any action, like Soi Cowboy, Darling and Asoke.

Ohh, and I always use Agoda.com

The Hilton website is the only one of the major chains which allows online bookings for day use (9 am-6 pm) - no need to come up with a convoluted scenario over the phone.

The rates are rather high (less than half the flexible rate), and are 'semi-flex', bookings can be canceled up to the day before the stay.

The Conrad near Ploenchit starts around THB3000++, and the Hilton on Suk 24 at 2900++. If you need to be discreet, the Conrad is a good choice as you can walk in from the All Seasons Place mall directly to the elevators, in a rather dark lobby. The Hilton has very nice rooms with a Japanese-style bathroom (shower area is the whole glassed-in area where the tub sits), but the smaller size and lobby layout will make your activities obvious. I prefer both of their basic rooms to the JW's.

Thanks for the suggestions. I might try the Hilton when I come back. The fact that day use is authorized is appealing.

I am coming to Bangkok for the first time for a 3 days stay. Friends kindly suggest some good hotels with all the services available. Want to get relaxed and explore beauty of Thailand. Please help.

I don't know why they can't just help you. You said the Magic word. Please!

Go to agoda.com. Search Bangkok hotels. Be sure to check all services in the search.

When you are so lazy with specifying what you are looking for more precisely, it doesn't motivate people to put in the effort to answer.

All your posts (with perhaps one exception) are asking, begging or requesting for information. Suppose we'd all do that? There are hundreds of posts discussing hotels in this forum. Please read them and then after having stayed at your hotel, post a report here so we all know whether it was good or not.

You might be forgiven for saying that you have read this thread at length, had identified one, two, three hotels or more hotels that you liked the sound of and then asked for specific advice on one of them. That is the way to approach members. Next you will be asking which of nnie's girls to choose, or which bar to go to.

FYI I am a great fan of the Majestic Grande on Soi 2. It is GF; it is open to negotiation on room rates and it is well run.

Have you even begun to read this forum? You might try that before asking such an obvious question. Then you might get a more cooperative response.

I am going to start exploring the escort world. What I have in mind is 2 hours from 10 am to 12 noon on a weekday.

Is there any hotel that would do that? Preferably a nice one near Nana or Ploenchit.

The ideal would be something like the JW Marriott on Sukhumvit Soi 2, but I don't know if 5-star hotels like this force you to book a room for the full 24 hours.

Because I live in BKK full-time and I do not want to lose face in front of my building staff by bringing in this kind of girls. In the words of Stickman:

The real problem with taking a Thai hooker back to your condo is the staff in the building. From the security guard to reception to the maids, everyone will soon be aware of your misadventures. One person sees and soon everyone knows. The average Thai has a mouth like a radio station. In their eyes you have taken a low-class hooker back to the place you live, something no Thai man would do, something they can't reconcile.

It's not that you'll be labelled as someone who uses hookers. Not crime in the eyes of the average Thais. It's that you'll be labelled as someone who lacks discretion and who doesn't value face or reputation. Which the average Thai would find unfathomable!

Of course you cannot monger where you live. I never take hookers home in Thailand. Going to a Thai girls apartment is pretty weird too. You will get seen. Most places have guards watching what is going on. The walk of pride is best confined to Hotels.

I doubt JW Marriott is going to offer a half day. I would suggest take a full day at a reasonable priced Hotel. There is little reason to get a 5 star Hotel to use for 2 hours, however you can come close significantly cheaper than Marriott I am sure. You could get a very good 4 star Hotel for under 3000 Baht.

The JW Marriott might offer day rooms no harm in emailing them and asking. Just tell them you have a long layover between flights. The tariff will likely be half the nightly rate though so you are looking in the 3,000 be range.

Thank you for suggesting the "long layover between flights" storyline.

I thought I would pretend to arrange a discreet business meeting to head-hunt top talent from a competing firm. But in hindsight that might have been too convoluted.

[Eric Swiss]

JW Marriott is certainly not a hotel that gives out rooms for short time. You will be required to book at least for a day's stay. Wonder why you don't want to avail the services of an escort in the hotel where you stay.

I agree with others. It makes no sense to ask an escort to come to a low class flop house (ST Hotel). I use ST Hotels regularly for bargirls near to the bar, but not for very special occasions / girls. I had a favourite girl lived just south of Silom and wanted to see her for a couple of hours on multiple mornings, as though she was a private escort semi-gik sort of thing (I paid her sort of so much per visit untimed). So I booked a medium class Hotel, not too expensive, for multiple days, even though I wasn't sleeping there at night. Location chosen also so that no one who knows her would be likely to see us.

Alternative is to go and actually stay in a Hotel for several days, pretending to have gone elsewhere if need be. That is my usual approach. Mermaid Hotel, as example, is new modern classy, but not that expensive. Does not have to be in JW Marriott class.

Maybe there are some reasonable class ST Hotels around. The Strand in Silom is just passable (for ST only), with no windows and very noisy at night. ST rooms in Nana Plaza are absolute shit. I use instead a small Hotel in a nearby small Soi, forget the actual name. Rooms are tiny small but better quality than Nana Plaza. ST rooms near Soi Cowboy are a standard just a bit too low for an Escort in my opinion.

Escorts are typically doing Outcall to your home Apartment or Hotel. Not meet somewhere, and then go to ST Hotel.

One day saw an absolute stunner dressed very sexy on the street (maybe came off BTS). Wanted to see where she worked. Walked straight into the Westin Hotel. Probably was an escort booking.

I can understand not wanting to take a higher end escort to a short stay hotel. You might even have a hard time getting her to agree to meeting you at one as she might believe you lack funds.

In your target area try looking at the Aspen Suites on Suk soi 2 or the Majestic Suites on Suk between soi 4 and soi 6. Nice enough places, and even the nightly rate should only be about 1,500 be. Book it for a night and get a 2 pm checkout the next day and you should be golden.
