Bangkok Hotels

[Rob Jones]

I'm quite surprised by the vigor and what I assume is hatred with which you've responded to my posts. I've been working 6-7 days a week for the last two years trying to get my business up and running and keeping up with my instalments toward my house. Now I decided to take a week off and do some mongering (which I can afford thanks to the tax returns), and the hotels I've reserved I've chosen them for their proximity and their prices (all within 25-30 AUD / night off each other) and as such posted my query for suggestions.

Now may be I haven't had enough time to do a thorough research or I'm not very good at this part so I couldn't make up my mind, but that doesn't give you the leave to tell me off and Making false assumptions. The first post led me to think I'm dealing with a condescending old man, but your second response. I believe I can add racism and arrogance to the list (and I honestly don't care if all the WG line up and bend over for free where ever you visit due to your awesomeness). I personally haven't done anything to ruin your experience with WG or hotels (not yet at least, and hopefully never will). So get off your high horse and keep your racial profiling (because that's exactly what it looks like) to yourself.

I too couldn't understand the attack? I'm booking now for my February visit and so far I have booked and cancelled at least once. I use Booking.com and it has a feature that allows me to do that so I am assuming that it is common practice. I was in Pattaya in May and leading up to that trip I booked and rebooked about 6 times due to different reasons ranging from location, reviews and price. Don't let it worry you and enjoy your time in the LOS.

Not common practice in my country buddy. What we do is do our research, find a good deal and book. Its called respect or not screwing around with people and businesses. Some people treat businesses, hotels, restaurants (and even girls) as a master slave type relationship. Next time you are in BKK stand outside hotels and see how many lights are on at night. What you think hotels have waiting lists? You might think its smart, others would agree with me. Funny now I am in Kl and when I go to BC WG flock to me, yes flock, because they know I will treat them with respect whereas other "nationalities" they either say no to or charge ridiculous prices and give crappy performance. And all these "nationalilities" do is wreck the market and promote below avaerage performance.

You make your bed you lie in it.

My mother is a very proper person, and would never do anything even a little bit suspect. As such, there are many things happening for me, I would never mention to her. She would love to interfere in the business of others, according to her rules. LOL Like how I fucked two girls at same time. Ha ha. Even I am a person who would not want to indulge in some of the porn fuelled "sicko" fantasies of others. However I understand other guys have different standards to me, and are looking to dominate and denigrate. I prefer my girls to be enjoying themselves and having fun, as far as possible. Just my way. On odd occasion I had 3 girls concurrently. They were friends and appeared to have a good time. I never took 4 at once. LOL Once I book girls, I am reliable though, unless the girl fucks it up. It is not unusual for a girl to be waiting for some other customer, then eventually go with me, because he did not show up in reasonable time. Girl won't wait forever.

So posts about booking multiple rooms, and then cancelling are not intended for the consumption of guys like yourself. You really should ignore them rather worry too much. No one is really suffering, other than Hotels like this appear to be full when they might not be in reality. It is not illegal what they doing. It is optimising if you like. Making a comment is allowed but we recognise that it won't influence anyone.

Most Hotels know a certain percentage of rooms will be cancelled and filled again maybe at the last minute. It is part of the economic model. Go with the flow.

I have tentatively booked a room in a Hotel for days available, and waited for cancellations to make the in between days available. Since I did not want to keep changing Hotels, if the in between days did not become available, I would cancel the whole lot. No big deal. Hotel was fullish anyway. Hotels are rarely full very day though, due to customers coming and going.

Even when a plane is fully booked and I cannot be given a seat on that particular flight, I show up to the airport, and one hour before let them know I am here waiting for a "no show". Almost never failed to get on the flight in the end. So I know that full flights are not absolutely full, even if they tell me too full to allow me to be wait listed. There are always no shows that the airline was not informed about in advance. They know it. They expect it. Last time I managed to get on such a "full" flight at the last hour, there were still vacant seats. A lot of "no shows" I guess. So this has some parallels to the Hotel room booking situation, especially where customers can cancel for free up to 6 PM on first day of stay.

Suppose just diff POV. Where some may be happy to try their luck I prefer to know in advance exactly when where dates etc. Saves hassle.

- enough hassle with WG. My point is more in relation to similar " atittude " with WG. Now I am not so niave to think there is any integrity in this business but can see why WG have MO as they do when punters treat them this way. I suppose many will say be a realist, that's the world we monger in and that's true. Luckily many girls will treat those of differing nationalities different based on previous expereince.

I am assuming Pullman is in sukhumvit Soi 21.

Soi 23 has lots of massage joints. Are they any good? Who knows? Who knows what you are really looking for? I would rather go elsewhere. I have given more than you deserve with such a vague question.

Pullman G is near Chong Nonsi. Pullman Grand Sukhumvit is the one on Asoke with a rear entrance on Soi 23.

FK.

Bet hotels love you. Just decide on one and go there. Smakes of arrogance.

Why don't you go to bar and book 4 ladies all for same night tooo. Advice- get real, show some respect.

I am an Aussie who travels a bit and I use the free cancellation option all the time. You pay extra for it on booking.com but if it was bad for their business I'm sure they wouldn't offer it. Do I book 4 hotels for the same time, no, but I will cancel and rebook elsewhere if a better offer hits the table or I read a bad review. Nothing to do with respect but what suits you at the time!

[NewImage]

Man,
I don't know what it was in my post that so offended you. But I'm fairly certain that it's common practice to book a hotel that's got good reviews when on a good deal. Then later decide if that's the offer you want to use. I can assure you that the hotels certainly won't be surprised / least bit bothered by this method.
I honestly don't understand what's wrong with having a few options. I'm 22 days away from landing in BKK and as such the hotels won't be hard pressed to find guests for the cancelled rooms (not that it's hard in BKK). And I surely won't apologise for doing what I believe is the smart thing to do (and the analogy you used. I won't even bother commenting on that).

Hey guys,

I've been reading the forum for a while now and would like to thank everyone for the information being assimilated here. .

I'm due to reach Bangkok This month for a holiday and still haven't been able to finalise my stay location. So far I've made reservations at the Park Plaza, Movenpick, the Courtyard and the Continental. From the information here in the forum I gather that all these hotels are GF and have had decent reviews, which have now led to some confusion on my end as to which hotel to confirm. So I would love if any of you senior mangers can help me in my decision making.

In terms of what I plan to do while in BKK, I have initiated contact with an escort agency (xclusivethai) and plan to have escorts come in for the first two days of my stay (for both fun and accompanying me and introducing me to the nightlife scene), after which I plan to go and have my own adventure.

Any and all advice will be appreciated.

AM.

The Continent is a class act and literally 2 blocks from Soi Cowboy. It is a gem.

I'm staying at Pullman G hotel in BKK, is there any good massage parlors near the hotel?

I am assuming Pullman is in sukhumvit Soi 21.

Soi 23 has lots of massage joints. Are they any good? Who knows? Who knows what you are really looking for? I would rather go elsewhere. I have given more than you deserve with such a vague question.

When you actually arrive and engage with your hobby, the "rules" stated to you in an email no longer hold and it turns out there are no rules.

Since trips started to Thailand in 1991, I never actually emailed a Hotel to ask them anything.

Just become aware of which Hotels are "family Hotels" that do not except visitors. They are quite infrequent in sukumvit area, but should be determinable on the web.

I maybe only once ever had a problem when staying in Bangkok Palace in Makkasan maybe 15 years ago or so. It had a lot of Chinese tour groups and was described as a family Hotel.

A Solo Hotel Soi 4 they would not accept a 19 YO visitor (over 21 okay I guess), however was able to check her in as a registered person staying no problem. Stupid, right?

Anyone stayed in Citrus Suites Sukhumvit 6 recently? What has been your experience with bringing back your catch to this place?

I know this hotel is GF since I emailed them and clarified but would like to know if we need to register the guest as mentioned in their email.

As has been said many times before, if you ask them to put in writing their policy regarding an extra visitor in your room then you are going to get a sanitized message quoting the hotel policy that fits the "no prostitution" regulations. All guests must be registered (that's pretty much a world-wide requirement).

No hotel is going to put in writing that they sanction prostitution (which is what it is) because they don't know you.

Thanks.
