Whatever turns you on. I never stay in Soi 22 myself. Perhaps others really like this Soi also. The talent levels of girls on my recent quick walk through Soi 22 bars was too low for me to stay a while. Maybe was too early (Sat night) and the better looking girls yet to arrive (quite possible). Dare I suggest to try Billboard at Nana Plaza for better looking girls (unless you don't like slim girls). LOL Pretty much low talent levels evident at MPs without going inside them all of course. What is the attraction? Sure you have bulk ordinary girls available. I don't need restaurants much. Street and market food is fine. If you will try every girl in a massage shop (Liola), you can't be very fussy. LOL Maybe every Thai girl is attractive compared to what you are used to?

I must be crazy as was quite happy to stay in the "dead" Soi 33 not long ago. It does have some MPs though.

Hi,

yup, I try the girl in Liola because my actual friends is opening the shop as I will go on try his girls, but also as a form of support. Nana Plaza no longer attracted to me. Billboard is famous, perhaps the one and only shop there which is not as pushy as the other outlet within NANA, the girls there a plenty, I used to sitting around the corner with 1 or 2 beers watching the girls dancing showing off their boobs. But a ST of 3700- 4500 bht or above for a ST and only within the ST hotels in Nana Plaza does not appease to me. Just my opinion, those girls don't worth that much for 45 mins ST. Nana no longer an attraction for "lady searching" for a people like me. Recently I sat at Hooters and having beer for an hour, saw some FL lady standing at the front. I even able to get 2 FL for a 3 some for 1500 bht each, and their appearance is not bad. I will post the reports laters in another thread.

Hi,

Sorry it was a typo, it should be "like to stay", I feel its kinda okay with me even the price is not that cheap, but the room is really good, as the equipment and amenities in room is new. Location perhaps play a big part for the price as its near some bars and discotheque. Its accessible to the soi 22 bars and restaurant as well, I mean within walking distance.

"live to stay". LOL you crack me up man. Nobody lives for this purpose. Unfortunate Typo I guess you intended: "like to stay". Cosy reads like an advertising euphemism for very small? LOL, perhaps not your intention also.

I was amazed can get a 30 sq. M room at Sakura Sky (soi 33) for less than 1200. And smaller (like 23 sq. M to 25) for under 1 K. I tried the better size room once for a liason and had no issues at all.

I live to stay in this hotel because of its cleanliness, and comfy cosy feel in the room, its not a very big hotel, probably about 20-30 rooms, But its good location and nearby 7/11, ScratchDogs Discotheque is a plus point. I love to pick up FL or pretty girls ScratchDogs and the hotel is walking distance. Hotel is girl friendly, and not really expensive. Last time I got it from agoda for 1700 bht per night.

For the last few years I have used Airbnb extensively in BKK.

One time on Soi 15.

MANY times at THE EDGE condominium on Sukhumvit Soi 23.

Next one will be at the Noble Ploenchit condo right on BTS Ploenchit.

Never had any kind of problems at all.

I have used AirBnB extensively in BKK. But I prefer to stay in the Silom / Sathon area where the apartments are much nicer. I have also stayed in apartments near Thong Lo, Ekkamai and Ratchada.

Never had any issue with neighbors for any reason. I doubt it would be any different in Suk.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.

Has anyone had much experience using Airbnb in BKK around the Sukhumvit Road area? I basically just work, hit the gym, grab food from the street and have a girl over maybe twice a week. So there would not be much traffic or party noise through the place so am thinking the neighbours wouldn't have an issue.

The prices seem to be about 2/3 of a similar hotel which would be worth it as I am staying for 3 to 4 weeks next visit. Anyone have thoughts?

I notice Ruamchit is sold out many nights due to the Asians going to Thermae. Does anyone know if Ruamchit sets aside ST rooms even if the hotel is listed as sold out?

How do you know it is sold out because of Asians, much less Asians going to Thermae? First off, the hotel is located in Asia, and the presence of Asians in a hotel in an Asian city should hardly be a unusual event. Remember, its their continent, so don't act like they aren't supposed to be there.

Have you ever been down into Thermae? Its not very big, and there is not enough seats at the bar to accommodate many guests, and that would be a much smaller number of guests than the hotel can accommodate. While not large, the Ruamchitt isn't a small boutique hotel either. The night I was there, there was maybe a dozen Asian gentlemen in the place and it was packed to the walls with girls. Nobody was hooking up and leaving until I picked one who actually wanted to chat and hook up. So, its not a place where there is a lot of turnover of Asian tourists. There's probably more turnover out front of the hotel later in the night. Given the other attractions in the area, I can't imagine people staying there sorely just to pay too much money for the privilege of taking young woman with an attitude up the stairs in the back to their room. Personally, I did it out of curiosity and wanted to report something back to the forum. And I'm not Asian. But, I would stay there again for reasons that have nothing to do with Thermae (prime location, really cool staff, rooftop pool, economical price on windowless rooms that allow me to sleep in).

I have stayed at several in the Suk area and they are all very good and although Chinese group tourists make up the majority of guests they are all girl friendly. .

There already is good reason not to stay there, if you want to take the buffet breakfast. Chinese tour groups are perhaps worst behaved in the world, by normal standards.

Anyone has tried the new Novotel in Soi 4? I'm very curious to know the quality of that hotel, I think the position is perfect for everything, food-shopping-pussy.

All Novotels around the world are basically the same as they are in Thailand. It is essentially a formula based hotel. Like a Mcdonalds or Ikea in that the rooms are pretty much cookie cutter stuff but to a nice enough 4 star standard. I like them as they are always very good, perhaps a little plain but always super clean and updated. I have stayed at several in the Suk area and they are all very good and although Chinese group tourists make up the majority of guests they are all girl friendly. I have not had an issue with bringing guests back although I tend to go for more discrete types rather than girls that look like out and out H*s. I am not sure how they would handle dragging back 2 or more girls at the same time that are dressed for the street, perhaps they would not have a problem. I don't know, but a nicely dressed discreet young lady casually walking thru the lobby arm in arm has never been a problem.

I am currently looking at the new one on Soi 4 that literally just opened this month for my next trip in a few weeks. Because it is brand new the prices are much lower than the similar Novotel just down the road around Soi 2, it is about 1/3 cheaper. I would think it is even nicer as everything would be literally brand new. I think there are worse options around. If you do stay there in the next few weeks let us know.

I always stay at hotels on the odd-numbered side of Sukhumvit. I just find that side of the street much more interesting. You can visit popular sois like 7, 11, and 19. The Biergarten, Thermae, Terminal 21, Soi Cowboy are all on that side of Sukhumvit. They're also more street walkers on that side of Sukhumvit.

When friends ask for a recommendation, I always recommend hotels on the side of Sukhumvit with odd numbered sois.

Its far easier to walk on the even numbered side. LOL On 8 is a very conveniently located Hotel. Plus Biergarten and Thermae very have limited appeal to me. Don't usually find what I am looking for to be available to me. Not once did I take a girl from Biergarten unless I have Alzheimers.

Most of the BJ bars (expect Wood) are on even side. LOL Not that I use that often.

I don't think it matters which side if not too deep in Soi. I don't like to stay in Soi 4 though. Traffic and access problems.

Soi 3 to 7 are probably not great choices, the Arab sector. Annoying muslim stuff on loud speakers, and the Arab food and people smells.

No pork available, all Halal.

Column Hotel Soi 16 was fabulous for me when I tried it.
