View Full Version : Bangkok Hotels
Classic! I prefer that "romantic" back entrance as well. Almost feels like bringing your high school crush to your parents home. LOL! Have to admit I'm a bit on the shy side so Grand Millenium is convenient for me. Even the main entrance isn't much worse.
BTW much more embarrassing than this walk of shame is returning late at night without a girl in your arms. I've done that in Hong Kong and Bangkok and really felt ashamed.Nullnull – or should I say Nono! Come on dude! Time to get with the program! Time to wise up dude.
Classic! Would that be the Magnum Classic? The seductive, romantic and sexy handgun making a front entrance into your fucked up brains? Who knows what those back stairs mercenaries carry in their armory?
Our esteemed member, Greg London, so recently drugged and robbed by such mercenaries, must be turning on his keyboards reading such frivolous postings!

What about the Ramada Hotel & Suites in Soi 12? Is it GF?
Just booked a studio room, looks very nice and seems to have a great pool as well.Maybe. You should call or email them and find out. Do it while you have a chance to cancel. Have I just been trolled?

I have the good fortune to be staying at the Conrad for a night in May. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the place. Is it GF?

Is it GF?Sorry to stir confusion but back in 2009 (when I did research before coming to BKK) the Conrad was said to be not 100 percent girl friendly. Now I have read somewhere it is generally gf but you get problems when you book a club room.

Hopefully it will be another 6 1/2 years before you come back here and ask such a stupid ass question.
What about the Ramada Hotel & Suites in Soi 12? Is it GF?I send them an email with that question and got the following reply:
- Do you have a special policy for joining guests?
Answer : In case you have extra person in your room (third person) you have to pay additional charge as per hotel policy.So 1 girl should be ok
You heard of Google?

Just being a bit more polite wouldn't damage your anyway [lousy] image at all. Right?
Just answer the question, if YOU CAN ANSWER. But cheap charlies like you will for sure not have stayed in that hotel. Fuck you!

My 22 year old nephew is coming to Thailand for holiday for boozing and mongering, and I suggested a few hotels to stay at. And what does he do? The bonehead ignores my advice and booked 4 days at a hostel. He said he booked the hostel because it was really cheap and so far he remains steadfast and will not change to a normal hotel. Lets say I can't get him to switch, are hostels girl friendly at certain times or would he have to resort strictly to short time hotels?

Does he has his own room or is het staying in the really cheap shared rooms with shared bathrooms? Some hostels refuse entrance to Thai people and are strictly farang only.

If he's lucky maybe the girls will take him back to their room and he gets to stay for free. When you're young (yes) and handsome (maybe) anything is possible. Let him find his way, he surely won't be fucking models at Poseidon, but he'll find something he likes. Just try to keep him out of the Bangkok Hilton.

Sorry to stir confusion but back in 2009 (when I did research before coming to BKK) the Conrad was said to be not 100 percent girl friendly. Now I have read somewhere it is generally gf but you get problems when you book a club room.In a hotel you do a few things. 1. Keep head held high, walk with a staight back and fix anyone looking at you or your girl with a beady piercingly straight eye. The look that says " yeah we both know I got a hooker here but don't for one minute think about stopping me".
2. If perchance some one asks you to stop you keep walking, just like Johnnie.
3. If someone steps in front of you, demand loudly and vigourously to see the General Manager (check out his name in advance!). Repeat your need to see Khun Johnnie or Khun Herbert or whatever his name is. They will get out of your way. It all abouit how you carry yourself! Do it with confidence. Whimps get stopped.

From now on in BKK I shall ask the GM's name IN ADVANCE and vigorously demand to see him if any staff member has the gall to look me in the eye!
Sorry to stir confusion but back in 2009 (when I did research before coming to BKK) the Conrad was said to be not 100 percent girl friendly. Now I have read somewhere it is generally gf but you get problems when you book a club room.I believe it was 2009 that I stayed there. Not a club room. Coincidentally, Hillary Clinton and her entourage were there at the same time. I had no trouble with lady visitors. And I met a really nice working girl from Madagascar in the hotel lobby bar. Perhaps the rules were relaxed for the secret service agents staying at the hotel.
The Conrad is GF, based on many stays from its opening in 2003 to 2012. The doorman acts normally (well, I did see one grin to a guest who, most likely unbeknownst to him, was bringing home a sailor-suited ladyboy) , and the security guy near the elevator glances quickly, as with all guests: that is the behavior I expect from an upscale hotel, and this one is a very well honed operation.
Its club lounge does have a dress code, which some WG's might not meet. Since lounge access is only for registered guests, and of no use during mongering hours, not much of an issue. The vast majority of working girls neither like western style breakfast nor feel comfortable in such an environment, so best to send them off before heading to breakfast, or let them sleep through it in case of a long-termer (never seen one keen to get up for breakfast during her prime sleeping hours).

A DIA regular girl doesn't get carded as long as I feel comfortable with my vetting. Working girls he knows get checked. Regardless if I have a girl and don't catch his eyes he knows I'm saying back off we're good.
You're responsible for your own success. I alway opt for two guests in a hotel whether traveling alone or not. So for me it's not much a battle about who's a guest.

Why not? But some of us do surely prefer to bring thier hookers in without any hassle as it seems to be the standard in most of BKK hotels.
The guy who asked about the Conrad is definitely relieved now that this place is gf.

Don't act like a scared pussy metrosexual or guilty. Your wife will not be notified, don't worry. Be proud and confident.
Wow! Impressive! Actually I never had a problem taking a hooker to my room in Bangkok either. As I said it's not much of an achievment since it's so easy peasy in BKK. Nevertheless for a first time visitor to LOS it might be an issue and I'm quite sure there are a few hotels / hostels that don't allow hooker guests.

A newbie should just read the posts and find the GF hotels. Then no problem.
Again, if any of you wonder, just search " girl friendly hotels in Bangkok". There will be several opportunites to get info.
I am trying something different on this trip. I am staying at a different hotel each night. I have stayed at the following so far. All GF.
The Continent: New hotel a short 3 min. walk from Soi Cowboy. It is a Compass Hotel. Same as Pres. Palace, etc.
It is only 2 months old and very nice. Not much else to say. Recommend.
Citadines Soi 8: Rooms are modern and nice. It is a lower price hotel. Unfortunately, the place stinks. Every floor has a smell of food or curry. Also, it requires a Tuk-Tuk to get to Sukhumvit. If you want to save a few bucks, book it.
Dynasty Grande: Great location near Nana. Great price for what you get. Rooms are starting to look a little worn, but still OK. Recommend.
JW Marriott: HAHA. The best in the area. Nothing else to be said.
Remember: I am a guy that stays at the JW and fucks below average girls. I am heading out right now to find one.

Especially if it is to try the Cheapo Compass hotels, not worth it one bit. Better stay at the JW.

Just 15, 000 points for this place. Walk to Central World and Siam. It is very new and nice. I like it alot.
I am having a great time doing this. Changing hotels everyday. Staying in some places I have always been curious about.
As far as "packing". I am not a metrosexual who has 3 bags with them for their makeup and wardrobe. I travel lightly with one carryon. 2 minutes and I am packed.

Doesn't appear to yours either Voltaire. If your going to split hairs better do it in your own language.Many of us do not write perfect English. Plenty of spelling errors and bad grammar.
"If your going to split hairs" should have used "you're" as it's a short form of "you are".
I am not being critical. I think we all struggle at times. Perfection is not necessary.
In fact Nic really was criticising the interpretation of the meaning. Just like I wrote that one single Thai girl claimed she didn't like Thai men (presumably as sex partners) , and some silly Hoeprano seems to think its claiming Thai girls, in general, like Farangs better. Rather than poor English, sometimes guys make extrapolations that are totally illogical.
I also agree with you, that Nic was over reacting, and yes indeed,"splitting hairs".
Looking for reviews of Hotel Solo & Aspen Suites or other suggestions in the $1, 800-2, 200 TB range.

Thai money should be done like this: THB 1800 to 2200. Or 1800 ฿ to 2200 ฿ . The currency is called Baht (and not Bath as so many write).

Syzygies, Majestic Grande can be had within my price range but I am concerned over reports that it's getting "worn." I used to stay at the Majestic Suites but over the years it has gotten so worn and damp due to poor air circulation, I've decided to move on.
The On8 & Phachara Suites are also in my price range.
Cheers
I usually stay at Cutadines 23 / Admiral / Citrus but they all seem to be hitting $75+ now a days. Is there any other good hotel in Sukhumvit 23 area which is as good as these and may be around $50 range?
Thanks NicFrenchy & Syzygies for the info. Anyone else with info on Aspen Suites?
Syzygies, Majestic Grande can be had within my price range but I am concerned over reports that it's getting "worn."
CheersMajestic Grande rooms are just fine for me, without being brand-spanking new. The staffing on the desk is a little light on, but this is really a minor issue. I stayed there recently. Be careful when you book as they may have a non-breakfast price and a different price including Breakfast. Majestic is very handy to Annies and Nana Plaza.
If having a pool and a magnificent breakfast wins you, then this Hotel is recommended. Its more conveniently closer to Sukhumvit than Solo. Also I had an issue at Solo with a 19 year old girl (very close to 20) who they would not allow as a temporary guest but allowed her to "check-in".
I believe I recall some damaged furniture (badly scratched) at Solo being used. So if anything Majestic furniture was better.
Any Hotels that want to hang on to girls Ids are creating hassles these days. I am not so clear on Majestic's rules. I used to like Admiral Premier and would waltz in with 2 or even 3 girls and no Id checks. Recently they have been very full and hard to get a good priced room.
Cannot comment on Aspen at all.
Livingstone's Lodge in Soi 33 is also in your price bracket and they have breakfast available all day and a pool. Its a small boutique Hotel like an Island Oasis strangely in the middle of Bangkok when you expect it to be on some tropical Island.
Grande Millenium is great when they have a super special price on with great rooms and great breakfasts.
JW Marriott may be a magnificent Hotel, but I wait for a special price. Mostly its very clostly. I would much rather stay at Majestic Grande and take a great Annies girl out for the whole night, for the same total price. You have to get your priorities right. I believe in a moderately priced Hotel and use my savings for great girls. Makes little sense to me to be in a posh Hotel and then do el-cheapo girls.

If a girls comes to visit you soon after lunch nobody will check where she goes (as long as she doesn't walk in the lobby like alosts soul)
If she walks in, even with you in the late hurs after 10pm, she'll be asked to leave her I'd at security. A phone call before she leaves (and you stay in the room) from the lobby will check everything is fine with you. I rate this good guest security and GF hotel.
needless to underline Livingstone Lodge in Soi 33 is totally GF and more... just pop in the Sports Baar at the pool and you will see a good selection of girls so that you do not even have to hit the streets to find a night companion. Their bar fines are a bit steep, thouhg before midnight. This is quite a habit of Soi 33, ahve to say.
I think I'll give it a whirl. I can get a room for $69 USD and the same room plus breakfast / internet for $25 more. I think I can find a bite to eat and wifi for less than $25!
Thanks again! I'll be sure to report.

Good chance.3BB isn't that common in BKK despite what many think. As an AIS unlimited package customer I get 3BB connection for free, but it's not easy to find hotspots everywhere.
If booking a hotel in BKK, simply ignore the ones that do not offer in-room Free WIFI.
And beware of the hotels that only offer WIFI in public areas.

hi,
i have a quick question and i hope it doesn't sound odd.
does anyone know of any mid-range, gf hotels in bangkok that have funky decor. you know, bright colours, minimalist vibe, fluffy carpets, modern lines?
i'm hoping to find girls who'll let me film the action. entirely for myself, but i'd like it to look good. i hate how in most monger pr0n it's all beige walls and bare tile floors and peeling wallpaper.
if anyone can answer the same q re pattaya that wd also be awesome.
in short i'd like it to look classy, if that isn't a contradiction in terms.
thanks!

Here you go.Carlifornia Hotel is run by a Swiss guy and rooms come at a very good rate. Highly recommended.
I use this as my ST hotel on Nana.
I would never stay there LT, but if you guys are looking for just a cheap room, it is not bad.
Clean, big bathroom, TV, the people seem nice. One thing about the place is that it is locked in the middle of an alley and is very quiet.
I am back at the Continent now. 5 star. I had 3 Arabs in the room next to me with big mouths till 3am. Might have slept better at the D1.
Guys,
I know I have zero cred here due to my post number but you have to start sometime. Anyways I'm currently at heaven@4 Hotel on soi4 near Nana Plaza and couldn't be more pleased. The room is very spacious, clean, free wifi, no joiner fee and is a great location. The price is awesome too. Worth it to chech out if you are looking for something close to Nana on a budget. Thanks and I'm off to hopefully find some FLs.
First off I want to thank everyone who has posted information in these forums. After months and months of research and gaining great knowledge, I've decided to make the journey to the "Land of Smiles". Some of you know what I do for a living from my recent posts, so when I put in for VACA for this coming up September I got the odd look. Like what's in Thailand for you? I just smiled and said vacation time! Let's see how they treat me on my way back in! HAHAHAHA.
Anyways myself and a few boys will be flying in and were looking for hotel rooms like these (MODERN LOOK) that are guest friendly but also have a big enough room safe for a laptop and camera equipment. Not really worried about price, but I would say max $150 US.

http://www.solohotelsresorts.com/
Two of my friends are tech nerds and will taking a lot of pictures in our down time when we go visit the Historical parts of Thailand and just looking for the security of their things when we go whoring.
Once again I want to thank you all for the information passed down to us as we prepare for our trip. I know some of the "SENIOR MEMBERS" don't really like hanging out with newbie hunters, but I'll let you know when we get in and you can swing by and have a beer or two on us so we can in someway pay you back.
I have stayed at a slew of hotels over the past 2 weeks. Experiencing new places for me.
I have to say for everything; location, price, quality, quiet, GF, etc, the Dynasty Grande Soi 6 is the winner.
For about $70 US a night, it cannot be beat. The Phachara Suites use to be on par with Dynasty Grande prices, but not now.
Just my opinion.
I use this as my ST hotel on Nana.770b seems a bit steep as ST price
770b seems a bit steep as ST priceMaybe I wasn't clear. 300 ST. 770 for LT full day and over night.
The Phachara Suites use to be on par with Dynasty Grande prices, but not now.I was hoping Mr. Puss could elaborate more fully the rationale for his view that the Dynasty Grande is better than the Phachara Suites. Is it a straight up question of value for money? Or does he have other reasons for preferring the Dynasty Grande? (Room amenities, location, breakfast, etc.)
I ask because I'm a fan of the Phachara Suites, but if the Dynasty Grand is a better choice I'd like to learn more.

BunkyI like Phachara better, definitely. I was just giving an opinion of overall rating, including price of course. Phachara use to have the exact price as Dynasty. Now Phachara has raised their price about 10-15% above. Not much, but an issue for some. If price is no object, JW Mariott.

Liked having the kitchenette, but the clean up in the room was lousy and the room stank of smoke even though it was meant to be non smoking.
I thought the dynasty grande was run down. Worn out everything in the rooms but they also tried to charge me for minibar stuff I did not use, blood staining sheets and also for phone calls I did not make.
I'm staying at Grand sukhumvit also in soi 6 next, arriving in a fortnight (got loads of accor points so almost free) and will report on how that place is.
Budget matters so sadly won't be able to comment on JW Marriott but would like to be able to.

I will be visiting for the first time in June I plan on spending four or five days in Bangkok and then two weeks in Pattaya. I have a late flight that does not get into BKK until 12:30 AM I want to get a hotel that is right in the heart of the action and easy for a newbe to BKK to figure out the scene and get some action on my first night. I was thinking of staying at the Nana Plaza hotel but I am open to any other suggestion from the board. I am looking for a modest price room. Where is a good place for a newbe to stay his first night so he can find the action late at night on the first night.
Thanks

ChrisNana Hotel would be the last on my list. I stayed there once for one night. The room was clean, but that is all what was "nice" about it. Airco either off or on "Arctic", fluorescent lights in the room, pay extra for internet, interior design of the Vietnam War era (Great if you want to get that original "R&R"-feeling, but I stayed in military barracks that had more character). For 50 USD you can get better in Bangkok.

A plus is Nana BTS on the door (nearly) giving access to other key areas.
And of course near Gullivers and the Beer Garden. The collapse of Soi 33 means that Soi Cowboy is as far as one needs to go for many MPs. Many FLs and many bars.

I have always had a room in the back building non smoking was always clean and tidy.
My thai wife always likes it here. Always talks with cleaners and tips them (probably asking them to tell on me if I bring a st lady while she is out)
Room was always very well cleaned sheets always clean bathroom well done with new soaps clean towels.
Staff at desk were always polite and helpful.
I like the DG as it is central but quiet location internet is good selection of tv channels for when I land and I am shattered.
If I wanted a room for a couple of days I would book into ever rich inn across the street from majestic suites (ever rich has bigger rooms)
Reasonable internet, big shower anf the King rooms have a view. The queen rooms are smaller with no window.
Good place for a couple of days mongering

Maybe you are upset at whatever happened there mix up or not. If you think it's run down, you must have real high standards and will have to stay at high high end places only. I think for value, quietness, good gym and amenities offered this is a good deal.

Just booked this hotel as usual (from 13. 2 to 17. 2 then it is off to PI). To the posters wanting useful guidance this hotel cost 1881bht per night (excl taxes) for deluxe suite 50sqm (seperate bedroom and ok kitchen with big fridge). No walk of shame or pride (depends on how you view it) as these rooms mentioned is in tower 2 seperated from receptionarea.
Locationwice close to some great freelance pickup places as Climax, Q-bar, Bed&Supper, short cut from soi 11 to soi 7 and Beergarden. You have Villa Market and 7-11 close by.
Happy camping

I would not stay in places with the shit you mentioned, not even if free. I have good info for Pattaya, Phuket, Khon Kaen and few other places, but that doesn't apply here.
If you want a 1000 baht hotel on Sukhumvit, few BTS stops east from Nana and Asok is Imm Fusion. I stayed there back in 2011 and found it clean and charming enough (certainly no smell or cockroaches). It is not posh, but the reception hall is impressive. It is really convenient for that last night stay, since it sits right next to a high-way exit and you can get to the airport in 20 minutes. It is just a 1-minute walk away from BTS On Nut station and a Tesco supermarket. Breakfast was decent enough, nothing special. I don't know about their joiner-policy, though.
My arrival stay in BKK is booked at Dawin this time, but since I have an early flight out in March, I might book Imm Fusion again, maybe just to test their monger-friendliness.

To say that none of the last 100 posts are useful in that regards is ignorant. Maybe you should just say that you are looking for information on cheap places instead of practical instead of coming on here making such idiotic statements as such. Thailand is a lot more expensive than it used to be with regards to currency exchange and changes in the economics. The thread is on "Bangkok Hotels", not "Budget Hotels for the Truly Budget Minded Where Every Baht Counts". Some people can't stay in such places because certain elements will forbid the person from quality sleep or other where for others it doesn't matter.

Chris,
Try Grand Millenium on Soi 21. Excellent hotel. Very girl friendly. 1 minute walk from Soi Cowboy, perfect for late flight arrivals. Price per night should be around 3000-4000 baht. Here's my report from my first stay, have been there a couple of times since:
http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?2677-Bangkok-Reports&p=1264060&viewfull=1#post1264060
Another favorite of mine is Aloft on Soi 11. Mid-way between Nana and Soi Cowboy (walking distance to both). Equally girl friendly, nice and modern. Price per night should be around 2000 baht.
-h.
I will be visiting for the first time in June I plan on spending four or five days in Bangkok and then two weeks in Pattaya. I have a late flight that does not get into BKK until 12:30 AM I want to get a hotel that is right in the heart of the action and easy for a newbe to BKK to figure out the scene and get some action on my first night.

I have good info for Pattaya, Phuket, Khon Kaen and few other places, but that doesn't apply here.You are so right about the other cities. And as you say it does not apply to Bangkok. For awhile my go to hotel was Le Fenix on Soi 11. I could book it on wotif. Com for 1200 to 1400. The walk in rate was closer to 2000. I do not go there much now because it is showing the wear of the masses. Now I spend either side of 2000 to be comfortable in BKK.

Hi everybody,
I can recommend the Peninsula Hotel in Bangkok to be very girl-friendly. The girls are usually escorted up to the rooms, but this is done very discreetly: when the concierge call you to verify, they don't mention your name (in case someone downstairs is listening). Plus it is an excellent hotel. The rooms aperfect playgrounds for a lot of adult fun. Through certain contacts, you can even book orgies and sex parties (models only) at the hotel.
Also there is a beauty salon in the basement which also offers in-room massages (3000 Baht) , and for a small tip they offer happy end (which I find quite expensive, it is however convenient).
Can highly recommend it.

Instead of telling new posters they shout rtf themself why can not someone or the administrator every week pop out a list automaticaly with not Gf hotels in BKK (I guess that list would be shorter than the opposite). I have businessfriends staying in rather upscale places as Lempinski, sheraton, lebua, intercontinental, hyatt and such but never ever do they have trouble bringing company to their room. Most upscale venues even have lists of elite escort willing to assist all your needs. Some even have freelancejoints in their basements, hehe. A hotel in BKK know why people come (mostly business and pleasure).
And in my book as long as I stay in room and order it for 2 persons then they have to tell me why I can not bring a guest to my room as I stay alone (I have never ever had any trouble). Maby there are some typical familyresorts in BKK (but doulbt it) then I can understand. As I know a lot of chartertouristic places as in Krabi and Phuket area (beachresorts catering an all inclusive crowd). Staying alone in a hotel like this would first of all stigma you in bad way and second then I would understand if they would leave out the worst prostitutes entering together with all families vacationing there. Third the walk of shame would be tremendous as chances I wouldnrun into my neighbours family would be large. And then we talk big shame.
I have got a great deal at this hotel for 50% discount on the price but is this a good hotel if I'm only in Bangkok for the girls?
I'd like to have walking distance to some of the good places but this maybe is a bit to far up the road?

ThanksYou are comparing Apples to Oranges. PP is a large commercial hotel whereas Livingstone is a small boutique hotel. Both has it's advantages and disadvantages.
With LL you get a personalized service by the owner and staff. Where else would a hotel owner take you around for a "nightlife in BKK run". So it depends on your perspectives.
I'd like to have walking distance to some of the good places but this maybe is a bit to far up the road?It's near BTS station Thonglor, so Tulip is just around the corner and within a 2 minute skytrain ride you are at Mango Massage, and 3 more minutes with skytrain then you are already at Asoke from where it's easy to get to Soi Cowboy. And 2 more minutes to you are BTS station Nana

Instead of telling new posters they shout rtf themself why can not someone or the administrator every week pop out a list automaticaly with not Gf hotels in BKK (I guess that list would be shorter than the opposite).You do realise you have just volunteered yourself for this task?

You are comparing Apples to Oranges. PP is a large commercial hotel whereas Livingstone is a small boutique hotel. Both has it's advantages and disadvantages.
With LL you get a personalized service by the owner and staff. Where else would a hotel owner take you around for a "nightlife in BKK run". So it depends on your perspectives.Three visits at varying times over the last six / seven years convince me that it is a great base for a few days in Bangkok. I have stayed elsewhere (not of my own volition) and always regret
Missing the all day breakfast.
The Lodge has had a much needed up-grade. I regret the demise of the 'cook shop' on the edge of Soi 33 but I am told guests prefer the more comprehensive menu.
The Sports Bar can be hit and miss. But so can any bar. But watch the hefty bar fine.
I've heard stories were people don't book in advance just get a taxi from airport and head to hotel of your liking and you will get a better price per night than booking online or in advance. Is this true?

I've heard stories were people don't book in advance just get a taxi from airport and head to hotel of your liking and you will get a better price per night than booking online or in advance. Is this true?It all depends. You may or may not get the rack (bottom) rate depending on how ull the hotel is.
Look at it sensibly. You have been on an aircraft for 10-12 hours, you have waited an hour to go through immigration and get your luggage, you get in a taxi.
And get in a hassle over the use of the meter, you are stuck in traffic for an hour and you still want to wander round Bangkok trying to get a cheap deal. To save $10.
Get organized. Book a hotel you can afford for one or two nights and then look around.
Better still don't come to Bangkok if you are so concerned with getting the cheap (set) hotel room. Could be non-GFand you will end up paying Baht500+ for a joiner fee.
Any experience at the asoke hotel? They currently have a special on expedia.I think we need a bit more detail.
Do you mean the Asoke Residence?
There are loads of good hotels in the Asoke area with specials, some are closer to the action than the Asoke Residence. It all depends on what you budget / requirememts are.
I'm looking for your recomendations.
Livingstone is a bit cheaper and they have breakfast but the palace seems to be nicer and better location.
Living stone seems to have a sports bar with pros already there.
However I've never been and I'm looking for your recommendations.
Is presidential palace girl friendly. Livinstone is.
ThanksHttp://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=M2502
This is Dream Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 15. Good choice and only 1725 baht on their cheapest rate (name hidden under the Wotif special but this is Dream). Obviously girl friendly.
-
If you fancy something down the other end of Sukhumvit, SKYY hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 1 is ok. Right next to the Bumrungrad hosptial for "on your doorstep" food choices. Girl friendly and security card lift access. Its cheap and cheerful but fine.
http://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=W100614
Only 1799 baht.
-
Pretty much every hotel in BKK is girl friendly. But to be sure ALWAYS book the room for 2 people (no difference in price). Then nobody can ever say you have to pay a joiner fee, should you ever find a hotel that does do this.
Hi all,
If your looking for a girl friendly hotel please go to the following link. Many hotels from 1 star to 4 star.

If girls are the main reason then this hotel is not the most convenient in Bangkok. While it is very close (walkable) to the Tulip oily massage parlor, and also walkable to the oilies on Soi 24, it is a bit too far to walk to Soi Cowboy and Nana.
Fortunately, the Marriott is very close to the Thonglor BTS station, so Soi Cowboy (Asoke BTS) and Nana (Nana BTS) are only 2 and 3 stops away (I. E. A couple of minutes). If you are OK with that, and if you have ascertained that the hotel is girl friendly (send them an email and ask, all hotels in Bangkok get this question all the time) , then this hotel will work.
I have got a great deal at this hotel for 50% discount on the price but is this a good hotel if I'm only in Bangkok for the girls?
I'd like to have walking distance to some of the good places but this maybe is a bit to far up the road?

Hi All,
Just to let you know Novotel Siam Square is Girl friendly.
CM2 disco is also in the same building.
I had no problem taking a girl from the club to my room, no one stopped me or asked any I'd from the girl.
Some really nice girls in the club.
If it helps anyone, I satyed at Admiral Premier and Citadines 23 during last trip. $85 with brkfast/$63. Both are excellent newish hotels offering A grade facilities and very G-friendly. Almost next to Soi Cowboy.
Grand President now available under 2000 baht a night all in.
Secret Deal hotel.
http://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=M7726
I have stayed at Grand Suk and it is fine. It is however the "tour group" hotel for the area so expect large crowds of people.You are right, Grand Suk was tour group central, lots of golfers and asian tour groups but no problems with queues which was good. Hotel was ok, stayed 4 nights and I paid with accor points so can't comment on price but was in a "bronze" room which was small but well equipped, good bathroom and good housekeeping. Did not have breakfast there, (never up in time) but looked at restaurant menu which was in english and Russian? And it seemed ok. Would stay again when I have enough points. Did not bring anyone back to the room so cannot comment if GF. WIFI is not free in the rooms (380 Bt per day) but is free in the lobby if you get a password from reception.
Had a chance to extend my stay for a few more days so I am now in Adelphi suites (booked through expedia £54 per night for a one room suite including breakfast for 2) , hotel is GF, breakfast is ok and runs until 10:30, location is good and monsoon restaurant is quite good. Free WIFI in the room with a good connection. Great shower (big enough for two) and bathtub, housekeeping is ok but a bit random for timing.
In reply to Key Masters comments earlier, I had no issues with the facilities in the Dynasty Grande outside the room, lots of issues with reception on check out but if a hotel is claiming to be four star I expect a basic standard of equipment, fittings in the room, and service, even allowing for the Thailand factor, and this is the level of hotel I normally stay at when in Thailand (two. Three times a year) , I would love to be able to afford to use marriots, hiltons and similar routinely but when I can afford it I prefer a serviced apartment now.

Maybe your definition of practical traveler is misconstrued on your part. To say that none of the last 100 posts are useful in that regards is ignorant. Maybe you should just say that you are looking for information on cheap places instead of practical instead of coming on here making such idiotic statements as such. Thailand is a lot more expensive than it used to be with regards to currency exchange and changes in the economics. The thread is on "Bangkok Hotels", not "Budget Hotels for the Truly Budget Minded Where Every Baht Counts". Some people can't stay in such places because certain elements will forbid the person from quality sleep or other where for others it doesn't matter.But not even is called "$50 and above Hotels"? And since when cheap hotel == no quality sleep? That, together with the mini lecture on "economics" shows that your travel experience is quite short sighted. Other have at least provided a bit of information, you can happily remain in your middle-class tourist hotels, good luck.
Ok so you guys here have ALOT of experience from Bangkok so lets make a top 3 list of the BEST GF-hotels in Bangkok under 2500 THB!
I guess you all think pretty different from eachother but I think we can make a good list here.
Maybe the best hotels are placed right between Nana and Cowboy?
Of course you can't have walking distance to ALL the good places you want to visit but if you want to stay close to some places that you know you are going to visit many times.
Then what are your top 3?

Some really nice girls in the club.How much per night at novotel? Would they have 2 bdroom suites? . We are a group of 4, and would prefer to share a suite rather than all get single rooms.
Is cm2 purely a freelancer pickup joint? . What other clubs is it comparable to? Spasso?

OK two bedrooms does restrict you a little.
I did look at Column and Jasmine Executive Suites Hotel both of which have 2 bedroom suites.
Whilst the Column is good my preference would be the Jasmine, as this is really close to Soi Cowboy (2 mins walk) and the BTS / MTR. Having said that I don't think you will get the 2 bed for $150.

I stayed there once in a Jacuzzi Suite and had a great time. I booked through Agoda.
There are no problems with girls here.
Enjoy
I'm looking for places w multi bedroom suites, so that our party of four can save money, while each enjoy their privacy in their own room. Any suggestions?The Shama Sukhumvit on Soi 2 offers three-bedroom suites. Rates are in the neighborhood of 10-thousand to 12-thousand baht.

More specifically why the hell do you want to stay on Soi Cowboy. Walk your bar fine 200 yards and you probably hit a dozen hotels; tuk tuk her 20 baht worth and you are a mile away.
All you will get ON Soi Cowboy is noise (and the desire to go out and find another girl when your first pick turns out to be a star fish!
Does anyone have a usable map (link) of Sukhumvit area with the sois and hotels detailed.Just go to agoda. Com, there you find a very usable map for many areas in Bangkok
Am struggling a little to find a hotel bang on Soi Cowboy.The Grand Millennium is very close to Soi Cowboy. If you go out the front door and turn left it's a quick walk south on Asok to the west end of Soi Cowboy. Just a few steps more and you can get on the skytrain and the subway. If you go out the back door and turn right it is a quick walk south on Soi 23 to the east end of Soi Cowboy.
The Grand Millennium is a four star hotel that's totally joiner friendly. When I stayed there I paid a little extra to have access to the club lounge (or whatever they call it). The breakfast was good and the staff were very helpful.

For Pattaya which made my Pattaya plans that much easier. Help is really appreciatedPattaya is much smaller and less crowded than Bangkok's Sukhumvit area so finding a comparable on-line map with details is difficult to find. If you find one, it'll be hard to read since the area is so congested that details like Sois and hotel names will be in very small print or only major ones will be identified.
If you're new to Bangkok and need to know your away around, I highly recommend the Groovy Map of Bangkok.
http://groovymap.com/city_page.php
You can buy it in Thailand for 250 baht or on-line at Amazon. I've got other maps of Bangkok, but none with the same details as the Groovy Map of Bangkok.
The Groovy Map of Pattaya is nice, but I wouldn't buy it. The one that you found on-line is sufficient to finding your way around.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Man! .
Point taken about the easy transport (compared to Pattaya which can be little more challenging) in BKK. But I wanted to stay in a place which has some advantage. Maybe near the discs (for freelancers) , right next to a Nuru Massage place or something like a river front property with easy transport (within 2500bht). Any suggestions? There are far too many hotels arnd to confuse anyone. Anyone with a feedback on Citadines on Soi Cowboy?

That's still a great choice for a BKK first-timer:
- Extremely girl friendly hotel with very friendly staff.
- The hotel has its own sports bar with a dozen or so girls you can barfine.
- You can chill out by the pool with a beer during the day.
- Fits your budget exactly.
- Walking distance to all the oilies in Soi24.
- Walking distance to Emporium for shopping and dining.
- Plenty of massage parlors in Soi 33 also, just outside the hotel door.
- Walking distance to Skytrain, which brings you straight to Soi Cowboy (1 stop) or Nana (2 stops)
- Easy taxi access to Soi Cowboy and Nana (although I prefer Skytrain)
You can even walk to Soi Cowboy, I have done this many times myself. According to Google Maps it is exactly 1 kilometer, which is a 15 minutes leisurely stroll.

Two minor negatives (!) the girls' knowledge of English can be a drawback and (ii) the bar fine was / is Baht 1500.True, but you don't have to take girls from their bar.

Thanks and regardsI'd recommend you do a Google search for "$30 hotel Sukhumvit Bangkok". If you're willing to stay further away from the "action," you'll have more options. At that price, you're looking for a hotel that offers no amenities except four walls, a door, and a bed.

Even the most hardened of WGs is not going to fancy going back to a doss house (she probably sharesa room with others in her own place.
If you cannot afford $150*£100 plus a day before you factor in punting costs you are going to have a miserable time.

Afford expensive hotels. If its not possible to find a hotel at this rate, it would be more helpful for me just to say "no possible here" than "find another job".

Anyone with a feedback on Citadines on Soi Cowboy?Yes, I've stayed at Citadines Soi 23. The one bedroom suite was more than adequate with good broadband services and full kitchen. The Tuk-Tuk service never ran when I was there but Cowboy / MRT / BTS are in easy walking distance. Girl friendly, often had to key card the front door later at night.

Does anyone have any recommendations for suites, 'studio' or 'hotel apartment' type accommodation in Bangkok? In January (based on good advice from this Forum) I stayed at the Marriot apartments (in Sukhumvit Soi 24, I think) which was fine, but I just wondered if there was anywhere else that might be better?
What I would really like is the largest possible area in terms of square feet / metres, but also of good quality. I don't particularly mind whether the accommodation is arranged as a single 'studio' room, or as a separate bedroom and sitting room / kitchen area. However, more than one bedroom would be fairly pointless. If there are two rooms I would prefer a flatscreen TV in both rooms, although this is not essential. Also a DVD player (preferably multi-region) and in house movies if possible, but again this is not essential.
I'm not too bothered about the hotel facilities, but a gym would be good. Location does not necessarily need to be in the Sukhumvit area, but if not then should not be too remote.
For example. Does anyone have a view of the Conrad suites, or Grand Centre Point?
I know I'm asking a lot but I don't really want to pay more than 175 USD per night (including taxes).
Oh yes, and the place must be girl friendly – can't emphasise that enough!
All suggestions gratefully received.

You have not done any research.
I will throw out Phachara Suites. It is 1/2 of what you say you want to pay. Upscale, kitchen, flat screens, gym. 5 minutes from Nana. Top notch place.
But there are many more if you put some time in to check.

US175 will get you accomodation almost everywhere along the Sukhumvit so you can just pick one place. I have not still lived in one hotel close to Suk NOT GF. I have heard of some have trouble if they book room for only 1 person but allways book for 2 persons (important). So you choose. All hotels (atleast I don't know of one) , along Sukhumvit, will give you a decent room.
In places like Emporium suites, S31, Terminal 21 hotel you get decent room with almost the space you require. In my favorite hotel Grand president Soi 11 you can get family room from 70. 80sqm ranging from 6. 7000 bhats. Mostly I live in deluxe suite same hotel but different tower (tower 2, family suites / rooms are in tower 3 above the "old german pub" (nice food by the way). Deluxe suites have 2 tv's (one big flat 42' or 37' in livingroom and one smaller 32' in bedroom). Livingroom have DVD player without region restrictions. I bring some norwegian dvd's and they work fine.
Space is from 50. 70sqm depends if you get corner or side room or junior suite, own bedroom, and ok kitchenette with supplies accordingly. Good value for money. Very GF just don't dare to come back nighttime without female company then you will have "walk of shame" LOL (I guess LOL is better than hehe or haha). Deluxe suite only 2200bhts incl tax per night. 3-4 minutes from Sukhumvit (walking slow) after you come outside building. Elevators can be hazzle during daytime as tower 2 just have 2. So add some waitingtime.
NB! Some kingbeds do have wheels so if you start a FS with some tempo and great movement you will find yourself in another part of the room from where you started. But can be a nice journey depending on the girl..

Does anyone have any recommendations for suites, 'studio' or 'hotel apartment' type accommodation in Bangkok? In January (based on good advice from this Forum) I stayed at the Marriot apartments (in Sukhumvit Soi 24, I think) which was fine, but I just wondered if there was anywhere else that might be better?
What I would really like is the largest possible area in terms of square feet / metres, but also of good quality. I don't particularly mind whether the accommodation is arranged as a single 'studio' room, or as a separate bedroom and sitting room / kitchen area. However, more than one bedroom would be fairly pointless. If there are two rooms I would prefer a flatscreen TV in both rooms, although this is not essential. Also a DVD player (preferably multi-region) and in house movies if possible, but again this is not essential.
I'm not too bothered about the hotel facilities, but a gym would be good. Location does not necessarily need to be in the Sukhumvit area, but if not then should not be too remote.
For example. Does anyone have a view of the Conrad suites, or Grand Centre Point?
I know I'm asking a lot but I don't really want to pay more than 175 USD per night (including taxes).
Oh yes, and the place must be girl friendly – can't emphasise that enough!
All suggestions gratefully received.Many places to choose from, bur I always seem to come back to Citadines on Soi 23. For a price of approx. 2500 baht / night and within walking distance of Soi Cowboy, the SkyTrain and the MRT, and with scores of massage girls in the street, I find it a great valyue for money. Totally girl-friendly of course, but depending on who is doing duty at reception they may want to register your guest.

On the top floor there is a little open-air swimming pool and a gym.

If you'd like to stay near Soi Cowboy, check out the Admiral Premier:
http://www.admiralpremier.com/
The Admiral Suite is over 600 square feet, in a one-bedroom layout. My room had a balcony overlooking Soi 23 and a washing machine, which came in very handy.
If you'd like to stay near Nana Plaza, consider the Phachara Suites:
http://www.phacharasuites.com/
The one-bedroom "executive" will satisfy your needs. But if you really want to splash out consider the one-bedroom "PREMIER," which features acres of space, one-and-a-half baths and a huge outdoor terrace. Often the one-bedroom premier is booked by a long term guest. But with enough lead time you might be able to reserve it.

This is the One Bedroom PREMIER. But as others have noted, the One Bedroom EXECUTIVE is also very nice and IMHO good value for money.

I am making my first trip and staying at a brand new Marriott at 2 Sukhumvit Soi 57, Klongtan Nua, Wattana (opening March 2013)
Since I don't know anything other than that it is a 2 minute walk to the BTS, I was wondering if you experienced members could let me know what I might expect as far as what my hotel is close to and not close to and how I will find it's location with regard to activities and bringing guests.
I have no idea how guest friendly it is or isn't.
Thanks.
Of course I plan to report on all of my experiences.

If you wanted a suite particularly there are hotels in the lower numbered sois between NANA Plaza and Soi Cowboy that are reasonable in price, like the Landmark Hotel as example. You are in the middle of the japanese end of town, so I would guess the hotel is friendly, most Marriotts are.

I could change my hotel if it is so far out of the way that it will be a hastle for me. How long will it take for me to travel to NANA Plaza and Soi Cowboy?
Do you think it is worth me changing my hotel? I like the idea that it is a high end hotel.
What else is in the area of Soi 57 that is worth visiting?

You want high end stay at JW Marriott near Nana Soi 2.
The Continent on Soi 21 is brand new and upscale and a 2 minute walk from Soi Cowboy and Terminal 21 mall.
Soi 57 is too far away I think.

First of all I must say a big thank-you to Wolvenvacht, Skogis, Bunky and Luvpuss for their excellent suggestions. I have spent several hours looking at possible hotel suites / apartments to try to work out the pros and cons. I still couldn't find anything which exactly met my requirements of size and quality within my budget, so I am looking to compromise a bit.
Without boring you any further with my 'logical reasoning', my current favourites are either the S31 or Fraser Suites. I just wondered if anybody had any (recent) experience of these places, and can think of any good reasons NOT to stay there, apart from price?
Thanks again for all your help. Also if anyone has any recommendations other than those which have been mentioned in the posts below I would be most happy to hear them.

Also if anyone has any recommendations other than those which have been mentioned in the posts below I would be most happy to hear them.I have not stayed at the Fraser but did have a good stay at S31, it is a nice place. It is close to Soi33 but a little walk to the BTS and Soi Cowboy. If you are keen to be closer to Soi Cowboy, I would also check out the Jasmine Executive Suites. This is very close to both Cowboy and Asoke BTS / MTR and they always have deals available.
I am about to start another trip and am staying this time at the Grand Centre Point Sukhumvit, which is attached to both Asoke BTS / MTR and Terminal 21 and will advise after the trip.
Good move. Much better location. About a 3 minute walk to Nana. Very classy and upscale. Pool area and steak house are great.
You won't be dissapointed.
Also, I have stayed in several Marriott properties in BKK. All are GF, including the JW of course.

Many thanks, Doggage, for your recommendations and advice. Yes, I have already looked at the Grand Centre Point, but was slightly discouraged by the fact that it appears they do not serve alcohol (although evidently they do not mind if you supply your own, which would work out cheaper anyway). Also (having just taken another look) it now appears to be out of my price range for the dates I am considering.
I have taken a look at the Jasmine but I must say that at the moment I still prefer the S31 or Fraser Suites.
Any further suggestions from members for good quality hotel suites or apartments in or near Sukhumvit would be gratefully received.

FYI for ISG members, I stayed in Silom Serene Hotel near Sala Daeng BTS and Patpong, rate per night approx 2000 baht. Nice hotel with good facilities except for one major disadvantage which I found out after I checked in. They charge an additional 1100 baht joiner fee for any girl that stays overnight. For that reason I won't be staying there again which was a pity as it was a nice hotel otherwise.

Bunky: Lots of room pics but no ladies. Que pasa?Sadly, there are FAR too many wankers who think it's OK to show that type of photo to the working girls. This, of course, is something that is simply not done. But there you have it. So the vast majority of my photos will be of the usual sort one takes whilst on holiday.

You have gotten some great suggestions. What "doesn't meet your requirements."
I still think Phachara Suites are your best bet. Great loc, large modern rooms with plasma TV, full kitchens, a gym, breakfast if you want, laundry and 7-11 across the street. Pussy and many restaurants around the corner. All for $100 or less.

You have gotten some great suggestions. What "doesn't meet your requirements.".He is conducting interviews. He will let us know later.
I just booked it for my next trip.
This hotel is better booked directly on their site. They had a "hour special". I paid about $95 a night for a superior high floor "club" room.
Including a really good buffet breakfast where they cook egg dishes freshly, internet. 2 items of laundry a day, local calls. The best part of this is I am on the "club floor". This gives me free snacks and beverages during the day.
In the evening it includes appetizers, free alcoholic drinks including mixed drinks. Mojito's, margaritas etc.
I have stayed here many times and the girls love it.

Gents,
I have just returned to Abu Dhabi from my beloved Sukhumvit. As usual, I chose to stay at the very girl friendly Omni Tower, Soi 4.
Whilst The Omni is certainly no longer plush (I first lived there in 2002) it is certainlt adequate and very good value for Sukhumvit Soi 4. I use Syncate to book my rooms usually a one bedroom suite for THB 1, 500.
As I mentioned, The Omni needs a good refurb in the public areas, but the actual apartments are fine. And absolutely no hassle getting the girls in with you or visiting (outcall).
Keep smiling and promoting international relationships with the ladies!

Finally, how is the internet service? Fast? Reliable?

I've been staying at the Majestic Suites for years but during my last visit I thought it was getting a bit musty. Too bad as I have always been very pleased before. (My memory is probably favorably colored due to the fact that a few years back I had an amazing three days with a high society Thai girl I met in the lobby.)
I'm about to book the Majestic Grande to give it a try but I was just curious before I do, if anyone has stayed at the Majestic Suites recently and has any info on their experience?
I've also been told that the Ever Rich Inn King Room is also worth considering. Any Info?

ThanksMajestic grande is good value for the money, friendly staff, decent rooms. Just be aware there are some families there so have the girl not too slutty dressed if entering in normal hrs or taking her to breakfast in the morning. Doesn't matter if age difference marks the fact she is most likely a WG. I pay between 2700/2800. Deluxe room with king bed.
Last time I tried the suite, nearly double price. Nice, spacious, great bathroom with jacuzzi and large shower but not worth.

One last question. Between the "Grande Superior" & "Grande Premier", is there a big difference? I really don't end up spending that much time in the room. I do prefer the highest floor possible, do "Premier" rooms go up to higher floors? Is the "Grande Deluxe" really worth the extra $? They all sound so Grande. That I'm grandly confused.

BunkyThe room photos on the OMNI's website do NOT look anything like the actual rooms, but they're good enough for the room rates. Some rooms are slightly better than others (not as worn out).
All the amenities between the studio and one-bedroom are the same except size. For one-person, I thought the studio rooms were sufficiently large enough. If there are more than two people or if you are going to entertain lots of people who were going to stay overnight, a one-bedroom might be necessary.
I've never been in a Premier room so I have no opinion.

BunkyPremier would be one of their refurbished rooms. And the last time we stayed, I found the in-room wifi just ok. Lsing signal at times. But you can't beat their price and location.
This is proably the best deal, as long not staying in the usual areas is required. The hotel is located by one intermediate stop ofr the Airport Link. Trip to Suk. May be a up to 30mins depending on traffic, however one could alwasy catch train+bts combination. It is also very near to the upscale sopies by Ramamkhung.
Expedia booking can get you a small room for $13, or $17 for nice large one. Wifi is additional Bt. 150 / day.
Staff is efficient, rooms are clean and well maintained, ample parking, and they will not make a fuss whatever you bring to the room, no I'd check is asked.

I do prefer the highest floor possible, do "Premier" rooms go up to higher floors? Is the "Grande Deluxe" really worth the extra $? They all sound so Grande. That I'm grandly confused.I was able to get a room in Majestic Suite from Agoda after all. I wish all "musty dumps" were like this. Clean big room with large beed, flat screen TV, room safety box big enough for wide screen laptop. They seem to be investing for new fridge units at the moment. Earlier I used to stay in Grande President but it favoured by arabics and so for example breakfast is designed for muslim preference. Too wedgy for my taste and bacon is made from chicken.
This is proably the best deal.I do not see somebody spending 18$a night going to a "upscale soapie by Ramamkhung" and if you account for the taxi or mass transport trips (not to mention BTS clsoes down at some point at night) I do not also see this as being a "mongering worth hotel". You put it right:
as long not staying in the usual areas is required., on the other hand and this defines the attraction of such a place.
Earlier I used to stay in Grande President but it favoured by arabics and so for example breakfast is designed for muslim preference. Too wedgy for my taste and bacon is made from chicken.I do respect all religions and ethnicities, somehow, and I can go along with arabs and muslims (as long as their behaviour is normal and that has, tobe honest, not much to do with religious belief but rather on individual or group habits, even if the ethnicity has a role) , but it is true that the influence they have on some establishemnts can be a nuisance for non-muslims (for instance). I stopped going in a specific hotel in Malaysia as the restaurant was not serving any beer (you can get it at the hotel bar, sir). I am not much of a beer drinker but the forced limitation is an unpleasant imposition. And so is the predominance of some food in non muslsim countries to cater for msilims hosts. Hence, I agree, it is the hotel choice to direct their services to certain customers but they have to accept that others stay away.

That I'm grandly confused.Tehre is an abuse of the word "grande" in Thailand. I agree with you. You get grandly Confused, LOL.
I think I always book Grande Superior and that is fair enough. Sometime Igeet a "low" floor (6-10) sometime I get a higher floor (10-14) , sometime I get the "high traffic road" side (a nuisance if lower floor) , sometime I get the front side (facing Soi 2, and that is the best side) , Once I get a 9th floor jsut above the pool and that was a bit noisy as the pool as nice whirlpool features. Nice when you are in the water, but damned noisy when you lay at the pool or your room is above them: sounds like you are in a washing machine. The pool runs from 6 soemtehing am till 10something pm. Abit of a gamble on the room assignement, I have to say. I am not sure you can pre-determine it, but worth asking a "high floor" when booking.
the Maj. Suites is a pretty much a musty dump.I do not know how much the rooms are sound-proofed, but the location is not a silent one
Topk almost 4 years but I finally booked my flight. Any recommendations for a hotel right next to a soapie / etc? I'll be with a small group so will need to slip in and out as the need arises.
Thanks!
Hello,
Its been a while since I've posted on the ISG, partly because I don't monger so much now, however I do on occasion pay a visit.
Coming back to Bangkok this weekend for a stag.
No doubt may need to bring ladies back to the hotel room, am staying at The Continent Hotel in Asoke, does anyone know if it is guest friendly?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.I stayed there a couple of months ago and no problem. It is managed by Compass Hospitality which has never hassled me at any of their hotels.
It is a nice place. Go to the rooftop for a drink.
i have stayed at both on this trip. haven't been to adelphi for over a year. both service apartments. kitchens, washers, etc.
i would choose phachara. both are good. gf. they are within a 5 minute walk of each other (if you cut thru past [CodeWord901] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord901)'s).
but adelphi is showing a little wear. still nice, but phachara is nicer i think and is about 10 to 15% less price.
ps: if you book phachara do not do it from their site. always higher (sometimes 1000 b) than booking. com or agoda.

I just wanted to post a report about my recent stay at the Ibis Nana.
It is on Soi 4, which is the street that the Nana plaza is on. It is about three blocks distance down the street from it and Sumk road. Soi Cowboy is about 1/4 mile east down Sumk road. Ibis is very close to, if not in Ground Zero for girly fun.
I was happy with the hotel. I paid $60 total for the night (only there for a layover, but have been to BKK before) The rooms are very small, and there are only two types of rooms. From what I remember, they are one double bed or two twins. There are no standard, superior, etc distinctions. I had a one double bed room. I think it only adequate for one person, and barely that. However, the hotel makes up for that with the fact that the hotel is new, only since 2009, and it shows. The hotel still "feels" new. Aircon is strong. The rooms are basic, but clean and satisfying. Ibis, being, a chain, has good service from the front desk. I did not test it, but everyone says it is GF. I can't imagine it not being so, given where it is located.
It is also relatively close to the Makkasan station, Airport Express train. It was my first time riding it, since the last time I was here was 2008. I LOVE that express train! It will save you much time and aggravation.
I will be stopping by BKK again in six months. Despite my happiness with Ibis, I will probably stay a little further down the road on Sumk next time, near Soi Cowboy. The Nana area just has this kind of gross, stinky vibe to it. It's not the smell of sewage. Its a mix of exhaust smoke, and I think, those insects that they like to fry up as snacks (Yuck). Even if the Ibis was clean, the Nana area has a grime to it. I like Soi Cowboy much better. I remember walking to to Soi Cowboy, thinking that BKK was gross and I was never coming back. Then I walked into Baccara and couldn't believe my eyes. The hottest collection of Asian women that I had seen in a long time, maybe ever. Pattaya has more women, but the percentage of hot women I think is higher at Soi Cowboy.
Can anyone recommend a hotel, hopefully with the same price range and quality, a little further down the road near Soi Cowboy?

I was happy with the hotel. I paid $60 total for the night (only there for a layover, but have been to BKK before) The rooms are very small, and there are only two types of rooms. From what I remember, they are one double bed or two twins. There are no standard, superior, etc distinctions. I had a one double bed room. I think it only adequate for one person, and barely that. However, the hotel makes up for that with the fact that the hotel is new, only since 2009, and it shows. The hotel still "feels" new. Aircon is strong. The rooms are basic, but clean and satisfying. Ibis, being, a chain, has good service from the front desk. I did not test it, but everyone says it is GF. I can't imagine it not being so, given where it is located.
It is also relatively close to the Makkasan station, Airport Express train. It was my first time riding it, since the last time I was here was 2008. I LOVE that express train! It will save you much time and aggravation.
I will be stopping by BKK again in six months. Despite my happiness with Ibis, I will probably stay a little further down the road on Sumk next time, near Soi Cowboy. The Nana area just has this kind of gross, stinky vibe to it. It's not the smell of sewage. Its a mix of exhaust smoke, and I think, those insects that they like to fry up as snacks (Yuck). Even if the Ibis was clean, the Nana area has a grime to it. I like Soi Cowboy much better. I remember walking to to Soi Cowboy, thinking that BKK was gross and I was never coming back. Then I walked into Baccara and couldn't believe my eyes. The hottest collection of Asian women that I had seen in a long time, maybe ever. Pattaya has more women, but the percentage of hot women I think is higher at Soi Cowboy.
Can anyone recommend a hotel, hopefully with the same price range and quality, a little further down the road near Soi Cowboy??
You remind me of someone else who posted on here. Just question after question.
The Ibis Hotel is near Makkasan station? Ok, whatever you say.
You don't like the grittiness of Nana and you think it is gross? Are you a some young punk metrosexual? Those little cooked bugs bother you?
Pattaya has more women, but there are hotter women on one block being Soi Cowboy? How do you know? You know you have never been to Pattaya.
Baccara has the hottest women in all Asia? HAHAHA. Where else in Asia you been?
Why don't you actually make a report of something you do. If you can.
?

Certainly enough to have figured out guys like you a mile away. You guys puffing your chest just makes me laugh. Pathetic. Go back to trolling the malls and pharmacies at the night markets. Luvpuss? Give me a break. Loser.

I think I will stay there, because in Center of everything.Ask for a refurbished room.
Also, The food is ridiculously over priced and my experience, not that good.
Walk across the street to Gulliver's or around the corner to Monsoon for a much better meal.
Personally, I think better hotel options in the area.

Why? I think the bed was very uncomfortable, very hard and the pillow was not good. I didn't sleep well. Also because of the noise from other rooms and from the corridor. The walls must be very thin or they don't block noise at all for some reason. I could here people talking in the next room. Not good. Also the internet was not free, had to pay a steep price.
So many better options around.
If you like Cowboy there are many hotels there on that soi 23 for example. Admiral Premier or Citadines. Or in soi 18 Park Plaza.
I am planning to go to BKK for few days. Which hotel is better to stay?
I am sure May is hot month but is it too hot to walk during morning or night?
Thanks

ThanksDude, it is always hot. Never too hot though if searching for pussy.
Both those hotels are nice. The PP is closer to NEP which I prefer, but either hotel is good I think.

Woraburi is good value. Offers free tuktuk every 30 mins to nana plaza.
Good way to keep your nut sack dry and not smelling like sour eggs.
Saved me the hassle of scrubbing up my balls when I brought a girl home.

Regarding the Ibis, yes the bed was firmer than at most hotels, but it was firm because the mattress was the firm type of mattress, not because it was thin or cheap. I always buy firmer mattresses for my home, so I liked that. In terms of the thin walls, I guess I got lucky that no one was next to me. Funny though, during my stay, they gave me a 5 day free pass for wi fi in the room. It was really slow though, only 1 Mbps, not much faster than dial up. It was pretty much good enough only for checking email. Luckily, my stay was short, so this wasn't an issue for me.

Or in soi 18 Park Plaza.I've not stayed at the Ibis on Soi 4, but I have stayed at a couple of others. The thing I don't like about the rooms is their size. They are the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in. Even that is not too terrible, but I couldn't stand their small bathrooms. I felt like I was showering in an RV.
It's funny. For a purchase, I care a great deal about the bed, but for hotels in Thailand I don't notice them as much. Firmer beds are better to fuck on in my opinion. However, I sleep on them more than I fuck on them, so a softer bed would be nice. In the end, it doesn't really factor into whether I would stay there again. I was going to book Ibis because of it's price, but then decided against it once I remembered how small the bathroom was.

I haven't been in Bangkok since 2009, but at that time the Royal Ivory Hotel (about 100 meters farther down Soi 4 from Ibis) was excellent and has quite large rooms with good size bath. It's usually about US$42 / night incl good western-style breakfast (on agoradotcom.) The service was friendly and they also have a free tuktuk to take you to Sukumvit (and girl friendly.) They also have a pool but I did not see it. I plan to stay there again on my return to Bangkok in mid-May.
Just got off the phone with them.
No joiners fee.
I am a member and they sent me a special so I am booking this for June trip.
Brand new and it looks super nice.

I usually stay at The Coloumn for around USD 90.
Could you tell me what you will pay for it.

RgrdsI am a Holiday INN rewards member. They sent me an offer. It is $80 a night including taxes and free internet. No breakfast.
The regular rate on their site is over $100.
There is another new place across the street called The Continent. GF, very nice / upscale also and 5 min. Walk to Soi Cowboy. If you go on their site you can get it for around $90.
Thank you for the reply.
80 $ is a very good price.
I will consider The Continent as well but 62sq meter studio at 30+ floor for under 100$ is hard to be beaten for me.

I think I will stay there, because in Center of everything.I stay at the Landmark for a few weeks about every couple months. I've been following that routine for more than a year now. I like it but I understand only the top several floors are the good ones. I heard the lower floors are kind of worn. I'll be back in a top floor corner room next week.
It is not real expensive but considered in the upper end of pricing in Bangkok.
I used to stay at the JW Marriott but left as it turned more and more to a Middle East Hotel.
I used to stay at the JW Marriott but left as it turned more and more to a Middle East Hotel.The whole area is. I would not mind as I think reciprocal respect is polite, but reciprocal is not always translated into arab language. Maybe it is a lost in translation issue and sometime next door guests here mantain the habits they have back home, where their mansions assure them they do not bother their neighbour.
Another treno and this comes from the hotel management, is that to please their well paying customers, they tend to adjust the hotel standard to their standards. Sometime it is good ("rich and attentive service") , sometime it is not (ignoring their habit to ignore their rights end where my rights start) , something not necessarily exclusive to the Arab culture, it has to be said.

If you like Cowboy there are many hotels there on that soi 23 for example. Admiral Premier or Citadines. Or in soi 18 Park Plaza.I've stayed at the Admiral Premier before and I loved it! It's in a great location where you can walk to Soi Cowboy or the sky train station. At the sky train station, there's a pretty good food court and Siem Paragon isn't that far away either. In fact, Nana Plaza isn't that far away either. With tons of am mature massage places near by, I consider this location a godsend. This hotel also has a pool on the roof.
Also, the rooms are actually amazing! This hotel really has the look and feel of a 5 star hotel. The only downside to this hotel is the breakfast buffet, which I thought sucked and the internet. I think they blocked ISG and so I couldn't get access to upload reports.

Why not stop faffing around and go stay at Livingstone on Soi 33. It is designed to suit the roving eye of man and even has its own in-house supply.
Of hostesses (albeit with high bar fines). There are MPs along the Soi, bars a-plenty although faded for their best, and only a short walk to Soi Cowboy.
I have stayed there three or four times over the last six years and have found other places not just as good.

Has anyone stayed at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok?
It appears its not too far from Nana etc on the skytrain line.
Is it a sex-worker friendly hotel?

I am RTFF to choose my hotel for next week or maybe a little later and I'm surprised to find a few of the highly recommended places here have almost zero availability. Adelphi Suites, Jasmine Executive Suites, too rich for me anyway, but sure is popular. Right now it looks like either Dynasty Grande or President Palace. Also thanks to LuvPuss and his remark some pages back that you get a better deal on President Palace's own website. It's true.
Anyway, wow, lotsa people in town at the end of "high season".
BTW John Galt if you search the forum you'll find much info about your question.

IamJohnGaltHyatt Erewan has a "famous" club in their lower floors and it is packed with freelancegirls. The place is called Spasso. Just to give you a hint. In general all hotels in touristy areas will be GF. To hit a GF unfriendly hotel I bet you have to go quite far from the normal touristtrack areas. And even better if you book your room for 2 persons you can for sure bring one "guest". If you look for threesome maby you will have to pay a few bahts extra but where I have stayed no problem. Even the Kempinski Hotel (not far away) and by far more high class than Hyatt is GF so even if I have not stayed at your exact Hyatt (just been to Spasso numerous times) I would bet quite a lot of bucks Hyatt has the same policy as other more lux hotel have an easy girl policy.
Some RTFF should give you all the corect answers as well. Good luck!

Or in soi 18 Park Plaza.[/QUOTE]I have stayed at the Citadines and can vouch that it girl friendly and within the same budget ranget as Admiral Premier or Park Plaza. The only adverse comment is that the room there is small with not much room or space for one to move about although the bed (twin) occupies most of it.
