View Full Version : 2006 Bangkok Hotels
I have just got back from a week in LOS where I spent a couple of nights at the Majestic Grande. Only a couple of complaints.The first they only had a twin room available and I had pre-arranged meeting with two girls , which I wanted to video and there dosen't seem be any sercurity present as the girls were able to come straight up to my room, without any warning from reception. This was after I had left the room and the girls called me to say they were at the hotel. Later I picked up another coulpe of girls and there wasn't any checks made or IDs left with reception(Luckily I knew one of the girls fairly well) and we all just walk straight in and went to the lifts. Is this the norm, as I am about to book again for July.Contacted Majestic grande and asked they consider card readers at the elevator same as rooms to insure privacy when in room. I noticed during christmas last year that they were pretty lax about getting card from friends entreing and going stright up to room, And it was my suggestion then and has again peaked my interest.
Thanks for reminding me of this. We need to let them know and Im sure they will step up and do the right thing. Brothers run the Grande and suites on soi 4.

booking:
booked a deluxe room for 2 including breakfast and all taxes for thb 4600 per night via the internet. i couldn't find a lower rate and the hotel asked for more when i checked their website and inquired by phone.
arrival:
no problem with taxi from airport; because there was almost no traffic, the driver did not take the toll-way. hotel has to be approached from the back as a u-turn on sukhumvit takes too long.
check-in:
friendly staff, quick check-in. they had even prepared 2 room keys and were surprised that i came alone. was told that there were not many guests so i was upgraded to a so-called corner room. luggage delivered to room after about 10 minutes.
room:
offering a view of the conrad & co. skyline and some office building on the other side. room has a large bed which i rate as ok. there is a desk with internet connection; i was told wireless for free or cable broadband for 650 thb per 24 hours. tv is small and of poor quality. furthermore, there is a sofa, a separate chair, cloth hanger outside, safety box, large minibar and a "snacks drawer", marble bathroom with bath tub and separate shower cubicle (two shower heads, one fixed), ample of bathroom amenities. lights, air con etc. can be set via a control panel next to the bed. the aircon was working fine and it was not blowing over the bed. overall, the room did show some signs of wear but it was acceptable.
breakfast:
had breakfast in the greenery house. hot food offered: western sausage & co. as well as like 4 thai style dishes. also available were fruits, cereals, western bread, juices, all in all what one would expect. quality: ok.
business center / club lounge:
business center staff was speedy and helpful. the club lounge is nothing special when compared to other hotels and definitely not worth any upgrade.
services:
room service was quick, food presentation ok, food quality ok. cleaning service ok, they also do turn-down service and they provided additional towels when asking. they don't have an own spa; normal in-room massage costs thb 1000 per hour.
pool:
nothing to talk about if one has stayed before at places like the emporium. the pool area was packed with family tourists.
gym:
haven't been there (lazy ass, i know).
restaurants:
there seem to be many but i haven't tried them.
location:
about 2 minutes to bts nana station. taxis are available all the time in front of the hotel. about 3 minutes to nana and related facilities that i won't comment on here. noise level: normal.
girlfriendliness:
i have not brought back a girl but i ordered a massage girl (see soapie report). apparently, nobody asked anything as she showed up in my room - this might be a good or bad sign. i guess as long as one has booked a double room, no problem. just be aware: if you come through the front door, i met the following people: guy handling the taxis, 2 ladies opening the door, one lady supervising the two ladies who open the door, reception in the back, some sort of duty manager in front of the elevator, a guy operating the elevator.
special hints:
the pay-per-view movies can be turned off. the room had a huge minibar and a drawer full of snacks and whiskey. the prices are very high so if you bring back some strangers, i'd suggest to have those emptied to prevent any surprise and instead go to 7-11 or whatever place to buy own stock.
overall rating:
(+)
the staff was friendly. the bathroom had separate shower cubicle and bath tub which is not standard in many places; a shower cubicle is handy in thailand as i tend to shower like 3-4 times a day at least. 4 or 5 elevators that ensure quick moving; something which is also not common even in high-end places. the location is certainly a plus if you hang around nana, and because of the close-by bts station.
(-)
in my opinion, a four star hotel, ok but nothing special. there is an obvious gap when you compare it to places like conrad, sheraton or banyan tree.
this stay convinced me that it's always best in terms of price/quality to stay at a serviced apartment, such as emporium suites, somerset, or marriott mayfair which are all in pretty good locations. for the same price as landmark, one can get a premium 60+ sqm apartment with 2 tvs, dvd player, stereo, kitchen, full-size fridge, washing machine / dryer and other amenities.

I am pretty sure both hotels are owned by Indians (Sikhs from India).

[QUOTE=Crypton]Did you book for two people or one person? In Majestic Suites I always book double superior and no hassle re guests.
Would I need to book a double in order to bring a girl to Majestic Suite because I had just booked a superior single room.
I've searched, but there does not seem to be any reports on the Sofitel Silom. Does anyone know if they are GF, charge joiners fees etc. etc. Many thanks for any help on this.FF
I stayed at the Sofitel Silom last year. Great hotel etc. I booked a double and was there all the time with my long-standing Thai GF. She is not a bar-girl, and hotel staff have a keen eye for spotting those from the general population.
I guess the hotel is girl-friendly, as nearly every hotel in town. It is within walking distance from Patpong too.
A budget alternative is the Tower Inn, just across the street. And they are girl-friendly to a fault. You could march in a troop of bargirls into your room and the doorman would hold the door jsut the same.

I always book a double superior - something I learned from another board. You better check with the hotel to make sure. I never really asked. Either way you pay - either per guest or per night for the room.
Actually, you don't have to book a double at Majestic Suites. My friends used to book a double room but only difference is you get two breakfasts instead of one. Now they only book a single and no problems bringing in one or two girls in the room.
Stayed at this hotel for a couple of night. Really new and high quality. Rate of 2900++ includes great breakfast buffet. Gym room, spa, restaurants all great. Minuses: Internet in room is 550 extra, and rooms are very small. Will go to Conrad in a week instead, but on a budget this will do just fine.

Why not use the same hotel that the Eden Club uses as a ST hotel. It's right next door and run by a friend of Marc's. I can't think of the name but it's the one with the cigar store. Perhaps one of the other members can provide the name.

If I am not mistaken, the hotel is "World Inn".

Solite,
Livingstone's is not too close to Eden. There are other places much closer, Landmark, Majestic Suites, Grand President etc. .
From here you have always to take a taxi or the skytrain, 2 stations. 20 min. to walk.

Thanks for the help guys. Had to miss Eden Club last visit. I couldn't get hotel set up. I didn't want to miss it this trip.

Curious what all of you think of this post on the JW Marriott by 1Ball. He knows his way around, but his experience is totally different from mine, and I've been there roughly 30 nights in the last year. http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=455725&postcount=879
Anyone else found the JW to be girl unfriendly, in the middle of nowhere, smell, etc.? Personally, I get a kick out of the fact that I can be sitting in a suite, overlooking the action at Nana Plaza, but maybe I've been lucky.

Star Inn ST Hotel is next to Eden. 500 for two hours/700 three hours. Nice ceiling/wall mirrors. I posted some pics from there - will give you some idea of the rooms (see last few pages of 2005 photos).

Very Funny - as i sit in my room in the JW Mariott after packing off my take-away from last night, which i obtained from my the across-the-road supply depot - i find this post perfect for those new timers who need good solid advise.
On a serious note, JW Mariott is one of the better hotels - i typically don't stay there because i am a mega member at shangri-la and grand hyatt, but putting aside membership issues, its a good location.
Basically JWM is THE best hotel within walking distance of NEP.
First-timers shouldn't consider anywhere else in the Nana zone.
Anyone stay at the MArriott resort on the river.
I assume its just a little out of the way. i.e 150bht to NEP??
I have heard its girl friendly but have looked in the fourm and cant find a post to back the statement.
I think the MArriott Resort would be a great change of pace and it might be nice to get out of downtown and the JW Marriott area.
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?You might want to try Livingstone's in Suhkhumvit. I just stayed there for the first time (first time in BKK) and found it better than most hotels I've stayed in. It has a more casual, friendly feeling.
It is farther from NEP; however, easy to get to most places using the Sky train. The Phrom Phong station is about a block away, Nana is about two stops down. It took less than 10 minutes, and I think it cost 20baht. Taxi might be faster without traffic, cost varied from 50-100baht.
See the attached Sky train map. Hope you have a good stay!
Here's a link to a good map of the Sukhumvit Area with many hotels marked on it. The site has other maps of the city for a complete set.

The thaiwaysmagazine.com website also contains good maps of Pattaya, Phuket, Samui and Chang Mai. I use them to scout locations of hotels I am interseted in staying at.

I spoke with the Thaiways people about it. They said you weren't giving ISG forum members enough of a discount, so they left Livingstones off their map. Also, there was mention of the guests not getting morning bjs from the cleaning staff and this could not be tolerated! :=)

NoCBJ4me,
I am not sure whether you really want that service from our cleaning staff...I recommend to have a look at them first. At least one of them reminds me on Dracula's mother.
Referring to your handle I must furthermore insist that this service will be done the "covered" way :).

Hi guys, need your help again. Will be coming to Bangkok on May 23rd and thanks to all the help from guys on the forum we decided to book at Majestic Suite however it seems that they are all booked up. Is there another hotel in the same price range that you guys would recommend? Would like to have an in-room safe please. Thanks
Csun - try the Grand Dynasty on Soi 6.
(NOT the Soi 4 Dynasty!)
Hi, just want to what you guys think about the Manhattan Hotel in Bangkok. My friends who I am traveling with found this hotel on the internet and says it has nice room (from picture) and in room save which is important to one of my friend and it only costs about 1100. If it is good, do we need to book a double room to bring the girls up for short time? Thanks for any help.

You're getting soft CB. This guy's last 30 posts are "how to get to this place", what's the difference btwn these rooms, yada yada yada. I just goggled 'grande dynasty inn' and got the same site you posted.

I just don't understand people who will spend the time to flame someone instead of spending the same amount of time helping new members.
Just for your information, I have spend most of this morning using the search function to find information before I asked. I just know that there will always be people who do not help but would like to just flame for the fun. If you don't feel that you want to help then just don't read and go on.
To coma boy, Really appreciate members like you who does take the time out to help someone like us who will be lost otherwise. I did find the dynasty inn Grande on the site before I asked you the question however I did not know that Dynasty inn Grande and Grande Dynasty inn are the same hotel. I found it by using a search and one member had posted good things about it which was why we have orginally thought about staying at the Dynasty inn Grande since it is new and also because we are going to stay at Dynasty inn Pattaya. Thanks again for your help.

WTF did you do all morning, jerk off with the keyboard.....tell me it's for your friend who's never been to Asia?
But you're right re one thing, I should just stop reading your posts....so you're now on my ignore list :)

But they will still hassle your *girl* to leave her ID at the front desk. Super close to Thermae, in fact you can get in thru the back way.
Once again,
Anyone stay at the Marriott on the river?
I am thinking about somewhere other than the JW.

Csun213,
Figure out your maximum budget for a hotel room, then try asiarooms.com. They list has the star ratings and prices. IMHO, 1100 baht isn't going to get you a very good room in BKK, however, I am used to going to BKK in high season and you will be there in low season.
Once you find a hotel room in your price range, use the forum search function to find out about the hotel and if the hotel is GF. if nothing comes up, then post your question. Don't forget when you ask about hotels here, tell us your budget. You can also email the hotel and ask directly if you will be charged a joiner fee if you bring in a girl. Most of the hotel websites list if there is an "in room safe". Nana hotel is around 1100 baht, but the free safety box is at the front desk.

Thanks for the information.
nocbj4me, we have already decided on Majestic suite which had everything we wanted and was confirmed by all the members that it is a good hotel, then when we tried to book, it was unavailable so we were stuck to look for informations again. The problem is that there are 4 of us traveling and one of the guys has to have a safe in his room. Then another guy wants to stay at a low rate hotel 1100-1500 which makes everything very hard.
I have asked the hotels themselves but they were not very helpful with the in room safe because the answer have been some room have safe and other room does not. Anyway thanks guys for your time and information. Will keep searching and e-mail the hotel themselves. Hoping we can talk the other guy into spending 1890 for Dynasty Inn Grande which is new and has everything we want. thanks again for your time and help. I really appreciate it.
The problem is that one of the guys has to have a safe in his room. Then another guy wants to stay at a low rate hotel 1100-1500.Tell safe-guy to stop being such a pussy. Tell miser-guy to stop being such a cheap-bastard, an extra 400 Baht won't kill him.
Your friends are creeps and losers, you should kill them.

It is tough to travel with new guys to new areas (I am one of them). Safe guy has never been out of the country and is worried that someone will steal all his money. Cheap guy normally goes with me to China where everything is pretty cheap. We usually pay about $US 25 for a 4 star hotel and he is just not used to paying more. Since I have not been to Thailand for the past 10 years so I am just as lost as everyone. Tryng to get everyone to agree on anything is very difficult. Having a big problem with getting from Macau to Bangkok now because I am trying to get them to stay in either Macau or Zhu Hai the night before our flight from Macau to Bangkok so we don't have to get up so early but 2 of the guys want to spend more time in Shenzhen. Hard to get a bunch of new guys to travel together. Hope everything will be better once we arrive in Bangkok because I do know my way around in China but not in Bangkok. Thank for all your help. This board has been very helpful. I will post our trip in Bangkok and Pattaya when I return.
I sometimes have thought about dragging a couple of friends with me on my trips, but have never done so. I have always had a nagging feeling it might be more trouble than it is worth.
Now I know I have made the right decision.
Csun, if you are the one making all the plans, my suggestion is to tell them what the plan is, and if someone drops out, coz they are worried they will get their money stolen, so be it. You will probably need to hold this guy's hand while he is getting a BJ. Who needs cry babies ? A safe in the room is good if you have a laptop, but is not needed if we are only talking about money and passport, the reception safe works well.
You are also looking for 4 star amenities, at the price of a flea bag hotel. Bangkok has inexpensive hotels, but I guess not as inexpensive as Macau. Be glad your plans do not include London or Tokyo.
Bottom line is, if you are making all the plans, pick what works for you, and watch your friends drop like flies. Don't worry about it, you will find plenty of guys in just about any bar in Thailand who will be more than happy to let you buy them a drink.
Your other option would be for you to fly to BKK when YOU want, stay in a hotel of YOUR chpice, have your freinds make their own travel arrangements, and have them meet you there after their time in Zhu Hai.
JMHO.
.....we have already decided on Majestic suite which had everything we wanted and was confirmed by all the members that it is a good hotel, then when we tried to book, it was unavailable......
I agree with 1Ball regarding traveling with a group, it's too hard to make everyone happy and everyone has their own wants, needs, and budget limitations.
Have you tried to book directly with Majestic Suites? I have found that internet booking agencies and local travel agencies will tell you there are no rooms available at the desired hotel, but the hotel actually had rooms available. Granted, I found this out by actually going to the front desk and asking, but you may have luck via email. It may cost a bit more, but at least you would get to stay where you you want.
Do you all really have to stay at the same hotel? Since there are lots of hotels in close proximity to NEP, let your friends get rooms at a nearby hotels and stay where you want. It may be that you are having trouble booking because you want 4 rooms in the same hotel. You do want 4 rooms, right? Please tell me that you don't intend to share a room with 3 other mongerers, do you?

Csun: In case you are unaware Air Asia flies non-stop from Macau to BKK for about US$40 to US$70. I've never flown them and I know they are a budget airline ala Southwest with open seating.
I'm going to Macau then BKK also. I sent you a private message.
Airline just put me up at the Emerald Hotel - Rachadapisek, Din Daeng
I wonder if someone can tell me of some "pickup" places nearby or some fish bowl" massage. Or is my best bet to make my way to NEP and places near the Bier Garden - some help would be appreciated.

Fast Eddie, thanks for the super "fast" reply - really appreciate it. I just spent five wonderful days enjoying the freelancers out of the Beach Club in KL - this stop in BKK was totally unplanned.
If you have little time and had a choice, which of Hi Class, Ceasar, or Poseidon would you pick. I am looking for clean place that provided "total satisfaction" - right now I would say that I am not looking to save money just to have beautiful girls to take care of me. When is the best time to hit these places??
Thanks and stay safe - firebird

Thanks
Firebird,
Mirage and Emmanuelle are within a block from Emerald. Nataree has the best selection early on starting from 1pm. There are two Nataree's. Take the entrance further away from Emerald. Selection of girls at other MP's don't get better until after 5pm. There is also Colonze 2 about four blocks away. I have always had good service there. Have fun!
I agree with 1ball regarding traveling with a group, it's too hard to make everyone happy and everyone has their own wants, needs, and budget limitations.
Have you tried to book directly with Majestic Suites? I have found that internet booking agencies and local travel agencies will tell you there are no rooms available at the desired hotel, but the hotel actually had rooms available. Granted, I found this out by actually going to the front desk and asking, but you may have luck via email. It may cost a bit more, but at least you would get to stay where you you want.
Do you all really have to stay at the same hotel? Since there are lots of hotels in close proximity to NEP, let your friends get rooms at a nearby hotels and stay where you want. It may be that you are having trouble booking because you want 4 rooms in the same hotel. You do want 4 rooms, right? Please tell me that you don't intend to share a room with 3 other mongerers, do you?

We are getting 4 rooms and maybe that is why it is not available. Only one of the guys is a new guy (want a safe), it is the first time he has ever left the U.S. so I want to go the extra mile to make sure his trip is a good one. Have been friends with him since child hood. The other 2 are experienced traveler just not in Thailand therefore probably spoiled by cheap hotel rooms in China.
I have e-mail directly to Majestic Suite and is waiting for a reply back. Hope they will have room. Have also e-mailed Dynasty Inn Grande and have not heard back from them either but hopefully someone will have 4 rooms. One of the guys found some information on Manhattan Hotel but did not find much information on them during a search but they do have 4 rooms.
To JimBehr2000, we are going from Macau to Bangkok on Air Asia.
fast eddie, thanks for the super "fast" reply - really appreciate it. i just spent five wonderful days enjoying the freelancers out of the beach club in kl - this stop in bkk was totally unplanned.
if you have little time and had a choice, which of hi class, ceasar, or poseidon would you pick. i am looking for clean place that provided "total satisfaction" - right now i would say that i am not looking to save money just to have beautiful girls to take care of me. when is the best time to hit these places??
thanks and stay safe - firebird
firebird,
isn't it about 0500 am there? the soi cowboy and nep bars are closed now and probably the mp's too. i've never stayed out that late at an mp. i do know that small food stands along sukhumvit always have girls hanging around eating and grabbing you as you walk by. you could call one those expensive escort agencies and order take out or you could crash until noon and go to eden club or [CodeWord900] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900) which are on sois off sukhumvit. eden opens at 12:30 pm and [CodeWord900] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900) at 11 am. i'm not sure when mp's open either. do a search in the forum under "daytime action" and see what comes up.
you'll find it some! i know, i did it in amsterdam. i had a 7 hour layover at the airport starting at about 0700 and i still managed to get laid twice(2 cute girls)and get back for my flight at 1:30 pm.
good luck!

yup - it is 5:00 and still up - i figured i can sleep on tonight's flight to uk and then on the next to usa. no time to sleep when you have to plan.

Hey,
I stayed in Bangkok last summer and when I found Majestic booked, I opted for the Grand President, serviced apartments. Same as a hotel for the most part. It's large and most likely has the rooms. I think I paid around 1500 Baht and it did have a safe, although I didn't use it. It's on soi 11, a short walk to Nana or the sky train. Do a search on it, it was fine by me although I wouldn't necessarily describe it as grand. They may even have 2 bedroom suites, not sure though. Hope that may help. Have a good time.

I don't know anything about service apartments. Isn't an Apartment a long term deal? What is the least amount of time you can stay there? Thanks

04-24-06, 03:12
Just think of it as a hotel under a different name. These are furnished apartments that you can rent by the day, week or month. The longer you stay, the less you spend per night. I stayed for 4 days. No real difference from any hotel, there's a front desk, restaurant, a gym and a pool, but I didn't use it. Also has a small kitchen that I didn't use much but could come in handy. The maid service and other hotel comforts are as usual. The Grand President has over 200 rooms, not sure how many, but it's a big place. Don't be turned off to the "serviced apartment" categorization though, it's really the same as any hotel, perhaps just more options, kitchen, length of stay,etc. Also, being that there are 4 of you, you may be able to negotiate a better price, or see if there are any multi bedroom suites available. Have a good time.
Csun213,
I recommend NOT to book the Manhattan hotel, very old, run down rooms, and next to the hotel there is a giant construction area in the moment.

Can someone confirm that the Emerald Hotel is "girl friendly".Emerald is 100% GF. In that area are a lot of Asian travellers who wouldn't put up with joiner-fee bullshit.
Actually, Emerald is not girl friendly. They charge a 600 baht joiner fee. That's why we stay over at Palazzo across the street even though the Emerald hotel is much nicer. They changed their policy a couple of years ago. They went as far as calling my friend in his room to pay the joiner fee even though he initially made it through security. At the Palazzo, they don't even take the girl's ID. Both hotels have the same owner but he wanted to make the Emerald more family and business friendly. That's why you see tons of girls coming and going at Palazzo and very few at Emerald.
The buffet there is excellent though. It is in Daichi restaurant for 500 baht.
I stayed there several times, last visit was 7 years ago and it was already grotty then. I complained that my room was not up to my expectations and that I was a repeat customer, and they gave me this very large corner room, more of a junior suite in fact, with a sitting area and a huge bathroom. For 1500 Baht++, that was good value, but I would not stay there anymore.
My preferred hotels in the Suk area are:
Budget: Regency Park, Soi 22
Upper: Novotel Soi 33
Top: JW Marriott (booked with Priceline.com only)
Then of course there is Livingstone's :)
Seydlitz,
check it out first, we try our best, but Livingstone's is different from those large hotels you stayed in before. May be you don't like it... :)
Regency Park is in Soi 22, as I know.
I also stayed in JW Marriotts, before I moved to Bangkok, and that hotel is the best selection for those who want to be close to the Nana, Soi 5 / Soi 7/1, Soi 8 action. Just a bit expensive now, if you not travel on business.
Giotto

Giotto,
What is there not to like about Livingstone's ? It sounds like excellent value for money. And the owner is on the premises in case that an issue arises. Always a plus in my book.
To be honest, I am not too fond of the "in your face" African theme that I saw on the photos you posted, but at least, this hotel has a strong personality.
I will certainly give it a try next time. And if it is anything short of what it should be, you will be the first person to know!
Seydlitz,
many thanks for your trust, and your nice words.
But it is a different thing to arrange a setup for a 200 room hotel or for a 18 room boutique place. You can hire much more staff then. Here are so many things going wrong every day...I sometimes wonder that we don't have more complaints.
Yes, I would like many of you guys coming here, to develop a kind of returning community of Livingstone's guests, whome we know with their names, their preferences, their favorite dishes etc. etc. . That's what the "boutique" is all about. And may be when you come back you meet already somebody you stayed with here before...that would be perfect!
I had already good times here with ISG members, talking about their experices, giving the advices I can give, exchanging information about places where we have been, then even come to higher levels of discussions (when the red wine in the blood reaches certain levels ) about politics, economy and German beer (which is very important!).
And then surprisingly nobody complaints that suddenly our satellite system is down, only one single TV channel available, and the technicians from the satellite company cannot come because of Songkran... But this is the way it is.
BTW: Now we have 11 channels up and running again, not that bad compared to one week ago.
I enjoy Livingstone's a lot in the moment.
Giotto
I tried to RTFF but could not find any and decided to take a chance and made a reservation.
I am happy to report that the Intercontinnetal Hotel is girl Freindly. Only a short walk shame. 20 yards from the front to the elavator, nobody bothers you.
Why have we not heard anything about the City Lodge on Soi 9. It's probably the most convienient in the area. Close to everything. Clean, safe and not so expensive.

Fast Eddie, thanks for feedback - I just wrote a FR in the MASSAGE section. I had a power packed 12 hours in BKK and I DID find a very satisfying "spinner" in Nataree. You are right, with all the MP's near the Emerald, there is no need for "room service". Stay Safe.

Traveler,
Here's a few pics for your review. You can also look it up on line. They have everything you would expect. Wall safe, nice accomodations, breakfast included and GF. The resturant there, Pasta Noodle, is also a nice place. If you have a normal looking lady and they know you, you can walk right in without carding her. "Diamond Dogs" have to leave their cards at the desk. It's best to book on line, rates 35$ to 40$. Off the street 65$+. Stay 3 days for 47$ per night. To me, it is the best value and most convenient. Next best is Piper's old stand by, The Star Inn. But by far the classiest for the bhat is Livingstons. I will be there next time.

Upper: Novotel Soi 33
Top: JW Marriott (booked with Priceline.com only)
Then of course there is Livingstone's :)I work as an executive in the Hotel Business (5star) and can definitely tell you that Novotel soi 33 hardly qualifies as even a 4 star. The service and amenities are even closer to a 3 star.
If you want a nice 5 star in the area, I would suggest the Davis on soi 24. I stayed there when I first came to Thailand and their service is TipTop. I don't like their small TV though. But it's still a Great hotel. JW Marriott is also a very good Choice but quite dangerous if you book via Priceline.
If you want to book via Priceline, go to this site : http://www.biddingfortravel.com/ and you'll become a master at using Priceline ;)
Imperial Queens Park -Sukhumvit, Soi 22
Great hotel, 2 pools and 7 restaurants. If you need a babysitter to 'get away' for a while, they have very professional service available.
Nice excersize room.
Get a Deluxe room for a few dollars more, better value.
Good breakfast buffet incl.
B5,950 at desk -or B3,300 online booking.
Close to Soi Cowboy.

I just said "upper". No number of stars mentioned. I think you are a bit harsh on the Novotel, though.
JW Marriott is also a very good Choice but quite dangerous if you book via Priceline.
Why dangerous? I systematically get a room for 80USD++. Reasonable value, I'd say.
What is the problem with novotel lotus?
I also work in the hospitality business and particularly for Accor.
The novotel lotus is a standard novotel, it is a 4 star hotel (at least for the thai hospitality legislation).
That being said, Thaïland does not have an official and exhaustive star ranking system.
Anyway
Nothing special except that it is definatly non guest friendly.
(As most of the accor hotels in BKK, though not all)

I checked into the new Dynasty Inn Grande on Soi 6. I am incredibly impressed by all aspects of this hotel. The rooms are spotless, large and have a proper writing desk with leather chair, a leather sofa and a nice ‘window lounging’ area. The bed is huge and wonderfully comfortable. The room is also fully (& fiercely) air conditioned, has in room electronic safe and cable (which works). The bathroom is large with a proper tub and a walk in shower unit. The pool, lobby and restaurant (and rooms) are all what you would expect in an upmarket 4*. It is superbly located for all the action, and the answer to the inevitable question is – YES of course it’s GF ! The rooms are 2250Bht / night, but at the moment they’re on offer at 1850bht/night.
So everything’s great except that when I tried to charge my laptop today I blew the room fuse and had no power until the engineer turned up (not the first time I’ve had no power in Bangers !).
Dynasty Inn Grande sounds good Kens14. I can't find it listed in my usual online booking agencies though. I've read that it fills up. Where do you logon to book ahead.

In reply to a few below:
yes they do have in room electronic safe (which can also be operated using a credit card swipe - which I think is bizarre, 'cos isn't your credit card that you keep IN the safe ?), anyway, the safe is big enough to hold my laptop plus all the usuals.
They do fill up quickly, I booked by emailing them directly through the website:
http://www.dynastyinn.com/index.htm
it really is a superb place & is full of 'our type of people' with their friends, but in a slightly quieter location & more upmarket rooms.
it's all good !

I like the location of the MG, hit Annies on the way back from the NEP, but you can see where I'm headed to/coming from- from the place. A little TOO close for the way I have to do things.

I never have luck making 'down price' with the front desk.
I like saving 45% on upscale rooms from the online agencies. If the check-in counter tells me some stupid price I just love coming back a couple days later with a voucher for half the price, and for an upgraded room.
I'm a nice asshole maybe.

Dynasty is a good hotel. That was not a bad recommendation from Crypton, for people who don't like to stay in smaller boutique hotels ( :) ). And it is very close to Soi Nana.
Livingstone's Lodge is in Soi 33, if somebody needs more infos please check here:

But you are mixing something up, Livingstone's is the hotel with the free room safes and carrots on the buffet, I don't know which hotel had free TGs in the rooms, but I can try to find out :) . I think you are talking about "Mona Lisa" of something like that.

You should ask the GM how do they tell who is who at 12 midnight? I'm sure the security guards don't know who are the corporate account guests vs those that book on-line or in travel group.....

While trying to book a hotel online for my last trip, I was given several alternatives, as my first choice was fully booked for that period. One was a contemporary, almost minimalist hotel which I think was around the Soi 33 area. I think it was an alternate to the Grand President, but as I had several of these e-mails I cannot be sure. Can anyone who may have stayed at this hotel help me with the name?

I have nothing against Livingstone's. It's just too far from the action for me (even with the free TGs ;)). I prefer to be close to the low numbered sois. After 10 visits to BKK, I have a routine worked out that I like (call me an old fart set in his ways!). I know Livingstone's is close to the artist bars and Soi Cowboy, but I prefer FLs in Gullivers, Beer Garden, Nana disco and other places near there.
Cheers.

can only be peep inn. that's a short time hotel a bit down the road, left hand side. that's what i would call "minimalist". novotel lotus and livingstone's in soi 33 are on a much lower level :) .

I stayed in a Platinum Suite at the beginning of April and it was fanatistic, more space than my condo in NYC. Big comfortable bed, 42" flat-screen TV, a jacuzzi with enough space for three at least, nice sitting room and workspace area, full kitchen with a dining table for two, plenty of closet space. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for more. Good value for money at 4,700B/night for a week's stay. We ate in the restaurant several times and ordered room service on other occasions - very tasty!
It was very guest friendly. I added my TG as a registered guest without hassle the day after I checked in. When several of her friends came to visit, they were asked politely for their IDs, which the hotel security staff held until they left. My TG, in her own words, is "shy" and tends to be intimidated by the big five-star hotels on the Suk. Until we tried the PS, her favorite had been the Town Lodge at the end of ukhumvit Soi 18 because she felt so at home there, the staff was so friendly. But she didn't have any problems at the PS, even if she didn't interact much with the staff.
She particularly liked the spaciousness of the Platinum Suite and the little dining area, "Almost like married,'' she said when we ate or had coffee in the suite. The siiting area and kitchen also gave her face when entertaining her friends and that's never a bad thing. More face in front of her friends always translates into more head for me. The "normality" of the immediate neighborhood was a plus for her as well. While I was taking care of farang business during the day, she felt comfortable exploring the neighborhood on her own.
Only downside (for me) was the slightly inconvenient location at the end of Soi 11. But there's a van or tuk-tuk to take you to Robinson's or other nearby locations and getting a taxi was no problem for longer hauls. Also, I would have appreciated a shower that was separate from the jacuzzi so we wouldn't have to have clamored in and out of the rather steep jacuzzi every time we wanted a quick wash. But again, that was a minor inconvenience.
However, I'm not sure I'd choose the PS if I couldn't get a Platinum Suite. Other comparable hotels with more convenient locations are available for around 4000B/night - it's the jacuzzi and the size of the Platinum Suite that does it for me.

Evil Penivel,
Good to see you back - you don't post much on ISG, but you should. Love your reports on the other site.
Like your "friend", I don't like sterile 5-star hotels either. She said "Almost like married" (!) - be careful my friend. ;)
I'm staying at Livingstones (Giotto's), Soi 33 in a couple of weeks - sounds like fun.
I’ve been getting great advice from this forum, so thought I’d better contribute some myself.
I was in BKK for the first time (two weeks ago) on a work assignment, and needed to investigate the mix of modern art with tribal tattoos. Lucky me, my editor picked Livingstone’s Lodge on Sukhumvit 33 as my base of operations. I got to the Lodge at about 0200, and found most of the bars closed. I tried to chat up a few bar girls leaving for the night; however, got no where. One girl suggested I go to Nana Plaza, although skeptical (I read the bars were all closed) decided to check it out.
Although the bars were closed, the street was hopping with energy. Immediately after getting out of the cab, I was offered a Singha from several FL. I chose one with an interesting tattoo and made what I thought would be an odd request (I would like to photograph your tattoo). After buying a beer, she agreed to go back to my hotel (must have thought I was using some type of code talk for ST). Too make a long story short, I got my pictures, and could have gotten anything else I wanted (ha!). So if you arrive late in BKK, action can still be had at Nana.
Over the next couple of days, I found more interesting tattoos, and brought the TGs back to my hotel for the photo shoot. I actually completed my assignment ahead of time, and had a few extra days. I decided to check out the bars at my hotel, and literally found the most beautiful TGs you could imagine.
I had a great time with the TGs at Livingstone’s; unfortunately made the newbie mistake of being labeled as a butterfly (they even mentioned seeing the questionable TGs I brought back earlier in the week).
The morale of the story, if you are staying at Livingstone’s, no need to leave the property. Some of the most beautiful TGs are literally within walking distance of your room.

I'm staying at Livingstones (Giotto's), Soi 33 in a couple of weeks - sounds like fun.
Piper1,
you want that room with the huge Jacuzzi?
That one where 1Ball is doing his daily training for the olympics?

Hi All,
My Travel Agent offered me Mandarin Hotel. Can somebody tell me wether it's Girl Friendly or not?
I will be staying at Bangkok Inter House Hotel at Ramkamheng 4 during this weekend. Have to stay here because of other commitments. Tried to search around for activities around this area.
Anything good around here and how are far is to Nana Plaza?
Thanks for any info....
Hi All,
My Travel Agent offered me Mandarin Hotel. Can somebody tell me wether it's Girl Friendly or not?I had a buddy stay there last year; one day he was hassled for a joiner fee, the other not. It is not listed in BK Tonight as GF. Have you considered Livingstone's Lodge? A bit more; however, you really do get treated as a star.
Look at Giotto's thread, but don't take the jokes too seriously!

Wismar,
I would not book Mandarin. It is a 5 star hotel, but on the wrong location. The only action area nearby is Patpong...millions of tourists included.
Try to book JW Marriott, Westin or even Sheraton in the Sukhumvit area, they should provide the same room quality, but at a much better location.

Hey All,
Going to Bangkok beginning of June. I'd RTFF'ed but if allright I have one question - I was thinking I'd go with Majestic Suites, but I've read a few reports that they also have problems with bugs. Has anyone stayed there recently? How's the bug/cleanliness problem?
I don't mind the small size, but I really hate bugs. I was thinking I'd go with Majestic Suites for the budget, but maybe I should just spend the extra baht and go with JW Marriot instead?
AK,
The Majestic Suites is a good place. Stayed there many times, never saw bugs. You better book now or you won't get a reservation. It's a very popular place. If you can't get a room there, go to Livingstons. Lot's of fun. You won't regret it.

Spend the money and treat yourself. Stay at the Marriott.
Nice property and the girls seem to respect guys who stay there.
I would care to bet all things being equal. girls perform better for guys who have a little class.

Rebad,
do you really believe that any girl will "respect" you just because you stay at the Marriott ?
I doubt that, they might just expect a bigger pay-check.
Furthermore, if you believe that staying at an upgrade hotel will give you any class than your definition of class differs from mine.
Even complete assholes with no manners at all can stay there. All they need is a bit money.
Nicely said Trav. Where one stays does not maketh the man, nor earn respect. I'm a super-classy and very respectable guy, but I'm staying at Giotto's Lodge. ;)

I'm planning on staying at the new Dynasty Inn Grande at the start of June. Any updates on this hotel? I'm particularly interested if you can get wifi in the rooms and if so how much extra does it cost?
Cheers,
Rambis
Jon50,
Who are you? Have you been in Livingstone's before?
Giotto,
I came to your place a couple times for brew and such. You were not there. I had your reception show me the place and you've got a very good deal. Had I not been booked in City Lodge, I would have booked there for the famous 115. Next time I will.
See you in July.
Currently staying at the Majectic Grande has been written about extensively on this site and even their website is pretty accurate except the internet access is not free in the room. They have daily internet charge of 550B or you can sign up for hourly access 200B. 24 hour room service, excellent breakfast suberb gym with good equipment and very user (always smiling) friendly staff.
Taking someone back to the room is like walking down the red carpet though. Its quite a walk from the hotel entrance to the elevator where everyone is looking at who you picked up for the night so you have to walk like you own the place.
Definately recommend this hotel anyday. http://www.majesticgrande.com/

Thank you for the replies! I'm not worried about bugs in Majestic Suites anymore, but now I'm just debating if I'll spend the extra cash and go for JW Marriot. Giotto's Lodge looks interesting as well.
I hope to be bringing back 2 (...or more!) girls with me on some nights, so whichever hotel is the most friendly towards that I guess.

05-23-06, 11:32
Thanks Dimension. Do you have to pay for the DSL in the room?No, you dont have to pay, it is complementary. There is also complementary wi-fi, but it is in the lobby area. The hotel is worth every penny. I was staying in Majestic Suites (superior single) and couldnt endure the small aged room and moved to Dynasty Grande after one day. There is a big difference in the quality and the costs are almost same if you get an internet in Majestic (450 per day).
In case you are not aware, Grande Dynasty charges for second girl (500),
first one is free.
I stayed in BKK for one night, a couple of weeks ago. I have myself booked at the Majestic Grande. Superb hotel and excellent value for money. Very friendly stuff and very conveninet location. what I enjoyed most was that the hotel site provides very realistic pictures of the rooms. No real photoshop retouche has been made on them.
I had a grand deluxe room for 77 Euros. If you work out todays exchange it is cheaper than what they sell online. I guess the expensive Euro makes it more interesting to book from European agents.
Highly recommended hotel and well worth every penny.

Count me in as another devotee of this hotel. It's new .. just about 5-6 months old. The rooms are spacious. The bathroom clean and sparkling. Separate shower area and tub. Nice sized TV and lots of channel options. 24 hour room service with a nice selection of well done meals. It's within walking distance of the Nana EP. It's just around the corner on Soi 6. I do wish that street was a little more well lit as it does get very dark after all of the bars have closed, but that's nit picking. They also do not have an ice machine, which would be nice. They have a small selection of drinks in the icebox for a charge.
The room also has an in room safe, which I like. It also has a nice pool on the 4th floor which I did not use. There's even a couple of cuties at the front desk that I would love a visit from.
All of this for 1,800 baht! Their website was posted earlier in this thread and I got a response from them within 12 hours for reservation confirmation.
Highly recommend to all!

I saw a new hotel on the same street as the Ambassador. It looks to be about a month or two old and they are offering a 1,500 baht introductory rate. The business card has a http://www.awgroup.com web address and grandbusinessinn@awgroup.com as their e-mail address. I did not stay their, so I can't make a recommendation, but it does look like a good option.
Hopefully someone can provide first hand pros and cons of this new hotel.

I believe a lot of people have already mentioned this hotel, but I just wanted to say that this hotel is getting pretty old. The mildew smell inside the rooms are getting really bad. The best thing about this hotel that it is very girl friendly. Never had a problem ever. If your main concern is girl friendly or not, then this is the place for you. If your main concern is comfort, then maybe you should reconsider.
Gents,
I read that some of you guys were getting the JW Marriott for like $80 a night. How did you manage this? I can't book it for less than $150. Priceline or sumptin'...I'll be in BKK in three weeks. Thanks in advance. Oh, how's the Radisson compared to the JW?

Why not consider Livingston's Lodge, aka Giotto's lodge (check out the dedicated thread) on Soi 33.

That is right. go to www.priceline.com and bid in the Suk area for a 5 star hotel @ 80USD. You might get nothing at all, but if one hotel accepts it you yave a very good chance that it will be the JWM.
Keep in mind that it is 80 USD++, that is + 10 and 7 %, no breakfast. Still an excellent deal for that nice and phenomenally girl-friendly hotel.
Guys, I agree with Traveler1234 - try Giotto's (Livingstones).
Giotto's has a resort-like atmosphere, the rooms are very nice, and there are beautiful friendly girls in the sports bar and other bars, around the pool, and at the entrance. It's also within two minutes walk from many great places on Soi 33 and nearby, and a few minutes by cab to Cowboy, Nana etc. There's no joiner's fee if you prefer to bring your own girl/s from elsewhere.
He also gives a 1000 baht voucher if you stay 3 nights or more and write a report mentioning (but not necessarily based on) Livingstone's Lodge. Since my work was covering my expenses, I gave my voucher to my favorite girl from my recent trip to buy meals and drinks, since she works across the road.
As I've mentioned before, I'm not on commission, nor do I get discounts for supporting his lodge. I'm supporting Livingstone's because it's a great place to stay, he runs the place well, all the staff are friendly and efficient and Giotto looks after his customers very well. Also, the food is great at the various bars/restaurants, and there are regular cabaret shows/pool parties etc.
The only downside is that Giotto thinks he's amusing in his posts - you must excuse him for this.

It's a long way from all the action. Actually, it's on the other side of the river and I am not very familiar with that part of town as I have never had any reason to go there other than visit my monk friend at his temple.
I suspect there won't be many other farangs and you will be spending a great deal of time and energy traveling from your hotel to and from the party spots.
Try to find something closer to Sukhumvit.

livingstone's is really a great place. the security just woke me up after a guest came back at 3 pm, and nobody had given the key of his room to the security guy, and nobody was at the front desk. so - the key was in the safe, the safe was locked, and i was just sleeping a few minutes - ring, ring, ring...
now i am awake, need some time to calm down, and try to write amusing posts again.

AT2Grand Business Inn is a great hotel, I have been staying there many times.
Pros (among others):
• Friendly staff who greet you like old friends
• Competent staff present 24 hours. No problem checking out at 05:15 for the Airasia flight to Phnom Penh (try that at the Grottino)
• Restaurant with very good and reasonably priced Thai and Western cusine round the clock, no problems drinking "after hours". Great fun watching the parade from the terrace overlooking soi 11.
• Free internet in the lobby, free wifi in the rooms (ask for a room with good reception)
• Location: 100 m from the Nana Skytrain station
• Girl friendly. Their policy is: Register the girl at reception - they do it with a smile. When the girl leaves they call you if everything is okay
Cons:
• No pool
• Price were announced to go up this month to THB 2000. Still worth it, but I will take the opportunity to try Livingstones next time
• Often booked out. My mistake, I like improvise, and I was often rejected when trying to book a room 2, 3 or even 5 days in advance. The hotel has become extremely popular to people from all walks of life, many families, so they will not have any problems filling it.
Anything I may have forgotten? Just ask.

i'm now safely in hk, in a proper hotel and not some hole in los. thought i'd share some thoughts on this place i stayed at the last 5 nights and 6 days. i wrote it on the plane over:
just left los, 35,000 ft in the air, on my way to hk and thought i spend a few minutes sharing some thoughts about a small boutique hotel. rather than posting on giotto’s thread, thought hotel thread more appropriate and for wider audience. feel free to copy over to giotto’s.
1. think of giotto’s lodge like a large bed and breakfast set up. all the amenities of home, the personal care of the owner, his wife and great staff. whether you’re a newbie to los or a regular like me, there’s always something to learn from mr. g. his advice is unbiased, common sense and to the point. sure, it’s not a five star hotel, nor is there 24 hour room, i mean, food service (room service is 24/7 if you pay the barfine!) – hey, it’s bkk!
2. i found the room extremely cozy, has a safe to store valuables, wi-fi works great – so you can always stay connected to isg. i also told mr. g, loved the bed, pillows and comforter. my only negative is wish for a shower…but not a big deal. the jacuzzi made up for it.
3. i work as well as play so up fairly early every morning. i’m happy to report they do serve breakfast – standard american and great coffee. not sure what else available. always ate on the bar or next to the pool. i guess no one else staying here works…in my 5 days, never saw another guest downstairs….but passed a lot of do not disturb signs…lol
4. the sportsman bar is a fun place, and the girls are all great. fair share of hotties, etc. but all have a great attitude, look to please and straight shooters. absolutely no fear of getting ripped off. for newbies, giotto will warn you which ones not to fall in love with – a few could break your heart. i brought a newbie protégé business associate for the sat pool party, and he told me ms. t was the best he ever had (and of course there is ms. d, ms. f, the list goes on and on).
5. the pool for those who swim is great….wish it was about 5 meters longer. i did laps early morning as well as early evening. wish giotto told me 1ball had polluted it…but i wear goggles and ear plugs to minimize any infection (and take a long [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134) after i swim).
6. there are always some other board member there...always nice to have a great wingman. if not, giotto himself will be available :)
7. last reason to try giotto’s: the ‘duck’. i will admit i did not barfine her…absolutely no excuse on my part. next visit, maybe….
it might not be for you but it would your mistake not to try it out!
ok giotto, so i wrote my piece, now do i get my discount voucher?

Long Beach right next door, stone's throw from Catherine, Colonze.
If you go to LB, try # 167 or #197, i can assure you of excellent service. B$2000 for two hrs, two shots or whatever you can get more. Sidelines more, if you're into looks, try Joy, she is a stunner (B$4,500).
Better yet, book Livingston's, regular room I think is B$1800 but check with Giotto for ISG discount/promo, Soi 33. Read my review in earlier page - you really should give it a try!

Hi all,
I just wonder is The Majestic Grande a girl friendly hotel? And any hanky panky around the hotel. I stayed there about a year ago. Nice place I would rate it a 4 star hotel. Guess friendly and they check your girls id card. Most of the time LOL. . Not a lot of Europeans nor American hotel guest. Most are Arabs or Asians. .
I loved this place but for this year I think I’m going to try their sister hotel the majestic suites. The price went up a bit from a year ago.
As for action. This hotel is just one street over from Nana Plaza. Go through an adjoining side street makes the walk there even faster. .
On the side street facing the hotel is a massage parlor. Went in but didn’t try the services. A thing of note after a long night of drinking and looking for that special bar fine there is a 7/11 along your way back home for your last minute purchases of buying Fags (A. K. A. Cigarettes) and WATER bottles before you head up to your Room.
Alias,
Thank you very much. So you mean there will be some security guard waiting in front of the lift to check the girl ID card?? Do we need to sign any guarantee letter like what Novotel did? I feel so embarassing when queueing to sign the guest form in novotel. That's why i don't like Novotel.!!
I hope MG will not let me face the same problem..!! Yummy... BKK here i come...!!

MG's policy of checking the girl's ID is very liberal, meaning they will not always come over and stop the you and the girl, its more up to you to have the girl's check in. However as had been pointed out on this board before, having the hotel check the girl's ID is a benefit for you and the girl. (verifying her age, knowing who she is in case of unfortunate disagreements in the room, and overall security).
As I said before though, there is quite a walk from the front door of this hotel to the elevators and everyone along the side are watching as you walk down the walk way but not in a judgemental way, after all these people see this stuff every day, guests bringing back girls to the rooms is not an ususal experience to the staff or the girls, even if it is to you.
Alias,
Thank you very much. So you mean there will be some security guard waiting in front of the lift to check the girl ID card?? Do we need to sign any guarantee letter like what Novotel did? I feel so embarassing when queueing to sign the guest form in novotel. That's why i don't like Novotel.!!
I hope MG will not let me face the same problem..!! Yummy... BKK here i come...!!

Long Beach right next door, stone's throw from Catherine, Colonze.
If you go to LB, try # 167 or #197, i can assure you of excellent service. B$2000 for two hrs, two shots or whatever you can get more. Sidelines more, if you're into looks, try Joy, she is a stunner (B$4,500).
Better yet, book Livingston's, regular room I think is B$1800 but check with Giotto for ISG discount/promo, Soi 33. Read my review in earlier page - you really should give it a try!

I know the Radisson had a decent dinner buffet but not sure about pool.
Giotto also has pool and I did laps a couple of time but wish 5 meters longer. If you breast stroke, it is fine, if you do free style for work-out it's kinda of short. AND, no I get no kick-back from anyone. G bought me a coffee when I first checked in, a drink at 1 am my last night.....
Re the girls, I never barfined any, so can't share any first hand info. Fyi, my young protege had Taek and he said it was awesome. Read the other postings to get more information. Fon seems to be highly recommended, and Duck not so highly recommended.
Seems you're familiar with LB, etc. If you do want a more upscale sideliner, try Joy at LB. She is an absolute knock-out and GFE....the service however about a 5-6 (she really tried though).

Giotto,
she stays with you, right ?
And you still want to make us believe that she got taste ? :D
Just came back from BKK, all I can say is I found a diamond in the ruff; the Grottino Residence , the reason I chose this hotel was because of a recommendation of another internet board. The hotel was a bit difficult to find, even though I had printed out a map from yahoo and had the exact location from the Grottino website: www.grottino.com.
There really is a small Soi located behind the Westin and Robinson Shopping complex. It is a small Hotel, maybe 20 or so rooms. But the Quality of the rooms is outstanding, with a big bed, a writing desk, Daytime Couch, good sized TV (funny thing, only foreign Programmes, no Thai TV!), Safe Box, DSL Internet , cordless Telephone, great bathroom, good and ample lighting (with dimmers!).
Staff is very accomodating, never had any problem there at all. No guest problems, a seperate entrance allows you to sneak your girls in without going to reception. (Your Key Card works at this entrance too. No walk of shame). All in all a very convenient place, 2 min to sky train, 5 minutes walk to SOI cowboy and of course a skip and a hop to Nana or Washington Square.

nobody gets a kick back from Livingstone's.
If somebody stays here 3 days or longer and posts something in the ISG we give him a voucher about THB 1,000.00 . This is meant to be a promotion for ISG members, to get customers in here and as a "Thank You" to Jackson for allowing me to post in the "Giotto in Bangkok" thread.
As for the Radison - I don't know whether they are girl friendly but I expect them to be, because they are a bit away from the action. Not an easy location.
They have an excellent chief of the kitchen there.

I would just walk in and stop and look at the door man slash greeter and he would say something to the girl or the girl would know to let the door man check her ID...
Nothing to worry about paying extra for anything.
Some times Me and a friend would just walk past him with our girls .. Very drunk and in a hurry and they didnt do anything.

I stayed five days at Livingstone's in May. I highly recommend it and will stay again when I return to Bangkok. My point of reference is that I have stayed at the Sheraton and Grand President on previous trips.
I enjoyed the discretion at Livingstone's, the food was good and the Sports Bar convenient. I used the Gym at the Novotel for 200 Baht daily rate. The gym at the Novotel is not too impressive but it had the machine I wanted to use. There are larger gyms nearby but I did not check the prices. The TV reception could improve but I only used it to watch some of the NBA playoffs. Giotto acknowledges the problem in his thread and seems to be working on it.
Prices along Soi 33 are higher than at the lower numbered Sois on Sukhumvit. Asoke seems to be a great dividing line. I talked to a girl at the Biergarden who had never crossed that imaginary line and she had been in Bangkok awhile. My brother who lives in Bangkok immediately commented on the prices on Soi 33. He mostly works the New Wave and Biergarden area. For me, heck, I am on vacation for a week. Plus or minus $20 to $40 dollars a night is not a big deal to me. I am more attracted to the talent on Soi 33. Soi 33 has fewer touts. The Italian restaurant across from Giotto's is also recommended.
Call it kickback, call it spam,
I wonder whether the softtalk about Livingstone's worth THB 1000.00 a piece couldn't be restricted to the Giotto thread and this one left open for the remaining 9'999 Bangkok hotels. The Lodge is an interesting place, but if you want to say "thank you" to Jackson just send him the USD 19.95 membership fee.
Just my 2 bahts'. Jackson?

Free breakfast, wireless internet in the rooms, excellent value for the money. Inside the Hotel is the Toxic Bar. They advertise on the bangkok tonight website. Soi 33 is not my price range.

Thanks for your report, and - I don't know who you are.
I will add your report in the feedback section of the thread index of "Giotto's Lodge in Bangkok".
TV Reception: Oh yes, I am aware of the problem, and the sattelite company drives me crazy. We have 11 channels in the moment, but not all of them are clear in all rooms. We get more channels (the installation is dated for the 9th), but only god knows whether the comapny will show up this time or not.
I will keep you informed.

I was staying again at the Town Lodge Hotel,.Agree Tiger 1,
Not stayed there but have checked out the rooms for a friend and they are good:- jacuzzi suite looks like it has major potential!! Agree that it would be good value for money. Nice bar with some nice girls but high turnover it seems. It has the potential for being excellent but they need more bodies for it really to happen. For some being at end of soi may be a problem but should not be an issue really. Owners / bar manager really friendly and helpful.

I had been recommended the Ambassador hotel by a friend but have read that there has been a change in policy here.
Have also read the recommendation for the Grand Business Inn which looks like a possibility but I like the idea of a swimming pool.
Are there any other recommendations for hotels in the Soi 11 area which are clean, gf and have a swimming pool?
Sorry if I've not been diligent enough in rtff. Appreciate any help. I'll be in for next weekend. (17th/18th)

If you bring your own girl back to livinstones, you dont pay the bar fine?

Stayed in the Dynasty Inn Grande on Sukumvit Soi 6. It's a nice hotel - new and clean, with spacious rooms. Staff is friendly and the front desk girls speak decent English. Has a 24 hour cafe with room service. Decent pool. Great location and GF.
Cons - I could never get the shower water as hot as I wanted. The sink would get hot no problem, but the shower always stayed sort of lukewarm. Also, construction in the area is kind of noisy during the day.
Other than that, it's a good place. Would definitely recommend it.

If you bring your own girl or a girl from another bar to Livingstone's you don't have to pay anything in Livingstone's (and many other hotels) - it's then a deal between the girl and you.

Well, this question sounds ridiculous at the first glance, and he hasn't read the thai forum. But in Angeles a barfine of 1200 Pesos (around 900 Baht) pays for the bar and the girl. And I consider a barfine over 600 Baht in Thailand as steep and over 1000 baht as not acceptable. And yes, in soi 33 most of the bars (if not all) charge 1500 barfine. At NEP and Patpong barfines are 500-600. Toxic Charges 600 after midnight and for hotel guest all evening. Sure, at the lower barfines the girls mostly don't get a stake in it, but why do we need hidden charges? Give the girl a nice tip if she performs (and only then).

Tiger - it's a silly question only because the poster said he RTFF. A review of the Thai FAQ has it all. And your right re Angeles - again a RTFF would give you specifics.
As far as actual Thai barfines, it's simple economics. Some places command a higher price - whether you agree or not. Obviously patrons are paying the higher barfines on Soi 33 and not complaining. Similarly Beergarten has no barfine - you walk in, choose your TG, negotiate and off you go.
You know with all the mongering going on, has anyone ever picked up any of the hotel staff at the high class hotels? They are very sexy and willing to please. I'm so close to wanting to score on one by simply asking them out when I see them a little more than often in the hotel.
Has anyone scored? I'm afraid to do it because I generally want to have a great stay at the hotel and not create waves that would impede it. However, sometimes the girl is just one step beyond friendly, but not a second step to score. Some are so hot, I just want them in bed with me. I was so close at my last stay. It just got closer and closer and at the time I was hoping to see her again, she was off for the rest of the day. Maybe someone else got her, or she just went home in hot Bangkok. Don't they live in the hotel?
Anyone? I know you all have the thoughts! Just would like to get a report about it. Not the massage girl for the hotel, I mean the check-in staff or maybe a server at the restaurant. oh man! Once I was in a lounge and my cock almost went through the table!

Gyaos,
I did go out with one of the girls from the Westin but obviously you cannot bring them back to the same hotel they work in. I didn't really try anything but a kiss. Lost touch because I didn't want to invest the time since regular thai girls take it very slow.

I have come close to going out with a few of the JW girls. A few in the executive lounge are very friendly, and a couple of the girls in the bakery are to die for.
These girls have all seen me with company on various occasions.
They might be fun to go out dancing and have dinner with, but they have more to loose than I do.
I would feel real bad if they were reprimanded or worse for being overly social with a guest.
Besides
Between all the gogo's, beer bars, soapies, freelancers, I think I can leave "the help" alone.

Stayed at Dynasty Inn Grande last week for 8 nights. It's a great option at 1800 baht a night including taxes and service charges (opening special).
The room was large, clean and very comfortable. My room overlooked the pool and there was the slightest of construction noise. I'm a heavy sleeper and it wasn't enough to wake me up.
I emailed an enquiry via their website and received an email asking for the first night in advance to hold the room (as I was arriving after midnight). I faxed this through and they acknowledged receipt of the fax via email.
When checking in I was upgraded to a deluxe room for the same price as they were out of normal rooms. Not a big difference from what I could tell - maybe a little bit bigger and with a walk in shower.
Staff are very helpful and friendly and when taking girls back reception take their details for before they are allowed up. No card - no entry.
Finding it it was pretty easy. I grabbed a cab at the airport (went straight upstairs to departures - no wait) and it was 200 baht to the hotel including tolls. All cabbies know soi 4 and soi 6 is a one way street off soi 4 (runs back to Sukhumvit Rd opposite Nana BTS) - basically the first street on the left you can drive a car down.
The only downside is soi 4 can be a bit of a zoo (not my cup of tea), but other than that all was great. Oh, and the pool shuts at 8pm.
All in all, a great little hotel.
I recently stayed at the Miracle Grand Convention Hotel on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, about 10 minutes drive from the international airport. Reason was that I arrived late at night from a domestic flight and had to board an international plane early the next morning. Another alternative for an unconcerned traveler would be the Amari Airport Hotel but that place received a lot of bad comments here on the board and also looks shabby on the net.
Booking:
Booked and prepaid a Deluxe Room for 2 including breakfast and taxes for about 100USD through an internet travel site found with google.
Arrival:
No problem with taxi from airport, about a 10 minutes drive, of course no need to take the toll-way. While the hotel claims to be (and actually is) very close to the airport, you might still get caught up in a traffic jam, reason being that the hotel is located on a side road off the main city-airport route.
Check-In:
I arrived at 8pm. The lobby was busy and there were obviously some groups hanging around, having some “pissed” expressions on their face. I went to the reception to ask for my reserved and prepaid room. As always in Thailand, the receptionists smiled and let me fill in some forms. I had some thoughts when the lady went to get the front desk manager. He told me that my room was not ready because they had overbooked last night with tour groups; I could go to the Executive Lounge, have a drink and wait there. I congratulated him on the occupancy rate but told him that this was his problem; I had booked and paid a room so either he could find me a room or I would want to speak to someone who can give me a yes as an answer. After five seconds of leafing through some files, I was given an Executive Suite instead of the paid Deluxe Room. Ok, off to the room with a porter, passing by the tourists that looked as if they wanted to stab me in the back.
Room:
The Executive Suite was on the top floor of the building on a very quiet floor. The room (see pictures) basically consisted of a foyer with mini bar, a living area with some chairs/table/TV/work-desk, a pretty large bed, and a nice but dark marbled bathroom with separate shower cubicle and bath-tub with TV. There were in total 3 TVs in the room plus a DVD player. The mini-bar was locked with a key which is good for potential guests. The amenities were as to be expected for a suite. Major downsides: The air condition apparently was not properly maintained as it couldn’t be set too cool. As the room was on the top floor, the outside lights of the building require that the curtains be closed at night.
Breakfast:
Had buffet breakfast in one of the ground floor restaurants. The restaurant was extremely busy, full of Japanese and Koreans. The staff was impolite and not attentive at all, the quality of food not convincing. I completed my breakfast in less than five minutes to escape the stressful ambience.
Business Center / Club Lounge:
I went to the Executive Lounge to have a drink and borrow a DVD for free as this was included in the Executive Suite. The Lounge was not busy at all and the staff was very friendly.
Services:
Room service was quick and the food presented nicely. The Executive Lounge staff was also pleasant and helpful. Otherwise, the staff at the front desk, at the doors and within the restaurants was stressed out because of too many guests.
Pool:
Apparently there is one, but I haven’t been there.
Gym:
Apparently there is one, but I haven’t been there.
Restaurants:
I have tried the room service which was excellent. The breakfast, however, was a disappointment.
Location:
Located on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, about 10 minutes by taxi South from the International Airport. No tall-way needed, but some U-turns have to be made in order to get off the main road. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the airport every 30 minutes or so. I saw one shuttle bus leaving when I was checking out. However, the bus or better a small van was packed and I think I would have had a hard time to transport my luggage, laptop etc. with that van so I opted for a taxi.
Girlfriendliness:
I first planned to order a lady but due to another meeting, I did not bring anybody back to the Miracle Grand. When going to breakfast, I noticed some girls waiting in the lobby; I’m very sure they were hookers based on how they were dressed and how they looked at guys strolling around. As the hotel seems to be very busy because of all the group tours, I can’t imagine that anybody will notice you bringing back someone to your room.
Overall rating:
It was an interesting experience to try out another place, especially when I was given an Executive Suite for the price of a Deluxe Room. Personally, I don’t think I will stay at the Miracle Grand again. Not because the room was bad but because the location of the hotel is not that advantageous. I don’t think I saved a lot of time in the morning staying closer to the airport. The Miracle Grand might however be an option to consider if you have already arranged company, looking for a nice retreat close to the airport, making a night out in a Suite with good food, going to the casino etc.
I'll be in Bangkok for just few days in November and was looking for some info about where to stay. I've been there before and stayed in Patpang area, but would like to try a different nightlife area. Looking for a few good girl friendly 3-4 star hotels as well. Thanks in advice.

I once had my first trip to BKKville and wondered about which hotel would be the best to stay at. I read the section "Bangkok Hotels" and the more I read the more hotel info I found. I also went to other web sites and found lots more hotel info. I ended up staying at the Fortuna one trip, The Grand another time and Nana once.
I chose my hotel myself and will try a 4th hotel when I visit next. Still haven't found the perfect place, just some really nice ones.

Just returned from BKK last week (almost recovered.. )
- Ambassador:
Stayed here 2-3 nights. If you plan on staying here, make sure you book over the internet from a booking website, since it will cost under 1800 instead of the outrageous 2450 at the front desk.
Hotel was a bit worn out, and is just too big for my liking. Not enough staff working on the front desk.
There are staff (guys in black) at every lift entrance to make sure guys don't bring up extra girls. It was almost comical to watch a number of guys, even japanese, getting stopped and hassled for room numbers etc. Definitely not GF.
Breakfast was a shyt fight, with people running everywhere (yellow ticket seems the "normal" room, there is a "blue ticket" room full of indians). finished at 10am
There are a large number of indians and middle east/arabs staying here as well.
Air con was freezing.
Good: Location?
- Taipan
Bad: Rooms is old and shower leaked, got put into a smoking room and I didn't ask for it, and was told there were no rooms with a large king sized bed (had to have 2 twins)
Good: Breakfast was nice. Location is quite good, right near soi cowboy (though I didn't visit there this time). Same price applies for single or double, so bringing in girls didn't seem a problem, though they request the girl's ID. Price was reasonably cheap (get over the internet).
Would stay here again.

How girlfriendly is this hotel? Is it any good?
The location would make me thing this is a girlfriendly place. Right across NEP near at sukhumvit soi2
On my second trip to los I emailed this hotel as a possible stay...
They told me they had a joiner fee so I went to the majestic grand.. Paid more for the room but no joiner fee and closer to nep .. And didnt have to cross a major road in a drunken state LOL...

How is this hotel? Girlfriendly or not?
Rembrandt is girl-friendly to a point! Only if the girl looks well dressed and "classy" will they let her up to the room with you.
Don't try and bring in the Nana / Cowboy girl with the short skirt and platform heels!
If you order an escort from newspaper, they will let her in/out of the service entry at the back, and she will come straight to your room.
A great hotel with fantastic restaurants, and Senor Picos Mexican bar with live music
I just booked my hotels for my next trip to Thailand in July on:
www.lazybookers.com
They have a "price guarantee" of refund if you can get a better web deal!
I found this hotel in BKK, and it seems very good for quality/price and location.
Someone was here recently? I suppose it is GF, who can confirm it?
Thanks, brothers!

Freeman,
you should have booked a Deluxe room instead, very nice, clean, king size bed, in room-safe and twice as big as the rooms at the JW Marriott.
I posted a report plus a few pics about a year ago.

Buds66,
read a bit back. Duniawala posted some info about that hotel some time ago. It's a bit too worn out for my taste, but everybody has different likes and dislikes.

I'd say that qualifies the Rembrandt as very guest unfriendly. I've never stayed there, but have eaten at top-floor Indian restaurant, the Rang Mahal, several times. Last time I passed through the lobby a guy was engaged in a huge argument with the hotel staff about bringing a girl up to his room.

Hey guys,
Can anyone give a newbie some advice?
Going to Thailand beginning of September, solo. I intend to reserve Dynasty Inn hotels in bangkok and Pattaya (5 days bkk, 5 days Pattaya and Free transfer).
- Better to book a single or a double room? what's the difference ?
- Some advice about the rooms location ?
- Is it really necessary to book hotels before before the departure or not ? (many tourists in Thailand in September?)
Thanks

The 10-11 % you saved (1765 TBath) could be spend in having fun for another 6 hours.
Good luck.

I say book double.A double bed is one large bed. With a single you can get a large bed, but also two smaller beds.
But more importantly in a double room wyou actually are paying for double occupancy. So in case you have guests staying and it's a girlfriendly hotel no worries about extra costs like joinerfees etc.
Also you get an extra breakfast. That's teh most important reason. Anyway never book a single IMO. Small price difference.

Guys...which hotel would you recommend?
Townlodge, Majestic suites or Swiss Park?
Needs to be a nice and clean hotel. With a good big bed.

Needs to be a nice and clean hotel. With a good big bed.Depends on where you want to go. I never stay at Majestic Suites but some of my friends swear by it because it is so close to Nana. I have stayed at Townlodge and it was a bit more modern and bigger rooms than MS. Not walking distance to Nana but close to Soi Cowboy and closer to Soi 33, Emporium and the Oilies. Never stayed at Swiss Park.

Townlodge: Good for Cowboy
Majestic: Good for Nana, Bier Garden etc.
Swiss Park: In between them both
Personally, would go for Townlodge. It may be a bit of the beaten track but has clean, nice rooms, wifi, good management and you can always pick up something from the bar downstairs. You could also spoil yerself and have the jacuzi room for 2900baht (I think) regular rooms around 1200 last time I was there. Only downside maybe contruction noise as they are building a big condo on the old driving range next door. Should not be too bad though.
Cheers

I would pass on Dynasty Inn, I went to look at it when I was in Bangkok about 1 month ago and in my opinion it is very run down and the rooms look very cheap. I also would not worry about the free transportation to Pattaya since it only cost about 400 to go there by bus (maybe less). If you want to stay at a Dynasty in order to save the bus fare, I would recommend the Dynasty inn Grande which is new and is now offering a special rate.

Stayed at Majestic suite last month, the room is not very big however they do have a large bed plus an in-room safe which is nice. Cost is only 1250-1350 per night. You have to book in advance since they book up very fast.
Csun - try 120B by bus Grungthep to Pattaya (either Ekkamai or Morchit)
...Not walking distance to Nana...Depends on what you call walking distance. It won't take more that 20 minutes. The biggest problem is to cross Ashok. If you take a taxi you risk to need longer. The big advantage of Town Lodge is that there is no traffic because it is at the dead end of the soi. Very quiet.

Just back from a long trip to asia which included 6 nights in Bangkok – the forum gave me great info before I went so here is my contribution based on experiences in Bangkok:
Where to stay?
Well, I started at Livingstone’s as I had exchanged email with Giotto in advance. There were pros and cons for this place. Was welcomed by Guido and shown to the room then sports bar. Overall this hotel is a good base for newbie (like me) with basic but clean rooms, great location, lots of restaurants (Thai, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Steakhouse), bars and massage all a stones throw away. But I had an unexpected bad impression for several reasons because I really felt that it is all about making money and Guido was not so helpful when $ for Livingstones not at stake. Asked Guido to meet Giotto and also asked some of the girls for him but never met Giotto. Also barfines are kinda high, soap, shampoo etc in the rooms is in refillable little bottles and even guests need to pay for internet terminal access. I always thought those guys who complained Giotto was exploiting the forum for profit should simply stay away, now I think it is all really about money – that is just my honest impression but then I guess Giotto has been up front and admitted that anyway. But I do recommend here if you want a good value (I think it was around $35 per night for room), good location and can find everything you are likely to need on site or within a few minutes walk.
After 2 days I switched to JW Marriott which has also been reviewed here many times. This place is really an oasis of luxury surrounded by much dirtier places! You really get what you pay for but it only cost me $109 for a massive corner room, bathroom all marble/glass. It is a stones throw from Nana plaza. Kind of disconcerting that all the luxury hotels stop all vehicles and check insode and underneath with mirrors before letting them drive up to entrance. The award-winning buffet (900B) is excellent and they have a Thai restaurant where the food, entertainment and staff are wonderful (complete dinner around 500B). Definitely recommended.

I guess for some people, walking 20 minutes isn't a big deal. I don't want to get all drenched with sweat when it is really humid. I would just pay 35 or 40 baht for the taxi cab. Also Townlodge has a free tuk tuk that will take you around the neighborhood. Tips are appreciated.
I didn't think the rooms were that great at the Dynasty Inn in Bangkok either. Small dark roomsand it was just basic in my opinion. The rooms at the Dynasty Inn in Pattaya on Soi 13 is much larger, newer and a lot better room over all. You also don't need to stay at the Dynasty Inn in Bangkok to get the free shuttle ride to Pattaya. You do need to pre pay for two nights for the Dynasty Inn in Pattaya to get that free shuttle ride. On my first visit to Bangkok I stayed at the Majestic Suites around the corner from Nana Plaza and used the free shuttle ride to Pattaya. I of course payed and stayed at the Dynasty Inn in Pattaya for a few days. All in all it's not a bad deal.

Weird, you had to pay for internet? It's wifi as far as I know and completely free?
Very different impression to my stay at Livingstones.
As T1234 says - wi-fi is free.
Lucky you didn't meet Giotto. Guido is much better looking.
But you're right - the shampoo is in refillable bottles. For this, I will never stay at Livingstones again. Well, maybe I will, if Giotto promises to hook me up with Island Girl again. (That reminds me - Giotto knew I liked Island Girl before I knew, but that's another story).
Seriously, how can you say the rooms are basic? Check the pics. Maybe you asked for the broom-closet.

Yes, internet is included in the room rates in Livingstone's Lodge. But I think Imready777 is talking about the internet station downstairs, that one for the walk-in customers. There we charge.

I took a few portraits of my 1-week GF(s) at the Lodge ;), and sent poster size prints from the States. Fed Ex could not find the Lodge, so I e-mailed Guido and asked him to help. He took care of it and the girls got their posters.
I’m also a high maintenance guest, always asking Guido or Giotto to arrange things for me (my first night the girls and I got so plastered we ended up in the pool). All at no extra cost, well I did buy the pretty Ms. G a tank top from the States that shows her best assets :)

07-03-06, 06:41
Im planning a trip to Thailand and was wondering if anyone used a web service (which one) to make hotel reservations at the following Hotels:
LK Metropole Pattaya
Majestic suites in Bangkok
A few posters stayed at these hotels but out of all the web travel agencies I found either no listing or a higher price than if I made a direct reservation with the hotel.…
Can anyone give me some enlightenment on this situation?
V/R AliasDonkey
My second ever question on this forum: Is the A 1 Hotel off New Petch friendly for our hobby?Terry Terrier,
A One is girl-friendly, but this information is 7 month old. I think you know that is far away from any action, the closest is the Siam City Hotel action late night. And the traffic jam on New Petchaburi Road is horror pure.
BTW: There is a short time hotel integrated on the left hand side of the hotel, when you come from New Petchaburi Road through the small roads, on ground level.

GiottoGiotto,
There are two parts to the A One Hotel. The underground part is a st hotel and has the curtains which cover up your car. Used it many times before.
The upstairs part, the main hotel is not guest friendly. My mate stayed there last week and was pissed, as he had to pay 500 Baht joiner fees even though he had booked a double room. He couldnt change hotel as he was booked in there for 14 days. Didnt want to lose his money.
I am having a hard time choosing between Grand Business Inn and Majestic Suites for an upcoming trip to BKK.
Can I please get some objective feed back from you guys that have stayed at these places....or maybe I should just go and stay at Livingstones.

A search of first two will give you hits with some fairly objective comments and comparisons. I've never been to either but both get excellent reviews.
Livingston's - on Soi 33 and definitely different than the other two, in a positive way. Some of us are biased to Giotto's -- I personally would certainly recommend you try it.
But don't think you can go wrong with any of the three.

BuzzI stayed a few times in the Grand Business Inn. Nice decorated rooms, spotless clean bathroom, friendly reception staff, no breakfast included but served 24 hours a day at very good quality. And absolutely girlfriendly. It will be my choice without any doubt for the next trip. And a bit further away from Nana also has its advantages. Not too far away, so any girl you pick up between Nana and Soi 23 is very willing to walk with you to the hotel.
And if you go for second time, you can easy bargain for a 300 Bath discount a night.
Good luck

Just make sure you booka doubleroom.
And to be honest you can straightout ask the hotel via email if there's some joinersfee involved when you take guest in teh hotel.
Frankly I never had a hotel refuse a guest in my hotel. But I often got asked to pay a joinersfee.

Buzz,
the Grand Business Inn is very basic but new and clean, No in-room safe but safety box at reception.Everything else has already been said below.
Majestic on the other hand used to be clean, but a few months ago a member complained about bugs as far as I remember. Rooms are also very small, not much bigger than a king size bed, but prime location just around Nana and in-room safe.

Request for advice.
Fellows, has any of you ever used President Solitaire. Is this a fine GF hotel?
How long away fro Nana Plaza is it located, is it possible to walk?
I expect to book the Solitaire room, is that good value for money?
Any advice will be welcomed. Couldent find anything in the folder about this hotel.
Regards Corleone
Got only one night at Nana Plaza, guys where do I have to go?
