Can anyone tell me if any money exchange will be open around 21:00 around soi 23 (i think they all close at around 6)? Arriving 19:00 at the airport with only 1000bht on me, will get me to the hotel, but not through the night ;)

[QUOTE=Barko]It does sound great.

Few questions: Thai girls need butt sprayers (me too, I hate toilet paper) they got them? In the room pics it looks like there are multimedia LCD TV connectors available right on the desk (HDMI, etc.) true? How is the neighborhood, any good places to eat nearby? Is that area quiet, how's the street noise?

The place does sound very very tempting. Thanks for the info Mouse1, much appreciated..

Nice report.[/QUOTE]To answer your questions:

1 Butt sprayer: They do have them. I had a quick try and was astonished by the pressure. I could have cleaned my patio with it!

2 There are USB and HDMI sockets (I was struggling to remember the name when I said optical) in the desktop. There are also various connectors dangling from the back of the TV (but hidden). I didn't experiment but presumably you could play videos off your computer, etc.

3 There are no places to eat nearby, although there are some street vendors up from Annie's. If you've walked that far though there are of course plenty of places to eat around there.

4 It's some way down Soi 2 so it is very quiet, and there is no noise in the rooms. On the rooftop bar you can however hear the roar of the expressway nearby (but not too intrusive).

5 One day I timed my walk and it was 4 minutes from the hotel to Annie's and a further 2 minutes to the end of the Soi. I didn't get the hotel tuc-tuc that day as I was going for a run around Lumpini Park, which was a 25 minute walk away (although barely a few hundred metres as the crow flies).

Many thanks for the info Mouse1.

The "5 star" Dream Hotel Sukhumvit has now dropped its Wotif secret "Wot Hotel?" rate:

Previously, the secret deal was listed @ 2300 Baht. Today it's down to [b]1900 Baht.[/b] Free Internet.

[b][url]http://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=W64090&page=1&viewType=all&refId=65662[/url][/b]

Compare to Dream Hotel Standard Wotif room rate: 3100 Baht:

[url]http://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=W44168&page=1&viewType=all[/url]

Agoda discount rate = 2,900 Baht including taxes. 5 Star? Hmm, let's give it maybe a 4.

Good location, small room but good beds, decent price.

Stay away from the mini-bar! ;)

Yeah, but don't you have to dry your butt off after spraying it with a butt washer?

What do you dry it with ... toilet paper, right?

Not necessarily, here is what I have (air fluffs your butt): [url]http://www.biobidet.com/BB1000_SupremeBidet.htm[/url]

I have a good aim, even if navigating blind ;). no need to dry after, just pull up the jeans, a minute later, I am dry and good as new.

[QUOTE=1Ball]I have a good aim, even if navigating blind ;). no need to dry after, just pull up the jeans, a minute later, I am dry and good as new.[/QUOTE]Ditto. Heh. Just a quick but precise blast from the past, (and a good soapy wash of the hands) then off and running.

TP? Why?

Next up: Star ratings for hotel butt sprayers. :D

Mouse, first thing I look for is a butt sprayer when I check into a hotel in Asia. In europe, I don't even bother, though the french do have bidets.

:D

I should be there next week. I would spend few days with a nice girl I met last time I was there. She is working there and is from philipines.

I wanted to save save somw dough on the hotel cost. Is it ok to book any hotel now that I have someone who will be with me the whole time? Do I need to put her name down when I book for hotel or she can just be with me at the time of check-in?

Also, I was thinking on Imm Fushion hotel. Looks like a cheap one. Anybody stayed there lately?
