Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=NicFrenchy; 1130249]Why stay in such a shitty hotel? There are many good places around 2000 thb (which is cheap).

For me, I wouldn't sty in a place that charges less than 4k / night. But I don't care about costs, just have to ba a 5 star[/QUOTE]I agree.

Can't understand his comment "good for the price" (?) and then list a series of neagtive sides.

With regard of your price level I am sure Giotto will be happy to charge you 4k@LL if that makes you happy, LOL.

Stickers with stars are easily available at any stationery shop! .

[QUOTE=John Traveller;1130238]I checked in at Honey Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 19, no 31. Today. Good hotel for the price and good location. Gf-friendly. I pay 900 for a room upstair, a / see but no fridge, and it smells old / shitty. The room downstair at the carpark is same type and cost 800. Then there are rooms from 1000 and upwards which are better with minibar and good air, I will move to one of them tomorrow. Then the wi-fi connection, first its not free, you have to pay for the time you use, secondly the net "Cyberpoint" blocks this forum! Totally horrible! I now have to sit at a restaurant nearby to access it.[/QUOTE]Well I stayed at Honey 17 years ago during my stingy stage. The staff at Honey were great but the rooms were dog-boxes. Wouldn't really consider it now, as it hurts your image to be in a place that is probably below 3 stars. 3.5 star standard is now my minimum and Admiral Premier fits the bill nicely with 4 stars at about 2. 5K with kitchenette and everything included (no Internet fees).

I don't like to waste money on a Hotel that could be used for mongering, but the girls do like the Grand Millenium with separate shower and tub, big mirrors, super comfort beds, etc. Sometimes GM rooms are on the Wotif secret deal at good prices well under 3K.

It seems can't get Silq or Admiral Premier any longer for 2K, but for 2K price would recommend Livingstones (if don't mind creaky beds) , or Dawin, or Grand President, or maybe even Darjelling for under 2K.

Nic seems a little strange in that he wants to pay 4K plus for his room, but quibble over 200 Baht on the price of a massage.

My view is its best to have a moderate to good standard room at a good price, and keep the left over money to spend on girls. Girls will wonder why guys, tight with there money, will sometimes stay at expensive Hotels? What is the point to it? I only stay 5 star when the price is really good.

P. S. Can be a good idea to get an internet Aircard and plug in your top-up SIM, to avoid hotel internet charges or site blocking, if staying in Thailand for any length of time, or use internet tethering on your iphone.

[QUOTE]Admiral Premier fits the bill nicely with 4 stars at about 2,500 baht with kitchenette and everything included (no Internet fees).[/QUOTE]QUESTION regarding the Admiral Premier, if you don't mind sir. Do the cab drivers have a difficult time finding it? What is the best way to give them directions?

[QUOTE]The girls do like the Grand Millennium with separate shower and tub, big mirrors, super comfortable beds, etc. Sometimes GM rooms are on the Wotif secret deal at good prices well under 3K.[/QUOTE]I stayed at the Grand Millennium last fall (and posted lots of photos). The girls definitely loved the place. Unfortunately, it's somewhat pricey so you need to book carefully and bear in mind that you can often bargain over upcharges for internet, club level access etc.

Bunky[/QUOTE]Bunky,

Yes your right on both counts.

The Admiral Premier is a bit difficult, unless you know where its is and know the turns.

But its very close to Chokchai Steakhouse. Taxi can either enter Soi 23, turn right after Indochine restaurant and turn first on the left, then Hotel is about 100 metres down on the right.

Alternatively, if travelling south towards Sukhumvit Road, in Soi Asoke, turn left after Bangkok Smile Dental clinic (7-eleven on Corner) about 400m before Sukhumvit Road, as though heading to ChokChai steak house, cross over Soi 23 turn right at the 2nd Soi after that (3rd Soi in all). Admiral Premier is then on the left.

Shown on Mick's Map (I think he first recommended it):

If booking ahead, I see Agoda has Admiral Premier as low as 1877 THB incl breakfast and internet (plus taxes& service) which will come to 2173 THB per night (taxes add a lot). That is really a good deal. In fact I might take it myself.
Unfortunately a few tours are now using Admiral Premier because its very good for the bargain prices, so sometimes its booked out or priced very high.
Good thing about Agoda, is you can cancel and get a refund of most of money, depending on giving them at least 24 hours notice. I have got refund before when I changed my mind.

GM is on special now I think for 2800 but doesn't include internet or breakfast, so upgrade to get those is going to add a bit. I would look at bringing my own internet card, or use internet tethering on an iphone with edge internet connection. Its not super fast, but I found an aircard with Edge quite acceptable for my use. Charge for one month of internet on a SIM card was about 1K, and less for shorter periods. May need to try for a floor not too high and not too low for best reception.

If book wotif superspecials, probably no refund for cancellation.

GM annoyed me because they charge so much for internet but you only get one connection. So if you wanted to use wifi on your iphone as well as notebook, bad luck, or buy two internets (ouch!)

We all should really refuse to stay at Hotels where internet is not included in the price.

Their Single Deluxe rooms at 1000 baht per night are quite decent (and the other more expensive rooms too) IMHO. I never have stayed so far in their cheapest rooms, but for only 100 or 200 baht more, I would recommend to get at least a Single Deluxe room at the Honey Hotel. I never have had any image problem with the girls who visited me here as this place is certainly much better than their own.

[QUOTE=Bamboo Pete; 1112116]Amari Residences Sukhumvit has special offers currently :

But I have not found a post if they are guest friendly. On their home page, FAQ section, they write :

How many people can stay in one apartment?

Each apartment can accommodate a maximum of three people.

Does this mean they are guest friendly? [/QUOTE]

No, that does not mean they are guest friendly. I stayed at another Amari which is not girl friendly at all - the Amari Boulevard.

I had a look at Tripadvisor and most people thought Honey had a few good modernised rooms. One very disturbing review however.

What's the best option for Morning or afternoon sex? Somewhere that does not really take all your I'd and crap. More like a clean, no fuss Short time hotel (but not the regular dirty ST Rooms)

Thanks

[QUOTE]The Admiral Premier is a bit difficult, unless you know where its is and know the turns.[/QUOTE]How about coming from Nana Plaza via taxi? (With a giggling hottie from Rainbow 4 or Mandarin in your lap, of course.)

I should think the simplest route would be to head southeast on Sukhumvit to Asok, then turn left at that massive intersection under the BTS station. Then north on Asok, past Soi Cowboy, past the Grand Millennium to the first intersection (Sukhumvit Soi 21). Turn right there and head east to the third intersection. Then right one last time onto the dead end street when the hotel is located.

Does this sound right? If so, is there a landmark at the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 21 and the street on which the Admiral Premier is located?

When it comes to hotels, I am one picky mother fucker and it's 4k or up (unless someone gets me a great deal). My company pays up to 4k so why should I stay in a cheaper room? Right? .

[QUOTE=Duniawala;1131803]hj? :)..............[/QUOTE]From a non P4P gal? LOL.

I don't do HJ anyway, a total waste of time.

I am seeing a lot of non-p4p girls lately and don't want tu use my condo.

I was actually thinking of renting a 10k / month place for "extra-curricular" activities. Hehehe

Planning a trip to BKK in March end for a week and just happened to come across OMNI TOWER Rates of around 1300 Baht inclusive of Bfast and taxesfor a Studio room. Its on Sukhumvit Soi 4 Nana Tai, was wondering if any of the fellow members have stayed here or know of the place? Is it Gf? Walk time to Nana Station?

I saw on the web that it is now under Compass Hospitality. I have stayed in their other hotels and were good.

Budget is upto 1500 Bahts for a decent hotel on Sukhumvit. Guidance and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thinking of moving to BKK for a few months. Can anyone tell me what would it cost to get a 2-bedroom serviced apartment per month. Doesn't have be on Sukhumvit but anywhere close to the BTS. Thanks

Here's a link to my review of the Omni: [url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?1029-Bangkok-Hotels&p=1089248#post1089248[/url] Scroll up for bigger photos instead of the ones that I attached to my original review.
