Defferentiating Between Nationalities
[QUOTE=GreenBud;2969223]I am assuming they were Thai. But I have trouble differentiating between Thais, Cambodians, Vietnamese, and Laotians. One looked like he was around 5 years old. The others seemed to be maybe 10 or 11.[/QUOTE]Don't feel alone. Many (most?) of people of those nationalities have the same trouble if judging soley on physical appearance. "Nationality" is merely a political designation established by lines in the sand. A while back, I posted a collage of photos of four Asian women and asked if anybody could correctly identify their nationalities. Nobody was able to do so. (The choices were simple: Thai, Cambodian, and Filippino.).
Register girls at hotel front desk for safety?
I didn't practice this when I visited in June. One of the girls was so angry that she didn't close the room door after I denied her overnight stay. Thinking back, would it be better to register the girl at the front desk before bring her into the room for our safety? How common is this practiced here?
Taking 18 and 19 y old women to your hotel
My regular 4 star hotel near Nana is girl friendly but registers visitors. The other day my company was denied entry because she was only 19 years old. This gem was beautiful and fresh as a daisy. I would have hated to take her to a run down motel. Thankfully the reception explained that the girl could join me if I registered her as second occupant of the hotel room. The disadvantage would be that after that I would have to pay joiner fees for any other girls that would visit me. I gladly registered her as it was my last night anyway. We had a great night and she is now my regular when I'm in Bangkok.
There is obviously a certain risk involved as the girl could later enter the room without me. But I'm happy to have found this solution and hope it might help others in a similar situation.
Help with Short Time (1 hour) Hotel near Nana Plaza
I am in a pricy hostel (silly me) so don't have a room for taking a girl. One girl told me there's a short term hotel she knows for 200 Baht. Seems shady but that's how much I would want to pay for 1 hour tbh. Any recommendations please. I don't want to get robbed or have a dirty STD laden bedsheet.
Apologies in advance for asking but please don't think I have not researched on this subject I spent 2 hours here and on the Bangkok addicts forum but cannot find good recent leads.
Standard arrangement, though 200 sounds cheap, but maybe I always get ripped off
The 40-50 such rooms I have spent some lovely time in over the years, they seem acceptable when I enter. After I have completed my business, the room looks too disgusting for me to have ever willingly entered.

Thanks HorseTrader for the recommendation
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;2969790]Ive never experienced a 200 baht ST hotel. I can only imagine how bad it would be.
Turn left coming out of Nana Plaza and walk to The Tavern and turn left. There are about 4 ST hotels on that alley, I think about 300 baht per hour. I don't remember any of them to be good. As of a week ago, the first one on the right was clean enough but terrible bed in tiny room.
Better is to walk to Soi 7/1 and use Atlas Hotel. Atlas has always been satisfactory to me. Sometimes 300 baht for ST and sometimes 350 baht.[/QUOTE]Yup I shall try Atlas, although it's a 12 minutes walk. Don't you think the FLs will count these 12 minutes in my 1 hour time, especially because I am not following their recommendes (albeit shady) hotels.
