You have some valid and invalid assumptions
[QUOTE=Jayree;3005994]Hello gents, I am planing to be in Bangkok from the 14th to 18th of June. ** I understand this is during the slow season and will be raining but I have an opportunity and have not been to Bangkok before. *.
There is quite a few post saying don't delay if you got the chance. * I am taking that advice.
I have also read post during June of last year and there seems to be options.
I had a few questions and was looking for help / answers.
If it's raining will th gogo bars be closed?
I assume pickings are going to be slim.
Pricing based on what I have read:
3000 and up for girl.
1500 and up for BF.
300 to 700 for ST room.
Are the message shops available anytime?
Planning to visit a few of the well known and TOFTT a few.
I am planning on staying at the Westin which is 7 minutes walk to Soi cowboy and Nana plaza.
I choose this one as it's close and I am only there for 3 or 4 nights.
Not sure if they are girl friendly?
For the freelancers I am assuming due to rain they might be hard to find.
I have read about 10 pages back and will try to read some more but this being slow season was hoping for some help and leads, PM if you need.
TIA.[/QUOTE]Fuck the rain. It does not matter. Buy and umbrella and a second pair of shoes and extra socks. Life, business, p4 p go on and on and on. Unless there is a tropical storm it's like a snow storm in Buffalo in the winter, people know how to cope. The only thing you REALLY need to make sure of is: "Not sure if they are girl friendly?" Find a place that is.
Westin BKK Guest Friendly?

Not sure if they are girl friendly?[/QUOTE]There are two kinds of "guest friendly". First, a hotel that allows guests for a relatively small extra charge. Second kind is a hotel that allows guests without a charge. Either type might require a guest to leave their ID or a copy of their ID at registration. Elevators may be attended by "security".
A few years ago, I inquired with the Westin via email as to the hotel's policy regarding guests. I was advised that the hotel did allow guests for a surcharge of 500 baht. I did not inquire further if that was for each guest or per day or whatever other possibilities might be involved. I ended up booking Centrepoint Terminal 21 next door to the Westin. Completely guest friendly. You might want to contact the Westin directly via email and make inquiry. There are a lot of street walkers around the Westin and can not be mistaken for what they are. So not likely that you could sneak one into the hotel. Ha ha ha.
