Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=ScoobieDiver;2219540]One unusual thing about T21 worth noting though. It is a really nice hotel but for some reason, they do not serve My alcohol anywhere in the hotel.[/QUOTE]Meant they do not serve any alcohol within the hotel.

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2219442]Of the hotels you mention, I would give T21 the best reviews and I mostly concur with MichaelSamuel. That said, I would also add that T21 is a little pricey these days for what you get. For example, the last time I stayed there I booked the 1 bedroom executive suite for $126 with bfst. Sadly, that is not even close to the current price for that room anymore. It is a lot more expensive now even in low season. Another note of warning is that the T21 beds are Asian style and by that I mean very, very firm. If you like a firm mattress then you will like the beds at this hotel. But other than those 2 points the hotel is great and very popular. The pool is very nice and the location hard to beat.
[/QUOTE]I hate overly firm beds. Heavy bones. Pullman Grande beds are comfortable in the extreme. Like sleeping on a cloud is how I describe it. Citadines 23 has very hard mattresses. I hated it. Pullman Grande is good when they have a special on, same as I only really stay top Hotels when they have a good price, not frequently in Bangkok Hotels anyway.

Got amazing deal for a high rise apartment with Kitchen, cost is 1500 per night and girls guessed it would be at least double that price. Just keep an eye out for unusual specials, since these are not normally available at short notice I think. I can't mention where it is right now, as she may read the forum. LOL.

Thanks.

[QUOTE=EdSetra;2222418]Sounds a good deal. Where to look for unusual specials?

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Any booking site. I got this one on [URL]Booking.com[/URL]. Was a apartment run by TC Contel property mgt. I don't have AirBNB experience but heard it can be risky.

Are there any hotels that allow you to walk in with two girls without having to stop for an ID check? More specifically any that allow more than one girl up to your room at one time?

[QUOTE=Forty77;2214380]I'm going to have 2-day layover in Bangkok before my departure for Vietnam, and I'm looking for accommodation near Soi Cowboy. This hotel has nice score on booking site but it's obviously new and there are very few reviews on internet so I'm not sure about their guest policy. It is way cheaper than my previous bookings in this area so I'm curious about this one. I don't really need any extra options (swimming pool, gym, breakfast.) for those two days so I think this one would be good enough. Of course only if it's girl friendly.

I would appreciate any info about this one.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]I stayed there last week. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful It's definitely girl friendly. Brought girls there every night. No issues. Just need to give them the girl's ID. If you only plan to visit Soi Cowboy then it's okay but I also visited Thermae bar so I had to walk quite a distance. The building shakes every 10 minutes because of the subway underneath. Toiletries are bare minimum. My room A/C didn't work well and the water pressure from my shower was poor. I booked Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel for my next visit so that it; s convenient for me to visit Thermae, Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza although I read some reviews complaining they got charged joiner free for bringing girls back but I suspect he was bringing more than 1 girl at a time or he only checked "1 person" when he booked the room.

[QUOTE=Breadman;2222834]Are there any hotels that allow you to walk in with two girls without having to stop for an ID check? More specifically any that allow more than one girl up to your room at one time?[/QUOTE]Certainly they exist, although hard to be definitive, because can depend on the level of pomposity of the particular staff member on the desk.

We used to have Tansak on the forum who regularly took 5 different girls to his room every day, and more than 1 at a time. He would have to keep requesting extra towels. LOL His fortune may have evaporated in the end.

I used to take two girls at one time to Admiral Premier quite regularly and most staff did not bat an eyelid.

One time two girls stayed whole night but the bed was slightly small for all three. You might want a room with King Size bed.

There are some hotels with a lift that bypasses reception then only have elevator guard to deal with. I used to go in back entrance to Pullman Grand directly to elevators without passing reception.

Now I am in an apartment which does not require me to pass any Hotel reception if I use the correct entrance.

Lastly if there is a problem at your Hotel, you can certainly use a ST Hotel. They may charge 100 Baht extra for the additional girl to cover towel laundry etc. E. g. Asoke Place I have certainly taken 2 girls many times.

Recently I was at one Hotel in Sathorn area that was overly zealous about checking girl ID. I did not like it due to having one girl not Thai whose right to be in Thailand and working as a hooker was a bit suspect. So I always prefer reception that ignores the extra guest.

It don't take street walkers back to my regular room, unless I know them well. No risks taken! I don't use a Hotel room safe yet never had anything stolen from my room. I guess that means I chose only suitable girls to go back to the room. Obviously don't leave cash lying around to tempt the cleaners.

I guess you read about Smoothie's problem recently so make sure the girl's are old enough if reception might be checking, and for some Hotels that seems to be 20 YO.

Avoid pompous Hotels, but I can't list which ones they are. Was Parvena too pompous in my recent experience. Won't be back there. Now in an apartment, I can do what I like and did bring two girls for threesome already.

I need a decent, yet inexpensive (say 1400 BHT) hotel in the Ari / Saphan Kwai area next week for a few days. Girl friendly one of course.

Agoda has a whole slew of them but some personal experience as to the girly issue will be helpful. If no one knows, NBD, if I get the urge I will just go ST and a Love shack. Its just nice to have the option.

I can go to my usual place in Ekkamai, but then I would have to ride the BTS during rush hour so no no no go.

None of my regular places do unless you ask them too. Here is my list from experience.

Landmark.

Conrad.

Four Points.

JW Marriott.

Marriott on 57.

Grande Centre Point T21.

I doubt you would be questioned at any about more than one girl either. But I haven't tried.

Has anyone stayed at Tints of Blue? Looks decent. My main question is can I cut through to Soi Cowboy or do I need to walk all the way to Sukhumvit then back up to Soi Cowboy?

I will be back in Bangkok tomorrow for a 3 week business trip, but unfortunately there was no room available for the entire stay at my regular hotel. I got the option to change room a couple of times, but I don't like switching between different rooms.

I know it might be a gamble but I will try a completely new hotel for me. St James Hotel on Soi 26. Never been there before but I will write a report on how it was.

Be safe.

I used to stay in Admiral Premier a lot and that is not far from Narz and Pegasus. I think it will be marginally shorter but not by much

[QUOTE=Syzygies;2222887]There are some hotels with a lift that bypasses reception then only have elevator guard to deal with. [/QUOTE]Hyatt Place on Soi 24, the elevators bypass the reception if you're staying on the lower floors, up to FL. 16 from what I remember. Above that you need to change elevators but you could probably do this on another floor. I haven't tried since the girls I brought back to my room were during the day so they didn't bother even looking at me at reception.

[/QUOTE]That is interesting since I had no issues at all when stayed there. I don't recall the shaking at all. Perhaps I am used to noisy Thailand.
