Jasmine resort Sha plus with private pool
Hey,
Has anyone been there? Would be great combination with ordering an escort for couple hours. Also I love the view from the pool.
Suggestions either positive or negative please!
First timer, need veg food options
Travelling first time to BKK.
Will be staying for 2 week and may extend.
Please suggest hotels between 20-30 USD range where I can get good vegetarian food in that area. Thanks in advance.

$50,840 USD TOTAL.[/QUOTE]Your plan is pretty close to what I'm doing now. Makati / Manila was dead so I'd plan less time in Manila and take a trip to Angeles. I don't think Manila is going to improve by October. If you do visit Manila, check out I'm Hotel. It's newish and a few blocks from Burgos. It has a really nice spa attached. Massage is okay. I was able to pay $80 per night for their premier suite, living room and bedroom. See my Makati and Angeles reports for why I'd skip or only spend a few days in Makati. I didn't make it to Subic but you could break up Angeles with a trip to Subic or Boracay from Angeles. Check out iCove Hotel in Subic. On the beach with okay rooms and a nice pool and close to the bars. Penthouse or Central Park in Angeles are usually around $40 to $70 per night and they're both okay hotels. Penthouse is a little newer. There's also a Marriott and Swissotel attached the mall. You'll need a trike or taxi at the end of the night to get back. You can also fly from Angeles to BKK. Sometimes you can get a free layover in Singapore which is a great way to visit the Geylang if its reopened by then. Hot Vietnamese and Chinese girls.
Definitely fly business class. The regular check in for MNL to BKK looked crazy due to verifying all the paperwork for Thailand. I arrived 2 hours before my flight and the line had 60 people and snaked 5 rows back. I was able to walk up, check in and then go to the lounge. Then walk straight from the lounge onto the plane a little after the boarding started. No waiting and no hassles. Make sure you print all your paperwork (insurance, vax, pass, etc) or download everything to your phone before for easy access. At BKK, business class also gets you access to their Fast Track lane for immigration. Again, you walk right through. Only problem is it took forever for my luggage to come out, even with the priority luggage tag.
I'm in Pattaya now, which so far has been great. It's not as lively and the party area has definitely shrunk, but the girls are still the same. Hot 20 yo and 30-50 yo milfs with big fake boobs, fake bods, and fake faces. Whatever you're looking for, you can still find it here. Heading to Bangkok in a week. I like JW Marriott in BKK because it's right next to Nana. I also like Radisson Blu because it's between Soi Cowboy and the Japanese Soi with the blow job and h / e massage places. Prices are less than your budgeted amount for Hyatt ($100 per night sometimes). I'll post a report in Pattaya and Bangkok in a couple weeks when I'm done.
One caution is that packing and flying or changing hotels every week is a hassle. So if you don't need to do layovers I'd skip them. PAL has 14 hour nonstop flights from LA to MNL. They have newish planes with the angled lay flat seats. Food is terrible. I always bring my own. This time I brought Chicfila since I'm going without for a month.
I wouldn't skimp on the hotels. Hotels are super cheap now due to the lack of guests. And some of the people who stay at the budget hotels are not exactly "worldy. " I'm staying at a 4 star "luxury" hotel in Pattaya in one of their best rooms and an Indian couple locked their kids in the hallway for two hours so they could get a nooner. Listening to two kids beg their dad to let them in the room, knocking on the door, and ringing the door bell was super annoying after being up to 4 am. Imagine how bad it might be at a "3 star" or less hotel. I'd also avoid condos unless they have daily room service. Who wants to worry about towels, cleaning, or make your bed while you're on vacation.
For a last hurrah, I wouldn't skimp on anything. Save your money for what? Saving or skimping will only lead to regret, so I'd ring every bell in every bar and barfine the whole bar once or twice and go out a legend and make the cheap charlies start complaining about "PilotPetes" instead of "weekend millionaires".
Holding ID is a Good Thing
[QUOTE=Mogwai;2718323]Aloft Hotel in Soi 11 is very GF. They don't even check or take their ID's.[/QUOTE]Perhaps I have a different attitude regarding hotels checking and holding ID's, it's an added bit of security for both of us. In April I one girl who went out of her way to give her ID to reception when concierge wasn't available. Whoever holds the ID gets a good tip from me.
