Bangkok Hotels

[TheNull1]

Got a few I'm looking at. Saw Ruamchitt Plaza reviews, is on the upper limit of what I wanted to spend but more then the location it looks to have lots of amenities.

LE Fenix Sukhumvit looks good but I didn't see any reports on it.

Ratchada 17 Place is a cheap option but to be honest this mostly came to my attention because while I was browsing incall girls a lot of nice ones were here and that would be convenient. This brings up another question, how easy / expensive is it to get around the city? Will it be a pain to visit the clubs and gogo bars if I'm not within walking distance?

Any suggestions on places to avoid or look for are appreciated. AC and internet are a must, good free breakfast is a plus. Also if you know anything that wouldn't be listed, like how Ruamchitt is connected to a freelancer bar or a place that offers in house massages please let me know.

I just stayed 4 nights at the Ruamchitt Plaza and I absolutely loved it. I had a very reasonably priced superior room on the 7th floor, which was clean, spacious and functional. The staff at the reception was really friendly and the fact that the lower floors are used for ST with the girls from Thermae was hardly noticeable. Although I did not use the major argument for this location (I. E. Taking Thermae girls to your room) it is situated at the crossing of the MRT and the BTS, making it one of the best connected areas in BKK. Of course it is also right in between Nana plaza and Phrom Pong, both in walking distance.

So: shoutout to Ruamchitt. I'll definitely be back there (at least when travelling without a partner) and thanks to the folks, who recommended it here on the forum!

When it comes to Location Location Location the Ruamchitt can NOT be beat. It's smack dab in between Nana and Cowboy. Walking distance to BTS, terminal 21 and the MRT.

It's perfect if you're looking to bring thermae girls back to your room, there's also a ton of free lancers nearby tho most in front of the hotel appear to be ladyboys not all are.

The rooms while small, and a bit threadbare are clean, comfortable, and depending on what side of the building you are on can be quiet. The pool on the roof is nice to soak in and usually empty.

I have only 2 gripes on the Ruamchitt. The price of the hotel has increased a bit since the covid times, and also the availability of rooms has become an issue as the place tends to be booked up. I've stated in a few other places nearby but none of them are quite as good as the Ruamchitt. The staff is friendly and usually has no issues checking me in early on my day of arrival.

I couldn't recomend them more.

Is it okay to stay at a hotel immediately to the left of nana plaza or to the right of asok / terminal 21? Looks like too major roads on each side of them. Would it be a big deal to stay right outside the roads? Thinking of the carlton on the right or the phoenix chit to the left.

From the Parinda Hotel to Nana Plaza is 800 meters and an 11 minute walk, according to Google Maps.
I love the Double Tree, even though it's pricy. Great rooms, great breakfast buffet. How is the breakfast in the Parinda? It doesn't seem to have a buffet, does it?

Double Tree breakfast was absolutely a treat! But too much money for my budget. Parinda is just tables in the lobby and a short menu.

Random comments:

Benchakitti Park is a great place to get some exercise. I enter from Soi 4, then exit to Soi 8. Soi Sukhumvit 6 cuts through at Kasalong to get back to Soi 4.

Swan laundry on Soi 4 does loads for 100 Baht per Kilo. My 3 Kg bag cost 300 Baht. Nice. Pack light and pay to have it laundered.

Brainwake serves up a decent breakfast for 200 Baht.

Soundpop on Soi 8 does not have any vinyl records (their website makes them out to be a record store vibe) but it does serve the best Latte I've had in Thailand.

I prefer Kasalong over Lolitas. Kaslong has a sink to wash your package before and after.

Fargler.

I have stayed at the Bless Hotel & Residence for 3 nights recently. Sukhumvit Soi 33, near Phrom Phong BTS station. Had a Premier Room including breakfast for 2900 Baht per night.
The room was nice and spacious, clean, and in good condition. The bed was rather hard but it was doable, because I always bring a sheet from home, so I can sleep on top of the duvet. Sleeping under the duvet is too warm for me, unless I set the air condition to an 'arctic' temperature.
The shower cubicle was rather small, and the water pressure was weak. Wifi was steady and fast.
Unfortunately the couch in the room was uncomfortable, because it was too deep. I had to put 3 small pillows behind my back to make it somewhat comfortable.
The breakfast buffet was OK. Nothing special and not an awful lot of choices, but good enough for me.
Some noise from a nearby (karaoke?) bar at night, but it wasn't too loud so it didn't really bother me.
It's a five minute stroll to the nearest Starbucks, and there are many food options nearby, in particular right across Sukhumvit Road in the EmSphere Mall. But the restaurants there are often very crowded, and not cheap.

Parinda is on Soi 4, easy walking distance (6 minutes?) to Nana Plaza. Room is just as nice as the Double Tree, and a lot cheaper.

Are they guest friendly with no fees?

Yes, they are.

Hello,

I'm planning my first trip to Thailand. I will be in Bangkok at the beginning and the end. My idea was to stay at Grande Centre Terminal 21 first for asok / soi cowboy and then the other stay at the Landmark more near Nana Plaza / Asok. Are they guest friendly with no fees?

Parinda is on Soi 4, easy walking distance (6 minutes?) to Nana Plaza. Room is just as nice as the Double Tree, and a lot cheaper. I paid $70 per night and it is well worth it. Pics on the web are identical to what you get. Room is squeeky clean and the staff take off their shoes before entering your room. Big shower, room safe, electric tea kettle, fast interwebs, comfy couch. I brought my Roku and hook it up to the TV so I can stream from my laptop.

The front of the hotel faces the frontage street (Duang Phithak) but you can walk out the back and use Ulit alley to get to Soi 4. Boss Suites is right there too.

At first I saw it on Agoda for $52, so I came and checked it out. When you actually try to book the room on Agoda, they add some shady Fee ($10 per night?) that they will refund you 60 days AFTER you leave the room. Seemed pretty crappy to me so I just paid Parinda. I'm not as sensitive to price as some.

Soi 4 has everything I need. Laundry services, food, 7-ELEVEn's, freelancers, taxis. And most importantly its just a quick walk from there to Kasalong and Lolitas (my favorite activity). There is a gaggle of Rwandan Freelancers South of Nana. Quite shapely. The "Why Not" ladyboy bar makes for fun people watching. Irish Pubs and English pubs for football and full English breakfast, any time of day.

Would stay again.

Fargler.

Just curious, did you take any photo (s) of your room which you could share? Or do you think the photos on their website are up to date and accurate. I'd a bit worried that the rooms in reality are a bit run down or shabby compared to any brochure photos? The rooms look spotless on their website. Interested in your opinion after staying there.

The rooms are a little run down, you can see the wear on the furniture. But the walls are freshly painted and it's clean and the bed is good, so why would I care about a scratch on the table?

No need to impress anyone with the room.

Also I wonder, if you are trying to hook up with girls say on TF, does the fact you are staying in that hotel put them off at all?
Thanks.

I haven't tried to invite anyone from TF to my room, but if the FLs from Thermae are ok with the place, why should the FLs from TF not be?

I'm coming to BKK shortly and am booked at the Centre Point hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 10. Does anyone know what their policy on bringing girls to the room for a couple hours is? I don't expect to nightly but maybe once or twice during my stay.

[Mari1256]

Just checked in, and I am perfectly happy. Of course do not expect 5 star luxury. But, spacious room, clean, good bed, excellent bathroom, quick wifi, good pool, friendly staff, ok some noise from outside on the 6th floor. But at this rate, I had a lot worse in BKK, and arriving from a dump in Vientiane, couldn't be better. And the basement is OK as well, very, very busy tonight.

Looking for suggestions for a month-long, probably two months, stay in Bangkok. I'm not looking for stars or anything fancy, just very affordable and reliable high-speed internet is a must as I'll be working remotely during my stay. Prefer vicinity of Nana or somewhere along Sukhumvit where I can easily catch a train to get around.

The Atlas Hotel seems to fit the bill but I don't recall seeing any reviews here on it. https://atlasbangkok.com/.

Any intel?
