Bangkok Hotels

If you could spend a little more and especially if you are a Bonvoy member, the Four Points by Sheraton on Sukhumvit 15 is a great choice. The back entrance of Thermae leads right to its entrance across the street. Took many a Thermae chick back and forth in the pre Covid heydays.

The Grand Sukhumvit is another great option, the lower street level has an entrance and takes you directly to the elevators bypassing the reception lobby and all that. Over the years I've stayed in so many different hotels including the newer Hyatt and the Landmark being renovated. However recently I've come to prefer the JW on Soi 2, great upscale crowd and restaurants albeit a bit expensive and no one cares if I were to cycle through a dozen chicas in a day. Moreover they have a great lounge for free food excellent variety and good scotch including black label and chivas 12 years which most of the other hotels will best serve you red label or something even the Dubai and So Paulo Marriotts.

I have personally gravitated toward staying in the Phrom Phong BTS area based off my experience last year. Copious amounts of western hotels at fair prices, the them malls, and easy access to Asoke. Doubt I will ever stay in Asoke again.

The main issue concerning your upcoming BKK visit since you are booked in a hotel with business colleagues is; will you mind or be adversely affected if your mongering lifestyle were discovered by company colleagues. I would not take the risk if the answer is yes or a possible yes. Therefore, if I were you, I would play it safe and book a cheap hotel like the Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel next door to Thermae on Sukhumvit. This way you could hit Nana and everything else without the risk of discovery.

I made a compromise with myself and since I am staying for 19 days in Bangkok I am staying 3 nights in the Eastin Phayathai. It just looks so great, I can't resist. The Rest I am going to stay in the Okura Presitge and the Grande Center P Terminal 21.

Sounds like a plan. Have a great time!

The Grande Center Point has a great location that includes a private hotel entry / exit to the BTS Skytrain station and the MRT station is located right in front of and below the hotel as well. The Grande CP is not cheap, however, and the beds are hard. I like their 1 BR suites and the hotel swimming pool. But at this price point there are lots of solid alternatives in the same proximate area. Choose the hotel that looks good to you and is currently offering the best deal. The Weston, for example is pretty nice. It has better breakfasts and more comfortable beds, but the Weston's pool is not as good as the Grande CP's pool.

Thanks for all the insight!

Thanks!

Yes, that's what I thought, its a little bit too far away from all the action. I am currently looking at the Grande Centre Point Terminal21 and the Carlton. Both look good and have a great location as far as I can tell.

It's probably a beautiful hotel, but IMHO it is not a good location. Action central is between Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy (Sukhumvit Soi 4 to Soi 23). For you to get there either requires about 4 km of walking in the heat or a BTS ride plus almost 1 km walking. BTS is good, but it closes around midnight. I like to be close enough to walk to action central from my hotel two or three times a day. There is a lot of fun outside the zone I mentioned, but I don't know of any near your hotel.

Before you finalize, suggest you look at a map and the locations for Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, and whatever hotel you fancy.

Suk 11 road is a good compromise area in the heart of it. I ended up having to use a corporate hotel but the Aira looks real nice and was going to book it. I'the def check it out.

Hello all!
I plan on staying in the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai. Anyone know if its girlfriendly?

I also have doubts if it is in a good location for "our" needs.

The main issue concerning your upcoming BKK visit since you are booked in a hotel with business colleagues is; will you mind or be adversely affected if your mongering lifestyle were discovered by company colleagues. I would not take the risk if the answer is yes or a possible yes. Therefore, if I were you, I would play it safe and book a cheap hotel like the Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel next door to Thermae on Sukhumvit. This way you could hit Nana and everything else without the risk of discovery.

I do this a lot and in many geographies have to do the colleague juggle because an extra hotel room elsewhere is $300. Not so in Bangkok. Just get something near Nana plaza for $50/ night. Pennies to pay for your sanity.

Hello all!

Its my first trip to SEA and my first vacation as a solo man and I plan on staying in the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai. Anyone know if its girlfriendly?

I also have doubts if it is in a good location for "our" needs.

Thanks all and hopefully I can answer some questions myself in the future.

Yeah that's a horrible location for girls. There are a ton of nice hotels within 10 minute walk of Nana or Cowboy or Thermae. Just pick something middle of that meets your requirements. There are plenty.

Hi,

This is my first trip to Thailand, and I am staying in Avani+ Riverside hotel in a company event with lots of Colleagues. And stuck most of the morning till 19:00 -20:00 and need information about the following:

4. Any pointers or recommendations for laces near the hotel that I can go to in case it is not green?

Many thanks is advance.

Yes, hotel is girl friendly as reception is not on the ground floor. There's no one monitoring the elevators because there's also restaurants and bar on the higher floors. Not much mongering around that area.

1. Is the hotel girl friendly? Can I bring escorts?

2. If it is green, can a girl get up directly to the room? Do I have to go up with her?

3. What is the name of the hotel area so that I can search in escort sites (in google maps it says "Thon Buri") but I cannot find the area name in escort sites.

4. Any pointers or recommendations for laces near the hotel that I can go to in case it is not green?

Both Movenpick and Landmark have no joiner fee. You can bring guests and depending upon who is manning the reception they might ask for an ID.

Cool, thanks a lot!

[Deoxy15]

Hi. I consider one of these hotels: Mvenpick BDMS Wellness Resort, Landmark Bangkok, or Sivatel Bangkok. I haven't found any comments here. Anyone has some experience to share? Specifically, can I bring in a guest, and will there be joiner fees. Thanks a lot.
