Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=M P Lurker]I am looking for a good 4 star Hotel preferrably in Sukhumwit with good bedside mirrors for watching our own action.

This is the GF's request believe it or not. :D (she is a hotty!)

She also likes beds with good firm support so she doesn't lose rhythm and doesn't like creaky beds. ;)

I recall Barko mentioned Grand Millenium's King bed with special mirrors (and I have been there during wotif secret deals) but just checking if there is a 4 star alternative assuming GM has no super special prices.[/QUOTE]Hmm, you don't ask for much. Don't smack me around for trying. :D

There is the one bedroom executive suite at the Marriott Sathorn Vista. Pricey, yes, but in many of the bedrooms there is a big wide mirror over the desk facing directly toward the bed. And, in others, there is a full figure mirror next to the bathroom facing the bed. Now, you want to talk best beds in town? This definitely is one of them.

Personally, I like the mirrors facing the desk in the living room at the Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri suites. Get your hottie on top of that big desk then press 'record' on the video camera. Heh.

While not 4 star by any means, you may want to try the "On8" at Nana BTS, it's right next to the 'up' escalator on the Soi 8 side. A 3. 5 star, but a lot better than what you may surmise at first glance. (Better than the Citadines IMHO) Get the "Saffron Premiere" room on the back side of the hotel. Large 'floor to ceiling' mirror facing the bed, and it's very quiet. No pool, and the breakfast is very basic, not sure how important those are to you. But, the price is less than 2000 Baht per night on both Wotif and Agoda. (Agoda is 100 Baht cheaper right at this moment.) I take my Aviva massage babies there. You'll see why when you look around a bit. Beds aren't bad at all really. Give it a try for a night, the mirror is right in your face, the beds don't sing, and the location is definitely hard to beat.

Will try to come up with something better soon, lots of new Suk area hotels out there right now.

Best, B.

The Marriot sounds more expensive than the GM, and I am not so keen on Sathorn location during the coming period. Don't think the GF will like that Sathorn location either.

However the On8 sounds like a good option to consider.
She can't swim and is afraid of water, so 'no pool', 'no problem'. Thanks very much. Of course I'll take Grand Millenium if they have any cheap specials, before heading off to Krabi.

If anyone has any good recommendations for Krabi 'honeymoon' suites with 'romantic' views of a classy standard (but I am in the wrong thread, I guess). She is the romantic one, I have to fake it a little ;)
For my last trip to Krabi the room was a little bit too down market.

I am travelling to Bangkok for the first time and I need your advise for a good hotel.

Hotel requirements:

- 4 or 5 star
- swimming pool
- near to nightlife
- girl friendly

I already discovered this hotel:

Grand President
Grand Millenium
Phachara Suites

What do think about this hotels?

Another newbie question you need to do some RTFF, all the question is here is you do some reading.

Teach her how to swim, it's fun, and very sexy. For your perusal, a new place in Ao Nang, utterly fantastic. Stayed there for a week last month, the bungalows on the pool are so cool I can't even tell you. My little sweetie didn't even want to leave the place for anything. Anyway, you might want to take a look at it just for giggles (and before it's so booked up it's impossible to stay there.) Yes, it really is that good:

BTW, the pool and the center island are much larger than the pics would have you believe.

Oh, for the mirror room in BKK thing, I just found a place, check your PM.

Currently staying at the Aspen Suites.

It's on Suk Soi 2 good hotel, clean rooms, clean sheets, big rooms, clsoe to action. Big screen TV in rooms limited English channels.

Small gym and pool.

Overall good hotel to stay a short time. Not to many frills as the 5* hotels.

Hey, we all want to know. Oh OK, I do! :-)

100% GF. We will expect a report. ;)

Dear newbies (and others),
This website may help you make the right choices re hotels. It covers all the major cities in Thailand and I found it very helpful especially in places like Ubon, Ao Nang and Krabi.

Enjoy and tell me what you think

Grand Millenium is the pick of this litter. Close to Soi Cowboy and near Asoke Skytrain and MRT. It's a 5 star hotel and you should be able to book it for a good rate right now.

At 1799 wot deal I am set to book this 11-15th. The other options were to be up suk. Last time was in Furama and was completely unimpressed. LL is an option too that I am considering. What do you guys think?

If anyone is looking for a really good hotel room near Soi Cowboy and the BTS (5 minute walk at most,) with a great pool, decent breakfast, and a very light clean modern atmosphere. You'd be hard pressed to beat the Wotif deal right now at the "Admiral Premiere" just off Sukhumvit Soi 23.

Three nights, "Premiere Studio", ฿5324.00 total. That's ฿1774 per night:

Look for the "Premier Studio-Stay3 Pay2" link on that page.

This place is a no brainer, you don't need to knock yourself out looking for a hotel room with everything you need. Very quiet, it's on a nice side street, but has plenty of outstanding additional support around there in less than a minute's walk. Restaurants, bakeries, good massage joints, etc.

A big tip of the hat here to M P Lurker, as he was the first one to discover it and point us in the direction of this place. He liked it a lot, I do too, and at this price right now you could do a LOT worse!

Take a look. ;)
