Giotto's Lodge in Bangkok

[QUOTE=Giotto]- Alternatively: There is NO other place like Livingstone's :), but some other hotels are mentioned in the Hotel thread. S15 might be an option, or Majestics Suites. [/QUOTE]

I think that the Product at Livingstones is good, comfortable & practical but as Giotto said, there are also a few good hotels that offer similar style accomodation (same price range).

What is invaluable about Livingstones is that for Someone from ISG, you can sit down with the owner (or meet forum members) adn discuss your Hobby freely. Ask for advice and talk about pretty much Everything "Thailand".

Can you do this in any other hotel in Bangkok? No way!

[/QUOTE]NicFrenchy,

Next time when you come here I will eat your balls for breakfast :) !

OK, OK, there are some other good hotels in Bangkok. BUT NOT MANY :) !!!


Giotto

Checking calender...NO!


Giotto, really looking forward to staying with you on the 8th. My friend and I are arriving on a late flight (12:05 am) so is it possible that some action will still be around for us?

I know the bars close at 1, and we will probably be pulling in around that time. What goes on around there at that time?

Hi Giotto

Look forward to meeting you in person, Should be there by9:00am on the 26th. (depending on traffic). I am looking for some assistance for another hobby of mine DIY audio perhaphs we can chat on that too.

See you soon.

Actually my post was about the fact that Livingstones, on top of being a great product, was UNIQUE in the sense that people like us (readers of ISG) can feel at home, proud of our hobby and not shy to talk about it openly with you and other guests. :)

Actually - I understood it that way ... :)

Merry Christmas!

Audio? Are you looking for the best screamers?
I'll probably see you at check in tomorrow as I should arrive about the same time. Traffic should be not so good! LOL

My GF is one of ther biggest screamers, but probably won't be volunteering her services.

[/QUOTE]WestFLA,

Please send me a PM, name and arrival flight data - will see whether we can motivate some ladies to stay longer that night. We do this sometimes, when customers arrive late.

Anything planned for bringing in the New Year, arrive back again on Monday and it would be nice to know if you have something planned for that evening

Giotto will have some better advice than me, but I'll chip in what I know since I was there a few weeks ago. Soi Cowboy and Nana plaza will be closing by the time you guys get settled into LL, but there will be plenty of girls around. The quality of girls generally gets worse as the evening progresses though. I also don't know if you guys are young or old, like to be wild or are more level headed, so I'll throw out a variety of options for you to consider and look further into.

If all you want is a shower, a massage and some full service before bed, you can get that at Jack & Betty's. Facing away from LL's entrance, the sign for it is across the street and to the right (perhaps 100 meters). They'll let you in if you get there by 1AM. They might have 4-5 girls available. There are other places that will send a girl to the hotel if you call ahead and make reservations.

For a drink and maybe a bargirl, theres Renoir across the street. They're open til 2AM. Personally, I didn't care for it that much. Girls aren't that attractive (to me).

Spice Club is close by and open til late in the morning. It's an after hours club with loud music, alcohol and plenty of freelancers and part timers looking to score. Any cabbie should know where it is. It's ridiculously easy to hook up. Just find a table for yourselves and take turns walking a circuit around the place. A girl will usually latch on to you before you finish your loop.

There are a couple of other after hours places you can go to as well that's quieter. Do a little research on the Thailand boards and you should be able to get some good information.

If worse comes to worse, you can always walk down Sukhumvit towards Nana and the infamous parking lot there. Plenty of streetwalkers along the way too. Just watch out for the ladyboys and DEFINITELY use protection.

Enjoy your time. Be polite. Keep an open mind, but don't let your brains fall out.

Cheers,

You can also let Giotto or Auntie know you are arriving later and ask if some girls might stick around. At least in the past, some girls were happy to hang around a little longer then normal if they knew folks were coming in. But maybe things have changed.

And with the current situation I would expect at that hour the transit time from landing to the Lodge to be pretty fast... easy immigration, easy traffic, etc... So I doubt they'd be too late getting into the lodge.

[/QUOTE]Jay Dee,

Any time. Just ask at the front desk for the boss.

[/QUOTE]Fox Two,

No, good advice ... I just misunderstood the question a bit. There are of course many options outside Livingstone's at 1 am in the night.

TT[/QUOTE]Taipei Traveller,

Of course, [b]New Year Party on the 31.12.2008[/b], directly then changing into a staff party. That means that all customers get drunk first, together with the girls, and then the staff gets drunk too. Finally a huge orgie and total chaos.

Did you expect anything else :) ?

A great time to land at Suwanaphuum is 5.30 AM. Straight through Immigration, wait 10 mins, arrive at hte Lodge 6.30 AM just missing the start of traffic jams. In my room for a shower and more sleep by 6.40AM to build up some energy for first Tulip session.
Had to postpone till 3PM, so could catch the very busy Nic for a chat first. Otherwise could have gone to Tulip with Centaurus. Nic was still at the lodge chatting to a Scot when I got back and was suprised my legs weren't even wobbly. I have been trying to build just a little fitness to be able to cope with sessions with the famous "Sexbomb" at Tulip.

Later had my favourite Yellow Curry Prawns for dinner with a sports bar companion, rang the bell, and supplied Belgium chocolates to "sweeten" up the girls ;)
Lost the pool game as usual but only 3:2.
