General Reports

Its expensive, the rooms are not very luxurious, the location is poor in terms of traffic........and thats why they have to "market" it all over the forums in attempt to try to drum up business.

They prefer to "latch" on to newbies who might not know Bangkok, and then rip them off, as such, with their overpriced offerings.

Far better hotels on Sukhumvit, nearer to the action and with far better rooms, all at cheaper prices......

But then, its anyones choice to stay there if they want to.

Yes you moron, and in spite of your infantile and inept attacks, I shall be staying there for the third year runnig.[/QUOTE]Eat once there thai food. Fried rice a simply thai dish. They charge. If memory is right about 180 or 220 250. Yes this is overpriced. Yes the food overall is overpriced. But this is normal practice at some hotels here. At amari watergate they charge a cheese burger with french fries 380 baht.

Just posted on Annie's thread, but thought it worth repeating. It made me laugh.

A Korean guy recently told me about the three ages of man:

Youth: Plenty of power, plenty of time, but no money.
Middle age: Plenty of money, plenty of power, but no time.
Old age: Plenty of time, plenty of money, but no power..

What a great idea!

If all the girls wore them it would make some of those early discussions so much easier! I'm planning to go and buy a few packs and distribute them next trip...

(There's clearly a debate to be had about whether kids should be allowed to wear them, but let's avoid that debate shall we?)

I am typing this report in LL right now. So far, I am underwhelm by this place.

However, I will hold my tongue (fingers?) because the day is still young.

I will keep you guys posted.

"The Wakefield MP Mary Creagh has demanded that “shag bands” be withdrawn from sale in Poundland and has raised the issue with Ed Balls, the Children’s Secretary. "

If Ed gets fired from his job as Children's Secretary, he might make a great moderator for this forum.

She is not a stunner but very friendly. I got to rest up because my little bro is not really up to it and she has to give me HJ than cbjtc. She was nice about it though. I need to rest up and actually do some sightseeing.

I was very amused by the story that at one school, rather than banning them outright and making them even more popular, one of the older female teachers started wearing them. As a result, all the cool kids stopped wearing them straightaway!

Here's for you cheapos, a website that find people who land at the same time as you, and go in the same direction so you can share the taxi ride and save money.

It's actually a brilliant idea and I see a lot of people will use this. Maybe not in LOS, but in countries like Paris or Muenchen, London... where taxi rates are horrendous.

I arrive and was greeted by Manager and everything was set with room number and check in was super easy. He gave me a quick do's and dont's of Bangkok to keep me safe for my little adventure at 1:30am.

Staff: is all friendly and willing to help with directions and any other question I could muster up.

Room: is very nice and bed is SUPER comfortable.

Food: So far I ate breakfast and lunch here and both meals are cooked wonderful and the complimentary breakfast is a PLUS! It is nice to see that there are Thai menu and Western food. This is great if you have issues adapting to the food here and need a slice of home.

Internet: is very fast via cable plug in or wifi, whichever you choose.

Over all in my first 24hrs. I was treated with respect from everyone and everything is great as promised. The setting here is a tropical ambiance and is a constant reminder I am here on vacation (as the rest of the world calls it "holliday'). As i took a swim in the pool and ate lunch, Giotto came over and introduced himself and gave me a run down on what to do and not to do as well and helped me narrow my search for shopping and women. Offers many choices at his bar alone but insisted on my visiting a few others. This is nice because any advice you get on the outside of these walls will be influenced by biz owners tipping the taxi drivers in order to get your confused ass in the door.

I plan to be here for my ENTIRE trip. No need to look around. Things are safe here and no worries. Sadly I do not want to stop contributing to this board so I am going to have to move here to Bangkok (any ISG discount for a 6 month stay??)

In closing, if you have not been here to bangkok or LL you owe it to yourself to check in for a few days and see what I am talking about.

Let me get a few girls under my belt and ill post a second one about all the adventures I have got myself into!!

The staffs are nice but it is hard for me to get a hold of the manager because he comes late. One thing good about LL is that at least you feel safe and don't have to worry about being scam here. The constant scams out there really take toll on me but I feel safe inside the hotel. For the food, I think because it is more gear toward the farang. I enjoy the street vendors food more and I look like a super sized thai so I blend in easier. Also the place is really quiet which is a plus in this crazy city.

Hi folks,

Recently on two consecutive nights I've picked up girls with no ID.
The first time it came to light when we returned to my hotel and the reception asked for ID. The girl didn't have a card, but produced a tatty paper thingy which wasnt accepted by reception. Having no ID worried me, so I passed...she was a looker too.

The next night, at Nana, I got talking to a FL who asked where I was staying. When I told her (Dawin) she said she couldn't go because she had no ID and instead suggested a ST room. Again, alarm bells were ringing and I passed.

Both these girls were in their mid 20's I'd reckon, so whats the go here? I thought every girl needed ID.

Cheers.

Or maybe illegals from Laos (or Cambodia or Burma but less likely).

I agree in full, LL is an island in BKK.
Pity (but really nobody's fault) there were building works nearby daytime reminding you where you are, otherwise one might even think to be in a resort in a tropical island.
Daytime life flows easily in the Lodge and right, no scam, no pushing to buy whatever.
Night time is similarly calm and relaxed in the bar, but one can find action and whatever else he wants feeling super safe about his choice of the night.
Certainly not a place for a cheap charlie, but I agree on Giotto's policy to keep it a bit exclusively or, at least, filtered by the price.
Have been impressed by the number of staff working there.
Well done Giotto!

Dont be so fast throwin her back just because she has no ID. Could be a variety of reasons and most won't affect you (unless she's a he). Usually theres another way to get her in (side/back door) or else just insist/steamroll or (heaven forbid) bribe your way in. If she has no ID she may have been passed on before and you may score for less $$$. And of course be safe, watch your shit and take no chances. Where were you staying, BTW?
