Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Phordphan; 1415477]Just FYI, the Skybar (Lebua State Tower) probably has the very best views of any of them, especially at night. The atmosphere, with the band playing, is very nice. Some might even say romantic. However, since Hangover II came out, it's jam packed with tourists. Also, the drinks will run you about $20 each, and are shit. Not "The shit," just shit. Banyan Tree's bar is a bit better, but the view isn't quite as good.

Check 'them all out, post the pix and a report here.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the update, sure, I will report back. Sorry for all the others as it looked like I am using this forum more like a tripadvisor, hahaha. The drinks are important, man, since the whole idea of the rooftop bar is just to impress the ladies and get them in the mood, so I will stick with ordering just wine then. I need to get my GF into really liking the 3 some, so my BKK trip is important for more then one reason.

OS[/QUOTE]Clearly, you've never had wine in Thailand. :D

If there is one thing more expensive than liquor, it's wine. Be prepared to pay a buttload for a decent bottle.

My GF has good taste on white, so I better to start selling some stock now, hahaha.

OS[/QUOTE]I am amazed that you have travelled widely. Given your demonstrated indecision problems I am interested in how you decided to come toThailand?

Comment has been made on wine drinking. Potential 'joiners' to your party with wife and / or GF will not be enthusiastic about being offered wine. Try good single malts.

I only like asian girls, so aside from finding a Thai / Viet girl in HK / Shanghai, it is more likely I will have better success in the ultimate source. The main problem is to explain to everyone else why I travel to the sex capital of the world. You guys count yourself lucky that you don't need to explain to anybody.

As for wine, I understand. I have seen many girls in China really enjoy fine wine, so maybe it depends on where I find the girl. I hope I don't have to use the like of Bangkok Gold Escorts.

OS[/QUOTE]Why do you have to explain a visit to Bangkok? It is a thriving international city with a vast cultural history and I doubt that more than 10 percent of tourists regularly avail

Themselves of the delights of young slim bargirls and MP ladies. I find plenty to do every day which does not involve mongering and I have been to Bangkok perhaps.

20 plus times.

What happened to the wife of a previous post?

Please, please, do us a favour and don't ask us to decide which escort agency to use!

I haven't been to BKK in too long and looking forward to going back this season. First time I went I stayed at the Solitaire (great rooms but slightly too far to walk to the bars). Last time I was there I think (can't remember!) I stayed at the GP. Actually it was in some serviced apartments behind the GP hotel itself but also belonged to the GP. Is the GP the huge one with the tailor shops in the lobby, a massive outdoor pool? On the same soi as the Solitaire but closer to the action?

Anyway, I've heard about some ultra modern, newer hotels that have been built since I was there, but not sure of the names or if they are in walking distance of nana. Any reccomendations?

1. There have been 300 posts since the end of 2012 on this thread. Not all of them specifically on hotels but there is enough information already here for you to do some research rather

Than expecting members to repeat what they have already posted.

2. Research on Trip Advisor could well yield more information that you will gather here.

3. We have had a series of posts from Mr Indecisive (poster now vanished) who was a troll; I suspect we are again going to question anyone who comes on here with an unanswerable question.

Research my boy, research.

Has anybody stayed at the Four Points Bangkok? Any issues bringing back girls?

It got great reviews on Trip Advisor.

There are so many hotel near Sukhumvit area you need do some research yourself, the one I like is the Majestic suite one block form NANA is about 100 USD a night also check with Agoda and hotel. Com they have map on the area with different price level and picture of the room.

I normally stay at the Grand President on Soi 11. With a month to go to my next trip, I was looking at the wotif. Com website to see what was being offered. There were several "mystery" deals with "5 Star" hotels on Suk. Listed around 3, 000 bt per night.

I was wondering what anyone's experience was with wotif. Com and what "5 Star" hotels it features normally. Other than the "mystery" deals, the only other prices seem to be the normal rack rate for the hotels listed on the website.

For that price, you can stay at Aloft on Soi 11. Although, the quoted price does not include breakfast. The hotel is also girl friendly.

Not sure what makes a hotel a five star, but Aloft is definitely better than Grand President. It's newer, has very large comfortable beds, and much better wifi than Grand President for my last stay.

One doesn't need to use them, of course.
