[QUOTE=Traveler1234;1455512]That's exactly what Duni was doing, pissing to OP. Just some old timer's humor . LOL[/QUOTE]Which perpetuate the feeling that much of the banter on here is that from a group of old f*rts with nothing to do and little to contribute.
No problem at all with girls at the Pen and I've brought back some real winners. I walked this one through just as she's dressed here.

Neither is near the 'action. ' Both are not g / f unless you 'partner' is smartly non-tarty dressed and both are expensive.
About the only thing you are correct on is the excellent buffet breakfast.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Jasonamo; 1455288]Hello all,
Newby going to BKK would like some advice on a hotel. I would like a good value close to the action with a breakfast buffet maybe. I arrive Aug. 22 Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]Citadines 23 in Sukhumvit Soi 23 is my favourite. It offers serviced apartments and is totally guest friendly. Nice rooms, good bed, very clean, friendly receptionists and within walking distance of Soi Cowboy. Soi 23 is full of MPs.
The in-house restaurant offers buffet breakfast but is overpriced IMHO. However, as you have a little kitchen it is easy to walk to Terminal 21's food court the evening before and get some rice soup or similar which you can warm in the microwave. Or you go out in the morning and get some real Thai breakfast from the food carts in Soi 23 near the entrance to the metro: Tasty, cheap and if you eat enough Thai food you start to smell like a Thai and the girls like that "too much". :)

i might recommend majestic grande (toured it, never stayed, but it is popular on isg, and very close to the action) , or higher up the pay scale would be jw marriott, renaissance and the hyatt (the latter is not within walking distance to nep or cowboy, but spasso is right there). i went and checked out phachara suites last night. excellent value in my opinion (recent poster says the same thing) , and in a top location. i've stayed at fraser suites sukhumvit, which is a little further from suk, but within walking distance, and very, very convenient for climax or the other discos on soi 11. there's also the grand milllenium. i've never tried their buffet, but when i stayed there i took a peek in and it looked great.
there is so much available, your budget is kind of the key to all of this.

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]I can recommend Phachara, too. If you are on a budget, for about 800 baht less per night I would go with Dawin despite the smaller rooms and over all more run down decor. The service was good when I stayed there, the Wifi worked well and the atmosphere was relaxed. Girls I'd's were checked by the receptionist. I wanted to book Heaven@4 For my upcoming trip (1300 baht per night below Phachara) but they didn't have any standard rooms available for the dates I needed.
All three hotels have the benefit of access to the Nana BTS via Soi 6 if you don't want to expose yourself to all the temptations of lower Soi Nana when going shopping.
[QUOTE=Kurre; 1454853]I stayed there in 2011. I didn't test their girl friendliness but I saw Farang / Thai-couples there so I assume you would have no trouble. The main entrance hall is a bit pompous and you have to pass the reception (which is in the middle of the hall) to get to the lifts. Rooms are comfy and ok by my standards. The BTS and Tesco are just next door. It is right by a highway ramp so airport transfer is a bit quicker from On Nut than some other parts of Sukhumvit. They arranged an early breakfast as my plane was leaving at 7 am For 1000 baht a night it is not a bargain but still decent value, especially if you need for some reason stay away from Nana / Asoke area.
For a late return from Nana or Soi Cowboy you need to get a cab or a motorbike taxi, though.[/QUOTE]I stayed at Imm Fusion a total of 5 nights and wound up moving in the neighborhood. I had a Thai girl come through every night with no problems and also heard fucking going on in other rooms which was most likely not Mister and Misses middle aged white couple. My girl did not look like a super ho, so not sure how they would react if you bring one through tatted out with her ass cheeks hanging out. In that price range I might pick the smaller, nicer Tune Hotel in Asoke and you can get way better value in that range with hotels near the airport that have free airport shuttle service but then again it could be an expensive and long taxi ride bringing a girl there. The local night market is a great place to chill out at night which you probably already know and recommend the Romancest bar near Phra Khanong BTS for a good place to hang with a girl but yes as previously stated no P4P in the area.
For a first trip you can't beat the Grand President on Soi 11. They have a lot of rooms at different price levels. Very good buffet breakfast (get a room that includes breakfast) and the location is outstanding Right in the heart of the action. Halfway between Nana and Soi Cowboy, near BTS, the clubs and restaurants of Soi 11 and 5 minute walk to up and coming Soi 7/1. Easy walk to Sukhumvit. Money changers. 7-11s and western food store are right there on Soi 11. Quit fooling around. Just book it and forget about searching for your hotel. This place has been a monger favorite for years.
For close to Annies & Nana, I recommend Majestic Grande or cheaper Dawin or Solo.
For close to Cowboy, Admiral Premier, or Silq, or Grand Millenium special deal, or very cheap budget City Lodge Soi 19. Citadines 23 is okay if you like hard bed mattressess (I do not).
Half way between Cowboy and Nana the Grand President or President Palace.
I show up to Admiral Premier with 3 girls and they don't even blink. They are used to me. LOL
Sorry for the lame posting, I've contributed to the China threads over the years though. What's the recommendation for best nuru near the Pullman G? Tulip seems pretty accessible by metro, anything closer? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Will reward all with detailed report and photos after.
[QUOTE=Paul Kausch;1455532]Bad joke. Not a nice way to treat a fellow monger. Shame on you.[/QUOTE]Oh come on. The guy never even bothered to read one iota of the forum reports. It is a no brainer where the major actions are. A few pages of reading is too much?
If the guy said that he is confused about the scene, that would be something we can all respond to in a helpful way. We are not his travel agent, are we?

My attitude is it takes a couple of minutes to give some advice, and it makes for a more welcoming introduction to the forum. I have no problem with the RTFF response. My objection is to misdirecting someone.
Also, notice I didn't give him a hotel name. I described a method that would enable him to find a hotel that meets his needs.

Most mongers probably don't know where the Pullman is. I do only because I used to live right near it Soi Rangnam Ratchathewi years ago. So suggest you find out about Nurus and work out yourself which is closer on Google maps. There is Dr. BJ's Nuru (accessible by BTS Bangkok Transit System - Skytrain), Colonze 2 (See Crystal Hotel Soi Na Thong), etc. Use Google to search. I cannot say which Nuru is good. Try a few and tell us! Not much Nuru experience in my case.
"Metro" would normally in Bangkok be referring to the MRT or underground rail which does not go to Tulip. BTS does.
Can get to Colonze 2 with combination of BTS and change to MRT exiting at Huai Khwang and walk back a bit or motorcycle.

I have made a reservation at Dawin Hotel til the 27th then I might go to Pattaya or who knows. Again thank you all for your input. If you need any advise for Costa Rica or Argentina I have been going there for years and can help. If any one would like to meet and look / drink / eat / chit chat I'm down just in box me.
