Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1526039]I first stayed in Admiral premier years ago when it was a somewhat unknown Hotel. It had very good prices back then. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. This hotel has become very popular. Its a good location in a way. Close to Cowboy but not too damn close. Its still a bit removed from the demonstration and not too close to Abhisit's house. Many Japanese guys are living there permanently. Tour bus loads like to stay there these days. .[/QUOTE]If they only had streetlights around that area, it would be fantastic as its very dark. One almost needs a flashlight to walk from Admiral to Soi Cowboy. And I believe Wind 23 (Condo) next door isn't being helped by that either, lot of units available there still. As for Pegasus (hybrid G Club / barfine Club) I never seen anyone going in. Entire area looks slow these days.

Some reviews of this hotel, Royal Ivory nana Soi 4.

A bunch of my friends planning to stay there.

How is the service and how is the food.

Is it girl friendly?

I have stayed there 4 or 5 times in past 5 years. No problems with hot water. The safes always worked. Getting the code done the first time did not seem to be logical to me, but the bellman was glad to show me exactly how it worked. The Deluxe room is more luxurious (in what I think is traditional Thai decor) as well as larger than the Superior room. Breakfast is good with Thai and western dishes including a made to order omelette. Breakfast is all you can eat, so if you like it, you may not need another meal til dinner. (Thai food is so good in Bangkok, I usually was tempted to try new things all day though.) It's not the Hyatt, but for $40ish it's quite nice. Yes, they do take a visiting girl's identification when she arrives (as protection for the guest) and they return it after you tell them all is well when she leaves. Depending on the weather, the rooftop pool can be a refreshing place to unwind after a long day. No services at the pool, just fresh towels, and I usually take a couple bottled cocktails when I go to the pool.

I have been staying at several hotels in the area between Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza and I have found nothing comparable to the 45 sqm suites for 1800 bath a night.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

The current 5 star mystery deals at Wotif seem to be the following:

Plaza Athenee.

Marriott Sukhumvit 57.

Anatara Riverside resort.

Grand Millennium

Dusit Thani.

Radisson Sukhumvit

Please check again for yourself!

Does anyone have a better suggestion?[/QUOTE]The Windsor Suites is on Soi 20, between BTS Asoke and BTS Phrom Phong. Reasonably convenient to Soi Cowboy and the oilies around the Emporium, but a bit removed from Nana Plaza.

Does anyone know if Windsor Suites is GF? Is it safe to assume no problem as long as you have a reservation for 2. Has anyone had experiences with 2 or more ladies as guests in a suite?

[QUOTE=Darmstadter;1530405]I have stayed there several times and I agree. What site do you use to book your room?[/QUOTE]I used the booking. Com site. Actually they charge 1877 bath a night right now, but you might find cheaper deals on this hotel with other hotel booking companies. The price goes up and down depending on availability, though.

I have never had a problem bringing girls back but I always made reservation for 2 people.

There is or was back in 2010 a nightclub / disco in the hotel and I remember one time when it closed and I was bringing one of the girls back to my room a guy was there with a sheet checking how many people were suppose to be in the room.

As long as you reserve for 2 I don't think there will be a problem.

I remember the breakfast being outstanding so I didn't eat until the eveing. One block over on Soi 22 there is some beer bars that I have picked up women before. I like the neighborhood.

[QUOTE=Bart1;1528424]Also confusing for newbies, writer in previous post calls MRT Phetchaburi "MRT Asoke" it is one and the same MRT [it is at the crossroads of those 2 street names] officially it is MRT Phetchaburi when you are in the station.[/QUOTE]You are technically correct. There is no "Asoke" MRT station. However Wolven would have been referring to MRT Sukhumvit which is next to BTS "Asoke".

When coming by taxi from afar, you really need to have located the Hotel on Google maps and tell the driver how to get there. Asoke Residence is in a tricky location off Soi 21, but if you use GPS on your cellphone, its no problem. Sirat (pronounced See-rut) expressway takes you directly from Morchit, just past Asoke and then a U-turn back to exit into Asoke from the north. Google estimates 15 mins in current traffic. Allow the taxi to go on a wild goose chase and you ended up with 1. 5 hours.

Grande Mercure Asoke Residence being in Soi 19, adds to the confusion greatly. Many people have been to the wrong one first up.

I have been told by various hotels in BKK and Pattaya that they allow only one lady guest at a time.

That's so 1980s.

So how do you guys menage a trois at hotels?

Any tips?

And any recommendation for threesome friendly hotels near Soi Cowboy area in BKK and Beach road in Pattaya?

As far as I have experienced all 4 or 5 stars hotels allow you do so.

There is mostly one general rule: book for 2 people upfront.

I booked the room for double occupancy. On one occasion the two ladies had the front desk call up to my room. Obviously the hotel didn't care. Now were it two ladies and a German shepard wearing Lederhosen, the hotel might have objected. :D
