[QUOTE=Zauberfee]Actually the rates for Westin, Grand Sheraton or JW Marriott are nearer 200 $ then 100 $ per night.[/QUOTE]
That's true and I'm priced out of the market for those hotels but he said money was not an issue. I think there are so many hotels that offer a much better value now.
[QUOTE=Horntoad]I think there are so many hotels that offer a much better value now.[/QUOTE]It depends on how you define 'value'. I stayed at Sheraton Grande last week and I can assure that it was worth every penny I paid. High quality rooms, high quality amneties and for sure high quality services where nothing is to be complained about.

Majestic Grande though its not first class I know and a few blocks away the luxury of Conrads executive floors.
I dont think JW has the best reputation but location is nice.

Pricing is not a big issue as the guy who is about to "end his bachelorhood" days has given us the no-hold limit. We want to celebrate for him and may want to let him "go for it" until his legs shake (threesome, foursome,...who knows).
Hope for some advice.
Cheers

If pricing isn't an issue, you might want to consider a serviced apartment, especially if you're planning on having a lot of girls at once. The Davis on Soi 24 has a section called Baan Davis (Camp Davis), which features stand-alone, two-story, two-bedroom Thai "villas." They are exceptional in terms of furnishings - besides all the usual stuff, they include a full kitchen and even a washing machine. Great for private parties because there's room for 10-15 people at once.
Other good serviced apartments include the Emporium Suites, Fraser Suites, Omni Suites and the Centre Point properties (about five different in BKK). The Platinum Suites at the President Solitaire include a jacuzzi. The high-end suites at the Majestic Grande are also good for parties. A lesser known hotel, the Royal Ivory Nana on Soi 4, has a two-bedroom suite that is more reasonably priced but good for parties.
There are tons more. Google is your friend.

Hey Bros,
Did anyone stay one of these hotels? Are they GF?
Dma pavilion / Bangkok Palace
Thanks
Hi all,
My pal and I are going to Thailand on 29th. We are pretty excited
We are searching for nice hotels with good price. GOOd price means 50-55$ per night. I am going to stay in Bangkok for 4-5 days, then will go to Phuket and stay there for 3 nights.
I am waiting for your suggestions and comments, not only for hotels but also bars, massage parlours and so on
Thanks in advance

I believe that you are under-rating the JW Marriott. IMHO, it's one of the very finest Marriotts in the entire world, and VERY comparable in quality to the Conrad and the Plaza Athenee - two other extremely fine hotels in the area. The JW is a genuinely superb hotel in pretty much every way. If the name on the door said Peninsula or Shangri-La, or St. Regis, it would not be an embarrasment to it's siblings at all.
The quality of the service at the JW is an order of magnitude better than at any other Marriott I have ever stayed at.
I am planning my return for next year and find nothing to go against my previous selections in terms of price/location/friendliness:
Bangkok - Livingstones
Phuket - Salathai resort
I though you might have problems with that budget in BKK.

Conrad was built 2002, JW was built eleven years ago!
And because of the clientele often staying there. Those who are banned from some of the bars.
Hi
Has anyone stayed at the Admiral Suites recently? It has good reviews on TripAdvisor (most of the negative points seem to focus on the distance to the skytrain, but it looks only about 500m away).
I'm trying to decide between Admiral and Aspen Suites, but the former seems to have a nice roof-top pool.

It sure is not 500 meter away... it is way up past queen's park.. can you walk it sure but it is not 500 meter by any stretch of the imagination. I stay at an apartment up that road and I personally enjoy the walk, but don't think it is close. Aspen is nice, I had a nice stay there. These are all run by compass hospitality.
