Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=FruitNinja; 1549264]Will be in BKK in a few days. Looking at the Aloft on 11 and the Park Plaza on 16 Ratchadapisek Road just a little off Sukhamvit. Stayed at the Park before and the hotel was fine but getting the by cab was a royal pains as they mostly didn't know where it was and then had to make a hairy you-turn to get there. And although only 500 meters from cowboy it was a major pain getting there. Anyone have thoughts on Aloft? Tripadvisor gives them both hight ratings. 4.5 Any thoughts would be appreciated. Or another hotel in the same general range 3500 with breakfast. Soi 11 would be great.

Thank sin advance.[/QUOTE]Just stayed 1 week at S15 hotel Sukhumvit Soi15, location wise better than Park Plaza and aloft (my own opinion.). Nothing to complain on the room and service.

They will call to make sure you are ok when the girls leaving. Recently there are promotion on their website, worth the $.

They have deals on their website and if you sign up to their newsletter they will let you know when they have discount on.

I'm staying at the Hyatt in mid-April for 4,200.

[quote=wolvenvacht;1548718]unless the venue has its own short time rooms, it is not a problem. usually the girls ask themselves "where is your hotel" to check if it is not too far away. thai ladies do not really like to walk far. my thai gf always says when i propose a walk "easy for you. you have long legs. we have short legs".[/quote]in reply to the original poster:

if your hotel is more than a 2 minute walk, i would suggest you take a taxi. thais are lazy to walk. if your hotel is very far away they may not want to go.

if the girl really wants to use a very close st hotel over your hotel, it can be a sign she is in a big hurry, and you will get a bad session. on the other hand it can mean she is **** and st hotel won't check her i'd card and age. rainbow 4 girls are renowned for doing quickie in st hotel and returning after less than 30 mins. plenty of crazy house girls are a bit too young. anyway mention where your hotel is before you seal the deal.

sometimes its wise to be clear how much time you are getting with the girl, if any sort of negotiation happens. don't decide on any girl too quickly. spend a bit of time chatting and having a drink first. forget any girl that wants to really rush it or who proceeds directly to the bf without delay.

I've found that MP girls are happy to walk a few blocks to my hotel. When I suggest a cab they look at me like I'm daft. Of course maybe they would look at me that way regardless.

I was going to do the Sofitel but they quoted me a date in October when I was very specific about my dates. When I called them on it they bumped the price 25% over what the website was. Not sure what the heck that was about. I'll try the S15 per Abb8912. They had a late checkout option and I have a 1:00 flight so that works just fine and it saves me an extra day. I'll report my experience. Syzygies, I would like to mention the hotel but quite frankly when I've picked a girl there's no logic with my little head. .

I tend to be a researcher in all things, driving myself crazy, with everything. If we're ever out at a gogo you'll find yourself saying something like "pick one already will ya?" In the famous words of my assistant."Jeez it's only a piece of luggage?".

Now should I hit the gogos on my last night in Pattaya or should I hit Beach Road? LOL

A business associate is trying to book me into the Four Seasons. I could use their corporate discount and get a great rate. However, poking around a little on sites like Trip Advisor, it appears they may discourage guests. Has anyone had experience with this hotel? Is there a discrete way to get women in and out, a side entrance or something? Thanks!

[QUOTE=FruitNinja;1549501]I'll try the S15 LOL[/QUOTE]Walking by S15 on some evenings and having to listen to the music, I've imagined if only that John Belushi Animal House character were there. Same with Stumble Inn with that folk singer they got.

Thought I posted this but it doesn't show up. Here's a quick repost.

Four Points is a Sheraton property and I have always had good luck with them. It's a 1/4 block off Suk on 15. Very good location for what I do. Walking distance to Cowboy and Nana. The rooms are decent sized. Mine is a standard king, about 38 sqm. The breakfast is very goo. Great selection and lot's of it.

The wifi is the best I've had on this trip other than Tokyo. The air-condition actually has a temperature setting that works. And it's not directed over your bed so it's relatively comfortable. The staff is courteous and helpful without being in your face.

Girl friendly and they do not check IDs. So you're on your own. Use common sense with your belongings and make sure the girl is of age.

Other than a small mixup with breakfast being included of not it's a very nice place. The manager was very apologetic for the mixup and comped me two breakfasts. I'll stay here again unless the Sofitel down the street has a special.

If this is a priority book somewhere else. Majestic Grande on Suk Soi2 is excellent and very liberal.

Thanks Trimein
