Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Tomasb;1645290]I am coming to Bangkok for two months starting in January 2015. Looking for a one bedroom or studio near Soi Cowboy with nice pool, furnished, and general amenities (wifi, a / see etc).

Any suggestions where to look?[/QUOTE]I'd suggest Citadines 23 in Sukhumvit Soi 23. It has a small pool on the top floor and it is not much used so is very quiet most of the time. My fantasy is to bring a girl to the pool in the evening and make love to her under the stars in the middle of Bangkok.

After all that planning about finding 4-5 star near Nana, I ended up booking Banyan tree.

This is because my thai girlfriend wants to stay in "Hotel Moonbar" damn it.

Hotel has pretty solid reviews and rating on tripadvisor but 5-6 km away from all action.

I will be alone for only one night when she visits her parents.

I am wondering whether NEP / Cowboy girls will come this far.

As to traveling 5-6 km, I can't answer whether a Nana or SC girl would do that. I suspect though those who are trying to turn a few short-time sessions during the night (generally the better lookers) would be disinclined.

Never tried them before but better to use them now because of zero risk factor.

On the other hand, I'd never take gogo girls to my hotel if my GF is going to stay there as well. You never know how discrete (or not) those reception girls are. An unfortunate slip to the tongue can happen quickly.

Hey all,

I'm planning a trip with a couple of my buddies who have never been to Thailand. We're planning on rolling with about 6 or 7 guys. I have some hotels in mind near Soi Cowboy and Nana plaza. Ideally, we'd like for everyone to fit in two to three rooms. Here in lies the problem. I know that if we want to bring girls back, we could do so however if you're already staying with 1 guy in the room, then I heard there would be a charge.

We're looking into renting an apartment through airbnb. But I'd like to get something near the heart of Bangkok and nothing too far away from the party locations. What are our best options?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Grand President on Soi 11 has 2 bedroom suites with 2 baths. They also have 3 bedroom suites. Most of their 2-3 bedroom suites are in Tower 3. The suites all have a separate living room for all your friends to relax. They have refrigerators, safes, washer dryers in the room. Excellent location for BTS, Nana, Soi Cowboy, Beer Garden, Dr. BJs, late night discos on Soi 11, and Thermae. Western grocery store, 7-11, currency exchanges and lots of restaurants are on Soi 11 also. Four minute walk to Sukhumvit.

Looking for something comparable to Motel 6 for under 1500 baht relatively well situated. It doesn't have to be nice, but reasonably clean is a must. Last time I stayed at grand president, which was fine but a little off the beaten path. How about Dynasty Inn for BKK?

You misunderstand the situation in Thailand my friend. You pay the same for a hotel room whether you stay one or two persons there. So you don't have a problem unless your scared to sleep alone. Enjoy your trip.

Dynasty Inn in Pattaya is even better.

For those who are Accorhotel member's there is a good sale starting for stays between 15 December 2014/08 February 2015 where the rooms are 40% off PLUS breakfast. The lowest price room is $106 including taxes. The breakfast at the Sofitel is great. I am speaking of the Sukhumvit location not Sathorn. Must book by 28 November.

If you are not a member one gets 30% off and no free breakie.

Other hotels in the Accorhotel system in BKK, such as Novotel, Pullman are on sale too.

SL.[/QUOTE]And at that price, is grossly overpriced for the quality it (fails to) offer.

The rooms are clean though, but that is the only good thing I can say about Nana Hotel.
