Many thanks.[/QUOTE]I have to agree I am from the US also traveled to BKK 2012, and 2013, for me Airbnb is the way to go, have your own apartment (at your own risk) but there are MANY places near Sukumviet close to all the good Sois.
I'll be back in May staying at my normal studio condo (3/ yrs in a row same owner) with safe box / doorman / pool / wifi / GF friendly (your condo) soi 13 for $40 USD a night.
I like having the kitchen and I am comfortable with simple amenities unlike what you get at a 5 star hotel.
This particular one has housekeepers that come daily. Message me for information.
Perv On!
[QUOTE=Tmackly;1705783]Try using Airbnb. [/QUOTE]Since AirBNB places are usually privately owned, are they usually girlfriend friendly? I see some ads even say they are near Soi Cowboy or Nana.
If anyone could PM me or post here some girlfriend friendly AirBNB places near Soi Cowboy or Nana (or in Pattaya) that would be great. Not looking to spend more than 2500 baht per night unless it has in-suite laundry or is too nice to pass up.
[QUOTE=MilesToGo;1704067]Stayed here for a couple nights. Can recommend based on value at 1500 b if booked directly thru their own website.
Right across from bumragard hospital, maybe a 10 min walk from promchit sky train. Up soi 1 a little bit dark but quiet at night. No noise issues. Was upgraded to a corner room. Bed comfortaable, tea & coffee in room. Np with any guests visits, will take ID's.
Mtg.[/QUOTE]Had me puzzled for a moment. Phrom Chit is a small soi near soi 39.
BTS station is Phloenchit pronounced like plern-jit.
I stayed there for 4 nights recently.
Reasonably modern hotel, I had a suite with a nicely sized bedroom, a good king-size bed, an additional room with a desk & chair. Bathroom was big & nice, separate tub and shower.
Facilities were ok. The beds around the pool tended to fill up though.
A bit of a trek down Soi 20 which I didn't mind at all, with very easy access to Soi 22 - no need to go all the way up to Sukhumvit first.
Girl friendly. If you bring a girl then you can take the elevator straight to your floor. No need to stop by the reception at 4th floor.
Recommended.
Stayed there for five nights last week.
Got a big suite with a small-ish balcony.
Nice and quiet. Little traffic in this part of Soi 19.
However the AC was at times quite noisy.
Bedroom had a big king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom / toilet / shower.
The living room had a couch, TC, small dining area, full kitchen, and even a washing machine. Very convenient to be able to do laundry.
The suite was good enough. Although the suite did seem kind of "empty" - there was little in terms of decor. Not much color, not much art on the walls. Very bland.
The pool on the top floor did not have a bar, although you could ring for "room service".
Very girl friendly.
Did not try their breakfast as I prepared my own breakfast in the suite.
Very firm bed. I prefer the Sheraton beds. They are just the right softness for me.

Plain with no art is fine for me. Beds are not hard compared to some other Hotels. Firm yes.
Breakfast is good chef cooks good food.

Starwood is offering discount on all their properties at Bangkok, valid for booking till April 18th.
Cheers!
I am coming next week to BKK. Done a bit of research and it seems that my interests would point me in the direction of Sukhumvit. Is there anyone that could recommend a good, cheap, cozy and safe place to rent for 4-5 nights? Any good deals? I am not looking for luxury but I want something decent, would be willing to go up to 35-40 per night tops. It should also be visitors-friendly.
Thanks!
Mind sharing details about this place? Planning to visit in May week 1.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever stayed at the S Sukhumvit Suites? Good experience? Bad experience? I noticed its close to cowboy which is great although I feel like I paid too much ($117 Usd per night) is it worth $117 per night??

I recommend TA because it shows prices from multiple booking website, including Agoda. I also like to look at recent photos taken by travelers and read the reviews. By reading a large number of these I can get some sense of what to expect.
S Sukhumvit Suites is at an excellent location, but for that price I think you can do better. For example, I have booked 15 nights at the Sofitel in May and by applying LE Club Accorhotel points am paying US $105 per night inclusive of all taxes and service charges. I mention this because as I've previously written on this thread, you will get the best rates by signing up for a hotel chain's loyalty program and being loyal to that chain. They will match or exceed the rates you will find on booking sites; and the points you accumulate can be applied towards future room rates. You are also more likely to be offered perks like free room upgrades and free breakfast buffets. I'm platinum level in their program and have come to expect these upgrades and other perks like early check in and late check out at the Accor hotels I stay at. Accor, IHG, Marriott, Starwood, it doesn't matter. You can find chains that operate 3,4 and 5 star hotels, and have excellent loyalty programs.

They have newer ultamodern small rooms and regular rooms in 2-3 different types and prices. The regular rooms are ok. I have never paid more than $55/ night there. I think $117 is overpriced. Maybe they have a large group staying during your travel dates and only a few rooms available. That may be why they jacked up the rates. There are far better deals in BKK than S Suk at $117. Paul Kausch gets the 5 star Sofitel for less which is a fantastic deal. Read this forum for better value options.
I will say S Sukhumvit is a good hotel. Location is truly outstanding as it is a one minute walk from Soi Cowboy, Terminal 21, and the BTS and MRT. If you bank at Citibank there is a branch next door. I can't rave enough about how great the location is but it is not worth $117. You should also know it is a smaller hotel and a lot of Soi Cowboy girls don't know where it is. I love to see them smile when they see the S Sukhumvit sign and realize how close it is.
If you can't change your reservation don't worry. Stay there and enjoy BKK.
I stayed in Dream Bangkok Hotel during my trip last month. Very decent property and a Girl Friendly one. I had a lady called from an Escort Agency on one evening. They sent her to my room after confirming with me. And after she left, they called me up again to verify that everything was alright. Quite discreet.
This was my third trip to Bangkok, and in my last two trips, I have stayed at Livingstones Lodge but since it is no longer there, I chose Dream Bangkok. Very nice location too.
