Thanks a Lot Mumbai Guy for your valuable advice.
[QUOTE=MumbaiGuy;1742876]Almost all hotels on Sukhumvit between soi-2 to 23 are guest friendly. Select any hotel based on your budget. Search on any good website such as agoda, cleartrip or [URL]booking.com[/URL] for details and reviews on hotels.[/QUOTE]
Anyone know if there are noises of buildings under construction near Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 8 NOW?
Thank you.
[QUOTE=Breadman;1745695]I used Agoda and prepaid my hotels using my credit card, I'm sure you could buy a [b]prepaid card[/b] at home and use that to prepay the hotel. If you stay in smaller hotels that don't offer dining or minibars there's no reason they'd need a credit card. My hotel in Pattaya didn't have either of these and never asked for a credit card.[/QUOTE]Do you happen to know if one can buy a prepaid card anonymously, I. E. Cash down and without leaving a paper trail? (The NSA probably would not allow it).
[QUOTE=DaddySan;1746189]Do you happen to know if one can buy a prepaid card anonymously, I. E. Cash down and without leaving a paper trail?

You'll lose a few bucks off the bat for the fee and then the foreign exchange fee that's going to be added when you use Agoda.
If its on ya I missed it. Has anyone used Asoke Place for short time with Soi Cowboy go gos? Recommended?
[QUOTE=Turgid;1746525]If its on ya I missed it. Has anyone used Asoke Place for short time with Soi Cowboy go gos? Recommended?[/QUOTE]Not for a long time, adequate hotel, but the stairs up to all floors are wood, so no fire escape, but OK for what you want.
[QUOTE=AussieDoug;1746535]Not for a long time, adequate hotel, but the stairs up to all floors are wood, so no fire escape, but OK for what you want.[/QUOTE]Thanks mate. I think its 300 B for 3 hrs, will give it a try and report.
[QUOTE=Turgid;1746525]If its on ya I missed it. Has anyone used Asoke Place for short time with Soi Cowboy go gos? Recommended?[/QUOTE]Sure heaps of times. Specially good if you want to take two or three girls at same time. Price increases slightly for the extra towels. Has air con. Fine for a quick fuck. Warning though, on a busy night they may try to restrict you to 1 hour. I therefore prefer non busy nights or sometimes take girl there early like 7 PM before the busy periods.
I have stayed multiple times at Majestic, Grand President, Royal Asia Lodge, etc. But have some good prices for two hotels that both have pools and fitness centers, but don't know if they are visitor friendly. Anyone with experience at the Nanatai Suites or SM Grand Residence on Soi 4?
[QUOTE=Turgid;1746596]Thanks mate. I think its 300 B for 3 hrs, will give it a try and report.[/QUOTE]No that is wrong. You won't get much more than an hour on a busy night. Although I am sure I have had longer when I paid extra for 2 girls. During the day they may give 3 hours for 300 Baht, I don't know.
[QUOTE=Garoto;1746106]Anyone know if there are noises of buildings under construction near Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 8 NOW?
Thank you.[/QUOTE]Stayed last month at the beginning of the Soi and walked to the end a couple of times and no construction activity around Citadines.
[QUOTE=Abb8912;1745536]Nice hotel, sound proof may not that good, but choose a higher floor room will be better.
Girl friendly hotel, that time they dint' take ID from ladies, not sure now.[/QUOTE]Getting a cab into that narrow lane might be a bit of a problem especially if you plan on shopping around and returning with large bags very often.
Or go past Soi 11 on Suk and enter the sub Soi from the main road.
Otherwise great location and guest friendly.
Stayed at Grand Swiss on Sukhumvit soi-11 for 3 nights last week. The Grand premier room was nice, spacious. The hotel staff was very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Lot of restaurants in the viscinity.
I was a Soi 11 guy for the past 10 years, but it's lost its charm for me. If you love the hustle and bustle of night life, Soi 11 is great. But, it's become a bit too crowded for me. I always stayed at the following hotels and recommend all three:
1) Grand President. Pros: great location, girl friendly, decent weight room, nice staff, discount at The Old German Beerhouse, liked the royal suite with a separate living room area, loved listening to the birds in the Ambassador, they never mess with you and I have had some crazy parties in my room, the price is excellent, good breakfast.
Cons: Elevators are painfully slow; the rooms are old and need refurbishing, the staff was better in the past IMHO, the elevators are painfully slow;.
2) President Solitaire: Pros: Girl friendly, there is a Jacuzzi tub but it's overrated, the location is quiet, staff has always been good, pool is good, elevator is fast, interesting neighborhood, very quiet.
Cons: Far up the Soi, the gym is poor, breakfasts are not as elaborate as Grand President, the rooms (suites) have an odd layout;.
3) Frazer Suites:
Pros: great rooms and bathrooms are outstanding, good staff, Above 11; girl friendly but I have sometimes brought 3 ladies with me and say "one is my wife, the other her sister, the other her cousin" and they let me pass. Great management; super fast elevators, I mean they zoom!
Cons: Q Bar can keep you awake; long hike up Soi 11, more expensive than the prior two hotels. Breakfast is average, Grand President is the best; WiFi is spotty.
Last time stayed at Grand Mercure Bangkok Asoke. With promotion price I payed 2000 bht via Agoda. Big living room with sofa and TV / stereo and large outside area. Kitchen area, laundry machine, bedroom with TV, large bathroom with shower and bath, 2 toilets. All in walking distance of Soi cowboy, terminal 21 and asoke BTW / mrt.
