Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=MsTeeMonkey;1759474]Hey all,

I'm planning my first trip to Thailand in January and I was thinking of getting a suite at the Sofitel So in Silom (I think that's the area it's in) The most interesting area to me is Soi Cowboy, but I'm a little worried that it would be hard to bring girls that far from Sukhumvit. Will it be hard to convince go go girls to go that far via taxi?

This may be a newbie question.[/QUOTE]There are two Sofitel in Bangkok. If you're interested in Soi Cowboy, the hotel that you want to stay at is the Sofitel Sukhumvit.

From the Sofitel Sukhumvit, Soi Cowboy is within easy walking distance for me, but any girl that you pick up at Soi Cowboy will most likely insist on a taxi or a tuk-tuk to go back with you to the hotel.

** Sofitel Sukhumvit Bangkok (closest to Soi Cowboy):

Couldn't get a booking at Phachara Suites on my dates. So, got a room at President Palace. Some good reviews on here about the place, so looking forward to a good stay. Do hope the hotel is up to par. Always found Soi 11 to be a fun place. One night after picking up some rollies at Villa, picked up a cutie from a 'legit' massage shop called Foot Joy. Mind blasting sex. But that was years ago. Will report back on the services and accommodations of PP after arrive on Sunday.

Happy mongering all!

This may be a newbie question.[/QUOTE]Newbie questions are allowed. You could stay at Sofitel in Silom, but it could be an inconvient location. Phat Phong bars are generally not recommended.

The ideal location is close to intersection of Sukhumvit and Soi Asoke. Its close to Asoke BTS Station and Sukhumvit MRT station. Use MRT to get to Ratchada Soapies. I have even taken a motorcycle to get to closer Soapies like Amsterdam ir La Belle.

Close to Cowboy. Not far from Nana Plaza and Nana morning bars. Not far from Soi 11 early massage joints. Not far from Soi 22 to 26 Oily MPs.

Column hotel Soi 18 has spectacular views from Long Table bar. Grand Millenium is even closer to Cowboy, not that it matters that much. Many other good choices. I like Grand Mecure Soi 19. , and for good budget hotel the Mermaid is quite new and good value. For a posh hotel the Sheraton is close. A Sofitel is also close as someone else wrote.

Girls doing short time from bars do not like to waste time travelling long distances in traffic. Silom is a bit out of range if traffic is heavy.

Staying in Silom would be a mistake unless you have a very good reason. I did stay there recently but only because I was crazy about a girl living in Sathorn so was convenient for her.

Hello all,

Sorry if it is newbie question, searched a lot but couldn't find a post suggesting Girl friendly hotels near Bang Na or BITEC.

First visit out there.

[QUOTE=Raju1974;1759026]How's the review about Hotel Nana, the oldest and located at the heart of action zone. I saw nobody recommending it.

I know it is bit old, but as the saying says 'old is gold'.[/QUOTE]Hi,

I booked my Hotel Nana visit for the November,2015 Bangkok vacation. This will be my first time staying at Hotel Nana. I have stayed at Majestic Suite, Maxim's Inn and I check Inn Soi 11/1 in the previous trips to Bangkok. I used Expedia services to book the reservations. Of course, Hotel Nana is well known for its location at the heart of Sukhumvit entertainment district and a value at $41 USD per night including breakfast for two and a G. F. Hotel. I will have an up dated report on this Hotel Nana later.

First visit out there.[/QUOTE]You can stay at Bang Na but I would not. Stay close to BTS and use BTS to get to Bang Na and motorcycle or walk to attend BITEC in Bang Na not far. You will have a much better time staying close to the mongering action and less concern about being seen by colleagues if any. Don't use a taxi in rush hour like other writer suggests. You could end up in bad traffic jam. I am sceptical about 25 mins from upper Sukhumvit unless its 2 am. Could be bery slow in rush hour.

I once stayed very cheaply near Punnawithi BTS for 2 or 3 weeks at less tham 1 k per day but was too far to take girls for ST unless lives near On Nut.

I make assumprion that you might want to play up every day and not just once per week.

I began in Bang Na, because it was close to the factories and work related activities. But so far from all the rest. There is some activities in Bang Naa but not as good as in Sukh. So I changes my mind and moved from Bang Na and now stay in Soi 18-22. That give me easy access to highway / expressway. And the fun stuff.

But the downside is the traffic situation. But then again you have to make a priority.

[/QUOTE]Novotel Bang Na is dfinately GF, most other hotels in that area too.

Lot's of nice club and nightlife venues at Bang Na Trat Road and Srinakarin Road. But these are no places for farang, so you better speak thai if you want to get a girl there.

If you are indeed a first timer I'd rather stay at lower Sukhumvit area.

FYI.

I got an email from Amari. They have discounted 30% off rooms.

Book by September 30,2015.

Stays thru November 30,2015.

Use promo code. 30 PctOff.

With discount, regular rooms $45 a night without breakfast.

With discount, regular rooms $53 a night with breakfast.

I looked at this hotel before and read a couple of reviews saying there is a 1000 baht joiner fee. Is this because they booked the room for 1 person and not for 2 people?

If no joiner fee this seems like a great deal located close to NEP.

Has anyone tried bringing 2 girls to Hotel Mermaid? I tried emailing the hotel, but am getting a somewhat confusing response. It seems they charge 750 bt for "an extra bed" for a third guest. I am not sure why they do not understand that I do not need an extra bed!

He only checks the ID's and writes it down and I can't remember if they hold the girls I'd or not. They do call you when the girl leaves. I don't know how he would know if you booked for one or two.

I get to know the "man" that evening before I go out by saying Hello, and how are you and have never had a problem. I palm him 50 baht.

There is no extra charge for booking for 2 and I think their website default booking is for 2. I usually book the room with breakfast as they do have an extensive buffet with unlimited coffee. Also if I have a girl stay thru morning they generally love the breakfast.

The location is good, across the street from Food Land and coming out of the hotel to your right is a small laundry place. Further down is a number of massage places.
