Bangkok Hotels

I am coming to Bangkok for the first time for a 3 days stay. Friends kindly suggest some good hotels with all the services available. Want to get relaxed and explore beauty of Thailand. Please help.

Have you even begun to read this forum? You might try that before asking such an obvious question. Then you might get a more cooperative response.

That is the way to approach members. Next you will be asking which of nnie's girls to choose, or which bar to go to.

FYI I am a great fan of the Majestic Grande on Soi 2. It is GF; it is open to negotiation on room rates and it is well run.

There are hundreds of posts discussing hotels in this forum. Please read them and then after having stayed at your hotel, post a report here so we all know whether it was good or not.

[QUOTE=Brandt;1776218]The Hilton website is the only one of the major chains which allows online bookings for day use (9 am-6 pm) - no need to come up with a convoluted scenario over the phone.

The rates are rather high (less than half the flexible rate), and are 'semi-flex', bookings can be canceled up to the day before the stay.

The Conrad near Ploenchit starts around THB3000++, and the Hilton on Suk 24 at 2900++. If you need to be discreet, the Conrad is a good choice as you can walk in from the All Seasons Place mall directly to the elevators, in a rather dark lobby. The Hilton has very nice rooms with a Japanese-style bathroom (shower area is the whole glassed-in area where the tub sits), but the smaller size and lobby layout will make your activities obvious. I prefer both of their basic rooms to the JW's.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the suggestions. I might try the Hilton when I come back. The fact that day use is authorized is appealing.

Bangkok Grand Mercure Asoke residence is a nice place to stay. About 400 meters from Terminal 21 so close to BTS and MRT. Big rooms with separate living room and bedroom. Nice balcony and swimming pool / sauna on top of the roof with nice views of the area.

Ohh, and I always use Agoda.com

I will be in BKK for a week later this month. Last time I stayed at JW Marriott next to Nana. I loved the JW but I heard that area may be bit of a turn off for nice girls. I have lined up a couple of nice girls that I met on Thai Cupid. Maybe I am overthinking this but a change in venue is always nice anyways.

I am using Marriott points so my other two options are Marriott Renaissance near Chit Lom station or Bangkok Marriott near Thong Lo Station.

Anyone with any insight as to which of these two locations would be better for your basic single male traveler to operate from, would be greatly appreciated.

Chitlom Hotel is only 1. 5 km walk to Nana but much further to Phrom Phong massage places, so depends what you like. Getting there by taxi is quite difficult due to traffic, one-way, and turn restrictions. Ask Google Maps for car directions from Renaissance to Nana Plaza and you might see what I mean. To avoid taxi problems, walk from Hotel and cross Sukhumvit road at Ploenchit BTS and take taxi from there to go to Sukhumvit just after Soi 3. Taxi cannot right turn into Soi 4. Cross the road yourself is easier. Or Taxi can detoir slightly through Bamrungrad Hospital to enable entering Soi 4 from Soi 3.

Even though its further away from Nana, personally I would stay in Thonglor, as closer to Phrom Phong massage places. When traffic is bad, rather than taxi, can use BTS or motorcycle for very short distances. Girls maybe more happy to go to your Hotel if in Thonglor, as slightly easier to get back to the bar from there. Late at night won't be such a traffic jam, most likely.

Of course I have no clue where your Cupid Thai girls live but they will probably use BTS so either location is okay.

Of course normally I don't stay in a Marriott at all. I like Column Hotel Soi 16, Grand Mercure Soi 19, and for budget price the Mermaid Soi 29? When the other two have no specials.

Involves a narrow alley but I have used it to get to Dynasty Grand Hotel in Soi 4.

Over many years I have stayed at the Majestic Grande on Soi 2. Maybe it is a little faded but the rooms are conmfortable, it is GF, it is near Nana, Annies, many side steet bars, MPs, and a gentle walk to Soi Cwboy. Or use the Skytrain. I find spending large sums of money for a room which one only uses for half the day (and most of that time one is asleep) wastes moneyy spent on fun.

OK it may sound good to stay in a big name international hotel and if you want that try the Oriental (Not GF) or the Peninsular (way out of the way).

I can highly recommend this hotel for it being GF friendly and central to most locations. I always stay here when in BKK, great rooms, relaxed atmosphere, great location and its not expensive. Best deals to found are on agoda.

[/QUOTE]I just stayed for over a week at the Marriott Sukhumvit 57. My situation was exactly the same as yours although I paid cash instead of using my MR points. The sky train station is a quick walk from the hotel. To Nana costs 25 baht and takes about ten minutes. I strongly recommend this hotel. Great service and excellent breakfast buffett.
