Bangkok Reports

Nov. Dec. 2022.

Nothing near $90 at delphi suites.

On [URL]Booking.com[/URL].

Hahaha. More propaganda.

[QUOTE=Mogwai;2759401]I didn't know it was possible to cross Soi 21 through an underground passage. As far as I know the escalator down just after the exit from Asoke BTS station only leads to the MRT.
But I could be wrong. Where does this underground passage 'surface' on the Soi Cowboy side of Soi 21?[/QUOTE]The Asoke BTS station escalator goes down towards the MRT entrance. To get on an MRT train you take the escalator downstairs and turn left to the ticket booth and trains. Walk 10 seconds straight ahead instead of turning left. You'll find escalators that will take you upstairs to soi Asoke aka Soi 21. These escalators will drop you off on soi Asoke next to Citibank (between the Citibank and Soi Cowboy). The Asoke BTS station also has a covered walkway you can use to cross Asoke). Very convenient if you are going to Soi 23 and want to avoid Soi Cowboy.

You're clearly just a pleb when it comes to traveling.

Here is a screenshot taken just now of my [URL]booking.com[/URL] request to reserve a room.

Using the app on my phone.

One night, studio room, 13-14 December 3436 baht.

[QUOTE=KingAmir;2759272]I came to Bangkok in 2018 when insanity was open.

Today the nightclub is closed and I am looking for other nightclubs.

Do you have any good nightclub to offer me, please?[/QUOTE]Are you sure; Insanity moved from opposite Thermea (I guess from Soi 14/16 on the side of the Sheraton) to Soi 11 on the end and just before Fraser Suites probably around your last visit en today.

Happy hunting.

Hahaha. More propaganda.[/QUOTE]Stay away from that hotel, you will hate it, horrible place (555} it's definitely not for cheap Charlie's and bad attitude customers, and reservations are made by people that actually travel and not live in moms basement! Hope this helps bud! Safe travels, if it ever gets that far bud!

[QUOTE=ThaiGoodTimes;2759343]You seem to have a very loud and negative opinion on everything at Tim Timms.

It's not realistic to give prices as they vary greatly by the deals the customer can get and the time of year.

Just relax and go with the flow.

And BTW.

Adelphi Suites is currently 3400 baht or US $90 a night, not $140, at least that is my price on [URL]booking.com[/URL].

It's up there, as it is at a high season pricing right now, like all hotels.

In low season it was down around 1300-1500 baht, exceptional value.

It is recommended by me and others because even at 3000 plus baht a night it has great convenience, service, and facilities..[/QUOTE]Sounds like he will fit right inn red planet.

Same with USAsg site, you're unable to search with two words or more. Has anyone stayed at Sukhumvit Suites before? I saw some YT vids about it, but would like to know if anyone has experienced this hotel personally. TIA!

SF.

One night, studio room, 13-14 December 3436 baht.[/QUOTE]We are both right. Hahaha. On the main rate page it shows $158.

But when you click reserve the $93 rate does show up.

You should let them know, match the Calendar rate to the actual rate.

If I was GM heads would roll.

I went the extra mile and checked Adelphis Webiste. About $125.

Take it bro. Before they put correct price up.

By this point I've been in Bangkok for over 2 weeks, took some time off from the hobbying to recover. There's no way having the wonder pill in my system everyday for 2 weeks plus alcohol plus my old man medications can be healthy. Feeling ok, plenty of good food and a metric ton of tourism out of the way, I bravely plowed on with the sex for hobbying day 12.[/QUOTE]Just must say how incredible your reports are. I visited BKK ages ago, and wasn't going back anytime soon, but now I kind of want to. Tons of useful intel; hell, a newbie can build a trip itinerary from these reports. Kudos!

[QUOTE=NewtonYork;2756200]Day 11:

Had the single greatest meal I've ever had in my life. I love this place. Same chicken place I talked about on Day 10. Anyway, for today I thought I'd try something different, or at least experience a different part of town. Stopped by Thaniya and Patpong to see what the fuss is all about. Eh, it's ok. Finally found the world famous Black Pagoda. This is the very same place that was featured on a documentary about prostitution, can't remember the name of the documentary, but it focuses on the lives of prostitutes in Thailand, India and Mexico. And just the fact that the way Black Pagoda is built, a glass bridge between 2 buildings overseeing the whole area, one has to experience it at least once..[/QUOTE]This info will be extremely useful when I visit in Jan so thank you NY. If you don't mind me asking, what was the average damage for a 90 min session? I'm sure the price varied with the girls and shops.

Hahaha. More propaganda.[/QUOTE]Ray Charles, or Stevie wonder? Come on man, book a flight at least!

I just saw this one was open again.

Dynasty Grande Hotel on Soi 6.

It used to be my go to place, before covid came and closed it.

Which was when I found and moved to Adelphi Suites.

And its just 2000 baht per night at the moment.

[QUOTE=RacShack;2759682]Sounds like he will fit right inn red planet.[/QUOTE]Allow me to chime in. I have a Genius 3 category membership with [URL]Booking.com[/URL] and just checked the Adelphi rates for December 3-4. The price was $87 with the genius discounts included. This price also includes taxes and fees. Booking provides you with greater discounts depending on how much you use their app so there is a genius 2 and 3 category. If you have never used Booking, then the rate would be higher with no discounts.

I have also been told the [URL]Booking.com[/URL] buys rooms in blocks from hotels and sets the rate depending on demand. This is the reason you can no longer go in to a larger or mid sized hotel and negotiate the rates with the front desk. It's no longer there's to sell.

Adelphi comes up for under $100 in Nov and around $70 in Dec. Having said that the rates vary by day and spike on the weekends.

Hotel rates of course go up in high season which is why I go to Thailand outside of it, just better value.
