Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Zauberfee;1823774]It's a very good hotel and GF.[/QUOTE]Thanks. I've booked there, and also at Grand Mercure. I'll keep you informed in April.

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;1823904]DCups, you are in luck. Based on the Lebua's location, you owe it to yourself to check out Patpong 2. After years in decline, Patpong 2 is making a comeback with a number of worthwhile Go Go's. I like Bada Bing Go Go the best. They have a very good selection of girls, even some busty ones for you. LOL. Electric Blu is also worth checking out as is Pink and the Strip. I would be real surprised if you don't find the right girl after hitting Bada Bing and the others I just mentioned, but if you strike out, for some strange reason, then it will be exactly the right time to head over to Spasso and Minx in the Grand Hyatt and Intercontinental Hotels respectively. But the bottom line is I think you will have a great time on Patpong 2. There is no reason to pay large for an unseen escort just because you are staying at the Lebua and faraway from Sukhumvit. I look forward to hearing all about your experience.

NB.[/QUOTE]Thanks a lot too! I've booked there for the last days of my trip in April. I'll keep you informed with reports!

Visiting Bangkok for 2 weeks for some work and looking to stay near Nana plaza (not more than 5 minutes away walking). Any advise which hotel is good? Looking to book Ibis Nana however it has a no smoking policy which I am not sure I can manage for 2 full weeks. My budget is $45-$50 per night. Any help will be much appreciated.

Seems to me that Nana Plaza is well past its hey day. In the early days, I was a Lollipop and Pretty Lady customer, maybe Voodoo a little. Very big turn over of bars lately with many refitted bars not lasting long before a complete changeover. Candyland refit was horrible (bad taste and colour) and the new bar did not last long. Many bars changed names as well. I see famous LB bar Cascade changed as well.

Old bars Billboard, Rainbow group, Angel Witch and Spanky's still going along. All fairly boring for me. Did have one good girl from Spankys in the last year or two (and also one disaster girl). I tend to visit specific girls these days in Nana regardless of which bar they have moved to. Followed one from Dollhouse to Hotlips / Candyland2 to Mercury and another Mercury girl know from Midnite. Mandarin Upstairs seemed more interesting than most bars with some natural girls of a good standard.

Any thoughts on best Nana bars and for what reason?

For example, no smoking policy is a big plus for me. You might try going to Late $tays dot com or Agoda, and you should find something.

I haven't stayed there but it is rated as reasonably good and still very cheap well under $50. Even has a pool.

It is located right in the heart of the Nana Entertainment area, on Soi 4 between Hillary 4 Bar and Hillary 2 Bar. 1 minute walk from Nana Plaza.

Can someone confirm if Amari Boulevard and Grand Swiss on soi 11 are girl friendly? And any general feedback on these hotels? Thanks in advance!

[QUOTE=Optional1;1827355]Can someone confirm if Amari Boulevard and Grand Swiss on soi 11 are girl friendly? And any general feedback on these hotels? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]It would be best to email and confirm with the hotel themselves, as then you have proof that they said they allow or not.

Generally if you are alone and book a double room with the hotel they don't have a problem with you bringing "guests".

I am going to Thailand in the beginning of Feb and before booking all the hotels I sent an email to the hotels and booked only after they replied to my mails.

Hope this helps.

FYI - The elevators in this Hotel are tiny. If you have 4 people in the elevator you will be rubbing against each other.

Suggest you try Holiday Inn Express in Sukhumvit SOI 13, they have both smokers & non-Smokers rooms. Budget I think is around $55.

~BKKguru.[/QUOTE]Tank and Bkkguru. Thanks for your inputs. I have booked majestic suites. Looks like its close to the action, very close to soi 4, and got great reviews on TripAdvisor.

Hello,

I have been booked into the Siri Sathorn Executive Service Apartments. I alway stay in that neighborhood but never at this place.

Does anyone know if they are girl friendly?

Thanks!
