Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Sannita Sos]Can you plz tell me a good hotel in Bangkok for me, max 3000 bht for night, with free wireless access, GF and close to pubblic transportation and night life. Plz write me back.[/QUOTE]Dynasty Grande Soi 6 Sukh(Bhat2,800), walking distance to BTS. Citichic Soi13 Sukh(Bhat2,300), need moto taxi or tuk tuk(provided by hotel) to BTS.You can get to night life from these 2 hotels easily. Off course there is Livingstone on Soi 33, check the thread on Livingstone.

[QUOTE=Sannita Sos]I booked one week at the Navalai River Resort 45/1-2 Phra Athit Road, Phra Nakorn.
Anyone know this hotel? Is it good?[/QUOTE]
Its on the river but well away from the Monger action places.
O.K. for sight seeing with your wife.
But otherwise I wouldn't stay there.
I have no idea what the hotel is like but search internet to see the reviews from both extremes.

Could try Sao Botan Soapy Massage (yellow pin on Map) only a few km away.

Do a search for Navalai Resort on that Map in the top Search box.

P.S. Political shit might be going on towards that area. So again I would advise to stay somewhere else (if its not too late already), like Sukhumvit Road or Pratu Naam district. Try to get not too far from sky train BTS.

I booked on the president solitaire. Is it a good choice?

[QUOTE=Sannita Sos]I booked on the president solitaire. Is it a good choice?[/QUOTE]
Yes. Reasonably popular.

Would somebody know if The Landmark Hotel is GF? Got booked there by ma company.

Thanks for your help!

I have styayed in all 3 towers several times over the years and can confirm they are all equally friendly.
Next time in couple of qeeks time if politics so allow..
..[QUOTE=Theant]Tower 1 and 2 are girl friendly like tower 3 (better because more reserved and no walk of shame), but same service in the other towers[/QUOTE]

Landmark is friendly, however girls can not get in without you. Walk in with her or pick up from lobby.

No reports for nearly 2 weeks. I guess no one wants to stay in BKK anymore. :D
I will still be arriving BKK in two weeks undetered.
I am hoping for spectacular discount offers, instead of peak season rates, especially for the new Hotels.
I probably don't even have to worry about any advance bookings.

OK Mick...I took the bait!

I've been staying for a week at the iResidence Hotel next to the Chong Nonsi BTS station. It's a small comfortable place that's fairly new. Great location if you like this neighborhood (I do), and about a 70 baht taxi ride over to Sukhumvit. Fifty (50) steps to the BTS elevator (so convenient -- the attached picture is the view from my room!).

Price was approximately 2000 baht for a large room (jr. suite on the top floor); free LAN internet, flatscreen/DVD, free snacks and drinks refilled everyday. They have 2 for 1 drinks Happy Hour at the rooftop bar. I booked the first three days on RatesToGo and the next three directly at the hotel.

My lovely new gig's been staying with me. No questions were asked when she joined me late the first evening, (after I found her at the bar she works at). The second day I had them make her a key, and she's been with me ever since. Reception is on the second floor, but the main elevator access is directly through the 1st level garage.

Lots of massage places within walking distance. No famous "oilies" but a few neighborhood spots with very friendly ladies (if you know them already). For those inclined, Patpong is about a seven minute walk.

I've been over to Livingstone's Lodge several times. It's always nice to see everyone there and enjoy a meal, pool in the sport bar, etc. My gig, (from Udon), really liked it, although the food was not as spicy as she likes (of course, when asked, the kitchen fixed it up nice and hot).

Back to southern Thailand tomorrow. I'm happy the airport is open as I wouldn't want to repeat the 20+ hour trip it took to get here last week.

Confirmed a damn good hotel, stayed there twice in last 3 weeks and can say it is Top Quality at a reasonable price - GF too.

Also one of the few hotels I have stayed in where they supply quality condoms in the Room Mini-Bar. Ok, the charge is 100 THB for 3, but saves popping out to the 7/11 round the corner, should one find oneself unprepared.

The Hotel is quiet and easily reached via the back lane from Soi Arab/Bumrungrad Hospital Road. You can also make use of the free Hotel Tuk-Tuk to/from Sukhumvit Road, or walk 5 mins there.

Cheers, FF

What is the room rate in the president solitare?

OK I gotta question... I stay always around Soi 8 to Soi 33... rarely have I been posted anywhere else. I've used most hotels, boutique hotels, serviced apartments in this range so I know this area very well.

I need a place NOT near Sukhumvit soi 8 to 33... Could be farther up past Thong Lo or could be off a MRT stop or such. I just need a simple hotel away from the action but I want something right near a MRT or BTS stop.

I have some business associates coming in next trip and I need something away from the normal haunts.

What about the Silom area?

[QUOTE=Terry Terrier]What about the Silom area?[/QUOTE]

Thanks TT, how have you been? Been a while since we talked hope all is well.

Silom is fine, I just don't know any good personal recommendations on specific hotels in that area. If you know some you've stayed at that are decent please let me know.

I was hoping for something more then me picking a property off a web site without others recommendations. For sure I could go to many sites and find hotels near a MRT or BTS I just wanted fellow ISGers opinions or comments away from the Suk soi 4 to Suk Soi 33 areas.

If GF and daughter from Thonburi comes to stay with me and daughter has to cross the river each day to go to school, this location could be perfect for me. So thanks for the info.
I think I will try it. Previously stayed at Unico Grande Silom but this one sounds better.
