Same location as the massage shop, I assume.

Do you have recommendations for a good "massage" service provider?

I've had some good rates from wotif ([url]www.wotif.com[/url]) for this one. Concur about the suites, can be great value. Hotel is totally GF, though security will sometimes ask for ID.

[QUOTE=Fifty Fifty]Room Rates are posted on the Hotel Website [url]www.presidentsolitaire.com[/url], however in BKK things may be 'negotiable' given the present economic climate - I intend to give it a go as a 'returning customer' and see.

BTW Platinum and Solitaire Suites are around 80 m3, huge if you feel like impressing a Nana Babe or two :)

Cheers, FF[/QUOTE]if you do get a good rate let me know. I plan to be there for 3 days this week, 17-20th Dec. The rates on wotif.com seems the best plus the latestay rates which are the same as wotif. I'm planning to write them an email tomorrow and see if I can better rates. Things should be negotiable right now.;)

Update - just got feedback. The hotel is willing to match the rates on the net, Bhat3,1999

Hi Guys,

Counting down the days to my trip to BKK in about a month. Can't wait to combine work and pleasure! Have already booked a hotel in Suk area but need to be closer to the subway station at Asoke instead of down a soi. Has anyone had experience in FuramaXclusive Asoke (not to be confused with the FuramaXclusive Sukhumvit)? I believe it is just up the street from the subway station and conveniently close to Soi Cowboy. Can get a good internet rate but wanted to make sure it's GF friendly. Will definitely be bringing back some girls and don't want any hassles.

Thanks.

AF

PS have tried to seach but h ave a problem with that function since I use a proxy

They must ask for ID, this is for your protection ;)

Rates on net, Wotif, Asiatravel etc are exactly the same as on the Hotel Website. I intend to negotiate downwards :) directly with the Hotel and see what gives, however for standards, style and service a Platinum Suite takes some beating at 4200 THB all in.

Hi,

Anybody tried Royal President before?

Cheers, FF[/QUOTE]Well good luck bro. The rate I quoted was for the Premium Suite at Bhat3,199 which was lower than their website. Hope you do better and spend money on the chicks. Everything is on sale right now in LOS.

Want to stay out of the thick of things min January. Have searched and not found reports of GF for Omni or Iresidence. Any reports appreciated.

Have searched but can't find if these 2 hotels are GF.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thick of what? Sukhumvit Soi 4 is quite thick with people at the Soi entrance, including ladyboys at night.

Tourism is well depleted (below normal) and these Hotels are near mongering areas (Nana and Silom) and you want to take girl back to your room. So its not clear exactly what you are trying to avoid or what you want to be near.

I might stay in I Residence myself Jan as convenient to someone I know and to BTS.

Haven't stayed at either before but Fon Tok, I think, reported on I Residence.

In fact a quick search for
iresidence
returned this post:

After reading many hundreds of posts regarding hotels and streets, things are quite confusing still. Like is Omni GF. I'm sure these ladyboys won't cause a problem, but is that who that hotel caters to?

And the 1 report that I had seen about the I Residence doesn't necessarely confirm that ladies are welcomed. That looks like a good area to stay in from what I have gathered.

I did stay at the Silom i Residence and found it to be to my liking. It is a low-key place that feels more like an apartment than a hotel. Here's the link to their website: [url]http://iresidence.bangkokpropertyrental.com/[/url]

I paid about 2000 baht for a junior suite. I also previously stayed in a superior room and it was fine. There's a rooftop bar with a 2 for 1 Happy Hour. I'll be staying there in a few days, and then again in Jan. I found very good prices on RatesToGo.com.

A few things to note to be objective: the bathrooms are a little small (only showers) and the toiletries are fairly basic (but complete). The rooms on the Narathiwas side can be a little noisy at times. Also, they don't have blackout curtains, so bring an eye mask if you like to sleep late and earplugs if a little noise bothers you (it's not bad, though, just Bangkok).

I know this area well because I had an apartment here for the past couple of years. There's a lot to like about this neighborhood, although it does not all meet the eye. You have to get to know it a bit. The Chong Nonsi BTS convenience is tops. There are also lots of very good places to eat, a good dental clinic (Silom Dental on Narathiwas), BNH Hospital is a short walk, and Silom Rd. is close by.

In terms of girl-friendly, the elevator entry is just below street level in the parking area so you only pass the parking/security person on the way in. They were very friendly and always smiled. I only brought one woman home (every night for a week), so I don't know if different girls would cause them to take notice. I doubt it.

If i Residence doesn't work out, right across the street is a brand new Heritage Hotel. I am curious to read a review of this hotel because it looks nice, too.

Other good hotels/serviced apartments in this area include: Hotel Silom Serene, FuramaX (formally Unico Grand Sathorn), Om Yim Guesthouse, Oasis Apartments (great pool and good rates for long stay), and on Silom Rd. -- Sofitel Silom, Unico Silom, Narai Hotel, Triple Two Hotel.

I believe many Unico Hotels are renamed to FuramaXclusive
