[QUOTE=BMoreDog69;2364254]Thanks for the scoop on the other properties. I admittedly try to stay closer to the Lumini area for a few reasons. However, I'll keep these in mind for future trips.[/QUOTE]There is a Marriott Executive Apartment (Sathorn Vista) located in Sathorn, which is 1. 5 km away from Lumpini Park, about a 10 minute walk for me. The installations and room decor are more modern than Mayfair, but the area is basically a residential and office neighbourhood. The Sala Deng BTS and MRT station is 6 blocks away and the Patpong bars are about the same distance.
[QUOTE=Mathew1984;2364283]Any hotels with stable of Russian hookers? Or close to them?[/QUOTE]No Matthew, the days of stables of Russian hookers are probably finished. You might be able to find a stray over at the crappier Arab oriented hotels on sois 3 or 4. The CIS and Iranian gals used to frequent shock 39 disco, but I haven't been there in months and I doubt I'm going to go over there anytime soon. There are foreign girls in spa so and mix but you're going to have a lot more success if you are here long-term.
Planning my 1st trip to BKK for early Nov and staying 8 or 9 nights. My original plan was to stay at Majestic Suites near Nana for the entire trip but considering splitting time with 5 nights at MS and the rest at Oyo for Thermae action. I am questioning whether I even need to move or is MS a good enough location to hit both Nana and Thermae. Would love to know what the experts think about this conundrum. Thanks in advance for the help and for all the other advice I have already gotten.
Rob in NYC.

Rob in NYC.[/QUOTE]There is no need to move. Thermae is easy walking distance from the Majestic and since Thermae gets going later, you will probably want to start your nights in Nana or on Soi 4 bars anyway and then walk over to Thermae later. But just so you know, many Thermae girls and all Soi Cowboy girls will insist on a taxi back to the Majestic. That will cost you 65 baht or approx. $2.

Rob in NYC.[/QUOTE]OYO is a Hotel chain I think. I guess you refer to Ruamchit Plaza Hotel as that is near to Thermae.
I would suggest to keep your options open. It is hard to tell for newbies, what places you will really like. Like Natty and myself probably do not take many girls from Thermae where Asian guys do.
Try to stay flexible so you can try a wide variety of things and change your plans when necessary. Many guys would also like to spend a few days at Pattaya.
Anyway, first trip not wise to have very fixed ideas of what you will like and do. Go with the flow.
Majestic Suites is probably slightly lower standard and cheaper but is popular. So popular that I have not managed to get a booking for many years, at short notice. I probably stayed there 25 years ago. Ha ha.
Can anyone confirm this hotel is Green. Also is there any pathway directly the their club XS from inside the hotel.
I'd like to ask you again if the "Travelodge" is girlfriendly or not. I know that the question has already been asked here but unfortunately I didn't find an answer here.
I have the same question about the new "eleven hotel".
Can one of the gentlemen here help me?
[QUOTE=FreakyMango;2367955]Can anyone confirm this hotel is Green. Also is there any pathway directly the their club XS from inside the hotel.[/QUOTE]Hi,
I had stayed in this hotel. It is always green. In fact all the hotels in Sukhumvit area especially star hotels are green.
Bhaskar.
[QUOTE=FreakyMango;2367955]Can anyone confirm this hotel is Green. Also is there any pathway directly the their club XS from inside the hotel.[/QUOTE]Not sure what makes a Hotel "Green" exactly, or was that a misprint. Better not to use strange euphemisms. Pullman does not have much vegetation in my memory. I was there with GF when it was called Grand Millenium.
Club XS appears to be inside the Hotel (6th floor).
There are two hotels on Soi 11 with similar names. One is called Eleven Avenue Suites and it has been there for some years. It is close to Sukhumvit. There is a new hotel being built with a sign that says Eleven Hotel. The new hotel is actually a complete renovation of the old Grand President Tower 3. The new hotel is across the street from the old and still functioning Grand President. It is on top of the German restaurant.
Based on what I saw in August, Eleven Hotel would not be open yet. The term green means it is good to go. On this forum it would mean that it is good to take girls back to the hotel.
I agree it would be nice to avoid using slang. The same goes for initials / abbreviations. There are many times reports have initials I don't understand.
"Green" is the term used in the Dubai and middle east threads for girl friendly. I. E. Green light = good to go. I picked up on this reading the dubai thread recently for an upcoming trip.
Almost every hotel in Bangkok along sukhumvit between soi 1 - 100 is girl friendly, book for double occupancy and should be fine.

I mean the new hotel which is across the "Grand President".
I am personal totally fine with the "green", "yellow", "red" terms. I know this already from the Dubai threat.
Sorry to correct you. OYO (On Your Own) is budget hotel room booking website similar to booking dot com or agoda or hotels dot com etc.

[QUOTE=Manfield04;2368785]Sorry to correct you.

Just thought it was a not a hotel when the guy mentioned staying at the OYO. I guess (note guess) that several Hotels are linking up with this term OYO somehow. I see Agoda and [URL]Booking.com[/URL] etc. Are advertising certain "OYO" Hotels, so that makes it look like a chain or franchise system, more so than a web site, to the casual observer. However I don't claim to know any details really.
