Thank you and everyone for your suggestions. Got a place near Thermae, so good location. It's my maiden voyage to the land of smiles, both my penis and I are excited for this.

[QUOTE=HorseTrader;2779737]Grab your map and find Sukhumvit between Soi 4 (Nana Plaza) and Soi 23 (Soi Cowboy intersects with Soi 23). That is "action central". Pick your favorite hotel in that area. For Bangkok rookies, I recommend Soi 11 because it is very busy and centrally located. Mercure is my favorite, though it is a substantial walk to get to Sukhumvit. Other more expensive and cheaper options are available nearby.[/QUOTE]

Anyone have experience with legacy suites (Sukhumvit 29)? Guest friendly? Any issues?

Hi Folks,

I am traveling to Bkk and looking for a budget property near the action. Short listed a few including Solitaire Sukhumvit 11, Ibis Soi 4, La petite Salil and Ambassador. What is good in terms of quality of rooms assuming all are green. Any red flags prices everywhere seems comparable. Any other suggestions are also welcome.

The rooms were not good value for money but you are at the heart of the action.

The main wing was low cost and everything in the room looked like it came from a thrift store. The tower wing wasn't bad, but always had something broken (eg. Percolator or refrigerator or a lamp or the toilet paper holder). The main reason I stopped going there was too many rude guests at breakfast, elevator, and reception desk.

I'm headed to Bangkok soon. I have status with Marriott and IHG.

I'm not sure where to even stay in Bangkok (my first time) , but it seems like for the hobby Sukhumvit is a good area.

I prefer action in AMPS or Spas to going to bars (recovering alcoholic).

Any insight on some good hotels to consider in the area? I'm not super concerned with hotel amenities but want something from where I can walk around a bit.

Most of the action is on or near Sukhumvit between Soi 2 and Soi 33. I would choose based on your budget between Aloft, Four Points Sukhumvit 15, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, JW Marriott Soi 2 and Westin Grande Sukhumvit. These are all excellent, "can't go wrong" locations.

I order only soft drinks or juice in bars. You are not required to order alcohol but I understand you may prefer to avoid bars. Be sure to check out Sois 24-26 very close to Sukhumvit Rd for massage places without a drinking environment.

According to this video, Bangkok rates up 70%.

I'm not sure that's true from skimming Agoda and Booking. Anyone on the ground have an opinion.

All these hotels are easy walking distance to many, many oily massage parlors as well as plenty of restaurants, high-end shopping malls and public transportation. Have fun!

You won't know your hotel price until you actually make the reservation. I've been traveling about Thailand for over 3 week and some hotels are surprisingly cheap and others are surprisingly expensive. I had 2 short stays at the same BKK 4 star and my second visit was 30% cheaper than the first. In some hotels the weekend rates are different than weekdays. Holiday prices may come into play. Right now I'm on an island resort and my room is 10% cheaper than it was February 2020.
