Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Banana Boi;2859842]Maybe you travel 2 weeks in a year I am basically staying in hotels 8+ months in a year. Sure I've stayed at Intercontinental, Kempinski, etc. Priced out Kempinski for next week it's $353-$7,061 USD per night. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2859988]You were the one who asked why people have a budget for hotels so I was being nice and answered. Next time don't ask if you don't want to know.

I also answered your other question if Kempinski was girl friendly and I don't even get a thank you. Wow just wow!



I went through your posting history and the vast majority of your posts are asking for information and looking for contact info for girls. Then you call MY posts useless? Interesting.[/QUOTE]No good deed goes unpunished.

I've stayed at the Kempinski as well. It's not worth $353 a night for the low end room IMHO. In that area, I didn't think it was much if any better than the Intercontinental, Grand Hyatt Erawan and whatever it is they call the Four Seasons now, and I imagine they cost significantly less.

Sure I've stayed at Intercontinental, Kempinski, etc. Priced out Kempinski for next week it's $353-$7,061 USD per night. No sweat paying that for 14 nights at a total of $4,942 USD. Now try paying $353 USD per night for 250 nights per year. That's $88,000 USD for hotels alone. Maybe not too rich for you but certainly not what I'm willing to pay for hotels per year. Even at $60 USD per night I'm paying $15,000 USD per year for hotels plus a home base condo in Thailand or more recently Japan.

As for GF hotels, who here has stayed at a hotel near a RLD in Bangkok or Pattaya and had any issue with bringing girls to their room, assuming you booked your hotel room for 2 people. I'd be surprised to hear any hotels.[/QUOTE]Thank you for this post. I like the analysis as I have never really thought about it that way. As for the individual who has a problem with reports about Bangkok Hotels in the [B]Bangkok Hotels[/B] thread, maybe he should contribute more and keep his personal comments about quality posts such as yours to himself.

[QUOTE=Lakeside;2852310]No worries it is absolutely NO problem and nobody will blink an eye when you bring in a girl at any time of the day or night![/QUOTE]Sorry to take so long in responding to say thanks for your information.

[QUOTE=WillSmith69;2858273]Hello Expat American.

This is a very good sugestion. I like the Kempinski in other locations, so I think its a good start.

I try to get a quote, if its to fare away, I go with the Westin, as Kiso is the best Sushi place I know in Town.

So thanks for the suggestions.[/QUOTE]Might want to book via the eatigo-app then. Kisso is often there with a 50% discount.

Which among three above is better for mongering and why, please suggest.

Hey lads, wondering if I could get a quiet hotel suggestion from you guys that costs less than $100 a night.

From my most recent trip to Thailand, these are the hotels I've tried:

1. JW Marriott near Nana. Hated it. Was recommended this hotel because it was supposedly soundproofed well. That was a fucking lie. The sound of motos and tuktuks screamed through the windows and walls like they were made out of tissue paper. Wasted a little over $200 a night here for a couple sleepless nights. Restaurant on site was very good, but the most important criteria for lodging for me is how conducive to good sleep the rooms are. And the JW Marriott failed in this regard spectacularly. 4/10.

2. Novotel at Pratunam. Pretty decent. If you were fortunate enough to have a room facing the park, which would be charged at a higher rate than a street-view room, the level of noise was acceptable. Enough to get some sleep. If you were stuck with a street-view room, noise was a problem. Though not as bad as the JW. Amenities were a little lackluster. Restaurant on site was mediocre. For a little over $100 a night, it was okay but I was hoping for a better value after hearing about how great Bangkok hotels were for their price. 6. 5/10.

3. Baiyoke Hotel. Absolute garbage. Was suggested to go up to avoid the noise. Did not matter. At a room on a floor somewhere in the mid-50's, which coincidentally was the decade my room interior was probably last refreshed, you could still hear the cacophony from traffic. Room was terribly dated and just in poor shape. TV was pure static, lights were befitting a prison cell more than a hotel, the room smelled strange and stale, and the whole hotel aside from the front desk just gave a very dated and creepy vibe. Toilet and shower worked, so kudos to them for that. At least rooms weren't that expensive at $50 ish a night. 4. 5/10.

4. Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok. Phenomenal hotel, especially for a light sleeper like me. Hotel was located on a road with no outlet, so you didn't have tuktuks and motos screaming down at all hours of the day like everywhere else in BKK. Room itself was modern and stylish. TV fully functional with a good selection. Room was sound insulated well enough that I couldn't really hear anything from my neighboring rooms. Doors did slam shut with some vigor, but not a big deal. Shower and overall bathroom were clean and very nice. Cafe MoMo, the onsite restaurant, was pretty mediocre. Overall, my favorite hotel in BKK so far but it was a little pricy for BKK standards at $120 ish a night. Hoping to find something cheaper that's as agreeable for light sleepers like me, but my budget will begrudgingly accept paying $120 ish a night here again if there are no better options just because good sleep is priceless. 8. 5/10.

Anyway, my friends, would love to get any recommendations for a hotel under $100 a night that's situated on a quieter street preferably without an outlet like the Courtyard by Marriott. I realize BKK is a noisy and chaotic city, but there has to be cheaper options for those among us that cannot handle the noise when it's time to sleep.

Are all of them guest friendly do charge extra for guests? Any suggestion.

Lecherous, You've exceeded your mailbox quota so I'm replying here.

The last time I stayed at Antara Siam, it was a Four Seasons and it was before COVID. They did not charge extra for a guest. I walked in with my dates like I owned the place, and had no problems. They didn't ask them to register. But they were reasonably respectable looking women I'd pulled from Spassos bar at the Hyatt, not half dressed go go dancers from Nana. No idea how they'd handle, say, an escort who shows up unaccompanied.

About BPalacio's post, it's been a long while since I stayed at the J. W. Marriott, and sound does bother me. I don't recall noise being a problem, but I was on a high floor.

Hi guys.

What do you think of soi 26 doubletree hotel? Is it any good?

Thanks for the info!!

Take a room at the backside and on a high floor, so you are not bothered too much by the parking lot under the hotel.
Or maybe a room that is facing the pool at the center of the hotel. I haven't tried one of those yet. They close the pool at 10 pm, if I recall correctly.

Aloft, Sukhumvit Soi 11. Part of Marriott.
Take a room on a high floor (I would say 20 and up, the hotel has 32 floors) where the vibrations of the music from the night club Levels, which is located on the 6th floor, are at an acceptable level.
City view or not doesn't make any difference, because none of the rooms is facing the street. The breakfast buffet is huge, and good.

The Dawin, Sukhumvit Soi 4. Part of the Dynasty Inn Group.
This is more of a budget option, and the ONLY quiet rooms are the CORNER rooms at the backside.
ALL other rooms are noisy as hell, but the corner rooms at the backside are facing a vacant lot which makes them really quiet.
The rooms and beds are quite small though (but nice), and the restaurant has limited breakfast options. However, the adjacent Ibis Hotel has a breakfast buffet.

Hi all. Looking for hotels in the range of $150-$300/ night luxury kind of hotels that are completely guest friendly and will not give me any issues bringing in girls every night. Preferably around Sukhumvit area, so that I can pick girls from Thermae. Any suggestions?

I have deluxe suite for about $270 a night. No bar on the premises though, but only few minutes walk to Soi Cowboy.

You won't find a better location for Thermae girls for a fairly nice hotel.

(Formerly known as the Phachara Suites.).

They offer a "One Bedroom Executive Suite" that over 100 square meters. Big kitchen. Washing machine. Balcony big enough to host a party.
