Bangkok Hotels

Four Points Sheraton on Sukhumvit 15.

I am going to Bangkok and thinking of staying here. It appears that it is fairly new. Has anyone stayed here? Girl friendly?

The one on Sukhumvit 15 is different. I don't bring ladies to my room, so I don't know about girl friendly or not. You are in a very busy area with bars and massage parlors very close, walking distance. The accommodation and breakfast buffet at Four Points Ploen Chit are outstanding, so I return every year. I suspect the level of service is the same.

Staff is on point room was always clean and 2 free bottles of water everyday and fresh towels daily. Location is perfect walking distance to everything yet still quiet to get some good sleep. I will return and I recommend it plus they also offer free tuktuk rides to terminal 21 mall if you don't feel like walking.

The best place is the Ruamchit.

I have stayed at the Samala Hotel, which is only a little bit further down Soi 15, and the noise of the motorbikes and tuktuks drving by almost all night long was driving me crazy.

I noticed lots a FL and LB right outside the hotels scoping their next client that left the hotel. I prefer little less in the middle of things short walk down soi 15 and the chill vibes the only thing with Night hotel the exterior sound proofing was great the interior not so great as nightly heard some guys putting in the work with their visitor.

I stayed in their first building a few weeks ago (Bronze room) and I agree I could hear the sound of the bikes in the street.

Then I stayed at their second building (Gold room) a week later, I think it was better in this aspect, but I felt like the difference of price between a Bronze room and a Gold one was not worth it (plus when you're staying in the second building, you've got to come to the first one for the breakfast, good breakfast by the way) .

And busy? Get to see more hotties.

[QUOTE=Omfgitzjin;3013673]+1 for night hotel. I stayed on the other side facing away from the main road and it was peace and quiet.

That 6' or 1 foot "air-gap" cuts out the vast majority of the road noise. I tend to party all night and sleep during the day, so it's my preferred choice of room.

Only issue is you need to request it from the hotel and not all their rooms have these double sets of windows. Nice hotel but their breakfast is poor in my opinion and no pool if that's your thing.

It's close to a well-known nightclub, I believe, and across the street from Thermae. I didn't have trouble bringing a girl in, and there's a hotel key-operated backdoor that opens up to Terminal 21. I like the breakfast selection, which features Thai, Indian, Chinese and Western food.

[QUOTE=OneEyedMan;3014364]Four Points Sheraton on Sukhumvit 15.... there's a hotel key-operated backdoor that opens up to Terminal 21[/QUOTE]Maybe I'm not understanding this but how?

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;3014627]Maybe I'm not understanding this but how?[/QUOTE]I really seriously wouldn't be worrying about girls being asked to sign in at reception and leave their ID. It's there to protect you nothing more. From thief but also possible psycho ladies. There are all sorts out there especially if you use the apps like TF, Tinder etc. I talk from personal experience!! I. e. Hotels keeping an eye on who is up in your room is not necessarily a bad thing.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;3014627]Maybe I'm not understanding this but how?[/QUOTE]As mentioned by OEM, the Four Points Sheraton on Soi15 has a back door which opens on Soi17. Not quite a secret tunnel, rather a short cut where you walk up the alley past Canary Massage to Soi19 and you will save some steps to Terminal 21. See pic. Enjoy BKK, AR.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Thailand for 2 to 3 months and I'm looking into renting an apartment, as I think it'll be more affordable than staying in a hotel. I'm considering places in the $300–$350 per month range, and I'the love to get some advice or feedback from those of you who have rented apartments long-term. I might make it a long term rental.

I'm curious about the rules when it comes to bringing guests, particularly women, back to the apartment. Are there any complications with having someone over for the night, especially in the types of apartments I'm looking at? I want to be respectful of the building's rules and the neighbors, but I don't want to run into any unexpected issues.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for areas that are good for expats but still affordable, I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks in advance!
