Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok by IHG
With the new CSR credits I guess I'll splurge a little and check out this hotel later this year. Has anyone been? Know if its guest friendly? Looks like its closer to Lumpini park not sure if that matters. Thanks. I emailed them too, waiting for response.
Parkroyal Suites Soi 6 and Citrus Suites Soi 6 Noise Pollution
PSA heads up to those who use the Parkroyal Suites Soi 6 and Citrus Suites Soi 6. The Dynasty Grande Hotel arcade space in front has become a beer bar called the Ball in Hand. I pass by fairly frequently in the late evening and this bar has a pretty awful live band that blasts the music and singing. The singing was so awful and screechy that I thought it was karaoke at first, but it is an actual professional singer. If you are staying in the Parkroyal Suites balcony rooms across the street or the Citrus Suites next door, I can imagine this would be quite a disturbance. For consideration if anyone books these hotels and prefers quiet. Enjoy, AR.
First Timer on International Trip. Hotel Question.
I may have asked a variation of this question before on a totally different thread, but sometimes when you phrase the question slightly differently and make it more open ended, you get totally different, and lot of times much better responses. So bear with me as I try to formulate my thoughts.
When choosing hotel of your choice, how close should I try and book close to where the action is, or it doesn't matter? Initially, I was trying to book [B]Hotel Maison on Soi 2 and 4[/B], which is as close to [B]Nana Plaza[/B] for a good quality hotel, but there is some real value to be had if you go a little further out. And by further out I don't mean on the outskirts of the city or anything, but just a few Soi over. Another good hotel that caught my eye was [B] Hotel Solitaire which is on Soi 13 [/B]. Not only it's a better price point but also I am told it's quieter.
Would it make a difference for GoGo girls or FLs to jump in Grab / Bolt with me and come as far as Soi 13, or would I get turned down a lot knowing how far it is for them to get back to where the action is. I will always give them more cash to get a return Bolt for them.
