All you need to do is email (reservations should have an email address on their website) and ask if they are guest friendly: Hello - Is your hotel guest friendly? I will be having a ladyboy friend stay with me. Sincerely, John Monger Make it a point to mention that your guest will be an LB. Virtually every hotel in lower Sukhumvit is LB friendly, but a handful will charge the "guest fee" scam. Good luck.

The hotel is LB friendly, which means the bar will be LB friendly also.

Are you for real?

For a sex tourist like myself, the overall perception of Thailand is a super-duper excellent paradise, but for my ex-wife not so much. If this is for an academic study, please remember to cite my name in the foot-notes as well the references section. I love fame, no matter how small it is. Thank you.

Won't be happening unless those gals can up their game and squirt out javelins or shot puts.

Massage places in lower Sukhumvit are more common than 7-11 stores. Soi 8 has 4 or 5 legit massage houses alone. The smaller places pretty much offer the same services for the same prices (300 baht or so for a Thai massage). A good rule of thumb in finding a legit massage is to look for places staffed with middle-aged Thai ladies instead of 21 year old girls. Below is a place I frequently use when I stay on Soi 8. It's a legit place, reasonably priced. Just tell them what body parts need special emphasis and they will work on them. There are several other massage houses within spitting distance of this one that offer the same fare.

Agreed 100% I wrote about LBs and their fear of water a few years back. It's shocking how many of them don't know how to swim, even the ones from rural areas. The thread below was about taking LBs on trips, and their reluctance to go swimming was one of the things that was guaranteed to occur on most of my trips with them.

No doubt to prove to farang tourists that their Thai hotel room will not have one of these:

I stayed there back in 2019. As seen on pics below with Pao & JJ, they are 100% ladyboy friendly and you can take more than one ladyboy to your room with no questions asked. It has a funky steampunk decor that I liked but it may not be everybody's taste. The overall vibe is almost seedy, but the property is spotless and the rooms are very comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable for a mid-priced BKK hotel. It has no pool. The bar / restaurant serves cold beer and pub food on the front patio but there are better dining options right around the corner at Terminal 21 which is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The side soi it's located on between soi 19 and Asok is pretty quiet. Directly across the street is an exotic car dealer who has Ferraris, McLarens and Bentleys on display. At the intersection of the Fusion Suites soi and soi 19 is a laundry. They're good but as I recall they do not offer same day service. I don't know if there are other laundries in the area. ,

Thank you for the info. It sounds like things haven't changed much at all. I had forgotten about wi-fi issues. I remember on the upper floors, suites with bedrooms and balconies facing north toward Sukhumvit had problems no doubt caused by the distance to the modems, but if you moved to the living room or kitchen of your room the connectivity improved markedly, so that's not a deal killer. Like I said in the OP, for sex tourists it's hard to beat the combination of location and size of the suites. I have had many great LB adventures there in the past. I'm sure I have lost a step when it comes to avoiding getting my ass run over from behind by speeding moto taxis and cars while walking on Soi 6 at night, but that's a chance I am willing to take. Thanks again.

I have a trip coming up very soon and I was considering this place. I hope somebody who has stayed there recently can offer their thoughts. I stayed there many times when it was Phachara Suites and had some of my most rewarding LB adventures there with Sofie and Jam when they were new on the scene (see below) and several others. It really did offer the best combo of location, large comfortable suites, huge balconies, jacuzzi bathtubs and a quality pool. I hope things have not changed. Thanks in advance.

I have taken 2 LBs to Compass properties like Citrus on Soi 11 and Galleria 10 a few times in the past and have never had any issues.

You should be OK because the "official" CIB Christmas party is usually on Dec. 25, not Christmas Eve. However, they usually draw a huge crowd on the 24th, and many of the girls are still shaking off hangovers on the night of the 25th. t

I know exactly what you mean. I'm in hog heaven when I am lucky enough to land a balcony room at Legacy Suites that has a chair AND a table.

EVA also serves Dom Perignon in biz class, or at least they used to.
