    Not in the the location you are asking but try Admiral Suites in Soi 22. Book directly with them for about 1300 baht a night for a large studio or 2200 for a 1 bedroom.

    I'll leave a few recommendations here instead, just in case someone else wants something similar one day. As these restaurants tend to be very small I'll also give the instagram link in case you want to make a booking. First recommendation would be Kuma No Yakitori on Soi 47 in Thonglor area. There's a lot of competition for good Japanese food in this neighbourhood and standards are generally good so just exploring Thonglor and seeing what you fancy isn't a bad idea but this place has still been worth repeat visits despite need to be booked in advance as it's tiny, https://www.instagram.com/kumanoyakitori_bkk/?hl=en In Ekkamai I'd recommend Tori Tama and Torisawa 22, both are on Soi 63. Torisawa is my current favourite but again it's a tiny place that needs booking in advance. A small group of us had a memorable but very drunken meal there last time around so I'm a little bit embarrassed to return but when next in Bangkok the food will be worth dealing with that. https://www.instagram.com/toritamabangkok/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/torisawa22_bkk/?hl=en The streets around Ekkamai have plenty of other good options too. The area around Phrom Phong and Soi 33 is also good for Japanese bars and restaurants but my experiences have been more mixed than a bit further up Sukhumvit. Maybe it's just bad luck because I've picked at random when going to 7 Heaven BJ bar nearby (worth the trip in itself btw) or other similar dens if iniquity. One place that I like a lot in that area though is Unatoto. I've just about sneaked it onto this list as it's not a place for skewers, it's a casual unagi/eel restaurant but at least they're still grilling stuff so I'm happy to cheat a bit. It's good value and very busy but even if there's a queue the wait isn't normally bad. Overall there's plenty of decent Japanese food in BKK. As a result it's probably the cuisine I eat most when wanting a change from Thai and it's rarely been bad even when it's places I wouldn't bother returning to - mostly due to the competition on offer nearby. If you see a random Izakaya that looks busy, it'll be good.

    if you wouldnt mind sending a pm I would love that. Especially if its reachable by BTS I don't mind going quite a ways. Its more the places that require a car where I might get stuck in traffic that is not worth my time because I'm coming on such a short stay. Thanks!

    nice man thanks, gives me an excuse to go down there and have a drink at Vesper again!

    No recommendations, but Thaniya Road in Patpong, right next to the Sala Daeng BTS station has a large number of Japanese restaurants. At night, there are a number of clubs with attractive women lining the streets. IIRC, this area caters to Japanese businessmen.

    The best and most varied/specialised Japanese food in Bangkok can be found a little further up Sukhumvit from Nana in the Phrom Phong, Thonglor and Ekkamai neighbourhoods. It's only 2-4 stops on the BTS or a fairly short walk to the area around Soi 33 especially while the weather is cooler. As a rule, you can get okish Japanese food in Nana, better around Asoke and it improves as you get further up Sukhumvit where there's a large Japanese influence particularly between Phrom Phong and towards Thonglor where there's loads of different izakayas of various types. It's well worth exploring this area and seeing what appeals to you if you're really looking for the good stuff. I can recommend a few places in that area if it's not too far as it seems like you're interested in the better options.

    Just got back from Beijing where they have fantastic skewers as well as Japanese Izakaya with skewers of all sorts. If I want to find a great one with a wide selection please let me know, cheers

    Have they restarted the building work at Chuvit Garden opposite the hotel, that put me off booking there as there could be a lot of construction noise?

    Sorry I can’t speak for bringing LBs back to any of these hotels (usually book a cheap hotel for one night if I’m doing a LT with LB, sets better expectations than pulling up to luxury 5 star hotel). But I’ve had no problems with bringing normal, non-p4p Thai girls back to the Park Hyatt or Rosewood. Both are my two favorite hotels in Bangkok. I don’t think the locations of the Park Hyatt or Rosewood are that bad for mongering. Easy enough to take the BTS down at the start of the night and a tuktuk back at the end of the night. I’ve only stayed at the Waldorf one time. No problems bringing a p4p Thai gg back. But I don’t like the location of the Waldorf.

    Eleven hotel on soi 11

    Tsloversweden81 replied to Danum99's topic in Hotel Reviews

    I will stay there from 18th to 24th and this sounds very promising. I finally was able to convince my girlfriend to stay close to where everything’s happening in Bkk :-)

    chigurh replied to daviddawkins's topic in Hotel Reviews

    If you will be staying for a length of time the hotel should be happy to swap the twins for a double.

    Four Points by Sheraton, Soi 15

    Unavowed posted a topic in Hotel Reviews

    I had a good deal on this hotel when I booked early, about a 20% discount compared to the other Marriot hotels that I stay in. It is of course in a great location, especially to CIB and an easy walk to Cindy's too. The room was spacious with a good layout, the bed and the bedding very comfortable (and a good size for company) with decent storage and a desk area too. No additional sofa like you find at the Mercure on Soi 11 though. The bathroom had a bath but nothing supplied to add to it, the shower was small and awkward to get into and with a fixed head which was annoying. The sink plug didn't work either. The gym was basic, but not the worst (dumbells only and up to 50lbs) and the swimming pool small. I didn't bother with breakfast or go to the bar. It does have a good cut through out the back to Asok station which was useful. Overall, I think this is a pretty average hotel for the price and compared to other (comparable) Marriot hotels. I didn't really take advantage of the location to bring LBs back (only twice) so others might value the location more, but I think you can get better value elsewhere. I won't be back and will stick with Phrom Phong or Chit Lom in the future.

    I have stayed there a few times, it is guest friendly. Just know that they are strict with your guest leaving their ID at the reception.

    Park Hyatt is the most convenient but getting back there in traffic sux that road that runs thru Sukhumvit is hell. But as already suggested Hyatt Regency is good and much better location

    Hi there guys. Going to visit Bangkok in Jan and after some advice

    I used points to stay at Park Hyatt about 2 years ago. It is your typical Park Hyatt, very very nice but a bit snooty (the guests, not from the staff). It's about a 20 minute walk down to the heart of the LB triangle or get on Ploenchit BTS for 1 stop to Nana which will take almost the same time after going up the stairs, buying a ticket, go up the stairs to the platform. just miss a train and waiting a few minutes for the next one. Like all International branded hotels they are guest friendly with no judgement You have to walk through the middle of reception area (desks on both sides) to get to the elevators and most times I walked through there were loads of guests loitering around. Staff never said anything, didn't ask for id from my guest but you definitely got some stares from the other guests but who cares. When I stayed there was some sort of economic forum on so the hotel was full of many Thai officials and international business people on a junket. If you looking to use/earn Hyatt points then I recommend Hyatt Regency Sukhumvit (half the price), which in my opinion is not your typical 'Regency' much better! And the best location on corner of Soi 13.

    All 3 are undoubtedly excellent hotels but as you probably know aren't ideally located for mongering so if that's the primary reason for your trip there's better options. If you're in BKK for other reasons and don't mind taking the journey to the nightlife areas then you'll be happy with the choice. If you want to spend the night in the LB bars though I'd choose elsewhere, on Sukhumvit. All 3 are well located for other things except mongering though so I'd base the choice on location and your prime reason for being in BKK. I have only stayed at one of the 3 - the Rosewood and the stay was quite brief as it was a last minute substitute for my regular business hotel and wished I'd stayed longer. It's quite likely somewhere I'll return if looking for a hotel in that area, the building itself is remarkable and the design throughout makes it somewhere I was happy to stay in more than wandering around even though it's in a nice part of town. I had a p4p LB guest there, initially for a ST but she was keen to stay all night then the next night too due to the opportunities to get dressed up and post pics on instagram. We were both very comfortable in the bars and restaurant there, even though she's fairly obviously a LB there were no issues at all as she dressed well. It ended up costing quite a lot as we ran up the type of food and drink bill that make you extremely grateful for expense accounts. They're not at all cheap there and on top of that I feel it's a reasonable expectation that your ST/LT rate will be slightly higher due to inconvenient location and the general expense of the hotel itself - she might feel it's fair to expect a little bit more. It's actually easy to get to the nightlife from this hotel by BTS, it's just 1 stop to Nana from Ploen Chit and that station is attached to the hotel so it can be done no problem even if the location itself is quite different. Getting back to the hotel can be less easy if the BTS has stopped. As for the Park Hyatt, haven't been to their Bangkok hotel but I've never stayed in a bad Park Hyatt, always excellent. No experience of Waldorf Astorias though, it'll no doubt be good.

    Since its BKK of course all 3 properties have promptly written back that guests are welcome and no fee, but just wanted to hear if anyone had experience being at any of those 3 places? I will definitely be at Park Hyatt next month and likely a quick stint at Rosewood as well.

    Maison Hotel BKK anyone tried?

    pointplace posted a topic in Hotel Reviews

    Looks like a decent hotel, I like the big tub in one of the suites, and the idea of getting their 2 bedroom with a buddy seems interested. Might give it a try next month if I do I will be sure to report back maisonhotelbangkok.com

    anal every day? how?

    Andmac replied to vevey2021's topic in Health Issues

    Feacal matter wise - you can control the food volume you consume during the day (many stick to liquid diets during the day, with a heavy meal at night once the anal work is done). Prior to the big even you also can have a wash out of ur arse, and get rid of any feaces lingering up there. The problem is you have 1-2 hour window before my feaces can then enter that region (if eg, you had a big meal and were pushing food down). It's not easy. It's why most sexually active ladyboys are thin.
