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

Bm Ari is spot on , this lady( pattaya based ) opened my bank account last year as a non resident for me , She does all the paperwork / legwork with the bank and immigration etc etc , and is a mine of information …

Are you member of the Pattaya Forum Dhana ? There is a trove of information in the Pattaya forum - as it should be, many expats or would-be expats in this forum - about the process to retire in Thailand. Just type "retirement" or "visa" in the search function/button. Or take a deep look at the "Living in Thailand" topic or in the chit chat one. https://www.ladyboyspattaya.com/forum/89-living-in-thailand/

Thanks They know me at the hotel I normally book and have given me a price of 1600b for 2 incl breakfast, so not bad. Grand Business Inn. I do like the staff there. Always get treated well. Not the "grandest" hotel around, but very convenient to everything and doesn't wear the girls out during the walk from Soi 10. Doesn't have a pool which is a drawback. That price for the Mercure is good.

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. ,

Update on this after a recent stay, I was in the building with the reception, you do not need to go past reception just turn left when through the main door and free access to the lifts, so guests arriving own their own or if you are bringing someone back don't even get noticed. Rooms are spacious beds are huge i was on the 14th floor over looking the pool area, Huge Glass window, safe in room, good shower plenty of hot/cold water and good power , location just off soi 11 is great no noticeable noise although i wasn't an early bedder so couldn't comment on noise levels between 10.00 & 03.00. Very Clean and tidy good room service, with buttons on inside to request room service or do not disturb no need to faf about with cards on door handles which some smart arse usually pulls of anyway thinking they are funny. Roof top bar is very nice, i didn't get down to the pool or use the Gym but both looked more that adequate for a short stay. I would definitely stay here again only niggles to note -small lampshade low down above the middle of the bed headboard is a nuisance kept banging my head off it and the position/height of the towel rail in the bathroom is dangerous as i cut my head on it getting off the toilet (sober) and i am off average height.

Good for you Bwana to wait it out. I just noticed they dropped as well and booked myself. Had I waited I could have saved over 3000 baht for my 3 night stay over new years. I’m going to call Accor and see if they can do anything for me for those nights. (They have a price match guarantee but I don’t meet the conditions for it). They still might do something out of goodwill though.

That’s great. Keep your wits about you and have a splendid time. Looking forward to your review.
