If you think about this properly there is no way you can get around having the stamp in your passport.
It is done for legal reasons to prove (or disprove if you like) how long you have been in the country.
 
You cannot simply ask an immigration official not to stamp your passport because you dont want to upset your teerak. :No No Tut Tut:
Well you can try..........but it will make you an object of suspicion,and it may lead to them pulling you aside for some questioning
.And Im guessing that is the last thing you want as you start your holiday.
 
Ask away......

@Pikogpatter Well Done.
 
Dont know what the issue was, but your response was great. And like you, I am just here for the fun time

Sorry guys - wasnt aware that it was so annoying. Will change my avatar in a few min.
 
Want all to have a fun time here and not get distracted by a simple avatar.

Yes i also find the flicking butterfly a tad distracting ... ( by the way , a bighairy hughjass is not a pretty thought either 5555 )

@ KLW i am not claiming to have "superior knowledge" of BKK street food or any other topics regarding BKK or LB's.
I am sharing my thoughts & experiences from my trip, just like everyone else.
Thats the whole point of this forum, encourage everyone to post what they have experienced in BKK , what they like/dislike etc
I respect what you & other BM's have to say & appreciate everyones perspective on all things LB & BKK.
 
This is after all BKK LB FORUM not ""Wikipedia"
 
cheers
 

I see a lot of questions on forums about this hotel - probably because it is part of a large worldwide chain - so I can give you a bit of a rundown.
 
Negatives
 
1. The rates are very high if you just walk in - I think 2550 baht was posted at the time I was there. You can definately get a better rate by booking in advance online - I think I paid 1250 baht. Same goes for the breakfast buffet where you can get a 40% discount by paying in advance, which you can do upon check-in.
 
2. The rooms are on the small side if you are a single. This didn't bother me at all but it may be a concern for some of you.
 
Positives
 
1. Location. It is on Soi 4 and is close enough to the action to be within walking distance but far enough away to be quiet.
 
2. New Hotel. Everything is new and in good repair. Rooms come with in-room safes, nice televisions with satelite hook-ups, and just look stylish.
 
3. Guest-friendly! The staff are very professional in this reguard, taking the ID card for your guest, which is photocopied and returned upon departure.
 
4. Ladyboy-recomended! When I mentioned to a freelance LB that I was staying here, she abandoned the idea of a short time room and wanted to go here instead. I can see why. The staff was courteous to both of us and if they thought there was something funny about me going with a LB, you would never have known it. Not even a smirk.
 
For me, this is the ideal hotel for a stay in Bangkok. It may not be for those who like more space or an upscale plae to stay but for my purposes, it is perfect.
