Ok so I know this in the Bangkok forum but I thought it might be useful to post a hotel review of a place in Pattaya for those who are interested.

For the size of the room, the cleanliness etc the place was pretty cheap I thought. Below are the standard rates but was a bit cheaper online.

 
There is a 2000THB deposit when you checkin, to be honest I had completely forgotten about it when I checked out and they reminded me which was nice.

It was very ladyboy friendly, I only ever took one at a time and there was no fee.
 
The room service (food) was ok and it was close to all the action on Soi Buakhao. There are frankly ladyboys everywhere in this area.

There is a laundry directly opposite the hotel (it was cheap enough but not as cheap as the one on soi 4, Nana that charges per bag instead of per item).

You get a couple free bottles of water each day, and if you get up too late for room cleaning they leave fresh towels and more water outside your door.

There are a couple of convenience stores nearby, as well as a Tesco and TT Exchange place.
It is actually hard to think of anything negative.

I didn't use the pool so can't comment on that but looked good.




 
Shower is electric but was fine:

 
I stayed in two rooms at the hotel and both had a balcony with a table, chairs and ashtray that could be taken outside(I don't smoke but useful if you have a ladyboy that does).

 
No mini bar but coffee...


 
Free Wifi was fine.

 
Safe was big enough for a laptop:

The fact there is a KFC is good useful information for some board members. Do you have something useful to contribute as in: where is there a better restaurant that sells fried chicken, closer to the hotel, for less money and open at the same or longer hours? If so then please post it. Maybe some of us will try it and feedback. The nature of this forum is to provide helpful information in a respectful manner. For example, some people will find the info I have posted totally useless, but for other members it may be helpful.

I stayed at Shangrila for 3 nights with my LBGF of many years. No problems whatsoever. Was damn expensive, though. In fact, the only reason I stayed there was because my status conscious lb GF didn't want to stay at a place that would ask her for ID.

I check out on Sunday, so of course want a late checkout after the CIB party. 600thb to check out at 4pm.

Just to add to my report, my room has been cleaned everyday but there is no: please clean my room vs do not disturb hanger. Unless I go to lunch with my guest (which I have only done with Noey so far) I am typically in my room until late afternoon and the time the cleaner has come to my room has been a bit haphazard. Anyway, I just noticed this by the door!!!!! Really not sure how I could have missed it!

So as there were no deals going at Phachara I decided to try this place and am glad I did.

Described as a deluxe double no-smoking on Agoda. I am in the back building. Room excellent, to be honest everything seems brand new. Aircon great, shower hot, decent tv, couple of bottles of free water everyday. Universal plug sockets are a great idea, should be like that in every hotel. I don't smoke but the little balcony would be good if you bought back a ladyboy that did. I booked last minute on Agoda and got if for about 70usd per night, no breakfast. Convenience store right next door.

Walking distance to Chaos9, CIB and NEP. Unlike Phachara there is no swipe card required to use the lift which I guess reduces security but does mean that via reception a ladyboy can come direct to your room without having to go down to the lobby.

When a girl leaves they do the usual thing of calling to check everything is ok.

All in all a good stay so far. Maybe not relevant to a ladyboy forum but my cleaning lady is a total babe.

I have found I can always get a taxi outside the hotel, with the only slight annoyance being that if you are going in the Terminal 21 direction the driver has to join Sukhumvit from soi 6 going the opposite way and then U-Turn somewhere straight into a wall of stationary traffic you had just driven past going the wrong way. It is just as bad coming back as the driver has to come down soi 4, although there is always plenty of eye candy that way. But that is a downside of soi 6 in general as opposed to this hotel. If you walk to the end of soi 6 there is a foot bridge to take you across to the other side of Sukhumvit that is meters from CIB, so I would typically get a taxi from there or just hop on the BTS depending on where I am going.

I was there for two weeks at the beginning of May and the construction was just far away enough to not be a disturbance.
 
I included a bunch of general room photos at the start of this topic, but here are a few more photos of the contents of the room.
 
You will notice there are two aircon units, one right above the bed and one in a grill up high towards the front door. There is a sliding door between the bedroom and the aircon unit near the front door. So at night you can leave the one outside the bedroom on and close the sliding door to whatever degree is comfortable, this keeps the room cool without actually having to leave the aircon unit in the bedroom on.
 
I have included a laundry list, but I never used it, instead I used this place (60bt / KG and was excellent service):
 
http://www.bangkokladyboys.net/forum/index.php?/topic/6230-24-hour-laundry-in-nana-soi-4/&do=findComment&comment=65452
 
Regarding guest/ladyboy friendly, I took a ladyboy LT everynight and there was no charge except when I had two stay overnight LT, then there was a 1000bt charge for the second guest (clearly stated on a sign at reception).
 
The final picture is of Jersey Pub, which is on the corner between soi 6 and soi 4, it is just a regular gg bar but I found it a great place to take my ladyboy guests to for a drink and a game of pool. The girls in there spoke good English and were always friendly and chatty to my guests, it also has an ajoining door with the restaurant that sits behind on soi 4 so you can always order good food.

Here is a taxi price list that I snapped on my way back from Phachara Suites on soi 6 to the airport. It says 700 on the list but the driver only asked me for 500, I gave him 700 anyway as I already had it ready.
 
4000THB for the River Kwai/Tiger Temple looks pretty good and a good bit cheaper than what I paid from an official tour site.

My visit was in August this year. I never had two overnight, but certainly had a few well within 12 hours. The two from Cascades was a (very good) ST but they were probably only in the room an hour or less. A couple of times a CIB girl didn't leave till about 4pm in the afternoon (after an LT) and I would have a prearranged meet with another one in the evening, say 9pm after a sleep and a shower. The hotel never charged, but my pattern was not exactly the same as yours.
 
But from the Phachara Suites email:
 
Thanks for emailing them, but unfortunately, unless I am reading it wrong, this seems to say nothing about this being limited to concurrent visits only, so it sounds like you could be charged for having two girls during the night regardless of whether they are in your room separately or together. Also unclear is whether this charge is affected by the length of the stay by the girl, whether it is ST/LT.
 
One day after a day trip the ladyboy I was with came up to my room simply to collect her bag and stuff from the LT the night before, even though she was only in my room a few minutes, would this have counted as a visit within 12hrs?
 
As I say, I personally never got charged but it would be worth hearing if this ends up hitting anyone else.

During the day I have had more than one girl there a few times and they never said anything or charged me. In addition to that I bought two back from Cascades around midnight one night and they didn't charge. But I have never had more than one of them actually stay overnight. I even took two ladyboys down to the hotel pool and again nothing but polite service. So unless it has changed it seems no problem during the day but I don't know about overnight.

I like these self contained places where you can do your own cooking and washing etc.
 
Thanks for a great review Jeimii.
 
Edit: Just checking out their website. I like the virtual tour they have: http://bangkokin360.com/virtualtour/phacharasuites/003/

Excellent review Jeimii & great pics too
I stayed in the same room (Executive Suite) only $115 Aust breakfast included
Great hotel & great value, i'll be staying there again on my next trip in Nov.

Great review Jeimii, thanks so much for taking the time to take photos and write this one up.
 
I know Jimbo of C&D's stays there when he comes to BKK and has always spoke highly of it.
 
I also wanted to post this link of the thread you started asking about their safes as it may include some more info.

Seems to be their calling card no matter where they stay. If they have kids with them you can bet they will be running the halls at any given hour. I was at Aspen Suites and this small girl was in the hall and got on elevator with me and then got off at the floor below. I remember thinking how easy it would be for some creep to abduct her. You just don't see Western kids on the loose like this, but you do hear stories of them going missing.
