1 hour ago, mangatanga said:The Solitaire looks like a really nice hotel. Can anyone provide feedback on their stay? How’s the walk from NEP to the hotel... looks like it’s about a 15 minutes walk.
Yes I stayed there last week. Walking to Nana is quite a hike and it would take longer than 15 minutes. What google maps don't show are the crumbling sidewalks, Indian trinket booths, food carts, Arabs families loitering, beggars, etc that you have to navigate on the way. You can take a motorbike taxi to Sukhumvit for 20 baht, and then connect whatever way you want from there. There are also cabs and tuk tuks available. If cab is on the meter, NEP would be about 50 or 60 baht.
My room was a bit on the smallish side, a mid-priced room I can't remember what is was called. However, the bed was the largest I have ever seen - much larger than a king size. I had 2 LBs spend the night with me a couple of nights and we could have easily accomodated a 3rd girl for 4 people total.
The bathroom had very little counter top space, which is something I hate. I like being able to put all toiletries on the counter top next to the sink, but I couldn't do that. The closet was tiny and there really isn't anyplace to store undershorts or socks except in your luggage.
24 hour room service is not available, which is another negative. The restaurant itself is nothing special, but the food is decent both in quality and price.
I know this comes off as a negative review, but I wouldn't have any problems staying there again. However, if you want to stay in this area at a similar price you can get more bang for the buck at Grand Swiss on soi 11 or In Residence on soi 13.
One last thing: they don't take IDs of guests, which is something to be wary of if you plan on bringing a freelancer to your room.

If you look at post #34 in this thread you will see I emailed them 3 times and they never responded, but obviously that was a few years ago. You should email them yourself and ask them about guest policy and if they don't answer you, I would consider that a red flag.

It is a prominent hotel, so you did a good deed by pointing it out. I think most guys here already avoid booking rooms in the Arab quarter for just that reason.

A hint as to the reason why they're not LB friendly can be found when you google "Grand 5 Hotel Arabs" and get 83,500,000 results.
Below is a typical review found on tripavisor.com if you need more convincing...

Searching for a new place, and the Solitaire looks very nice. But the obvious question: does anyone know if it's guest friendly? Ladyboys allowed?
Any other info on the hotel would be appreciated. Thanks!
I know it's late in the game, so Bwana may have given up on this question. I myself have a reservation at Solitaire for upcoming December trip, so I emailed them to find out their guest policy. Below is their reply. It looks like they frown on getting blow jobs in the restaurant, but everything else is a go ladyboy-wise.....
Dear Mr. *******
Thank you for your email to Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11,
The joiner is free of charge however we do require them to present and leave their ID card at reception desk upon arrival and they are not allowed to be in any hotel public area.
Should you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

So no issue with ladyboy guests then, the orange pool looksa bit weird though.
The tile in the pool is actually a rust color instead of bright orange. It looks unusual, but isn't unattractive. Last time I stayed there in February, soi 13 was under construction and was closed to vehicle traffic between Sukhumvit and the hotel. You have to travel up either soi 11 or soi 15 and use a cross street, but it's no big deal. The front desk does not take IDs of guests and they are LB friendly.

A BM wrote a review a while back, and he took some pics (click on Pajitas replied to a topic).
I have stayed there myself a couple of times, in 2016 and again early this year, and wrote a few words about it. Sadly, the only pics I took were shot the bathroom shower (see below)

The smart move is to let the LB choose a place. Chances are you will end up at a modest Thai restaurant with communal dining tables, often outdoors. It will only cost you a few hundred baht. Don't try to take them to some dressy farang-oriented Thai restaurant. The atmosphere will be uncomfortable for them and they often won't care for the taste of the food. The food is apparently too salty for their taste in the fancy places.
Afterward for desert, take them out for ice cream. They all love ice cream, and going to Swensens or wherever is always a big hit with them.
-
Just email them and ask "Can you tell me what your guest policy is? Can I have a ladyboy friend stay with me at night?" Make sure to mention "guest policy" and that the guest is a ladyboy. If they fail to answer, scratch them off your list. If you make a reservation, reserve for 2 guests (won't cost any more than 1 guest) and there is no need to provide a name for the 2nd guest.

If the question is about what seats are available for selection, on Cathay's website you can run a dummy booking and choose seats on the next screen after putting in a bogus name and contact info of passenger.
Like Dav says, you may want to look at premium economy. I flew their premium economy a couple of years ago Tokyo-Hong Kong. The seats are fairly similar to what is found on their regional business class. Premium economy 1st pic, business class 2nd pic.

3 hours ago, scot56 said:Thinking of booking a stay here. I like it’s location and seems to be a good hotel given comments made. I was wondering how discreet it is. I prefer a hotel that it’s lobby is not full of tourists and families as you walk through. Is this the case?
Almost all hotels are going to have tourists and families, but so what? If you are getting LBs out of bars, chances are you will be going through the lobby with a girl in the wee hours - not too many kids in the lobby at 2:00 am.
Besides, if some housewife from Melbourne or Chicago on holiday is mortified by the sight of a ladyboy, who gives a shit? If she lets that ruin her vacation, that's her problem not yours.
-
The lobby is small and often very busy. They don't make a habit of asking for IDs and because I knew all girls in pics very well, there was no need to stop at front desk. If you aren't well acquainted with an LB, for your own safety you probably want to have the front desk take her ID. Otherwise, just make a beeline for the elevators.
Taking 2 girls to the room are no problem. I don't know about taking 3 guests. Just make your reservation for 2 people, so at least you will be partially covered if questions arise. Good luck.

17 hours ago, pointplace said:So this trip is the trip where a gang bang is to be
thx so much for Oliver for suggesting Citrus 11, it seems just perfect with the extra bathroom, although the bedroom is a little small, but im sure we will manage
And compared to the 5 star hotels I was looking at this is less than half the price of their basic rooms, AND i get an airport transfer for free.
Looking forward to report back on my adventures
Citrus 11 is excellent value for the money. The traffic gets backed up on the soi out front, and you can often save time by just hiking down to soi 3 to get a cab there. From Sukhumvit, you can take a motorbike taxi up 11 for about 20 baht. The hotel restaurant is fine, but nothing special. Around the corner is Firehouse Hamburger (one of the best you will eat), The Australian, and other Soi 11 restaurants.
A little bonus....Below is a photo I took at Citrus 11 of Sofie a few years back, right after she got plastic jugs installed. Back then she was cute, mentally stable and pleasant to be around. These days she is none of those things, sad to say. But we sure had some fun in that hotel, LOL.

thanks guys
This website is better for pics and reviews of hotels. The pics are professional, but they were taken by Oyster instead of provided by the hotel. There are 47 pics of suites. Oyster.com beats the hell out of Trip Advisor, expedia and the others for hotel info.

Do you mean The Continent at Sukhumvit and Asok?
I have stayed there once in the past. They are LB friendly. They also don't have a problem with taking 2 girls to your room.

I have stayed at Galleria 10 twice. Mikel gets it right. A couple of things to add: The lobby restaurant tends to get overwhelmed at breakfast. It's often hard to get a table quickly and it takes a while before tables are cleaned. The wi-fi on upper floors and at the pool can be dodgy.
It's a 5 minute walk up to Sukhumvit or CIB. Galleria 10 gets very little traffic out front, so if you need a taxi to take you and your luggage to the airport, be prepared to wait 15 or 20 minutes for the bellhops to fetch you a cab.
Don't know if this is important to you, but they do not take IDs of guests at the front desk. While you don't have anything to worry about with girls from CIB or Why Not, you may want to keep this in mind if you bring in a freelancer.

Without knowing what your budget is, if you are looking for big room( suites are 55 sq m) at decent rates, you may want to look at Citrus 11 on Soi 11. The suites can be had late may for about 2100 baht. They have 2 full bathrooms per suite, which comes in handy when you bring 2 girls with you. I know One True Saxon has stayed here as well, and I think he liked it just fine.

Below are some pics from my stay a couple of years ago - Amy from Cascades showing her ass and Stephanie from Casanova showing her tits.

Just get a cheapo room at Heaven @ 4 or some such place that charges 700 - 1000 baht per night. There are many such hotels around lower Sukhumvit. There is also a modestly priced hotel across the alley from CIB on Soi 10, some BMs stay there on occasion.

i have had a lot of LBs who will not get in the chair, so if you are a TOP or looking to do that often, the chair may not offer you what you seek.
Why won't they get in the chair?

Ive had an iPhone 7 well over a year with no problems. Now it will work as it should for hours or even a day or two, but then suddenly it becomes uncontrollable touchscreen-wise. Scrolling stops, jumps between pages, normal shutoff impossible, but I can do a hard reboot, which usually fixes the problem for at least a few hours. I keep the cache clean and all updates are complete through ios 11.1.1. Any advice? I am on the ground in Bangers near Nanacan anyone recommend a good repair shop? Thanks
At Terminal 21 on the very top floor near the movie theaters there is a phone repair shop / accessory store. It's catty-corner from the movie theater and a fairly good sized place. Last year ladyboy JJ's Iphone looked like it had been through a nuclear war with smashed screen and software issues. I thought it was a lost cause, but they fixed it good as new within a couple of hours for about 1200 baht as I recall. There are also several dedicated phone shops for all of the Thai phone companies on the top floor as well.

I have stayed at Galleria 10, about 1/4 mile down Soi 10 from CIB. Mid-priced hotel with small but nice rooms. LB friendly and I am sure
most of the CIB girls are familiar with it. There is also a small hotel (it's not the hostel shown on map) on Soi 10 within rock throwing distance from CIB - I can't remember the name of it, but a BM here posted pics and a brief review as I recall.

I did find this, but don't know if it is exactly what you are looking for. Upper right corner is a "send us inquiry" link for email. I am
guessing you will have to show them certs from the UK Docs to prove that you have had the other vaccinations in the series.

In Pattaya, you may want to look at Page 10 on Soi 10 between Beach Rd. and 2nd road. Page 10 has 8 floors, all of the rooms have balconies. It's 5 minute walk from 69 Bar and about 15 minute walk to Sensations. Central Festival mall is right around the corner. It's LB friendly, and several LBs work the front desk and in the restaurant. The rooftop pool is probably 35 meters, but is rectangular and works well for lap swimming.
The rooms have minimalist decor. If you can, spring for a suite on the 8th floor, because they are nicer than standard rooms. Below is a link to Oyster.com detailing the hotel with pics, but Oyster doesn't have any pics of the suites. I took this pic of LB Ammy in one of their suites back in August 2016, when we down to Pattaya for a few days. This is the only pic I have of the suites. It also shows how Ammy screwed me in the ass during a single trip to the mall in exchange for me screwing her in the ass all week long LOL.

They hate it, as anybody who has taken an LB to Charley Brown's or The Mexican can tell you. There is a particular aversion to corn tortillas, one of the staples of the cuisine.
