Siam Man

I met a gurl at a clothing store on Sukhumvit my last trip I mentioned her in my last trip report how I walked into someone when I turned my head back to check her out after I walked by her. She laughed at me which broke the ice.In my June trip I saw her working in the same shop. She actually remembered me. So I asked her if she wanted to join me for drinks after she got off. It went well so we went out again the next night. She was getting off much earlier at 7 P.M. which gave us enough time to take in the Early Bird Show at Club Daeng Cabaret. It's the same deal 888 baht each and all you can drink Beer, Whiskey, Wine or Soft Drinks. She loved the show. I thought it was a bit shorter than the first tiem I went back in December. Some different gurls out front than I remember from the last visit. Performers out front trying to rustle customers in for the first show. Two of the performers who came out to socialize with us. Femboi Poi and the gurls and me. We were the only customers so the show was for us.

I've stayed at both within the last 6 months. i Check Inn is closer to the Nana action and CIB located on soi 7/1 is more convenient I found. i Check Inn is a smaller hotel and the cost is less. LeFenix has been coming down in price. It's located at the back of Soi 11 which isn't that far but if you try to take a gurl back in a Taxi prepare to stop and go making you want to get out and walk. LeFenix has more amenities like Swimming pool, Restaurant, and The Nest which is a roof top bar with live music. LeFenix does have a shuttle which takes right to Nana Station BTS entrance but that only runs till 8:30. More desk space in i Check Inn. I don't recall seeing computers in the lobby at LeFenix which is on the second floor. i Check has a couple and they have free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate machine where you push a button and it makes it for you. both are guest friendly, but i Check is more versed being in the thick of a pay for play area. Noise levels is where LeFenix would win out. If loud base beats bother you Le Fenix would be the better call and is a lot more quite. I have no problem sleeping through the pounding base that starts in the afternoon. i check Inn also has a ladyboy bar right next door in Sweetheart Bar which had about 4 LB's at least I noticed a week ago. Was quite funny when they would see me marching into i check Inn with one on my arm giving me the look of why not you take me? I found both good for taking in room photos.

Nice report mate. Thanks for adding a new hotel to the forum. Do you know the normal price range for them room you had?

I believe all of the I check Inn properties are new. Nana one (Soi 7/1) is smoke free too, so I assume all i Checks are. Get on the vapes.

I had read about some of those things about her so I had my guard up but an interesting thing happened during our session. I found she likes it hard and rough. Another shot just to show off the room a little more of course.

Well we have both stayed there a couple of different stays since this post. It seems like quite a few LB and GG mongers have found this sweet sport at the end of Soi 7/1. Besides Randyandy checking in the day I checked out I saw a ladyboy from CL come in when I was in the lobby. I was sitting in one of the lobbys comfy chairs online while my room was being cleaned (They work around your schedule well) and she came in and looked at me as if I might have been the customer who called her in. Guests put down their ID which they hold and photo copy. When the guests leave they sign the photo copy of their ID and the desk calls your room to see if everything is okay. I have only had a few minor issues with them. they always give me the same answer when I address them with them "We small hotel" I did have them empty the mini bar after being charged for a couple items. It was no problem as they sent someone up and cleared it out which gave me more space to put my own stock in. My advice is book online as Mardhi mentioned earlier. It ends up being about 1280 baht all up instead of 1500 baht for walk up.

Kendo may know of a setting that does this. I'm not a fan of anything moving on avatars and signatures and find them distracting from the post. Always gives me the push to skim the content instead of fully reading it.

I just went to book 4 additional nights on the iCheck Inn website and found a few promotions. I picked up a 5th night and got 20% off for long stay and they had a free upgrade for rooms after June 10th until mid July I think. Sweet deals going on right now. I didn't want to take my chances on the Hotel 7 fluctuating rates and figured for a few extra baht I would have peace of mind. http://www.icheckinn.com/

My work is never done. Strange he went back there after reporting it had gone downhill and another hotel was much better. Dynasty thread

Check out other threads in this section royboy. BM's have already started threads of some of their favorites.

Nice one mardhi! Much needed. Offers a good option for those who may not have booked ahead to just walk up and get a low cost stay/

It's what they are serving.......red kool aid comes to mind. Sadly they have many people drinking it up. I wonder how their token black newsreaders felt about that. Back on topic I fear germs on the bum gun more that the water itself.

This is a good topic and I will be moving it to Health Issues section of the forum. We also have an older thread in that section dealing with Tap Water which relates to this. Tap Water Someone told me (I sound like Fox news with no source LOL) that it's good to eat Yogurt in Thailand because it has natural enzymes and bacteria that fight the local bacteria. It made sense to me so I have picked up some when I think of it at 7/11's and family marts. Always pinch a couple when they have them at breakfast buffets at some of the hotels and throw them in the fridge.

Thanks for the update and photos. Yes it is ladyboy friendly as are most hotels in the Nana District.

Nice work apm, one of the better hotel reviews I've read on any forums. Although I've seen the property on booking sites, I had never read anything on Jasmine Suites before. The room looks great and being guest friendly for a nicer place is awesome.

Airport link to Phaya Thai to halt service for train car maintenance? http://thainews.prd.go.th/centerweb/newsen/NewsDetail?NT01_NewsID=WNSOC5704030010009 According to this article it will take a year as they service one train at a time. Typical Thai planning. I'm baffled to why they need maintenance as the system is not that old. I used the service several times in November, December, and January and the trains looked new still. I've certainly taken rides on far worse conditions. Looks like those travelling to Nana will need to go to Makkason station and take the express from there.

Some other photos of World Inn I dug up.

Looks alright. I hope the stairs don't take too much out of you. Do you recall how much it goes for? I still have 8 days to book in June.

Rooms on one side give you the view of NEP and the otherside which I have only stayed give you a view of Sukhumvit. During the day you can see quite clearly. They are tinted so at night you can't make out much beside the lights otherwise you would be able to see the alcocarts. I've seen some other photos or the rear view. The higher floors offer a better perspective. They also keep the surplus water bottles just up the top floor steps. I had to pinch some extra a few of those dry days.

Thanks for the update nightwatch. How much they charge a night? Is it still under $50 a night?

I only see the Deluxe Residence rooms on Agoda and Expedia. The Deluxe Terrace is in photos and has nice living area, but doesn't have a price quote for this room on either site? Is that what you are talking about when you say inside and outside? 4 floors and no elevators.

Expedia is offering me deals because I booked a flight through them. That Maninarakorn Hotel .99 Sridonchai Rd. T. Changklan A.Muang is very inexpensive. I'll have acompanion with me so no bringing one home, well maybe a snowballs chance in hell of that. Is there lots of bars around LB and others? I'll look this one up, thanks reissit. Would like to catch up with you in June if your around.

Youngone, this is such a good review that I'm going to keep this thread on it's own rather than merge it with the other thread on this property which isn't really a review but more a call asking if others have stayed there. Great rundown and quality photos mate. That view of Nana entrance is something else. Can you identify ladyboys at night from that position? Here's the older thread if any interest in past comments. Marriot on Soi 2

Is that the place on top of Frasier Suites? Any photos? that would have been a great backdrop.
