Siam Man

I've stayed at Swan Inn on Soi 4 on two different occasions. It's a very cheap option located just past Rajah Hotel Complex on the opposite side of Soi 4. I had stayed in Swan Inn 2 which is further down Soi 4 and a little nicer and bigger rooms. The first time I stayed there I used it as a day room since I had a midnight flight. My hotel on soi 2 couldn't give me a late check out because they were booked full that next day.
 
I don't think they take reservations and aren't listed on booking sites like Agoda. You basically walk up and see if they have a room around noon. The cost is 700 baht. I think they have 14 rooms total all on the second floor. The internet signal is poor unless you are close to the front. My second day I couldn't get signal in the room. big fridge, 2 free bottles of water, warm water in shower. It would make a a good ST room if you were looking to do multiples near Nana. No safe for valuables. The outlets are antiquated, but I was lucky to have an adapter that worked.
 
The second time I used it when I ended up changing my flight and staying two extra days. My hotel (Aspen Suites) didn't have any rooms on those dates as they were booked full for the Chinese new year. I thought that may be the story at most places on short notice so I went to this place and paid 2100 baht for 3 nights. Nothing fancy, but okay in a pinch.
 

 

 

 

 

 
 

An old regular had some injections since I last saw her. I could tell the difference straight away.
 
Before she had a tight little ass, which I loved to smack when fucked her from behind.
 

 

 
Now her ass is to tender to give her those love pops.
 

 

 
She also had injection in the face.
 
Before with little to no make up
 

 
After injection with make up
 

 
You be the judge.

I would like to welcome all of our new members.

 
I've downloaded some more emoticons for everyones enjoyment

Including some that our sister site doesn't have.

I did one night at this place last week. My regular hotel was fully booked when I wanted to stay one more day so i thought I'd try something a bit cheaper to see if it I would still be satisfies on something a little more budget friendly. Also wanted to try being right on Soi 4.
 
Turns out I would rather pay the extra baht. This place was maybe nice a decade ago or more, but you can tell whoever manages it now doesn't really care and just seems to be bailing the boat. The lobby looks really nice but once you're in the halls and rooms it looks old and in need of renovation.
 
The rooms are huge, like needlessly huge to the point where they echo. My toilet was facing the shower with maybe 10cm in between so you had sit on it with both legs to the side. Which is mostly just bizarre and kind of funny. The shower was old and dingy.
 
The worst thing about this hotel is the multitude of signs everywhere telling you not to break stuff or you'll be charged, followed by telling you they are watching on CCTV. Things that are just common sense and would be comfortable in one paragraph on the waiver you sign when you check in. One example is a sign in the elevator that tells you not to press all the buttons on the elevator or you might break it and they will charge you 5000 baht. First of all, obviously you don't do this and the only one that need to be told are small children. Second, your elevator can't handle visiting multiple floors? Maybe you should upgrade this, let alone multiple things in the hotel before it collapses. Sorry got a little ranty there.
 
The one redeeming quality of this hotel is the really big pool and hot tub with plenty of sunshine... too bad I didn't get a chance to use it.
 
Overall I was embarrassed to bring girls back here and in the future, would rather pay the extra baht and have a nice place.

It's sorted for the time being. Back in July it came and went until Alex finally got the ship righted.

This is one that I didn't learn until i left BKK the first trip and saw several taxis dropping off people at departures.
 
Would like to recommend to everyone arriving and needing a taxi to avoid people offering taxi service outside baggage and arrivals.
For an example if you going to Nana, Sukhumvit they will charge you around 600-700 baht. If you go outside to get a metered taxi, they have to pay an airport tax (surcharge) straight away. This journey can be up to 450 baht.
 
However by just going upstairs to departures you can easily catch a taxi that just dropped some on off. Just insist on metered and this same trip can be done just under 200 baht. Don't let them try to add on a service charge or airport tax, becuase they didn't have to pay it, by not getting in that que downstairs.
 
They have elevators as well that you can easily fit a luggage trolley on. You get those trolleys at baggage claim for free.
The escalators are moving sidewalk types, not steps. You can fit you trolley on them easily as well. When you get up top and go outside look to your right and see the metered taxis. They are across the first lane. Keen drivers will actually be looking for you, and be more than willing to assist you with your bags. Just make sure you establish that your on meter rate.
 
Once I had one try to get an extra 100 baht on top of meter after arriving at my guest house. I asked why and he said for airport tax? I told him he didn't have to pay it, so I'm not either. He was happy to take his meter fare only. For him it was worth a try, thinking the average farang doesn't know any better.
 
I have done this several times now. Thai governement had recently had a big crackdown against the illegal taxi services that were operating which has helped from what I have heard.
 
When you get to the top floor which is departures, you just cross these lanes of traffic. you can actually see the taxi's who have just dropped off people sitting with open doors waiting on the suave travellor.
 
In my case I had a driver searching me out, and on the way to taxi did the usual questioning of meter. 190 baht to Nana. the driver in the center Taxi is actually looking for a suave customer using the departures drop off. I have also used this same principle in Viet Nam (Ho chi Min ) Airport paying about 5 USD instead of $15.

I recently stayed in Aspen on three different bookings. During my first stay the internet was spotty at best, which was the case in February. I was upgraded as a return customer and they had rooms to spare. The manager and desk people are all polite and helpful except for the younger male who is a bit unattentive in my estimation. I brought multiple guests without an issue. However they don't seem to be calling up to my room when they leave like they used to.
 
I didn't have the water runoff on the floor from the shower as I experienced in the Deluxe room. The maid staff was excellent as usual cleaning the room whenever I wanted it. I was tipping them daily so was able to extra towels. I managed to make it to a few breakfasts, and would bring up a plate with fruits and yogurt for later.
 
I took off for CM and then London, so I left a bag behind at no charge. I returned mid month and had 3 days booked through Agoda in an executive suite again. I added 3 days on a Qantas awards booking in a deluxe room, but was able to stay in the same room (Executive Suite). Had no problems and little to no wait times for the tuk tuk. I also used i check in and Lohas Suites tuk tuk when I was returning to Soi 2. They are all real good about picking up each others guests I've found.
 
I've found that Aspens prices have been better than i check inns, and is a nicer and bigger rooms in my estimation. Lohas had some specials which were around 80 AUD a night, but opted for Aspen at $65 a night. I noticed more Arabs and Chinese this time around, and with that more kids are present.
 
The beds in the executive suite are huge, but are actually two doubles put together. Spacious, but there is a ridge in the middle which isn't the most comfortable place to sleep if three in the bed. In the executive suite and the bed is pinned in better by night stands, so the bed didn't have near the movement as other rooms I experienced before.
 

 
 
 

Visited last night with another BM.
It was their second night of soft opening so service team were getting used to their new role.
We shared three starters. Guacamole, Chilli and Salza - all delicious with great crispy corn crackers.
Main course was a terrific Chicken Fajita.
Prices reasonable and the old Paradise bar is not recognizable - a lot of expense and effort has been put in and it has a great quality feel to it.
The owners are attentive and care about how they are satisfying customers.
Mexican chef and a great attention to details.
Definitely will visit when in Bangkok. Close to Chaos and Nana.

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 ended up going to Above Eleven (located on top of Fraser Suites) after stopping in at the Nest above LeFenix Hotel. There was no live music at the nest, so I wasn't going to pay those drink prices there all night so I took my date (Jell) for the evening to Above Eleven. The drink prices were about the same but Above Eleven offers a better view of the city and I hadn't been before. No worries with a ladyboy, but they have a dress code sign as you enter.
 

 

 
 
The atmosphere is quite nice and comfortable. As we arrived later a table on outer edge was open. The kitchen had just closed so we couldn't order a nibbly. I was quite impressed with the bathrooms as they offered a great view (Soi 11 and city) as well. Would be an even better view during daylight hours, but getting a table may be difficult.
 

 

 

 
It's a pretty nice set up really and would be a great place to take a date for a more quite relaxed evening out. I think I would rather take just one ladyboy rather than a few. Jell had never been either so it was nice for both of us to experience it for the first time together. Provides them a great place to take their selfies of where they are and what they are eating/drinking.

I was originally booked into the JW for this trip, but about 3 weeks ago I received a marketing email from Accor announcing a fire sale with 40% discount on offer, downside was that it needed to be pre-paid. Out of interest I checked what they were offering and found quite a good deal for the Sofitel, so after some deliberation I decided to cancel my booking at the JW and bite the bullet in favour of a pre-paid room at the Sofitel.
 
It is my first stay at this hotel and to be honest I'm wondering why I haven't stayed here before. The place is much better than The Landmark or the JW, there are no loud groups of kids around and the location is near perfect. The pool area is good with sun in the afternoon, the restaurants are top notch and the coffee shop on the ground level serves fantastic coffee. There is no joiner fee and on the 2 occasions I've had a guest there was no need for them to leave ID at reception.
 
Pics below are of the 'Opera Suite'.
 
Living room which is quite spacious. Wifi is free and fast.

 

 
Bedroom with a very comfy king size bed. The place is totally noise free and the curtains black out any light. For a very light sleeper like myself there is no need for the usual earplugs.

 
Nice bath in the massive bathroom.

 
Large shower cubicle with rain shower. Water pressure is excellent.

 
Double sinks with plenty of amenities.

 
Pool area which is very relaxing with light music in the background.

Yes, it should do that. Please PM me a screenshot of what you are seeing..
 
PS: Will move this topic to the Technology and I.T Forum soon.

Ive stayed at the Woraburi Hotel on my last 4 visits to Bangkok, cant fault the place and its staff, Nice Bed and I love my pillows (it has four big ones), has a kettle as I love my cofffee and save a fortune by not having to pay out 70-100 at a time,big shower space, UBC TV, walk in wardrobe, a nicely stocked big Fridge
 
It would be my first choice if I ever decide to visit the Big Mango again
 
If your feeling lazy and dont fancy the little walk then what's 50 baht for the ride in a tuk tuk
 
Sorry about the pic quality....

I stayed there in February after hearing some good things on it and the location. I had checked it out from the outside on my previous trip. It's located at the end of the Soi 7/1. 7/1 is a little soi with some beer bars, massage places, and Sweetheart Bar is a stones throw from Maxim. I booked through Agoda at $32 a night for the basic room. I asked for a window facing the soi so I could check out the action. I did get that room, but was hard to see. If I leaned way out I could see the front porch of Sweetheart. Brekkie was nothing fab. Staff was friendly. My room was fine, smallish bathroom, two big comfy chairs, 2 free bottles of water daily, smoking in room ok, free WiFi in rooms. No problems running ladyboyz in and out. Good value for money in my book.

I just spent a week at the SM Grande Residence. Was quite a good price on Agoda. I checked the same dates on their website and that info came back as the dates weren't available.
 
The room was quite spacious. I think it was 34 sq meters. Small safe, average bathroom that was a bit dated. Nice big bed. Maid service adapted to my sleeping hours and came around 4:30 each day. It had a balcony, but only window access.
 
The desk people were pretty ordinary. The night I checked in there was no one even at the desk. I got the security guard to find her. He pointed that she was in the toilet. So I waited and then she showed up from somewhere else not the toilets? They were absent a couple of other times when I wanted to drop off my key before going out..
 
I called them before booking to make sure they were guest friendly. They didn't have a clue what I was talking about so it was a wasted long distance phone call. The best I got from them was to call back in three hours. So I took a little gamble and booked it anyway as the price was quite good at $45 AUD a night. I wrote on comments that I would be bringing guests home each night and let me know if that was a problem. They never responded.
 
Turned out it was indeed guest friendly. They have a gate out front with a security guard who collects and gives back their ID's. However they didn't call up to the room when they left alone, so I suppose one could leave you for dead if they wanted. Lot's of people actually live there so I could see where bringing in P4P gurls could be frowned upon, but it's Soi 4 location means they need to to compete with other hotels in the area that are also Guest friendly. It's not to far down Soi 4 and before the Ibis. Easy walks to Nana and Rajah hotel complex. You can also take their tuk tuk to Sukhumvit and Soi 4 intersection or to the Nana BTS station. The tuk tuk service doesn't run very late. I think stops at 6 or 7.
 
They have a pool on the 3rd floor which was pretty decent size. You have to use your room towels but you can exchange them for fresh ones after. They also have a fitness center which I didn't check out. A BKK Post is free for guests on the lobby counter.

In the hotel section i have reviewed hotels I've stayed in check out OTS hotel reviews.

Oliver17 did a bang up job detailing Hotel guest policies:
 
http://www.bangkokladyboys.net/forum/index.php?/topic/6441-hotel-guest-policies-for-ladyboys/

Here is the website for a Hua Hin store. It looks like they have a big selection of stuff, but if this is indicative
of eletronics pricing in LOS, you probably won't find many bargains there:
 
http://www.invadeit.co.th/brand/samsung/tablets/
 
I think its a myth that electronics are inherently cheaper in Asia than in the west. They always seem to cost the
same or even more there. I have noticed this when shopping in Japan and S. Korea and even China.

I don't remember them having wheels, but I do recall those at Aspen Suites having wheels.
 
i Check Inn on Soi has small balcony in that you can smoke on.

Remember the short cut to Soi 4 if going to 7/11, Laundry or other things that Soi 2 doesn't have. You can also take the Hotel Tuk Tuk down to Sukhumvit. I ran until until 11 most nights when I was there. Was great to take down to Rajah Hotel Entrance in front of Majestic Grande. Practically at Paradise Clubs door. You can also play pool for free there too.
 
I've stayed a couple times now for a week each time. I would have stayed in February however there rate increased and Aspen was about the same. Aspen is bigger, and had breakfast so I chose them.
 
I see you booked on Agoda. You can also book them through their website which saves a little, but morte importantly you can get a free upgrade if they have room as a return customer. For future reference.

I recently stayed at the i Check Inn on Soi 2. I was hoping to get the free upgrade as a repeat customer, however they were full so it was a smaller room than I had last time and no couch. I moved over from Aspen suites which is better for longer stays. i Check is about $15 AUD cheaper a night I think. My room wasn't ready yet so I had to wait in the Chill in room on the second floor. I had never been down to this level before. There I found that free coffee and hot chocolate machine like they have in the i Check Inn lobby on Soi 7/1. Also a pool table, restroom, and a room with a comfy couch and TV. Internet access which helped pass the hour wait I had until someone from reception came up and told me my room was ready.
 
No burners in the kitchen so no cooking like I was doing in Aspen Suites. However it was a decent sized kitchen which I used twice for standing sex. I had no problem with guest. In fact I had three in my room at the same time one night and they didn't bat an eye.
 
Tuk tuk was always ready to run me down to the end of Soi 2 or a convenient stop at Rajah Hotel complex.
 
I had a midnight flight back to Oz so I got a late check out to 5 P.M. for 500 baht. Usually it's 700 baht until 6 P.M. but they couldn't give me that because they were full. Aspen Suites was also full during this Christmas period, which tells me tourism is recovering. Prices are also higher than last year Christmas time at all the hotels I stayed at previously or compared.
