It took me years to get over that Rolex I purchased at the corner of Soi 4 and Soi 6.

He bought an IPhone 15 Pro for a 1000 Baht and feels aggrieved it wasn’t a real one 

Going there as a couple ... probably having a mean girlfriend, he might be right 

book the room for 2 people, it will be the same price. they cant do shit then

Thanks. Similarly for me as well in that I never use the facilities like the gym, pool and bar. So just need a decent room and shower. Mirrors might be a nice addition.

I have stayed in Galleria 10 a few times. It’s was good for the price. During the day I am always out so never use the pool or the bar. Never had any issues and I always bring back from CIB. 
Citadines on 11 have bigger rooms but a lot of noise from the bar’s outside. So loud it’s difficult to sleep.

Yep it is easy to search for hotels online but......I think the purpose of the OP is to get recommendations from fellow mongers.
Agoda and booking.com don't tell you if the rooms are noisy or if they are guest friendly or how the staff treat you when you walk in with 2 ladyboys to take to your room or if the foyer is filled with families/kids who may have to ride the elevator with you and your 2 horn bag LBs. maybe educational for the children but I am sure some members may be embarrassed at those sort of hotels.

Thank you Alvin. If I stay in soi 11, I stay in Citadines as the rooms are fairly spacious and the crowd who stay there is not that bad, The Ambassador is a good spot but my last experience was not good so had not stayed there for a long time. As you said the crowd who stay there does create problems sometimes and it’s not to my liking. 
I will give it a miss then. 

Suits me fine.
In the Premiere suite the bathroom is quite big as are the other rooms.
Restaurant is good. Has the benefit of an outside area which looks down on passing foot traffic. This paid dividends for me as I met a very nice LB who happened to walk past and I caught her eye. Bingo. A match made. Going to catch up with her during my upcoming trip. (photo attached). Have seen a couple of CIB girls in there with their "clientele".  I get on well with the reception staff and the concierge. A nice guy. Always smiling. The one thing it hasn't got, and I would like, is a pool. Neither has it a gym. Mind you with my physique I dont need to visit one of those.
The only downer I can recall is the reception staff stopping me taking 2 CIB girls to my room. Only one at a time!
So for my trip in March, due to it being a warm time of year I am trying a couple of others. Hopeland, (Denbosch think it is ok but sometimes I doubt his opinion!). Also going to give Promenade a go.
 

I fly a lot on them. They have PE on some of their 789 and all 777. Service is good on PE and business class. Never flew economy on them so can’t comment. 
in fact I am flying with them tomorrow too. PE seats are worth it because the pitch and width is good. Separate small cabin for PE. Looks like the old business class. Fairly good recline. If you need to get out obviously the best is an aisle seat in the middle row. The 777 has 2-4-2 in PE. There is a foot rest too. The Inflight Entertainment is crap though.

It's a lottery too. Some days a few minutes other days massive queues.

Last year one time at departure the queues had backed up to the escalator. So as you say it's a lottery. I think doing away the landing card has also made it a lot easier. 

I thought this would be obvious

The best way to do this is to wear multiple layers of clothing. Yes you are legally allowed to wear multiple layers. I mean two or three pairs of underwear. A pair of shorts and your pants over that. 3 socks and two t shirts and a polo shirt over them. Grab a t shirt and roll it over your head as a turban.
The rest you can put it in your carry on. Once you get thru the airline staff just take those off and put them in your carry on. 

Nice idea, I might do some of that. Dunno about a turban though

The turban was my idea. The rest I have seen it done. I couldn't believe it when I saw this thin guy I know who looked fat when he turned up at the airport. The funny thing was the security only asked him to remove his jacket and nothing else.

I always travel with at least three suits so this carry on nonsense sounds barbaric....

I stayed here early this month. Very good location and no extra charges. Asoke on one side and Nana on the other. Cib on the opposite. 

A couple other notes about S15, its next to Tom Tom's formerly Hollys if you need real coffee although I prefer going across to GC Cafe 4 min walk. Coffee is better but I do mix it up. Tom Tom is better to see and be seen.

GC Café - Soi 8

Laundry is around the corner on S13. Shop around, rates are 60 to 95 baht per kilo. Hi Speed is the cheapest and best but you have to walk quite a ways to it . Fun as you are catcalled by all the massage ladies.

There are also no frills salons for inexpensive mannies, peddies and foot scrubs on soi 13.

On Soi 11, there is my favorite restaurant Vegaterie. Don't let the name scare you off. They have great wonderfully tastefully spiced dishes and purple rice bowls. One of the best fast food places I've eaten in Thailand. Not cheap but a great respite from all white rice and noodles.

I also like Asok being a little closer to Ekkamai and Tonglor for my other activities. Terminal 21 has already been mentioned.

Also great if you take transit from airport as you can get off at Makkasan and one stop to Sukhumvit on MRT. When I stayed at Galleria, or Soi 7, or Nana, I would take Skytrain to the end Playa Thai and double back on BTS to avoid 2 transfers (Skytrain, MRT, BTS.) - pain in the ass.

And yes, you will walk the gauntlet at night but didn't matter to me as I had a different LB on my arm with the odd GG every night lol.

I'm not a Nana guy, but I don't find the walk that bad when I choose to go, usually during the day for a special massage.
