I have to admit fellas, I'm a little worried about this. I'm no hypochondriac, I never feared covid at all the last 3 years, I just don't get how this isn't ripping through the p4p scene in Thailand.  Specifically the gay p4p scene. I kinda have this gut feeling that it will explode and when it explodes you don't want to be there.  I'm pretty bummed about it, I'm finally gearing up for a trip after 3 years and at the very least it's going to make me super cautious, no more trawling the lower suhkumvit area drunk as a skunk and blowing 3 ladyboys in a 2 hour window. That's where the fun was.

Ironic with Saudi Arabia alleging Quatar "supporting terrorists" (which I know nothing about either way) since all the 9/11 bombers came from Saudi Arabia, and it and Pakistan are the most fundamentalist Arab states in the world and ironically the only two that the US gives unconditional support. Moderate Muslim states like Iraq on the other hand are at risk of being bombed out of existence.

I´ve stayed a lot at LeFenix Soi 11 over the years. Recently moved because of the take over with indian groups, but it´s great and cheap for discreet entrance if u order from CL, TF or lb´s you know. The reception will (sometimes) take the ID and call. Recently there was no need for keycards so a lot of my girls just came right up. Personally, I do like some security. Then again, Hilton Sukhumvit don´t take the girls ID but make u come down and get the girls at the lobby.
Also stayed at Hyatt, there are a night club at the basement entrance so not so discreet. And if u stay at Club room level they have to walk past the counter there.

lb_beginner you really hit the nail on the head there with that second line, im quite fed up with the lower suhkumvit area, its a magnificent stew of arabs and indians, i tend to keep to myself while i suffer through a few nights in bangkok, it suits me just fine to call a few girls and keep a low profile. on my last trip i booked a hotel a ways from the action. on suhkumvit but about 5 stops on the rail from nana, id just call a girl at meet them at the 711 downstairs then wed take the elevator up to my room, fast painless no hassle, incognito. its a beautiful thing

Lohas Suites on Soi 2 has a back entrance leading to Soi 4 and you can walk to the lifts without passing the lobby or reception if you are in the building nearest Soi 4. Even if you are in the main block you can walk to the lifts without too much attention if thats whats you want.
I think many 5* hotels also offer discretion. The Marriott on Soi 2 doesn't take a girls ID and after 11PM the door on the left can only be opened by keycard and you can walk to the lifts quite discretely.
 
Up to you if you want discretion. Personally I don't think the hotel taking a girls ID card really protects me from anything and I prefer hotels where it's optional. I usually only barfine from Bars or contact girls I already know on LIne so I don't brink back freelancers I meet on the street.

The street level entrance of the Sheraton Grande is also discreet. The lobby is on the floor above. You can go to the ground floor lift and their is only one suited security guy (as opposed to in uniform). You can then go directly to your room avoiding the lobby. The security guy never says anything other than good morning etc and holds the lift open.
 
Pretty sure you can do the same at the Landmark by entering into the Basement and walking around that level (same as Huntsman Pub) to the main elevator bank. Lobby is also on floor above but you don't need to stop there.
