I saw a few shows in Patpong back in the 90's. Ping Pongs, razors, bananas, opening beer bottles and shooting the darts out to pop balloons tied to the roof. Very educational.
Saw one girl squirt half a banana out and a guy in the front row caught it in his mouth and ate it. Quality entertainment.

Red Lion has some good English Breakfasts too. Last time I was in town they had a Baht Buster deal 129 Baht for an English Breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrown, tomato, baked beans, mushroom, toast, coffee, juice. Not a bad feed.
 

I have seen mixed reviews about the airline. Mind you I have used Cathay Pacific & Ethiad and while I didn't totally "hate" each of those flights I was very underwhelmed with the experiences.
I am not expecting perfection, 5kg carry-on limit, maybe not the best meals and  maybe the screen won't work (so I read)
I can get around these factors, Get snacks to take on at the airport,  take my laptop with movies loaded and kindle and do the neck pillow work around ( take out the stuffing and fill it with things like socks and t-shirts)

Nana Hotel would probably roll out the red carpet and apply a discount if you walked through the door with three girls on your arms.

I am back staying at Hyatt Regency. I love this hotel. Best location on the corner of Suk and Soi 13, super modern (opened in 2018), great buffet breakfast, awesome Club Lounge on Level 27 with great view, very nice gym and swimming pool on Level 6. Only 280 meter walk to CIB, and about 450m to Cindy's. i doubt I will go any further than 450m in the next 5 nights.
I booked standard room at 6800++ per night. Used a free Suite upgrade and let me tell you the Suite is SWEET! Separate lounge room and huge bathroom.
In my small mind I thought this would impress the girls! last time I stayed in April, I also used Suite upgrade. Brought Patty from CIB back and she didn't mention anything. Brought Nutty from Cindy's, she didn't mention anything. Guess they seen it all before. Last night brought Gaga back and she did say 'Oh big room'.
Funny thing is I stayed a 2nd time in April and brought Nutty back again. Was only in the standard room this time which is still very nice just not as big. Nutty mentioned on this one, just saying, oh you have different room this time!
 

Don't, and I repeat, don't go to any ladyboy bars
This is a public warning
It is a very addictive place and very harmful to your financial health!

I walked the the Soi's of Sukumvit , looking at the many Dentists clinic's around, I was in Asoke, not fat from Terminal 21, I noticed several farang , coming out of the Bangkok Smile clinic, so I approached them, explained my apprehensive state concerning Dentists in Thailand etc, they all said they had been attending Bangkok Smile Dental for many years, no problems occurred.In the waiting area it was full of farang,,, so I went and registered & paperwork etc,,, the dentist was great.....but  will add to this story
T had a early morning appointment one year, I had a late night in 'Nana plaza', I stumbled out of the hotel bed pulled on the shorts & Tee shirt form the night before, & just made ti to the clinic on time, relaxed back in the chair, dentist was cleaning the teeth & filling's, the dental assistant's were smiling & giggle away at something( being hot weather I only had on light sports shorts ( I had gone no underwear). The Dentist, gave then a stern look, everything went quite, for a short time, the dentist finished her work on my teeth, a big smile & laugh on her face 'saying you have a good holiday ENJOY), the nurses gave me some very sexy looks, I didn't really what it was all about. Arrived back Soi 8, decided 'Shower time, took me short's of lying them front side upwards down, and i spot A HUGE FULL SET OF LIPSTICK MARK, RIGHT WHERE THE 'THE OLD MAN HANGS DOWN', I'm so glad the staff at Bangkok Smile clinic ahd a great conversation starter for the rest of the week

It gets mixed reviews on these boards. I like the place but I can fully understand the people who say the don't. The rooms are very good now as a lot have been refurbished. It is geared up for guests as there is a separate desk by the lifts for the guest to show ID etc, this is more convenient and discrete than going to reception. No charges for guests, I suspect if they tried the hotel would empty. It should be fine for your needs.

"I yam what I yam and dats what I yam!" Popeye.
The Nana Hotel has had a refurb in parts, so I heard. The sights and sounds from staying there make it priceless! The hiso boutique hotels tend to be soulless and you could be anywhere. If staying at the Nana, then you know exactly where you are!
@Eddyseybrew the Miami Hotel on soi 13 has had a total refurb, but due to its location around the corner from The Thermae and all of the streetwalkers on Sukhumvit, it is also still full of hookers!

Same here, it was the first Bangkok hotel I stayed in and always loved staying there. I can agree with the criticisms,  but the staff, location and  stories from other guests mean I will always head there.

Yep, rather be there than some Hi-So over priced boutique hotel.....Nana is a Mongers mainstay for years because it knows what it is.

After all the years i have stayed at the Nana Hotel I think I may have bagged their best room. It's basically a suite and is pretty much the size of two rooms, but that aside it is posistioned above Hooters and I have three large windows looking down onto the NEP entrance and also where the freelancers gather.....maybe they secretly log your visits and thought his time has come for a bit of VIP hospitality!!...highly unlikely but for just under 1,800B a night it is excellent value! 

Landed yesterday at BKK Saturday 10am
7 minutes to walk from plane to immigration.
3 minutes through immigration
10 minutes to wait for my bag and bang in a taxi. No queues at immigration
Taxi took just over 45 minutes from Old Swampy to Sukhumvit Soi 13, a bit of traffic on the highway. Taxi cost 275 Baht plus 2 tolls, 25 and 50 baht.
Good to be back!

I just got the clip 4 fanfuckingtastic. Just hang it off my luggage

I know them, so I book direct. Info@rompomansion.com. Paul is the guy at this end. Fantastic guy, he will look after you.

You can just book fast track only if you prefer. The car service is certainly more expensive than taxi, but you won't have to wait in the taxi queue (they bring the car directly to you out front of the terminal), and you will also get a driver who won't try to avoid the toll roads and knows where you want to go with no communication issues. 

I think Knobby may be referring to these guys, Bangkok Airport Limousine. 1250 baht for fast track service alone, 1090 baht if you book car service along with fast track. I used them on my very first ladyboy trip years ago because I didn't want to be standing in a long immigration line while badly jet lagged. I haven't had need for them since, but it all went off without a hitch when I used them. It was very efficient and fast. They are not a dodgy outfit, they've been around a long time. Their car service was solid also. Spotless cars driven by sane drivers with good English skills.

I landed on the 17th and I booked Bangkok Limousine fast track service.
Am glad I did as my time of landing was 10:40 am and immigration was very busy.
Fast track meant I was off the plane and out of the airport in 10 mins.

Cathay Pacific connects thousands of passengers at HKG every day and have doing so for decades. Assuming your 1st flight (Heathrow?) departs reasonably on time, there is no need to worry about missing your connecting flight at HKG. Airlines use algorithms that will account for precisely what time your 1st flight arrived at HKG gate that day and exactly how long the lines are at transit security at that particular moment. If your flight arrives slightly late or the lines at security are longer than expected, Cathay will adjust your 2nd flight's departure time accordingly. There will be other passengers on your plane with the identical travel itinerary as yours and Cathay won't be leaving anybody behind because doing so just creates headaches for them. 
I have flown Cathay on several trips to Thailand and transited through HKG on all of them. The longest transit security ever took was maybe 10 minutes.  Lines can move slower at HKG than other airports, but Cathay knows that better than anybody and they account for it. Relax and enjoy your trip. 
I pay little heed to travel reviews on trip advisor etc. because many of them are written by Karen-types who complain about everything under the sun. 

The only Hotel I can think of with both a swimming pool (small pool just a bit bigger than  galleria 10) and a balcony that I’ve stayed at is @Mind Suites in On Nut where I’ve stayed a few times, taking a one bedroom suite.
Here’s my review from the hotel section 
 

I have 3 SotteVests and have been using them for over 10 years--never go without wearing one.   I carry everything in the vest that I do not want to lose and that I want to access during the flights.  I also haven't checked a bag for 25 or more years and my trips are usually 4-6 weeks.  Never had a problem finding a wash and fold shop, and some hotels will do it cheaply.  

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. 

They're handy even if you take a checked-in  bag.....no need for a carry-on.Everything you'd usually put in a carry-on will fit in the vest.
And convenient going through security.

Agreed, going back there is like putting on an old pair of slippers....it's old fashioned ways are part of it's charm. I took the best suite they had last time as it was
ridiculously cheap and not much more than one of the executive rooms.....in truth it was still decades behind the one I had at Citrus suites, but as you say the 
location is the best you will get, and reception and security have seen every single kind walk through them doors....nobody bats an eyelid....I look forward to returning soon.
You know what, as I think about it, I believe that Nana use it's dated old fashioned persona to attract a target guest.....single traveller, 50+, with one sole
intention of sleeping, eating, and Mongering.....I guess that's me and a load more besides!......Millennials, generation X, package tourists and ex Hotel
inspectors should probably look elsewhere.
