I remember eating them 30 odd years ago at the MCG.

I can see why this place is a favourite for BM's, it is £100 a night which is good value although there are others priced less that are still excellent. I was given a room on the 12th floor at the front, it was a lovely view across the City. The staff were tremendous, on checking out the girl came out to the front and waited with me until the taxi arrived, she didn't need to but it was noted by me and appreciated. The room itself was a good size with a nice armchair and foot stool and a desk and counter area. The bed was very comfy and I heard zero noise from outside.The bathroom was adequate, a simple shower hose attachment that in the holder gives a difficult angle but a bit of fiddling makes it manageable, no bath tub but for me I probably wouldn't use one anyway My one gripe is that the lighting is not great and that hunting all the switches can be a faff. I will definitely return and I reccommend booking through Agoda.

It's been nearly 15 years since this thread had a bump, even BMthanks hasn't had a say on it. Some BM's may recall thanks he was very prominent and loved to comment on almost everything, sadly absent for a good while now. Anyway, I spent a night on Sunday at The Dawin. I booked through Agoda at a cost of £60, this was considerably cheaper than Citrus Suites and The Adelphi but a tad more than the Dynasty Inn and Nana Hotel. The Hotel is modern with a nice casual bistro style eaterie at the front and then through to reception. All staff were attentive and pleasant and check in took 5 mins. My room was on the 3rd floor, there appears to be only one lift that probably has space for 4 people or two with cases. The room was spacious, i had a desk and armchair and the wall were clean and newly painted. Hanging space was plentiful. The bathroom was adequate but not high end, the shower was was on a flexi hose like you would have on bath taps but the water was hot and powerful. The bed was big and comfortable and I experienced no noise issues. Would i book again? Yes, for a night but not longer, it's bang opposite Why Not and those girls would spot my every move of ingoings and outgoings! I will try and provide an update on The Citrus suites later this month.

Agree on all of the above, what I didn't like so much was the reception area, it seemed that at any point of day or night there was people sleeping on the couches and generally milling around. The reception staff were very casual and the whole place gave off a vibe that it was more a long term crash pad place rather than a Hotel. Quite far down the Soi especially for wet season but rooms were an excellent size.

A classic example of what Britain and the USA have brought to the culinary table....no wonder that Europe laughs at our cuisine! Still, I'd take it over Cordon bleu or Weiner Schnitzel any day of the week!

Probably be more in the USA and parts of Europe

£250 approximately for the two jabs here in UK

I think anyone living or spending large portions of time in LOS should think about having the Dengue jab. I believe they are available privately here in the UK, probably for a considerably more amount than what you are paying.

So is mine when I have a BBQ.

Our food isn't great but is American any better, I doubt it. Still, could be worse, could be eating snails drowning in garlic and butter or trying to find a morsel of meat on some poor frogs leg.

Yeah, a three course Christmas dinner is gut swelling enough for us.......looks decent though!

Chuck it in the middle of a bowl of Somtum and they will love you forever!

Good choice and perfect location......Soi 4 on your doorstep and the cut through to Soi 8 and then on to Soi 10

Yep, paid £55 last month.....I doubt I will get that again in February though.

Citrus Suites on both Soi 6 & 11 seem to have an Indian family and Monger fan club. There is even a lady with a travel booth doing flights and tours open during the day. I like the Hotel, the location is great, front staff are courteous and polite and usually remember me. Normally by 10pm it's just one staff member left on the desk, usually a very efficient young guy. I always book ahead through Agoda and often get the large suite for around £55 a night not including breakfast. The extra 250 baht for breakfast is worth it if you have early plans or things to do.
