    Ladyboy Hotel Staff

    I'm not so sure that is so much the case these days, maybe still with the older generation but from Millennials down I don't think they give two hoots. Everyone in that generation is now very familiar with Ladyboys, all the Social Media platforms have enabled that. My kids are in their early twenties and Ladyboys to them are as familiar and normal as Chicken Green curry with rice.

    Mercure Soi 11 Review

    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.

    Dawin Hotel

    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.

    Hopeland Hotel Soi 8 Review

    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.
  8. 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!

    MedConsult Clinic Soi 49/9

    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.
  12. So is mine when I have a BBQ.
  13. 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.
  14. Yeah, a three course Christmas dinner is gut swelling enough for us.......looks decent though!

    Citrus Suites or ParkRoyal Suites - both on soi 6

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

    Citrus Suites or ParkRoyal Suites - both on soi 6

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

    Citrus Suites or ParkRoyal Suites - both on soi 6

    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.
  19. Yes indeed, The Red Lion is good value and a decent breakfast for 299b

    can antibiotics be purchased without prescription?

    Yep, independents and small pharmacies will, I have noticed though that the branded ones like Boots and Watsons tend to want more information and to advise of possible alternatives. Nothing wrong in taking them if you think it's warranted but taken often the body builds up immunity to them.
  21. The red lion is good and so is the service.

    Cheapish , but ok hotel between sois 7 and 11

    I stayed on Soi 8 recently at The Hope Land, it was absolutely fine, about 100 meters past the main action so fairly quiet. It looked more like a long termers kind of place with a small kitchenette set up. No laundry option so you need to walk up the Soi to the wash lady. For me, you can't beat Citrus Suites, positioned between 6 & 4 so everything Nana related is literally on your doorstep, the cut through ally takes you into Soi 8 in 5 minutes. Both of these are within the 1500-2k bracket with Citrus being the better quality.
