    ARI23 reacted to Ropey in Thai Style Nightlife Areas in Bangkok: Cocowalk, Udom Suk and Srinakarin   
    I've been to Talad Rod Fai a few times, it's a good night out if you like memorabilia and antique sort of things. It's a mix of locals and tourists, the ladyboys I've seen have been with bfs walking around or working in the stalls. The bars are tiny and not really a place to go for. 
    I've been to rock bar a few times in coco walk, I've not seen any ladyboys in the area. The problem you'll have here and many Thai orientated places is that they go out in big groups and don't really mingle with others outside their groups. Western style bars are popular for P4P and singles looking for farang because they allow random people to meet, Thai bars are more for groups of friends to drink/sing together, there is very little interaction outside their immediate group. 
    I haven't been to Udom Suk nightclubs but there's plenty of these sorts of locations dotted around Bangkok, for some reason they tend to have the best food too. They're all girls as far as I'm aware, you'd need to go to a gay area to find ladyboys for local guys. 
    Places imo you would be more successful :
     
    RCA - loads of ladyboys go here for fun but it's hard to break them away from their groups they go in. Bring a card with your line ID on it to slip to them. 
    Ratchada Rot Fai Market - just up Rama IX is the newer version of the old Rot Fai market, bigger bars and apparently there are ladyboys there according to another BM in a thread from a year or more ago. 
    Thonglor - there are plenty of Thai nightclubs here, I've seen ladyboys in groups when I've been out and about too. But again, breaking them from the group will be challenging. 
    Saphan Kwai - near saphan Kwai bts is a straight and gay gogo bar area aimed at Thais. Bound to be ladyboys there, but not sure where exactly. The straight area is on Suttisan Winitchai Rd around soi Inthamara 2. The gay gogos are opposite side of Phahonayothin Rd down Soi Pradiphat 20 - near Embassy Hotel. 
    As a tourist, you will have limited success with any non P4P ladyboys, as they generally are more interested in building a relationship (whatever that relationship may be) than a one night stand with a tourist who may never be back. So I agree with Flip-flops comment above, if you're going to go to the effort to meet them in these places make sure you let them know you're not just a 'one hit wonder'.

    ARI23 reacted to Danum99 in Adelphi Grande Sukhumvit Soi 41   
    I have had 3 stays with Adelphi. It fits with my location requirement which is to be close to both the MRT & BTS stations making travel relatively easy. Bikes and cars aren't exactly the best ways to travel in Bangkok. 
    There is a Tops supermarket at the beginning of the soi so that is a great convenience and the Phrom Phong BTS station is some 300m from the main road. 
    The hotel is good in that the rooms are well equipped and  large. The washer/dryer requires less luggage and I find this ideal. 
    Breakfast was part of my pkg but much of what they serve is pork to cater to the Jap clientele but I am generally comfortable with eggs and toast. But they should cater to others too. 
    Room service is on time and this  is something I am particular about. Staff are attentive and good at what they do.  
    I am sure I would return in future.

    ARI23 reacted to Thanks in MRT Subway Underground Lines Bangkok   
    Beginning this Saturday (24 August 2019), two more stations will be added to the Blue Line extension past Tha Phra: Bang Phai and Bang Wa. At Bang Wa, the MRT connects to the BTS Silom Line. 
    The BTS green line (Sukhumvit line) was recently extended too and trains will be going past Mo Chit now and go till Ha Yaek Lat Phrao, next to the large shopping complex.

    ARI23 got a reaction from irishfella in Dynasty Inn, Sukhumvit Soi4   
    Dynasty Inn,
    5 4 Sukhumvit Road Soi 4 Nanatai Klongtoey, Bangkok, Thailand, Bangkok 10110
    I was at the Dynasty Inn hotel 3 nights at the beginning of August 2019.
    I didn't find any review about this hotel which seems little discussed in this forum, contrary to the Dynasty Grande.
     Why you (and I) would choose this unassuming little hotel (around 60 rooms)? To be in the heart of the action. At your right, count 60 meters to Nana Plaza via Hillary 4 and the Stumble Inn. If you take on your left, Hillary 2 is at 30 meters.
    The reviews are good (8.3 on Booking) and this hotel is of course guest-friendly. 
    I asked for a non-smoking room at the back of the hotel (quiet rooms). 1 680 baht a night for 2 people. I didn't take the breakfast.
    At the entrance of the hotel, the front bar gives you a look at the scene. Very useful to give a rendez-vous to a lb, take a drink and evaluate the chemistry. At night a few ladyboys stand on the sidewalk.
    Food from the restaurant is known to be good. I didn't test it.
    At the front desk, the hotel staff is friendly and helpful. It's a big plus. The people make the place. No walk of shame. Your guest will let its ID at the reception.
    At the check-in they ask for a 500 baht cash deposit for the key.
    The back annexe seems to face the rear of Nana Plaza but in the room there is no noise of music or whatever.
    The room is quite new, clean and large. 26 square meters. 
    Aircon works well, a bit noisy. Comfortable big bed, safe (laptop friendly), fridge, ... Fast wifi.
    Complimentary water, coffee.
    Bathroom is modern and clean with a hand hose.
    All lbs of Nana Plaza know the hotel and will be happy to make the short walk for a session. So no short-time room to pay.
     
    All in all I was positively surprised by the quality of this 3 star hotel, clean nice room, friendly staff, located in the heart of the action. I was pleased all the time I spent in that room, feeling well.
    Recommend strongly.
    Note: Dynasty Grande, on Soi 6, belongs to the same owner and has pool and gym. Around 300/350 baht more expensive by night. Same kind of rooms. Better lobby, front desk not so friendly.
    Pictures :
    - the entrance of the hotel from soi 4, see the bar. 
    - The room with the bed, flat tv, safe. The bathroom. The mirror (ladyboy not included in the package).

    Hi OTS,
    The guy is there every day. He is not annoying. He is simply there.
    Like the ladyboys at dusk (maybe not the same lbs than 20 years before).
