What would you choose? Both bookings are with free cancellation until a couple of days before the start. I have been in both hotels several times and liked it there very much. I am returning guest in both hotels. The doormen in Landmark know me by my first name and greet me with "Welcome back Mr N" when I arrive. Landmark hotel on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok for 7 nights (room only, no breakfast), queen size bed, room 30m², for 716 €. Adelphi Suites on Soi 8 for 7 nights (room only, no breakfast), king size bed, room 48m², for 810 €. Thanks in advance for your opinion.

You do not need to know about the short-time hotels, since the girl or the ladyboy whom you barfined knows them pretty well and will guide you there. However, the best "short-time" room is your hotel room and this for several reasons: You are in your own environment, on your own playground. You can put your valuables into a safe and therefore they are protected from potential theft. If something happens, the ID card of your guest is at the hotel reception and you have more possibilities to start an action against her. This also discourages your guest from potential theft or aggressive behavior. The main problem with short-time rooms is their (lack of) hygiene, whereas your room is certainly cleaner. Do not be afraid of the hotel personnel at the reception when you bring a guest, whether it is a genetic girl or a ladyboy. They have seen it all several times and do not care what you do with your guest in your room.

I was never in Royal Suites, but stayed both in Citrus Suites and Adelphi Suites. I always book a larger room: One Bedroom Suite in Adelphi and One Bedroom Executive Suite in Citrus. Both are approximately at the same price: 3200-3300 baht per night now (it was at 2500 before). Both are large (50-60 sq meters) and good for taking photos (important for me), since the walls are painted white and the furniture is in light colors. Both hotels are in the same category: 4 star hotels. Adelphi is on Soi 8 and more easily accessible for taxis. Taxi drivers do not like to go to the Soi 6 hotels, as Citrus Suites of Park Royal, because they get stuck in the Soi 4 mess in front of Nana. Citrus and Park Royal are closer to Why Not and Nana Plaza, but the walk through Soi 6 from Adelphi is not very longer. Adelphi is closer to Check-In and Cindy's Secrets. When you book a room in Citrus Suites, ask for a NON-LEAKING shower. Many of them are leaking and create a flood on the floor of the bathroom. Both Adelphi and Citrus are frequented by the same clientele: half of them are families, the other half are mongers, many of them taking ladyboys. Unless you come with a ladyboy in the afternoon or early evening, you do not cross the families anyway and if it sometimes happens, you do not need to worry about it. The staff in both hotels is ladyboy-friendly and they have seen it all. However, if you had an ass-penetration accident in your room (shit happens ), do not forget to give the housekeeping a tip. They are paid for standard cleaning of your room, not for cleaning of this kind of mess. Both hotels do not enforce the LB to leave her ID / passport at the reception. However, it is for your own protection. If something happens, you have much better options if your misbehaving LB left his ID downstairs. You have more good options for dinner on Soi 8, therefore Adelphi is a better choice in this category. Also ladyboys, at least those from Check-In and Cindy's, prefer going to Adelphi Suites. Before I prefered to stay in Landmark, which is a 5-star upscale hotel, but they started to ask silly prices, therefore I changed to Citrus and later to Adelphi. If you want to impress your LB and you have the money, definitely go for Landmark. Do not compare Adelphi Suites in Bangkok with Adelphi Suites in Pattaya. Adelphi Suites in Pattaya is hardly a 3-star hotel. I would consider it a 2-star hotel. I was there once and considered that I made a booking blunder. Book a room in Adelphi Suites in Pattaya ONLY IF you are on a tight budget.

It is on Soi 2. I have been there a decade ago. It has big rooms. That is its prime advantage. Now, with the passage between Soi 2 and Soi 4 closed, it lost its significance.

Do not worry. I was in Landmark now from October 11 till 16, 2023. I was not bothered by any noise. The work is done in what was the restaurant downstairs and Huntsman Pub in the basement.

Rooms are 19 sq meters That's called a cage.

I was there some 10 years ago. Since now is the passage between Soi 2 and Soi 4 closed, the hotels on Soi 2 lost their significance.

I was describing what happened (= nothing) in the hotel lobby, not what happened in my room

I remember a scene in the lift in the Landmark hotel some years ago with may exSO. An arabic couple was in the lift with us. The man stood in front of her wife so that she could not see the ladyboy I was with and prevented her from being "hit by the vice" this way.

Not sure what would happen if you showed up with a 6 ft glamazon in a sequin dress. I did exactly that several times. Absolutely nothing happened.

Thanks for the review. The hotel underwent a major renovation and changed names. I stayed there several times before renovation. The location is excellent for Cindy's Secrets and in general for the action on Soi 11.

I stayed so many times in Landmark that they give me now a free upgrade each time I come. I had a corner room at the top floor (29 I think) for 2200 baht in May 2022.

Landmark ! Hands down.

Yes it is. I stayed there in May 2022. Took tons of ladyboys from CIB and Cindy's to my room. Absolutely no problem.

There is a quite new Hyatt Regency hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 13 in Bangkok: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/thailand/hyatt-regency-bangkok-sukhumvit/bkkhr . Does anybody know if this hotel is ladyboy-friendly? I know that I could ask them directly - and surely I will do it - but I would like to know if somebody stayed in that hotel and was taking overnight ladyboy guests there. Thanks in advance.

SMECTA also helps a lot.

Mercure is the previous President Palace. It was a good hotel with large rooms, but needed renovation. The renovation has been done. I have not been in the hotel since the renovation.

Wrong plan. Apply for an International Driving Licence (IDL) in your home country. It is valid 3 years. If you stay in Thailand longer (not only on a tourist visa), you can get a Thai driving licence without any tests, based on the IDL.

Forget it! Learn programming (C++, Java, Perl) and web design (Javascript, PHP, HTML, etc) in your home country. Then you can work as a digital nomad in Thailand, e.g. in Bangkok, Pattaya or elsewhere. Read this: http://nomadlist.com/

It is the high season now, therefore they apply the high prices. Once low season come, you would get a considerable discount going up to 50%.

If your flight is at 1am, you must be at the airport at 11pm at the latest. That means, you must leave lower Sukhumvit, resp. Soi 2, around 10pm. Negotiate a late check-out with Majestic Grande. Normally, they do it for 50% of the rate you paid. If you are a regular returning customer, they could even waive it, but it is doubtful. My plan in your case would be to get an early ST with a ladyboy, then check out around 8pm, get a dinner somewhere around the hotel (there are many options), then take a taxi to the airport.

I am looking for a good hotel in Pattaya and Patong with the following specifications. Any ideas? 1. Modern hotel, either 4* or 5*. 2. No joiner fee and no problem with bringing in ladyboys. 3. Having a large pool 50m long, since I like to swim. 4. Close to action. 5. Soft bed. Some examples and their drawbacks: In Patong: BYD Lofts: Very small pool, more a wash basin. Far away from the action. Patong Resort: Pool is OK (even two pools), but hotel is old and starts to look run down. Yorksher Inn: Small rooms, which look like the interior of a U-boot. Nap: 1500 baht joiner fee. La Flora: 2000 baht joiner fee. The Lantern: 1000 baht joiner fee and rooms look like the interior of a U-boot. Baipho: No pool. You cannot swim in the jacuzzi on the roof. Patong Towers: Extremely small pool. It's a joke. Patong Beach Hotel: Ladyboys not allowed, even when they do an evening show there on Thursdays. KEE Resort: No ladyboys allowed. In Pattaya: Areca Lodge: Pool is OK, but the beds are hard and it starts to look run down, even the Evergreen wing. Avani: 1000 baht joiner fee. LK Metro: The whole hotel looks awful and kitsch. Seven Zea Chick hotel: far away from the action. Siam@Siam: Away from the action.

I was on Lebua with Patricia in October 2013. No issues whatsoever.

Landmark is a 5* hotel which went through a complete renewal. The club rooms and the corner rooms are quite nice. Many LBs like to go there. It is a kind of a status symbol for many LBs if they were taken there.
