Forgot about that one. Stayed there in March 2014 and the bar Mulligan’s next door stays open for the Champions League matches as well as late Premier League kick off’s

Citrus Soi 11 opened in 2015 and stayed there five times now. Situated in Soi 11 alley so quite and just a short walk to Soi 3 Only negative is no pool but you can use the one in Soi 13 Le Fenix was ok back in 2009 but not stayed there since. Grand Business Inn also good but no in room safe but safe deposit boxes behind reception sorry for lack of information but at work at the moment

You’ll see the odd ladyboy around. Especially it the food hall in Tesco Lotus and the usual food outlets such as KFC, MacDonald’s and Starbucks. I do remember a stunning ladyboy having a stall of moblie phone accessories and even took her to lunch. No idea if she’s still there, but was game for it. As Mikel as said it as changed a bit with the night market getting knocked down and replaced with Condos. I used to spend many a good night starting off there listening to live bands and the food stalls were the best around. It used to attract a lot university gg’s and lbs. i know what you mean about Nana being in your face when staying there. It’s good to get away from it and relax.

I’ve stayed at @Mind a few times and take the one bedroom suite and it’s only a couple of quid more and well worth it. previous post I did on the hotel @Mind Executive Suites Sukhumvit Soi 85 I have already posted the pictures above a couple of posts earlier the day I arrived. I had meant to do a report on the hotel there and then but with one thing another (drink & LBS mostly) I could not get it done. Here is a brief outline. After arriving at 9.30 at the airport and I had not made an early room booking. I decided to take the airport link train and change at Phaya Thai BTS to the hotel in On Nut soi 85 It takes about 5 to 8 minutes walk from On Nut BTS to the hotel that is just inside soi 85  To my surprise I could check in to my 1 bed room suite straight away. First thing I noticed was how new things were and how clean it was. The rooms are of good design with a dining table for two at the far end of the room from the balcony Sofa (can be made in to a spare bed) and table with a flat screen tv & dvd player. Kitchen as everything you need including coffee, tea sugar and a kettle. Plus a microwave too. Its as a large refrigerator not a mini bar There is a balcony with a sink to wash shorts etc after swimming or you can use the balcony to smoke if that's your thing. Wifi was excellent in both bedroom and lounge room "two flat screen tv's in one in bedroom and one in Lounge room. The same with Air con which was nice as you could leave lounge on low for breakfast in the morning. Rather than have to wait 10 - 15 minutes for it to cool. I was given two key cards and kept one in the key slot to keep the rooms at a low cool temp. Bathroom as shower with a rain shower above. LB friendly as I brought two back on my first night and one back each night after that for the five nights I stayed there. Location. Well it's pretty far from Nana to walk but 15 mins BTS 37 baht and 70 to 80 baht coming back in a taxi ROOM AMENITIES WiFi internet access Private Balcony LED TV with satellite channels & DVD player Microwave oven Refrigerator Private deposit box Individual air conditioning adjustment In room coffee and tea making facilities Bathroom with toiletries Pantry SAFETY FEATURES Electronic door locks Door latch Fire escape plan In-room electronic safe Smoke detector jacuzzi, fitness room and sauna (Open hour:06.00 – 21.00 hrs.).

I do like the new way to confirm your not a robot when re-signing in

International break was worse ! Even though Sterling scored four goals

I was enjoying the break myself. Well done in getting it back up Kendo & co. Couldn't you break it for a couple of months next time though

Last time I was there, was with you for breakfast before catching my plane back to the UK

I have been eating and drinking at this bar for so many years i forgot how many. It's good if you are picky with your breakfast, as I don't eat eggs or mushrooms. They have a build you're own menu, so you can pick what you want for breakfast. The steak & Kidney pie is massive. i aways stop here for Sunday lunch as well and the coffee is Bon Cafe so which I like. Last trip i had the Pork for Sunday lunch pic included plus two of the steak menu & Sunday lunch menu. Also very good to watch sport. Though was in there when England got knocked out of the Worl Cup by Germany in 2010, but watched City beat Sunderland to win the Charity Shield in March 2014

Excellent review mate and accompanied with some fantastic photos.

Le Fenix Sukhumvit is a fun little hotel in Bangkok I have only stayed here the once back in February 2009 and I liked the hotel a lot, though I should think about using it again I always recommend to those who love clubs and bars.So it's a convenient hotel with no joiner fees if you choose to take a bar girl or freelancer back to your room. The reception is on the first floor and their is a lift in the car park that takes you straight up using your key card. Or if you wish you can go via reception The place is designed in line with club and party minded guests. There is a decent roof top bar on the top floor called the Nest and even though the building is 8 stories tall you still get a decent view of the surrounding area. I went a each night but on the last night gave it a miss, As I swear that's were the mozzies bit me all down my arms, while lying sipping cocktails on one of the beds. There's a small swimming pool and gym. A free tuk tuk ride to the BTS Nana station which is right in front of Sukhumvit Soi 11. Though the biggest perks is you get free entrance to Q Bar and Bed Supperclub (only during non-special events). Normally you'd have to pay 500THB to 700THB entry free just to get in to both clubs. And you also get 20% off for food at Bed Supperclub so it pays to be a hotel guest at Le Fenix. The hotel is located a little ways down on Suk Soi 11. About 300 meters and right across from Q Bar. So it's easy to find. Though if you find the walk a little bit too far, the hotel does provide tuk tuk service to take you to the entrance of Sukhumvit road. And right in front is the BTS Nana station. And the location is an ideal point for visiting Soi Cowboy or Nana go go bars. Because it's right in between the two red light districts. So you can walk to either one in about 10 minutes. As I mentioned earlier you book a standard or superior room for about 1400THB through Agoda.com. It's not a bad price at all for a 3 star hotel in the middle of everything a single guy could need. And it's a guest friendly hotel right on Sukhumvit so no problems with inviting bar girls or freelancers to a room there. Here's the email confirmation below for your reference:. The only annoying problem I had was the light in the wardrobe would not go out when you shut the doors. most honest hotel I have stayed. I forgot to shut the safe door one morning and when I arrived back at the hotel, Their was a note saying to go to reception. They went up to the room opened the safe, as the cleaning staff told them it was open so they set it back to reset. I checked and everything was in order. Big tip for cleaning staff when I left as well as recption.

The road works started back in 2017. As this Soi used to flood every time it rained hard. They dug up the Soi and put a new drainage system in. I remember my mate had to park his car further down the Soi to pick me up as he was taking me to the airport. The water was knee high. I now normally stay at Citrus 11 but use the pool in 13 as it is just a 10 minute stroll away. Though I always get reception to ring a head and leave a card for me to use the lift.

Fantastic review and have been looking at this and a Citrus Soi 6 as the two choices of hotels for my next trip

I thought I’d seen Siam Man do a review of here. Things must have changed these days

Excellent review ! Thanks Thinking of giving it a go next trip as I’ve enjoyed the other Citrus hotels in Soi 13 & 11

It was Chris who recommended it to me and got me a suite there by phoning a head for me, while me and Michelle were on our way back from Hua Hin. He got me mates rates as well as that was the kind of guy he his

Yeah it’s LB friendly. My mate stayed there with his LB girlfriend.

Yeah me and LB Michelle stayed there six nights back March in 2013 cheers Rkid doing ok mate

Stayed at The Rembrandt Suites which is connected to the hotel by the underground car park The large living room consists of TV, music center, work table for laptop, dinning table with four chairs and a kitchen with oven, microwave, kettle and a large fridge, the bedroom was large enough as was the bathroom. A fresh bowl of fruit each day and a daily paper in English. The room was on the 12th floor and there was a large swimming pool on the 11th which we could see from our windows. Tv in the bedroom as well as the living room

A couple of photos from last year whole under construction

I’ve stayed at the Dynasty and the Pachara in soi 6 last year on two different trips and find it a great location. I ended up with an upgrade at Pachara in November and from the pool balcony saw Citrus under construction. Looking forward to staying there soon. pictures of upgrade in Pachara suites

it’s not that time consuming as everything is laid on for you when you do the bell bus service. But yes it did go to the airport to pick up some more passengers. I much prefer Ekkamia to Pattaya for its speed but at the end of the day door to door taxi for 1200 baht is much better

Bell bus will pick you up in a mini bus and transfer you to a bus and when you arrive in Pattaya, they will transfer you to a mini van, which will take you to your hotel. Think it was about 300 baht when I used it in 2011

Buses run from Ekkamai bus station to Pattaya and it’s just next to Ekkamai BTS. Three stops from Asoke BTS. when you arrive at Pattaya bus station their are baht buses or motorcycle taxis that can take you to your hotel.
