Rosewood, Park Hyatt and Waldorff Astoria LB guests experience?
Genghis replied to pointplace's topic in Hotel Reviews
I believe that particular girl is no longer working in p4p and is in a relationship but that's nothing to worry about anyway as plenty of girls would be suitable for what you have in mind. Just go to the bars and find one that you enjoy the company of and with enough experience so they're well established in Bangkok. They'd have suitable clothes and know what to expect from the top hotels already. It's been almost a year now since I stopped mongering so my recommendations are no longer really relevant but a couple of years ago CIB would have had lots of good candidates for the role. Unfortunately reviews of CIB are currently not as positive so check out all the 3 main bars and choose who suits you best rather than go on my endorsements from a long time ago. One more recent suggestion that I can give on the Rosewood if staying there though is to try the Chinese restaurant called Nan Bei on the 19th floor. I went there over Chinese New Year with the in-laws and it was outstanding. Lovely venue too. Obviously, not cheap by Bangkok standards but that's the Rosewood for you. -
Good Mexican food in Bangkok
Genghis replied to Genghis's topic in Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife
I've now tried Cholo's taco truck on Soi 12 on the string recommendation of a friend. It's underneath an apartment building down towards the bottom of Soi 12 so it's a little out of the way but it's a very chilled place to spend some time. The food was very good, especially the fish tacos and birria. We were intending on just having a quick meal but ended up staying a lot longer than planned and eating a lot more than expected partly because the food was delicious but mostly because the staff were in a bit of a party mood. Even though it's a food truck there was a good atmosphere there to hang out and the staff were great. They seemed to be on a mission to get us to drink as many margaritas as possible with us getting a free margarita on arrival and then they were 2 for 1 after that with a few more drinks brought up seemingly at random. I can't be sure if this is how they are normally there as they told me they're taking a few days off over the upcoming holidays but having checked their instagram it seems like there's plenty of drinks being given out normally too. Our plan was to have a quick bite to eat and then head to a few bars as we're not in town for long but after eating and drinking way too much there those plans fell apart. It was fun though and is a very solid recommdation if you're in the mood for good Mexican food at a decent price and it's not that far from the LB triangle but is a nice peaceful spot too. Would I return? Definitely but maybe not if I need to start work early the next day as tequila can deal out plenty of pain the next morning. -
I might just be repeating an overheard scare story here but isn't Dengue more of an issue in the area around Pattaya too? Worth considering for most BMs maybe.

I learned this weekend that my Mrs has never eaten Mexican food so am looking for good recommendations that we can try soon and hopefully add another option to our choice of restaurants when wanting a break from Thai food if she likes it. She's avoided Mexican food previously as like with most Thais she's not big on cheese or sour cream too so ideally I'd prefer something that's authentic Mexican and a bit lighter than Tex-Mex style. The only place I can remember going to in Bangkok for Mexican would be Margarita Storm which I enjoy when out drinking in that area but would like other good suggestions if you have them. So far the leading candidate is Cholo which is a taco truck quite far down Soi 12. Has anyone here been there? A friend of mine swears by it but like me he admits to not knowing Mexican food as well as some people here will.

Izakaya with premium skewers near Nana?
Genghis replied to pointplace's topic in Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife
I'll leave a few recommendations here instead, just in case someone else wants something similar one day. As these restaurants tend to be very small I'll also give the instagram link in case you want to make a booking. First recommendation would be Kuma No Yakitori on Soi 47 in Thonglor area. There's a lot of competition for good Japanese food in this neighbourhood and standards are generally good so just exploring Thonglor and seeing what you fancy isn't a bad idea but this place has still been worth repeat visits despite need to be booked in advance as it's tiny, https://www.instagram.com/kumanoyakitori_bkk/?hl=en In Ekkamai I'd recommend Tori Tama and Torisawa 22, both are on Soi 63. Torisawa is my current favourite but again it's a tiny place that needs booking in advance. A small group of us had a memorable but very drunken meal there last time around so I'm a little bit embarrassed to return but when next in Bangkok the food will be worth dealing with that. https://www.instagram.com/toritamabangkok/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/torisawa22_bkk/?hl=en The streets around Ekkamai have plenty of other good options too. The area around Phrom Phong and Soi 33 is also good for Japanese bars and restaurants but my experiences have been more mixed than a bit further up Sukhumvit. Maybe it's just bad luck because I've picked at random when going to 7 Heaven BJ bar nearby (worth the trip in itself btw) or other similar dens if iniquity. One place that I like a lot in that area though is Unatoto. I've just about sneaked it onto this list as it's not a place for skewers, it's a casual unagi/eel restaurant but at least they're still grilling stuff so I'm happy to cheat a bit. It's good value and very busy but even if there's a queue the wait isn't normally bad. Overall there's plenty of decent Japanese food in BKK. As a result it's probably the cuisine I eat most when wanting a change from Thai and it's rarely been bad even when it's places I wouldn't bother returning to - mostly due to the competition on offer nearby. If you see a random Izakaya that looks busy, it'll be good. -
Izakaya with premium skewers near Nana?
Genghis replied to pointplace's topic in Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife
The best and most varied/specialised Japanese food in Bangkok can be found a little further up Sukhumvit from Nana in the Phrom Phong, Thonglor and Ekkamai neighbourhoods. It's only 2-4 stops on the BTS or a fairly short walk to the area around Soi 33 especially while the weather is cooler. As a rule, you can get okish Japanese food in Nana, better around Asoke and it improves as you get further up Sukhumvit where there's a large Japanese influence particularly between Phrom Phong and towards Thonglor where there's loads of different izakayas of various types. It's well worth exploring this area and seeing what appeals to you if you're really looking for the good stuff. I can recommend a few places in that area if it's not too far as it seems like you're interested in the better options. -
Rosewood, Park Hyatt and Waldorff Astoria LB guests experience?
Genghis replied to pointplace's topic in Hotel Reviews
All 3 are undoubtedly excellent hotels but as you probably know aren't ideally located for mongering so if that's the primary reason for your trip there's better options. If you're in BKK for other reasons and don't mind taking the journey to the nightlife areas then you'll be happy with the choice. If you want to spend the night in the LB bars though I'd choose elsewhere, on Sukhumvit. All 3 are well located for other things except mongering though so I'd base the choice on location and your prime reason for being in BKK. I have only stayed at one of the 3 - the Rosewood and the stay was quite brief as it was a last minute substitute for my regular business hotel and wished I'd stayed longer. It's quite likely somewhere I'll return if looking for a hotel in that area, the building itself is remarkable and the design throughout makes it somewhere I was happy to stay in more than wandering around even though it's in a nice part of town. I had a p4p LB guest there, initially for a ST but she was keen to stay all night then the next night too due to the opportunities to get dressed up and post pics on instagram. We were both very comfortable in the bars and restaurant there, even though she's fairly obviously a LB there were no issues at all as she dressed well. It ended up costing quite a lot as we ran up the type of food and drink bill that make you extremely grateful for expense accounts. They're not at all cheap there and on top of that I feel it's a reasonable expectation that your ST/LT rate will be slightly higher due to inconvenient location and the general expense of the hotel itself - she might feel it's fair to expect a little bit more. It's actually easy to get to the nightlife from this hotel by BTS, it's just 1 stop to Nana from Ploen Chit and that station is attached to the hotel so it can be done no problem even if the location itself is quite different. Getting back to the hotel can be less easy if the BTS has stopped. As for the Park Hyatt, haven't been to their Bangkok hotel but I've never stayed in a bad Park Hyatt, always excellent. No experience of Waldorf Astorias though, it'll no doubt be good. -
Prai Raya Phuket Cuisine Soi 8
Genghis replied to SAGuy's topic in Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife
Great recommendation. I'm a big fan of Southern Thai food and like to try these restaurants out whenever possible even if my stomach (and lower area) hates me for it afterwards so I'll put this on my list, thanks. Out of interest, have you tried many other Southern Thai restaurants too? My favourite is probably Beer Hima Seafood but that's way out in Chatuchak. Some dishes there are ridiculously spicy so while it's bit of a pain getting there from Nana there's potentially more pain afterwards but it's worth it, perhaps like discusses in the bottoming thread here. I've been considering doing a little guide for the forum on the various regional Thai cuisines and some good places to try them. As food is a massive part of Thai life it can be a great way to spend a night out with a LB if you try their authentic food with them. Obviously that's mostly going to be Isaan/Lao with bargirls but I've had some excellent meals with LBs from Southern Thailand that are very proud of their regional food. -
Good thai food near Soi 11?
Genghis replied to pointplace's topic in Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife
If you're ever looking for a high quality (but more expensive than Krua Khun Puk etc of course) option on Soi 11, maybe for a date etc I'd recommend Burapa. It specialises in Eastern Thai food, lots of good seafood and some unusual dishes that you don't see often. It's tje sister restaurant to Sri Trat which is one of my favourite places further up Sukhumvit on Soi 33. The restaurant has a good atmosphere, it's decorated like the Orient Express train and is also a good spot for a few drinks. Not somewhere that I'd recommend for a cheap meal when out mongering but a cool place if you want to take someone out to a very nice restaurant that would still be cheaper than most other date type venues we've discussed previously here and with food that would probably be better than most of them too IMO, for Thais at least. -
Btw @waterplay my response wasn't intended to be harsh or to flame you so hopefully you don't read it as such. Instead I was just hoping to help you feel confident when going about the business of mongering in Thailand as the things we enjoy doing there are routine everyday behaviour and nobody judges you for that.

I've got a business idea, looking for investors: How about we open up a hotel in the middle of one of the world's biggest red light districts and LB capital of the world? Our unique selling point would be that we won't cater to the main reasons guests go there and will also break Thailand's anti-discrimination laws for good measure. If you are interested in investing please let me know as I also have a few bridges for sale.

They all are. Not sure why this question gets asked so often. Book your room for 2 people to avoid any potential joiners fees. Have fun!

I'll be doing similarly from October this year. Currently undecided as to whether that will be in Bangkok or Chiang Mai yet as my GF has a job contract offer for CM and it could be an interesting change for a while.
