gazz469 43 #1 Posted October 30, 2014 After a dozen trips staying at the Dynasty Grande in Soi 6 it's time to move on. Close to Nana was always the main attraction plus a good sized pool and a decent gym helped. Now I have discovered CIB as THE bar in BKK it's time to get closer to the contemporary action. On my last visit recently I made just the one excursion to Charade to meet up with Shasha again and one to Temptations where I left with a CIB gal who was there with their volleyball representatives. How times have changed since Cascade,Obsessions,Guess,Casanova and Temptations were all that was needed? I have searched and noted MacBoutique,Maxim's Inn and i Check Inn have received favourable comments in this section but maybe there's some other accommodation I should look at close to CIB. Amari in Soi 5 is indicated as not being LB friendly.I realise a pool and a gym may not be an option. SM I know you are a specialist in this area! Thanks in advance for any responses.

Siam Man 2,298 #2 Posted October 30, 2014 SM I know you are a specialist in this area! Thanks in advance for any responses. OTS is our specialist, but I don't think either of us value a pool or gym that much. I try to move around to check out other properties. Most recently I stayed on Soi 2 at Aspen suites which has a small pool but not much privacy. They have a shuttle that takes you to Sukhumvit. Aspen is good for longer stays with a kitchenette and big refrigerator. I also also stayed next door at the i Check Inn Ploenchit. I liked the room there better than i Check Inn on Soi 7/1. I find that hotel to be the best value for location if your a CIB regular. Maxim Inn has raised in price over the last two years. It used to be in the 30 AUD a night range and now the same room is in the 40 AUD range. As for pools and gyms I guess you would have to look to pay more and stay at JW Marriot which is ladyboy friendly. Great reviews in this section on it. If you can deal with being further away on Soi 11 Lefenix is around 45 to 50 AUD and has a gym and a pool. 1 gazz469 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazz469 43 #3 Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you Siam Man. I am willing to forgo a hotel gym and pool to get closer to the CIB action so I appreciate your response. The gym at the Landmark is available on a short term,non-guest basis anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
