oliver17 10,597 #1 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I wasn't sure where to place this thread, so it may get moved to the "Hotel Review" section. Anyhow...... A BM here recently asked about the ladyboy guest policies of a BKK hotel. This gave me the idea to email various hotels around lower Sukhumvit inquiring about their guest policies and whether ladyboys are welcome as overnight guests. The hotels I contacted are all within walking distance of Nana Plaza, CIB, Paradise bars as well as other LB venues such as Nuch Salon. I focused on hotels located on the odd number Soi side of Sukhumvit since most guys are already familiar with the policies of the hotels on the even number Soi side such as Marriott, Phachara, Heaven@4, etc. They all received an identical email from me: Hello, Can you tell me what your guest policy is? Can I have a ladyboy guest stay in my room overnight? Thank You, ******* ***** The hotels I have received replies from so far are listed in the order they responded, along with their Soi location as well as the per-night price for a standard room. I contacted places ranging from budget hotels on up to higher end properties like the Sofitel and the Westin. The replies are all verbatim. If you need clarification, their email addresses are on their websites. As they respond, I will continue to update here. I will also be emailing other hotels for the purpose of determining what their guest / ladyboy policies are as well. ______________ Hotel Solo Sukhumvit 2 Soi 2 1840 baht per night Warm greeting from Hotel Solo Sukhumvit Soi 2!!

I work in the F&B department so not 100% sure either. Out of curiosity, I sent an email to the Mandarin Oriental asking what their ladyboy policy is. So far, no response.

monsieur 44 #14 Posted May 9, 2015 Actually i would inverse the question. Does any of you had any problems once bringing a ladyboy to his hotel ? I know i never had (although i don't do it anymore, preferring using ST hotel). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youngone 2,258 #15 Posted May 9, 2015 Does any of you had any problems once bringing a ladyboy to his hotel ? I've had guest issues (GG&LB) at the following hotels: Mandarin Oriental: no problems during the day but my guest got refused at night, even the offer of leaving ID and paying for a second person got declined; the only option would have been to purchase a 2nd room for the night under my guests name. Considering the price I was paying for their 'Executive Suite' I was annoyed, checked out the next day and haven't been back since ( except to indulge in the lunch buffet at Lord Jim's from time to time). Dusit Thani (Silom): polite and discreet receptionists, but they did charge a 1000 Baht joiner fee to my room after taking my guests ID. I complained at check-out and it was withdrawn although I reckon it's their policy. The Sukhothai(Sathorn): just as polite and discreet as the Dusit, but they also charged a 1000 Baht joiner fee which wasn't withdrawn after complaining. The St.Regis: No joiner fee got charged, there was a lot of hassle with security to get her up to my room. Grand Hyatt Erawan ( where Spasso is in the basement): if you come in via reception chances are ID is taken and joiner fee charged. If you take the hidden elevator just outside Spasso in the basement you circumvent reception and you go straight up to your room without being asked for ID or charged.

Also they check the ID card and say rather loudley you know its ladyboy ? My reply each night was to give the ladyboy a kiss and say yes i know.

scottie1954 612 #17 Posted May 9, 2015 Well known Majestic Grande is LB friendly and never had a single problem even when LB comes on their own and demand to access my room. They simply leave the ID at reception and before this is returned I got a call. Day or night. So friendly and secure. Makes sense to tip night security from time to time so they remember you. A couple of times when I was going in with a good friend and reliable LB I simply winked at security and said "all ok, don't worry" and no ID was demanded. Orher times they insisted as "hotel policy" and we obliged not a big deal at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver17 10,597 #18 Posted May 9, 2015 I added 7 more hotels to the original post today. I have several more emails out that have not yet been answered. I will give those another day or two to reply. If they haven't responded, I will resend the requests. If they don't respond for the second email, I will post them here as non-responsive, and guys can reach their own conclusions about their hospitality toward ladyboys. Hard to tell which practice is more odious - the (several) hotels that charge 1K baht joiner fees, or the Ambassador's 20 baht charge to run a girl's ID thru their copier machine. 2 scottie1954 and flipflops reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lb_beginner 742 #20 Posted May 9, 2015 Be Aire Princess hotel Soi 5 told me they charge 1000 baht for a guest up on arrival. I had booked 6 nights there. Also they check the ID card and say rather loudley you know its ladyboy ? My reply each night was to give the ladyboy a kiss and say yes i know. I stayed there as well, and the response was the same. Altho they did not charge a joiner fee since it was only daytime action. But they were repeating the "do you know it is a ladyboy" over and over again. Either due to that they don´t like them, or that they had indecents before with guests getting a little surprise in the loom Edit: Great overview tho, tnx a lot!

madison 43 #21 Posted May 10, 2015 I always stay at the Sofitel Sukhumvit and no problems ever. They don't require an ID or at least did not ask for it and no extra charges. i just brought the girls straight up and they are very discreet. I can recommend it highly. It's a typical hotel chain hotel and not very original but centrally located and very good overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lb_beginner 742 #22 Posted May 11, 2015 LeFenix Sukhumvit soi 11 are quite practical since they will send the lb/gg up to your room after calling and confirm. Some of the rooms are a bit tired now, so I recommend the Deluxe-rooms. If you do bring them urself you can take the elevator straight up from ground floor. I´ve done that several times, but (for the newbies) it´s always added safety that reception holds their ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes taking the elevator from the ground floor, the security guard may be there and he will check the ID card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodrigo 1,015 #24 Posted May 11, 2015 I hate when hotels try to treat us as imbeciles. Of course they know that we know there are lbs. It is trying to humiliate us. I normally book a room for two people and if they try to charge a joiner fee I tell them to check her in as the 2nd person in the room. Since I have already paid for 2 people they have to check her in. The next day I inform she has checked out. 2 OneTrueSaxon and vinya2000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
