I now live here on a retirement visa and have a better perspective of this issue. From an economic point, it only makes sense for hotels to allow LBs to their properties. 99% of hotels in the Nana area allow this. All the hotels require is for the "guest" to register at the hotel desk with their ID card. This applies to both GGs or LBs. Now that I live here, and people know me, I would not think of bringing a "guest" to my condo for fear of embarrassment by my neighbors. Accordingly, I make good use of the many "short-time" rooms in the area. Only 300 baht for up to 2 hours. No fuss no muss, and it is safer as you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder to see if your stuff isn't stolen. So my point is this: As a tourist, which many of the readers of this site are, just get a short-time room for crying out loud! What's the big deal! The real question you should be asking is where is the closest ST room to where I usually frequent. Hi I was wondering if you would be so good as to give me a list of short time rooms or tell me where I can find a list thanks you do make sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any freelance or bar LB you go with will know where all the ST hotels are, and she will take you to the closest one. The PB Hotel over near Bumrungrad is a big favorite with many LBs.

SAGuy 6,767 #103 Posted August 17, 2019 Just to add to Olivers suggestion.... The PB Hotel is down soi 3 on the right hand side and is next to the sub soi that runs all of the way up to soi 11. (Thanks - this is another example of a cut-out soi that can be used to avoid the more crowded Sukhumvit. The upside is that it is very straight. The downside is that there is no pavement, so can be 'dicey' at night if there are cars). Anyway, back to the PB. It is actually 2 businesses. On the left is the low rise 'love motel' with the curtains to hide the car registrations and on the right is the main hotel. I'd recommend the main hotel, as its THB 100-200 more expensive, but in better condition. From memory you get 2 towels and soap and its for 2 hours. They call you when the time is up. It was a clean and efficient place, so not a bad option, if ST places, rather than your own hotel, are your thing. Cheers SAG P.S. The PB alludes to Play Boy!

In the old days when my tastes ran more to GG, the PB Hotel was my go to after a pick up from the Bier Garten on soi 7. It's just a 5 minute stroll around the corner to soi 3 Plus you get the fun of watching our middle Eastern chums late night activities on soi 3. I used to stay on soi 11 and so it was an easy walk back to the hotel from the PB also. Saying that, there's lots of ST places around soi 7, but I'm a creature of habit!

eugenio 157 #106 Posted August 17, 2019 I stayed at the Hansar Hotel a few years ago which is pretty upscale. I never had a problem with LB's, although plenty of high fives from the parking crew haha (seriously). I don't know if anything has changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have frequented PB hotels a lot and the main building is not clean at all anymore. The reason staff hurries to get to the room is to turn on the lights before you see all the bugs dissapearing into their holes. I had the misfortunate to enter first and that made me run down and get my money back. If I have to use PB I now use the low rise building on the left (entering from Soi 11). The beds are also waterproof if you want to pitch the kinky up a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merijnn 10 #108 Posted January 28, 2020 As you maybe know but Majestic Grande (Soi 2) is rebranded as BoubleTree by Hilton. i send them a email about their guest (ladyboy) policy and they replied within 24 hours back to me. No problem and no charge but they have to leave ID at reception. good news :-) 1 Thanks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bimale75 480 #109 Posted May 6, 2023 Do hotels enforce an above 21 year old rule for guests ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scot56 247 #110 Posted May 9, 2023 Some like Dynasty Grande it is over 20 years of age but most is over 21. Sensible either way as you don’t want to be caught with a minor. Taking ID’s at reception seems a sensible precaution. Not only because for some LB’s it’s impossible to tell their age, but the phone call from reception to your room in the morning asking is everything OK before they hand back the ID is an added security. Funny, I’ve stayed recently for three weeks at both the Landmark and the Mercure on Soi 11 and never once was my companion for the night asked to show her ID. You would think for that standard of hotel it would be compulsory. Maybe they don’t want the girls around the reception at check out time. They want the guests business, but turn a blind eye to their activities. 1 1 Bimale75 and Edisto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just for when the guest is a working girl and not a civilian? I remember bringing a girl (civilian) I was on a date with to my hotel last trip and I had her show her ID at the reception because there were signs everywhere saying that all "guests" have to show ID at reception. The girl was 19 years old at the time and instead of keeping the ID the reception just smiled and handed it back to her while they kept the ID overnight of another girl (also civilian) I brought back to my hotel but who was 27 years old. I am planning on meeting the first girl again in 3 months and who will now be 20 years old, will this be a problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously because hotels don't want teenagers cavorting with adults in their rooms, regardless of whether it's p4p or not. I would do the same if were them. Wouldn't you? 1 Edisto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the ID is kept by the reception one of the staff will later enter the details of the ID in a log book. Name, time and date, BIRTHDAY and which room she visited. So if the authorities do a spot check on the hotel they will check for underage women who had visited the hotel with a guest. The hotel probably gave back the ID to the lady because they do not want to get into trouble if they are holding on to her ID if the authorities make a surprise check.

I have brought back an 18 year old girl pre-Covid to Majestic Suites with no problem. However police found Nana Plaza had girls as young as 14 years working in one of the gogo bars there. Bars that were caught with underage employees were shutdown and the mamasan arrested. The short-time hotel rooms in Nana Plaza had to check the girls ID for their age from then on and record them in their log book failing which, the hotel will be suspended or shut down. I guess the practice was then enforced to all hotels in Thailand or at least Bangkok and Pattaya. Post-covid I have found some hotels do check and retain ID (Aspen Suites) and some do not (Hopeland Hotel). It all depends on the hotel you stay in. Going back to your question, the girls should at least be 18 years old if you want to bring back to the hotel but it also depends on the hotel's policy as what ARI23 mentioned in his example.
