BKKSC

Just wanted to update, stayed there December 2016, and will be back May 2017. Staying at Phachara again. Good location.

All rooms have a combo washer/dryer (so I can pack light).
They DO have smoking rooms.

Check in was sllllloooooooooowww. Took them 30 minutes just to check me in. They were friendly, just very slow.

Friendly employees.

Nice rooms.

The gym is barely okay. Dumbbells, 2 treadmills, 2 benches, water, towels and a few machines from 1980.

Decent breakfast buffet (if you prepaid while booking).



They are a pain in the ass about bringing guests back. YES you will have to check in guests at night AND I think there is a 1 guest limit per day. 

3-5 min walk to skytrain.

TWO 7-11's less than 1 minute walk.

Request a room with walk in shower. Nice and roomy shower.

May 16- June 1 in BKK.

I booked a room for January '17 from Orbitz.com

I was able to select from Smoking or Non-Smoking. I picked Smoking and it says that on my booking confirmation email. I personally don't mind if they do not have smoking as I typically don't smoke inside the room anyways. I'll update when I check in, unless if someone beats me to it.

Looks like we're gonna have a decent little group for mid January. see you all on the ground!

Okay, researching further, apparently you can buy testosterone in a pharmacy in Thailand without a prescription.

Now the question is, does anyone know which pharmacy around nana area will sell legit gear to a tourist? I want to buy a few vials of Test cypionate.

coming 12 January to 26 jan

Make sure you join the BKK on the ground Line group. Or PM me your line info if you wanna grab a beer or something. Ill be there the 14-26.

USD to THB is looking pretty good right now. :D

12/8/2016 - 1 USD = 35.62 THB

BKK Jan 14-26
Staying at Phachara Suites @ Suk Soi 6, very close to Nana

Thanks for the update on Phachara. I look forward to my stay in Jan '17.

I'm glad they have a washer/dryer in the room which will allow me to pack much lighter for a near 2 week stay.

You can pick them up at Boots or any other chain pharmacy. It's the gel type, not patch. Works great. Lower prices than back home.

Are you serious? Testosterone over the counter? Ive asked for test at pharmacies in BKK and they tell me "you need a prescription"... I highly doubt it's available OTC...

 

I would love to buy testosterone on my next visit lol.

Has anyone recently stayed at Phachara suites on soi 6 by Nana?

 

How was it? Breakfast, location, gym, service, guest friendly, etc?

 

Thanks for any info. [emoji1] [emoji106]

Ok flight has been booked. Will be there Jan 14-26.

Haven't decided on a hotel yet.. looking for something with a self service laundry facility. I'll report back with hotel choice when I book it.


If anyone needs a wing man, send me a message.  :D

Thinking about doing a mid  Jan trip. Maybe around Jan 8-25'ish.

Do they have a washer/dryer to use? Im looking for a cheap place with access to washer/dryers... so far I only know of Grand President on Soi 11 and Phachara Suites on Soi 6.

I should be there 9/1-9/10'ish

PM me if you want a wingman. we can communicate on Line as it gets closer.

Ive only seen fake roshe one's and airmax at MBK. Never seen fake Jordans or Yeezys in Bangkok.

Thanks guys! Now I know what to get and whats available. I appreciate it.

haha, I don't drink much, but when I do, I actually prefer a "light" beer. I'll have a Heineken Light, or something like that on the rare occasions that I do have a beer here at home in the USA.

My question is, in typical beer bars, gogos, beer gardens etc, what kind of "light" beers are available?

Asking the waitress seems like pulling teeth, and they don't know or have a clue half the time. I'd rather just know a few locally available light beers and say the name directly, instead of asking.

Can you please post some easily available light beers? I'm not picky since I'm not a beer connoisseur or anything. Just want something light, refreshing, cheap, and low calories.

I've had the regular Heinekens, Chang, Singha, etc... but all have been the regulars. Looking for "light".

Thanks!

I will be in bkk during April also, but I purposely booked my trip a few days after Songkran. LOL, I hate getting wet, dirty, and dealing with crazy crowds etc. lol

If you don't mind it, it looks like a very fun time! Enjoy your trip! I'll be there beginning April 19th

All booked and ready to go.

 

Staying in Soi 8 (Bangkok all the time) arriving late afternoon at the hotel time for the triple S, and then ready to party!!!!

 

Drinks, food and Ladies- Paradise on Earth!

 

I would like to meet members of this forum.

 

Late 40's, no fat and a pervert mind!!!

Dates in BKK? most important detail lol

Another one to the list, Phachara Suites. According to website, all rooms have a Washer/Dryer. ~$65-100 USD per night

Hi, there is a 2014 thread about this topic. But hope to update it.

Can you guys please post hotels with Washer/Dryer in the rooms...? AND possibly the average price per night.

Thank you!


I know Grand President on Soi 11=  Suites and Jr. Suites have Washer/Dryer in room. Hoping to find others.

Stayed at Grand President Soi 11, no probs with noise. Decent location. 

April 19-27 looks official. Will be staying on Sukhumvit road near the nana area as usual. Havent picked a hotel yet. Let me know if you'll be around those dates and wanna grab a bite, beer, or whatever. Im in my mid 30's

Ive stayed at legacy express on sukhumvit/ soi 1. cheap, clean, close to nana. There is a 7/11 downstairs super convenient.

Its like $35 us a night. no problems ever. stayed there 3 times now. 5 min walk to nana. 5 min walk to skytrain station.
