I was in Kingston suites at the end of December. IMO the hotel is not as good as it used to be. The rooms are getting older and some of the facilities aren't working as they should. If you think you are getting a good deal, sure go for it. But personally they're no longer one of my go to hotels.
-
I just stayed 2 nights there. The rooms are modern and clean. Convenient to nana. The roof top bar makes a tasty cocktail and has decent views. Worth checking out if you can find a good price.
Fyi the check in is separated, the lower rooms are for Ibis and higher rooms for Novotel. For now they share a breakfast area though.
Lastly, there's no business lounge which is a shame.

Oops my bad, must've been rushing and only saw Sheraton.
In any case, Sheraton is fantastic and I would recommend wholeheartedly.
-
Excellent hotel, super convenient for Soi Cowboy. the room I stayed in previously overlooked lake ratchada. Girl friendly also.
-
Agree with others, either renting the whole apartment or not at all. No need to rent just a room for somewhere as cheap as Bangkok.
-
Can try calling/emailing/showing up at the hotel to book direct, but there's no guarantee.
You'll probably have to settle for a worse/more expensive hotel.

Staph infections are no joke, they absolutely can kill people if left untreated. Sorry to hear buddy.

What is the "standard" price for a moto between SC and NEP? 40-50b?

Booked a last minute trip about an hour ago. Fly in 9th, fly out 14th. I think this is maybe my 9th trip? Let me know if anyone wants to grab a beer and/or go barhopping. I'm late 20s and look Japanese haha.

Unless you're going to taxi to/from your hotel every time I would suggest the hotel closer to sukh road. Girls aren't going to want to walk that far. Hotel gyms are pretty terrible in terms of weights anyway.
I would suggest Kingston suites. Great rooms, large bathrooms, walkable to sukh road, can use the (crappy) gym of an affiliated hotel next door.

Use a rubber.

Jasmine city hotel was quite nice a few years ago
-
I've always used dtac, no complaints. Ais seems reasonable too.
-
I've stayed at of of their suites for a week a while back. Rooms are perfectly acceptable but the property is a few minutes away from the main road, meaning girls won't be thrilled walking there, and since it's a one way street cars will have to drive up soi 5 and loop around.
-
Yes its a good choice for your first trip. The clientele is almost entirely mongers so zero problems with staff, breakfast was provided when I was there 18 months ago, and in some rooms you can literally see the nep bars.
It'd be perfect if it was cheaper though.
-
Jasmine city (jasmine suites) was pretty nice when I stayed there last year. Super close too.
-
Ratchada/huai khwang is literally in the middle of soapy central, so technically you're still in the centre of the "night life".
I've stayed here a few times, mostly budget places for only a few days each time and I found the level of english speakers drop dramatically once you leave sukhumvit/tourist-centric areas. Are you 100% set on being away from the nightlife?
-
I assume you mean crossing sukhumvit road. You can cross on several bridges, there's usually one every few hundred meters and you can cross at the bts station also.
There's a fence separating the 2 sides and signs saying jaywalking has a 200b fine.
-
You can just email the hotel and ask them if they charge extra if you bring back a guest to your room.
-
1. Nana plaza, soi 4. Thermae, ruamchitt hotel
2. You mean cosplay places where you can bang the girls? Or japanese looking thai girls?
-
I like their suites. Its a bit of a walk to the main street. I did see plenty of indian guests but over the period of a week I didn't have a single issue with any of them
-
11Th - 17th, trip #5 I think
-
If you're not planning on using it much then I recommend dtac. They have a 99b/30 days data pack charge that includes 100mb data. Excellent if your hotel had decent wifi
