Glad it all worked out. Shows that there are still good people left in the world. Any significant changes to the hotel after they reopened? Just curious.

Most, if not all, of the popular hotels also have their own websites. You can book directly through them via their websites as well with full confidence. Another option is to visit their websites to check prices and then head over to agoda, booking.com, hotels.com, etc. to compare prices against each other and against the hotel itself. I've used all of the options and they all work as expected.

Temporary Luggage storage
smithzac91 replied to frankmustho's topic in General discussion about Bangkok
I saw this on YouTube a while ago. If you are in the area of Siam Paragon or Discovery, this might be convenient. https://www.siamparagon.co.th/happening/LOCK-BOX-PLUS-at-OneSiam/670 -
I like the idea of a condo or apartment instead of a hotel in Bangkok even for a short stay. I have never used AirBnB before but I have looked at the site and tried to figure things out. I get a little confused and find it hard to understand why most places just don't tell you the name of the building so that you can map it out and determine if the place is right for your stay. No big deal. I have always used only a condo in Pattaya and only a hotel in Bangkok. I like the sense of freedom that a condo brings moreso than a hotel. I would be interested in more details about serviced apartments too as it seems like you get the best of both worlds.

Anyone else not able to access the PA forum? I tried both on browser and with Tapatalk. Neither worked. Just wondering. I'm sure they will get it fixed soon.

clubs/nightlife status at the moment?

Add Hillary 2 to the mix as well. Several people say it is like the old Climax. It isn't as big (as far as I remember) but there are plenty of freelancers in there after Nana Plaza closes. -
Landmark Hotel Advice Please
smithzac91 replied to mbkk's topic in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok
No real reason. I seem to spend most of my time, with the exception of visiting Nana Plaza and Soi 4, on the odd side of Sukhumvit. I hate crossing the road because I can be a lazy ass sometimes. I do agree, that if you are visiting Nana, it is certainly an advantage. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk -
Landmark Hotel Advice Please
smithzac91 replied to mbkk's topic in Hotels & Accommodations in Bangkok
I've stayed in a corner room twice. Once I paid for it and once I was upgraded for no apparent reason. I have also stayed in a premium room twice. The corner room gives you a bit more space that is filled with a couch, chair and a coffee table. If that's worth the extra money to you, then book it. I do prefer the corner room but I didn't use the couch or chair to do anything but set things on. When I look at it like that, it's really not worth the extra money. I would also say that the regular premium room is nice but not spectacular. It's probably easily compared with a few hotels in the area. The things that I like most about the Landmark it's location in reference to Nana Plaza and the no hassle policy with the girls. The things that I like least about the hotel is that I wish it was on the opposite side of Sukhumvit and I wish there was a decent laundry place nearby. Don't get me wrong, I love the place but nothing is perfect. Hope this helps. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk -
$200 per night - ouch! Their prices do tend to fluctuate though. Good point about the secret entrance off of Soi 17. It's also convenient to use when visiting Terminal 21 and other places in that direction. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk

Landmark is great, in my opinion. Very close to Nana and not too far from Cowboy. I like Four Points by Sheraton on Soi 15 as well. Closer to Cowboy but an easy walk to Nana as well. I've stayed at both more than once and really can't choose one over the other. Both are very guest-friendly. You can either leave your friends ID at reception when bringing them upstairs or not. Up to you. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk

Best spot for american style breakfast?

^^^What he said. If you come in from the Soi 17 side you do not pass the desk so it's easy to skip. They have never asked me either when coming in on the Soi 15 side but I'm sure they would take the ID's if you walked up to the counter and requested it. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk

I have only stayed in Four Points.and will be staying there again for 7 nights in December. They leave you alone when coming in with a lady (or 2). I assume they would take her ID if asked but I never bothered. Not saying you shouldn't bother, I just chose not to. You are correct about the location. Almost in the middle of Nana and Cowboy and a few steps away from Thermae. I choose it over Adelphi because I like the side of Sukhumvit that Four Points is on more than the side that Adelphi is on. Seems like there is more action on that side and Sukhumvit can be a bitch to cross if you get lazy like I do sometimes. Four Points is also close to T21 like you mentioned and I visit there quite a bit to eat and what not. I haven't tried to stay outside of that area yet as I like being in the middle so I wouldn't consider staying at the other hotel that you mention. I have not heard any negatives about the Adelphi but it's just on the wrong side of Sukhumvit for me. I also emailed them a couple of years ago and they replied that there was a fee for taking more than one lady back at the see time. That helped me make my choice on my first trip. I have read reports that say they do allow more than one at no charge but I didn't want to take the chance. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
