I would say it depends. If you only stay a couple nights and you ask nicely. You check in late in the evening. The hotel is half full or half empty. The person who check you in is a supervisor or have the authority to upgrade you. The hotel could not save the rooms and sell them tomorrow. It will be a waste anyway. He or she may let you to have a nicer room.

Good points. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask them when I get there. The worse that they can say is no.

If looking at one of the SPG properties (Westin, Four Points, Sheraton Grande) then click the hotels website and then check under the offers page where you will usually find better rates than off their main page.

You can pick up a 3 night stay for cheaper than their lowest pre paid rate advertised.

The stay 4 pay 3 is not as good value as the stay 3 pay 2 rate.

I am going to look at the different rates now. I have been to each of those websites but never looked for specials or promotions. Thanks again.

Thank you, mrfreeze. I am looking at several hotels at the moment on that side of Sukhumvit. I stayed in the Landmark twice last year and really liked it. I am staying there again this year for the beginning of my trip. I just wanted to be close to Soi Cowboy at the end of the trip for no real reason other than to try out another hotel. I am also looking at the Westin, Four Points, and Grand Swiss. I can upgrade to suite type rooms at those places (maybe not the Westin) for roughly the same price as the Sofitel.

I'm sure all of them are fine. I just want a suite for my last 4 days.

Does anyone have a guess on what the chances are to get upgraded at the Sofitel if I am a first time customer booking the lowest class of room that they offer? I'm pretty sure it is zero, but I thought I would ask.

I apologize for straying a bit from the original topic.

Adelphi suites is GF. I took two at a time during the day and no issues. They have a decent restaurant for breakfast and lunch as well.

Good info, jak0063. I emailed them and asked about their policy for more than one guest at a time and they just said "not allowed." They didn't say there was a joiner fee or anything for the second guest just not allowed. The did say that one guest was fine.

I may have to rethink my choices if they allow more than one at a time.

Bring a pen to fill out the card before you get off the plane. Sometimes they are hard to come by and it might slow you down having to fill it out once you get to the immigration desk.

No need to get one prior to arrival. They will stamp your passport at the airport and it is good for a 30 day stay. If there's a fee associated with it (I don't know if there is or not) it should be included in the price of your airline ticket.

I used a DTAC 'happy tourist' plan. Two weeks including unlimited data. It was great.

Same here. No complaints from me either. Had to top it up do to sending text messages back home but was easy to do in 7-11.

Do you mind if I watch this thread? I have some very similar questions. I have 4 nights booked at the Landmark for the first part of my trip but wouldn't mind trying somewhere on the other side of Sukhumvit for the last 4 nights. . I thought I might want to be closer to Asoke/Cowboy, but Soi 11 sounds like a good place to be as well.

I'm particularly interested in the Grand Swiss too.

Thanks for that info. Sure sounds easier than the old way.

Please update us when you get your confirmation approval.

Thanks again.

I know the barfine process can be a little intimidating but you just have to throw your nuts on the table and do it. After you do it once or twice it shouldn't be a big deal.

Skip the bullshit about the Karma. You will have plenty of time to do that when you are back at home. Focus on the pussy!!

Have fun and let us know how it goes.

Don't want to start a new thread either, but can anyone update the board with fresh information on where to find a reliable pharmacy near Sukhumvit for Super Kamagra as well?

Good deal. Have a good time either way.

Where are u coming from and where will u be staying?

I am coming from the US. I will be staying in the Landmark Hotel in Bangkok for the first part of the trip then I have a condo rented at View Talay 6 in Pattaya. I don't have a place for the last three night yet. I figure I would decide if I want to spend those in Bangkok or just stay in Pattaya. Either way, I will book that room while I am there.
