I booked flights today...... And tonight they are slightly cheaper for the same flights :(

 

April 14 to 29th is when I am there.

so is the hyatt place on soi 24 girl friendly?

 

I have never stayed at a Hyatt property so can not comment on if any or all are girl friendly but have stayed at a few of the SPG and Marriott Properties in Bangkok and have had no issue, even when walking in with 2 girls or different girls in afternoon and then night.

Depending on when you are coming, Hyatt regency sukhumvit should be opening soon. It’ll be along soi 13. Closer to the action, and most probably girl friendly.

Scheduled to open in 3rd quarter 2018

Also there is 2 Super Rich companies - Super Rich Green and Super Rich Orange.

The branches exchange rate is usually slightly lower than the head office rate but not enough to worry about.

To have an idea of on the ground exchange rates use https://daytodaydata.net

 

Vasu on the corner of Soi 7/1 as mentioned is a convenient place and is open Monday to Saturday.

I did 11 nights at Marriott Sukhumvit 57 earlier in the year and should of done them at Four Points only for the night credits on my SPG account.

With another 13 nights at Four Points this year I would of re qualified as Gold again but am going to fall short.

And it's 11 nights missed off my lifetime total, what was I thinking at the time :blink:

 

I walked into Four Points at end of August and I swear they said Welcome mrfreeze.... yes I stay there often but....

Four Points is my go to Hotel each trip.

Comfortable beds, friendly staff, no issue with guests, deep bath and depending on room shower large enough for 2 or 3, quiet location but near enough to SC and Nana depending on your mood.

 

My only complaint would be every time I have the poached eggs on toast at breakfast they taste a bit like lemon... weird.

Google turned up https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaurants-g293916-c37-Bangkok.html

I have been to El Gaucho Argentinian Steakhouse and thought it was over priced and the steak poor quality.

 

I installed Openrice on my phone but don't really use it but have noticed there are reviews etc. so Thai's do use it.

44 days and counting. Then the party will start!!

I don’t count in days until the last week.

42 days to go sounds a long time compared to 6 weeks [emoji3]

23rd October has no history of bar closures it appears, though I should of figured it out myself exactly what you meant but I am easily confused at times  :)

 

I agree with you about being pissed if arriving around that time and finding everything shut for 5 days but as we know at this stage it is only a rumor.

I do think there will be no obvious parties / drinking / fun going on and if you are a party person will be disappointed being there at that time.

Lets wait to see how the BiB handle it.  I'm hoping for no issues for all those visitors coming in.

 

Where has it been mentioned 23rd is a Public Holiday?

 

25-29th is the Royal Funeral with 26th being the Public Holiday.

Chatter amongst the bar girls is they are expecting a 5 day closure but until it is announced no one knows for certain, other than 26th.

 

I saw yesterday one bar has announced no live music performances for the month of October as a sign of respect.

I have taken 2 girls back to the room for an overnight stay at Four Points before without any issue.

Other times I have gone back to the room during the day or evening with 2 girls at The Westin and Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit and had no issue either.

 

As mentioned above using the Soi 17 entrance at Four Points does not take you past the front desk but there are cameras in all the hallways so security would know.

We all get that can't wait to go back feeling after a trip to LOS. I am already planning the next trip after my upcomming trip. LOL.

I have a short December trip booked and also looking at a short February trip before my April 2 week trip.... should just get one trip out of the way before booking another 555

 

Gibsons1 I’m Not sure what the Dream hotel is priced at but have a look at Four Points or even ALoft, both good hotels and good locations.

Close, 4100 THB a night before tax and service fee's  :D

I seem to recall I have had a rate as low as 3800 or maybe slightly less in the past but that would be over a year ago I think.

 

Dec 8-11 (Fri / Sat / Sun) is what I booked and looking at the SPG site 4,400 (ex) is still showing ( I am signed into my SPG account) and it is listed as a SPG prefered rate.

Now clicking the link to see the hotel site and selecting offers then the stay 2 pay for 3 reserve link 4100 is shown.

 

As I mentioned earlier ALWAYS check the hotel site and the offers link as some good savings can be had.

 

I had a great rate at Marriott Thonglor in April of  2800 a night before tax and service charges and being Marriott Gold had lounge access.

 

Bargains are there if you keep an eye on the websites and are flexible with dates etc.

Depending what happens on my short December trip I might also try and make a trip 2nd weekend in February - 9th to 12th approx.

To add to the above, depending on dates and length of stay the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit can be cheaper than The Westin.

Also with the SPG properties always check the hotels website and click the offers tab where better rates can be found than doing a general search.

 

Looking at the OP first post 16,000 for 3 nights at Sofitel..... I have a 3 night stay at Sheraton Grande booked for early December and it's 14,477 THB inclusive all taxes and charges.

May I ask what happens in November?

 

I take it as what might be hot this month is not the next.

Main Christmas / New Year trip is now off, but high possibility of a being in Bangkok December 7-11.

 

Confirmed: Arrive early afternoon Dec 7 and depart late afternoon Dec 11.

I'm always found in the Soi 4 beer bars and always at the same table in one particular one.

Does it work well?  Most pharmacies carry it?

 

Cialis is what I tried at home and worked well for me when needed and Apcalis I have bought in Thailand which should be easy to find at the pharmacies.

Sometimes though I think it is not working as well as it did for me in the past, mainly in how hard I get.

 

If you have the cash you could try the other ED med's, just follow the directions and see what works best for you.

Have never stayed at Pullman but have the Sofitel and Sofitel is a great hotel.

Guest friendly in my experience and good location between Cowboy and Nana.

Charoen, actually. :rolleyes:

 

Well I had been up for 26 hours and had a blinder of a night.

I was surprised the room stopped spinning !!  :lol:

i'm sorry i see this is an old thread but i really need some pharmacy right now... NANA PR have you found a name? is there someone else who can recommend something else? please and thanks!

 

Chareon Pharmacy is the name.

Thanks for all your response.

 

Looks like Sofitel is the preferred location and as expected.  Hilton might be harder to get to Thermae/soi cowboy.  

 

Mrfreeze got it right,  i am a htn member and have many unused points. it would be cheaper if were to stay at Hilton.

 

Sofitel seems to have a small entrance and have many bellboys around.  Will they border you if i were to walk with a girl in ?   It seems to be a GF hotel.

 

I have stayed at Sofitel previously as I mentioned above and have taken different women back without issue.

Went back to the room after dinner with the then Thai Girlfriend and her friend, so 3 of us walked in and a couple of times with a ST from a BJ bar and once with a LT from the Soi 7 Beer Garden.

Never had an issue, I think with the better hotels they like to be discreet about things incase it was your wife / girlfriend etc. and don't want to cause the embarrassment.

I have never stayed at the Hilton but have the Sofitel.

Just on location Sofitel wins by a large margin.

 

Rooms are great and as you mentioned about Thermae, it's virtually next door to it.

 

If staying at the Hilton then BTS and walking or Taxi are your only options to get to and from it and the night life.

 

Another option is Four Points Soi 15 which will cost less than Sofitel but not have the same luxury feel.

The Westin or even Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit for a more luxury feel and slightly cheaper cost than Sofitel.

 

I gather you are a hotel rewards program member since a free stay at Hilton or Sofitel is your other prefered option.

It is ok but I would not pay 615 a day for it.
