Wanderingsam

I have stay here a number of times, most recently last summer.  Renovations were complete and all was fine and it was still girl friendly.  Does anyone have recent experience to confirm it remains girl friendly?

Chicago666, the Nana hotel is a very low end, girl friendly hotel.  If that is where you wish to stay that is fine but a room rate that is around $100 per night is crazy.  You may want to read reviews of the property and the quality of the rooms.  I think you may find better value for money.

Thank you lev123!

I am looking for a hotel late in June thru early July and the prices seem much higher this year.  In the order of 40% higher.  Anyone know what is up?  I used to stay at the Grand President on Soi 11 but that has gotten a bit too seedy and attracts a tourist crowd that I am not so compatible with.  Also, while every suite has a washing machine after staying there for years I have yet to find one that actually works.  Last year I stayed at the Centre Point Soi 10 and was very happy with the hotel but this year the price is very high for the same period.  I have a reservation there but I am looking to see what else I can find.  What I am looking for is close to the action on Sukhumvit, girl friendly of course, very clean and washing machine in room.  I would like to keep it around $100US per night. 

For several years (2005-2011)I stopped in Bangkok almost every month while traveling on business.  Sometimes my Bangkok visit was for business and sometimes just for mongering.  I never had a problem and never had a visa of any kind.  My visits were usually for 3-7 days at a time.  I am not sure if things are different now but it was so easy I never questioned it.
