Nope !!! As it is now "private property" and will need to show room keycard to go through. Last night, after a drinking night at Hillary 1, my TG was trying to sweet talk the guard to let us through but I guessed he valued his job too much as a polite NO was given to us. 

And from the Soi 2 side, it was even worse as the guard is inside the lock gate (tall and impossible to go through w/o being open by the guard). So there you have it, but actually the walk around is not that bad. I time myself from my condo (next to the DoubleTree) to NEP took me 6 minutes. So with the alley probably saves only a couple minutes, no big deal.

Thanks a lot

I think our usual nights might end up at 2-3 am.I remember Bangkok clubs closing at 2.30 am

 

Any clubs that are open after 2?

 

Also any other discos other than Soi 11 ones?

2am ? All clubs in Bangkok now open until at least 3:30am. For the last couple weeks, I've been at Sugar Club (soi 11) until 4am, Bobo until 4am, Penny Black until 3:30am, Space Disco on RCA until 4am and the Club at Khao San Rd. until almost 5am (and it's still going strong when I left). So yeah, many clubs and discos are open way past 2am.

This alley had been closed for the past couple years due to construction but it’s open now.  You can walk to the Doubletree from Soi 4 past this new Hotel Maison.

Thank you ! my condo is across from this alley, so great news indeed !!!!

yeah but that cut through made it so much easier.  Can always walk through the Marriott.

You can walk through the Marriott? I will stay at a condo right across from the Rajah Alley so this would be helpful.

Sorry for the late reply,

stayed here 2 weeks in March 

Thanks for the review.  How is it wifi ? I need good wifi for work and read some reviews of its slow or spotty wifi. Is this your experience too ?

Also it's important to ask the the host if they have facial recognition for entry to the building. 

I stayed at one that had this and it was the worst. I would come back all drunk and have to sit outside the door until someone came out.

Wow, this is truly the worst. Can't imagine not being able to freely going in and out of a place that you have to pay for ! My current Airbnb in Bangkok uses a fingerprint system, and mine was entered into their system so it was alright. But as it still needs an ID card to use the elevator, so it feels like an extra without true benefit yet.

Answer my own question : yes, it is very guest friendly, as not a question asked whatsoever when bringing a "guest" back.

And it has the best system for food & grocery delivery as they have a table right next to the lobby door reserved for delivery, so the items can be placed there for you to come to pick up at anytime. There is no need for the delivery guys to hang around to look or wait for you. Just brilliant !

Yes maybe they have changed the policy.  I am staying at Dream 1 now and last night they took the girl ID again.  This is a first thought as he called me from the front desk when she left to make sure it's ok to let her go. I don't mind either way, as the girls seem to be used to all this. The night before when the girl at front desk asked me to sign the waiver, she said it is for my protection.  But the waiver was for me to be responsible of any loss or damages caused by the unregistered guest. So is it for my protection or for theirs one has to wonder 🤔 

Hmm... I Stayed here 2 months ago for 10 nights and just checked in yesterday.  They asked me for the girls Id everytime. Tonight,  brought back a gogogirl from Nana, she did not bring her id with her so they make me signed a waiver. I guess YMMV. 

Yes girl friendly, they will ask for the girl's id. I like its location, walkable to both NEP and Soi Cowboy. Also, 3 minutes walk to Thermae, yup, I timed myself 555...

Yes, very gf. I just walk the girl straight to the elevator, nobody says a word. The reception counter is kind of out of the walkway, so it was an easy walk.

Sorry for bringing back an old topic, but I am looking to rent a condo here for a couple months in the new year and want to make sure that there will not be any issues bringing girls back to the condo. Anybody has any experiences ? Thanks.

Anyone got rid of warts and skin lesions etc

Not in Bkk., but last June I visited Dr. Warporn Klanwarin in Pattaya International Hospital and it was a good experience. Same day service and excellent results.

I will be in Bangkok from 11/29 - 12/2. Normally I go to Pattaya, but this time will stay in BKK. Looking for a wingman, I like hopping gogo bars and maybe a visit to the Pimp too. 

Sorry but I've changed my plan to be in Pattaya this period instead of Bangkok. So if you are in Pattaya this time, give me a shout.

11/29 - 12/2 - Bangkok Doubletree Sukhumvit. 

12/29 - 1/14 - Bangkok and Pattaya.  Not decide where and date yet.

I will be in Bangkok from 11/29 - 12/2. Normally I go to Pattaya, but this time will stay in BKK. Looking for a wingman, I like hopping gogo bars and maybe a visit to the PIMP too. 

I will be in Bangkok (my first time) arriving the afternoon of the 13th.  Would be happy to share a drink that evening if you are around.

Sure thing. Shoot me a text. Are you going to Pattaya too ?

I'll be in bkk late April to may 12 staying in soi 4 if anyone feels like a drink.

I will be in Bangkok for May 12 & 13th then to Pattaya for the next 2 weeks after. I am good a for drink or ten :-)

Bangkok : 22 Dec - 29 Dec

 

Pattaya: 29 Dec - 14 Jan

 

Bangkok 14 Jan - 17 Jan

 

Feel free to msg me if you want to meet up for a beer.

I am in Pattaya from 30/12 - 15/1 and Bangkok from 15/1 - 20/1. Our schedule almost match.

Thanks for the review. I am currently looking at this hotel too due to its location. It is between this hotel and the Adelphi Suites on soi 8 right now for me as they are almost the same price.

You're better off using your points to stay at the Hilton in Pattaya if you want to splurge. A great location adjacent to the Central Festival mall and one of the nicest hotels in the city. Then stay somewhere nearer to Nana in Bangkok...

Pattaya Hilton 50,000 points / night vs. Bangkok Doubletree 20,000 points / night. I am not sure if it is better use of points as you can book Hilton Pattaya at around $180 and for Bangkok Doubletree at around $95. 

For me, Hilton is way overprice for Pattaya, as you can book a few fabulous places in Pattaya for less than $100 a night.

I'm going to book at Doubletree for 5 nights, and it will only cost 80,000 points with the book 5 gets 1 free night. Bring the actual cost to only 16,000 points per night, not too shabby for a very good Bangkok hotel.

eva economy plus is the best

Agreed. Last trip, they upgraded me from premium plus to business class from Chicago to Taipei. That was sweet. Now I will save my miles to use it for upgrading from premium plus to business. Need 80,000 miles for that.

Stayed at Dynasty Grande last week. Location, service is excellent, and the room is good too. It only takes a few minutes to cool the room, not like the one I stayed in Pattaya (Areca Lodge), took like forever. Best rate booked directly with the hotel too.
