While I've stayed here several times and can highly recommend it for being super convenient and girl friendly, I'm not sure that it would qualify for 4 or 5 stars - mostly due to the lack of services provided at that tier. Overall though the room is great and spacious and the staff never bothered me.

I just checked the price for my favorite - Adelphi Suites. Its more than Arcadia, but I can attest the location is great and I usually get the 1 room suite which has everything you'd ever need for a long term stay (kitchen, washer/dryer). Also I will admit I've stayed there 3 times so far so I'm biased. It does not have a balcony that I've seen, sorry. But in all other ways it's pretty stellar and roomy. And I've never had a problem with any action.

This is a question that usually depends on the travel time and the arrival time, if you follow the logic. For me, traveling from the states takes 24 hours of travel time where it's difficult to get restful sleep, so usually by the time I arrive I'm tired but excited. I remember distinctly arriving the first time ever in BKK and going to Soi Cowboy straight away and getting drinks and a girl back to my room. While she was getting ready in the bathroom I passed out. That was embarrassing. Luckily she was cool about it ... at least I like to think so as nothing was stolen. 🙂 I have since learned my lesson and since my flights usually arrive around 10pm usually I still go barhopping right away but be extremely mindful of my state of sleepiness and inebriation -- try to get some sleep before I arrive on the plane. Don't want to waste any nights!

I was overly protective on my first trip to the LOS and purchased OTC antibiotics and basically was prepared to self medicate. Wasn't necessary. Nowadays I just play safe and get tested when I return and trust that I can get a doctor to take care of my woes, if any exist. In short, don't be foolish.

I'm going to give a big thumbs up to Adelphi Suites. Stayed there twice so far. Have brought two ladies in with no issues - smiles and waves. Close to everything. Housekeeping was immaculate -- they take a long time and do a great job. In-room Wifi (which is important to me). Decent morning buffett I grant you I might have just gotten lucky, but it's not like I was hiding anything either.
