If you don’t like Bangkok what are you doing on these boards 😄

Kiwi bar on Soi 8 has lots of tv screens

Yeah a few mins walk to NP and you pass a couple of nice bars on the way. Previously I’ve just got a tuk tuk back from SC yes can be a rip off 150B or whatever but no girl has complained thus far.

The rooms are fine with Taipan just make sure you get one with a double bed as some of the cheaper ones only have single beds. £50-£60 a night should be fine. Beds are quite hard from memory whereas Citrus Suites has the softest beds I’ve seen in BKK and the fastest WiFi but will be £70 a night a nice sized room. If you can stretch to £100 a night I’d recommend the Landmark. Most hotels will have laundry services I would have thought?

Taipan Hotel is near SC & within your budget. There’s also Sukhumvit Suites. For Nana your best bet may be Majestic Suites but that is literally right next to Nana so can get noisy. You can try Citrus Suites on Soi 6 which is 4* and probably the best of those I’ve mentioned. The cheaper rooms should be in your budget. I’ve stayed at all of these and they’re all guest friendly & within walking distance of SC or NP.

What’s your budget for hotels? They’ll be plenty we can recommend!

When I went I seem to recall it was 300B+ a pint although some beers were like 7/8%+

Depends what you want but pretty much every pharmacy has options for you

Stayed here myself in October and like you say it was cheap & cheerful and good location. WiFi was rubbish though but could have been a one off issue. Could stay again but probably wouldn’t.

Yes I’ve stayed in Citrus Suites Soi 6 a few times & like it. Good location for Nana and reasonably priced. Biggest room they do is the “Grand Suite” which is huge and only around £80 (c.3200B) a night.

If they reply with “no” then they may as well not open!

Ha landed at DM last night and think I set a new record - from exiting the plane at 10pm to pulling up outside my hotel (Landmark) in 45 minutes! Couldnt believe it - immigration was dead my luggage arrived within 2 minutes of me waiting and the traffic was clear!

Although given QPP would have closed by then is there any point still staying round that way?

To DM it has to be a taxi as there’s no train allow up to an hour but should be less

Are there any hotels around Nana & SC that AREN’T girl friendly?! Would also be useful to know your budget

Vasu is closed on Sundays but most of the others are open as far as I know

The Grand Hyatt will fit your requirement but I think it’s quite expensive these days. Great location proper 5 star hotel and the ‘smallest’ rooms are comfortably bigger than the smallest rooms in the Landmark

7 Heaven BJ bar is close by perhaps you mean that one is def worth a visit if you are on its doorstep!

For that budget I think Majestic Suites if you want to stay near Nana or Sukhumvit Suites or Tai Pan Hotel if you want to stay near Soi Cowboy

Ah I see thanks. Yes I’ve topped us several times in the last 6 months but have never been asked until now. At least it sounds like a one off.

This is new right? Have never been asked to show my passport or any ID before but this time they said I couldn’t top up my rabbit card without showing my passport. Of course I didn’t have it on me as I don’t like carrying it around so I had to go back to the hotel to get then go back to the BTS station to top up my card then go back to the hotel again to drop off the passport (as I don’t like carrying it around) and finally head back to the BTS again! Such a great use of my time....!

iPhone 6. I used to always be able to upload photos to my posts when posting from my phone but now when I try I get an error message “The server returned an error during upload”. I’m following the same procedure as normal but keep getting this message. Anyone have the same problem or can advise what to do?

As mentioned before I have stayed at the Hyatt Regency but not the Sofitel and will be back at the Hyatt on Sunday for 4 nights. I liked it and the main plus points were: - Large room size considering it was the ‘cheapest’ room (37/38sqm) - Completely girl friendly & no need for girl to hand in ID at reception (just walk in & go straight to room) - Nice rooftop bar with great views of BKK (when it isn’t pissing down!) - Easy access to BTS as Exit 3 at Nana has been extended so you’ve got a walkway straight to the hotel - Massive 55” tv in the room and no issues with WiFi I didn’t have the breakfast but I’ve heard it is good!

Stayed here last week when in BKK on business and will stay there again when I’m back next month. Really liked the hotel better than the Landmark which is similarly priced. I got a good rate of £100 per night although it’s increased to £120 a night for my next trip. Stayed in the ‘cheapest’ room but it was more than spacious enough (37/38sqm I think) and the tv was massive! Comfy bed & separate shower and bath tub. The rooftop bar is also really nice great view of BKK. Took 3 different girls up there on 3 consecutive nights so I am sure the staff noticed :D Pool & jacuzzi were fine and there’s also a steam room. Didn’t have the breakfast. Good location and you can walk to the hotel via the extended skybridge at Nana (exit 3 I think) which leads you to the hotel entrance via an escalator which is useful if you have luggage.

Also Tai Pan Hotel on Soi 23 which is less than 5 min walk from Asok / SC it’s a 3.5 star hotel which should be in your budget
