Never stayed there, but I stay at the Golden Tulip frequently & it's nearby. It's a long walk to Suk, & twice as long to BTS. The saving grace if there is any, is that it's not far to 22.

That's easy - everyplace but Nana, Cowboy, & Patpong. To see the sites for a couple days - stay down by the River. I fail to see the attraction of Pattaya, except for mongers. There are a million better locations in Thailand. If you must - Jomtien or Naklua

" The restaurant in foodland on soi 5 is actually really good and relatively inexpensive for sukhumvit. always busy though." - Must be why the name of the is Took Lae Dee or cheap & good. I prefer the Soi 16 Foodland.

Take the train up to Thonglor and stroll down Soi 38 for street food. Great American Rib Co. on 36 has the best smoked ribs in Asia - I'd be happy with them in KC or Memphis. Get a full rack and split it - it's a lot cheaper than 2 half racks. Hemingway's on 14 behind the SGS is excellent. For Thai Food, I like P kitchen on Soi 18 & the Beer Garden (sorry no FLs) on 19. If I want to spend some $$, it's Giusto's on 23. IMO, the best Italian in BKK

Love the duck at MK. All the food courts are a deal too. Street food w/AC. I like the chicken at Piri Piri at T21 & Emporium. Sunshine Tacos (Emporium & Soi 12) has a great 1/2 lb burger for around 200B. Their Mex is so-so.

Well everything else is covered. Let's talk sleeze. Try the soi bars on Suk & Soi 11. There will be plenty of FLs on Suk close to your hotel too. Climax & Penny Black are open late - late too. Check the threads over on PA. Usually if I get in as late as you, I try to stay awake on the flights, arrive fucking exhausted, crash for 10-12 hrs, & wake up on BKK time. UP2U, depends on your horniness factor.

I'd have tipped her 2-300 anyway. So it's a push. Seems like she borrowed from the Philippine playbook. They pull this shit all the time MNL to AC & they double the price.

AirBnb & Travelmob.

Kingston Suites is better than pretty much everywhere at 1500B. If the pool is important go w/the RP though the one at KS is tiny.

I found this on Flyertalk and I'm going to give 'em a shot in early May. Just works for mobile devices and from what I've seen their last minute prices are excellent. Can't book until 5 days previous. That's my referral code below. Feel free to substitute your own and keep this thread going. All these codes can be stacked together, so if you need a quick one nighter, like at BKK, maybe you can get a freebie outta this: Hotel Quickly - It is a last minute hotel app focusing on Asia markets. They are offering $31-$56 free hotel credits and their hotels are Singapore Hong Kong Thailand Indonesia Malaysia Australia New Zealand Vietnam Macau Taiwan Philippines Cambodia How it works: Hotels have unsold room everyday and they are willing to offer deep discount to fill them up.

Then enter USANDUS for another $26 Credit (only valid for USA Hotels. They don’t have any hotels in the US yet so it might be useful for future)

I thought the place was all right, but I only paid around 2000B. CPT21 is more like 3500-4000. Look at Fraser Suites, Adelphi Suites, the Column, S-31, Shama Suites etc. for good deals in the 4 & 1/2 star range.

Started out as Ramada Encore. They changed the name and upped the price. It's pretty new, so one could to worse I suppose.

One can do A LOT BETTER. The Ambassador went off my radar about 10 years ago. They're are virtually no hotels that charge a joiner's fee for 1 girl anymore. I've probably stayed in 50 joints in BKK from ***s to *****s & I've yet to be asked to pay a fee.

You're talking the hotel I mentioned earlier (SGS) Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit I suppose. BarSu is on the ground floor, elevators by-pass the lobby, direct connection to BTS, and it's got the best pool in BKK IMO. Only downsides are that they've got a rennovation going on and you have to pay for Wifi (unless you're Gold or Plat).

Without paying 20,000B/nite for some kinda palatial suite. I suggest you check airbnb & Trip Advisor. I got a plush 2bd apt on Soi 12 a couple years ago on TA for around 3K. It had a huge deck with a garden and a jacuzzi and was up on the 39th floor. Town Lodge on 18 has some jacuzzi rooms on the cheap and it was just renno-ed.
