Girl Friendly Hotels

Goondoo1234 · #1 19-09-2006, 04:56 PM

Hi all, I am taking a packaged flight/hotel trip to Bangkok and the choices of hotel are as follow:

1) Classic Place Hotel @ Petchburi
2) First Hotel @ Pratunam
3) The Twin Towers @ MBK Hall
4) Asia Hotel @ MBK Hall

I heard from my friends that Asia Hotel is the best among the choices becoz it is near the redlight district and is girl friendly.

However, I made my booking very late so I may not be able to get Asia Hotel. Therefore, I will be left with choice 1, 2 & 3 so I need advice on which hotel is girl friendly and accessible.

It will be great if you can also tell me what are the redlight district near them.

FYI, this will be 1st my trip to Thailand and also my 1st post in the forum. I hv done some searches for these hotels but only managed to find some -ve info abt Twin Towers. Thanx 4 the help.

The hotels do allow you to bring your guest/s to your room. They just want some tips from you. Enjoy and don't worry about this too much.
cheers

Ibis Siam Bangkok: Definitely "girl unfriendly" - you will be asked to pay extra for guest even if you have booked for two.

You have to walk past the check-in desk to get to the lift. Foyer staff even stopped the lady (from the laundry down the road) from delivering my laundry to my room in the afternoon. Very embrassing!

Best to avoid.

Hi,

Asia hotel location is good & near Mrt station.

But please avoid Asia Hotel, it a bit "dirty".

Was there last year & both me & my wife dont really feel good abt the room.

And our friend, another couple, complain that they keep heard running tap water from toilet at night ( tap not turn on when they check).

If u have to stay there, AVOID room 933.

Just my view, dont want Bro here to be disturb at night after a day of cheonging or shopping.

(if u dont believe, pls ignore, dont zap me...please..enjoy BKK)

Thanks

The offer you the hotels at same rates? If i choose i will choose the Twin Towers.....classic place is not in the same class & first hotel looks dingy. Asia like the bro mention better dun stay unless you got many amulets protecting you....the place is famous for the supernatural. All of them are not girl friendly.....as to near to redlight, all are considered to be in town so not hard to get around.....

Bros,

Guest Friendly means that you can change your guest everyday without charge. You must book a Twin/Double, as a Single room if for one person only.

If you do check in with your gf and she stays the entire time. Then you will not need a guest friendly hotel. Although some hotels do require her name at reservation.

All the hotels in the above thread in the package are not guest friendly and thats why they chose these hotels. Packages usually for families/couples.

Manhattan Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 15 is NOT guest friendly

Just to let you know from personal experience that it is not guest friendly.

I stayed there last week for a few days and booked a superior room for 2 persons - yes 2 persons.

I noticed that the security guys make it a point to man the position at the front of the lift (especially at night) and guard it as if they were protecting the jewels of the kingdom of Siam. Two of them looked like gangsters and were quite scary looking.

When I took my Thai girl-friend of many years back to my room late one night (she had to work late), one of the goons was stupid enough to accost us after we're in the lift and asked aloud for my room number in English. This was rather embarrassing for both of us as there were other hotel guests in the lift as well. Guess what they were thinking?

They seem to pick on any man that walks in with a Thai looking lady. It is sad the way they treat their own people as some of the Thai ladies have to work to support themselves - usually because they and their children have been abandoned by their irresponsible husbands/boyfriends. Seems to be ok - to these idiots at least - if I were to walk in with a blonde hooker!!

Cheers - paul
