A New Bangkok Question
#1
Posted 04 March 2010 - 10:41 PM
I've had some action in the Philippines before now, and I've travelled a bit in China and Japan, but for some reason, I've never yet made it to the Land of Smiles.
I'm in the position where I can afford to bum around (no pun intended) Asia for a couple of months until my next work contract starts, providing I keep to a fairly modest budget.
My brother travelled around Thailand, and he told me you can find OK places to stay for about 500 baht. However, he doesn't know about my ladyboy intentions, and I think that the places he stayed in Bangkok were a little way outside the centre.
A lot of the places I've seen recommended here are in the 1500 - 2000+ baht a night range, which is a little expensive. Therefore, I would like a recommendation for a hotel in Bangkok up to about 1000 a night. I am not that fussy - all I need is a clean, secure, preferably air-conditioned, en-suite room, near to the Nana action, which is, of course, ladyboy friendly. No extras needed!
I saw that a few of you guys recommended the Ibis, but is there anything else?
Also, I'd love to meet up with some friendly, cool guys who know the scene, for some beers and fun!
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I've often stayed at the Top Inn and Everrich, which both offer decent rooms at 1200.

Regarding the recommendations list - I woudnt stay at at the Star Inn, just down the road, unless you are opting for their better rooms.
The Bangkok Inn advertises cheap rooms under 1000, and is in the heart of the late night action but I've never took the time to go in and investigate, I'm guessing it's pretty scarey in there - you really can't expect much for 1000 bht.

Another two places which are a good example of what you get for 1000 bht are The Prommenade (soi and The Ruamchit Plaza (Soi 13), both monger hotels in the heart of the action, both cheap, and both dumps..

As I said before, I'd really like to meet some guys in Bangkok or elsewhere (I plan to travel around) for beers, chats and mongering, so please drop me a line if you're interested!

They seem to do a double, air-conditioned room for 630 a night, which is very cheap!

And other thing, Khao San Road is practically in the middle of nowhere so you have to use Taxi to go anywhere… and if you are lucky and come there in the evening just a short drive from crossing to the beginning of the road will take you like... ages. I was there with X and had no problem but I wouldn’t be extremely happy to take there my recent conquest from Nana.

Kliome, would the Top Inn be the one on Khao San Road?

No, the Top Inn I mean is on sukhumvit, next to the Majestic/Soi 4.

It's around 1200, but good value for money and perfect location. I would avoid staying close to Koh San Road if you're interested in mongering.
Another option is Nap Inn. I've been recommended this place before and they do have rooms from 800-1000. Ideal location. It's been full every time I've been to take a look. I'd be interested to hear anyone elses opinion/experience of this place.

You can also get studios for just 7,000 a month around thonglor - ekamai.
But if you're willing to pay 1,000 a night for extra comfort and location then I'd go with one of the names already mentioned in this thread.
I can give you more details if you're interested.
Been working here LONG enough.

Concerning the fact Nap Inn is next door to White Orchid Inn I would be suspicious and at least take a look before booking. I spent few days last April in White Orchid Inn and let me just say… room is at least basic if not even characterized as hell-hole used only for short ST . So if Nap Inn caught at least some Wild Orchid Inn “style”, I would avoid it.
