Word from O..Ho cafe is Ibis opening date is July 30.[/QUOTE] -- We shall see. I passed-by on friday's a'noon. to have a look-see - builders still v. busy with plenty of work to do; they'll have to work fast to meet the schedule. - On Suriwong rd. LE MERIDIEN HOTEL displayed a banner announcing that its soft opening would be in april 2008 - it's still not open. I passed-by this forenoon and a large part of the approach is torn-up still and is being relaid slowly. -- Bibi.. -- |

- The rates for a room are reported as being 1,200.Bh./pn., (whether that incl. the usual ++ was not stated.),. To me that seems excessive for what is billed as a 'No frills hotel.' and where the staff are expected to multi-task to help to reduce o'hds.. - Directly opposite is the MALAYSIA HTL. - catering to a possibly different public, I'll allow - wch. charges some 300.Bh/pn. LESS. - MORE expensive, too, that say TAKE A NAP and/or URBAN AGE HOTELS. at 1K.Bh./pn.. Also there's the PINNACLE HOTEL, although I'm unsure of its present prices. -- E&OE.. -- bibi.. -- |

I agree with the last post here but, none of them can beat the low cost, high value of Omyim Lodge.

-- Y'day. evening,(sat.), while supping in DICK'S CAFE., (business was poor - LESS than a score of us happy eaters; scarcely enough to keep their staff occupied.), I chatted with Mons. Lucas and took the opportunity to confirm the current rates in TARNTAWAN PLACE HOTEL., (Suriwong rd.), wch. is well-known to be g*y-friendly.
- I was told that rates per noctem vary between 2,300.oo.Bh. to 2.7K.Bh. depending upon choice of room - all taxes, b'fast. etc. incl.. - They've intro'd. a Special & Summer Offer of 7.0.K.Bh. for basically three nights incl. of taxes and of b'fasts., one free tea & cakes in DICK'S CAFE., one free drink in BALL'S BAR, one free & Th. massage, one free half-day city tour and so on - but check with the web-site below for complete info.! - further info.: tel.: (02)-238 2620. -- http://ww.tarntawan.com -- E&OE.. -- Usual disclaimer. -- DICK'S CAFE. has hand-outs for the XUAN MAI HOTEL in HO CHI MINH CITY, VIET NAM, (see Cruising for sex: Asia > Viet Nam. for further details.), so I presume that it's g*y friendly? -- Bibi.. -- |

I n the 90's Swiss Lodge was one of the early "gay friendly" hotels.Was always keen to try it and due to loyalty points with Agoda was able to for 3 days.
Location at Thanon Convent is very convenient and it is a lovely tree-lined, east-west restaurant populated street.The hotel has spacious rooms for boutique hotel,well managed,clean and comfortable.Probably will need a makeover within five years.Like Tarntawan it is not really for the price sensitive but I enjoyed my stay there. I don't take back company overnight so don't know their attitude,but I did take a Thai friend up to show him the room and they were hardly interested.The other guests seemed to be middle of the road people and it may be a little staid for some. Best reasons to stay are the location,surrounding ambience to hotel,rooftop pool and a good breakfast restaurant. |
