Anywhere really, but Silom or Sukhimvit?

Silom is limited pretty much to the usual haunts: Suriwong Hotel, BBB Inn, and Nagara.

BBB Inn is probably best of the bunch.

Lower Sukhumvit has the PB Hotel and the Penthouse, both on the short soi that connects Sukhumvit Soi 3 and Soi 11.

Both are OK, about same standard.

dont worry=your new friends will know more.
Its NIAgara-down soi 9, signposted at bak-soi- worn and quiet. For real moneyboys far too far to walk there.

You might want to try a sauna (they all have cabana rooms). There's a new sauna, Style Sauna, down the small soi 2/1 on the other side of Silom Rd. from Silom Complex. Go down the soi, and you'll see Richard's Restaruant at end in front. Turn left, go to end, and Style Sauna is on right (corner). I went there several times on my trip several weeks ago. Entry was 150 baht--but they gave me a coupon for free entry. New concrete structure--nice--cabana rooms on 2 different floors, shower area, sauna, steam room on another floor. Open 3 to 3. The only thing that bothered me was I'm not sure if the towels will correctly cover the windows on the doors (I was able to spy a little on some people). But I don't think I had any problem covering the window myself when I went in with someone. It might be the way the hook is compared with the dimensions of the windows.

There is another sauna, Sauna Mania, off Soi Convent (also near Silom Rd.). They're open until 6 a.m. on weekends.

-- But note that for fridays & saturdays - according to a sign posted on the front window - they're OPEN 15.hrs. 'till. late!
- Sanookie dee, mak mak!

Niagara's location is marked on this map:
Directions to Chong Nonsi locality « Shamelessmack in Thailand and around

I've never used it but I recall a report by someone who claimed he had, which spoke of roaches. It is, as Pong said, a bit too far to walk from the Silom Soi 2 or Soi Twilight areas.

-- Today, (24th.), forenoon I passed-by STYLE BKK. and noted a new sign posted atop its illuminated & mobile sign, black writing on a dk. gn. bkgd., shewing its new hours of OPENING -
1.- Mon.-thu.: 12.-01.oo.hrs. &
2.- Fri-sun.: 12.-late.

I was at Niagara a couple of weeks ago and they wanted Bht800, poorly negotiated down to Bht700. So will not be going back again. The boys said Suriwong Hotel was Bht400?

-- 'It all depends ... .' as the late Prof. CEM. Joad was fond of saying.
- The olde & unremodelled rooms are available for between 300.-350.Bh. for 3hrs.; while the recently remodelled rooms are avail. for 500.Bh./3hrs..
-- E&OE. as I've not availed recently, some info. based upon hearsay.
-- Be advised that some boyz prefer not to go-back to the a/m. hotel, so possibly use will have to be made of another htl. such as BBB. INN - about wch. I have no info at all.

I stopped using BBB Inn long time ago. rooms are nice enough (but mostly no windows).

Reasons:

- Arrogance of front desk staff (often speaking down to the working boys).
- Had a couple of instances where the female staff at the premises, sitting very close to the check-in counter, started saying / repeating "har parn", "har parn" (meaning 5 thousand tip).
- Had several instances of being shown to the room by the bell-boy who very quickly, and without asking, opened the bar fridge, very quickly pulled out two bottles of beer and very quickly opened them, all done in a flash. Added to the bill of course.

I'm not a cheap charlie and on many occasions I have asked my 'companion' if he would like a beer or whatever, but I object to the BBB inn tactics.

Short time hotels are also known as numbered hotels - 69 hotel or 444hotel. thers is one on Sukhumvit soi 40 ( 40 winks ? or some such name)

Quote |

There is one called hotel 27 down a small soi off soi 20/22 Sukhamvit. There is a big hotel at the top of the soi. they do both short and long stay at about 350 bhat a night. pretty basic but it does have shower tv full fridge a giant king sized bed and giant mirrors along the headboard and down the side of the bed. and no one bats an eyelid to the groans and shouting from both girls and guys who uses it, total sleaze but worth every bhat.

The 40 Winks was torn down several years ago. There's a condo there now.
