Need some quick guidance

[Irishfella]

Hello Men. I am currently in Phuket. I return to the UK next Friday and I have decided to spend a few days in Bangkok. I have not researched Bangkok at all as it was never my intention to go.

 

I would like some advise on a good hotel near to where the action is. I had been reading on another form about that the Nana Plaza was not to good anymore. The Nana hotel has said they have no vacancies anyway. Ive just read about Soi Cowboy so maybe a hotel near here would be handy

 

Thankyou in advance for your replys!!

lots here - Bangkok Hotels

 

To recommend one near the action - would be Majestic Suites- I booked mine last Friday. right around corner from Nana Plaza - good rooms, guest friendly for about 1650 baht per night

I reckon it's better for hotels in the Nana area, Dynasty Inn, across the road from the Nana , Raja, behind the Nana many others within easy walking distance in Soi 4 and side Sois

 

You could also try one of the hotels across the road in SukumwitSoi 7/1

Try the Stable Lodge on Soi 8 (www.stablelodge.com). It is down Soi 8 about 150-200 yards/meters off Sukhimvit. About 1100 to 1400 a night. Rooms basic (air, large bed, shower, balcony), girl friendly. Most Dutch and Scandanavians as customers there. Restaurant has good northern European food and decent Thai food. As you walk down Soi 8 to Sukhimvit, about 50 meters before you get to Sukhimvit, you will find Lolitas down a side soi for that quick afternoon or evening pick-me-up. When you get to Sukhimvit, turn left, 5 minutes to Nana. Right there at Soi 8 is the lift to the sky train (Nana Station). If you want to go to Soi Cowboy, either, cross Sukhimvit, turn right, and walk about 10 minutes. Or, if you lazy, take sky train from Nana to Asoke station for 15 baht, take the escalator to the underground to walk under Asoke and when you exit on the other side, 25 meters to the right you are at Soi Cowboy. Lots of other small friendly bars along the way as well as well as proximity to restaurants and stands and BTS.

 

As for the Stable Lodge, I have stayed there occasionally. They will usually take your reservation over the phone if you call them WITHOUT a credit card, etc., Just tell them when you are coming in.

 

Whoops, didn't read your post completely, I guess this won't help you since you have already returned to UK, but maybe next time or someone else.

My friend who stays at the Honey hotel also gives me positive feedback on it's location and value.

 

If your primary focus is bars and bargirls, most guys I know are avoiding Bangkok in favor of Pattaya.
