a447a Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "there was the lift only went to a certain floor ( the 3rd according to your good selves and I'll take your word for that" Nirish, have you been drinking again??? The lift goes to the top floor - the fourth floor. That's first, second, third, FOURTH! lol Quote
Guest scottishguy Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 In Glasgow - such hand-luggage is affectionately known as a "Poof Bag" Quote
Guest abang1961 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Oops I recommend the wrong bag! I did not realise what is "standard practice" here is considered "loud" in your place. Apologies. Quote
Guest scottishguy Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 There's nothing wrong with being seen going around with a small bag - which is just as well for me or I'd have no friends Quote
NIrishGuy Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Thats no way to talk about your wife Scotty !! I'm sure she's a lovely woman and not a small bag at all ! :-) Quote
Guest Jovianmoon Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 So now there are more positive reviews of The Rose in this thread. I'm definitely glad I booked it now. Thanks chaps Quote
chaotou Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I have stayed on the top floor of The Rose before and the lift does indeed stop one floor short of the the top requiring you to climb the stairs to the last floor. Quote
a447a Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks for that, Chaotou. Nirishguy, I owe you a humble, grovelling apology for suggesting you had been drinking too much. BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ONE! lol Quote
NIrishGuy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Oh Chaotou thank you thank you thank you !! :-) I KNEW there was the special floor of course but when seeing that there was no talking to my detractors who were so quick to judge and the doubters who were so quick to slur the reputation of such a good and wholesome person as myself, writing me off as a some raging alcoholic I simply chose to take the higher ground and not lower myself to their doubting, insulting, ill mannered low class levels ! I just put their behaviour down to the fact that"obviously" some people just aren't classy enough to be put in the secret VIP area that you and I obviously were allocated to on arrival and THEIR rooms were probably on the lower ( 3rd or 4th class) levels of the hotel as befitting their status in life, hence they end up with such mean spirited chips on their shoulders I guess and even when they are proved wrong by yet another high class guy such as yourself backing up my facts they STILL it seems don't even have the basic human class or decency to post a simple clean apology, accompanied accordingly by large bundles of 50 pound notes in the post to soften the blow as a peace offering it seems. Oh well what can we do, I guess sometimes we have to just tolerate these sorts of people in life sometimes ...... sigh ;-( lol by the way just in case anyone thinks I'm being serious above I AM joking !!!!! ( well HALF joking perhaps as until I get my 50 quid I'll reserve judgment!) - however A447a the GOOD news is you can redeem yourself in beer, spirits and boys as and when I will no doubt see you somewhere in Bkk or Pattaya over Songkran and you Sir are buying !! - and if you're lucky i MIGHT even take you to the Rose and show you the secret VIP floor that you need the special code to get in to where all the "special boys are " and the area where mere mortals such as yourself would NEVER be allowed unless accompanied by VIP's such as myself or Chaatou it seems ! :-)) lol Scotty, I will expect your grovelling apology along ANY minute now as being a man of breeding and unlike some I'm sure you DO know how to apologise like a man and without equivocation or reservation ( I'll send you the address for the 50 quid also ! :-) Quote

Guest scottishguy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 What am I apologising for? First you confuse your bobbies with your boobies, and now you confuse me with a447. How hurtful! Quote
NIrishGuy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 ha ha SHIT ! it appears you're right ! :-) I had mentally noted that you'd commented in this blog too but it appears your comment was merely about your wee bag :-) It may it appears have been a certain Mr Fountainhall who also suggested that perhaps it was that I may have spent to much time imbibing at certain BKK bars it seems lll So, for my mistake I apologise ! See, A447a now THAT'S hows it's done, simple, clean and quick, with no ambiguity and with a heartfelt remorse which is all that's required, it's really NOT all that difficult for SOME it seems ! lol Quote
Guest scottishguy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Poor Founty is getting it as well now! LOL it was a447!! .....Nirish, have you been drinking again??? Quote
NIrishGuy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I was there with friends two nights ago. It is one of the finest small Thai restaurants in town. There's been a small thread on it - http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/7632-random-observations-of-a-tourist/?hl=%2Bruen+%2Burai&do=findComment&comment=54636 I also can't remember the Rose ever having more than 4 or 5 floors. Maybe NIrish had spent too much time at the Irish pubs on Silom or Convent! Oh come on now, what you don't think I actually checked before posting that this time, I may be daft but I'm not stupid ! So it appears I'm right after all and apologies are perfectly in order after all :-) Don't worry I shall receive them ALL graciously ! :-) Quote
a447a Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 "First you confuse your bobbies with your boobies, and now you confuse me with a447. How hurtful!" What's the matter, SG? Can't you take a compliment?? And NIrish, about that drink. OF COURSE I will buy you any drink you desire. And I'll even shout you to a meal. Do you like French food? Oh, no! I just remembered. I won't be in LOS over Songkran. I'll be in France. Guess them's the breaks. Quote
NIrishGuy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Well I guess we could compromise, I'll just go to that La Bordeaux french restaurant then in Pattaya when I'm there and take some boy wonder for the evening in your place - and you can ring and settle the ( what will I warn you be a ridiculously expensive) bill when we've finished with your Visa card, oh and if you could put the boys tip on there too that would be much appreciated as I intend to totally kick the ass out of it to make you suffer for your previous libellous remarks, hell a more shallow insecure person would have been on with their lawyers already by now, you should think yourself lucky that I'm so forgiving ! :-) See, don't worry, we can always find a way :-) Quote
a447a Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 La Bordeaux? No, no, I know a wonderful French place in Bangkok. "hell a more shallow insecure person would have been on their lawyers already by now," Ouch! LOL Quote
Guest thrillbill Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I stay at the Rose many times. I like it because the rooms are all remodeled and there is a nice garden pool to relax around. Another hotel in its price range is the Glow which is also a remodeled hotel with a huge olympic pool and great fitness room connected to the apartment complex across the soi. Bally suites is over prices and plain - no pool. when I want to go very basic, I stay at Silom Regent (behind Bug and Bee restaurant) because of its great location..a few steps down from GOD; then there is the Nantra that has great prices for its rooms but further "up" on Silom - basic rooms but new.

Guest Jovianmoon Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Bally suites is over prices and plain - no pool. Very true. Unfortunately it took me three separate stays at Bally's to come to that same realisation that it's over-priced and plain. Quote
