no problems at Pullman G or Crown Plaza either ( not sure those are 5 stars )

I remember that hotel fire, they thought it was faulty circuit ( sorry for repeating bkk's joke but I first responded and then read rest of thread )

too bad it was not me but what a great idea. Need to try it next time I'm in Thailand in Jan 2027

I stay there in Nov 2022. Room was quite big but sparsely furnished which seems to be modern fashion in hotel design . But at least there was a lot of room air. Being right across the mouth of Patpong 1 location cant be beaten. No problems with visitors and as it happened my all three there were very visible due to their looks and built. Only negative was lack of safety box in the room , they have row of those close to reception. For me it was non issue as it was end of trip and all visitors were/ still are/ trusted guys. if you ask me, go for it compare with other two you mentioned. Check prices on Agoda for your dates as it is known to science they may offer the same for a bit less

Arthur and Paul is in Phnom Penh, there's no mention of original poster visiting Phnom Penh this trip, nor staying in Rambutan which is indeed next door to Arthur

indeed my impression as well and definitely a case of hotel I usually stay in, more like 25%. Still I don't blame them as last week they were full to a point that even if I had paid up reservation they transferred me to a condo unit across the soi at o cost for me.

not as much but somewhat close I'd say

Fifthly, it would deprave people pleasure of combing through the threads to look for find information they need and find a lot of information they did not even suspect they may need.

On my recently finished trip I decided to walk memory lane and try newly opened Squrrel House for one night just to see how it is. Memory lane simply because it occupies former premises of BBBInn which used to be my favorite hotel for great many trips. Indeed climbing stairs to my room triggered a lot of memories. While stairs are still the same interior is completely redone and there's something about staying in brand new, fresh smelling place. It's one of those minimalistic designs , similar to Quarter Silom, Ibis Styles, 56 Suriwong and Red Planet. Forget about closet but they provide few hangers. My room was one of cheapest and smallest and while comfortable I missed three things: elevator - while I don't have problem climbing stairs (this trip climbed 1260 of them to Tiger Cave temple in Krabi) those with mobility problem or heavy luggage may find it bit hard. safety deposit box in the room and window in the room was locked. I could use sleep with open window in Januray in Bangkok. Other than that, everything worked perfectly and I don't mind staying there in the future as long as price will be competitive which may be an issue - I paid a bit more than for Baan Silom room which possessed all three items I listed above. Night I stay there I felt bit under water, not as bad as not to visit bar but bad enough to refrain from taking boy from there but I doubt I would be any issue with visitors as there was only bell on reception when I passing by in the evening and in the morning . Certainly great location, just around the corner from Raya beautiful view from the window but at least there was window

yes, it's practically clone of Jey Spa and they share quite of few boys

For those who may balk at 6000 or 11000 quotes in the posts above reminder that Ayuthaya can be visited cheaply , also independently. Train from Bang Sue may be no more than 100 baht if that much and in front o train station in Ayuthaya there are songtaews which can be hired for 600-1000 depending of you negotiating skills for tour of the ruins and return trip to train or van station. Of course much less comfort and one must pay for admissions and meals but savings may be substantial.

+1

he has name

If it's any consolation your experience ay Man's at Siem Reap matches mine, assigned masseur, great massage but no hanky-panky., Great report and what really counts is summarized in your last line.

+1, indeed there's really life outside internet

Of course not surprising. No wife and no mother in law to keep watchful eye on them.

Then it's easy to avoid to patronize them

This is what happens when one loves his job

Just was in Phu Quoc island last week

No, 31 days like every January, lol

Last night forum gang of four assembled at Banana club outside to have a drink, quickly joined by one of bakers and one of waiters. We were told that boys start presenting themselves at the stage at 9pm and show starts at 9. 45 so at suitable time we moved inside. Show is flashy and energetic, mix of lip syncing and more etotic number, even big cock show. Enough to keep spectators interested.it was more or less full with constant stream of customers flowing in. Bakers there are doing good job and fact that they themselves are presentable certainly helps. Arround 10.40 we moved to Moonlight where show was about to start. Half full at best, we got choice front seats. Not sure what contributes to that emptiness as I find show quite OK, selection of music even better and boys as handsome as always. It's visible decline of popularity mistfies me as for me it's, all in, best bar in Bangkok. Statement supported by the dead as this trip I'm i process of finishing up, no bar I visited more often. Not sure about my companions but having flight out at 7am I quickly decided on having repeat with Min so when I saw him on the stage I motioned him to dress and come over. Even mamasan was impressed how fast I bypassed him as I had dressed and ready guy beside me in few minutes if entry. Hope my forum friends did not leave empty handed as I did not stay long and soon was taken home by my guy on quite flashy motorsai. Sitting in Narita half day later I already miss hustle and bustle od Silom scene but consoling myself that my next trip in Jan 2027 will come soon enough.

you wil like at Amara,, specially rooftop infinity pool. Rooms are on smallish side but we'll appointed. Short walk to Patpong whoring zone.

Sorry for being late. Immigration at Don Muang was packed when I arrive from Phu Quoc. Next time you call me" distinguished VIP" you will be in trouble, lol Not related, today on Sunday I noticed thet popular XONE money exchange on Suriwong is open on Sundays and rates are still the best.

Unorthodox economy sometimes works

Opinions about going at Songkran time varies but I guess it's best to use my own, often dispensed advice, and just go and try myself. Economically for me it's not a good option but for fun one needs to forget about income from time to time I guess.
