An excellent report. Thailand (usually Bangkok), Brazil (Sao Paulo and Rio) and Spain (Barcelona) are my usual holiday destinations of choice so we have similar tastes. Just a few thoughts. I agree that nothing can beat the Brazilian saunas for action. I vividly recall my first experiences of Lagoa in São Paulo. The negatives are safety particularly Rio where I have been mugged and the difficulties of getting there from Australia. The added annoyance is the reintroduction of visas. Barcelona is a wonderful city and certainly safer than the main Brazilian cities. I do like Thermas and frequent it often enough when I’m there although I don’t think it is quite as good as the well know São Paulo and Rio equivalents. Thailand has a wonderful culture, the people are fabulous, plenty of action although not to the same extent as the other mentioned locations. We agree on that. In summary Bangkok is one those places that I just like being there. Bangkok in May is my next port of call.

Strange that Squrrel House hasn’t got a website.

I wonder if this Squirrel has short term rooms.

It’s better to get there a bit earlier say between 3 and 4.

I like the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit. I know it’s a bit far from Patpong but it’s on the skytrain and has a magnificent pool in a tropical paradise. The service is wonderful.

What time did you arrive?

How true!

The old Lagoa, how I miss you!

I have stayed at the Meridian and the Athenee. I found the pool at the Meridien disappointing small and rather cramped. The pool at the Athenee is magnificent. A huge lagoon like affair with well spaced loungers.

I had lunch at the “new” Dusit Thani last December and took the opportunity to look over the place. It’s very nice and the location is excellent. I might add it’s very expensive.

My last visit was May last year.

Should have read “accepted the agreed amount.”

I’m not for one moment disputing your experience however speaking personally I have not had a payment issue at Thermas. They have excepted the agreed amount at the end. I have certainly had a few negative experiences in the Brazilian saunas however only one that was very nasty.

Can people relate their experiences of bringing “local” guests to their room in 5 star hotels in Bangkok?

A question about Glam’s. Is extra service an expectation along the lines of Senso and Prince?
