Good Morning, I used to live in Bangkok and know the city pretty well. As far as hotels go it depends on your budget. For me because of the exchange rate and the value one gets it is better to treat yourself to a better hotel than not. I used The Intercontinental on Ploenchit Rd a lot when I had to entertain clients" Its a great hotel, very female friendly and if you book a club floor room you have access to the lounge which in the evening does free food and booze from 18.30 until 8 pm. Its great value and if you have a "lady" with you taking her in there at the start of the evening will definatly impress her. If you are on your own, across the road is The Hyatt and in the basement is Spasso their nightclub where you will find a huge selection of some of Bangkok's most stunning ladies! Another good place is the Sheraton Grande on Sukhumvit where there is a great club in the basement.
As for looking for a "companion" is concerned places like Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza, Patpong are fine but the girls, and that is what they are, are ok for a "quick shag" but Spasso full of very upmarket pussy where a whole evening can be got for the equivalent of £100. A great night can be had and then breakfast in the lounge which is again impressive, then back to the room for yet more fucking, lets not be too polite because that it what we mean isn't it. If you are going to try Spasso, and I recommend it ask a girl if she can point out a lady called Jay, she is very well known by all the ladies and the staff. She calls it her "office" She is a gorgeous looking lady and a completely charming companion. She looks and sounds as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but your cum will! She is up for anything. My last visit there to see her was in march this year when I was back there on business for a few days. I arranged to meet her in Spasso. We went out for a meal and then onto a club for some dancing and to meet a few of her friends, one of whom she wanted to take back to the hotel with us. As she was a very pretty girl I wasn't going to complain was I. back at the room the fun really started. her friend was the cutest ladyboy with possibly the biggest cock I have ever seen, honestly, her name is Dao. Anyway for me still after years in Asia and seeing lots of things watching Dao fuck jay was incredible but then to be asked by Jay to take her up her ass at the same time was mind blowing and sack emptying. I am normally a 2 pop guy but that experience emptied me totally until the morning when it started again. Down to breakfast with Jay, Dao had to go, and Jay in her "day dress" looked suitable enough to meet their King and Queen. It made me smile to think of the way she had been earlier that morning and the night before.
That is what you wont get in Nana or Soi cowboy in my experience.
So splash a bit of cash and you'll have the best time over there imagineable.
If you want a great place to eat and impress, for Thai food go the the Spice Market in the Four SEasons Hotel just around the corner and for possibly the best Italian food you will ever have eaten owned and run by an Italian couple, Opus very near State Towers is a must.
Enjoy, I there again in early march and I cant wait.
