As I remember, it was on the corner of RamaIV and Silom Road.
And they say women have a poor sense of direction. Robinsons on that site is long gone. The site is being refurbished or even built over - surrounded by sackcloth and scaffolding
I don't have a poor sense of direction - I have no sense of direction.
I go to see a Client for the first time and 2 weeks later I have no chance of finding them again without Sat Nav
In the old days I had a box in my car boot full of local paper maps
Scott, When you came out of the ally from Suriwongse hotel to Suriwongse road one made a right past Bangkok Bank and made a right into Thaniya ( the Japanese street ) and all the way up to Silom where one made a left and Robinson's was a few hundred meters down on the corner. If it were there today it would be just past the sky train entrance.
Your rememberance of the hotel are spot on. I have very fond memories of the place. I wonder if the man in his ninties was the one I remember; he once summed up the hotel to me as, "the mother house of our order."
By the way, some of teh people not trusting Robinsonj boys are happy to use Romero and all the apps/ Well, in those days there were no "appa" just the steps of Robinsons. Any guy you get on Romeo might be there for the very same reasons. Oh, and by the way, i HAVE HEARD STORIES ALL OVER THE WORLD OF GUYS GETTING HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO PAY. For Christ's sake pay the guy what you agreed.

IM told the new owner is the same guy who has taken over boyz boyz , A thai guy with overseas help , He will need it to bring the hotel up to standard
When I first stayed in 1997 I had to wedge folded paper in the tv switch to watch and the shower aerator was mineralized and mostly clogged.
I made note of this to Nai and it was immediately fixed. But don't give me any crap about it having gone downhill ever since Robbie and Ian passed.
They were just better at drawing in customers -gay and straight.
Would you say it got any better after they passed on ?
didn't get any fucking worse...
Theres no need to swear in your reply Mr Dab,, be civil
