Phayathai District Fun Places??

[camperboy]

Will be staying at

Karnmanee Palace Hotel

1 Pradiphat Road
Phayathai District
Bangkok 10400


Obviously I am quite clueless about the gay places so I need help... Any places around my area? Or how can I go to happening places from the hotel...?

A friend says my place is far from those places....is it true?

Help appreciated...

Is it far from Soi Thantawan...or the palace?

[camperboy]

first of all why you chose to stay there ...you must of had reasons

Friend having a meeting there...

[camperboy]

must be a boring place to be... so sad.

Or how can I go to happening places from the hotel...?

See the BTS map - http://www.bts.co.th/en/map.asp# - get on at Phya Thai station, change at Siam, go to Sala Daeng - 15 minutes, tops. It may still be running when you go back to the hotel, otherwise taxis aren't that expensive. I used to live out there when I first came to Bangkok; I suspect a taxi would be under 100 baht

They are supposed to use their meters. Assuming you are with a boy, you can get him to insist if you are reluctant and the driver doesn't do so automatically

The Karnmanee Hotel is located in Saphan Kwai, and the nearest Skytrain station to the Karnmannee is Saphan Kwai, not Phaya Thai (as Herr Homintern writes above). It's a decent, basic hotel with a reasonable price for Bangkok. It's has a rooftop pool, and offers the same same run of the mill buffet breakfast included in the price as so many other 'midde' hotels do ... very comparable to the Pinnacle Lumphini on most levels We've stayed there many times and can recommend it if you are looking for 'clean/basic' rather than luxury.

Saphan Kwai neighbourhood has lots of small gogo and host bars in some of the sois off Pradiphat Rd, but haven't been to any for some time. They are more laid back than the Silom/Suriwong places and are often favourites of Bangkok long-termers. The link above to DreadedNed maps will help you find the names ... though bars there change often and the maps on DN may be outdated in some cases.

Taxis in Bangkok will only rip you off if they refuse to use their meters. This happens more often at night, and is a fairly frequent attempt in Silom area. Always open the taxi passenger door first and ~ standing outside ~ tell the driver where you want to go, and that he uses the meter. If he says no to the meter thing, don't whine or complain, just say thanks-but-no-thanks and shut the door and try another taxi. You'll have no trouble getting one a few minutes later.

I wonder why gra45 is offering advice on such things as he has already posted an incredibly naive thread along the same line (" ... what is a telephone bar ... ?") and has been to Bangkok once.

Cheers ...
