Pinocchio’s Club, Ladyboy bar, Patpong soi 2, Bangkok

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Do not believe the sign on the door that reads “Ladies and Ladyboys“. There are no ladies in that bar. Pinocchio’s Club Bangkok is a Ladyboy-only bar. Pinocchio’s Club is a small bar (not a Go-Go bar, there is no stage and no dancer) with the counter on the left and the sitting area on [...]

Nana HiSo Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 3, Bangkok

Monday, February 27th, 2012

The name is a bit misleading. Nana HiSo Hotel Bangkok is not really Hi-So and not really in Nana. It is located near the Phetchaburi end of Sukhumvit soi 3 (soi Nana Nua), a good 15 minute walk from Sukhumvit Road and Nana Plaza. And it is nice and cozy but not Hi-So at all. [...]

Bus Stop Bangkok is an open air restaurant and bar offering a panoramic view on Sukhumvit soi 4, directly at ground floor level but also from the mezzanine.

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

I guess if you read this blog you know what a Go-Go bar is, but why do we call them Go-Go bars or A Gogo Bars? Where does this name come from? I bet you don’t know. On their February monthly column, Bangkok Eyes have a selection of some of their best stories published during [...]

Strand Inn Bangkok, Hotel and Short Time Hotel, Patpong, Bangkok

Monday, February 20th, 2012

Due to its location, directly on Patpong soi 2, opposite Electric Blue Go-Go bar and next to Badabing Go-Go bar, Strand Inn Bangkok is not an hotel where one wants to stay for a long period of time. However the hotel standards would definitely meet long stay requirements and they do offer daily and even [...]

CitiChic Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 13, Bangkok

Friday, February 17th, 2012

I thought I had already reviewed this boutique hotel but I had not. CitiChic Hotel Bangkok opened a few years ago near the end of Sukhumvit soi 13 and at the time it looked like a nice and cozy boutique hotel. It is aging quickly, considering that it has only been around for a couple [...]

Bless Residence Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 33, Bangkok

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Bless Residence is a boutique hotel but also offers serviced apartments with long-term rates for long stays. All rooms, from the 50 sqm studio room to the 80 sqm grand suite, include a fridge and a small kitchen. Hence the name, I suppose, that suggests more Serviced Apartments than regular hotel. Of course, this all [...]
