Leg 3 - BKK - The worst and the best Arrived at Bangkok Friday noon for 4 nights. I think this leg was the most eventful leg. Hotel review - So Sofitel - 2 So Comfy interconnecting rooms (190 USD per room per night): I booked simpler rooms and got an upgrade upon arrival. needless to say, this is one fine hotel. I love the decor, the location and breakfast is superb. It has a lot of sex appeal and attracts lots of gay travelers. My main complaint is that they were unwilling to guarantee me interconnecting rooms. They said they will do their best but can't guarantee which for me is not enough considering my trip's nature. Mails sent to hotel management did not help. I then messaged XXO Party's FB page in request for mediation regarding my request. So Sofitel was the host of that party. After texting with the FB page of the party, So Sofitel sent me an email that they are willing to commit, so I got what I wanted. I insisted on this hotel since I wanted to party late and at the same time be as close as possible to my daughter just in case. Spa Bangkok - I have been contemplating the thought of having a genuine tantric massage for some time now. That is the only place that offers it to my best knowledge. But their pricing for that is really weird. You either do a member for 5K baht a year and get it for 1500 baht or for non members it's 3200 baht. This is way to much to pay but I wanted to try it. @DivineMadman was very helpful on masseur recommendations and the masseur Wit was indeed very attractive and professional. It is what I imagined it would be - 50 minutes of edging. Being edged for that long is an intense and pleasurable experience. I was not close on cumming since I had cum several times the night before with my hotel entertainment in Pattaya. I think that it would have been more intense and better if I was actually horny upon arrival. Is it worth that price? Not sure. But it is worth at least a one try. Thanks for the guidance @DivineMadman! Arena - upon leaving Bangkok spa I thought that if I'm already in that building, let's see Arena's supply. Arrived at Arena and didn't see anyone I liked. Decided to leave and mamasan cursed me in Thai. I don't speak Thai but I know when I'm being cursed. I do not think I was in any way disrespectful. I did not return there this trip. Sauna Mania - after my daughter finished her nap, we went to Lumpini for the evening. I came back to the hotel early and gave the nanny instructions for the rest of the evening because it's dad night out at sauna mania's special OParty. This was the event that was published in this forum about 3 weeks ago on which I stated I'll try to attend. Met outside Mania another forum memer, @kishkashta. We went in, got naked and went to the show area. The show was a fuck show with Japanese porn stars and some hot Thai guys. Thai guys were way hotter in my opinion. About 300 naked men at Mania that night. It was PACKED. The host, which I knew from R3 OParty was as always amusing with him narrating the event with his mic and giving free sniffs of poppers to the audience. The host also made a lucky draw by shouting numbers of lockers and inviting the audience who owns those lockers to participate in the action. Kishkashta thought his number was drawn, but the host said he shouted a different number. Even so, he invited him to join, which he of course did and was a perfect addition to that team inside the cage of fun. After the show ended the porn stars came out to play with the audience. After that Kishkashta and I had some chill time at the balcony and later on returned to seek action. Left the sauna about 2.5 hours after entering. As I previously reviewed R3 OParty, this felt the same: very entertaining but not sexy enough. I'm referring to the whole vibe of that party. In my opinion, Europe does sex parties and sex shows better. But it was indeed a unique and fun experience. From Mania went to take a shower and straight to XXO Party XXO Party (#1) - that weekend a relatively new party in Bangkok was happening in So Sofitel. They brand themselves as a new, more intimate party brand. First party was friday night and I entered at about half past midnight. So Sofitel ballroom was not packed. Production did a very good job at producing the party but the fact that it was not full really makes it hard to enjoy the vibe. Also music was gay house but on the higher side of the BPM (like DJ station music) and I enjoy the more slower, sexy and dark BPM (like G.O.D music). But, I cannot be too critical of the party that night because I was actually inside for about 20 minutes. Grindr Hookup (#4) - After about 20 minutes in the party I get a message on Grindr. I saw this guy on Grindr the day before the party and knew that my chances to get this guy are low. He was both extremely beautiful and muscular. I texted him the day before and did not get any reply. During the party, he texted me back one simple romantic question that made me smiling and excited: "Can I suck you in the toilet?". This guy is what my friends and I refer to as a "show stopper". Which means that you leave what ever you do, and go for it. 3 minutes later, we are at the toilet of So Sofitel ballroom and I'm enjoying his mouth. He tells me I'm exactly his type and I laugh and say to him that he is everyone's type. I asked him where he is from but by his looks I already knew he is Filipino. He reminded me of how much fun I had in Manila several years ago. I would love to return there. Ugly city, beautiful men and awesome parties. 10 minutes later we went outside to make out and he wanted me to meet his friends. A pointless encounter but I play along. And after another 10 minutes we were in my room. He was a bit freaked out to see my child stroller but I explained him that she is in the other room which is locked so if we will keep volume to a certain amount we should be fine. Sex with him was great and he left me to sleep after about an hour. This was probably my best conquest this trip. The day after it was Saturday and Babylon (#3) was my afternoon activity while my daughter was napping. This time Babylon was kind to me and I again enjoyed the Asian and western cuisine that place has to offer. After that I returned to the hotel, woke my daughter for some hotel pool time. All gay guys enjoying their pool time and me and my daughter having our quality time together. Some of the guys there were really intrigued by the idea that I have a child so there was some nice conversations that evening. Chakran - Similiar to Mania, Chakran also had an intense OParty weekend. I went to their Saturday night event. In my opinion, this event was better then Mania's event on terms of crowd (less twink, more athletic), music, facilities, and entertainment. Models there were hot and playful. It's worth mentioning that both in Chakran and in Mania, non Asian guys percent was probably 1%. I always enjoy it when I meet a hot guy that claims to be top only but flips for me which is exactly what happened there. I enjoyed the crowd and left satisfied. Upon leaving I saw that there is a lucky draw - a big bowl with hundreds of tiny folded notes. The manager explained to me that there are some prizes of free or reduced entry to Chakran and 5 free massages at VCK. I took my note, opened it with the manager and we were both shocked to see that I won the free massage! He then asked me if I think I will come for it on which I replied "Hell yeah!". He took my details, I told him I will come in 2 weeks and we said our goodbyes. XXO Party (#2) - From Chakran, quick shower at my hotel and straight to the second XXO Party of Saturday night. This one was better in terms of crowd and was almost full. I enjoyed that party but having compared that to a regular party at G.O.D, I enjoyed G.O.D more and this time I think it was more related to the music than any other things. I spent most of the party making out with a guy I met before at Babylon combined with several other guys I met at the party and just texted before on Grindr. At the end there was 5 of us going back together to a room at So Sofitel. It was not my room since it was clear to all that group fun will be too noisy for my room. I do think that, for me, group fun is not as fun as one on one. Too many guys at once looses something on Intimacy. I surly enjoyed it but it only reminded me something I knew before - for me, orgies are always better in imagination then they are actually are. In real life I enjoy more one on one. Night ended happily and satisfied at 5AM only to be waken up by my daughter at 8 AM LOL. The next morning I was unsurprisingly tired. Took the nanny with me to CentralWorld play space and she played some time with my daughter while I rested and gained my strength. When returned to the hotel after 10 days with the nanny, I tipped her 3K Baht and we said our goodbyes. Half an hour after the nanny left my mom arrived at the hotel. My daughter was excited to see her and I felt some sort of relieve. Traveling alone with a Thai nanny was also in some manner stressful for me. I trusted the nanny so that was not what my stress was related to. My stress was more regarding what happens if something happens to me while my daughter is in a foreign country. During the first 10 days of the trip, while I was with the nanny, I avoided using motortaxi, took it easy on alcohol consumption and in general avoided unnecessary risks. Once I saw my mom, I knew that if anything happens to me, my daughter will be in good hands so I was relieved and also more easy on Alcohol, motorcycles, Grindr questionable hookups. After lunch both my mom and my daughter went to nap so I went to Prince (#2). I have no recollection of that massage. All my encounters in Prince were fun. But I guess that one was less memorable. First evening with my mom we went to the train night market. I t was my first time there and it's the best night market I've been in Bangkok to date especially in terms of vibe and food. During our visit there I got a message on Grindr. Grindr Hookup (#5) - During my visit in the Train market I got a text from a blank profile which I naturally ignored. I never reply to blank profiles and only reply to faceless pics if I see a body that is so good that I know face will be of no matter. Sometimes after ignoring, some profiles send pictures and some don't. After about an hour, this profile sent a picture. Based on that picture I was totally into him. After chatting sometime I was already back in my hotel putting my child to sleep. He asked for a video chat to confirm my identity which I had no problem doing. Seeing him made me even more excited so I was willing to Grab a taxi 20 minutes back to his place near train night market. There were several red lights on the way that I easily ignored: he was extremely suspicious and discreet, everything I stated that I like in bed he agreed to without adding nothing that he wants or likes, there was some weird vibe on his texts. But the guy was hot so I easily ignored it all. Upon arriving and seeing him I got even more excited. It will be hard for me to explain why, but something was REALLY not working there. He constantly asked me if I'm having fun, he seemed stressed out of the situation in a way that totally turned me off. I think it was even worst then what might reflect from this text. After about an hour of some sexual activity, I decided to cum because this hookup was hopeless. I always say that in order to appreciate the best, you need to experience the worst. This was by far my worst hookup this trip and in a good place of my top worst ever. A picture cannot predict chemistry. I have no idea why, but this guy texted me the day after and wanted to meet again. I found it weird cause I was sure he thought it was a bad experience as well. G.O.D (#1) - I needed compensation for that hookup and took my taxi straight to G.O.D. It was at that night I rediscovered how much I like that club. I knew that already but in that night I realized it's one of my favorite places in the city. Music is awesome, smoking is allowed and shirts are off. You can't beat that. Even at mid week you can count on G.O.D to be crowded enough after 2AM which is great. I make out and dance with a guy in the club. When the club closes he wanted to go to his room for fun but I wanted to sleep, so I had it my way. I was already very much sleep deprived. He did not hide his disappointment but after I explained him my trip's circumstances we exchanged phones and will not see each other again LOL. The next day my mom wanted to see Bangkok. And by seeing Bangkok she did not mean neither the Royal Palace nor Temple of the Emerald Buddha. We spent about 6 hours doing CentralWorld, Siam Paragon and ICONSIAM. This resulted that my daughter did not nap and me being rather tired at the end of that day. Luckily I had scheduled a meeting with @vinapu that I was looking forward too. Met Vinapu and later on @anddy joined us at welcome bar. Had a nice conversation and went together to Jupiter. Guys there are hot but their cold vibe is not that appealing in terms of offing one of them. From there we went to Moonlight. Show and guys were nicer and if I were in offing mode I could defiantly find my way there. Vinapu's guy joined him for the show and that is one HOT guy. After the show and some more conversation outside, I left for G.O.D (#2) to discover that even on a Monday evening that place is packed enough and with a good vibe. Same scenario as the night before: make out with random guys, exchange phones cause I wanna go to sleep at 4AM since the next day we move on to our next leg. This time it was to an unexplored territory - Chiang Mai.

Yes, that could be an explanation, but, I have a really good eye for muscularity, even with cloths on, so I tend to think not. I take into consideration that usually all is for sale for a price. But, If I decide to buy, I tend to prefer what is more explicitly up for sale.

For eye candy, yes. But, for me these places were not places I offed any guy till now. I know other members were way more successful in Moonlight. I was more successful at Tawan. I was surprised as well considering the reviews written on this place. There were some guys leaning towards the athletic build, but not something that I would pay for. At the middle of the show, there was sort of a break dance show with professional dancers that were not part of the team, and seemed non-offable. That team had 2 pearls but I did not even try to pursue them, it seemed that they were not related to that scene. I was there another time during my 6th leg with the exact same experience.

I must say I do not agree with the majority's opinion here. Yes, for me anal sex is fun and sometimes a crucial part of intercourse. But I had a lot of very pleasurable and intense sexual encounters that did not involve anal sex. But that is just me, I know some people just don't like it or prefer to avoid it. And I know a lot of people that cannot imagine a sexual encounter without it. But all of this does not matter, neither my opinion nor others'. You are the sole person who can answer that question.

His work was during day time. But, he was very paranoid about meeting me. Centara Grand Mirage is consisted of 2 buildings and his room was on the other building. He would only sneak to my room after midnight when most of the hotel is sleeping so when he crossed the lobby from his tower to mine no one would see. He said the hotel had a strict policy against staff entering guest's room. One possible reason is that he knew I wanted a body scrub because after "what about me" he also wrote me that he is not skillful at that. Other explanation is that he did not want to offer it directly in front of his staff.

Leg 2 - Pattaya - ALL inclusive hotel Arrived Pattaya mid week Monday till Friday. Hotel review - Centara Grand Mirage - 2 interconnected rooms (150 USD per room per night): This hotel is for families. I see no reason for a gay solo/couple coming here without children. It is far north and kinda isolated. For my needs it was great because this hotel has children activities, water park, children's pool etc. They also guaranteed me in advanced the interconnecting rooms which was the most important thing for me because I wanted privacy at night but also to be near my daughter and nanny. Breakfast is OK, but not more than that. Hotel Gym is one of the best I have seen for a hotel. Grindr hookup #3 - same as in Bangkok, I fakedGPS to the hotel a week before arriving. I then realized that one of the staff members is hot and gay. We first met on my arrival day but just for drinks cause he had a day off and was headed to BKK for the night. So 3 out of 4 of my nights there, my night fun was also provided by the hotel. So, I had zero intrest in leaving to explore out Pattaya. Fun with that guy was awesome with great chemistry and sex so meeting him night after night was something I was anticipating. This hotel was really ALL INCLUSIVE for me. Pattaya night out - I went out on my first night cause that was the only night my hotel entertainment was out of town. I started with BoyzBoyzBoyz that had a nice show but too twinkish guys for me. After that walked to Sunee which was dead so returned to Boyztown. Saw a really shredded guy outside Scandic offering me a massage. He stated the price of 1500 THB which seemed high for Pattaya but I was horny so didn't care. Later on I realized that 1500 included the tip but I guess that place enjoys the vagueness of that fact. Massage was fun so I didn't care that much. Place is horrible in terms of cleanliness and facility but for me it's not that important. It's always all about the guy. Helios Massage - on my second afternoon in Pattaya, I decided to try their soap scrub that was previously reviewed here. I texted with the place using LINE. They were unwilling to send photos of the guys working and mentioned they have athletic guys but none of them big muscle. The words "athletic", "muscular " are quite subjective so I had no other option but to try and see. Went there and was unsatisfied with the guys on display. Mamasan was hot but I didn't ask since he didn't offer. Upon exiting the shop he texts me "and what about me?" I then returned to the shop for my massage. That massage was awesome. It's in a special room and mattress with lots of foam being rubbed in sensitive places. I really loved it. Poppers in Pattaya - my second night in Pattaya was my first night with my guy from the hotel. We had lots of fun together but he said he can't do anal with me unless he has poppers although he's ok with keeping sex without anal. I had lots of fun with him but really wanted to fuck with him on the next nights. Morning after our first night of fun, I texted mamasan of Helios. He connected me with another guy and 35 minutes and 850 THB later I had been delivered poppers to my hotel. I love Thailand. Anal sex with that guy was awsome. He had a handless prostate orgasm, which is something I haven't seen till then. After 4 great nights in Pattaya, weekend came again just in time for me to do be Bangkoking again during the third leg of this trip.

I think you do need to plan how to do it. If you wouldn't need to plan for that it would have probably happened till now naturally in at least one out of many encounters you had with guys. But it seems that something is making things a bit harder for you regarding anal so in my opinion getting help on that is a preferable way of choice. I agree with @ggobkk that an expert will be beneficial for that manner. Not a regular bar boy but a highly rated guy from RentMen. These guys, if they are highly reviewed, have seen and done it all and you will be able to discuss everything with them freely. I would even start with a first encounter with non anal just to see if you get comfortable with the guy. I also agree with @spoon regarding that you should lower your expectations on enjoyment. It's a barrier that needs to be crossed and after crossed you might start enjoying that. If still in difficulty, and this subject is of importance to you, I would recommend seeking help with a sex therapist, preferably one with experience with gay men. If what you are experiencing is indeed Aidsophobia (which is not that rare with gay men), it can be sometimes related to hypochondria and/or some variation of OCD. A professional therapist would know how to make a better diagnosis and help you overcome the barrier with some guidance and support. On the other hand, you can decide that this subject is not that important to you and identify as Side: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Side. Good luck!

As much as it is tempting to accept this explanation, I do not think that my endowment was something that memorable that he remembered 6 months after our first encounter. He took it like a champ both times. If he works at Prince he surely saw and took all sizes and shapes. I tend to think this explanation is more reasonable. Although I prefer the too big explanation LOL.

Shalom y'all! Just landed. Took some plane time to start writing. Some Background. 35yo married + 1. Israeli. This was my 6th trip (and trip report!). My husband has a big exam soon so he asked me to take our 3 yo daughter and go somewhere for the entire Jewish Holidays period (almost a month). Without any hesitation I booked us both a ticket to BKK for 26 days. The first 10 days of my trip was accompanied by a Thai nanny, and the rest was with my parents that decided to join some parts of my trip to spend quality time with their grand daughter. The trip was devided to 7 legs and so will this trip report. I scheduled it so we'll be in fun to party places during weekends (Bangkok, Singapore) and the mid week we went to places where it doesn't matter that much if you come on weekends or not (Pattaya, Chiang Mai). Since this trip was relatively long, and most of my time was spent at kids stuff with my daughter, this report will not be a detailed one. I'll try to stay focused on things that will be of interest to this forum. Take into consideration that my trip was about 70% child play and 30% dad's play haha. The report will focus on dad's play. Leg 1 - BKK weekend - Engines on TLV-BKK 11h flight went easy considering the fact that it was just me, 3yo girl and a fair amount of carry on luggage. The fact that I won the bid for upgrade to buisness class sure helped LOL. Suvarnabhumi Fast Track - after getting recommendations from forum members, I ordered Fasttrack, golf car, porter and a car with a child seat. 14 minutes from airplane gate to the car!! It was not cheap (4800 THB) but very helpful for a dad in need. Upon arrival, met the nanny which we already knew from our previous trip. Hotel review - Somerset Park Suan Plu - 3BR apartment (220 USD per night): This place was conveniently located a 3 minute short walk from Prince. When traveling with family, the concept of serviced apartments is my preferred. Apartment was all I could ask for: big, clean and each room had a lock haha. Breakfast was medium. Will return. I decided that first day of my trip will be dedicated to commercial sex and the days after will be dedicated to non commercial sex. Prince #1 - My goal with fasttrack was to arrive to the hotel at 4PM so my daughter will nap immediately upon arrival. I've become an expert in adjusting her naps to my needs haha. So it was no more then 15 minutes upon arrival that I was already at Prince after checking in, greeting the nanny and putting my daughter to sleep. Guys on display were nice as always. I saw the guy I was with last time, who is nicked Cha. For some reason, this guy seemed to be actively avoiding eye contact with me. At a certain point he actually stood behind someone and appeared hiding. He was of course the hottest guy there that afternoon. And by hot I mean shredded muscle. Retroactively thinking, I'm not sure why I chose him knowingly that he is avoiding me. But that is exactly what I did. I don't come to Prince to get massaged so can't comment on that. But his service was even better than our previous time. And by service I mean getting fucking him while he flexes. And also the prefuck teasing. All was so good I have really no idea why he was avoiding me. But I am sure he was. Left that place very happy and satisfied. I will see Cha a week later at XXO party. He looked at me and said "you look familiar". I told yes, I know. He then said "from the gym, right?". The whole situation was so weird I told him no and just smiled and went on. I then found his Grindr and IG. He states there specifically that he is not a MB. I contemplated the thought of sending him a massage and talk but that stayed only a thought. Anyways, Prince was a great start. Tawan #1 - after my daughter woke up, we went to Asiatique market for a pleasant evening. Recommended. I Put her to sleep at 22 with the goal of making it on time to Tawan. Arrived at Tawan 22:30 and finally met this forums superstar massage reviewer, DivineMadame. We had a nice conversation and inspection of guys. We both appreciated the looks of one guy in particular over there. He definitely seemed like a superstar and got his share of attention and tips from the crowd. When the show ended, encouraged by DivineMadame, I went to say hi. I ask for his name, of which he replied Tiger. 15 minutes later we were at my room. I didn't expect much from that guy cause I thought he was more eye candy than bed candy but he was mind blowing at what I needed from him. Which was a intense and intimate muscleworship session. The next day I took my daughter to the weekend market. An exhausting and nice place. When it was time for her nap, it was time to go to Babylon (#1). Until that point, Babylon never failed me. Nor it did this time. Had a taste of the local buffet of Asian crowd and some white guys too. I really like that place. After some more quality time with my daughter, it was bed time for her and play time for me. Had a sex night with someone I met on Grindr (#1) during my previous trip. This guy wanted to film our action. I only agreed to do that with my phone so we did that, then watched, then played more. It was a great night. Came back way to late considering the fact that at 8AM my daughter will wake me up. Next day, after some more exploration of Bangkok's children's play spaces, it was dads play time at Babylon (#2). This was the first time Babylon failed me. Don't know why. Maybe I was too tired, maybe just bad karma, maybe after a while I got too picky. But after about 2 hours I decided that I need to face the fact that no fun will probably happen here. So I left Babylon unorgasemed for the first time and to date also the last time. At the evening I took my daughter to the Cat Cafe. It was a nice experience although I think the cats were way too friendly and probably drugged. After putting her to sleep I had some time to kill before my Grindr hookup so I went to Banana boys and the show and guys has improved since the previous time I was there. Grindr hookup #2 - I started working BKK Grindr a week before arriving with FAKEGPS. A week before arriving I just started talking to ALL the hot guys there. One guy, I actually talked to several times before but it didn't work out till this trip. He unsurprisingly works in the fitness industry. This time he was more eager to meet. We met for drinks at Silom. I then realized that this guy, as hot as he was, had serious issues of low self esteem. I usually find it tiring cause then I need to invest energy in making him feel desired and hot. So, I play along cause I have a goal of bringing him to my room. An hour later we are in my room. He still needs a lot of me ensuring him that he is good enough for me which is a little turn off for me. But I was really into fucking that guy so out of 3 hours meeting, one hour was probably dedicated on sweet talking him to bed. But it was worth it cause that guy did everything I wanted in bed. He also had a very clear OCD which made him very sensitive to his cleanliness. But he softened with time. All and all it was a great night. 3AM, 20 mins after he left, my daughter woke from a nightmare. I was very happy that it did not happen earlier. I did not want her exposed to the other side of this trip. After about 4 hours of sleep my daughter woke me up, and we started packing and getting ready for our next leg - Pattaya!

Got it. Thanks. Goals for this weekend: Attend every 10:30 show this Friday, Saturday, Sunday and off for a short time a different guy each time. This is my last weekend in Bangkok. Let see how that goes hahaha. If anyone wants to join me for one of the nights this upcoming weekend, PM me. Cheers!

This thread is too long to read it all Can anyone write here the current show times of moonlight?

Finally, after so many years of knowing you online. It was my pleasure. Thanks!

Last Friday, from about 20 guys on display, half muscular. Only one of them was shredded muscle. Number 38, Tiger. But as Vinapu once wrote. You only need one

P.S. Tiger @ Tawan. Wow.

Yummy. Will probably check it out. Will report.

As always, Bangkok never failed me. Arrived today to Pattaya. It seems that hotel staff here can entertain my daughter at day and her dad at night :)

Although I'm going to be in BKK very soon, a new BKK countdown has just started simultaneously to the current one. God save the queen.

Thanks all for your suggestions ❤

I know tropical weather forecasting is inaccurate. I'd like some thoughts or advice regarding apps or services that show relatively accurate weather forecasts for the upcoming hours. For example, if I decide to go to the weekend market, I want to verify an hour before I leave my hotel, that it's not raining in BKK for the next 4 hours. Any ideas? Mission impossible?

I'm thrilled to read this so close to my trip! This report eases the pain of waiting :) Vinapu, Hope to have overlapping dates sometime in the near future. keep up the good work.

Cool. I'll be in Bangkok 4 till 8 Oct (among other dates). PM me if you're up for a drink :)

In my opinion, A trip is better than no trip. One of my best trips ever was Bangkok's 2018 White Party. I came just for the weekend (3 nights) plus 11 hour flights for each direction. I say go for it :) If you have some flexibility with dates and enjoy gay circuit parties, consider coming at the beginning of October.

I thank you deeply for taking the time not only to explain my mistake but also on explaining the proper way to fix it. I'm doing the Singapore part of my trip with my parents. My dad likes the Shangril-la on other cities so he asked to choose that hotel from your list. My parents wanted to keep the MBS for at least 2 nights to see what all the fuss is about. So we will be doing 2 nights at the garden wing in Shangri-la and 2 nights at MBS. You saved us about 600 USD and probably some misery. Thanks again. Will update on my impressions of both hotels.

Thanks for this. I will look for alternatives. I need a hotel that guarantees adjoining rooms so my options are a little more limited.

Hey guys, I'm lucky enough to return to my favorite city in the world, once again this year. This time for my longest stay yet. My husband has a big exam soon so he asked if we could let him study quietly during the month of the Jewish holidays. So it is just me and my daughter coming this time. I will be accompanied by a nanny for 10 days and the remaining time by my parents who refused to be away from their granddaughter for such a long time. This is my itinerary: Sep 27 BKK 3 nights (Somerset Park) Sep 30 Pattaya 4 nights (Centara grand Mirage) Oct 4 BKK 4 nights (Sofitel So - XXO Party) Oct 8 Chiang Mai (first time there) 3 nights (Le Meridien) Oct 11 Singapore (first time there) 4 nights (Marina bay sands) Oct 15 Pattay 3 nights (Centara grand mirage) Oct 18 BKK 3 nights (Grand central point Ratchadamri) Same as the previous trip, most of the day time will be kids fun stuff with my daughter (I have other forums to get advice for that) and night time will be daddy's fun time. I know some of my hotels are not the first choice of a gay traveler but they were chosen because they were family friendly. I'd rather take a taxi to the gay area and keep my daughter in a hotel that is suited for her. Needed: 1. Any current advice and information on what's fun now on any of my destinations, especially the ones I haven't visited. 2. If anyone wants to meet and have a drink at the bars of BKK or Pattaya, I would love that. 3. Most of my hotels are with cancelation. But, as I said, if you think a different hotel is better, take into consideration that I'm traveling with a almost 3 yo ninja :) One month to go!!
