Oh, and i forgot to mention before, never had any issue with joiners during multiple stays there. There is quite some space between entrance, front desk and elevators plus there seems to be a good number of gay guests staying there, so unlikely that somebody will raise an eyebrow if you bring a guest back.

yes, Voco Hotels are part of IHG group and this hotel offers the standard IHG One Rewards loyalty membership benefits

Had several short stays at Voco Surawong since they opened a couple of months ago. Rooms are nice and of good size. Also I like the general vibe and design of the place. Breakfast is tasty with a wide selection and reasonable hours if you are not an early riser. The pool area was not too busy and great for chilling. Most of the deck chairs have no parasols placed next to them. There is however a row of 4-5 canaba umbrellas, each with two deckchairs underneath, so you can stay in the shade. It would be my preferred place to stay in Silom but they seem to have increased their rates quite a bit compared to earlier in the year.

Thanks for the pics and review. Rooms look modern and nice. I tried to stay there last month but it had not vacancy.

Agree about the odd layout. It's due to the building being a gems processing facility before, but surely some better layout solution would have been possible.

The rate was around USD 70 (incl. breakfast) for my stay last month. At current the rates are more like USD 80 plus and this excludes breakfast, which I often skip anyway. Probably there was some introductory pricing as others suggested. I noticed the same at the new Voco hotel nearby which increased its rates quite a bit over the last months. Luckily there are lots of hotel choices near Silom/Sathorn so we can vote with our feet.

Stayed at the Aiden Surawong recently. It's a newly opened boutique style hotel and part of Best Western Hotel Group. Rooms are very modern and stylish. Pool area is quite nice although it lacked a shaded area. Didn't use the gym. Breakfast was quite nice with several options you order from a menu. Front desk is on a high floor with guest rooms being on lower floors. As such it is no problem to bring joiners as you won't need to pass by front desk. Apparently the building housed a gemstone factory before being converted to the current hotel. As such the layout of the room I stayed was somewhat unusual with an open bathroom. Well, there was a curtain for some privacy at least. Overall I liked the stay and thought it was good value.

Looks like the first guy is based on Bali as previously suggested. Here his contact/social media links: https://linktr.ee/agbih You can also find him on X under @onlyagbi The second guy (what a cutie!) seems to be based on the Philippines. You are in luck, also here a X profile with some juicy content: @xunronquillo_14 although there are no recent pics/videos of him. I feel like it is OK to post these links/handles here, as both of the guys are monetising their good looks by selling content. Enjoy!

Is he still in Pattaya? Can't see him on Grindr. Looks lovely!

Forgot to mentioned in the above post. On one occasion (Shinjuku-Tokyo) I used on of their rooms, which was just a small condo in a regular apartment building. They gave me the address of a restaurant on the ground floor and asked to wait outside. Then the guy came downstairs to pick me up. On the two occasions in Osaka I had the guys come to my hotel. They were all on time and easily recognisable from the website photos.

Was in Japan earlier this month and hired one guy from Chance Shinjuku (one of several outlets in Tokyo) and two guys on separate occasions from Chance Osaka. I can recommend this agency as the overall experience was very good: - I booked through the website and follow up was by email whereas I wrote in English and replies were in Japanese with English translation. No issues at all with very swift replies and clear instructions. - The guys looked very similar to the pictures on the website. Only exception is that the face skin was a bit photoshopped in the pictures, but that is very common also on the apps these days in Asia and their skin was not bad. - The guys were very nice, good/experienced in what they are doing and clearly wanted to please. - The fees requested were exactly as posted on the website with payment in cash to the guys. The fees are quite modest compared to other developed countries. As such and taking into account the good service I gave an extra tip to the guys which they refused at first but then happily accepted. - Only one out of the three guys spoke some English, communication with the other two was by translation through mobile phone which worked fine as the idea was not to discuss world politics anyway :-) In the booking process you are asked to indicate your preferences (top/bottom/flip), so the guys knew already how things will turn out... I don't have any experience with other agencies so can't compare, but would definitely use Chance again.

I've stayed at Welcome World a couple of times. Last stay was in February together with friends. Never had any issue taking guys back to my room. Just walk past front desk, never saw that they questioned anybody about joiners. Rooms are a bit dated but clean. Location is great with direct access to the beach, also nice pool area.

Regarding the registration with local police station. The hotel will do this during the check-in process by scanning your passport with a dedicated device which transmits the required data to local police. As such you don't need to take any action in this regard. Some years ago it was not uncommon (and maybe still is in some places) that small/local hotels or ones in smaller cities did not accept guests with foreign passports. Main reason for this is that they lacked the device to electronically register foreigners with the police station.

Is the $20 promo with unlimited messages still available? I can‘t find said option in the purchase tokens section of the website.

y yes, there are some really good looking guys in HK, guess it all comes down to one's preferences...
