The best hotel for security I ever came across in BKK was not some hi so hotel---in fact the opposite , years gone the Grace hotel was great place for late night drinking -- partying (and anything else you would want) The reception area was one long desk---behind--open for all to see, it was rows of security boxes, not the silly wooden ones I have seen at some places- Just the same as the Banks have. Solid metal 2 keys to open-- 1,000Bht deposit returnable unless key is lost & lock replaced. On every single floor 24/7 sat a girl all through the night, they (2 of them) were on 12 hour shifts--midday -midnight, and they would service the rooms as people left. (always a good indication when you brought a girl back from some other place---and there was an animated conversation between them as you stepped out of the lift. "So you told me you never come here before"----No Not Come here --she come from same Village me-- "Whats the Village called?" ----Bangkok---right. If you took a girl back, Then stay in the room when she leaves--- they Phone & wont let her leave (get her Id Back) from the security area reception until you say everything is OK. No ID age check no girl. Of course as the long time residents know---they went over the top with security of the hotel that they were asked to help with security down in Pattaya---locking the fire doors,so people didn't leave without paying-- about 90 --100 dead--- 26 years ago Pattaya then, wasn't in any way set up to deal with a fire disaster like that. They still have an age restricted horrific video of it on Youtube-- I haven't stayed at the Grace for nearly 20 years wonder how much its changed.---Had a quick look at Tripadvisor this is "some" of their report Grace (Disgrace) Hotel, Bangkok. Review of Grace Hotel Bangkok Located on Sukhumivit Road and in Nana area. Its frequently visited by Middle Eastern and Asian tourists for two main reasons: its located in the center of the Redlight area and also close to the Bumrungrad Hospital. Grace hotel has different categories of rooms, the best ones are in Block C, those which cost 1600 Baht (approx. 49$ a night) and overlook the swimming pool). These rooms are spacious but not well lighted. The bathroom is clean. The customer service especially the receptionists in the hotel is bad except for one lady who is referred to as Mama. She is the one who can help, the others, however, are very unfriendly and sometimes rude. Grace is a brothel and not a hotel at night tens of girls from different countries gather somewhere in the coffee shop for display.--To sum up, Grace hotel is not a good place for families and even for tourist-minded individuals but it’s a perfect place for sex mongers. Yes, sounds like it hasn't changed a bit........

Thanks for the feed back from everyone---- As pointed out, I could scan the pages of Google/Agoda etc for reports , but they are mainly from foreign visitors who do not know BKK well. Also I would never have got any feed back from those sites about the type of area-- if a visitor is in a more seedy type area then they are likely to think all of BKK is that way---if they weren't , then they would probably wonder what all that fuss they have read about was. Thanks again-----helpful much.....

Go to your safe Push Lock button see the word "Super" push 0 button 6 times. If I have something of value--I usually leave in a locked suitcase ---which is no where near 100% , but probably 40-50% better then the safe. You dont have to have something taken to be stolen from - if you leave your credit cards there then anyone with a mobile Phone will have your information. You should never Ever--leave your CVV number on your card -- photo it and remove it as soon as you get your card. Without it --They can not use it for internet purchases, this goes for shops as well. The last time I brought some runners from Robinson's-The girl looked at the card for about a minutes & said "your number has been removed" I said I know--but you dont need it do you, this is not an internet purchase.

Aussie mum’s brave battle ends in poignant farewell
oxo1947 replied to Don Chance's topic in Southern Thailand News
Thanks anchadian....Its no use me getting insurance then---- seems I cant read the large print, let alone the small... Also article starts off with it being a 1.5 meter drop "Kylee Enwright fell 1.5m in Thailand in May" ends up with it being a half meter "Ms Enwright fell off a half-metre high balcony" it does look more like half a meter in the Video. -
Hi Guys---- I have lived Thailand 27 years so have visited BKK numerous times, but usually stay in --the more seedier parts. Daughter and her Partner arriving in late Dec for 4 days (in their 40s) . Looking for a nicer residence--- central as they would like to visit some roof top bars. So around the 2- 3K a night. And things to do - They are here at a week-end so Chatuchak Market will kill one day-(and probably me)--also looking at electric scooter tour for one morning (it used to be Segway's I guess they have cheapened it down) Wife also wants to ask the Loto numbers from the newest and largest Buddha Just built. But still some spare time--so any thoughts on hotel + recreation--- thanks. Oh yer also have to do new years night in Ho Chi Minn city with them, something I usually sleep through--But who knows how many more of them I got , so will do----have not been there for a long time ..anyone visited lately (Hotel--places to shop/visit ??) Thanks Phra Buddha Dhammakaya Thep Mongkol - biggest / newest Buddha statue in Bangkok.

A handyman who wants to charge 2000 baht for a "survey fee"
oxo1947 replied to Nickcage49's topic in DIY Forum
It is a little confusing ---the heading is "A handyman" who wants to charge 2000 baht for a "survey fee----which its seems he is not--- some people think that if he has to spend time , maybe measuring etc , that he should get some compensations--others feel thats the price of winning the contract. -
