My friend will be visiting me this year and we could use suggestions of a hotel with a busy pool area, but not those that are very family oriented (he's not keen on a lot of kids around). Central BKK, probably 4 star (4000 Baht a night instead or 5-6000). Rooftop pools tend to be a bit quiet a lot of the time, I don't know what else is around.  At a pinch we could go for a hotel with pool where some of the ladies are for sale, but not a 2-3 star fleapit. Comfort is central to the stay. Or some left field suggestion maybe? Thanks if anyone has any pointers.

You're asking a lot.   Most of the mid BKK hotels of 4 and 5 stars seem to be geared for business and short stay visitors and the pools always seem relatively quiet. I use the The Landmark, very convenient. Grand Hyatt is good too, but can get expensive.   To better meet your requirements, better looking at the riverside hotels, The Marriott Resort and Spa springs to mind.

Girls usually dont hang at 4 star hotel pools unless they are already paid for. Best place is nana hotel soi 4 where you can sit in Hooters and a few meters away in the nana hotel car park are plenty of girls to choose. Its not 4 star but Ive always found the rooms clean

Thanks, I'll follow that up. We generally just like to chat and be friendly, so it usually comes down to engaging with poolside and bar waitresses, bar staff. etc. not looking to rent something for the day/night! ????

If you want comfort then you might want up the budget a little.

Thanks. As I said, not looking to choose/rent a girl during the day, otherwise yes we would just sit in a Soi Nana bar or other street venue. Yes the Nana Hotel is clean and suits its purpose! Cheers.

The Landmark coffee shop is ideal for what you want.  Sit outside on the raised deck  and there are usually a few ladies taking morning coffee/afternoon tea and cake.   They seem to be of all kinds.  Some just regular ladies, some tourists and some upper class FL.

Not necessarily. Landmark I paid 4000 a night last year and it's very comfortable indeed, but the rooftop pool was pretty deserted and a bit of a windtrap.

Fair enough and glad you were happy with the accommodation.

wind is good right now, wish I had some at my house, it's as still as can be. Mind you Mrs P and friends parading around our pool is consistent with what the OP is looking for, so mustn't complain I suppose.  

Hilton sukhumvit can be had for that price with a lot of Chinese girls showing their stuff.

???? Not kidding, you could give it a try, on a par with Marriott in a lot of ways. I was pretty surprised.

Compass Hospitality on Soi 24 off Sukhumvit is amazing. Great rooftop bar. Nice facilities. I know alot of people who like the Four Points by Sheraton on Soi 15.

Thanks but not my cup of tea, to be honest.  

 

Notwithstanding, I collect loyalty points from the major brands and stay up to date on their latest offers.  It takes a bit of effort but worth it.  

 

I have a night's stay at the Hilton next week for 3 x points so this goes a long way in reducing future costs.

Thanks for the help, guys. I also asked over at <removed>, but I forgot how neanderthal/spiteful a lot of the guys there are, just there to abuse posters. TV is King.
