I wonder if anyone saw this article in the LA Times:

Civilized oasis in wild Bangkok

It contains the following paragraph, which, to me, is wildly inaccurate, at best:

The hotel's unlikely location has everything to do with its moral imperative. Situated in the heart of Sukhumvit, one of Bangkok's most notorious sex tourism districts, the Atlanta is a self-proclaimed "bastion of wholesome and culturally responsible tourism," an isle of morality in a sea of human decadence.

you mean the hotel is not what they say it is??

How about the Nana?.................'Lowers the tone of the surrounding area'

I guess I was just irritated that they slammed the entire Sukhumvit district just because of a few "entertainment" areas. I'd hardly call all of Sukhumvit a "sea of human decadence".

But, then again, maybe I'm clueless....

Oh my god, i live in a sea of human decadence. The title of the article is ridiculous too, "Civilized oasis in wild Bangkok". Like everything around that hotel isn't civilized?

who ever wrote that article, doesn't know jack shiet about Bangkok, he's problaly a back-packer just wonder around and can't gat laid.

I doubt it, but travel writers might. Especially if they decide to investigate "Bangkok's most notorious sex tourism districts"!

He probably stayed at The Atlanta and didn't......hence his gripe

The Atlanta does not allow 'guests', I think that's the angle the article was coming from.

Can we watch!!!

Sounds like the writer is quite the expert - he certainly doesnt know shi*te about BKK. Doesnt sound like a hotel I'd want to stay at anyways!!

very strangee...!!!

Sounds like you receive five-star attitude at a one-star price.

Well Soi 2 is where the Atlanta is, walk through Rahja's Hotel carpark and you are in Soi 4, sic Nana Plaza and noted outside street brothel

The writer was partly correct, but obviously a little disorientated, but aren't all first-time visitors to Bangkok!

Must admit though, from Sukhumvit Soi 1/2 upto Soi 24/33, is indeed full with p4p hang-outs for farangs, well that's the heart of Sukhumvit!

I guess I was just irritated that they slammed the entire Sukhumvit district just because of a few "entertainment" areas. I'd hardly call all of Sukhumvit a "sea of human decadence".

"A few entertainment areas?" You are definitely clueless

There are more whores per square meter on Sukhumveit than anywhere in the world. Can you name a place with more?

Thank-you. I've always suspected as much. I'm glad to have it confirmed by someone so worthy.

Except Nana, it's quite fun to walk along Sukumvit at night and the night market is fun as well.

Your front room perhaps Laz ?

Great article find, Mike. Now I have another hotel on the MUST VISIT list for when Lat and I and her sister Piroon and her Brit husband Alan spend our next mini vacation in Bangkok.

We'll be trying out the large 2 bedroom suite and the swimming pool and restaurant.

Ken/Lat

Suk Road is a long street.

I stay at the south end, 135km away in pattaya...no sex there!
