Nothing beats The Nana Hotel. Its not seen a paint brush since 1979 but the place is steeped in Character, Its how a Bangkok Hotel is supposed to be. Pure old school. Even the staff are from the Vietnam War era

I've been told by a number of Nana bargirls they refuse to go to the Grace Hotel, too many horror stories. One example, a lady I know from a bar on Soi 4 went with a customer there only to find a bunch of his mates awaiting their arrival. Apparently this is quite common. Another story doing the rounds is concerning BiB set ups but I think that is as far as I want to go on a forum. Plenty of other places on Soi 4 across the road.

That is common practise for Indians in Pattaya. They are notorious for it.

Didn't want to mention nationalities but they were the nationality mentioned. Annoy me more than the Russians to be honest.

I was a grace regular it had it pros and cons I never had an issue as a walk in I did find a much nicer place in the same price point called the Grand it is near the corner across from star bucks shorter walks to many services but no car park. If I drive the grace is easy to get to.

many others even including the infamous Miami, never again, I do like the view onto the Miami from the Sofitel Sukhumvit though.

I used to stay at the Miami in my younger days but it got ever more squalid and my tolerance for dumps vanished. It's a pity, it could be quite marvellous if they caught up with 30 years of maintenance.

Atlanta? Snooty?? That's a massive understatement. A friend and his Thai wife, married for more than 10 years had reservations there a few years ago. He and his wife were rudely and dismissively denied a room..even though he had his marriage certificate and offered to show them.

Snooty doesn't even begin to cover it; "charming" my ass!

"Your 'friends" probably turned up looking like tramps to be treated like this."

That is an asinine, ignorant statement. It reflects more on you than on them.

 

Over 20 different destinations in Thailand, staying at over 30 different hotels (ranging from 2-5 stars), over the course of 12 years with 4 different Thai GFs (not at the same time for the wise asses), and I have never once been questioned about our marital status or denied a room.  This includes the Oriental and Peninsula hotels in Bangkok, rumored to have problems, and travelling with similar couples. I’m not saying it’s not possible, I’m just saying it seems rare. 

My wife, of 16 years and I have also had this experience, but mainly in tourist areas. Even if no questions are asked you can tell from the look the staff give you as to what they think. The other is, asking for wife's ID card. My solution to this is to pass over our Aussie passports with hers on top. This stops any further questions.

 

If it did happen, I would lose my $hit. For the record, I have never stayed at the Atlanta.
