Bankok blues bands, bars & guest friendly hotels?

[jackcorbett 2]

I promised to check here for good advice on where one can find some good blues bars in Bangkok. He might also be interested in Pattaya although the Blues Factory is no doubt number one. The person I'm checking for is the moderator of another board. He's coming to Thailand for a month before the end of the new year. He also mentioned not wanting to cause a scene with the girls he would be bringing back to his hotel. So of course he would only want to consider those hotels that are guest friendly. I have not stayed in Bangkok very often but when I did I opted for the Grand President which is not very far from Nana Plaza. A bit picey at around 2000 baht per night. but I had good experiences there and liked the location.

Many thanks Dave and themook.

 

At this point he's leaning a bit more towards Pattaya than Bangkok but it is likely he will still spend a fair amout of time in Bangkok. Two more questions from him--"What do you think of this area: Ladprao, Chatujak Bangkok, 10900 Thailand? I need to be near the sky tram" as well as a good place or two in Bangkok for Soapie Massages.

 

I have no idea what area he's mentioning since I'm pretty much at a loss when it comes to Bangkok although I do remember Nano Plaza being very close to a Sky tram.

The Bangkok subway is the best way to reach a slew of soapies (subway connects with the sky train). Get off at the stop called Huai Khwang (? spelling) and as soon as you get above ground you'll see plenty of soapies (use the exit directing you to th emerald hotel). One there called Nataree is my favorite.
