Quality hotel in Bangkok

Sorry folks another question about hotels.
I am arriving in BKK on the 8th and would like a very good hotel in Bangkok for 3 nights, i would like a suite with a jacuzzi if possible as i will be there on my bath day on the 9th(every month wether i need or not).
Price is not too important as i have been in Africa with oilfield trash for the last 4 weeks so i think i deserve a bit of luxury.
Has anybody stayed in this type of hotel in BKK? or heard of any good places, does not need to be girl friendly as my tilak will be with me.

cheers folks
see you soon
Simon

I believe that the superior room at the Chateau de Bangkok has a jacuzzi. Also the Intercontinental Hotel's Ambassador Suite as well.

one thing you can do is try priceline. pick 5 star and ive gotten the westin and jw marriott. both are really nice. the westin has a really big battub, but i dont knopw if its jacuzzi. i love this hotel. if you need to know how to do priceline, let me know.
also the amari boulevard hotel on soi 5 is really nice. pool not that great. the jw marriott has a real good sauna/steamroom downstairs

those are all by nana. also sheraton grande sukhumvit is nice.
if you want rerally nice check out the peninsula or the oriental. very high end. also on the other side of bkk, near the river. but since you are just going to be kissing and hugging, and telling ao how much you love her, you dont need to be near the action!

This is second hand information,but the Plant Manager where I work(He's the same age as me and running the Plant.Where did I go wrong? ) spent two nights in BKK a few years ago.(so I got him beat there )He stayed at the Shangrila by the river and told me it was the nicest hotel he'd ever visited.He said it appears in lists of the world's greatest hotels(his words)Might be worth a peek.

I just stayed there and I agree that this is a great hotel. I didn't have the platinum suite, but it was a suite with a kitchen, living room and 50" plasma display. Qbar and German Beer Garden within walking distance. Paid about $80 U.S.

But if Bangkok city was underneath your feet it would mean you were on the ground floor and then why would you want everyone to see you having sex on the balcony with Imagine???

Sorry AM just having a bit of fun with ya!

I am bored at the moment cos flying out tonight and just sort of marking time til setting off for the airport, got sort of organised this time and did everything that needs doing before I go done a couple days early, probably find out later that I actually forgot a whole lot of stuff, but who cares by that time I'll be in LOS.

All booked up in the president for 3 nights and ready to roll, you really think after 4 weeks in Africa i am going to let her leave the room and go shopping

just a thing about the website, the SPECIAL internet rate is dearer than the normal rate, so i tried to book the normal rate, it will not let me select a room for 2 persons , so i ended up paying the dearer special rate to make sure it was booked for 2.(only a few hundred baht but i could have used that towards a buffalo)

I've stayed at many hotel in Bangkok and have always found the Grand President to be the best. They have several different quality rooms and they will give you a deal for long term stays. I also make the Grand President my "home base" if I am just visiting Thailand for a couple weeks or months at a time.

The place is centrally located on Sukhumvit Soi 11 and everything is close my now with the Skytrain just right down the street.

Taking girls back is no problem, the rooms are great and the price is right. Give it a try.
