Miss Noo's Best Bangkok Short-Time Hotels

The year's hottest publishing sensation has been commissioned by our Mango Sauce Literature Correspondent:
Strolling through Asia Books the other day I noticed copies of "Tatler's Guide to the Best Restaurants in Thailand" on sale. This jogged my memory to track down Khun Noo who I commissioned some time ago to write "Miss Noo's Guide to the Best Short Time Hotels in Bangkok."
Khun Noo is one of those girls who you're always bumping into (quite literally!). A one time King's Group go-go dancer she's now a freelancer who's typically found after midnight in CM2, Music Cafe, Nana Disco or, in more distant times, the Grace Hotel or Thermae. In her late twenties she's been around for the best part of ten years and during this time has established impeccable credentials to write a guide to the hotels of Bangkok. Imagine: ten years plus over two hundred customers a year equals, at least, two thousand hotel nights. Great shame that most of the hotels she goes to don't give Frequent Flyer points!
Some months ago I had a "working session" with Khun Noo and agreed that she would write a one page review on the top one hundred short time hotels she had visited. She suggested that she would give "star ratings" to each hotel based upon the answers to questions such as:
- Are the sheets changed: after each guest; or, at least once a week; or, as far as can be worked out, only when they fall apart?
- If you check-in after 3pm and stay the full three hours do you get breakfast and, if so, for one person or two?
- Are condoms provided and do these appear new or recycled?
- Is there a shower and is the water brown or clear?
- When bouncing vigorously on the bed is there a risk of impalement from an uncoiling bed spring?
- Are the walls of adjoining rooms so thin that the beds may vibrate in tandem thereby leading to a seismic collapse of the building?
I hope Khun Noo will finish her guidebook in time for Xmas shoppers to put it in their Christmas stockings. What's more, I will be giving away signed copies to the first five readers who can prove they have been with Khun Noo to any of the hotels in her book.
Miss Noo has, however, been rather busy of late carrying out fieldwork in Pattaya, for a companion book she is writing, so it may be Christmas 2005 before you see either of her volumes in Asia Books.
If your Thai hooker sweetheart claims that she is seeking honest employment, perhaps this is what she had in mind.
