Miss Noo's Best Bangkok Short-Time Hotels

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.

Green condom wrapper? I take it that these are produced from organic rubber trees...?

I'll get me coat...

:0)

John U says:

I write to stake my claim for a free copy of Khun Noo's book when it is published.

I think I can prove pretty conclusively that I did briefly employ Khun Noo last November. After a short discussion we adjourned to conduct business in the Tongue & Groove hotel, which is directly above the Pouting Pussy bar. I am sure the Tongue & Groove will be mentioned in the book. It was her choice so she must be pretty fond of it.

My proof comes in two parts. The first part requiring my presence in Bangkok to match my teeth to the bite marks on the right hand bed post in room 69. She was doing something excrutiatingly wonderful to my undercarriage at the time and the post came in handy to muffle my moans of pleasure. (the walls are very thin)

I could also have matched her teeth marks at the time but they've healed up now.

The second part needs Noo's confirmation. I was the guy who was good enough to give her a free dose of chlamydia. I did the gentlemanly thing of course and told her to take 100mgs of doxicycline every day for ten days. She wasn't very appreciative mind you, but I'm sure she will remember me.

I look forward to receiving my copy in due course.

John U says:

IF YOU READ MY LAST PIECE ABOUT CLAIMING A COPY OF NOO'S BOOK, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU READ THIS ALSO.

I'm sorry guys but my memory fucked up in my last bit. The dosage for chlamydia is 200 mgs. per day for 10 days, not 100 mgs.

Penicillin Pete read my piece and gave me a bollocking for misinformation.

I think he's going to say his piece on thIS site also.

He's a very nice man. Thanks Pete for all the guys out there who may have taken the wrong dose.

How about letting us know what to do about the other nastys.

Penthouse Man says:

Obviously Cirlce Jerks David, Phil and John U have no use for a shortime hotel, as their shitty little rooms are all they need to carry out their daily swindle of unsuspecting innocent girls with a 4th grade education. For those who actually can afford a sex life PB and Penthouse are quite reasonable at bt 240 and bt310. David, stop the show off act and provide the info you promise, otherwise your web site will continue it's decline as the website of bitter losers who just can't get over the fact that some Nana bargirl broke their empty hearts . Get over it .

Unimpressed observer says:

It's a sick site run frequented by sicko perverts. Think about how much better Thailand would be without these whoremongers whose big thrill in life is to pay a poor kid 30 or 40 dollars for the sex that they couldn't possibly get at home and then to have the gall to brag about it. They are a "race of men that don't fit in" and we would all be better off without them because their contribution to society, as personified by the content of this site, is nil.

Anonymous says:

They are a "race of men that don't fit in"

Hi Unimpressed,

Sounds like a generalization but, if true, please warn the Thai bargirls about this race - they'll no doubt avoid this type of customer like the plague. More identifiable description would be appreciated though, it sucks finding out too late:)

Unimpressed says:

Hi Anonymous: I always try to explain to the bar girls, just before they go to sleep, exactly what kind of men these are and how careful they should be, but for some reason I always end up describing myself instead.

MDLW says:

$30 or $40 dollars! Way too much!! $25 is more like it, if the lady wants more, she can find another sap.

John U says:

Well Mr. Penthouse Man, Unimpressed Observer and Anonymous, you are pretty sad people with no sense of humour.

I thought my piece would give people a good laugh. Surely you didn't take it as gospel ????

(Mind you the chlamydia dose is true, but I didn't give it, I was the unsuspecting recipient)

You are all gutless cunts by the way, as well as sad bastards. Reveal your email addresses if you can stop shitting yourselves long enough.

By the way, Unimpressed, apparently there are 2 million single farang males entering Thailand every year. If, like me, they spend at least 2,000 baht per day on hotels and ladies and stay at least 2 weeks, usually 3 or 4, then LOS would take a giant hit in the pocket. Could Thailand really be better off without us ?

Pookywooky says:

Try Honey Guest House on soi 22. It's not cheap at 500 baht for 2 hours or 590 for the night. (The night price is ok), but it's clean, safe, quiet, discreet, offers breakfast (extra) and has UBC, hot shower and airco. On the right about 150 metres down the soi. Some fairly nice (cheap) girls in the bars on the right a bit further down.

TANAI KWAI says:

A pretty well-known poem...

The Men That Don't Fit In: by Robert W. Service

There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.

If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new.
They say: "Could I find my proper groove,
What a deep mark I would make!"
So they chop and change, and each fresh move
Is only a fresh mistake.

And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half.
Life's been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;
He was never meant to win;
He's a rolling stone, and it's bred in the bone;
He's a man who won't fit in.

John U says:

Tanai,

A nice poem ,but I can't see the relevance

TANAI KWAI says:

It's referenced to little effect in the thread.

Greg says:

I like that poem, but the joke, it seems to me, is in the irony of it. Winning the race, in the Gypsy's eye, is rarely done by the plodder. Different values.

Dana says:

The poem was written by a mortgage holder. I don't fit in and I never fit in and I don't want to fit in. What I want is all the power and I want it now. I want a heart that will beat forever, and a mind without conscience. I want all the power. And I want it now. The power to crush my enemies, the power to seek vengence, the power to manipulate to my own ends. Keep your love and your community respect and your precious mores; I want all the power. And I want it now!

JJ says:

There is one hotel on the distant end of Soi 3 Sukumvit that is fairly budget minded. (I'm sure there is a dead body somewhere in the abandoned building with water leaking out of it next door too. You couldn't pay me to go into there in broad daylight)

My honey was complaining about the mosquito's that bit her that night. The bites didn't look like Mosquito's to me. Turns out I caught scabies too, but a couple of weeks later. Luckily there is a lotion that will clear the buggers quickly. They were on her back and my wrists, to be precise.

What do Thai people do when they get ripped off ????? We all know they never get angry ???????? I'm thinking of the many times that hotel booking agents that put you in 2 single beds (merci) or next to the staff service door that gets real busy around 6am.

If the Taxi drivers knew how to get you to a good and not to pricey hotel, that would be actually very useful, instead of knowing which soapy suds massage place is good.
