If that's the one behind the parking lot on Nana, it is totally frightening. I won't go there if I were dying. However, I must caution that I have the spot right. On Nana, there is only 1 parking lot. Behind that are 2 hotels. One is monthly, and I believe the other is Rajah. If that's it, don't go there. If I'm wrong on the location, sorry about that.

Many ladyboys have told me they wont go there. You walk past it on the way to the Majestic Grande from Nana and there are never any light on!!! Strange place.

...came into town last year, late and was in a panic for a room for one night, all the regular places were booked....found the Rajah......and would concur with others as a very "tired" place.....room was clean but just way out dated. It was Ok for one night and close to NEP....about it's only positive point........Stayed at Dynasty Inn last week and it was a great room....but lobby, bar, restaurant is still under remodel. My room was better than the Nana's that I had stayed in the prior week.......Nana = Dynasty Inn = same price........Aloha

The girls firmly believe it is haunted and both pride and fear will prevent most from going inside.

..hmmm, sounds like a good place to hide-out from an ex-LB GF!

I've passed by it 1000 times, but went in for a short-timer last night for the first time.

The cafe is reminiscent of some old horror movies.

The lobby carpets are torn up, and there are rows of doors in each hallway with the doorknobs taken off.

Inside the room there is a circa 1960 TV with no cable, and no reception. The desk and mini bar look like they weren't washed since the place was built (1800s?). The beds are small and I was afraid to turn down the cover for fear of a flurry of cockroaches.

The shower didn't work.

Short-time was 500, and it was very short, as I felt like I'd catch a disease if I stayed any longer.

My advice - give it a miss and spend another 200 baht to get something better.

To call it creepy would be giving it too much of a positive image.

A lot of girls i have been with always look with horror at the Rajah as you walk past on the way to the majestic grande.

There is a lot of talk that it is haunted.

The short-time hotels on Soi 11 are actually pretty decent, although a bit of a hike from NEP. There are two, Playboy (PB) and Penthouse. I go to the same one each time but can't remember what it's called! If walking down Soi 11 from Soi 3 it is the 2nd one on the left. Go into the lobby, check in at the desk and use a room upstairs rather than the drive-thru rooms on the steet level. 350 baht for 4 hours. (It's the one without the 'f*ck chair' )

I've been able to meet up with several non-working LB's who like to have a good time. We might meet for dinner/movie and then get frisky. She lives with her family and I don't want to take her to my house so we end up at a ST hotel. Sometimes she asks the taxi driver to take us to the nearest ST hotel as they seem to know where they all are. There are 1,000's ST hotels all over Bangkok and the suburbs, for Thai customers. I've been in some pretty out of the way locations, but the rooms have been universally clean and safe.
