You think 7 nights is too short?

I have a 7 day break from work next month 

Im thinking taking a break ,fly from Sydney to Bangkok 

Im not strapped for cash but I don't like to waste it either

Do any of you ever fly to BKK for 7 days/nights?

Is that sound ridiculous?

I've told my story of going for a weekend from Dallas......That's in Texas, in the southern-middle part of the US...thought I'd save you from looking it up 😉

Better to have gone for a weekend or a week than not at all....

I had a rough idea where Texas is 😄

I saw it on television,it's near the Mexican border apparently.

If I was going to the USA for a holiday,which I probably never will, I would definitely go to Texas to see the guys wearing the cowboy 🤠 hats and be bent over by a Cowboy

While not a weekend, I’ve done a week which includes more than 24 hours of travel time from San Francisco.

I haven’t personally but I know people in Sydney who have stayed for less. A week is fine.

I think a week is plenty. I guess the flight time is 9-10 hours? That's quite easy to do, espeically if one leg is an overnighter (so you don't lose a day). Moreover, there's only a few hours time zone difference so there's no jet lag to worry about.

If you do something like what @vinapu does, you can squeeze in 18 encounters (6 days x 3 encounters a day). That should leave you happy enough.

One cost consideration would be if you absolutely must fly business class. Honestly, I don't see what's so difficult about economy class, but yeah, if that is a non-negotiable requirement for making a trip then it can make a difference to your calculations.

As for my own thinking, a week is about the maximum I can withstand in Bangkok. More than that, I'd be getting bored and restless.

It does not. Go for it. I did it twice, both in Octobers of 2018 and 2019 and for me it rarely takes less than 26 hours door to door plus jet lag resulting from being on opposite side of the world. Tiring but still it was fruitful and worth of the effort and expense, My last trip in May was only 8 days  but I was not coming from home  so less of jet lag issue and much shorter flight although surprisingly not cheaper at all.

he does from time to time but not day after day in row. ( Jan , 27 days , only once, May 8 days, only 3 times ) Every hat trick so to speak includes 2 massages and as we know there's nothing sinister going in Thai massage places

My next visit is 3 nights Pattaya, 6 days Bangkok, 6 nights Siem Reap,  then 4 days Bangkok, so different venues to break up the time. On the business class issue. I have a 12 hour flight, and I am lucky enough  to be able to fly business class. As you get older, I am 70, I reckon it saves you a couple of days of exhaustion. My flight takes off at 10pm, meal, drink, sleep 7 hours, arrive BKK 3pm, hotel, shower, ready for night out!

Only 3 nights in Pattaya??😱

As for Business class,it's ok if they don't wake you up...I found 1 hours into the flight they wake me for snack  service , then another 2 hours a meal service etc etc 

I know ...I know...I'm complaining 🥴I should just be grateful I could afford Business class 😀

Twice, as a  forty-eight year-old youngster in the first flush of my love -affair with Thailand, I travelled from London for a five day stay.  And loved every minute of it. I have no memory of how I coped back at work the day after my return, though perhaps my colleagues have!

U know u could very well tell them to not wake you up for meals. Or tell them to wake u up for meals at certain times, like 1 hour before descend
