Updated transport info please
The taxi service from the airport to Silom is excellent. You take a travelator to the lower level after clearing customs and go to a machine which spews out a piece of paper directing you to a numbered bay where your allocated taxi is waiting. The paper also specifies the registration number of the taxi, the name of the driver and a photo of the driver which you keep so it protects against any scams. You can either pay the metered fare plus highway charges and the airport supplement or agree a fixed sum. I normally agree THB500. Alternatively you can use an app of which the main ones are LineManRide, Bolt and Grab but I prefer taxi as it is normally significantly quicker for exiting the airport.

Bar Bottle Service Etiquette
Correct but they like to try it on. You need to agree with the Mamasan when ordering the bottle that there will be no boy drinks charged. Normally they agree for 4 people (customer included) so if more than three join, you then need to buy a boy drink. If you don’t agree up front, they will assume you don’t know and charge boy drinks for all of them.

Western breakfast buffet ?
Le Meridien has the best breakfast in the area. Montien and Voco both excellent and Crowne Plaza good but not up to the standard of the others.

Massage Reviews Requested
……..but perhaps not the botched silicon enhancement unless you are into that.

Massage Reviews Requested
Avoid Fafa. It is squalid, rooms are filthy. They take money on arrival. Service is awful.

Chiang Mai Off Season September 2026 Updates
You are in a hole of your of your own making and I suggest you stop digging. You are making a fool of yourself mauRICE. An apology to daydreamer would be appropriate if you are a big enough man to apologise?

Site connection problems, AGAIN !
Gayguides has moved from a site that was fast to load, easy to use and easy to navigate to a site that is desperately slow with a home page that involves endless scrolling and the loss of the functionality to mark forums as “read” directly from the home page. I use iPhone and iPad to access the site and have found the new platform to be wholly inferior to the previous version. It is simply less good than it was previously which is why I describe it as a downgrade.

Site connection problems, AGAIN !
It is interesting to note that the activity and number of posts on Sawatdnee Network seems to have risen substantially since the Gayguides downgrade came on line.

Site connection problems, AGAIN !
That appears to mark the entire site as read. The old and more user friendly forum allowed each individual sub forum to be marked as read.

I think you mean he is a British solicitor or barrister. We don’t have attorneys in UK.

No more Fast track
Business Class ticket holders do get priority but no longer in the same signed Priority Lane as people who have booked Fast Track. Go to the main immigration hall but instead of joining the queue, show your business class boarding pass to staff and they will direct you to unsigned lanes on the right hand side which bypass the main queue

Losing it slowly , one day at the time . Summer trip to Thailand and Cambodia in July 2026
I was told by expat living in BKK that the Banana owner’s husband is very senior police officer so opening restrictions don’t apply. That’s why the separate big upstairs bar is often still open well after other bars have closed. Sometimes door is closed but party goes on and there will be someone standing by door who will let you in to the staircase.

Guido’s cat
Does anyone know if Guido’s pussy is going to be relocated to Pattaya? Or perhaps he will acquire a new pussy for “G’s Bangkok” in Pattaya?
