Since COVID, it's moved across the street...?

Only during breakfast hours now..... I have friends that only stay at Four Seasons and Waldorf and wouldn't think of the Meridien or heaven forbid a Crowne PLaza....... Ohhhh, there are MUCH cheaper places, if money was the only objective 😲 I don't recall cement beds at the Tarntawan....

Just a search of Mexico that show up in the titles, there are 3 pages....the word Mexico shows up over 1,000 times.

Did you seriously not even try to look for threads about Mexico??? You've spent more time crying about people being unfair instead of spending that time to research. You joined Sunday, yet you know an awful lot of history ....except that of Mexico.....weird. Let us know if you need any info on Thailand too.....might be hard to find.

Wasn't it across from where Tawan is....? Used the wayback machine to look at DreadedNed from back then, just to back up my memories. Was one of my go to bars at the time 😉 https://web.archive.org/web/20000613042411/http://dreadedned.com/source/venue/bkk/bkk-mssp.htm

Google maps shows they have moved: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Madrid/@13.7237756,100.5169888,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x23a31623564121e8!8m2!3d13.7235557!4d100.5175289

Price difference? I worked as a hotel GM for a big part of my life, I can't justify the price difference. I still get rate benefits at Hilton, yet they're too far away from the "scene". The Tarntawan has always provided a decent experience, even when they were at 50usd a night. But at 20-25usd w/b'fast, I can't see my way to spend more than that....I had a friend stay at Meridien and I visited, very nice staff and rooms but not to pay 125usd or more a night....as Tomcal would say "you know how many guys that is?"

I saw you or someone mentioned this hotel in some post.....How would you compare it to Tarntawan? The reviews are mixed online for Furama Sathorn, mostly about aged decor,furniture, a/c and appliances not working. But Tarntawan isn't new either. I still like the latter because of its location, service, price and I'm nostalgic of the place having stayed there so much. So if they are the same price, with b'fast included....what are the differences to you, which do you like more?

I saw that coming .....😝😝😝

That was the 1st sign there would be trouble, even just reading it, I knew is was going downhill from there , lol

I KNEW IT !! 😆

The 1st time I ate an edible, I ate the whole thing, like a dessert. Followed by 8 hrs of unpleasantness.....My friends that eat them all the time, were laughing. Because supposedly you eat it in little pieces over time to keep the buzz going. It's like drinking a bottle of Vodka all at once instead of taking the drinks in a little at a time....how they explained it to me. I won't try them again....probably.

Same with me, I've always been nocturnal since a teenager.....I'm a vampire like I'm frequently told.

is why we'll never be able to hang out together, Paulsf told me that you and I have the same taste....not only in boys, but in sarcasm as well it seems 😝

And usually are the ones that need to be paying double, lol

Hollywood?

I enjoyed reading and seeing it through fresh eyes.....I've been going over 20 yrs.....and we either miss, never saw or forget many things 😉 And for someone like TotallyOz , who hasn't been back in a while might become nostalgic, especially since he spent so much time at the Intercontinental himself......

I drink lots of milk....and not the kind you are thinking dirty mind 😉

Some people have fun just being in another country away from home, some have fun hang gliding or visiting churches and temples.....very individual what constitutes fun for someone. You'll very rarely see me outdoors before sunset, I'm fine in a dark room all day, but some people can't understand that. people are strange 😁

Great report....lots of truths in there.

let us know....

Yes it is, but if you meet a guy on an app or in DJ Station, lumpini park, a mall, the same goes as in Brasil, if you didn't find them in a sauna or gogo bar.....be careful no matter which country. I've had things stolen from me in those situations....in Thailand. Fake profile pics are more rampant in Asia than Brasil, is why I prefer in person meetings....

I don't remember, do you have your Yellow Fever Vaccine? it's needed to go to Colombia from Brasil

Gotta be smart about the legality and documentation requirements that go along with it, from the start.....I remember years ago listening to TotallyOz telling what it takes to stay in the correct lane of justice or even a step ahead because every country has their own laws/rules.....I got dizzy.
