Definitely no issue with guests. Recently not only me but also other member stay there, both in rooms on 5th floor where reception is and nobody blinked an eye we I was marching in ( floridarob, do you hear me ?) my fellow stamp collectors in. Neither my friend reported issues. If one stays on other floor, will not cross reception at all. It's why I like Raya.

I stay there 3 nights previous week (16-19)for umpieth time. Booked room with breakfast as it was extremely good deal for just 3$ more for two! As for their question I'd say it depends. More sufficient than fabulous but there' s selection of Asian dishes plus regular fried eggs, toast, cereal as tea and coffee. Some fruits and greenery a well. Some cooked dishes are changing daily.

But was and quite active some years ago.

Let us know if it worked on you. I my be interested. I can eat spicy dishes but effect on me is that for next 6-8 hours everything from steak to ice cream tastes the same, it s why I avoid them.

Bangkok VS. Pattaya discussion is like tea VS. coffee. Rational solution doesn't exist and all boils to personal preferences. We have members who were in Thailand dozens of times, and never braved to Pattaya but also those whose only contact with Bangkok is because airport is there. And all vartiations in between.

In ideal world, yes. In real bars have their uses, first being security. If something won't work, you know where to go and complain, something missing from your room, ditto. The same works for boys. Customer mistreats them they can ask for help. Boy doesn't show up for work and even his friends won't now where he is, alarm may be sound. Second - in bar we see what we are buying, we can touch and sniff. On apps it's on wings and prayer which I learned last week by call boy over for massage. Version which showed I the lobby was boy from picture just 7 years older and 14ckg heavier. Thanks God massage was great but great massage can have from 60 y.o. granny. So for people like me, where looks kind of counts before making commitments bars hVe their uses. And so it has for those who rather spend their 2 hours ogling boys on the stage, no matter how ugly, glass of beer in hand than nervously combing the screen seeking for that perfect match. Firing up smartphone rarely generates a trill but there's nice tingling all over when over approaches Moonlight or Arena, just to name a few.

Another one was that internet will stop spreading false news as, everybody can check the facts easily. And now where we are? Soon takers of vaccines and believers in round earth will be endangered and hopefully protected minority. So much about those promises.

You are right, I'm of the same religion. But all said I'd NOT tip mamasan unless translation would be necessary

Soi Cowboy or those busty girls?

Like checking busty girls in soi Cowboy early afternoon ?

For budget minded there's always own hand at hand I suppose. As for "ridiculous levels", this is, was and always be highly subjective. Often we hear price complains from people who somewhere else admitted to paying a western prices in various Sydneys, New Yorks, London and so on. When we consider price too high, best way of dealing with that is voting with our wallets while stating reason to respetive venue instead of looking for sympathetic ear here

While morning and midday meal tend to be regular for me, when comes to eating in the evening I follow rule" eat when you are hungry". As for bar visit attire, always classy, multipocketed shirt, not floral motives though. I leave that to gays. Then shorts, also multipocketed and finally plastic Birkenstocks. I always make sure I shave before setting off. As for timing it depends if other members willing to meet are in town then I usually yield to their sugestion or I go alone. Preferable schedule : dinner at G's or Foodland at 8.30, then people watching at Banana outside or Midnight, over Chang beer of course, no glass. Hitting bars around 10.00. I don't like to be only one in bar but don't like being squeezed in corner for being late even more.

You did not post anything stupid, my point was that sometimes is better to drop things whenever they are instead of partaking in discussion leading nowhere even if it harms our well being. We know we are great and if some others don't notice it, it's their loss at end of day

No kidding

Bring Vegemite too

Since Sukhotai was mentioned above, Bangkok Airways has 2 direct flights a day there. Round trip is about 120$, definitely worth going there. I posted about it I my January 2024 trip report and spent 3 nights there

Guys above, hope you realized your exchange fucked up this thread. There's no need to respond to every nonsense or even only what we consider nosense. For common good often it's better to let things go.

But only on the head I presume ?

3 of us will be lunching there at 1

If you mean Art I must report that his massage skills were/are very good indeed although it's a while since I sampled him last.

Several people recommended chicken with cashew nuts being best at Sarica restaurant on Suriwong beside Wall tower soi so yesterday I decided to see if that is capitalistic propaganda ot truth. Happy to report that in my not so humble opionon, indeed their offering is the best in the Bangkok I tried so far since fall of Roman Empire. Generous serving too and very good value a 200. In case of any doubts, in about 1 hour I will repeat experience just to make sure yesterday was not one time peak

The same here, it was nice to meet last night. I thought you did not like blast from speakers, at Jupiter and it's why you left. They are working hard on making their boys deaf as soon as possible.

Weather wise, yes

In January 2027

I just seat in front of mirror
