Been renting and driving in Thailand for more than twenty years. Never been an issue. It really isn't the drama that people describe. I usually use one of the main chains, eg Avis, and their service is excellent. As for getting between cities, the journey under your own control is part of the fun! Stopping where and when you want, and exploring to your own timetable. You are losing half the experience if you are only focussed on the destination.

The Travelgay review reads like AI. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

He's a "Driving Instructor" ffs!

A Beer Brewing Festival that is considered too political simply because it advocates a position different from that of the government! Heaven help them if an actual opposition party want to hire space!

Sorry to hear that. As soon as I read that he dropped you off at the hotel and would return at midnight I feared the worst.

To be fare(sic) the Thai passenger duty on a recent return UK to Thailand ticket was a small fraction of the charges levied by the UK.

Good luck Vinapu, I hope it works out for you, and thanks for sharing your adventure.

Looking at the right hand side of the photo and all the filming going on...........Oh how their friends will be entertained(or not) when they get home.

Bumping to keep this warning at the top of the list.

Isn't there an app that calculates this for best/emptiest effect? Sort of like the one that calculates when best for breeders to fuck if they want babies.

Bandara Suites are great and no problems with joiners, who can come straight to your room or suite if they are not accompanying you. The reception will just call you to check that you are expecting them then buzz them through the security door to the lifts. Never a problem, and won't hold or check IDs

The alternative is boyfriend control.....my guess is that you are not still with that boyfriend

Well that's certainly true....

Except on New Years Eve..........

It opened round the corner in Silom Road itself a couple of months ago. I thought that was going to be their new premises, but perhaps it's just temporary while the old premises are renovated.

I found that there was a good mix when I was working there, although that's more than ten years ago.

I'm regularly surprised by the number of "straight" massage guys who get an erection while massaging me, before I have risen to the occasion and when I haven't lifted a finger except perhaps to touch their leg a couple of times.

I did some research for this scenario earlier in the year. This seemed a helpful website, although others may have more personal experiences. There used to be a gym on Thaniya with a pool for which you could pay for daily access. However I believe that may no longer be possible. https://slumberpartyhostels.com/swimming-in-bangkok/

Parsimony may be a disincentive to spend effort travelling possibly...........😄

The answer was already in the thread.

Hope you feel better and get back in the saddle soon. Just as well you had your three in a day experience, although there might be some causality here........ Hell one guy can pass on an infection!

Thanks Bravo, entertaining and very informative report. You fitted a lot in to your short trip, so to speak. My experience at VCK was also disappointing, exacerbated by the hassle of getting there from "the Silom ghetto" as someone once referred to it! I like the idea of the mirrors in the massage rooms but in reality I keep seeing a fat, bald old man looking back at me!

Wow! That was a day and a half!

Good advice. That entrance/exit is also more discreet than the main entrance on Patong Two, should you wish to avoid friends or acquaintances in that street. In October they were in briefs. If you stumbled into the Hard Cock show preparation room, the guys were wall to wall wanking out of even the briefs. I was so taken aback that I had to reach out to grab something hard to steady myself..............and didn't let go until we got back to the hotel.
