New online site like Lazada
I find books are always the hardest to let go, "I sure I will read that again". Especially the case as I don't recall much of the plot from the first time around! There is a small pile, perhaps 10% of those read, that I am ready to let go(although haven't yet!)

This time bit different - trip to Thailand in August 2024
Also it would be good to know which of Prince/Senso have showers in the massage rooms rather than down the corridor. I don't like being separated from my clothes/wallet while showering, nor taking them/it into the shower!

Safety
When I lived in Budapest with my dark skinned Thai partner, he was often taken for a "gypsy" and was sometimes treated badly as a result. He couldn't go into a shopping centre on his own without being closely followed by security who assumed because of his appearance that he was only there to steal. He once got chased across a car park by a gang of Hungarians shouting abuse. Fortunately he could run fast. There are a lot of racist hungarians and there are even good "gypsies". Let's not damn them all.

Questions about safe sex in Thailand
You draw a line around the waist. Anything below that involves risk. How you manage that risk is up to you.

Short term rentals
As far as I know all of their suites have windows. They have Studio, one and two bedroom suites. Regarding breakfast they have two adjacent buildings on the same plot, one is slightly lower rise and is the original building. This building has a restaurant where you can have breakfast and also supplies room service to both buildings.

Short term rentals
You might look at Bandara Suites in Saladaeng, close to the station of that name. I've stayed there quite often, no problems with guests and well managed.

GLAM's - 30 Aug 2024 review of new massage shop in BKK
Being pedantic........and with skin over sensitive to cheap oil, it looks like the difference between a 90 minute Aroma Massage and a 90 minute Clarins Aroma Massage is 1,000 Baht(1,290 vs 1,990)! Perhaps you get a super dooper Clarins room thrown in as well. Anyway thanks for posting all the details and Glam seems to be living up to its name. all power to them and going up market!

Another military coup is unlikely say experts
I am not sure that it is correct to say that the members of the Constitutional Court are appointed by the army(at least not directly). The mechanics of Thai politics are byzantine to say the least. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive"! This is an entertaining read for anyone interested in the set up and workings of the Constitutional Court etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_Thailand This is the same court that ruled on gay marriage :

Strange new erection in soi twilight that appears to be without windows.

Massage... Ladyboy?
Simple! Someone who is attracted to their own gender. EG In the case of males that includes the butchest and the femmist(is that a word?!). Don't overthink it.

Bangkok Airport Removes Fast Track Immigration On Arrival For First & Business Class Travelers
Apparently Mice were entitled to use the Fast Track. See bottom(appropriately) of the list of eligibles. I hope that they are able to use the new Priority Lanes!

Bangkok Trip Report: August 2024
Thank you for your sense of irony regarding anything "deluxe" in a building that is surely ready for demolition. But where would Arena go.....? So I don't wish for demolition of such an institution. I had always assumed that you needed to book a "deluxe room" to get the in room shower. I am glad to know that all rooms have that.

Bangkok Airport Removes Fast Track Immigration On Arrival For First & Business Class Travelers
If the elderly Business Class passengers, who would have previously used the Business Fast Track, now transfer to the Elderly/Disabled fast track it will be overwhelmed. I also wouldn't assume that the elderly fast track will continue......

Bangkok Airport Removes Fast Track Immigration On Arrival For First & Business Class Travelers
"Tragic" is a little over dramatic! In truth it always seemed that AOT/Immigration have been ambivalent about providing and servicing the Fast Track Lane. Perhaps this is just the precursor to genuine fast tracking(being optimistic....). The other side of this coin is without the fast track those companies providing VIP meet and greet services will find their income increasing.

Man Falls to His Death from Pattaya 5-Star Hotel
Must be pretty determined to go from the 31st floor. Too much time to think about it on the way down, and no opportunity to change your mind. Why are people even given access to the exterior that far up?

Paetongtarn Shinawatra: Thailand’s youngest PM at 37 years old
So having banned the party that won the last election on the basis that they were a threat to the monarchy, the next step was obviously to restore a dynasty that was previously driven into exile as a threat to the monarchy!
