What is the average cost for a nice dinner in a nice restaurant (2022/2023) for 2 people in BKK excluding drinks. I know nice is a relative term, but I mean not too casual like a pizza or very fancy. Something in the middle. 

As you say it is a relative term, but I'd say 1500 Baht to 3000 Baht upwards.

Obviously if going to an upmarket restaurant in a hotel or stand alone Restaurant expect more.

 

Recently ate at kub kao kub pla at T21 and had 3 dishes and all up was just under 1400 Baht.

Here has pricing for each dish Kub Kao Kub Pla (กับข้าวกับปลา) - อารีย์ on Grab Food.

Nara Thai is another restaurant chain in some of the major shopping centres and pricing is similar.

Got here last night.  Cost was 250 baht without tip.  I had him drop me off at the S15 Hotel, which is kiddie corner from Thermal Cafe.  We used the toll about 0100.

Pretty normal fare from memory, and one I'd be happy to pay.

 

Last week I got a taxi from Four Points to Airport and the door man said it was 500 baht, so I asked why the driver could not use the meter and was told 500 baht.

 I could not be bothered arguing over it and got in and as we left the taxi driver said "Hotel Mafia" and that had to pay the hotel 200 of the 500 baht fare.

I raised this with the hotel once home and doorman has been spoken to and staff reminded to move along any taxi wanting a fixed fare.

 

For those traveling light and during the operating hours, the Airport link and MRT or BTS are easy and cheap.

The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is one of my favourite hotels in Bangkok. I stay there every other trip. Decent gym, club house-style facility and lagoon-like pool area (though the water isn't heated). However, the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is expensive. It's a luxury brand (in Asia) after all.

You don't have to register girls, but the hotel makes you sign a waiver each time you have a girl go to your room. The waiver is you acknowledging that you take responsibility for the guest. A staff will escort the girl to you room and you have to sign the waiver at the door.

 

Never had this happen to me in my 14 stays at the hotel.

Or do you mean your in the room and the girl comes to your room escorted by the staff member?

I think to plan travel for October / November is realistic but with some risk still involved.

That risk is cases of Covid 19 increase due to the increase in tourists into the country and also back into your own country.

 

In Australia we have a travel ban on leaving except under certain circumstances and there is arrival caps on return which has left 1,000's still stranded overseas.

On return we have to enter hotel quarantine for 14 nights and then there is the minefield of each state having their own rules.

I heard on the radio today even though vaccinations have started those entering Australia who are vaccinated will still need to enter hotel quarantine.

The travel ban is due to end around March 18th but I am positive it will be extended again for another 3 months after leaving it until mid June when we see the effects of vaccinations happening and when the outlook for the rest of the year will start to look clearer and hopefully more promising.

 

Do you have the Thai sim card or phone with the Thai number with you?

 

Also check this link that might help.

I was hoping to go October/ November this year but pushed that idea to February which I think will not happen and Thailand will not open up for regular tourists until 2nd or 3rd quarter next year.

So my Plan A got canned and Plan B too with Plan C being October/ November next year as a realistic option and June/ July/ August as a hopeful option.

My first thought is The Game near Nana BTS.

Also try The Sportsman in Soi 13

I used to check in at Hotel, shower and head out for a BJ and a beer followed by a lot more beer.... ahhh the good old days.

And last few hours on leaving do it in reverse- check out go have a few drinks then get a BJ and back to hotel to pick up bag and head to airport.

Lately I’ve become boring and check in then wait for my regular girl to show up and then go eat and relax until the evening when it would be sexy time and sleep.

Hey everybody, 

 

 I'm going to BKK in February and will stay in this hotel....  So just couple of question:

Is it a good hotel (Room, Service, pool...)? 

How about  the location how far from the action? 

Is guest friendly? 

Thanks 

 

I have never stayed but looking at it on a map it is far from any action i.e. NEP and Soi Cowboy.

I regularly stay at Four Points in Soi 15 which might be worth you changing too depending on price compared to your chosen Hotel.

Other hotels to look at are Dream Hotel in Soi 15 or Arte Hotel in Soi 19.

 

Best way to get a recommendation is post your room budget range per night in Baht i.e. 1500 THB to 2500 THB a night and if wanting breakfast included etc.

Anyone online and around? Here for 24 hours.

yes to both.... 😀

thanks I'll by there for 4 nights, where do you get the promo codes? 

On a computer bring up the Marriott website and search for the booking dates and under the offers tab you should see what’s available.
LTS is a long term rate , ADV or ADP ??? Will bring up and advance purchase rate.

Hi All,

I'm considering booking at this hotel in mid January. Should I book now or does the price get cheaper as the closer it gets?

Also, if you barfine a girl from soi cowboy, do you take taxi to this hotel or walk? thanks

 

How many nights you looking at staying there?

There is different promo codes that will discount the room depending on length of stay when booking direct.

 

I have found the price will increase the closer to your required date.

I’m currently there on a 10 nights stay which I booked months in advance as a flexible rate with promo code LTS and in the last couple months the prepaid rate has been above what I am paying.

 

As for taxi or walking, walking would be a lot quicker.

IIRC you can access that Super RIch by not going past the turnstiles. 

I just checked the app and it says Nana branch is inside the station where as Asok is listed outside station.

If I remember I'll double check next week when I am back in town.

From memory the Super Rich (Orange) at Nana BTS is after the turnstiles and this might be why some have not noticed it.

As everyone has said, Vasu is closed on Sunday and also the head office branches of Super Rich - Green and Orange, with the other branches dotted around Bangkok open.

The Super Rich Orange and Super Rich Green smart phone app has locations and opening hours.

If I get my sh!t together November 9 to 19th is when I'll be in BKK though I am considering a couple days in Pattaya.... I really need a couple days away from BKK and need to find the excitement of it all again.

I have plans on being there Nov 8 or 9th until 18th or 19th.... Just got to bite the bullet and book airfare.

I agree with Rocky Rockstar and don't worry about the language barrier.

Is it new?.... Yes and no, been around about 6 or more months now.

In April when I was there I was never asked though at Asoke or Siam station which surprised me.

 

Everyone with a Rabbit card is meant to register it against their ID card / Passport.

When I read about it I thought it was a once off registration and then top up without needing to produce the ID or Passport again but I think it is meant to be every time.

Is a key card needed to operate the elevator for the Four Points?

 

Yes, except for 8th floor where AmBar and the pool is located

Do you have to have a prescription to buy from legit drug stores?

For the places such as Boots... or is it Watson’s ... I can never remember, yes but the pharmacy you see along the streets you can walk in without one and ask for virtually anything you want.

I've never stayed at GCP T21 but have multiple times at Four Points (It's my regular hotel now).

Four Points has an entrance you can use from Soi 17, just use your room card to open the gate and walk along the path to the door near the restaurant.

You are far enough away from reception to not really be noticed.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

The staff there once helped my bar fine of the night get from the taxi to the room in a wheel chair they had in the lobby.

What a night, vomited over by her in the taxi, her arguing with the taxi driver over the cleaning fee he wanted (I was happy with his request and she was not) then her dropping to the ground legless drunk which lead to them getting a wheel chair and escorting us to the room.

A couple hours of me looking after her while she dry reached and slept on and off was rewarded with her waking up horny as hell later in the night and climbing on top and going for it... 3 times that night.

Ahhhhh memories :wub: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks. Not to hijack the original post but can I just check is the Apcalis SX tablets ones that stay in your system for 24/36 hours so you only need one tablet a day maximum?

 

Yes :D

Hi team

Two quick questions...apcalis or Kamagra jelly? Which do you think is most effective and cost effective?

 

And

 

Is there any recommended pharmacy near Asoke that would be a good place to try to puchase the above items.

 

Thanks

 

 

I have only used Apcalis and it works well for me, Apcalis SX cost 400 baht from the place I recommend below..

You can go to South East Pharmacy just along from The Westin (That was where you said you are staying in an earlier post??).

Walk along Sukhumvit Road and once you pass Soi 15 you will find it.

So need to cross the road 3 times: Sukhmavut, soi 23 and then Sukhmavit again with a gogo girl, right?(since no cross road between Soi Cowboy to Termainal 21)

 

Walk out of Soi Cowboy, cross Asok Montri Road (Soi 21) and then you are virtually at Terminal 21.

Google maps tells me it's 190 meters and 4 minute walk to hotel.

 

Going up and over using the BTS access will get your girl yak yak yaking about all the steps :lol:
