Do you still need a pre departure test for LOS? I thought they’ve scrapped that now?

What sort of budget are you looking at?

Can’t say I’ve ever had noise issues when staying there so I think you’ll be fine

Yes I’ve stayed there a few times and never any issues. Also top marks for bed comfort & wifi speed!

You could write a trip report in the trip report section, yes it is supposed to be for BKK for I’m sure no one will mind. There is a “trip report around the world” option in the advanced section which you can use when you get access.

There’s no link or picture?

The Landmark is always my goto if staying in Nana….it’s a little tired these days but reasonably priced for a 4/5 star and easily walkable for the girl.

But remember the massage parlours & BJ bars will still be open and FLs will still roam the streets.

Fair enough there certainly was talk of Malaysia opening this month as we have staff there who were telling us and I saw an article on it a few weeks ago….things move fast in Covid world though.

Malaysia are opening their borders for tourism this month I believe? A colleague from work has applied to travel there the week after next.

Surely that’s going to be a massive turn off for everyone? Especially when there’s loads of 4.5/5 star hotels that let you just walk in with girls without any hassle

If you are even remotely concerned about covid why would you even consider going with a WG?

That is true. A BJ with CIM for 800B and an extra 400B for FS is exceptional value. Although the girls won’t be stunners ofc. Man I miss Tik from Kasalong.... 😔

Never as I always bag up (as much as I’d rather not to...!)

I have a thing for Pepper Lunch. It’s simple, cheap & tasty (really like the beef option!) and with the chain not being in the U.K. it’s something I always look forward to when I come to BKK 😄

Manila has been on my list of places to visit (along with PP) for a while although I was surprised to hear the prices in MNL were just as if not more expensive than BKK. If I had to guess I’d be 90% on the prices being cheaper. Still would like to try at least once. PP is probably first though as I’ve heard great things and it is real VFM.

Usually when I’m in BKK it’s only for a few nights so I tend to stick to the GoGos & beer bars. Nana Plaza & Soi 4 beer bars are my preference but will always visit SC once to see what’s going down. Patpong is rare as it’s a pain in the arse to get to as I always stay near Nana. I can see the attraction of MPs & soapies but tend not to bother. If I was around for a week or two then yes but not when it’s 2/3/4 nights. For the same reason I don’t bother with tinder or TF and Thermae I tend to leave as I’m farang. Do enjoy BJ bars & like to make Tikk @ Kasalong my last visit before the flight home!

My personal favourites are The Landmark & Citrus Suites. Landmark has perfect location and reasonably priced for a ‘posh’ hotel around £100 a night. Citrus Suites is a bargain can get a huge 60sqm apartment for £70 a night and it has both the fastest WiFi & most comfortable bed I’ve experienced in BKK! Location wise it’s not too bad either 5 min walk from NP. If I want something cheap & cheerful I’ll go to Tai Pan Hotel less than 5 min walk from SC. Around £30-40 a night but decent enough and good value for money. Have convinced my work to pay for the Hyatt Regency a couple of times which has an awesome rooftop bar but it’s usually out of budget. Would take a £10 a night shithole right now though if it meant I could be back in BKK 😄

On that budget I think Sukhumvit Suites or Tai Pan Hotel will be best for you. Both guest friendly and close to Asoke MRT.

Wonder what’s gonna happen for Songkran next month? Would be pretty devastating for the bars etc if they had to close or ban celebrations during this period but I can see it happening.

Hi Dave do you have a link for this? All I’ve found so far is an article showing the Thai government were ‘thinking about’ this. I often travel from Singapore to BKK so this would affect me if so (although for now I can still travel from BKK to Singapore).

I believe it means you’ve posted within the thread

Was in BKK earlier this month and seemed business as normal just a few more face masks on public transport. Girls were as accommodating as ever although I’m farang which may have made a difference

You’ll be fine. Try to book a seat near the front of the plane for a quicker exit but I’m sure immigration will be clear that time in the morning. And also at that time in the morning on a Saturday the traffic will pretty clear you should be at Nana within 45 mins. Personally I wouldn’t bother prebooking anything.
