  1. Do you mean by car? I would have thought it easier to get the MRT to Hua Lamphong and either walk or get a taxi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I've booked 5 nights in one of the Executive City view rooms. Looked nice and I think they have free drinks during happy hour too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Supposed to be launching soon. The best one was Puket Info. Sadly it closed down but most of them migrated over to Thai Dreaming forum. It's not Phuket Specific but there are lots of Phuket regulars there. http://www.thai-dreaming.com/forums/forum.php
  4. Good on you to help them out. I wonder how many people aren't so lucky though on a daily basis. Must be worse in Pattaya. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I used the following to learn the alphabet and vowels and within a few weeks was able to read some words and also improve my pronunciation. http://1steasythaialphabet.com/ Once you know the alphabet and vowels there are plenty of books to help you learn how to structure sentences and talk in different situation. This one is quite handy as it covers various every day scenarios such as ordering food, asking for directions, talking about family ect... https://www.waterstones.com/product/easy-thai/jintana-rattanakhemakorn/9780804842563 Finally, and this is probably the most important tool I have, I use the Thai-English iOS app. This is based on the thai-language.com site. I can practice writing on my phone, hear how they words sound, forming sentences and the app itself has a vast library of example scenarios. It's all offline as well so no dependency on being connected to the web. If there are things I want to say and want to check if it makes sense I can use this to check as well. Goes without saying that you will pick up Thai quicker if you know the alphabet.
  6. ยุ - yoo means to cheer If you want to ask where are you its อยู่ไหน - yuu nai. Could just be spelled wrong. Since j learned the alphabet I notice lots of basic spelling errors from girls on Facebook posting status' ect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/bb-boutique-mansion/hotel/bangkok-th.html?cid=1419654 I've stayed here twice before. Nice size clean rooms with wifi, fridge, safe, cable TV. It's on a quiet soi just around the corner from Cowboy.
  8. Ah ok in that case I'll translate. Although the transliteration for Thai is stupid as there is no 1 universal system so you see different ways of spelling it. Sabai dee mai - how are you? khaw - may I have khaw bhur thor a sap khoon dai mai - can I have your phone number? Ao bpai thiao tha leh gap khoon - I want to go to the beach with you Bpai duay - go together bpai mai - wanna go? Lang jak tam ngan khoon tam arai - what you doing after work? Ghee mohng khoon set tam ngan - what time you finish work? Nee thao rai - how much is this? Seua khawng - shopping Lawng sai dai mai - can I try this on? Dai - ok Mai dai - not ok/cannot
  9. Some useful stuff from me: วันนี้คุณสบายดีไหม - how are you today? ขอเบอร์โทรศัพท์คุณได้ไหม - may I have your phone number ขอ - is may I or can I so can be used in many ways Say your In the south and you want to go hit a beach with your barfine. เอาไปเที่ยวทะเลกับคุณ - I want to go to the beach with you Or เอาไปเที่ยวทะเลด้วยได้ไหม - I want to go to the beach together A good one to use if you want to hook up with someone after work. หลังจักทำงานคุณทำอะไร - after work what you doing? Or ยุ่งไหม - busy? กี่โมงคุณเสร็จทำงาน -what time do you finish work? นี่เท่าไร - how much is this?
  10. Not that I can remember. It is a good experience being up close though.
  11. Lumpini is better imo but I heard they will be closing that at some point in the future so worth checking out Ratchadamoen too. I thought 2k was a rip off, even if it was ringside. Tit I guess I think there used to be some fights at mbk too.

  13. Rowyco have you flagged this with anyone yet? Thanks
  14. Yes that's the same experience I'm having. The other 2 sister forums seem to be fine but not this one. The other thing I notice is usually if you go to a tapatalk enabled forum via a browser you will get a pop up to inform the user that the forum is tapatalk enabled but I don't get that either. Will make do with the browser only for now but thought I'd flag it.
  15. No worries. After all that I've just booked at Fraser Suites Soi 11 55555555
  16. Ok. Is it working for anyone on iOS? Rowyco - who can I escalate this to? It appears on iOS the forum is no longer returned in the search results within the app. As you and others have mentioned Android seems to be fine.
  17. What device are you using? And also what Os?
  18. Is anyone still able to access this forum via tapatalk? I recently had to uninstall and reinstall the app and can no longer find this forum in tapatalk.
  19. Hi Skepti, Yes i'm sure. Im not far by MRT but away from Sukh. Personally whilst I like how close Sukh is to the action it's seedy as hell and so I want to try stay elsewhere. I stayed not far from Suthissan once, literally opposite Posidedon but I was with a girl so didn't need to worry about if the hotel was girl friendly or now. I quite like Huay Kwang area, lots of street food stalls and a nice market too in the evenings. THe other place i'm looking at is the Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri Siam. Have dropped them a mail but Ratchada is my preference.
  20. I would like to try stay either by the river or in Ratchada next time but am having trouble trying to find a sutiable hotel (which is GF obviously). Anyone ever stayed in these areas? Essentially I want to not be staying right in the middle of all the nightlife. Leaning towards Ratchada as it's near some soapies which I don't mind. I found 1 site BKK guest friendly hotels but not sure how up to date it is. One they suggested was the Emerald Hotel and on emailing them they confirmed a 500bt charge for a joiner. I've emailed a few others too. The Mini Hotel, Palazzo Bangkok, Hip-Bangkok and Cha Da hotel. Does anyone have any experience with these hotels or others in the area? How about by Riverside or some other areas? Thanks
  21. Maybe just get a resident BM to take you all around rather than one of these groups.
  22. There is a uni there plus some karaoke joints.
  23. I've had karmagra a few times. Usually for emergency if I'm too drunk and it's done the trick. Not even a whole pill, maybe a quarter at a time. Under the same circumstances how does sideagra perform?
  24. Thanks all. I was going to go for Phachara suites but I plan to meet a few non P4P girls so would rather I'm not actually on soi 4. Went for Majestic Grande in the end and got a good dead.
