I've never had any problems with street food. Touch wood it stays that way. I'm not a big seafood fan so maybe that helps. Can't help but think how long all those cockles and other sea foods have been lying out.

Aside from the naughty kind I love getting a Thai or foot massage during the day after a long session laying out on the beach. With Thai massages I've found these are usually in a booth but with the foot massages I've found these are in a room with a bunch of others. I don't really mind this format as I'm not planning on getting naughty and I can also shoot the shit with my a fellow monger.

Cancelled my booking at Grande Centre point. Decided to move to somewhere closer to Nana so trying to decide where to go. My range is in the 2-3.5k per night. Which would you choose between Phachara suites or Majestic Grande? Also considering soi 11 so maybe President Palace. I stayed at Amari on soi 2 a few years ago. Think that's now called Lohas suites. Anyone know if they are still girl friendly? I liked the rooms there but it was a bit of a walk up soi 2.

Not sure about T21 but you can find plenty of that stuff on soi Arab. Walk towards Nana.

I'm going to bubble wrap the box just in case. 555

Thanks

I would ask in the northern Thailand section over on Thai visa.

Whilst we are talking booze I've promised a bar boss I would bring him back a bottle of tequila. I've checked online and couldn't find any decent tequila listed on the airport website. (I need anejo) If I box it up and wrap it in bubble wrap will I be ok to put it in my checked luggage?

I've booked 9 days at grande centre point t21. My booking is a bit disjointed though. I have first 2 nights booked as individual via agoda in a deluxe room then 7 nights in a superior. Basically i rejigged my stay and waan able to extend the main booking through agoda so had to make a separate booking. Do you think they will let me upgrade my 7 night stay to deluxe and stay in same room throughout?

Don't worry guys. This tech will help stop criminals and other unsavoury sorts getting into the country.

Let's say he sells a few of them and another chap opens up who doesn't follow the same model. That's surely a good thing no?

This probably isn't the right thread for this but I read in today's stickman article that 2 of the Arabs bars may be soon up for sale. If that's true then so much for him buying up the whole soi and redeveloping.

Tapatalk seems to crash if I try to edit the above. Anyway the other pics are the hell garden at wat muang, Buddhamonthon park and the giant Ganesh. Wat pai rong wua is also pretty cool, tonnes of really big Buddha statues.

1) Visit Wat Muang in Ang Thong 2) Visit Buddhamonthon park in Nakhon Pathom 3) Visit a hell garden. Some ones close to Bangkok include wat muang, wat pai rong wua and wang saen suk. 4) Have dinner by the river at Asiatique 5) Gorge on street food one night on sukhumvit 38 5) Visit the corrections museum at mahachai 6) See the giant Ganesh at Chachoengsao 7) Watch Thai boxing at either lumpini or Ratchadamoen 8) spend an evening at Yaowarat 9) spend an evening on Silom soi 4 (lol) 10) Have a meal at boat noodle alley near Victory monument. Wat muang

I really don't think they will go after the bars and gogos in full. Beer bars are just girls in a bar drinking which you can join in with right? They are not hurting anyone. Street walkers on the other hand are different and stick out like a sore thumb. I reckon by prostitution he is only referring to street walkers. Imagine how many characters they would upset if they shut down all the beer bars and gogos.

Do you think they will get rid of the whole scene or just clear the streets? I would still come anyway even if they did clear the whole scene but it would make it a bit harder to get girls haha

Jumping to conclusions perhaps. The beach umbrella and deck chair tidy up in Phuket was a good thing. And from the sounds of it they want to tackle street hookers. I didn't read anything about them wanting to shut down beer bars or gogos. Besides they are just bars to go have a drink. Anything which goes on is between the guy and girl right? 555

Thanks looking at it now. Any suggestions on which restaurant to eat at? I'm leaning towards the Bangkok balcony grill and buffet. :-)

Think I better check it out then. Do you have to book in advance? On their website yes? Thenks

Never been there. Is baiyoke worth a visit? Better to go there for dinner instead of just a daytime visit?

I've only been to ko dang talay and baan khanitha, both of which I enjoyed and would recommend.

Been there a few times. They have a nice market as well so you can spend a good few hours there shopping and then sit down for a nice meal.

Ok thanks. I don't understand why that Soi Thanya is japs only. Surely they would make more money if they let anyone go there? The japs use cowboy and nana so farangs should be allowed to use the thanya joints. What can I expect if I just walk down the street?

Excellent pics. Are you allowed to take pics in some of the gogos there or was that just a a special arrangement for you?

Good stuff thanks
