  1. Anyone know the best way (without getting ripped-off) to travel from the airport to The Lux Riverside Hotel and about how much it would cost ?
  2. Jasmine City ?? I stay there and have never had the staff ask the girl for ID. Just walk with the girl past the check-in desk and straight to the elevators . Don't let the girl stop and ask the staff if they want her ID.
  3. Here's an experience I had at Bumrungrad- I fell and broke my wrist. It hurt like hell ! Went to see a surgeon at Bumrungrad. He took xrays and showed me what had to be done. It was a complicated fracture and surgery was needed. I have no insurance here in Thailand so I had to pay up front before I was admitted. The total bill for the complete surgery, one night in a private room, all medications and follow up care came out to be a little over $7,100.00 USD or around 250,000 THB. The next day during discharge they gave me money back ! Said the bill was less than what they estimated ! I could not believe it !
  4. I've been here for 9 years and have been going to Bumrungrad. Maybe a little expensive for some folks but how much is your health worth to yourself. Had everything from the flu to surgery treated there.
  5. Racshack, I know what you mean about roaches (Palmetto Bugs , LOL ! ) . I'm from Central Fla. Been staying at Jasmine Hotel/Suites on corner of Sukhumvit and Soi23 6 months out of the year for about 8 years now. Never saw a roach or any other kind of bug there. I know they spray once a month, because I'm there. Great location ! Never need to spend the extra to stay at Landmark or Marriott. I fly bis class also. Hope this helps.
  6. Buses run about every 30 minutes between BKK (Eckamai) and Pattaya and vis versa. Trip takes about 2 hours.
  7. Correct ! Additionally, make sure you have at least 6 months validity on your passport.
  8. Just Google "girl friendly hotels bangkok" to get a list.
  9. Greetings All, Anyone know if this jazz club is open and still on Soi 33 ? Thanks
  10. I've been using DTAC for about 2 years now. 220 baht/month unlimited internet.
  11. There are a number of small farang type bars around the Pullman. Some quantity of ladies but not much quality. Down the street from the Pullman are a number of Thai bars. If you speak some Thai, I think that would be the place to go as the Thai girls were younger and more attractive. The Pullman is one of my favorite hotels. Clean,quiet,comfortable and I was never asked for a joiner fee. Also if you like Italian food there is a good small Italian restaurant around the corner next to the Pullman. With all that said, I wouldn't travel to KK just for mongering. Right here in BKK or down in Pattaya is much better. Good luck and have fun !
  12. I stayed in the "long stay" apartments for two consecutive years ('10 & '11), had girls spend the night many times. Never got charged any joiner fees. The desk staff would look when I came in with a girl but no one ever said anything. The manager ( an Indian guy) saw me a few times with a girl but nothing was ever said. Never stayed in the hotel rooms.
  13. I'm going down to Pattaya next week for a few days. Anyone have any hotel recommendations ? I prefer clean and quiet enough to sleep at night. Medium to high price OK (just going for two nights). And would like to be in central part of town. Doesn't have to be on the beach. Thanks !
  14. I've never had a problem accessing this site.
  15. True Move (Terminal 21, 6th floor) had a promotion for 320 baht plus 49 baht sim card. Not sure if it's still available.
  16. I think you might have to have a Thai Retirement Visa to open a bank account, but not exactly sure. I had to show a retirement visa 4 years ago when I opened my account with Kasikorn Bank.
  17. Could you have just said that you didn't have enough for the bill of 4400 baht and given them a credit card (without an ATM option) and even sweetened the pot by say throwing in another 1000 baht ? Then when your away from the area just call the fraud protection dept of your banks' credit card and tell them to not issue payment. A few years ago on a business trip to Madrid this happened to me and I notified the bank who stopped payment.
  18. Kimao, Do you buy the AIS 1,2 call prepaid sim card at 7-11 ?

    Wow !! I think very expensive. Two years ago while still living in the US I applied and received a Non-Immigrant O-A Visa with multiple entry stamp from the Thai Embassy in Washington, DC. I believe the total it cost me was about $175.00 and that included the Fed-Ex charge of shipping both ways back to me in Fla. Just go on the Thai Embassy web-site. There's some paperwork involved, some running around to get all the requested documents but it's easy and you'll have your 1 year visa with multiple entry stamp in a couple of weeks. Then you can renew in a year here in Thailand.
  20. Both of these links are the same ??? But yes, this is the Park Plaza Hotel I was referring to on soi 21.
