    AIRA Bangkok Hotel

    adslv replied to Bwana_LB's topic in Hotel Reviews

    In September, after 7 long years, I'll finally be returing to Bangkok and have booked a room at Aira, pricing seems to be very good for the quality, if the reviews on Google, Tripadvisor and Booking are to be believed. I've sent an email to the hotel to ask about their current guest policy. They are guest friendly, including for ladyboys with no joiner fees. Should also extend to multiple guests. They do mention that the ID of any guests will be checked at the reception for security.

    Not the cheapest indeed but food is excellent and no farangs on udom suk. So price is based on Thai middle class Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S901B met Tapatalk

    Ah! Thank you for the trouble. There’s one at the central embassy. good reviews too, although prices appear to be higher than average. I certainly would like to try that one out. thank you again.

    you forgot the name? That’s nice. any chance it could be ‘Authentic Thai food & curry‘ (it may be a poor translation from Thai) restaurant?

    It is one of the best There is another very good one on udom suk Forgot the name but it is there since 1967 Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S901B met Tapatalk

    You should. It is a worthwhile wait. the other consideration is to try and get their Line contact. It is readily available on their social media posts. I started bugging them for reservations 2 months before I left for Bangkok and they finally gave in. before this it was usually ordering through Grabfood. dan

    Thanks for this review. I walked there from Elkamai BTS once, but the queue was so long I didn’t bother waiting. Will have to try again some time as it has great reviews.

    Herehai is a small restaurant, about 25 minutes from Thong Lor BTS station. The food and service was excellent. We had the crab omelette, tom yum prawns, mantis shrimp, and the crab fried rice. Each dish was a feast for the senses. If I return, I would order the same dishes. Service was excellent without being intrusive. Best of all was that the total came to only 2000B, which is inexpensive. The only issue is the wait times as the restaurant is very small so the lines are long. but if you love Thai food this is really a must visit. This is on par with Jay Fai. Dan

    Maitria is close to both the MRT & BTS stations, roughly 650m, so this is always a good thing and it is something I always lookout for. The walk to trains is comfortable and fast. I have been with Adelphi Grande for the past 7 years (roughly 2 visits a year) and have been comfortable with them. Unfortunately, staff turnover is very high so that’s a negative. Before that it was Parchara Suites on soi 6 (now Parkroyal). The people at Maitria are good. Well most of them. Housekeeping is spot on, and this is very high on my list. I never fail to see housekeeping, already cleaning rooms when I leave at 930am. Breakfast was a little sparse (although coffee was good), but I guess that is to be expected at this price point. There is a small laundrette in the basement, which is a useful feature to have. The room layout is awkward, and furniture placement makes it very difficult to move around and be comfortable. So this was a negative for me. Not something I’d care to repeat. The bed was spectacular, one of the better features in the room but I just wished the WiFi connection was better. I booked the studio grand deluxe, 2,600B nett per day, with breakfast. I had planned. 2 week stay with them but I came down with Bronchitis while on a food binge in Yaowarat on the 2nd day. Doctors on the 3rd day, and I got a flight back home on the 4th day. All my plans, down the drain!!! Ah! Well. Dan

    DOXY pep & PrEP together?

    Knobby replied to Knobby's topic in Health Issues

    Yes, I read the same things about both. Doxy seems to have more possible side effects and says no alcohol when taking Doxy. I am no big drinker but do like a drink or three at the weekends. Now while alcohol can effect any medication Doxy seems to have a few I don't like the sound of. When I get to my Dean St appointment I will ask their advice.

    DOXY pep & PrEP together?

    Gambino replied to Knobby's topic in Health Issues

    @Knobby Amoxicillin is not bacteriostatic (but doxycycline is). Doxycycline prevents the growth of the bacteria. Amoxicillin just kills bacteria directly, which could work if you actually came down with a case of an STD, but it would not be effective as a prophylaxis, which is what DoxyPEP is. And don't worry about finding doxycycline easily; it is in any pharmacy in Thailand and it's incredibly inexpensive.

    DOXY pep & PrEP together?

    Knobby replied to Knobby's topic in Health Issues

    I was doing some quick research on Doxy and looking at the possible side effects. Seems to me amoxicillin would do a decent job on its own and it's easier to get in nearly any pharmacy in Thailand. I do have an appointment at Dean St clinic in London before my next trip so while getting my usual tests done and PrEP I will see what they say about this.

    @Unavowed Nice one! Thanks for sharing your thoughts in Grand Hyatt. I used to stay there (been maybe 5 years since last time). It is definitely a Grand hotel and only 1 stop on the BTS down to Nana so not too far from the action.

    Many thanks! Yes - I have clearly felt that.

    Jessy Oral Jelly

    LadyboyObsession posted a topic in Health Issues

    So I was browsing Lazada for Kamagra and came across a dietary supplement called Jessy Jelly. I translated the page and apparently it seems to be able to help with erections and performance in bed, ect. I tried to google it for more information but couldn't find anything. Google just shows more links to Lazada, Shopee, and other website to buy the product. But I couldn't find any official website on it, or any website at all that talks about it. I want to know if it's an authentic medically approved supplement, or just something fake that cannot be trusted. Has anybody ever tried it or know anything about it? I'll link the Lazada page below.

    Just a follow up on this topic. I stayed here for 6 nights in March. One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Service was top class, as in genuine 5 Star hotel responsiveness and attention to detail you would expect in a European 5 star hotel. Rooms were great, big and good layout and facilities excellent. Quality gym and really nice pool area. The basement has a very nice wine bar, bakery and mid range Thai restaurant too. The Gaysorn Centre and Central world are across the road and Chit Lon station a few minutes away. As you would expect it’s not cheap, but a good option if you want a place to hang out and relax in comfort for a few days. I didn’t bring anyone back, but it wouldn’t have been any issue if I had. I would definitely stay again but would be looking at off-season rates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
