Maybe so but it’s free and I don’t imagine the mods make a baht giving up their time to give us a space to share our ‘unique’ interests!

I'd definitely look for any alternative to the Landmark, as they are total muppets, or at least think we are. Looking at a quick trip either end of the month or early next. Checked Landmark and saw that they have a "Book 2, Get 1 night FREE" deal for July, which was quite enticing. Selected the dates, selected "Premium Corner Room" @ THB4,733 per night, which is pretty much standard pricing for that room, but a great deal when you're getting a 3rd night free. I hit "Reserve Now" just to check that it's valid and lo and behold, it's a bit of a scam. Night 1 = THB7,100 Night 2 = THB7,100 Night 3 = FREE! So all they've done is total up what they normally charged for three nights (THB4,733 x 3 = THB14,199) and then divide that into two nights. Scumbags.

I'm not sure why one would book through Agoda. I have an upcoming trip and checked both with Agoda and directly with Mercure. For the same setup (Deluxe King, advance payment, no breakfast) Agoda charges $138/night all in, Mercure charges $121.25/night all in. I've almost always found booking directly with the hotel a better deal than through any of the consolidator companies. I've also done the same comparison for another hotel I'm considering (the Samala Hotel on Soi 15) and Agoda is closer to the Samala direct price but still a bit more expensive.

Any reason you don't use an agent? They get their fee from the owner and will find you condos that you might not knew about. Post a message in one of the many fb-groups and be very specific about the following: From which date, rental length (nobody will contact you for less than 12 month rent), budget, sqm, rooms, facilities, old/new, distance to MRT/BTS. The reason for 1y contract: - The owners don't want the hassle of finding new tendents any given month. Many have several condos for rent and are business minded (busy). - The agents gets 1month fee of the 12month rent and that works as a motivation for finding the correct one. Plenty that wants a 50k fee. Sometimes they will share the fee with another agent if that specific agent has the condo you want. If you´re not confortable posting in fb check the many YT videos from agents reviewing condos in the Sukhumvit area and reach out to them. It is free for you anyway. Tip: There is often room to negotiate on price, or add/change things that you want in the condo. A Thai agent will actually be a better negotiater than you most of the time since westerns can be a bit too direct and that's not how Thai culture works.

Which clinic was that you enquired about the lenacapavir. I went to the BHP today for a refill of ARV's and we discussed Lenacapavir, my Dr said it wasn't yet approved in Thailand. I think Cabotegravir is approved though, around 15,000 a jab every 2 months. Lenacapavir when combined with one other drug taken orally is in phase 3 trials for treatment. Once a week and 100% efficacy in phase 2 trials. Will be the go to drug later.

You do have a choice you know. No one is forcing you to use the forum.

What a load of rubbish. I have answered you three times before on two other topics on here when you asked. You were asked for some more info to help you out but you have not provided it. Happy to help out but you keep ignoring the posts so please don't complain you have had no help offered when you have been asked 3 times already and you continually ignore said posts. thanks

Never use the expat sites, they are overpricing things, If you come often and stay like for one month or more, look for a place beyond Ekkamai, prices are half I have a condo in Bangchak area (one station after Onnut) 8 minutes away from Nana with BTS 60m² with pool and gym and I pay 15000/month - there are small ones from 30m² available for 6 months or one year ar prices between 8500 to 10000THB per month https://propertyhub.in.th/en/listings/regent-home-sukhumvit-97-1-fully-furnish-special-price-ask-more-info-lineofficial-promptyou3---3439682 just an example, 8500/month is like 3 hotel night or less in just a decent hotel

Safe Clinic. It might be the same variant of medication you mention but their prices rack up to close to 60,000 baht a year. I've been taking regular oral PreP which is around 2000 baht a month. And can also just use as demand PreP with 2-1-1 adherence which is fine for me as I'm drifting in and out of these activities. Again, I'm not doing BB so it's only as that later for blowjobs with cum in mouth, rimjobs etc. I guess the extra layer gives me the psychological peace.
