    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.
    Not the cheapest indeed but food is excellent and no farangs on udom suk. So price is based on Thai middle class

    Well I'm not sure why the secrecy about how you're going to do it but would be interested to know if you've found some trick to beat the system lol.
    But the best option IMO, more so than the $10 24 hour ticket sites is just to book a legit ticket on a higher fare class which is fully refundable. I booked one with Emirates last year to get a visa at a local consulate then just cancelled and got a full refund after the visa was issued. 
    This is how I do it also
    Works best with Emirates

    It's the tropics so a white dinner jacket is acceptable but remember you are representing the highest form of gentleman traveller so never white pants under any circumstance.

    A white jeans with a linen shirt, and a petrol blue linen jacket, and dark blue sebago docksides, is more than acceptable, (no socks of course) :)

    Don't know how many days a year you are spending in bkk on average? I managed to cut a deal with a fixed rate of 2780thb all year long with exception of the week from 23rd till 1st of Jan
    Bf and lounge included.
    I am spending average 30-40 nights a year in bkk

    Your other alternative is just to use a laundry that washes by the kilo. You can usually get your clothes pressed too. Last time I stayed at Mercure on Soi 11 I used the laundry in the lane opposite, just before Cindy’s. Cheap and rest the next day.

    Banging the shit out an LB in a jacuzzi at the Barracuda in pattaya last year. Absolutely fantastic, great feeling and sipping champagne as I went in and out of her arsehole. Great little hardbody 
     
    THEN oops, I saw the condom floating around in the bath….
     
    No wonder it felt so good  
    2019 had a short 3 day trip with Boy to pattaya to celebrate our birthdays. Also had the jacuzzi room. Must say we did spent a couple of hours in there Great fun

    Excellent review and now thinking of changing up my plans. Quick question : a parking garage is mentioned, as I fall into the shy monger category, can one skip the whole reception and enter via the garage ?
    No need you can take the elevator without going via garage anyway not possible as parking is on higher floors

    I have also used Bangkok Airport Limo in the past. There really isn't much difference in price, but only AOT has kiosks at the airport. BAL has greeters who escort you to the car which works just as well. I use BAL for trips to Hua Hin and Pattaya and they have never let me down. 
    AOT has several kiosks in the main terminal after you emerge from baggage claim. They used to also have kiosks on the concourses between the gates and immigration, but I don't recall seeing any concourse kiosks on my last trip. 
    Speaking of BKK airport, let's all celebrate the rebound of tourism in LOS.  It's hard to beat the thrill of going thru immigration

    Arrived last Friday no queue
    Aot kiosks are inside the baggage arrival hall now

    AOT has vans and SUVs. From BKK to lower Sukhumvit area is 1K baht for the Isuzu and 1.3K baht for the Mercedes van.
    Yes, I know AOT is pricier than taxis but it's more than worth it because you can avoid the taxi queue, communicating with drivers who can't speak English, etc

    Prices still valid and I agree with O17
    Especially you get a decent drive after a long flight. And you can arrange the cab while you wit for the luggage pay with credit car so no need to pay the extortion exchange rate at the airport either.

    Yeah. On the flipside, I could have got a much cheaper one with some obscure airline such as Indigo for a lot less, but who knows, you might get stuck in Mumbai for 3 days.
    My flight is with ITA to Frankfurt and Thai to BKK. Booked that one because I might have had to cart a lot of luggage with me and they have a good luggage allowance, but that seems unlikely now thank goodness.
    Been flyi.g a lot with indigo in India and they are quite reliable and cheap as long as you gofor basic
    You will pay extra for everything like luggage. Food legroom etc...
