Booked Citrus 13, apparently you want the premier corner room for the large bedside mirror they messaged me. Does anyone know any other hotels with big bedside mirrors?

I have brought back an 18 year old girl pre-Covid to Majestic Suites with no problem. However police found Nana Plaza had girls as young as 14 years working in one of the gogo bars there. Bars that were caught with underage employees were shutdown and the mamasan arrested. The short-time hotel rooms in Nana Plaza had to check the girls ID for their age from then on and record them in their log book failing which, the hotel will be suspended or shut down. I guess the practice was then enforced to all hotels in Thailand or at least Bangkok and Pattaya. Post-covid I have found some hotels do check and retain ID (Aspen Suites) and some do not (Hopeland Hotel). It all depends on the hotel you stay in. Going back to your question, the girls should at least be 18 years old if you want to bring back to the hotel but it also depends on the hotel's policy as what ARI23 mentioned in his example.

Some hotels won't accept a guest under 20 year old. Example : Adelphi hotel in Pattaya.
-
Ok thank you for the answer. But is a civilian 19 year old considered underage by the authorities in this situation?

When the ID is kept by the reception one of the staff will later enter the details of the ID in a log book. Name, time and date, BIRTHDAY and which room she visited. So if the authorities do a spot check on the hotel they will check for underage women who had visited the hotel with a guest. The hotel probably gave back the ID to the lady because they do not want to get into trouble if they are holding on to her ID if the authorities make a surprise check.
-
Obviously because hotels don't want teenagers cavorting with adults in their rooms, regardless of whether it's p4p or not. I would do the same if were them. Wouldn't you?

Can somebody update me on this, why do the hotels enforce an above 20/21 year old rule for guests? Is it just for when the guest is a working girl and not a civilian? I remember bringing a girl (civilian) I was on a date with to my hotel last trip and I had her show her ID at the reception because there were signs everywhere saying that all "guests" have to show ID at reception. The girl was 19 years old at the time and instead of keeping the ID the reception just smiled and handed it back to her while they kept the ID overnight of another girl (also civilian) I brought back to my hotel but who was 27 years old. I am planning on meeting the first girl again in 3 months and who will now be 20 years old, will this be a problem?

Used to be my default hotel in BKK up until Covid. Since then I've found the prices have gone a lot higher and I prefer Citrus Suites / ParkRoyal Suites on Soi 6. They're comparable in quality and while Soi 8 is closer to the BTS, the extra cost of Adelphi means I'm happy to have an additonal 4 minute walk. Personally, I think Adelphi is overpriced, but it's often fully booked out, so I'm obviously in a minority.

I stayed at the Adelphi Suites on Soi 8 for most of my recent visit (with a few nights in the Ambassador and Mercure on Soi 11) and thought I should do a quick review. I had a room on the fifth floor at the front of the building. It's pretty big with a comfortable bed and a work area plus a small sofa. Loads of storage space. The bathroom is a decent size too. The only down sides for me was the lack of consistent hot water and sometimes noise from the small bar across the street (one night a couple of guys were there drinking until around 6am). Luckily I always pack ear plugs. The front desk staff were always helpful including one time where the battery on my door swipe failed and the maintenance guy fixed it in less than 15-minutes. The cleaning was always good and usually done mid-morning to early afternoon. If you felt lazy there's a restaurant and bar downstairs and I only had breakfast there one time - all pretty standard. I did see a FL LB sat at the bar for several mid-week evenings. I guess she started there before heading to Soi 4? I paid roughly AUD $150/night, so cheaper than the Mercure on Soi 11 and a step up from the Ambassador. No issue bringing back guests either :-) Definitely a good option in a very convenient location at a decent price.

I'm flying into Don Mueang mid september on a Friday evening (flying in from MY). What kind of wait times at imigration can I expect? When I flew into DMK seven years ago, I used the Bangkok Limo fast track service which got me through super quick, while there were considerable lines through the normal queues, so I can always book with them if long wait times are to be expected.

This is the visa that I am going to get next (I have to wait to be back in the US to apply, because you cannot apply from within Thailand). 5 years multi-entry, 6 month stamp per entry, with the choice to either then leave and re-enter, or extend for another 6 months for 1,900฿.
-
I'll be doing similarly from October this year. Currently undecided as to whether that will be in Bangkok or Chiang Mai yet as my GF has a job contract offer for CM and it could be an interesting change for a while.

The new 'Destination Thailand Visa' is tempting me to move to Thailand. (while my new house in NZ becomes an investment property and I can rent it out). The only thing is I need is to find an employer that will let me work remotely from Thailand. (my current employer would not be open to me working remotely from Thailand). I know a previous employer of mine (working in software) with whom I had a positive working relationship has employees working in the Philippines working at their timezone (they don't need to work NZ/AUS hours) so I'm so tempted to reach out for a role but see if they'll allow to work from Thailand. The video will explain some of the concerns around the VISA if anyone is interested to watch and has been thinking about making the move as well.

Return flight needed to enter Thailand
CanadaVisitor replied to bazza60's topic in Transport and Travel
I'm probably going to do a Visa run by land. (Aprx 8 hours from Bangkok to the Cambodian border and back). Last time I checked immigration requires onward air travel booking and they didn't accept land tours or a booking on a speed boat (from Phuket to Malaysia for example) -
Return flight needed to enter Thailand
CanadaVisitor replied to bazza60's topic in Transport and Travel
Thanks @oliver17, but I haven't had to fill out any arrival forms for a few trips now. Usually immigration just asks to see your passport and boarding pass. Get your fingerprints taken and maybe a question or two..."How many days are you here for?" "Where will you be staying?" Etc. Yeah, maybe I'll just book something that is either super cheap or refundable that departs before my 60 days are up -
Return flight needed to enter Thailand
Denbosch1971 replied to bazza60's topic in Transport and Travel
I've never been asked about my return flight. But since you're planning to do visa-run anyhow, why not book the first on already before entering LoS. When asked, you can show them this one! -
I have entered before on a one-way ticket and wasn't asked anything. But i had a onward ticket if needed. The immigration officer may ask, but it is more likely being asked by your airline when you are checking in for your flight. They can ask for proof of onward travel and deny boarding because ultimately if you run into trouble entering Thailand they will be responsible for bringing you back.
-
Thai immigration cards have a date of departure field that you are required to fill out, so you will have to come up with a stated departure date to enter the country. Out of curiosity, I just looked at google flights for a one way to ticket BKK to Vientiane on Sept. 20 and it was only $53 (Air Asia). I agree that's money tossed down the rathole, but at least you will be covered in case they do ask for a departure ticket at immigration.
