    Affordable and good pharmacy

    Any new recommendations on pharmacies that are affordable and carry quality drugs. Looking to get prep and some cialis equivalents. i always get my stuff from Charoen ‘Chinese’ pharmacy in between sukhumvit soi 4 and 2 but if there are better options, I am all ears.

    Affordable and good pharmacy

    Thanks Bwana, I remember this spot now! I'll definitely go there.
  6. Is this still happening in Patpong? From what Ive been reading about Patpong, it's pretty dead these days and all boarded up. As well, are there any other interesting shows worth checking out while in BKK.
  7. I typically always stay at the citrus suites on soi 6… a couple years ago I ventured out to the Adelphi Suites on soi 8… and though it’s a nice hotel, the rooms felt dark… there was a bit of a walk past Monsoon and the hallway to the elevator… came across lots of families that were eyeballing my LB guests lol I am considering staying at the ParkRoyal suites (previously Phacharra)… but not sure if I wanna change things up… I like big rooms, easy access to elevator from front door, less family oriented hotel, breakfast bufffet. anyome stayed at both spots? And can share their opinion on which they preferred and why? Thx

    Super Pussy Ping Pong Show

    hahaha yes, so true about soi cowboy... my buddy and I walked into one of the go-go bars in december 2023... forgot which one, it was about halfway down. I told him to take it easy and only buy one girl one drink and of course he got overwhelmed, every girl in the bar asked him for a drink and he obliged... it was his first time in LOS - he got raided by the girls, they got naked, they pull down his pants, lots of groping and within 15 mins his tab came out to 25K baht... I actually had to step in and save him. It was like piranhas on a piece of meat. As soon as I said no more drinks, they disappeared and were outside looking for another sucker lol... And of course, he didn't have the cash on him at the time, so I had to cover it lol... afterwards, he told me the experience was worth every penny lol... but the lesson was learned and when we were either in walking street - Pats, or nana, he was measured and collected... he learned to say NO.... hahaha

    Citrus Suites or ParkRoyal Suites - both on soi 6

    i booked the usual one bedroom exec suite at citrus suites 6 for 9 days directly via their website as it allowed me to cancel up to the day before my arrival, the booking sites upcharged for cancellation options. total cost with all taxes came out to 36K baht - 4K per night... in USD, that's $117.... and yes last year it was about $85.

    Washer/dryer in room

    Last time I was in BKK, I stayed at the Adelphi Suites. My room had a washer/dryer machine that I used quite regularly. It was an awesome benefit of the Adelphi. Now, I'd like to know if there are other hotel rooms that you're aware of with washing machines in the room? I think the Phachara Suites rooms have washer/dryers machines... any others?
  12. Any recommendations for a vaccine clinic? So far, I am aware of: Pulse Clinic Dr. Donna Any others? Thanks!
  13. With the prevalence and availability of oral STD kits (via eBay and the like), particularly HIV 1/2, would you ask a potential ST/LT LB partner to take an oral swab test prior to doing the deed? I think it's the ultimate douche bag move but could this become standard operating procedure in the future? Yeah, I know it's a fucked up question but just trying gauge opinions.
  14. Not trying to be party pooper but hoping to pass on important information so that everyone can protect themselves: HPV is one of the most common STDs, see here: http://www.ashasexualhealth.org/stdsstis/hpv/fast-facts/ The vaccine is now approved for individuals 27 to 45 years old in the USA. Prior to this approval, it was recommended simply to adolescent girls and the vaccine was a key factor in preventing cancers related to HPV. See below. Excerpt: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved a supplemental application for Gardasil 9 (Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant) expanding the approved use of the vaccine to include women and men aged 27 through 45 years. Gardasil 9 prevents certain cancers and diseases caused by the nine HPV types covered by the vaccine. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-expanded-use-gardasil-9-include-individuals-27-through-45-years-old
  15. Maybe next time I am in LOS, I'll bring some with me and see how it's received by the LBs. I am sure I'll need to sweeten the pot with a tip for going through with the test but still worth experimenting and reporting back.

    Vaccination clinic recommendations

    Now that's what I call an organic rodent exterminator lol
  17. Does anyone know of any pharmacies where I can get a month’s supply of Truvada? I know I can get it from the Red Cross Anonymous Clinic and Pulse clinic but I don’t want to go through their whole testing process before being given a prescription. Thanks.
  18. Hello Gents, It’s been a while but it’s that time again where I must get my mongering on! In past trips, I’ve stayed at the majestic suites and the majestic grande... but I am feeling it’s time for a change. I am down to 2 options: dynasty grande or phachara suites Out of these two, which would you recommend? My main concern is being able to bring up 1 to 2 guests at a time. Are there any joiner fees beyond a single guest? Thought I saw something about that for Phachara? And does dynasty grande have a 1 hour time limit for guests? And which of these hotels is cleaner and provides better WiFi? Thanks in advance!
  19. Are there any prohibitions on traveling with condoms, sex toys, etc. in LOS. In particular, when flying in from another country. These items would be for personal use.
  20. Just booked the Dynasty Grande via Agoda for mid-Feb and noticed a check box for Mozio ground transportation from Suvarnabhumi to DG for $11 USD. I ticked it and paid for it. Has anyone else tried Mozio from the airport to their hotel while in BKK? I typically take a taxi but last time I was in town, the lines were huge and it took me almost 90 minutes to get one. So I am looking at alternative modes of transportation...

    Pharmacy that sells Truvada in the lower Sukhumvit area

    Yes I agree on all your points and yes I do regular tests back home. And yes, I may just go into pulse or the Red Cross this week to get some more tests done as it never hurts. Here’s my reasoning for getting Prep in LOS: My concern is the cost of Truvada back home is upwards of a few thousand USD per month. Thus requiring the use of medical insurance and thereby piercing the veil of anonymity. The implication here is that on some levels this could affect access to medical insurance in the USA. One’s HR department finding about the use of Truvada due to high medical costs paid out by your employer. Less likely but definitely possible. And having a supposed pre existing condition or being in high risk group makes you less desirable and potentially a liability in the eyes of health insurance companies in the USA. This could affect career opportunities. In an age of record keeping, I’d prefer keeping a level of anonymity. Hence why I prefer getting some Prep/truvada/it’s equivalent from LOS seeing that I will only use it for a short period of time. Starting a few days prior to my trip to wherever I am mongering, during the trip and for several days after the trip.

    Pharmacy that sells Truvada in the lower Sukhumvit area

    I’ll answer my own post. Been researching the availability of truvada in LOS and there’s some really good things that I came across in the fight to prevent HIV. Firstly, Truvada is owned by Gilead Sciences. They own a monopoly over the Prep anti viral drug. In first class countries, they’re the sole providers and creators of Truvada. In LOS, India, elsewhere that is developing there are quite a few generic versions. Out of the goodness of their heart, Gilead does not pursue the generic versions for patent infringement. In LOS, Truvada can be found be is upwards of 20,000 baht per month for 30 pills. The generic versions are identical in compounds/ingredients and range anywhere from 600 baht to 1,500 baht per month. Ricovir-Em is one such generic version created in India by the largest drug manufacturer in the world. Teno-Em is a generic version that is created under the guidance of the Thai govt. easily available for 600 baht for the Thai masses. There are a couple more as well. Thailand has committed lots of money and research towards protecting its citizen against HIV. The easiest way to access these drugs is to go to the Thai Red Cross Anonymous Clinic - close to Lumphimini Park. I also canvassed many pharmacies in the lower Sukhumvit area and the majority don’t have Teno-em or Ricovir-em in stock but can order it and receive it with 24 hrs. That’s how I got myself some Teno-em.

    Citrus Suites Sukumvit Soi 6

    If I get a moment, I’ll see if I can check out the DG rooms and see if the latest renovations improved any of the rooms. By the way, if you’re concerned about having to escort your guest up to your room due to the elevator key card access. I can say that I just witnessed an LB going up to her customer’s room and the hotel staff let her into the elevator.

    Citrus Suites Sukumvit Soi 6

    Hey Thanks. I didn’t clear cookies/cache/history on my desktop browser. But on my phone I typically private browse and I believe that clears everything when I close the app. So the other interesting piece to this is that I was quoted 25,400 baht by the reservation folks from the hotel. My own desktop browser quote from the Citrus site was 24,500 baht. A 900 baht difference and then on my mobile device my total for 7 days was 19500 Baht, inclusive of taxes and all, plus breakfast for 2, plus 100 baht voucher. So on average that’s 2,786 Baht per night or $93 USD. By the way, suite I booked was the premier executive suite that’s 52 sq. m. It’s huge. There’s also the MEMBER discount code you can use for an additional 10% off.
