S15 looks great, might give it a try as well. I do prefer a hotel with a pool. S15 looks promising though with great location. I got a good deal on Agoda at Galleria 10. Deluxe Chill Room, 820 baht/night (maybe its the normal rate?). Only staying 2 nights there though before i go to Pattaya.

Be warned the pool at G10 is essentially a large bath in the rooftop bar area. Good spot for a drink with your belle de jour.

I wasn't sure where to place this thread, so it may get moved to the "Hotel Review" section. Anyhow......
 
A BM here recently asked about the ladyboy guest policies of a BKK hotel. This gave me the idea to email various hotels around lower Sukhumvit inquiring about their guest policies and whether ladyboys are welcome as overnight guests. The hotels I contacted are all within walking distance of Nana Plaza, CIB, Paradise bars as well as other LB venues such as Nuch Salon. I focused on hotels located on the odd number Soi side of Sukhumvit since most guys are already familiar with the policies of the hotels on the even number Soi side such as Marriott, Phachara, Heaven@4, etc.
 
They all received an identical email from me:
 
Hello,
 
Can you tell me what your guest policy is? Can I have a ladyboy guest stay in my room overnight?
 
Thank You,
******* *****
 
The hotels I have received replies from so far are listed in the order they responded, along with their Soi location as well as the per-night price for a standard room. I contacted places ranging from budget hotels on up to higher end properties like the Sofitel and the Westin. The replies are all verbatim. If you need clarification, their email addresses are on their websites. As they respond, I will continue to update here. I will also be emailing other hotels for the purpose of determining what their guest / ladyboy policies are as well.

All I know is if they fly it out of LAX, it's guaranteed to arrive late at its destination even if it flies at the speed of light. 

Agree with Taas and Ropey.
White Temple is spectacular esthetically but hollow spiritually. 
 
Would it be possible to get a taxi straight from the airport to temple and then back to the airport? Yes, half an hour max between Chiang Rai airport and White Temple.
How many hours would i need? 1 Hour taxi + 1 Hour visit max. 
If there are other things that are a must to see or do while in Chiang Rai . Maybe im missing something else?  
1 day you have time to visit the Black Temple : Baan Dam Museum. Unconventional, weird and touristic too.

And then you'll be able to spend some time in Chiang Rai. There was a cats bar, very nice, last time I visited.
 
The Gold Triangle and its opium museums is about 60 kms/1 hour drive away from Chiang Rai.
You can do all that in a day if you are well organized.
Many flights to come back to Bangkok in the evening and go straight to CIB or Why Not for a quiet night with Angels to end this spiritual day in a good note.

Yeah you can do that as you have described. Probably need only 30-45 minutes at the attraction itself, depends how photo trigger happy you are. Imo it's not worth it, from memory it's not even a working temple, just an art exhibit, at the time I went precovid it was a conveyer belt setup of tourist busses unloading and reloading tourists through it - the busiest place in CR by a long shot. The artist who made it has the whole top floor of MOCA in Bkk dedicated to his work, it is interesting and worth a visit too.

All of the North of Thailand is worthy of a visit and time spent, a whistle stop day tour just to see a temple feels a bit rushed. Is there no opportunity in the future where you can take
a proper trip up North as it's worth it. Mongering is best spent in BKK and Pattaya but the North is often where you get to see true Thailand.

That's exactly what happened to me. They gave me an antigen test kit at the airport when I arrived but no instructions on where or how to report the results, therefore I never reported anything. Nobody said a word about it afterward. It's proof that even Thai health officials think the 5 day test is a pointless waste of time. 

I might be in the minority here but I was never asked or told either at the airport or at my hotel when checking in for my Day 1 Test and Go to upload the Morchana app. 
Regardless throughout my trip for my own safety and the safety of others I took a few self administered ATK tests. They are readily available at 7/11 and others Family Mart for 50-100 Bhts.
Luckily for me and for my trip companions none of them came back positive.

The hotel was closed in January and didn't look like it would be opening anytime soon. There was a small restaurant and a clothing store facing soi 10 that were open but otherwise that building was totally dark. 

I am pretty sure if you have no proof of vaccination then you need to do mandatory 10 days (?) in a designated SHA  hotel with their testing requirements.
Get yourself vaccinated is the best advice.

Hotels won't care about you bringing a girl home. Covid or no, their policies will be the same "none of our business" that they've always had. Many of them will ask for the girl's ID and will hold it so they can make sure you're alright and everything is fine before they let her go. Others will just waver her in and out. Depends how upmarket the place is, but that won't have changed.
You won't be in at 11pm and out any time soon this time. Assuming you're coming under some sort of test and go you'll be pretty much confined to your hotel until at least the first day. 
I'd imagine Bangkok and Phuket will be about the same in this regard. The big difference is that gogo-style bars in Phuket are open, and they're technically not in Bangkok.

I made a test and go reservation at Novatel BKK airport hotel for upcoming December trip. Novotel is 5 minutes from the airport. The reservation process itself was just like any other hotel reservation - just make sure you select the "Wellness" package per below. It costs 4900 baht and the breakfast buffet option is another 500 baht. They didn't ask for passport info or anything else except airline arrival time for their shuttle service. They told me they have testing available 24 hours a day and will have results 6 hours later. Because I am arriving near midnight, I will be getting the test and hopefully will have the results when I wake up the next morning. If there are any hitches or hassles, I will be reporting them here. 

 

I think most farangs are using AXA - that is what I used. They were listed on the Thai govt test-and-go site. The bare-bones Covid coverage to meet Thai immigration conditions for 45 days about 2200 or so baht  I also bought my usual Allianz travel insurance because I have always used them and they are easy to deal with if you have a claim for delayed flights or whatever. I know that's probably overkill with the insurance, but why take a chance when I had no experience with AXA. 
Here is where you can buy AXA:

After lots of fucking about I settled on a 2000 baht test at Dr Donna Robinson's clinic. I called to make an appointment but was told to do it online, medconsultbangkok.com
The online booking system won't accept bookings within 24 hrs so I called back. No problem just turn up as a walk in, pretty sure I've read they are doing appointment only but I'm up for trying.
If you do the test before 10am it is results that evening, between 8 & 10 pm
15 mins walk from Phrom Phong BTS and I'm there at 08:40. Bit busy and manic as  a couple of large families are just in front of me but as I'm a walk in there's an online application to make. After that join queue to pay and although it clearly says cards and electronic payments only they are definitely taking cash. By  the time I've paid I'm straight in to get one swab up one nostril and it is done.
So out of there in 20 mins and negative result, which is a good result, in my inbox at 17:15
No fucking about and no extra charge for fit to fly paperwork shit.
Highly recommended.

Like OTS, you can get ED drugs at Foodland or just about any other pharmacy in BKK without a prescription. Just ask for what you want.  FWIW, the pharmacies closest to the P4P action like the kiosk directly across from NEP seem to charge more for the convenience they offer, so you may want to keep that in mind when choosing a place to buy. 
You can also get Kamagra and some other ED medications from the Indian street stalls in a pinch. Some guys don't trust the stalls, but I have bought single gel pacs from them in the past with no issues. Just read and verify the expiration date on the gel pac before you hand over any money. 

Been getting Sidagra from the chemist in Foodland Soi 5 for years. I’ve never needed a prescription
