    I am looking for a way to change my email address on Agoda.com Under my profile setting the only thing I can change is my name. I cannot find a way to change my email address or phone number. The email address and phone are OK but I'd rather use a non Google email account.

    Also, I could not find a way to ask customer support how to do this. Looks like everything is automated without any artificial intelligence. hahaha

    Any suggestions?

    Last time I was in Chiang Rai 3 of us went to the White Temple, Blue Temple and Baan Dam Museum in about 6-7 hours time including a quick lunch. I was driving a rental car and was staying in a village outside of CR. 

    You might search for a tour company that has drivers that will pick you up at the airport and drop you off when finished that you can book ahead of time. They might also give you a good idea of how much time this would take.

    The North is certainly beautiful but this time of year the air pollution can be horrible. After Songkran is best but who knows. In May the rains come and clean the air. This year the air pollution has been minimal but I don't expect it to last. Today the readings are in the Red Zone. That is 150 to 200 aqi. See the chart.

    I need to add and a lot of lbs waiting on the street. A few right outside on the front too. 

    What times were they outside the hotel?

    I assumed it was closed. But just wanted to verify. It seems a good time to travel around Thailand and I really don't have much else to do.

    It would not surprise to see a hotel taking reservations through Agoda or others when they are actually closed. 

    Thanks for the info.

    The other day I tried to book a room at Paradiso on Soi 10 near Check In Bar on Agoda. There are no rooms available on several dates. Have they closed??

     

    Are they remodeling? If so I hope they fix the elevator. Mardhi and I got stuck in that elevator on the same day at different times.

    Thanks Kendo for your explanation!

    However I didn't mean the rep points but what it says in the green "community reputation" field.

    Just as an example: This is a copy of OTS' community reputation field:

    Wasn't it something like excellent or very good or something like that before? Same for some other BMs - including you and I. Or am I completely wrong??? emoji770.png

     

     

     

     

    You mean I have a reputation here? oh..let's not go there

    I do Imodium as well. Another Thai medicine for bad stomach / shits is activated charcoal. It absorbs anything it can in the stomach. Many hospitals use this with poison cases. Obviously you don't want to take 5 mins after your high blood pressure medicine.

    As has been stated diarrhea is nothing to mess with. When I use Imodium I am also preparing to see a doctor if I do not get immediate relief.

    If you have "other" friends on your Line account you can share the contact with your "other" friend. The "other" friend receives the link from your Line account. The "other" friend can then let you know the details.

    This is the only way  you can find out the Line ID of a friend if they are not already in your phones' contact list.

    I hope this helps.

     

    Where do you find 'other'. I have searched my app but do not find it so I must not have it.

    You would get better response if you posted on https://www.reddit.com/r/Bangkok or Thaivisa Forum. (God help you if you have to post on ThaiVisa) reddit is generally a younger crowd. I suggest this because Bangkok is very big and to narrow down a hospital for you would require knowing what hospitals are in your location. You don't want to go to Bumrungrad if you are in Bang Na area.

    I did go to a hospital here once for something and they said they could not treat it and referred me to another hospital in the area. As has been mentioned clinics are everywhere and check with pharmacies as often times the chemist will suggest something and fix you right up.

    Most any hospital can do it. No need to go to Bumrungrad or the expensive ones. Be careful with testosterone replacement therapy as I did it for 1.5 years under a doctors care and some of my more recent health problems may well have been related to replacement therapy. My levels were 30% lower than my age range should be and the therapy increased my levels to normal for my age range.

    When I first read about this a few months back I tried to remember if the gov't asked for passports when topping up your cell phone if you had not had to show your passport to get one. All of my cell phone sims I ever got I had to show a passport from 2014 onwards. I suppose it is intrusive but I think my country does the same thing. I don't think I can get a train or bus pass in the USA without some sort of ID, though I can get on a bus or a train and pay the fare cash without ID. Same as here.  As we move to a cashless society.........

    Next time I'm in BKK I'll top up my card and if asked I'll show them my Thai drivers license and see if that works. It probably will as the license has my passport # on it.

    I think one might follow OTS, davvid and other BMs approaches. That has been to develop relationships over time. Many of the BMs here keep continuous contact with the people they meet here. On their next trip they are sure to stop in and say hello ... even if just for a dinner and not a bar fine. Part of the success many of the BMs have is because they are interested in the girl for reasons other than sex. Get to know a few girls who will take you where the action is. Then one the next trip visit that place by yourself and see if it works.

    Pretty soon you'll be invited to a night of Mo Lam.. then you'll know you are in.

    I'm not sure how the tourist sims work but regular sim accounts will stay active for a year if there is even a few baht in the account. You might try logging in to the dtac website and see if it is still active or if you know someone in Thailand who can top it up for you either online or at 7-11 that would work. dtac website is dtac.co.th
