Their desks are right in front of you as you exit immigration.  The queues move quickly - just hand them your phone, passport and the cash you want to spend.

Great recommendations above from the guys! Just to make your life a bit more difficult here are a few more suggestions from a fellow non romantic software guy

Japanese is always a hit with thais, Youngone has recommended two good restaurants in this thread here (Zuma and Tsu Nami) : 
 But you can go cheaper also, many of the malls are swarming with Japanese restaurants, places like Central Embassy and Emporium have plenty of mid to high end.  
Following that, you could head to Gold Class Cinema at Embassy, I often see guys take dates there (even LB's).
Or if you prefer to drink, Maggie Choos in Silom (below Novotel) is a LB friendly speakeasy style bar and is themed as a British East India Company bank vault, they frequently have live jazz and blues/soul bands/singers. 
Or for something more elevated, cocktails at Moon Bar in Banyan Tree Hotel, probably the best night view of the cityscape, she will love taking selfies up there. Pretty busy spot usually though. 
If you'd rather spend less, but show you know some trendy hidden gems, try Tep Bar in Chinatown:

If an activity is preferred, then get on a river cruise, book online, some have bars.
Or head to a night Market, for a date the flower market used to be best but that's a shadow of its former self now, so another good market is up near Bang Na, its an antiques/memorabilia market called Rod Fai Night Market
https://maps.app.goo.gl/KhfF3 this place has loads of interesting things to browse, maybe buy.
Alternatively, for somewhere close, Neon Markets (Talad Neon) on Petchaburi Rd is good for selfies (because thais love selfies). 
Chock dee! 

So as part of my promise to give back to the forum that has been so helpful to me, this is my first new topic.
I started visiting the LOS in 2009 and this was the very first hotel that I stayed in in BKK. It was booked as it was close to where I was working on Soi 13.
I stayed at S15, which is part of a small chain of 3-4 hotels for 3 visits between 2009-2010 and it is a great location, right on Sukhumvit and in walking distance of Robinsons and Terminal 21 and also the fleshpots on lower Sukhumvit.
The hotel is very clean, serves a decent breakfast and is guest friendly. As this was my introduction to life in the LOS, the 'walk of shame' also wasn't too far LOL.
I stopped staying there after midway 2010, as their rates kept climbing to around THB 3,500 per night and they weren't interested in a corporate discount deal.
I still use the lunchtime buffet from time to time, as it changes every day and its a good venue to take a mixed group of people, with different dietary requirements.
This hotel is also the scene of one of my favourite newbie mistakes, of which there have been many over the years, which I'll document in later posts.
After checking in I tipped the hotel porter what I thought was THB 100. (It had been a long flight and in my defence I was unused to the Thai currency). Later that night I realised I had actually given him THB 1,000! Even in the States and Europe that would be an extraordinary tip for carrying one bag and also explains the smile from ear to ear that he had!
So what do I do? I can't really ask him for THB 900 back? On the other hand, it just didn't seem right to let him get away with it. So a plan was hatched...
After a wash and some food shopping I went to see him again and explained the situation and advised that he now needed to do me a favour. He could keep the THB 1,000 but had to procure me a decent looking GG. (Yes I do realise it was a newbie mistake, but it was my first night in BKK and little did I realise that there were GG a plenty literally outside the hotel or down the street outside the Ruamchit Hotel). This was before the days of Holly Coffee, which is also a great pick up spot.
So I expected him to take about 30 minutes to 'procure' one, but within 5 minutes he was knocking on the room door with a great selection of 3! This is when I realised that BKK was like no other city I had ever been to before and its when I coined the phrase "you are never more than 10 metres away from a potential jump."
Afterwards I also laughed at the difference between BKK and the big London Hotels, where the concierge would use the code phrase "would you like an extra pillow for your room Sir?" 
It was on my second stay at the S15 that I broke my LB cherry with Eye, from an escort agency, so happy memories!
So in summary, S15 is a good hotel, in a great location, but is a bit pricey for what you get and some could find the rooms to be a bit austere.
I swapped in 2010 to start staying at the Dream Hotel further down Soi 15. But that's another story and another hotel review.
Here ends my first ever proactive post!

Also went  past it several times a day a month ago,  to and from my hotel.  Never ever many people in there. But they blared some great 80s tunes on their outdoor speakers.  I love Mex, Tex-Mex etc, but can get really authentic eats here in states - when i am flying 9,000 miles to LOS  its all Thai street food for this hombre. 

Last trip I took 5 of the lovely lbs from “Why Not Bar” to The Sky Bar at The Lebua Hotel for drinks/cocktails, then out to dinner.

We all had a great night and they were so excited and appreciated it so much.

Mind you they aren’t use to drinking champagne and cocktails.

As we were leaving a couple of young Arab guys got in the lift, they looked at the gals, looked at me, looked at the gals again and looked at me again, and then I said to them “Never try never know guys”

We got out of the lift and one of the lbs tripped over spread eagled over the floor laughing, 30 seconds later another one goes over and snaps one of her high heels and decides to put both shoes in the bin - I turned to her and said “You’re such a bloke”

Yes it did cost a bit but it was so much fun and the gals loved it.




Say no to grief

Ben taking to many clubs reastraunt and bars with ladyboys , never a issue. More fun going to there choice. You get to go to many places you would never think about going 

The smart move is to let the LB choose a place. Chances are you will end up at a modest Thai restaurant with communal dining tables, often outdoors. It will only cost you a few hundred baht.  Don't try to take them to some dressy farang-oriented Thai restaurant.  The atmosphere will be uncomfortable for them and they often won't care for the taste of the food. The food is apparently too salty for their taste in the fancy places.  
Afterward for desert,  take them out for ice cream. They all love ice cream, and going to Swensens or wherever is always a big hit with them. 
 

It's excellent and has been lb friendly in the past but I would have your lb dress appropriately.

While Cathay is my favourite overall airline, it has to be said it is not because of the legroom in economy. Its terrible. Seat comfortable but space is poor. Great if your small but not ideal for western frame.  No idea though about Asiana as comparison as never flown them.
 
Cathay scores highly for me in air crew, cabin crew, aircraft, premium classes. Economy doesn't make the grade.

How is less than 2,5% a gigantic number?
If you multiply that with the chance of someone having G, you number will be really low.
and I get my numbers from scientific articles on PubMed, sciencedirect etc. 
Knowing someone with G is anekdotical evidence btw.
I will repeat it one more time though. Being afraid of getting superG while punting is equally irrational as being afraid to die in a planencrash. There have been more plane related deaths in 2018 than newly diagnosed superG infections in 2016. (No data for 2017 or 2018)

I have noticed this as well and get unwanted e-mail notifications which cant be turned off, this needs to be changed.

It's to stop people fucking up threads by going back and retrospectively editing or removing everything they ever said or posted.

Four words.... Hilbert Space was here.

Nice attachment

Even without mouthwash it’s not easy to get.
Some perspective:
Spending an hour relatively close to someone with the flu has a transmission chance of about 60%.
Sucking cock of a G positive person had a transmission chance of less than 2,5%. Slightly increased by swallowing cum.
 
The flu is way more deadly than G and if you do not die, the flu is way less pleasant to have.
Yet none of us worry too much about getting the flu.

I always tell my patients to ask yourself how risky is driving or crossing the road?
Make the same calculation that people make about diseases.
 
Realise more mongers died in bangkok from a car accident than mongers who got Hiv from blowing someone.
Risk of injury during a ski trip is higher than catching either Hiv, G or Syfillis from oral sex.
 
And never ever forget one ski trip with a msm encounter could leave you paralysed with hiv for the rest of your life. You can win the negative lottery, but should you adapt your lifestyle?

Hello good people.
 
Just some fresh information...
 
I'll be staying at the Adelphi Suites for my next trip... And I asked the hotel about their guest policy.
 
1. What is your policy around bringing guests over? Both women and transgenders. I will be booking the room for double occupancy.
 
Ans. For a joiner policy maximum 3 person in room per time and free of charge.
 
2. What if I want to bring over two guests - not overnight but, for a short time?
 
Ans. Free of charge and contact at the front desk for keep the ID card.
 
It seems they have now relaxed their one guest allowance.
 
Hope this helps.

The Key, Soi 19 Alley is good with a deluxe room at $50 per night. It is situated with two access points to Sukhumvit and very quiet. Very close to Robinson's and Market for food and toiletries. A five minute walk to Cowboy, 10 to NEP, no joiner fee and I hope I mentioned no noise. Perfect hideaway.

much appreciated Gents! Always nice to have some photo material to help make the decision

Yes! All that is stored on phone not the sim. The only thing that changes is your phone number. Just put in the new sim and you are off and ready. If you get a sim at the airport the girls will load it and make sure all is in working irder.

yes but if you are someone who does not like smoke most rooms reak of it and for ST not so bad, but day to day up2u.
 
also, the LT rooms are upstairs on the second floor and they do not have the chair if that was your motivation. unless you have spent a lot of time incarcerated or working on a fishing boat, the size and condition of the ST chair rooms could make you a bit stir crazy. NO WINDOWS,.
 
there are LT rooms in the very back hall 2nd floor that are huge and have a couch and larger fridge, but i have only been able to get one of those twice in 15 years of going there. they also lack decor and the kind of comfort yo might want for LT stays.
 
another factor is the lack of good wifi, limited menu, and shit TV.
 
i have had a lot of LBs who will not get in the chair, so if you are a TOP or looking to do that often, the chair may not offer you what you seek.
 
but for a ST session in a seedy hotel with all that brings to a session. PB cant be beat.
 
one last thing to noite. the hotel building is U shaped. the wing on the Soi 3 side is run by one company, and the wing on the soi 11 side by another, who also runs the upstairs, the 3rd floor is unoccupied and closed off.
 
also, the soi 3 side DOES NOT HAVE THE CHAIRS.
 
the people who work the soi 3 side are asshats and MFs IMO. they also give you a lot of shit about having more than 1 girl which is just a ploy to jack you up for a tip, yet they wont even give you another towel for that.
 
the soi 11 side they are all OK and polite and they have never given me shit about extra girls. if i want an extra towel for a 3rd or 4th joiner i simply hand the room boy 100 baht while asking for that. never had them say no.
 
there are so many good cheap hotels in BKK that to go to PB for LT IMO would be a waste of your time and money, again, unless it's all about the chair for you.
 
for me it's the convenience, price and the seediness .......... further, i tend to call girls mid-day or late afternoon and have them meet me there before they go to work, and they all know where it is and never get lost.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll take bkkldby's word on food and ladyboys anytime!!
 
I'll check out both as I'll be in BKK for 2 days

Why wouldn’t you be spending anytime at the hotel .?

I am not anti-truvada. In fact, I said that I support you taking it if you want to lower your risk. I would rather see you taking it than not taking it.
 
Truvada has only been shown to be 99% effective if you're taking it every day and that is in controlled studies. I'll reiterate that it's just a drug, and every drug's effectiveness can be reduced by your behavior, other drugs, and other things you ingest. If you're taking PREP and walking around feeling like you're risk has been lowered, then that's smart. If you're taking PREP and thinking that HIV is now a "non-issue" then I think you've got your blinders on. The fact that men have gotten HIV while taking PREP should be enough proof for anyone to be cautious.
 
And even if you're taking PREP, it doesn't protect you against hepatitis, gonorrhea, or any of the other drug-resistant strains of infections that people are dying from here every day. So I hope you're using condoms in addition to PREP. If I were a "concern troll" then I would definitely be taking prep, but I just use condoms so that I have range of protection against everything. I just got over a drug-resistant strain of phlarnygitis.... It took 3 rounds of different antibiotics and multiple hospital visits over two months to finally knock it out. It spread to my tonsils and sinuses, and at one point I thought I was going to die because of how fucked up I was from the sickness and the high dose of antibiotics I was on. If I had caught that on my dick, who knows what kind of damage it could have caused.
 
Of course "no one gets out alive", but it's up to you to keep yourself alive as long as possible. Please, by all means take PREP... I highly encourage you to. But don't use it as your only protection.
