    technodude67 got a reaction from mikel in Classic Kameo Hotel Ayutthaya   
    I stayed in Kameo many times. That (along with Kantary on the other side of the road) was really great for happy ending massages in the night. Dialling the lobby and asking for a 2 hours oil massage and find a skilled "therapist" called from outside at your door was a matter of minutes. Then (I don't remember when, think about 2016) they opened their own in house SPA and since then you had only their old and ugly staff doing a standard no happy ending massage. What a waste

    Stayed one night in Sept 2019. Drove up late morning (try and get a lb out the door early!) and had an uneventful and pretty easy run. Booked through Agoda for a little over $100aud. Room was a deluxe 32sqm and had everything you need except a view. Our balcony faced a wall so natural light wasn't great. Bathroom was good - plenty of constant hot water & - a rarity on this trip - the bed was not as hard as concrete.
    There's a pool but we didn't use it. 
    We headed out soon after arrival and spent the afternoon wandering the temples. Had dinner at an open air market by the river. 
    Breakfast was standard fare and ok but nothing special. Did its' job. (Hotel pics from internet ).
    Overall a perfectly ok overnight stop. If you need an 'I go for the culture' story for the cynics back home I'd recommend a short side trip to Ayutthaya. The temples etc are worth seeing  - it wasn't crowded - and it's beautifully kept.

    technodude67 got a reaction from lb_beginner in Pharmacy that sells Truvada in the lower Sukhumvit area   
    Chula Besaj is the major drug supplier for any surrounding clinic and hospital (Bangkok Christian, BNH Hospital just to name a few). It's not a common pharmacy, they are gross dealers though they sell to individuals as well. It's not uncommon to go there and wait over an hour because of guys getting orders of, say, 20 kilos medicine packs.

    technodude67 got a reaction from Knobby in Visa Run Question   
    Immigration office in BKK is at Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Chaeng Watthana, building B)
    What you need:
    2 4x6 pictures a photocopy of passport Information Page, Entrance Stamp/Visa and Departure Card Filled out Visa Extension Form (TM7) - get it here: http://www.immigrationbangkok.com/files/visa_forms/tm7.pdf 1900 baht in cash You better be there as early as possible (before 7am, even better if before 6.30 tho. The sooner, the smoother), to get the queue number - after you got the number you can walk town to underground floor to have breakfast, also note that there are copy, print and photo shops available (in case if you don't have pictures or copies).
    About 8am it's time to come back to office front door as they will start to call those who have a queue number. Office open at 8.30am. After that the process is quite straightforward. 
    About one week before your 30 days end should be fine to go.
    As an alternative you can obtain a single entry 60 days Tourist Visa prior to travel but in this case you may want to check with your local Thai embassy/consulate as the rules might not be the same for every nationality.
    I hope I was helpful enough here
