How come Danum? Didn't they give you a receipt for the deposit? In every instance any hotel has taken a deposit they give me a receipt and when they return it they give it to me and make me sign for the return.

Thanks Marlowe. I am like you. I would rather spend on girls than hotels but I also hate to be in a noisy area as I need to sleep too. I did look at the hotels in soi 11 but seems to be noisy or the rooms are too small. Maybe I should look at CP then.

I have seen this happen once or twice if the immigration officer discovers it.

What I have seen is also one year.

For the first time today I was asked for my passport when I went to top up my rabbit card. I had topped up twice during last week and they never asked for it. There is a notice saying it's the anti money laundering act and this rule is effective from 19 February 2019. I had to get someone else to top up my card and now I feel I would not be allowed to top it up myself. I accept asking for passport the first time but this is ridiculous.

Yes but I have no problems with them asking for it one time. They told me every time I top up I have to show my passport. Just like the SIM card too. The first time I had to do all the paperwork. But after that they never ask for it.

Anyone going to see him at the Ultra Arena on the 1st May?

I managed to get one. A good friend who is also a famous Thai musician managed to get me one. Thank you.

I would say he is among the top acoustic guitarists around. The tickets seems to have been sold out so I wonder who has bought them? Not really the kind of musician the Thai people would like.

Lots of factors to consider. Over flight permission and alternate aerodromes etc. Also the Thais never seem to know how to make life easy. They always try the complicated ones.

I hope they got hotels but the Airlines will say beyond their control.

Can anyone recommend me a 5 star hotel with live music? Not far from the malls.

How are the hotels near Nana? I don't want any long walks or rides. Anything in front with decent size rooms and friendly?

Yes last week they asked me too. But some of my friends on the same flight was not asked. Basically I showed the email from the hotel and I am sure he didn't even read it as the phone was in my hand and he only glanced at it.

Ok I got confused with the original statement as it said while staying in Thailand. So I was under the impression immigration was stopping people on the road and asking for proof of accommodation. If it's at the airport then I have no issues with it. Because the landing card itself has a column that's asks for the address.

I think it's a bunch of bs either by the police or the guy who talked about it. There is nothing in Thailand rules to say you have to show proof of accommodation when stopped on the road. The passport information would show up on their system at which hotel you are staying. Many also stay in condos of friends etc. There is also nothing in the rules to say you have to stay in a hotel. Do you mind putting a link here as I could not find it on the stickman site. I am sure it's there and not doubting you as I simply could not find it. Thank you

It has a lot to do with Aerothai who provides the air traffic services in Thailand. But it's getting overcrowded and the slot coordination committee has to be given credit for maintaining discipline and not giving to airline demands for timings that could mess the whole thing.

I have used it. It's safe too. They screen your bags before they accept it.

It's tight in EC. Maybe worth it to look at premium economy or the same in Eva Air.

I don't like the beds. Too soft for me.

They start very early in the morning too. It's down right horrible with all the noise. Don't believe a word of what they say about not trying to disturb the guests.

You can actually get access from the basement where the car park is and don't have to go through the lobby.

I am just stopping for one night. I arrive in the evening and depart the next day at noon. So looking for a decent hotel near cirb. I don't want to pay over the top for just a night's sleep. Any recommendations? Thank you very much.

I have booked the Paradise. How is the traffic in the early night from the airport to that area?
