    Dawin since reopening

    Has anyone stayed at the Dawin since reopening? Planning on being there first 2 weeks of December.

    Monkey Pox

    Sorry, but "plenty of people" is just blatant hyperbole.

    Carry on Only Tips

    I have 3 SotteVests and have been using them for over 10 years--never go without wearing one. I carry everything in the vest that I do not want to lose and that I want to access during the flights. I also haven't checked a bag for 25 or more years and my trips are usually 4-6 weeks. Never had a problem finding a wash and fold shop, and some hotels will do it cheaply.

    Flight Credit. Anybody got a refund?

    One the reasons that I never use debit cards for purchases--only for ATM

    Air Travel during the New Normal

    So how do the window-seat passengers in the next rows access and exir their seats?
  7. If I were a resident, I would consider it my local, and I hope to hell that I can make it back there, if for nothing else than eating my at least 500th stick of meat from that lady vendor in the first pic. Let's plan on giving her big tips when she returns. SI often has good classic rock live.
  8. I added Rest Hub to the people-watching bars because they often have good bands.

    Anyone for Cricket

    When I first heard that one about 40 years ago, it was “....whores and hockey players”. Same answer—“what position...”. It was used to describe a quick thinker , eh?

    Citrus Suites Sukumvit Soi 6

    Looking forward to BM reviews of this new property. I booked 10 days (cancellable) next fall. Deluxe room with brekkie for 2. Not cheap at TB 3700/night, so want to know it is worth that much. Thanks!

    The 5th capital sin...

    Ate there once and it was great, but sadly must add it to the list of places described by YB: “Nobody goes there anymore—it’s too crowded”

    Grand 5 Hotel - not guest friendly

    Maybe the reason there are no reviews on this site??
  13. Yes, thats a King to me. Always good for doing the Amazons sideways. I prefer not to do Queens.
  14. The room details say "double bed". Queen/King???
  15. And they disappeared!! Email, text messages, and other forum postings are not affected. I did do extensive troubleshooting before I did the OP.
  16. When I post on the forum from my iPhone 7, the apostrophes that I type never show up on my post. Since apostrophes are monstrously (and mostly erroneously) overused, I have joked that maybe admin banned them, but since I see so many of them in other posts, it doesnt appear to be a ban or tech problem with the web site. Any ideas or anyone else having this issue? Quotation marks also do not post.
  17. Thanks for the reply. Nothing wrong with my touchscreen. When I type the post on this forum, both apostrophes and quotation marks show in the text. But when The the post appears on the forum, they have disappeared. Wont Didnt Hasnt. . I afded several quotation marks and I am looking at them as well as the apostrophes.
  18. Checking to see if the problem doesn’t involve postings from my iPad. “””””

    JW Marriott Sukhumvit soi 2

    I spent 60% of my 45 year career in hotels. Much of the time I had no choice in booking, and about half the time I had to sleep during the day and worked at night. Renovations were literal nightmares. The standard tool used is a hammer drill, and no matter where it is used, it reverberates throughout the property. Stay away when you have a choice!!!

    Buying SIM card after landing?

    I have used AIS and True. Recommend AIS. And be sure to keep your home country sim in a safe place so you can re-install on your return.
