Herehai is a small restaurant, about 25 minutes from Thong Lor BTS station. The food and service was excellent. We had the crab omelette, tom yum prawns, mantis shrimp, and the crab fried rice. Each dish was a feast for the senses. If I return, I would order the same dishes. Service was excellent without being intrusive. Best of all was that the total came to only 2000B, which is inexpensive. The only issue is the wait times as the restaurant is very small so the lines are long. but if you love Thai food this is really a must visit. This is on par with Jay Fai. Dan

Ah! Thank you for the trouble. There’s one at the central embassy. good reviews too, although prices appear to be higher than average. I certainly would like to try that one out. thank you again.

you forgot the name? That’s nice. any chance it could be ‘Authentic Thai food & curry‘ (it may be a poor translation from Thai) restaurant?

You should. It is a worthwhile wait. the other consideration is to try and get their Line contact. It is readily available on their social media posts. I started bugging them for reservations 2 months before I left for Bangkok and they finally gave in. before this it was usually ordering through Grabfood. dan

Maitria is close to both the MRT & BTS stations, roughly 650m, so this is always a good thing and it is something I always lookout for. The walk to trains is comfortable and fast. I have been with Adelphi Grande for the past 7 years (roughly 2 visits a year) and have been comfortable with them. Unfortunately, staff turnover is very high so that’s a negative. Before that it was Parchara Suites on soi 6 (now Parkroyal). The people at Maitria are good. Well most of them. Housekeeping is spot on, and this is very high on my list. I never fail to see housekeeping, already cleaning rooms when I leave at 930am. Breakfast was a little sparse (although coffee was good), but I guess that is to be expected at this price point. There is a small laundrette in the basement, which is a useful feature to have. The room layout is awkward, and furniture placement makes it very difficult to move around and be comfortable. So this was a negative for me. Not something I’d care to repeat. The bed was spectacular, one of the better features in the room but I just wished the WiFi connection was better. I booked the studio grand deluxe, 2,600B nett per day, with breakfast. I had planned. 2 week stay with them but I came down with Bronchitis while on a food binge in Yaowarat on the 2nd day. Doctors on the 3rd day, and I got a flight back home on the 4th day. All my plans, down the drain!!! Ah! Well. Dan

Yeah! I read his earlier this month on Agoda. I think he was hassled or something. I wouldn’t pay any heed. dan

I’d have to agree even though if might be risky. But I can’t imagine doing it with a condom. dan

That’s great. Keep your wits about you and have a splendid time. Looking forward to your review.

Give this a go.

I suggest you wait for prices to drop. They do things differently from the rest. A short 1 or 2 hour flight? Maybe. Big Maybe! But anything more? Don't risk it. Dan

Enjoy buddy. Write something for us. dan

Wow! Sounds like you’re all geared up. Hope you have a good time buddy. dan

Thanks. I considered that before deciding on Park Plaza. The latter was much cheaper. Dan

Gee this sounds good. Thanks buddy. Dan

Thank you. Am staying at the Park Plaza (@Asok bts) in a couple of months and I am looking for a good laundry service. A washer/dryer in the room means I don't have to bring that many change of clothes. BKK's high humidity is a real pain. Thanks again. Dan

The other Adelphis have it too. My go-to was Adelphi Grande on Sukhumvit 41 (looking for a change now though). Hi oily, is Ananya Massage & Laundry Service the one you are referring to? I found it on Google. Thank you Dan

Hope you have a wonderful time buddy. Looking forward to your reports. dan

Hi guys Does anyone have any feedback on Rembrandt hotels? I was looking at another stay in Oct/Nov '23 and I noticed that their rates are pretty low. For example, 7 nights, with b'fast, for less than 15,000Baht. And theres no payment now. I usually frequent Adelphi Grande but their rates appear to be rising steadily out of my reach. Their Pictures look good and reviews seem good too, so am curious about the low price. Anyone who has ever stayed with them, I would sincerely appreciate a quick review. Thank you loads. Dan

Cheers guys. much appreciated. I read Saxons post but thought it might have been renovated since then. Current pics posted on travel sites look a tad different hence the my question. I like the new pics and the rates are really good. Thank you again. dan

I'm sure you will buddy. I'm in bkok from tomorrow and really looking forward to it. Dan

Why don't you tell us the story buddy. Dan

I read sometime ago that Grab is no longer allowed to pickup from the airport. Can someone verify this please? I will be arriving in 14 days. Thank you. dan

I stayed there a few tines and happy to report that there's none. But you should check given the new mgmt. Dan

Look forward to reading them soon. Make it a point to visit the LB bars buddy. Dan

I am replying about earbuds, not headphones. You might want to look at newer brands like Anker or Edifier. These are great Value for money brands. The Sony wf 1000xm3 is about a year old and Its price has dropped considerably as the new model is out. But it was voted best among reviewers. Dan
