  1. Well @FarangJaiNgay, seems with the earthquake, you experienced already one very rare happening in Bangkok! Hope you're well! Care to share some more details about your ladyboy adventures? Who, where, what, when why ?

    Dawin Hotel

    Thanks for the info @taaseesanuk. I've never stayed at Dawin myself. I'm afraid I'll be doing nothing else than crossing the road 2 times a day when I do But I had dinner there a few weeks ago and it was excellent. This is what I wrote in my TR: Also for dinner a tried a new place, being the Dawin hotel, opposite Why Not. I felt like sneaky stalker, sitting on their terrace, but their food is awesome. I had a spicey spaghetti with bacon and banana fritters with ice-cream as dessert For sure worth a recommendation! And indeed, bang opposite of Why Not bar :
  4. I can confirm the outstanding quality at Vesuvio! Last time I visited was in August last year, when I tried pizza Diavolo ... I loved it! Unfortunately I was alone, but with some good company it would have even been better

    Hopeland Hotel Soi 8 Review

    Good review @karmazov! I have stayed at Hopeland in Aug en Dec 2023, thought I wrote a review myself, but can't find it anymore. So I'll add some comments here: Location: Awesome! Located in the middle of the golden triangle, on easy walking distance to Why Not, Cindy's and Check In bar. They have a golf cart which brings you to the beginning of Soi 8 upon request (although it was out of order when I stayed there, due to a flat tyre ). Room - Both my rooms had a small balcony, which is a 'pro' for a smoker. One room was quite big, the other was simply huge. Both had a fridge, kitchenette. Bathroom - Fully agree with OP here. Bathroom is fine, but I took care of my own supplies. Internet - I cannot recall it was that bad! But had to go fetch new passwords at the reception a few times. Breakfast - The coffee machine in the lobby is a nice touch (Citadines in Soi 8 has it too). The breakfast is very basic. Didn't include it anymore for my second visit. Facilities - The pool on the rooftop is quite okay. Big enough and there's a hottub as well (which was broken during my first visit). Guest Friendly - Indeed 100%! Quite sure I have been one of the reasons many girls at CIB (and WN and CS) know the place pretty well. Did a handful of threesomes there too, and bringing multiple ladyboys also no problem at all. \ Noise - Indeed, perfectly quiet! Price - Their current price has increased a lot over last year. Where the OP paid 62 GBP (approx. 74 Euro), I paid a year ago around 55 Euro a night! Basically this increased price (knowing the rooms / service would still be the same), made me decide to change to another hotel. I would repeat if they return to their previous rate, but agree with @karmazov that for 74 Euro better places can be found!

    Don Mueang Fast Track Immigration

    Better keep using BBK @CJ-BLF. It's the official IATA code for Suvarnabhumi. The code used by the International Civil Aviation Organization is VTBS. Not sure where @hock19 got SVK from, but according to the IATA list, it doesn't exist! Is there another system to identify airports ?

    Citadines soi 8 & 11 (updated 2014)

    I have stayed at Citadines, in Sukhumvit Soi 8 for over 6 weeks, in two visits during August and September. So let me give you a small review. Reception: very friendly and helpful. Check in around 11am both times no problem (although official check in starts at 2pm). From 7am to 6pm there is a coffee machine where you can get a coffee/cappuccino, free of charge. Check-out (before noon) was without a problem. The hotel is guest friendly, even when taking two girls at the same time. A few days (when I went in relative early), girls had to hand over ID at reception. Most of the times, they didn't bother at all. Room: similar to the one in attached picture (pictures are snatched from the web). Only difference is view out of window, which for me a brick wall from the building next door But they are spacious enough with a small kitchenette (only used for making coffee though). The couch is just to narrow to stretch you legs when sitting on it (at least when you're over 1.85m, not really convenient. The bed and pillows are perfect, and same for the shower. Too bad bumgun was leaking, so bathroom floor was wet all the time. Daily cleaning of bed sheets and room and additional towels was okay. Water is supplied as much as needed. On request: smoking rooms are available (inside, no balcony). Swimming pool: I added the picture from the web. Didn't visit a single time during my stays Breakfast: you get vouchers, which you have to bring every morning. Inside there are basically two small tables and 1 bigger table (where groups or multiple individuals can sat down). Outside terrace has plenty of space to sit down. The coffee is good. The food is below average. Some cereal with milk, some yogurt and some hot food which never looked appealing to me. There is an option to order eggs, never did it myself. Prefer cappuccino over eggs in the morning. When not booked with room, a breakfast voucher can be bought for 250 THB. Tuktuk: Citadines has a 24/7 tuktuk service, bringing you from the hotel to the entry of Soi 8, at the Lyf hotel. You can also text them via Line, for them to come pick you up there when returning to the hotel. Driver is a bit of a dolt though. Saw him a few times at 7/11, buying a can of beer. Guess designated drivers shouldn't dehydrate Costs: for my stay in August I paid approx. 2.240 THB (excl. breakfast) per night. I only booked this stay two weeks in advance. The stay in September (booked months in advance was approx. 2.200 THB (incl. breakfast) per night. Will I repeat: Yes! Already booked for my next stay, preferably without the breakfast option.

    Return flight needed to enter Thailand

    I've never been asked about my return flight. But since you're planning to do visa-run anyhow, why not book the first on already before entering LoS. When asked, you can show them this one!
