    Ropey got a reaction from taaseesanuk in Digital nomad courses in BKK   
    You mean something innovative, that caters for the needs of the students and not just the govt set curriculum? 
    It's called a Thai gf, a bit more expensive than the standard course but could be good for 3-6 months of study, then switch it for a new one to validate what you've learned from the first one.

    If you must do it in BKK, better off learning something Thais excel at: Cooking Thai Food, Muay Thai, Massage or Thai language courses.

    Forget it!
    Learn programming (C++, Java, Perl) and web design (Javascript, PHP, HTML, etc) in your home country. Then you can work as a digital nomad in Thailand, e.g. in Bangkok, Pattaya or elsewhere.

    Japanese is always a hit with thais, Youngone has recommended two good restaurants in this thread here (Zuma and Tsu Nami) : 
     But you can go cheaper also, many of the malls are swarming with Japanese restaurants, places like Central Embassy and Emporium have plenty of mid to high end.  
    Following that, you could head to Gold Class Cinema at Embassy, I often see guys take dates there (even LB's).
    Or if you prefer to drink, Maggie Choos in Silom (below Novotel) is a LB friendly speakeasy style bar and is themed as a British East India Company bank vault, they frequently have live jazz and blues/soul bands/singers. 
    Or for something more elevated, cocktails at Moon Bar in Banyan Tree Hotel, probably the best night view of the cityscape, she will love taking selfies up there. Pretty busy spot usually though. 
    If you'd rather spend less, but show you know some trendy hidden gems, try Tep Bar in Chinatown: 
    https://maps.app.goo.gl/jUnCq
    If an activity is preferred, then get on a river cruise, book online, some have bars.
    Or head to a night Market, for a date the flower market used to be best but that's a shadow of its former self now, so another good market is up near Bang Na, its an antiques/memorabilia market called Rod Fai Night Market
    https://maps.app.goo.gl/KhfF3 this place has loads of interesting things to browse, maybe buy.
    Alternatively, for somewhere close, Neon Markets (Talad Neon) on Petchaburi Rd is good for selfies (because thais love selfies). 
    Chock dee!

    You can get a SUV Mu X or Fortuna taxi in the taxi stand, it has a dedicated lane at the airport for large taxis. Or you could download Grab app and order a pickup by an SUV, in the times I have used Grab at the airport they picked me up at departures drop off, not sure if that still happens as its been a while since I used Grab.

    Pros -
    - very discreet
    - Decent entertainment system and large tele with porn and ability to connect to your phone/laptop
    - Huge spa bath
    - Private Pool
    - English speaking staff
    - thai room service food is fantastic
    - large comfortable bed
     
    Cons -
    - mosquitos, many. They do provide repellent and a bat to swat them.
    - not so clean, I cleaned the spa before using it and the shower was full of soap scum.
    - remote location, it's not really close to anything farang oriented, there's other bars and alike in the area but mainly Thai focused.
    - difficult for the taxi to find
     
    This place is great if you want to party with privacy as a couple or a group, I would stay here again for group sessions, but wouldn't treat it as a base to explore Bangkok.

    Gave the curtain rooms a shot here last week with a GG friend visiting Bangkok from Up country, the room was interesting, had a fairly hard bed and the aircon was either on and freezing or off. Small crt tv with no porn but plenty of channels including English channels. The staff speak English ok. Price was 360 baht for 3 hours.
     
    Pros -
    - convenient location
    - themed rooms with a special sex chair
    - mostly clean
    - lights can be dimmed and has red and blue room lights also.
     
    Cons -
    - Shower didn't work
    - Freezing aircon
    - really old and dated
    - they don't provide condoms as standard
     
    Despite the cons, the sex chair in this place is the main reason I will return, it really is a fantastic piece of equipment, my girl likes anal so with her lying in the chair, her legs held up by the heightened leg rests it was very easy to be able to get good deep access and have a good view of her while I was pounding away, she found the seat very comfortable too.
     
    Tapatalk is refusing to allow the picture of the room, possibly because of the nude lady art above the bed, I'll try edit it and post it soon.
    Added the pic, I had to blank out the boobs for Tapatalk to accept the upload. Crazy.
