Thai Air are completely useless. I flew with them several times ex Syd because of special deals through Malai Travel but one flight had a broken seat. No acknowledgement from staff and sought compensation/apology via letters/email/phone & online shaming. Nothing. One flight entertainment system broken. Same deal. Ladt time the plane broke down in Sydney but nobody told us for three hours until a softly spoken middle aged man came out and told us it was cancelled only those closest could understand him. Next day we returned and they had no plan or system at all. I worked with a British guy to separate passengers into destinations (London, Frankfurt & Singapore) and we worked with a lone Thai woman to get people on other flights. I ended up on Singapore Air. Will never fly Thai again. (And their whisky is awful).

From the Sofitel reviews. He's talking about you.....

Have a word with yourself. Racism is for dickheads.

Going to cost you a fortune in LadyPies....

Spotted on Agoda...take heed

If you're a serious gym goer then you can't beat the Muscle Factory at On Nut. Bit of a hike but it's the best gym in Bkk. 250bt for a day pass.

No one wants to enter your cargo shorts!

It's the tropics so a white dinner jacket is acceptable but remember you are representing the highest form of gentleman traveller so never white pants under any circumstance.

I took girl on several trips and found that she loved a private pool villa - couldn't really swim but made an effort (loved sex in the pool ) but at a resort stayed on the lounger under the umbrella looking at her phone. At the beach she would wade out to waist height and bob around. I imagine an Australian surf beach would freak them out!

I've used Bangkok International Dental Centre several times and always pleased with the result (and cost...also from Sydney so I understand your pain). My lb 'gf' always chided me that it was ek-pensive - it is aimed at farang - but to me it was reasonable and honest.

Yes I guessed. Being a smartarse. From all reports I would avoid the Ambassador.

40 baht! You'll be in with the soi dogs in the KT slum

Will be in for a pint. In July....talk about forward planning.

The Old English in Thong Lor suk soi 55

When it first opened I liked to take the train - empty, nice leisurely introduction back into Bkk watching the scenery. And dirt cheap. Subsequent visits it has been packed and/or I've been picked up lb gf. Next trip it'll be back to taxi.
