    yes I'm not happy got a king room here booked and paid for only found out this after the fact the glowing reviews here failed to mention there's this policy and a long ass walk of shame

    I stayed there and took lb's in and they stayed  for breakfast. Booked for two and was prepared to tell them but nobody said anything. The walk to the lift wasn't that long. The worst part was the interminable check in & the bloody uncomfortable seat at reception.

    Hey Taas. That's very interesting, so I consulted the urban dictionary:

    "dog's breakfast," which has been British slang for "a complete mess" since at least the 1930s. While no one took the time to write down the exact origin of the phrase, the allusion involved seems to be to a failed culinary effort, perhaps a burned or botched omelet, fit only for consumption by the mouth of last resort, Fido. As a vivid figure of speech meaning something so fouled up as to be utterly useless, "dog's breakfast" can cover anything from a play plagued by collapsing scenery to a space mission ruined by a mathematical error. "Dog's dinner," which seems to have appeared around the same time, means exactly the same sort of disaster, but has the advantage of being attractively alliterative. Both phrases are heard occasionally in the U.S., but are more common in the U.K. and Commonwealth countries.

    Dogs Dinner:

    British expression: 
    1) a mess; a clusterfuck; synonymous with dog's breakfast 
    2) dressed up, usually excessively; gussied up. Usually derogatory.

    1) The wedding, despite months of preparations, disintegrated into a dog's dinner.

    2) The cook asked the skullery maid, "Where are you going, dressed up like a dog'sdinner?"
     
    Interestingly my own usage of dogs dinner is around the "dressed up like a dog's dinner" usage. Whereas I would only ever use a dog's breakfast to describe a botch job or a mess.
     
    I guess the usage may be different between the motherland and the colonies?
     
    Case in point - Brits will say: "its like Fred Carno's Circus", whereas we say "its like Boswell Wilkie's Circus" - the same meaning but different circus names!
     
    Cheers

    As someone who grew up in England I've never heard of Fred Camo or his circus nor the phrase.

    Yea and going to a college , renting a scooter and apartment. 

    So you see this trip is different

    My last couple of trips have been in the suburbs never going near Nana/Asok. I think a lot of us, not all, would still love to swap places.  Enjoy.

    Said before I dont wanna pull the trigger on my travel insurance unless I really have to.

    Hope it all turns out well. Take care. Next trip is always better....

    Fucking hell. Relax man! Have a massage, a manicure, a facial, haircut, ten tequilas & a blow job. Get a motorbike taxi to race through traffic and film it while laughing like a lunatic. Then go to CIB and organise a threesome. We'll meet you at Foodland for a big brekky at 5am and do it all again. Bangkok baby!

    cant stand hotels that require a card to use the lift, i like the landmark is my fav but begrudge the price. I am thinking about petals inn on soi 4 or @mind in bts on nut for my stay in a few months

    I've stayed at @Mind three times over the years and agree with OTS that the one bedroom is worth the extra. It's a good location although the area has changed dramatically with brand new condo towers dominating the skyline. 

    The gym is rubbish. If you're a fitness fan try Muscle Factory (a short cab ride away). The rooftop pool is tiny - maybe two people lazing around is enough. Still big enough to enjoy a ladyboy in though.....

    During my last stop (Late 2017) I noticed all new staff in rebranded uniforms and a greater air of professionalism but a decline in charm (also wall to wall Chinese tourists).  Breakfast wasn't as good as previous vusits. I'd stay for a night possibly two and am now looking at Viva Garden in Bang Chak one BTS stop south.

    Yes. Caught from a well known girl working in a Nana gogo. Showed up afrer I got back home and was quickly treated but the initial shock of seeing a red sore is not something I want to experience again. Told the lb and she said "oh  the condom broke with one or two customers". She got it treated (at least that's what she told me....TIT).

    Get in while you can. NEP & soi 4 will be history soon enough. Singaporification, bending over for the Chinese and just plain old property speculation will spell the end for Nana. This is good news for the adventurous BM  prepared to search out his fun but less appealing for the theme park loving, everything on a plate basement monger.

    In time stories will filter through of wild nights in Thonburi - bars, lounges & guesthouses accomodating crazy farangs with fistfuls of baht just looking for a good time.  And there will always be ladyboys...

    Is it possible to pick up one of these DTAC Tourist SIM Cards from any of the 7/11's in and around NEP? Or do I have to get registered at one of their counters?

    Thx.

    Their desks are right in front of you as you exit immigration.  The queues move quickly - just hand them your phone, passport and the cash you want to spend.

    I don't know what the AUD exchange rate is at present but seems more than i paid as usual it will be down to occupancy and how far in advance you book it, i was about 3 weeks in advance.

    I used Booking .com

    Yes timing is everything. That room size is just too small for me.
