They don't ask for ID unless the girl went for the front desk , you can go up with girl no question ask 
I don't recommend this hotel:
Noise insulation , can hear next door talking and loud bang if next door did not close their door quietly 
No Fridge  - there is a share Fridge downstairs
Air condition unit too close to bed 
Lighting - White light too dark or too bright, no in between 
Elevated bed make it uncomfortable 
Very small 
Otherwise , it is very clean , very well maintain. Really want to like it but the negative out weighted the positive . 
 La Petite Salil Sukhumvit 11
Galleria 10 Hotel Bangkok
Give me better experience at the same price range ,  even they are not as well maintain

If you get the PEP on time the risk should be very low,  plus the risk are generally low with swallow
In term of the reaction its not un-common for LB to go mental on anything. 
Even if we know of a case doesn't mean it is likely to happen as still what we know of is a small sample. 
Just remember you need to do again test, I think in 3 months time to get all the clear. 

Exactly what I need when I hit the ground in later this month. Thank you SAG 

All the ST rooms at Nana Plaza have been closed for a long time.
There's a ST hotel in a small soi , some ladyboys are posted there.
I took a picture earlier. It's 100 meters from Nana Plaza on the left.
Here's the picture.

Etihad will definitely follow suit, as UAE airspace is closed now.
What a shitshow, BUT... if I was going to be stuck in one city, I would rather it was BKK than Tehran!

LOCUSTS -  That is exactly what Hong Kong city people name the  tourist/ stayer from main land China, no ill intended just description of fact.

Like a plague of locusts!....platters of prawns and duck are blitzed in seconds!!

Thanks for your recommendations, I really enjoy that areas nice food and chill coffee shops a short walk from China town with river view. 
Can't wait to get back , but wont happen at least  till March next year ,,,, so sad
 
 
  

That place is really good. I fully recommend it.
If you like that type of old school Thai Chinese food and you're in the Song Wat area I'd also strongly recommend Urai Braised Goose and Lim Lao Sar Fishball Noodles. They've both been there for decades and for good reason, they're the best in the city for their particular specialities.
Urai Braised Goose:

Lim Lao Sar:

There's loads of other good options in the area as well. Those 3 probably aren't even my personal favourites (that said, I like all 3 and some days find myself craving them specifically also the Mrs loves the goose and fishball places in particular) but they're pretty famous and deservedly so. Anyway, they are well worth a visit but so are a lot of places in that part of town in my opinion.
All 3 of those places are very popular, the braised goose one on particular so good luck if you are trying that during the festival. We normally queue up well in advance to book our goose for later before they sell out.

If anyone is currently visiting Bangkok and would like to take advantage of the refreshing cooler weather to go exploring BKK in the daytime this might be a good option.
The Song Wat festival is running over the next 3 days from 11.00-21.00 but the bars will be busy after that of course. This is a perfect opportunity to explore what has to be the coolest part of Bangkok right now.
To get to Song Wat you just need to either catch the MRT to Wat Mangkon and walk 5 mins through Yaowarat or get off a boat at Ratchawong pier and that drops you just a few steps from Song Wat Road.
Here's the location of one of the good bars in the middle of this neighborhood just in case you want to find your way there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9nPenexAGgyBQHx47
The Song Wat neighbourhood is a small area between Chinatown/Yaowarat and the river. It has an interesting blend of attractive buildings mixed with street art and funky galleries spilling out onto the streets. Exploring this neighborhood on foot can be very rewarding with hidden surprises down nearly all the back alleys so it can easily take an afternoon. It's one of the most beautiful and interesting parts of the city, definitely somewhere that would appeal to any photographers out there too as there's a lot to see.
There are so many excellent food options and some very funky bars in Song Wat but rather than give an extensive list right now I'd just suggest going to the festival and eating or drinking wherever appeals as it's all likely to be good and you might just prefer to enjoy what's happening on the streets for the festival at the time you're there. However I would recommend sitting at one of the riverside bars such as Barbon at sunset to enjoy the beautiful views if you're visiting for a first time.
If any of you do decide to pay a visit to Song Wat over the next few days for the festival please feel free to message me for any specific recommendations as I know the area very well, it's one of my favourite parts of Bangkok.
Edit:
One more thing, this would make an excellent place to go with a LB date and make her happy, even if she doesn't know the place herself she'll recognise bits from her social media. Unfortunately that means she'll also inevitably want a lot of pictures taken in the same places but that would keep any LB happy as would all the excellent food in the area and it's an easy way to have a day out together. It's not an expensive option either.

I was surprised there weren't any direct flights from the US. It must have been a pain getting to Thailand especially with most US companies offering so little personal leave.
I'm glad that it's "only" a 9 hour flight from Australia.  The daytime Thai airways flights are fine, but I'm definitely getting to the point that I need to book business class or a stopover for anything longer than that or when it involves an overnight leg.  

Yes I have eventually a couple of times. Very good rooms if you get the 6th floor. Please don’t get anything above the suite floors. There is no lift and you have to drag the suitcase up one stairs yourself. They are very strict in registering guests and would keep the id cards until they leave..
Dont go to the massage attached to it as old ladies and they offer HJ at the end in a special room.
