Not too many backpackers here mate!

Agreed, going back there is like putting on an old pair of slippers....it's old fashioned ways are part of it's charm. I took the best suite they had last time as it was ridiculously cheap and not much more than one of the executive rooms.....in truth it was still decades behind the one I had at Citrus suites, but as you say the location is the best you will get, and reception and security have seen every single kind walk through them doors....nobody bats an eyelid....I look forward to returning soon. You know what, as I think about it, I believe that Nana use it's dated old fashioned persona to attract a target guest.....single traveller, 50+, with one sole intention of sleeping, eating, and Mongering.....I guess that's me and a load more besides!......Millennials, generation X, package tourists and ex Hotel inspectors should probably look elsewhere.

I love Indian food and in England we are spoilt for choice, but I have to say I have no craving for it in LOS...I'm sure there must be one or two decent Indian's in Bangkok but with Thai curries and all the other spicy dishes i really can live without it when I'm there.

Jeez....you can also get run over crossing the road....don't over think things.....we spend days, months, years debating on LOS trips why on earth would you want to restrict /challenge yourself over baggage.

Agreed. intrigue got me inside, all the usual tricks and then a Thai couple done a fuck show as the finale....turned up in their dressing gowns straight from the bar two doors along!....Most of this stuff was on the first floor level and some of the places were very dubious and would look to hoodwink newbies. The ladies doing the show and also most in the bar were definitely lower end talent....also, the candle wax shows that you still see around never done anything for me.

I think the heady days in the 80s and 90s when anything and everything happened in Patpong have all but gone now.

All of the North of Thailand is worthy of a visit and time spent, a whistle stop day tour just to see a temple feels a bit rushed. Is there no opportunity in the future where you can take a proper trip up North as it's worth it. Mongering is best spent in BKK and Pattaya but the North is often where you get to see true Thailand.

I am pretty sure if you have no proof of vaccination then you need to do mandatory 10 days (?) in a designated SHA hotel with their testing requirements. Get yourself vaccinated is the best advice.

Feel free to add any experiences you may have had. There is a huge amount of good information here that should interest you.

If you want to keep that smile going check out the prices of some of the premium Hotels in BKK!

He is indeed mate.

A good friend of mine is finally able to now have some spare time to spend with his family after a very intense 4 months on the Covid wards, he said that at it's peak it was 50/50 as to whether they could treat and cope with patients, he said it has aged him and he is mentally and physically drained...I guess the 1.5% pay rise offered by the Government will help ease the burden then!! Disgraceful and disrespectful springs to mind.

I know things have really flared up in France and most of Europe, I wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope the bastard disease is brought under control as soon as possible. When you do get a chance to return to LOS I think you will have definitely earned a bit of quality Mongering...respect!

I really enjoy both the advanced and public sector of the pats site, there is loads of info that also covers BKK as well. I have always found the vast majority there to be a decent bunch .

Not sure if the moderator is still around to consider your request...the sister forum are suggesting he is AWOL. There is hardly any traffic on here anymore so I don't suppose there is much being said in the advanced section, unless looking at bars and girls from the past who are no longer around is your thing. Still, I am sure things will improve and old advanced members will return again.
