From memory, the Dutch favors this style as well.

I think this place is a recent addition, I believe it opened around February this year. I wouldn't waste any time on the few bars in Soi 6, Stumble Inn is a no drama bar, mainly mature GG's but you won't get ripped off....it's location is perfect for people watching if you can get a front seat.

Not on the doorstep, but the lady on the cut through from Soi 8 to soi 6 is brilliant......usually turns it around in under 4 hours. She is right next to Kassalong blowjob joint if you want to be serviced alongside your laundry.

Nope, Nam's are fantastic and most of her drivers are single mothers. Providing the service if of the usual excellent levels then for sure round it up to 2k. it will be appreciated.

I think it's a practical choice but without the bells and whistles. An 18-night stay in BKK can soon become pricey so at that price you have a good deal. I have been looking ahead to October and so far The Mercure is offering rooms at £80.00 a night, which is a decent price. No doubt when I do book it will have jumped considerably!!

Think of the downturn in straws! @SAGuy will be gutted, he loves a stroll behind them as he makes his way along Soi11

I have arthritis in my knees so flying from London to BKK via Saudi is a nice half way break. It's only a two hour layover so basically you get of one plane and on to another with a decent leg stretcher in between. Also, I find that Emirates is a very well equipped plane with decent food, Thai and EVA get the job done but the planes are dated and the food is adequate but nothing special.

Might be worth it if it curtails the hordes of Israeli's and Russians

I agree, I found out the hard way about Insurance and their "Act of war" get out clause! I'm sure the girls will be pleased to see you in WN when you get back mate.

I think if you are able to show that you have an issue with returning due to the Airline unable to fly then you will be given dispensation with the visa to rebook or reschedule. This was the case back in March when the conflict started.

So, it looks as though there is some stability with travel in and out of The Middle East. We are seeing some very attractive deals from the likes of Emirates, Quatar, and Etihad as the companies try to entice us back to using them? Would you be confident to take them up on this? Certainly, you will unlikely be covered by Travel Insurance in the event of being stranded, trust me I was victim of this! Alongside the threat of conflict is now the added concern of possible aviation fuel shortages. It's a difficult situation to balance as some deals do look attractive, personally, I will be sticking with flying direct to LOS for the immediate future.

Indeed, and well played to you both. I would add that the concept is actually a really good one......Toto is in the Minivan to Laos as I write this, I might suggest she tells the driver to turn back, I could really see her running a bakery/coffee shop with a crew of Poom Pui Ladyboy waitresses!

Probably won't have any Yorkshire tea though.....

Yep, you are right, I wrongly put 200 baht....it was in fact 100 baht. Fantastic value....edited the post.

I had lunch today at Krua khun Puk, oddly it's the first time I have eaten here. It was very busy with all tables full and seating only along the side benches. I always use the pad krapow moo as a good choice to see how the cooking is, with this being such an iconic Thai dish it should be a guaranteed pleaser. So, after 20-25 minutes after ordering the food it still hadn't arrived, taking into account a busy lunchtime I felt this was still odd, sure enough the waiter had fucked up and not relayed the order to the kitchen. In fairness the food then arrived within 5 minutes so kudos for the rapid response. It was a good size portion and the flavours were everything you expect for this dish, my only gripe was that the egg wasn't runny but perhaps I should have stipulated that. When the check bin came it was 100 baht , ridiculously cheap for prime Sukhumvit territory. As a quick lunchtime meal or if you want a eat and go type place then this will more than serve your needs!
