Thanks

Before corona virus and after corona virus on Air Asia.

I am using chrome on a macbook pro, no idea what site version is but both videos below work fine.

There was a new night market "Rod Fai" style place that opened almost on my doorstep, I think they only had a few days running before the CV lockdown hit.

I hope to road test it if they are allowed to open soon.

Yep. And Chatuchak has also opened it's doors today:

and my beloved Srinakarin Rod Fai Night Market will follow suit and will reopen next week:

I received this from Qatar Airways today. It's all very preliminary, but it gives you an idea of what the timetable is for moving forward over the next couple of months. Encouraging news, I would say. 

Gents,
 
For those with a hankering for real deal Japanese while in the Big Mango, I highly recommend Ten Sui on Sukhumvit 16. The restaurant is in its own house with a large courtyard/garden. Step into the property and you feel like you are in Japan. They have regular seating and tatami rooms. Note: this is a high level joint and priced accordingly for some things, but I would match the quality against just about any Japanese I have eaten outside Japan itself.
 
They cover all the basic Japanese "sub-cuisines" and specialize in Kaizeki and v. fresh sashimi/sushi. Those two will set your wallet back - you are starting at 3000 baht for Kaizeki or 2300 baht for Sashimi for 2 ppl. They are constantly changing the specials with the seasons and the ingredients are of highest quality.
 
HOWEVER, more staple dishes like assorted tempura (B350), Miso Cod/grilled salmon (B380/280), udon/soba (B250) and others are much more reasonable (relative to Western or Hong Kong prices and even the rising prices in Bangkok HiSo restaurants).
 
The lunch sets are a great option - starting from 330 baht you have a wide choice of lots of very good and very filling lunch sets.
 
As a high end place slacks, shoes, collared shirt are necessary.
 
As a comparison, I would rate this place far higher than the Japanese in JW Marriott (Tsu & Nami) at similar or lower pricing levels.

I am going to come to Thailand for the first time next month, and I was looking for fun things to do (aside from mongering). The Enigma theater in the Siam Paragon Theater Complex seems like it would be a lot of fun, but I am looking for a bit more information than my search-fu could turn up. Hopefully you guys can help me.
 
1) It appears that the price for the enigma theater is 3,000 baht- is that for the pair of you, or each?
 
2) From what I have read, they serve food and drinks, as well as popcorn. One site said one cocktail was complimentary, but made no mention of prices for the food and drinks, what should I expect to pay in addition to the price for admission?
 
3) Would a LB "friend" be accepted/allowed into the theater? I know some hotels don't allow them, and I wouldn't want the poor girl to lose "face" and be denied service. I am aware that a LB in such a place will probably draw stares or disapproval, and I am okay with that, though I could opt for a pretty GG if it's just too much socially.
 
Thank You in advance!

madison had asked this question....I havent seen the answer...very interested in her, but good thing to know
 
is her tool also close to 6 feet tall?

Where is that German bar/ restaurant that a few BMs go to? I love German wheat beer. What sort of food do they serve there?

How is Tee in the sack? She has a lot of ads in craigslist and she does look quite hot. Apparently, she can give a decent massage too. I might give her a try in my next visit soon.

We all share a common number one reason for going to Thailand, but the delectable LB delicacies aside, I find Thai to be among the most delicious cuisine in the world. It is up there among my strongest excuses for going to Thailand and remaining in Bangkok. However, it is a legitimate reason, and I am wondering what the favorite Thai dishes are of the BMs, and where they like to eat, particularly around Sukhumvit and Nana.
 
Daytime?
 
Late night?
 
Street food is often the cheapest and the the best. In my time around Sukhumvit, I have found the food arcade that sets up around Soi 1 offers a variety of decent food at good prices. I am sure there are better spots, let's hear about them!
 

 
Not sure what these raamen-like soups were, but they were awesome.
 

 

 
My favorite Thai dishes:
 
1. Pad See-Ew (phat si io)
 
2. Khao Pad Goong... or any Khao Pad
 
3. Curries
 
4. Tom Yum
 
5. Lad na
 
6. Who doesn't enjoy a good Pad Thai?
 
7. Should I try papaya salad?
 
The nice thing about meeting gurls is that they are hungry esp after boom boom! and they usually know good places to go to replenish their energy! On my last trip, I hooked up with a LB from Isaan and we went to eat at a place she liked, with good Isaan food.
 

 
Does anyone remember Ploy from the old GB? Aside from eating each other's goodies, we ate out a couple times at a spot she liked off the beaten path... I want to say it was up around the soi 20's or 30's but a ways off of Sukhumvit definitely on the even number side...
 

 
Don't remember what the food was she liked, but it was spicy!
 
 

The pic looks like a good place to eat. Talking about the girl on the right on pic with nice hot dog.

Being a Sushi fan here is a must do in the area - http://www.isaotaste.com/

Shinsen Fish market www.shinsenfishmarket.com has an incredible choice of sushi. Expensive but they have all sorts of discounts, even one if you add them to your LINE account. Not on Sukhumvit though but on Soi Sukhumvit 39, in between Sukhumvit and Petchaburi roads.

Tsu at Marriott Soi 2 sukhumvit. Use eatigo app to get 40-50% off.

the pub opesite soi nana has a good guinnesspotpie

If you want a great Thai meal, just ask your LB to take you to her favorite place.
2 of my LB friends from Cascade took me for a late dinner after work, it was a street vendor /restaurant on Suk opposite Guess2, excellent meals & so cheap too!
 

I preferred to eat a little down Soi 4 at this place called "Busstop", food was good, but actually it was one of the waitresses who got my attention , nice place anyway.

Hello Angelo!
If you are walking down Soi Nana, walk past Nana plaza 20 meters and you have a restaurant on your left hand side that have good prized western food, (im sorry that I can´t remember the name).
Also If you walk the other way and turn the corner and walk down Sukhumvith one block, you will find Landmark Hotel, they have a pub down stairs with great priced food as well as a good priced buffeé in their restaurant on the reception floor.
Walking further down Sukhumvit, you turn in to Soi 8, where you find a very good indian restaurant in the first block, a great European/American/ Asian restaurant in the bottom on the hotel on the right hand side on the third or forth block and crossing the streat, some really great food in the Stable lodge hotel.
If you instead cross Sukhumvith Road and walk down on the uneven numbered side you will find a great italian restaurant and an Irish-American one as well in the second block. A bit further down you have a Subway shop with great sandwishes on the corner of Soi 7/1, and on the second block from that another Italian restaurant.
Turning in on Soi 7/1 you have a hotel on the right hand side with a great barbeque on their porch, exelent prices and superb food.

thanks for your advices..
Angelo

Sounds like a great option,especially if you wake up late and miss breakfast(like we all do!!).

From a tip in the Stickman site went to the Hotel Ibis for their lunch buffet. Ordinarily I am not enthused about buffets due to a tendency to overeat and to the dismal state of some of the food on the steam tables at some buffets. But this buffet was huge, primarily Thai, very well maintained, and a terrific value at 199 Bht including tea or coffee (serve yoursef). The Ibis is down Soi 4 two or three blocks from NEP on the left side.

I saw this today concerning Covid testing at Vienna's airport for arriving passengers. It will cost 190 Euros (US $200 or so), results will be available in 3 hours and if you test negative you can avoid a 14 day quarantine in Austria. You can also present a cert from your prior point of departure if it's no older than 4 days. I am guessing something like this will be the standard for immigration at BKK and other airports around the world. I hope so, because I know nobody wants to do a 14 day quarantine on arrival. Sounds great, too bad it will cost $$$. The Wuhan virus is a gift that keeps on taking, taking, taking.

Four more stations will be opening in June 2020 as the existing Sukhumvit green line will be extended from Kasetsart University (North 13 / N13) to Wat Phra Si Mahathat (N17).
