    A+ here too.
    Trump is spreading half fake news here.
    Yes Azithromycin + chloroquine have been effective on small scales with very ill people. Effects have been moderate at best.
    Much better medication will be found in the next few months.

    Would you want to take meds that could potentially make you sicker (both meds have side effects) when tested only on small samples?
    Think of how ill you would need to be for that to sound like a good option.

    Some extra info that I found out yesterday, J&J has a HIV vaccine in fase 3 of testing, primary results are looking good. (sorry if this is general knowledge, I didn't know)

    Firefox is likely your issue, simplest solution is to just browse this site with Safari. It will also help with you not being tracked by ad networks for adult content on Firefox, so won't influence any personalised campaigns if you use FF browser for normal browsing and safari for your adult browsing. You can reset your advertising ID which ad networks use to track your browser visits and sell to advertisers to reset your personalised ads too.

    Thai food is fantastic. 
    I love the fried prawns in garlic served at Nara at Siam Paragon. 
    Also the Meing Kham at Baan Khanita on Sukhumvit, soi 43 (I think), is just incredible.

    Yeah that's very true. Plenty of guys here are what I call femboys which is probably a looser term than on this board, they wear makeup and a girl's hair style is all, but this is a fluid as the seasons in Northern climates, Thais have 10 descriptions for different types of gays though farangs only have LBTQI.
    When I think ladyboy, I mean dress and act like a girl, not a guy in drag, but a guy who lives life as a girl. My experience here leads me to believe the bar scene most familiar with board, is but a tiny % of those who are around the country. While I do know ladyboys in professional jobs, and some that are self employed, most are employed in the services/sales industry so probably more forward facing as that's the type of industry that suits that type of outgoing person too.

    Thanks reacted to oliver17 in Hiv In Ladyboy Scene   
    The real question is how is it determined who is transsexual and what criteria was used for the determination. Does that just mean people who simply self-identify as trans,  or does it mean people who have started hormones and/or surgery, or people who are living full time as opposite sex but don't use hormones, or does it mean all of the above combined? I have always been skeptical of numerical figures presented by experts about gender ID and sexual behavior. You never know what the criteria they used when they did their calculations.

    PrEP is the way to ease your mind if you are concerned. Preliminary studies show that 2 pills 2-24h before (unprotected) anal sex and 1 pill a day the next two days gives the same protection as every day use (6 days a week provides full protection). It's a no-brainer. 
    The awareness of treatment amongst p4p workers in Bkk seems to be better than in Pattaya, perhaps due to all the organizations that visit the bars to inform of sexual health. As many is in treatment with no viral load, several of the high earning are on PrEP as well as some of the customers the number will eventually go down.

    All good tips guys. 
    I'd like to add a very traditional Som tam restaurant right by phloen chit.
    Madam Somtum
    888/19 Phloen Chit Rd, Khwaeng Lumphini, Khet Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330, Thailand

    Sorry I didn't take any pictures but there are some available on the Google page. I have eaten here twice the som tam is excellent, made to your preference of spiciness, the grilled pork neck is heavenly the kind of melt in your mouth levels of tenderness. My personal favourite though was the Tom Yam pork bone, the creme de la creme of Tom Yam if you ask me, and here it is spectacular. It's a thai restaurant so expect a certain level of spiciness, stuffed my face here at lunch twice and not for more than 300 baht.

    I don't know about you, but I find street addresses in Thailand confusing...
    For example, house number 10 might be located right next to house number 64, which doesn't make any sense to me...
    Also, Sukhumvit Soi 22 for example isn't really near Soi 21... And Soi 7 isn't the same as Soi 7/1....
    Even taxi drivers who are unfamiliar with a certain area seem to struggle to find the destination quickly. I therefore often print out the location map of a hotel and give it to the driver.
    One feature in Google maps that can help you  save time finding a specific place in Bangkok are plus codes.
    Plus codes work just like street addresses. You can use a plus code to find or share a place on Google Maps.
    Plus codes consist of the short code and the name of the locality (e.g. city). Example:
      PHP3+M7 Short Code   Bangkok, Thailand Locality  
    Example for Android devices:
    If you enter:
    PHP3+P7 Bangkok
    in the search box of Google Maps you'll be directed to an address in Bangkok.
    If you're near the address, for example in the same district, you don’t have to include the locality code.
    To find the plus code for a place on an Android phone, you open Google Maps and touch and hold a place to drop a pin on Google Maps.
    At the bottom, you tap the place of interest to you. Then scroll down to find the plus code, such as PHP3+P7 Bangkok, Thailand. 
    These plus codes are particularly useful in places with addresses that are not easily located through conventional descriptors like street names or house numbers. That's half of the world's urban population BTW...
    Taxi drivers in Bangkok often use Google Maps. If you give them the short code, you might get quicker to your destination...

    Thanks reacted to marlowe in Centre Point Sukhumvit soi 10   
    I have stayed at the Centre Point Soi 10. While it is not up to the standard of the 5 star Grand Centre Point Hotels it is very reasonably priced and that is a big plus. The 1 bedroom suites are very large and surprisingly well appointed with a Living Room, a full Kitchen and a balcony. Talk about a place to party and entertain girls; this place is it. The hotel is guest friendly. I brought back multiple girls on several occasions and no one cared. The lobby is small and unpretentious, but the pool is nice.
    The Hotel is located at the far end of Soi 10 in a very quiet location. There is a back door entrance onto Benjakitti Park which is great for morning walks before it gets too hot. It takes about 8 minutes to walk from the hotel to Sukhumvit although the hotel provides caddy service for its guests back and forth every 30 minutes until around 10:30 pm. 
    I also like the Fraser Suites Hotel on Soi 11 which costs a little more, but since the Fraser is on Soi 11 near nightclubs it is both a little more convenient, but also in a lot noisier location. Both hotels are good values. I pay around $65 / night at Centre Point Soi 10 and around $85/night at the Fraser for similar size 1 BR suites. (I book way in advance of a trip whenever I spot a good deal.) I would rather spend my money on girls than hotels.
