    Massage places in lower Sukhumvit are more common than 7-11 stores.  Soi 8 has 4 or 5 legit massage houses alone. The smaller places pretty much offer the same services for the same prices (300 baht or so for a Thai massage). A good rule of thumb in finding a legit massage is to look for places staffed with middle-aged Thai ladies instead of 21 year old girls. 

    Below is a place I frequently use when I stay on Soi 8. It's a legit place, reasonably priced. Just tell them what body parts need special emphasis and they will work on them.  There are several other massage houses within spitting distance of this one that offer the same fare.

    I use the same salon Oliver (across Viva cafe) for many years. My masseuse Oy is not there anymore but I had a very good thai massage - 1 hour 300B - in January. I went with a thai lb, we each had our masseuse, and her verdict was : good place.

    Are you member of the Pattaya Forum Dhana ?

    There is a trove of information in the Pattaya forum - as it should be, many expats or would-be expats in this forum - about the process to retire in Thailand. 

    Just type "retirement" or "visa" in the search function/button. Or take a deep look at the "Living in Thailand" topic or in the chit chat one.

    Hi all

    @Mark22 how did you get on with this, and any further feedback for us ?

    A slight twist on your question : I am looking for a decent dental hygienist in Bangkok - ie it’s a good clean I need, not a dental check-up or dental work … do you or any one else here have any tips for that ?

    With thanks in advance

     

    I did get one cleaning in Smile Dental Asoke branch this summer. Very professional. I recommend.

    Big update,

    Flight cancelled :wtf:

    I got an e-mail the other day from Air China telling me the flight from LHR to PEK had been moved to another now later time.

    This meant I would miss the connection to BKK and spend a night in the airport.

    No thanks, I don't think so.:Yuk:

    So after phoning them, I cancelled the whole thing. They have acknowledged the cancellation request and said they will pay it back. Mind you they hadn't taken the money from my card yet.

    I noticed on Skyscanner the flights advertised by them have changed, now 20 hours to BKK instead of 15.

    I would imagine others have been cancelling.

     

     

    It's not only Air China.  Since the end of the Covid crisis, Airline companies twist their schedules and rotations for a number of good and bad reasons (not enough planes, lack of employees, rentability, ...).

    Client not happy ? Cancelling ? They don't care, they make so much money. 2023 will be a great year for the travel industry.

    From IATA (International Air Transport Association) (June 2023) :

    • Airline industry net profits are expected to reach $9.8 billion in 2023 (1.2% net profit margin) which is more than double the previous forecast of $4.7 billion (December 2022).
    • Airline industry operating profits are expected to reach $22.4 billion in 2023, much improved over the December forecast of a $3.2 billion operating profit. It is also more than double the $10.1 billion operating profit estimated for 2022.

    I always use Orange Taxi Service from Pattaya. Last time they charged 1200 THB for single trip from Sukhumvit to Patts

    I used Orange Taxi Service in August. 1200 B including tolls and no problem. Drivers on time, good cars.

    Thank you very much everyone. How long do you think it’s going to take from Sukhumvit to Patts that time of the day? 

    Difficult to tell. If it is an usual week-end you will have all Bangkok going Pattaya on friday afternoon/evening. The Bangkok exit will be difficult, after that it should be an easy drive. On a sunday afternoon it took me 2 hours. For you I would say between 2 and 3 hours. It would be good to get your feedback.

    Anyway you will be there for a great night. Lbs bars : New Bar, Delirious bar, Bon Bar, all the others on Buakhao, Katoeys'r us on WS ... If you have questions ...

    5 or 6 year ago I had a fly to Chengdu on Air China. During the night one lady was watching movies on her tablet. The sound on, without earphones. I stopped a flight attendant : could she ask the lady to put the earphones ? The flight attendant was embarrassed : sorry sir, I can do nothing. People here (cf in China) do as they want.

    The price will have to be very good to choose Air China again.

    I stayed there last trip. Great location and nice cafe area at front but not crazy about it. Annoyed I couldn't smoke in room! Still, could pop out to soi and chat to Sofie and other lb FLers who work out the front. 

    I don't smoke so perfect little hotel for me. Best location, similar to Nana hotel in the heart of action.

    Perfect if you don't need relaxing by a pool or lifting weights. Bar was a plus though I don't know if it has reopened too.

    I do not like this hotel. It is located right next door to ladyboy massage shop at BTS nana. I left it after 2 days and still need to go back and get the rest of my clothes 

     

    1- no one greet or help me with case. annoying boy on check in desk just sits and grins 

     

    2 this is a massive security risk. I lost my keycard so I went to get another and gives my room number. Different Guy on desk charges me give me new card.no name or security check.

     

    I went up to room about to open door and I realise it is not my room  I gave him the wrong number. Turns out I'm not thief,killer or I would have a Field day. Told  the guy on desk and he grinned, didn't even ask for my name or id the second time 

     

    I have left hotel with 3 days still on tick, who knows what you might wake up to. Will be walking back there now to get my case and haul it across road. I wonder if the rooms been raided since I have.been gone

    Thanks for the info.

    Syama reviews on  Booking and Trip are not good to say the least and the hotel has never been discussed here in this forum.

    Can I ask why you chose Syama in the first place ? Location and price ?

    Annual Update

     

    I still have acute HBV it will never be cured but so what, to be honest I feel no different now as I did before it was diagnosed, being tired is down to the fact I am an old fart now and working 84 hours a week is a young mans game, sad cunt ain't I?

     

    If I was to follow medical advice I would have died by boredom by now, "STOP DRINKING" fuck off, if I want to cane 3 bottles of Vodka over a weekend it is up to me, the two cases of beer are just incidental, Northern Vietnam close to the Chinese Border is not a hotbed of excitement but the $ is Good, haha

     

    Biggest problem with HBV is foreign nations perception of it and not issuing Work Permits / Residency Cards hence the reason I end up working in Vietnam at least the commies still love me haha.

    KLW, I know you dont post here anymore but in case sometimes you still lurking I'd like to know how you are now (HBV) and what happened with your wife and son. You were a damned great poster/member.

    let me guess you inspected this page and added this picture to your browser? There is no way this random 2009 post foreshadowing future events lol

    I have nothing to do with the Flag/No War apparition here (and I support the Ukrainian side).

    This Ukrainian flag pic is in the "My First" thread from 2009, you can look at it in Trip Reports.

    I like TRs and I was looking forward to reading the first TR ever published in this forum. It is this one and someone added this flag. Who I don't know. When I don't know.

    I'd like to know what happened. Is it one mod ? Was it a hack ? Just curious.

    Hopeland hotel on soi 8 is where I have booked the rooms look really nice and are quite large with a balcony/bath and half the cost of Landmark. can't say if they are as good as they look on the site as it will be my first time staying there but I think for the price it seems like a good choice.

    Has it been renovated ? In 2019 there were reviews Hope Land hotel was outdated.

    Landmark and Sofitel are great hotels. 

    But for the same prices you will get a much bigger room in Mercure soi 11 or Adelphi Suites soi 8 - I would say 30 sqm / 50 sqm - 

    Depends what you prefer (I prefer the bigger room).

     

    Discreet ???  Are you scared of being seen by someone you know with a ladyboy while coming back to your hotel ? Well ... It can happen. I once met a work mate in Nana Plaza. I didn't know he was in Thailand. I was alone, just coming back from a short time session with a ladyboy in a Nana Plaza short-time room. Hmmm.

    To avoid that :

    - Take a session in the short time room of the bars (Cindy's, CIB, Chaos 9, Why Not all have short time rooms upstairs).

    - Barfine the girl and tell her to be in 30 mins at your hotel. Give her your room number. Come back first to your hotel and tell the receptionist a guest will be there soon and that she can go up to your room.

    - Book a girl with Smooci or another escort agency or Thaifriendly. She will go to your room.

    Looks a little old school, which i love.

    Centara is a colonial style hotel, a wonderful one obviously. The beach, the town. Good services.

    I understand there are also excellent restaurants in Hua Hin, outside the hotel - Everest, indian restaurant, five mins from the hotel, sea-food restaurants in the night market, etc.

    OK. Tips from the 2 threads by different posters.

    Thread Hua Hin : June 2022 :

    Soi Bintabaht is pretty dead but I am sure there is a few massage places with LB's.. Did see a pretty nice looking LB exiting the Hilton one evening so they are around. 

    Soi 84

    Cindy at Saowanee massage and apple salon. This place in Poon Suk road, close to Hilton Hotel. She gave good massage and she definitely good top.

    Puang Pen Villa Hotel. Close to the beach and the nightlife. Nice and clean hotel at an affordable rate and very nice staff.

    Only stayed at the Hilton and centera grand in that part of town but was with company so do not know if either is guest friendly. As mentioned before I did spot a good looking ladyboy leave the Hilton a few weeks back so they do allow guests but I don't know if you have to pay a fee

    have stayed at the Hilton & the Centara next door, great hotels on the beach & worth the splurge if it's within your remit.

    Only stayed the 1 night at the Centara. There was a big golf tournament going on so most rooms were booked so it cost £110 a night this was last month. probably cheaper now. The breakfast buffet had everything you could concievably wish for and was all you can eat. Grounds are nice and historical. Definatly worth doing at least once.     If staying for a week or more it's worthwhile upgrading to the 'club' option (or whatever they call it these days!)...this gives you a more private breakfast area with special chef prepared meals such as eggs benedict, all day snacks, light meals in the evening & the happy hour 5-7pm..

    From thread 2019 : 

    I stayed at Anchan hotel and spa, nice place but not the cheapest and Patty stayed over so ladyboy friendly.

    Alin Hua Hin soi 57 just opposite Poon Suk Road. I've seen Alin 6 or 7 times now and she never disappoints. If your looking for super feminine look elsewhere, but if you want a good pounding a great massage and excellent take care then read on. Alin9955 on TF.
