    sydney69er got a reaction from whiteshirt in Dentist recommendations please   
    My dentist in Sydney told me I had to have root canal treatment on a tooth which was going to cost A$2500. I saw prices in Thailand were about 8000 Baht, A$250.
    I went to a dentist in Phuket, he walked in, looked like he was about 18 years old. He didn't say hello or introduce himself, just said what you want. I told him about my dentist wanting to do root canal. He looked at the tooth for a few seconds and said no, I extract it and give you implant. BS! I walked out, went back to Sydney and forked out the $2500 to have a professional do it!
    If you can find a good professional dentist in Thailand then it will save you a ton of money but good luck! I am sure there are some but plenty of shonky dentists there.

    I stay very close to Soi 11, so working through the huge selection of restaurants.
    Had a Pork Katsu Burger at Artisan Craft Burgers, just a few doors down from Bang Bang Burgers (which I prefer) across the road from Hillary 11. The pork burger for 330Bant, not cheap, was so so. Nice slab of deep fried pork and some coleslaw which was pretty tasteless. I might go back and try their classic beef burger but plenty more restaurants to try

    At BKK there are 2 taxi queues, 1 for standard taxi and 1 for large taxis for groups, usually minibus for large groups but they will handle any large luggage.

    My info. might be out of date as it was around 10 years ago I stayed there,but as there were no replies I thought it might help.
    I stayed there with my ex-girlfriend(Not LB!),at that time it was more expensive than the rates you were quoted.It was over 3,000 baht per night.
    The room was spacious, with a nice bed an furniture. At that time its Indian restaurant was one of the best in BKK.I Don't know about now.Short walk to the BTS.
    BUT.......The one thing you should check before booking is if it is joiner free/friendly.At that time it wasn't joiner friendly.My ex was ok because she checked in with me.
    For a definite answer, Send them an email and make sure you'll be ok taking LBs/GGs back......What's the point in staying there if you can't!!!!!
    As I said before , my info (hopefully) is out of date.Hope this helps

    sydney69er got a reaction from chukarman in Little Tokyo in Bangkok - Soi Thaniya Great Japanese food   
    When I was in Bangkok back in July, I visited Soi Thaniya in Silom, which is only 300 meters down from Patpong Road. Amazing how many times I had been to Patpong but didn't know about this place they refer to as 'Little Tokyo' or 'Little Japan' due to the entire street being lined with awesome Japanese restaurants, from Japanese BBQ, sushi, ramen shops and plenty of others. An entrance to BTS SkyTrain Sala Daeng station is just on the corner of Soi Thaniya.
    I just visited during the day for lunch but heard it is lit up like the streets of Tokyo at night. I just had a ramen noodle soup at a restaurant called Uchidaya Ramen. 270 baht for their Kyushu Tonkotsu 'Special' ramen. Best ramen I have ever eaten!
    If you love Japanese food then put this on your list of places to visit in Bangkok. Go there for dinner, then head down to Patpong to pick up your dessert.
    They do have some girlie bars here, located in the top floors above the restaurants at street level. I heard they are very much like the 'hostess bars in Tokyo'. These places cater to Japanese business men. I heard like in Japan, they pay a fee for a girl to sit with them and laugh at their jokes, tell them how wonderful they are and pour their drinks. I been to a few hostess bars in Tokyo and never saw the point of them as you can't bar fine the girls there in Tokyo but I believe you can bar fine the ones in Bangkok but at ridiculous Japanese prices, something like 5000 - 6000 Baht. Screw that! Get down to Patpong to pick up what you fancy for the night, GG or LB at proper Bangkok prices.
    Definitely worth a visit if you love Japanese food.

    Premium rooms are small but efficient. Lots of hot water, toiletries, etc. Pool is good size. Can even do lengths if you like. Lots of lounge chairs with umbrellas for shade. I walked in very recently, hand in hand, with a very well known ladyboy (to this forum) in street casual clothes. No one batted an eye. Not sure what would happen if you showed up with a 6 ft glamazon in a sequin dress.

    sydney69er got a reaction from ARI23 in Best hotel in Bangkok if money is no issue.   
    I rate Hyatt Regency, not as the best hotel but the best location (for mongers), on corner of Soi 13 Sukhumvit. Price around 7000 THB per night depending on season. I have seen it cheaper but 7K seems to be the average. Suites go for 13,000 THB per night. Great buffet breakfast, nice swimming pool and gym on level 6 and very cool rooftop bar. I have stayed at Park Hyatt (over 16,000Thb per night for standard room) which was very nice but not the same awesome location as Hyatt Regency.
    Hyatt Regency is a very nice 5 star hotel. 1 minutes walk to Soi 11 with heaps of restaurants to choose from, and Cindy's Secret.
    450 meters - 4 minutes walk to Check-in Bar. 8 minutes walk to Nana Entertainment Plaza, 9 minutes walk to Soi Cowboy. 2 minutes walk to Nana BTS if you want to venture out around Bangkok.
    Street walkers (GG and LB) right out the front most nights.
    When I stay there I very rarely venture further than 450 meters!
    Or Sofitel, just on next block past Soi 13. I have not stayed there but still great location.

    Hello everybody, 
    I subscribe on this forum long time ago, but with jobs and covid i didn't have anytime to go back to Thailand.
    I had only 2 experiences with ladyboys, maybe 3... I lived during 3 years in Latin America, but transexuals from here were never attractiv for me. (or very very few)
    Will be in Thailand in the end of this month (BKK, Phuket, Pattaya) and hope to really meet and have ST and LT with nice ladyboys.

    I saw a special on sale yesterday here in Aus. The Pullman. Think it was $479 AUD for 3 nights. That is cheap for a hotel of that standard.

    When I landed early afternoon last Friday the arrivals area was extremely busy. I didn’t have too much of a difficulty navigating things though. My only issue was that I didn’t change any money near the baggage claim. A. It was too busy and B. I thought I read that there were better rates on the lower level. But once I got to the taxi level I couldn’t find any exchanges and my bank card didn’t work in the ATMs. Luckily I had enough THB in my pocket from last trip to pay the taxi
