Hey @gottalove, there's a recent thread here:
I had initially booked at the hotel just because it was right next to CIB 10, but decided against it.
Though the rooms look quite nice, I'd say the space is small, and I feel that price-wise, you'll find bigger rooms elsewhere.
During my stay in Bangkok, I opted for a bigger room at the Solitaire on Soi 11, which at the time, wasn't as expensive as booking at Hotel 433.

Hey @GeordieG, I use EnjoyTaxiBangkok for my trips
https://www.enjoytaxibangkok.com/transferrates
It's 1700 baht from Bangkok to Pattaya. They can pick you up from Pattaya to go back to Bangkok but you'll need to let them know in advance.
I've always found them reliable, their 'Big Taxi' transport is comfortable, and their drivers are friendly and don't drive like maniacs.GeordieG reacted to this -
I'm not an expert to ED medication (I had to google Vigour 800) but I used Apcalis (Tadalafil) on my last two trips to Pattaya when I needed it.
It worked well for me and I didn't experience the same side effects that I hear you get when using Kamagra oral jelly or Sidegra.shaved_penis79 reacted to this -

I've only been to one ST hotel and it was the Atlas Hotel when I messaged a ladyboy on Grindr in the early morning.
It was very clean, no issues using it for ST.FarangJaiNgay reacted to this -
Hey @Genghis, I would recommend Molino on Soi 11. I went there once last year for dinner, excellent food and cocktails.

The new 'Destination Thailand Visa' is tempting me to move to Thailand. (while my new house in NZ becomes an investment property and I can rent it out).
The only thing is I need is to find an employer that will let me work remotely from Thailand. (my current employer would not be open to me working remotely from Thailand).
I know a previous employer of mine (working in software) with whom I had a positive working relationship has employees working in the Philippines working at their timezone (they don't need to work NZ/AUS hours) so I'm so tempted to reach out for a role but see if they'll allow to work from Thailand.
The video will explain some of the concerns around the VISA if anyone is interested to watch and has been thinking about making the move as well.

I'm not sure if this will apply to anyone on the forum but as someone who has shown some interest to becoming a remote worker in Thailand, this is a welcome change.
Though I'm not planning to take advantage of this now, I'm glad that the Thai government has considered this for digital nomads or remote workers.
What prevented me for becoming a digital nomad was having to do 'visa runs'
QuoteThe Thailand multiple entry visa for digital nomads is for remote workers and freelancers who wish to stay in Thailand for an extended period of time during a five-year period.
The visa, while valid for five years, allows stays of up to 180 days per entry into Thailand.
It’s important to understand that this visa does not allow digital nomads to live in Thailand for the entirety of the five years. This is not a residence visa, but a tourist visa.
During one of these stays, those who hold the Thailand multiple entry visa for digital nomads may extend their stay by 180 days just once during the five-year visa term.

3 hours ago, Harley_Rider said:What's the dress code for these nightclubs?
Thanks
For nightclubs like Sugar and Levels on Soi 11, it's smart casual dress code. Flip flops, sandals, sportswear, hoodies, vests, snap backs, baseball caps and shorts are not allowed.

I'm thinking of doing something different this time by heading to the nightclubs after barfining a few girls or ladyboys for the rest of the night.
Normally I would either go straight to the hotel and get food from Grab if we're both a bit hungry but I feel I want to stay out alot later than I usually do.
I do also head to another ladyboy bar but I find the atmosphere is a bit different as the ladies don't interact as much (I guess if you've barfined someone else from another bar, they steer clear of you and your companion)
I'm thinking of trying the nightclubs like Levels and Sugar Club on Soi 11 and wanted to ask for most of these clubs, do you have to buy a bottle to get a table?
I don't mind the entrance fees but paying close to 4000 baht for a bottle is pricey just for a table.
If there's any other activities or bars or restaurants near the ladyboy bars like Havana Social, let me know. -
I'm not sure if this the specific work you're referring to but I found this on their website.
Posted on“We are excited to announce that with our ongoing commitment to improving the hotel’s facilities and services, we will be renovating several restaurants at the hotel. The Atrium, our all day dining restaurant located off our lobby, the Greenhouse Noodle and Congee restaurant and outdoor Terrace both located on the ground level will undergo a complete transformation to provide an even more amazing dining experience at these popular restaurants. During the period of June 10th to November 30th, breakfast will be served at the award winning Rib Room & Bar Steakhouse located on the 31st floor. All other services remain fully operational and we thank you in advance for your support and understanding.”

Yeah, that's true Oliver.
I would be also be keen to head to the parties on Christmas Eve at LLB (since I missed it last time). It looked like a big event.
And it's close proximity to Cindy's so would head there if Cindy and Singter are hosting another party this year.

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.
Yeah, agreed. Airlines are making so much profit over a huge uptake in travel and they're milking money with what they're charging for flights.
Thai Airways re-scheduled my flight from Singapore to Bangkok on Christmas Eve and unfortunately that re-scheduled flight wouldn't had worked for me as I'd miss the flight once I arrive in Singapore.
So I have to take a later flight (so stuck in Singapore for a bit longer) so instead of arriving at 6pm on Christmas Eve, I arrive at 10.30pm in the evening. It wasn't my plan to arrive in Bangkok too late in the evening for the Christmas parties.
Not as bad as Knobby's experience with Air China though.

I didn't want to say anything, but the AI images gave it away and the day @SAGuy posted this.
I do recall the classic April Fools joke about Milky getting 1,000 cc implants
If there was a WNB 04 April fools joke for this year, I would have expected a joke about Atom somewhere.....
