Agreed on the fries.

Levels is very "fancy", they won't let you in looking like a scruff, wear long pants too. An LB took me there a few years before Covid, at that time she told me the bouncers limited LB numbers and her little clique was one of the only groups allowed in. It was 250B a beer back then, dread to think what it is now.... I think they have some kind of promotion on some nights where the girls drink free to try and get more girls in there, not sure if LB's qualify too. If you want a cheap night in there, slap on some lipstick and a nice cocktail dress and try your luck. 

Am setting myself a challenge for the 2nd trip of 2022.
Only going with a carry-on case, no checked luggage.
I don't like all these new reports of luggage going missing all around the world. Shame as I have a 2x 23kg allowance with Cathay Pacific but I don't wanna risk my main case going missing.
So am after any travel or packing hacks you know of.
So far I have found a travel case that weighs only 554 grams and with clothing, footwear,1staid kit and a washbag am currently sitting at 5.85kg.
I will be taking my laptop so I can cram things like chargers,leads,power banks etc in the laptop bag as that never gets weighed.
One hack a friend tells me about is getting a travel neck pillow, taking the stuffing out and cramming small items like socks inside (maybe a t-shirt rolled up also) as that never gets weighed.
Toiletries I usually get when in Thailand but do take my own aftershave and razor. Am thinking when at Heathrow Terminal 3 there is a Boot chemist airside so could get some items there.
Any other tips or hacks I haven't thought of that you know?
 

I would get sick and throw up when I took it.

We stopped vaccinating for smallpox in the west 50 years ago because the disease was erradicated.
Lesser developed countries stopped vaccinating much later than the west.
In Thailand I have seen quite a few younger people with the typical smallpox vaccine scar.
This vaccine works a lifetime and should at least strongly protect against monkeypox.

Ergo.
1. If you are older and still got this vaccine, you really should not worry at all.
2. If (I have no info how many younger people Thailand are innoculated) a decent amount of sexworkers/civilians in Thailand got innoculated, chance of getting infected is very very low when mongering.

As far as I know, Thailand has gotten very few monkeypox cases. Seeing this disease is pretty visible, I don't think there has been a huge underreported outbreak. I read they have 4 cases of which 2 are foreign nationals.

If you come into contact with someone who has obvious blisters, go to the hospital and get vaccinated. The vaccines tend to still have effect when taken after the moment of (possible) infection.
