OneTrueSaxon reacted to KendoUK in Top English Breakfast/Fry up places
For Thai food, I'd recommend Suda.
It's in a little side road opposite Terminal 21, very reasonably priced. Always a bit of a "TripAdvisor darling" type of place. Like most places, they were on their arse during the pandemic but starting to pick up again now. I remember going there to eat in 2020 just after restaurants had been allowed to reopen again and the owner and staff were so happy to see me, like they hadn't seen a customer in a while. Very popular with tourists, but not so much the locals.

If you're staying around Asok area, a few I'd recommend
Red Lion - Soi 13. They do a build your own breakfast option for a cpl of hundred baht, choose 6-7 items
Sportsman - Soi 13. Best Sports bar in BKK imho, they have 2 different Full English options, one of them is pretty big.
Bullys - Between Soi 2-4 on Sukhumvit Rd. Recently reopened in a smaller unit, well kitted out though. Haven't tried breakfast yet but the other food has been decent.
If you go one stop further on the BTS to Phrom Pong, you've got Royal Oak and Robin Hood as well.

I'm constantly amused by those who fret over how others choose to spend their money.

OneTrueSaxon reacted to oliver17 in Best Hotel with Balcony & Pool Bar
Actually, Galleria 10 does have balconies on lower floors. Below pic is from a few years ago. We were on the 2nd floor (1st floor UK) as I recall.
Galleria 10 is a perfectly good hotel with good proximity to CIB, but there are better hotel options in that area. For instance, Adelphi Suites on Soi 8 is also a 5 minute walk from CIB and there are several restaurants, laundries and legit massage places within a stones throw. On Soi 13 is Radisson / In Residence, which has balconies and a large, fine pool on the roof. It's a 7 or 8 minute stroll from CIB.

OneTrueSaxon got a reaction from oliver17 in Best Hotel with Balcony & Pool Bar
The only Hotel I can think of with both a swimming pool (small pool just a bit bigger than galleria 10) and a balcony that I’ve stayed at is @Mind Suites in On Nut where I’ve stayed a few times, taking a one bedroom suite.
Here’s my review from the hotel section

Not sure I’d call it a pool as it was more like a bath last time I stayed there.
Decent enough rooms and good location

OneTrueSaxon reacted to Cockster in Best Hotel with Balcony & Pool Bar
Indigo Hotel on Wireless Road, has balconies, beautiful pool upstairs with bar and restaurant above, good gym. Very nice area (opposite US Ambassador’s house).
Guest friendly. Only issue is that it is 10-15mins walk to Soi 4.
I’m going to give Novotel Soi 4 a try this time. Will be interesting to compare.

Yes the pool itself is small, but at night the rooftop turns into a nice bar area with lots of nooks and crannies to sit with your LB and enjoy a quiet evening. That's when it shines.
The downstairs restaurant is small and tends to get overwhelmed with customers at breakfast time.

OneTrueSaxon got a reaction from whiteshirt in Small Bluetooth Speaker
I bought this KS mini speaker about 10 years ago for £8.00 back then and it fits anywhere in a bag as its so small. It would even fit in your pocket . I find it ok for the balcony or the hotel room, but no more than that

OneTrueSaxon got a reaction from felipe555 in Guest Friendly Hotels In Bangkok
Yeah it’s very much ladyboy friendly.
They probably wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if someone walked in with a goat (it is close to the Arab area after all) it’s been an institution for prostitution for nearly 60 years now.

OneTrueSaxon got a reaction from sydney69er in Bully's Restaurant on the main Sukhumvit between soi's 4&2
I have been eating here for quite a few years now and was a bit gutted that they have stopped the Lamb Chops. But the Pork Chops more than made up for it.
Other dishes i have had here include the Rack of Ribs, the Bully's Burger and the Steak
