It is only a one hour flight so I am pretty flexible. Plenty of other places to stay if I can't get a room.

Make sure to check availability soon, since I checked for my trips later this year and both periods were fully booked already! 

The Dawin verandah must have the best free LB show in BKK, especially if Dew and Suzie are working! Quite a few mongers just order in, as I have seen many girls take the walk across the street after receiving a text message. It adds a new spin to Uber Eats and Deliveroo! SAG

The Darwin is penciled in for the next trip just to visit Why Not. Hope I don't get lost leaving the bar.

If you walk into the Trendy Building on Sukhumvit Soi 13, there is probably the greatest concentration of visa agents under one roof in the whole of BKK. I have used the agent in the shop on the right hand side as you walk in through the main door. It is about 3 shops in and is manned by 2 Thai ladies. They do all kinds of admin services (all visa types, drivers licenses, bank accounts, photocopying, scans, attestations etc.) and have always been highly efficient. Costs wise they appear to be charging the standard rates for the various services, so I would recommend starting with them. The older lady has very good English and knows all of the ins and outs. SAG
