Watched some news reports about a "riot" between Thai and Filipino ladyboys the other week that took place on Soi 11. Seems to be some sort of turf war between them. Be careful out there!

There are close to a dozen massage places near the Tai Pan Hotel. Do you happen to know the name of the shop? If not, if it is close to any landmark like the British Pub or the Whiskgars cigar bar?...

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Your experience is similar to what I had heard of the last few years as the costs are much higher and takes much longer to manufacture. Thanks again for...

I appreciate your suggestion and will look into it the next time I am in BKK!

I bought a lot of good Nikon frames 15 years ago on Ebay and use those. Unfortunately, the current availability of lenses in the US seem to be limited and Costco / Sam's Club prices are rather high...

Has anyone had prescription glasses made recently in Bangkok? Years ago, glasses were cheap to get made in Thailand. I was looking at replacing the lenses in my current glasses and was wondering if...

I appreciate the detailed info!

Tramadol is classified as the same as most opiate drugs that need a doctor's prescription in most cases. It is a mild opiate, but I would be very surprised if it was available as an over the counter...

I would not recommend Soi 11 anymore. For two decades it was my go to location. I use to stay at the Grand President, but it got run down and the owners did not renovate the rooms. The current owners...

I appreciate the first hand account of your experience at the Jasmine City. I hope it will be available when I get my air confirmed. Thanks again!

After having enough of Soi 11, I am looking at Jasmine City on Soi 23 and Emporium Suites on Soi 24. Has anyone stayed at either of these hotels and what are the comments and recommendations of...

The comments I get from many locals and tourists seem to all note that there is significant ladyboy presence on Soi 11 recently. Speculation is that there is some thing that has triggered this...

The best cure is not taking a chance of a screaming ladyboy trying to extort you after a long flight. Two alternatives for anyone the next time in a major hotel in BKK. First, if you don't have a...

"Family Friendly" is subject to differing interpretations. Going back to the early 2000's, Soi 11 was not known as budding redlight district. Efforts were even trending to clean up the Soi when they...

Arrived a few days ago. Late flight arrived couple of hours late and went to my usual hotel on Soi 11. At 2:30 am the traffic was horrendous. The new beer bars and street walkers have transformed Soi...

Does anyone know how the new restaurants are on Soi 11? I see that there is a new Jamacian restaurant and a Moon Muum restaurant near Oskar. My favorite Mexican restaurant next to Oskar is now gone...

How are the English language selections on the Asiana flights? I don't go to the movies now days and watch most of the "current" movies on airlines. Most of the time I just read a book or listen to...

Thanks again for the detailed description of what to expect at Inchon. Changing planes in any new airport with a short connection can give someone old like me a heart attack! Getting stuck at an...

Thanks for all the detail info on connecting in Inchon. Both flights are on Asiana, so I am hoping the connections will be close by. As for my mileage status with United, it really boils down to...

I really appreciate the detailed info on the airline and lounge. I got a million mile status on United and a lifetime Red Carpet membership, so I am stuck with United until I die. I don't travel much...

How does Asiana compare to United or Thai Air? This is my first time using Asiana. I got a FF ticket and long layover as well.

The Radisson is on Soi 13, not 11.

A more expensive alternative would be to rent a hotel near the airport and call for an escort. Far less hassles and less worry about getting back to make your flight. Traffic in BKK can be very bad...

I have been going there since 1989. The owner, Jerry, has done about 10 suits for me and a lot of shirts and pants. GREEN APPLE TAILORS, ARNOMA GRAND Hotel Lobby (Opposite CENTRAL WORLD), 99...

Appreciate the response!
