I touched on this subject last week:

IMO it depends on how much of a stickler the immigration officer is. On the immigration form you had to fill out and present upon arrival at BKK one of the...

In my case: the hotel I stay at in Bangkok offers a 10% discount for 15+ day stays, and a 20% discount for 30+ day stays. I used to have to get creative with my entries and departures to achieve the...

The first sentence of the article says:

"The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has approved longer visas for foreign visitors to the country from Oct 1 until March 31".

And on the seventh day, you rested?

Back then you could RTFF and actually find quite a bit of useful information and actionable intel.

Now a days the forums are increasingly cluttered with jive talk, smack talk, combative alter...

The gal I occasionally see in Farangland to take the edge off comps closest to the Tulip ladies: both in age / looks and activities. So comparing her Farangland pricing to the Bangkok scene is as...

This link might be of help: https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/step?language=en.

To my novice interpretation it says:

1) Apply for a Certificate of Entry (COE).

After the COE is processed:...

The 'scene is not what it used to be' is a common veteran monger refrain. It is the same here on the Thailand board. Generally stated: quality down, prices up, options diminished. Over on the FKK...

Not sure where that came from. I have dozens of trips to Holland under my belt. As for tourist traps: I never experienced any in the NL, but they likely exist wherever mongering exist. Hazard of the...

I think any discussion of best mongering destinations needs to include The Netherlands. Amsterdam has 3 RLD's and multiple Prive Houses (brothels) to choose from, and there is some action to be found...

I am one of those 24+ hours away guys. A few reasons I can think of:

1) Weather: Thailand is among the warmest places on earth in January and February. 95 degrees F is mighty appealing when it is...

Your snark is wholly unnecessary Mr. E but no hard feelings though; as I believe people should do what they enjoy the most.

If you are in Bangkok next week let me know, and I will buy you a drink....

If you are in a car accident in Thailand you yourself are injured. But if you carry the nCoV home with you there is a risk of infecting your family, friends, acquaintances, and work colleagues. Not...

My take: It is recommended by the manufacturers that pharmaceutical products be stored within a range of moderate room temperatures. How do you believe the street vendors store their product? And for...

There are plenty of airlines I will not fly. There are plenty of countries I will not transit. It does somewhat limit my options to and from Thailand, but IMO you got to stick with your convictions....

This is a good suggestion for a quick and frugal meal. No ++ pricing. Tell them you want water (found in pitchers on the counter) it is unlimited and free. Luxuriate in the air conditioning and...

Appropriate footware for the rural provences or the beach, but IMO not for the streets of downtown Bangkok. FWIW the Thai people consider the feet to be the dirtiest part of the body, because they...

Chareon is closing 90% of the shelves are empty. They are just selling down the last of the inventory.

Last month I conducted a fairly extensive survey of pharmacy's (two dozen probably) from...

I think you should be ok. The election is scheduled for Sunday March 24th, and I can't imagine a nightlife and / or alcohol ban being imposed for more than a week. Close though.

Tuesday 2/19 is a religious holiday in Thailand. I believe it will be 'dry' day, meaning most bars will close midnight on the 18th, and *might* open at midnight on the 19th. Some venues will skirt...

General consensus is that Superrich1965 and Vasu have the highest rates for currency exchange. I also use the money changers on Soi Arab as they are in the same ballpark. As of this writing the USD /...
