You may not even get to BBK. When I depart from the USA, the airline checks the expiration date on my passport before issuing my ticket.

I usually tip THB 100 per day.

I have never stayed in a hotel in Bangkok that did not add 17.7% to the bill, a ten percent service charge and 7.7% VAT.

I commend you for tipping the maid who cleans your room. I recommend you...

These Thai men are pimps and the women are prostitutes. Prostitutes take money from the johns and give it to their pimps / lovers. It's worked that way all over the world since long before any of us...

I've lost count of how many American men I've known who had financial problems that led to marital problems with their American wives that ended with divorces. Women marry a men for security. When a...

Isn't Maeng Da "pimp" in Thai?

My suggestions are options, but I strongly encourage you to think carefully about W's advice. He knows what he's talking about.

If you do a fair amount of research and arrived with a good idea of...

Chiang Mai is in interesting city to visit, but there is no mongering scene to speak of. Hua Hin is also a nice beach town. It's a popular vacation destination for Thais. Both are places you'd want...

Sorry for not being clearer. Lower Sukhumvit refers to the section of the street with the lower numbered sois, which would be section to the west of Asoke heading towards the Nana station and beyond.

Internet is free at the Sofitel Sukhumvit. You can pay for a high (er) speed connection.

There have been recent online articles about his exploits in Angeles City. He's well-know and well-liked in the AC bars; threw money around; bought rounds for the house.

I seem to recall they disclosed the fee before I made the transaction. I like Citibank because I can make much larger withdrawals, the machines inside and usually a bank employee was present when I...

Good point. I've set a high limit so I could withdraw more than 50 K. I've just never tried to. In the US some banks set the default max limit at US $500, which would limit your maximum withdrawal to...

LBM, AEON also used to let me withdraw 40 K baht with no 150 baht fee. On my last trip, maybe the last 2 trips, they charged the 150 and the limit was 20 or 30 K, I forget which. So I started to use...
