After an excruciating 22 hour flight I reached BkK and by the time I came I reached hotel near nana, it was 3 am.

Had couple of drinks (that I got from Airport).

Slept till 1:30 pm and headed out at 2:30 pm.

Was a tiring flight and got an amazing aroma Thai Message at Bai Po.

600 TB and she surely removed couple of knots.

Went to Soi Cowboy at 7:30 pm. Probably was too early, chicks were 6-7.

Hit Nana at 10 pm and bar fined a sexy chick from Mandarin Bar around 12 am.

Paid 4. 5 K TB including Bar fine. (Obviously was a rip off as I am an 'Indian' American).

This chick came and we had amazing fun for about 30 minutes. Including RIM, BBBJ, and hell even she was ready to do without cover.

Better sense prevailed and I used see but couldn't finish in her. So finally I asked her to blow me and did CIM.

After this (12:45 am) she complained of headache, and said wanted to sleep. Probably an usual trick of theirs and I let her sleep and even gave her a Tylenol 😂.

She popped it in and probably felt better and said I will go pick up few things from Bar and come back for sure and will stay till 6.

She gave me line ID and left. I was counting on her to come back (rookie mistake).

She later texts me and says mamasan said only 3 hours and that she finished it. What a BS and I fell for it.

Obviously no response after that. Lesson learnt the hard way.

Girl said she was 24. She looked like one. Probably k would rate 7-8.

Fit body but boobs were a little saggy. I could sense baby damage but she had a huge tattoo there.

I met another chick later and she said I just complain to mamasan tomorrow. But not sure if it is a wise idea.

Will call it a day!

Short time is the key to fun adventures.

You arent an Indian American, or an Indian. Use that American passport, that's your ticket. You might get overcharged over that, but that's because you are "rich".

That 22 hours sounds like Atlanta to BKK via Korea. Thats a rough 15 hour pop to Seoul. THen you get in at 1 am. Then you screw around getting out of the airport. Don't see a bed till dawn, uggg.

If she was a REAL 7. 5 and you got her for 4. 5 including barfine you got a Steal of the Centurion.

You did good getting 30 minutes. Hahaha.

Hi gang,

As far as I can tell, Thailand only allows bringing in 30 days worth of prescription medication (in my case, I'm talking about diabetes & heart medicine).

I was hoping to take advantage of the fact that they're handing out 45-day visas now (and this trip I'the part of a longer tour through Asia, so I'm planning on having 60-90 day supply).

I've been doing some research on the subject and I've written to the Embassy asking for guidance, but considering the average age of a lot of travelers to Thailand, I figured that my situation cannot be that unique and was hoping that others would share their experiences with this issue.

I plan on speaking to my doctor next week about providing me a letter that summarizes my ailments and medication list. Any other steps that you all recommend?

Thanks and best regards.

I just carry my "my Chart" printout of my drugs, and a 90 day supply and never had a hassle. If you are a cardiac patient and are in need, I highly recommend Dr. Jiranut at BNH or Dr. Wascin Buddari. They fixed me up and even my local USA docs said they did a great charge (unlike my Cambodian tooth, which my dentist laughed at).

As others have noted, it's rare for Thai Customs officers at BKK to search the luggage of incoming passengers. Moreover, anecdotal evidence suggests they are even less inclined to search when the passenger is an older gent who looks "respectable. " (Recognizing of course the prejudices and assumptions built into that adjective.)

It's also important to note the odds are very good that he can purchase whatever meds he needs in Thailand. Most pharmacies, especially those in Bangkok and Pattaya, stock the usual meds that are often prescribed for chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiac conditions. If Mr. Interest is really worried about carrying enough meds to last 60-90 days, he could hedge his bets by packing a 30-day supply and the buying what he needs once he arrives. Depending on the cost of prescription meds and the insurance coverage in his home country, he may even save some money.

They rarely inspect the luggage of older tourists, and don't care about prescription meds.

And you can buy most prescription meds at most larger pharmacies.

Thailand and basically any other country almost never will check and even if they do they won't do anything. Prescription meds are always fine. Have zero concerns, just show up.

I arrived with 60 days of my meds, some in the original oversized RX bottles and others repackaged (and hand labeled) to save space. The written prescriptions were also in my bag. When I opened my bags they each contained a security card that said my bag had been inspected. No problem for me, nobody even verbally told me that the inspection took place.

My prescriptions are all oral and topical. I might worry if I had to bring an injectable prescription.

I tried to get a ride on Bolt tonight in Pattaya and was shocked that prices have tripled. I took the baht bus instead.

Came through BKK in mid October with my meds in 90 day supply bottles. No body asked or checked anything but my passport. I think a key factor is don't look like a bum.

MY experience: I arrived 3 weeks ago, 90+ day supply of 4 medications, literally a box full. Arrived late night for what that is worth. Going through customs, I used the green line. X-ray is not mandatory. Wasn't stopped, given a cursory glance. Might not be PC, but I think it depends on your color, nationality, and where you're coming from. In numerous trips to Thailand over the years, only been stopped once. I do hold my passport in my hand, clearly visible.

My OPINION: with doctor's letter (I didn't bother) and onward travel proof, you should be OK.

Dude you are wasting your time. Nobody checks that kind of shit. You should probably even buy a lottery ticket if anybody asks you to put your bag through the machine.

The issue of Bolt vs Grab is that Bolt rides can take much longer to arrive and be less reliable to actually show up. You'll get canceled on a Bolt a lot or it will take 20 minutes to arrive, but it will often be half or 2/3's the price of a Grab. Grab is much faster and more reliable, you pay for the premium of reliability and time. In BKK a meter taxi going locally will be roughly the same price as a Bolt, assuming a taxi will take you on a meter.

Bolt you also can pay cash or card, Grab is credit card, although I don't really care either way, but some people may.

This information is valid for Bangkok but totally inaccurate for Pattaya. Since this is a general Thailand thread I think it's important to point out the difference. Bolt is much better and cheaper in Pattaya than Grab but as you stated Grab is much better in Bangkok than Bolt because of the reasons you stated.
