Strange: twice today, 2 separate occasions, I thanked a man in Thai, and he, speaking perfect English, thanked me for speaking Thai, he appreciated it. Now, he might have been pulling my leg, but he seemed serious. Later, I let an older (which IS saying something) lady on the escalator in front of me, She thanked me in Thai, and I responded in Thai "that's OK" (which came close to exhausting my Thai vocabulary). And she started talking to me, going on and on, in Thai. Sure, she might have been scolding me, but she certainly had a smile on her face, and what little I did catch was she surmised I didn't speak the Isan dialect. Maybe that's what happens when the locals feel overrun by foreigners.
But taking a page from YOUR book of what counts as info:
Chatuchak: early afternoon, a number of hotties. Might have spotted a 10, but she was moving pretty fast and got masked in a crowd. But certainly a few 9's (Thai, Chinese but couldn't say if PRC or Taiwanese, think some Korean), all in sections 11-26, and certainly a number of 7's and 8's (Asian, but even a smattering of Caucasian), same sections, plus a few in the MRT station. And since you never post post-viewing, seems immaterial here too.

'Couple of days ago, stopped by the Dunkin Donuts off of Sukhumvit, Soi 13. SMALL shop taking up a LITTLE space in an office building. '.
The precise location is the ground floor of the Trendy Building, which houses condo's and retail shops on the lower level. The Dunkin Donuts is just to the left as you walk in. It has a small seating area and adequate selection of donuts for about 30 bt.

Posts: 451Things not looking good for High Season. It's dreadful here in Pattaya.
Tourist Authority will pay Indian s somehow to get them here. Then businesses won't let them in,. Weird.

Posts: 451I can't imagine what's going thru Mr Newtons mind. His hero is Writing about Dunkin Donuts 🍩. Is this how much Bangkok has fallen.
My answer to above is HELL YEAH.
I got nothing but School Girl to report on.

Decent weather, weekend, high noon, went out to Chatuchak Market. A number of people, but NOT packed, so rather nice. Fun place to people watch and to pick up some gifts for the home folks. Couple of shops I've done business with for a time, some decades, always fun to see what new items they have. I do studiously avoid the pets section. And the one-size-fits-all T-shirts... they don't.
And, for YEARS, I'd always stop at Viva26, section 26, to rehydrate. However, last year it was gone, didn't survive Covid. But this year, happy to report another watering hole has formed in its spot, even expanding, La Rumba cafe (section 26, Soi 1/7). So anyone taking an intermission from the entertainment scene, after wandering around Chatuchak for a few hours, great place to take some refreshments and people watch. The Latin music seems a bit incongruous for the scene, but certainly BETTER than Christmas carols (long gone are the days where one could escape THOSE by visiting BKK.).
Couple of days ago, stopped by the Dunkin Donuts off of Sukhumvit, Soi 13. SMALL shop taking up a LITTLE space in an office building. Nowhere near the size nor the convenience of the one that used to be at the foot of the BTS escalator at Asok. Not much selection in the afternoon, but maybe the morning office workers had picked it clean. Today, post Chatuchak, looked up Dunkin Donuts on Silom. Quite convenient, directly off the Sky Train platform, turnstile level, 3rd floor of the golf center building, just head straight into the building on the short bridge from the BTS rather than down the stairs to Silom. Decent selection INCLUDING.... wait for it...wait for it... Bavarian cream. 8 for 100 baht.

I am now already in Bangkok, and as I am busy until next weekend I could meet and monger in the evenings during the week.
As I am short time here I would like to hang around with other monger (s) who knows the city and culture, with whom I could go in some clubs and see what happens.
Please PM.

Annies on Soi 7/1 is where the NAME of the old soapie moved to, but from what I've heard, the name is all that moved.
Well, the weather has certainly improved. Cooler (relatively) and definitely less humidity, with a nice breeze most of the day. Last week, couldn't walk 5 blocks before my shirt was soaked with sweat. Entering any A/C, even the Sky Train, and I was freezing. Yesterday, out and about, walking a full hour, running errands, and shirt dry enough I could sit in Took Lae Dee's A/C without freezing. Sakura Akasuri (salt tapping) yesterday afternoon didn't seem all that busy unlike my previous visit. Nice weather and scrubbed clean...

Of every Sex Dollar spent. Tourist only account for 20%.
I'm of the opinion Thailand is a Big Brothel. Sex is just so accessible.
