[QUOTE=Always09;2044983]Thanks mate. Really helps. Hopefully there are some good BJ bars as in the internet or nuru massages closeby the airport. Inputs welcome...[/QUOTE]A 40/60'minutes drive by taxi will take you to Nana where everything happens.
Of course it depends on traffic situation and the time of day or night you have your window.
[QUOTE=Franciscass;2044657]I haven't bothered checking out the online scene up to now but it seems from more and more forum posts that's where the future lies. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Shiba7;2044941]To be honest, I'm leaning the other way. The girls on the escort sites in BKK more often than not have 10 years added to their listed age, and their photos are photoshopped beyond belief and not up-to-date at all. And the provided service varies a lot. And that's from the top rep'd agencies!
Then you have the online independents, which is just completely hit-and-miss. Probably not even worth getting into unless you want to throw a ton of money and time down the drain.
On Smooci there's like 1 or 2 girls available per day that might give _decent_ service that'd be worth repeating, unless you have low standards and / or haven't gotten laid in the last year.
I'm not sure if it's the entire BKK scene or just online, but personally I'm starting to look elsewhere these days.[/QUOTE]I think Franciscass was not referring to escort sites or independent escorts but to chat apps like WeChat and Badoo, or sites like Thai Friendly and Facebook.
[QUOTE=AssLover945;2045172]How can anyone advice you unless you give the timing of those 8 hours.
With 8 Hours in daytime, you can get a lot done.[/QUOTE]Well it's arriving 12:30 noon and leaving 21:00 which actually is 8. 5 hrs ::))
I wandered down 4 this afternoon after somebody mentioned Hillary 2 was an alternative to the shuttered beer garden on 7. I don't think so but anyway I headed over to the newly opened complex where Strickers used to be and found Hilary 1 has reappeared. I always liked Hillary 1 best of all that group's pubs but the new concept, well check it out yourself but for me it's lost its old charm. I headed to 2 as the access has reopened and popped out of curiosity into Annie's. I thought the lineup and I admit I like it when prompted they stand to attention was a tad better than I remember. I thought the new dress code resembling I'm guessing underwear was a nice touch but the 2500 value proposition is still way out of whack for Bangkok. I have a feeling doc has directed his online marketing to the Indian market as I met 3 on their way upstairs as I was leaving.
[QUOTE=Always09;2045354]Well it's arriving 12:30 noon and leaving 21:00 which actually is 8. 5 hrs ::))[/QUOTE]No problem!
Your flight times should give you plenty of time to get a taxi from the airport to downtown (around 45 minutes to 1 hour at this time of day.).
Then get a decent lunch and a beer or 2 (You even have time for some shopping or a look round) and make an mid / late afternoon visit to one of the many massage places (1. 5 to 2 hours.) See the massage thread for details and locations) and you will still get back to the airport (around 1 hour in the evening) with time to spare! Or, you could try a visit to the infamous S. O. L. In Patpong 2.
Enjoy,
Hotman.

[QUOTE=Always09;2045396]How does the Visa on Arrival process work. Do they allow for the 8 hours. Any info on how to get out and get back in would be helpful.[/QUOTE]Visa on arrival is not the same as visa exempt. Some countries can simply get stamped in for 15 or 30 days as visa exempt, where others need a visa on arrival and paperwork is required to fill out. In some circumstances you need a tourist visa from the embassy. It would be helpful to know what nationality you are so we can better answer your question. Visa on arrival will then need to go through Immigrstion so that will cut into your time. If you are visa exempt, just a trip through the immigration que for the permission to stay stamp. If your nationality requires a visa to be gotten from the embassy then you will just proceed directly to the Immigrstion que to enter and activate your visa.
Whatever category you fall under, there is no minimum stay time. You exit Thailand anytime before the permission to stay stamp expires. 2 hours later or 30 days later for example. You obviously don't travel often so I think you better check what visa type you qualify for based on your nationality and then you will know where you stand.
If you use the Airport link and leave your luggage at the airport, you will save a lot of time with travel in both directions. I would never take a taxi with Bangkok traffic being so unpredictable when trying to catch a flight with a such a short layover.
Realistically, you can probably get two 2 hour sessions in and a good meal before heading back. I would recommend going to Snow White because the chance of failure is slim to none. Then grab some food to recharge your batteries. After that, head over to Ratchada by taxi and have a session at Ocean. That should take you to about 6. Then hope back on the MRT, travel 1 or 2 stops to Pharam 9 station and transfer to Makason Airport Link and head back to the airport. This plan can't fail.

Best for you to check on the airport website to be sure.

You will save some money and possibly some time too. BKK traffic is notorious and there is no telling what horrors lie ahead on the day of his visit.
I presume his baggage will be in the left luggage area. No point lugging stuff around.
[QUOTE=Always09;2045396]How does the Visa on Arrival process work. Do they allow for the 8 hours. Any info on how to get out and get back in would be helpful.[/QUOTE]Depending on your nationality you either head straight to immigration or you get into the visa on arrivals section. Immigration is free and may take easily upwards of an hour, the queues are never empty. VOA is 2000 baht with an option to get a fast lane service for an additional 200 baht. I think there is some sort of promo going on where the VOA fees have been halved.
As another BM said best to check the airport website for information.

Last time I had only 3 hours layover in Bangkok therefore stayed put in the airport. Understanding VOA in Bangkok would be helpful. For example in Indonesia it was pretty easy. I pay USD 35 and then they gave me the VOA. And it's free now I believe.

Without it, they can inoculate you right there before permitting you entry.

A valid passport.
You will need a passport valid for at least 6 months following your departure date, with at least 2 remaining unused pages for any necessary entry and exit stamps that may be issued.
Visa on arrival application form with recent photo (4 cm x 6 cm).
The fee for the application is THB 1,000.
A confirmed travel itinerary or fully-paid ticket usable within 15 days from entry date.
Proof of accommodation and funds of at least THB 10,000 per person and THB 20,000 per family.
This may put a damper on your plans. Entry may not be guaranteed because even though you show them your onward ticket for 8 hours later, many Indian nationals abuse the system. Even though you state you will only be entering for 8 hours, they still may insist on the cash and proof of accommodation. I obtained this information from my office as I work in a law firm in Bangkok where Immigrstion and NGO organizations are our specialty.
Good luck!

If a blind man has crossed any immigration counter three times, fourth times he will not even ask about visa exempt or visa on arrival question.
1. google emassy website.
2. check your xountry comea under visa exempt or visa on arrival.
3. check documents.
4. you must be having an international card to prove your funds which is never asked ever.
5. return ticket. Confirmed one.
6. this is not a immigration forum.
7. Thai gals have a third leg, so better sleep at airport.
5. still confused go home sleep well eat nice.
