Bangkok Reports

To simulate the experience of walking out of "Swampy" in early November, preheat your oven to 400 F, then open the oven door. In late November, preheat to 200 F. Once the weather "breaks", USUALLY in early November, there's a breeze so you'll still sweat the same, but at least there's a breeze to cool you via evaporation. Earlier, you just walk around "damp", then FREEZE when you walk into an air-conditioned establishment. And yes, some of us walk. (AMP VIP treatment: on arrival, she points you to the shower while taking your shirt to hang outside to dry).

There will still be rain, but storms are usually bursts, and move through within an hour or 2. Just cause to book 90 minutes, rather than 60, at the AMP's.

To feel really clean, I'm a strong proponent of salt-tapping, via MP up on Thong Lor, Soi 55, around soi 6, Misaki Akasuri Spa, previously known as Sakura Akasuri.

To feel really clean I bathe.

Hello fellow mongers,

I am staying in Dubai, originally from India. I really love Asians and met many in Dubai but I find it even better if I directly go to the source. So was thinking to do a small trip to BKK in few days.

I'm really looking forward to BBFSCIP but with safe (r) options. Any idea where to stay, how to find freelancers who can be open for BBFSCIP? Any scams or warning I should be aware of?

Really appreciate if you can share existing info posts for first timers or if you have tips for latest situation over there.

Just the basic RTFF, UTFSE. ROD'S (Reports of Distinction) good place to start for posts; there's a reason they're there. There is a hotel thread.

Just like school - the more homework you do, the better informed you'll be. Members have taken the time and made the effort to post their experiences, here for the taking. Up to you to avail yourself of that knowledge. Cliffnotes? Good luck with that.

You can read while taking breaks from writing the "promised" FR's...

Recently started Seeking and met few girls, will soon write detailed reports.

Is tinder an option in BKK. I thought TF was the only / popular one?

Yes, TF is the most popular one, but Tinder is an option as well.

TF works better for Pattaya?

Yes, definitely. In Pattaya it's like shooting fish in a barrel. In BKK it takes more time and effort.

[SBTiger]

More likely a profile text issue. Did you put anything related to mongering in it, like 'looking for freelancers', 'looking for fun', or something like that? TF does not accept that.
For me TF is very useful, but more so in Pattaya than in Bangkok. You could try Tinder.

Most large cities with extensive public transportation have apps that are very useful for planning. A quick search suggests that there is a Bangkok City Metro apps.
My own experience with these is that sometimes I have to navigate using the app and "google maps", but the app will usually allow you to pay, and track the location of buses and trains.

I don't know if the AOT Shuttle Bus is part of the public transport system. It's a free shuttle service between Suvarnabhumi airport and Don Muang airport.

Last time I took it was in 2017, when I went to Laos. No problems at all with this shuttle bus. Everything went fine.

I was in Bangkok couple times in Nov, Dec time frame. Weather was nice, cool, dry, no rain.

I was impressed that even in poor areas in Bangkok East side, streets were very clean, but trucks were spraying water to wash dirt down the drain.

So much information available about topics like this on the internet and through AI Resources.

Any recommendations on transportation from BKK to DMK?
See there is a free AOT Shuttle Bus, anyone tried it recently?

Relatively cool and dry, with occasional showers. Just google 'average temperatures in thailand by month'.
I was in Thailand in November last year, although I spent most of my time in Pattaya, which is usually a bit cooler than Bangkok. In the day time it was usually around 30 degrees Celsius on average, in the evening around 25 degrees Celsius, and in the night around 20 degrees Celsius or even lower.
But some days it did not get warmer than 24 degrees Celsius in the day time.

Things change, so.

Flying to Phnom Penh this week, initially had all my connections being thru Suvannabhumi. However, Cambodia Ankor Air cancelled / shifted their flight day / time on my outgoing leg and now I just had to book the late afternoon Asia Air flight out of DMK.

Last resort / back-up option, I'll just take a Grab.

Sep 28 2026 Youtubes show Bangkok heavily flooded, some areas up to cars' roof line. Locals said this flood is worse than the last big one in 2011.

Glad I delayed my Asia tour to Nov.
