  1. Two years ago I did almost the same thing (two weeks in thailand every month of the year) and I had no issues, smile, have your passport ready, make sure to let a bit of time pass in between two stays (no immediate re-entry) and answer any question without being defensive.

     

    Immigration at DMK has always been much more problematic for me than at the main airport, probably because that's the one people who don't do land border visa use. After a while I had a couple of agents ask me "what you do in thailand", I answered I had taken a year off of work and enjoying my holiday, then renewed my passport at home to be stamp free (yes the system keeps track of it anyway, but they never seem to care what's on their screen except if it says denied, whereas when you have lots of stuff in your passport they sometime look - I once had questions about my numerous stamp to another country too ...).

     

    Ultimately they want to make sure you're not abusing the visa exemption rules (meant for holidays) to live in thailand, which is fair and is their job. At least that's how I see it.

  2. Not "the best" but I'm very partial to Wunderbar on soi 4 near the junction with soi 6. It's a restaurant (expect no girl to barfine there), but if you want a good drink while talking with a friend or girl you bring and eat with, it's a great place.

     

    180 baht from 18h to 20h, and 250b afterwards so not so cheap, but they're clearly not watered down (I'm a fan of Long Island, and two of theirs puts me down ah ah).

     

    Food is quite decent too, thai food, pizza, pasta, burger ...

  3. How was it? Breakfast, location, gym, service, guest friendly, etc?

     

    Location: top notch, quick walk to nana or all bars on soi 4 and nana bts (

     

    Guest friendly: one guest per day is free, second guest (either at the same time / threesome, or two lady one after another in the same day) is 1000 fee. Checking and taking ID when the girl comes and when she leaves.

    Loosely enforced, some day the security guy in charge of that isn't there, some day he doesn't check, some days he does. All is in a registry, not in his backpocket.

     

    I loved the hotel, staff security and maid services were all very accommodating and the room were good. My only downside is the leaking ironing tool in almost every room (if you use those), and the very open walk with your girl in front of all staff and waiting/eating guest when going to your room with a girl since the elevator are at the far end of the lobby, might be an issue for some.

     

    For the price I would rate 8/10.

  4. Been to Dynasty Grande, it's right in front of Patchara Suites, I don't remember the room type but frankly I loved it, only downside compared to Patchara was no in-room washing machine. Soi 6 is very calm yet super close to nana (even closer than hotels on soi 2), and you've got a side exit if you don't want to go through soi 4 to reach sukhumvit

  5. I'm supposed to land in a few days, between the big scares (more of this ?) and the smaller scares (airport will be a bitch to clear, baggage too, curfew would ruin my nights, ...) I'm not super hype about it.

     

    Would love words from people on the ground on how it is going there in the next few days (and given where I ask this, intel on whether or not the nightlife is affected)

     

    Hope everyone in bangkok is safe with their families

  6. I agree with Wrex's answer with one addition: have you used any "enhancers" like viagra or cialis etc ... while in thailand ? If so, don't wait and go see a doctor now. Tell him, and also tell him if it's street bought (rather than in pharmacy).

  7. I've been taught by the concierge to go by the staff entrance when I bring back puyings to my room..... out of sight and dun have to pay any joiner fees too. But I always remember to tip the concierge.

    Going on the side of the building to the right ? I would honestly worry about them feeling like I'm trying to trick them if not told myself

     

     

     

     It seems the rooms in Majestic Grande are better than President Palace

    The rooms at PP are nice clear and large but they're very worned out.

     

    President Places is about 15 minutes walk.

    About 10 min of Nana and a few more to Cowboy, but also both are accessible.

  8. Phachara suites: I love this hotel to no end, but it's sometimes one of the worst walk of shame there is. The lobby is a long but not very large path from door to elevator, on your right the counter and on the left the sitting clients waiting for their room or whatever, and after a glass door the restaurant. And it's an hotel with enough non-monger visitor to count.

     

    If that's not an issue for you, go for it, the place is awesome.

     

    PS: note that they have a one guest per day policy. If you take a ST in the afternoon and another in the evening, they will ask you to pay 1000 bahts. If you come with 2 girls for a threesome be it ST or LT it's 1000 bahts for the third too. They sometimes don't enforce that policy (or don't even ask for ID of girls), but most of the times do.

  9. 1. send a mail to the hotel. Ask if they have a joiner fee for one guest, or for two guests. They will know what you mean. Some hotel are ok with one but not with more.

     

    2. I was there a week ago, it's hot and sometimes rain but okayish. If you're going mongering, don't worry about the rain, take a taxi (inexpensive). Learn to walk slowly for the heat ;)

     

    3. Yes and no. A lot less bars have complete nudity if any (you can still check Crazy House in soi cowboy), but if you're a first timer it's going to be so awesome you won't realized it's missing something. You will have lots of fun, don't worry.

     

    Pro tips:

    * don't make more than one plan a day, you never know what's going to happen

    * make a budget of how much you can spend *per day*. You will run out of cash before the last day on your first trip.

    * when you find a hot girl, don't bicker around, get her to sit with you and buy her a drink. Don't let her be taken by someone else only for you to regret it ;)
