The Park Plaza Hotel on Ratchadaphisek (soi 21) right around the corner from Asok BTS is my favorite. Small work-out room next to the roof top pool also. And good rates if you book ahead online (Agoda).

The voucher shown worked for me about 3 weeks ago. As a matter a fact, I recently ordered 2 more from Mr. Shin last week. I wish they were good at DMK as well.

I've been living here in BKK for about 3 years now and for any health issues I go to Bumrungrad. I've been satisfied with their medical care.

Don't really need one if you are planning to stay in BKK. English is spoken and understood widely in the city. If you are traveling "up-country", then you may want one.

I get mine from canadadrugs.com. They ship world-wide. However, they must have a doctors prescription on fine from you.

OK, it just sounded like you were thinking about "experimenting".

Dude, I'd really think twice about injesting any of those "pills" you're talking about buying on the street! There is no-telling what "chemicals" are in them ! Visit your doctor,get a prescription,buy them in your own country and bring them with you.

In 2010 I opened a savings account with Kasikorn Bank (Interchange Building branch in BKK). All they wanted to see was my passport and visa. At least once each month I have money wired from my bank in the US. It's been working great ! Kasikorns' fee is low and the money is in my account in less then 24 hours. Also I have a Kasikorn ATM Card.
