Hey guys,

I'm looking for anyone who would like to play Squash sometime in BKK at one of the clubs or hotels that have courts, don't have to be a serious player just having fun. Let me know if you'd like to meet up.

By new I meant the Doubletree hilton, which was formerly called something else, But I have always felt that the adelphi suites is great value for money, both in bangkok and in Pattaya

It really is good value for money, and having the restaurant right at the front is good for meeting

Not that interested in visiting Pattaya again since it has changed and BKK is much more fun I find 

I was at Adelphi back in March/April and thought it was great, what do you mean by new hotels, just built?

Anyway, after extensive and thorough search I got myself a very nice, according to the reviews, room in a very VFM hotel for the first 4 days of my stay... Just 12€/day, which I thing is a very good deal since its right in the center of the city and very close to the action. It has 8,6 in booking and very good comments so it cant be awful. 

Its called Studio F Sukhumvit and can be found in the link below... 

If anyone knows it I would apreciate a feedback.

That area is very central and if the reviews are for the most part positive I think you'll have no problems at all

Sounds like a good plan, I will be there in June also

What's the easiest/surest way to get a longer-term visa? I'd like to relocate to Bangkok for a year and rent an apartment etc. 

Read an article about a new Digital Nomad visa coming soon which would be ideal. Otherwise what do you guys do? Just constant visa runs? Or you have a student visa or something?

Is it a pain in the butt to keep extending your tourist visa each month with the immigration office? How long does it take to do?

Can you rent an apartment for a year with only a tourist visa?

Cheers!

It really depends on which country you are coming from in some ways, you could rent an apartment for longer than 30days on a tourist visa just have to negotiate with landlord

thanks @jkheops and sorry to hear of your loss, a Thai spouse visa would be of interest and will investigate.

Nice video, thanks for sharing

Most hotels will let you work out a deal with them

Has anyone come across ant traditional Thai medicines like herbs, spices etc that aren't found in the west but are effective at treating different conditions?

This is a grea thread thanks for all the suggestions, not sure about dinner but for drinks the top of Waldorf Astoria Hotel is amazing.

I will be in BKK from late June to late July if anyone is around and looking to meet up for a beer send me a DM

No need. There are no tests anymore.

I didn't really have a problem with it, the test kits are extremely cheap but glad it's gone

There's nothing preventing you from submitting a fake day 5 test picture, it's supposed to be uploaded into the Morchana app but doesn't work, so send it to the hotel you stayed your first quarantine night in and they will upload it onto the system for you. Hope this helps

Are there any benefits that can be gotten from marrying a Thai National? Getting married early 2022 and was wondering if anyone has gone through something on similar lines.

Thanks again in advance 

I can recommend Adelphi Suites in Soi 8, very get friendly and easy to bring girls back

Yes i'm looking at AirBnB also and prices are much cheaper almost by half for a months stay, plus they are more private in the sense that no staff to know who you are etc. 

There are many lists online with guest friendly hotels in BKK listed, I was just staying on Soi 8 and brought in girls every night with no issues to the hotel, some night staff asked for the girls ID and some didn't
