Khaosan is for college kids and australians. Fine if that’s what you want, but for those who know, it’s a shithole.

have stayed in the top suite, grand I believe they cal it. has a full kitchen and washer dryer. top notch value and service if you dont mind staying on that shithole street. even has a kick ass rooftop bar. shitty pool though.

I walked past it on rajah alley shortcut my way to doubletree on soi 2 and frankly. it seems wildly overpriced as the pool is basically in the parking lot. weird. seemed to be lots of wannabes in there. frankly hyatt regency blows it away as does JW Marriott imho.

happy to watch that nonsense from the comfort of my you tube screen.

any place that puts that flag in my food is off the list.

can def reco the muay thai @ Rajadamnern. Reg seating fine (better actually overall) but suggest club for waitress service. Also dont go solo, bring a date or a buddy.

Phaya Rum, imho is fantastic.

new fave is Nana Seafood. Bit of a wait for the food but great shit.

yesterday was a street food day for me. Total Damage 60 Baht for skewered chicken hearts, chicken liver, chicken sausage and pork skewers.

yeah but i think they open later. me I’m an early bird.

Citrus on 6 is awesome. highly reco the grand suite with the washer dryer for a longer stay.

theres a place down soi 8 past all the hubub that has a great deal.

highly recommended in Singapore, the BKK one looks a bit worn but a great chain.

Candidly I totally avoid Soi 11 at night. So many better and easier vibe sois out there.

OP. What always works for me on scammers is — how about you go fuck your mother in the ass.

budget 500 + tolls. like I repeatedly say, use the airport rail link during hours. it’s your best friend.

My first 6 hours on this mini trip consisted of taxiride to hotel on sukhumvit, a walk through to Thermae, gathered up some quotes and lines, then hightailed over to Red Dragon, chatted, drank with a number of seksi mahk thai girls and bf-ed two of em. I’d say that was a productive quarter day.

“she” was a “he”, bro. First question out of your mouth for street freelancers on sukhumvit has got to be. - Are you ladyboy. I dont care how nice it looks. Mongering 101.

Forgo the taxi unless on a very tight time crunch (and only not during rush hour) and march down to lower level and take the Airport Link to Phaya Thai and then switch to Sukhumvit line. Kill two birds with one stone and pick up the rabbit card when switching over to phaya thai. Can also get off earlier at Makhasan and switch to MRT to Asoke but I like staying on the BTS. You’ll have your passport with you having come from the airport and you’ll need it to get the rabbit card (for BtS). Takes maybe 45 min and total cost maybe $5.00 but a nice little adventure to start the fun and the BTS is jam packed with hot thai girls.

dayuse.com Also, many hotels in BKK allow use of the amenities (without room) for a fee. I know the Hyatt Regency does.

You’ll be up the block from Hooters which is effectively in the Four Points Sheraton and have Thermae right there around the corner on Sukhumvit. Location fine but can’t speak to the hotel itself but locationwise you’re good. can also take sneaky route to Cowboy.

Soi 4 is the rank debauchery, i.e. agogos and beer bars. Soi 11 is the cleaned up variety, i.e. restaurants, nicer bars and clubs. easily walkable to one another so look anywhere in that area from say Soi 2 clean on up to Soi 15 and maybe five to ten minutes up/down each soi if you like walking. Citrus Sukhumvit 6 is a clear winner in my book for an NEP focused stay but there are certainly cheaper, albeit perhaps not as quality hotels but one thing BKK does not lack is hotel variety.

Novotel on 4 has good rooftop bar action. How was it taking girls back to Doubletree Ploenchit. Not wild about the elevator placement ….

I faceplanted on Soi 4 one morning and my iced coffee and wallet scattered out in the street and like three thais literally ran over to help me up and gather my wallet for me. In the U.S., people would’ve laughed at me, put me on youtube and/or stolen my wallet.
