Probably like everyone,after being on a plane,a shower/shave,etc...

I always try to get my bodyclock on the same timewave as BKK.Eat a dinner(or lunch if I arrive that early) at normal Thai time in country.I try stay up as late as possible,no matter how jetlagged I am.And also stay in bed late as long as possible,and resist the temptation to get up early AM.

It's good to hit the ground running,and get a blowjob or shag as soon as possible,to stop you climbing up the walls!

Giving this topic a bump because I'm thinking about order one.  Can't beat the price for the convenience of getting through faster than normal.

 

So has anyone tired this recently?  This makes more sense than the meet me at the gate service.  I can walk from gate to immigration no problem.

 

Any information would be great and thanks in advance.

I can't recommend the coupons enough.

Get 2,the postage is the same for one or two.One for your way inland one for your flight out(No dramas rushing, etc).

You know where the taxi stand is, you know where the baggage pick up is......no need for a meet and greet

After being on an international flight, the last thing you want to do is stand in-line.

400 baht including tolls for a taxi from the hotel, so I booked it for tomorrow morning.  At least no sweating and hauling bags around.  

 

I've sweated so much this trip, I can't wait to get back to Canada.

 

Who did you book with?400baht including tolls for a reserved/booked taxi is a great deal.

This video helped with the route when I went to DMK last August.You can see the True Move and AIS booths on the left at the end of the video.On the opposite side there are a couple of exchange booths where you can change your currency into baht.(Better rates in the booths downtown BKK,so just change enough to see you through the 1st day!)

Are there booths to purchase SIM cards set up outside arrivals at DMK airport like there are at Suvarnabhumi ? I assume there would be but good to know in advance (stopping there soon weehee)

 

Late reply, and might be too late.

AIS 1-2 call and other sim providers have booths outside arrivals at DMK airport.

When you come out of the arrivals exit ,turn left and walk straight.You'll see AIS 1-2-call and others on the left before the escalator up to departures.

Any suggestions for Hotels ?

A soapy to try, not too expensive either

And resources!

Plus an old thread, but worth a read

http://www.bangkok-addicts.com/forum/topic/3981-chiang-mai-any-recommended-bars/?hl=chiang

The 400 Bht fast track coupon has another advantage, other then the more expensive fast track with assistance. If you see there are no lines to speak off at immigration, you can use it another time.......

Exactly.

It's all you need.

You guys should follow Mark Wiens on YouTube. He has tonnes of videos detailing day trips, activities and the best places to eat. Plenty of good info here too.

I second Mark Wiens ,too.

And also his friend's Youtube channel   bangkok fatty.

Make sure you're not hungry when you watch them.

These guys always eat at good places in BKK

All,

 

I have travelled to BKK 5 times this year and have used the following taxi firm who are really great, always on time, fixed price, good English communication and great A/C cars.  I highly recommend them - http://jjtaxiservice.com/

How much did they charge you?

 MESSAGE FROM HOTEL : We wish to advise you that President Palace will be closing for total renovation with effect from 12 December 2015, and that the programme will see the hotel closed for a period of between 10 and 12 months. Our ownership structure has changed somewhat with the addition of new shareholders and we are investing substantially to improve and upgrade this property, which is located in a prime area of Bangkok and is in a position to attract more customers and increase yield. All bookings for 12 December onwards will be redirected to our five sister hotels, listed below, or if guests prefer we shall give a complete refund. Grand President – Sukhumvit Soi 11 President Park – Sukhumvit Soi 24 Royal President – Sukhumvit Soi 15 President Solitaire – Sukhumvit Soi 11 Kingston Suites – Sukhumvit Soi 15

I've always fancied staying at their other sister hotel,President Solitaire,which is a bit further down Soi 11(they have a TukTuk service).All rooms are suites,and the more expensive ones have a jacuzzi .

They've got a "Pay 2 nights stay for 3 nights" deal on at the moment:

The Novotel is the best at the airport,but a bit above the budget you posted.

http://www.agoda.com/novotel-bangkok-suvarnabhumi-airport/hotel/bangkok-th.html?checkin=2015-11-17&los=2&adults=2&childs=0&rooms=1

After that ,the hotels tend to be in the budget range,and not what you might be hoping for you're family to stay in.

But there is one which seems nice and nearer your price.

http://www.agoda.com/vismaya-hotel-suvarnabhumi/hotel/bangkok-th.html?checkin=2015-11-17&los=2&adults=2&childs=0&rooms=1

Can't vouch for any of the airport hotels,even when I've only had time for an overnighter I've taxied in to Suk. and mongered as much as poss.,then taxied back the next morning for the flight.But I understand your situation with the family.

thanks for all the help now one more thing (I know a lot of questions) here are 3 hotel choices

 

I am looking for girl friendly with a pool and here are three choices

 

Aspen suites

 

Majestic Grande Hotel

 

Dynasty Grande Hotel

Of the 3 hotels,I've only stayed at Aspen suites(Twice).Great hotel.girl friendly,spacious rooms,and being on Soi 2 is a bit quieter than on soi 4.You can take the short cut past Annies/Rajah hotel car park through to soi 4.Well convenient.

See what kind of deal you can get with the 3 hotels on Agoda/Expedia,etc...Then check wit the hotel's website prices and see if they have any promotions/offers going on.

This might be of interest for Chiang Mai:

No one answered so I'll give it a shot.

Never had a tattoo done in BKK as I was already inked up before I went there.

Jimmy Wongs is the most famous of the artists in BKK,and has a great reputation.

I saw this on the net  a few months back,might help

Health and hygiene seems up to western standards,with machine sterilisation.

Google is a wonderful thing

What is the quality of girls like in Hua Hin compared to Bangkok or Pattaya?

Very disappointing,but cheaper.I like Hua Hin as it's more relaxed than BKK or Patts.

But if you're prepared to do some legwork ,you might the odd "diamond in the rough".

Start at Soi Bintbaht,after the bars shut head down to the disco at the Hilton where all the girls go after the bars shut.

Thanks for the info house516. I'm in BKK for 3 nights and will be using the BTS and MRT to get around. You're right, buying individual tickets are a hassle but will probably buy day passes. 

If you're there for 3 nights,Just get the rabbit pass.It will work out cheaper than buying 3 day passes,and you'll have for future use when you come back to BKK in the future!

To "Keep it up"......in your home cooked food put lots of fresh garlic and ginger in your stews ,curry,soups,stir-frys,etc.

Natural boner meds!!!

True,

and it will be washed with tap water

You do the math!
