Line is primarily a messaging app. You need the other party to give you his contact ID. Line is not a dating app where you can trawl through listings.
Exactly Mac.
It is used throughout Asia for messaging. Most people here know LINE but not WhatsApp or Messenger. -

There are lots of bars on Soi 4 that are just bars. It's not a very long Soi. Your friend could walk along it, pick one he likes the look of, take a seat and have a chat with the other patrons. My Favourites are Telephone and Stranger Bar, but your friend might enjoy different venues.
Telephone hasn't been Telephone for years --- now CIRCUS.
Maybe Balcony or Connections would be better. -

Most medical travel insurance only covers accidents, injuries and emergency medical care, excluding pre-existing conditions.
Really?
I'm daily seeing advertisements on Facebook for Thailand insurance, up to 100y.o. with all sorts of options, out/in patient, accident etc.
I was recently quoted, at my great age -- don't ask -- of 8K Baht per month for inpatient only with a large $ cap (I forget how much).
It was with WRLife -- a U.K. based company with agents in Pattaya.
But many similar ads. out there.
Oh SORRY I just re-read and you're talking about TRAVEL insurance. -

t my state pension after all that is £791pm, even after the recent inflation rise. Around THB 34,000.
UK pensions, when paid in Thailand, are locked at the rate when you retired.
They do not rise when the pension rates in UK rise. -

Perhaps with the bar being busy the owner will be able to generate some tea money for the bib,
.
Is it the BIB or the landowners that is the problem?

Don't forget that Airbnb etc. is illegal in Thailand unless lets are less than one month unless the property has an hotel licence.
As far as I recall, the only person to be prosecuted is the landlord and not you.I meant to type 'Airbnb etc. is illegal in Thailand unless lets are MORE than one month'

Appears to me it doesn't matter how much time you spend in Thailand, or how much of the language you learn, you can still be a pest.Well said GIP. Some people think they know everything no matter how long the have been visiting here or attained a position on a message board.

The same goes to those who admire chubby guys, called chub chaser. There are in the minority, and for all i know, already with a chubby guy of their choices as there are plenty lol. Paid sex are the makn reason this forum is active and will continue to be so. If one is tired of it, maybe consider to join a diff forum or maybe tinder?
Don't get out much, do you?

As I said above, Facebook is full of ads. for medical insurance in Thailand.
I contacted several and they seem to be agents in Pattaya.
I went with one, WRLife, because a farang friend here has a policy with them (a UK based company).
We are both over 75. Policies as low as 8K per month. -

Is there an option at all to get medical insurance for elderly foreigners in Thailand?
I follow a YouTuber who lives in Thailand who couldn't find any insurance company willing to insure his 71 y.o. mom.
There are many ads on Facebook for insurances, some up to 100 y.o..
I just started on one called WR Life. -

A note for all Thailand Elite holders. Although there has been absolutely no notification from the Elite office, one of the legal firms authorized to handle Elite requests let the cat out of the bag last week when it stated the Elite programme is being revamped on Oct 1.
Try viewing TNT 'Tim Newton Today' on YouTube daily.
Nothing specifically gay but he tries to sort through all the various press releases puffs and rumours regarding various visas, political situations.
He recently had a meeting with a top Elite executive and was given info which he is not allowed to speak about yet.
His broadcasts are at 09:00 live daily (except Sundays when he has a 'Grumpy old Men vlogcast) and the comments section is also live so he might reply to you live 'on air'. -

I've had my SCB account for 22 years. Always (nearly) use internet banking on my desktop P.C.
Only to find, yesterday, that it's no longer possible. One can only do it via the smartphone.
How do I print out or view my monthly statements? Go to a branch if I can find one still open for 100 baht per page?
Of course I wrote to them complaining and asking advice as to which other bank I should move my account to that still can do internet banking.
Their copy and paste reply (ignoring my last question):-
Regarding to your e-mail, we do apologize to inform you that there is no internet banking over website anymore. Due to some limitations of SCB EASY Net, certain services and enhanced security features cannot be further developed. SCB has therefore decided to discontinue the service. In this regard, the SCB EASY app is recommended for our customers instead, providing a better customer experience and more enhanced security for banking services and financial transactions, including facial recognition and PINs for authenticating transactions and more. SCB EASY Net in terminated on July 14, 2023
Does any member here have recommendations for another bank that can do internet banking on a P.C.? Oh, and incidentally doesn't close its possibility to pay by card or transfer or QR code at 02:00 so that all branches can interlink to headquarters or whatever they must do when many people are trying to pay restaurant or bar bills. AND they want a cashless society??!!
Sorry, rant over but would appreciate advice or experiences from members.

Showing my ignorance I have not been to Soi 4 since about 2015. Am I right in thinking that Jupiter is where Roxy used to be? For those with longer memories, that space was for years occupied by one of the great Bangkok gay Clubs, Rome Club. In some year, I believe around 1990, the owner decided to make a complete change. He ruined it by turning it into a straight club. That lasted all of a year before it closed. Another go-go bar Roxy then took over but it was not much nore successful, I suspect because Soi Twilight was then entrenched in visitors minds as the home of gogo boy bars. I cannot now recall what it became in the roughly 2 decades bewteen Roxy's closure and Jupiter's re-opening.
Yes mostly right about Rome club Peter.
The two owners, partners, tried to reopen it as gay again when straight failed. No luck, gays have long memories. It failed.
The two then moved to one of the islands and were murdered in their home. As stories go. -

Hello guys, have always lurked in these forums especially when I'm heading towards Bangkok. As it happens, I'm heading there again soon, early July actually.
I have passed by these bars / pubs but never have I once made my way into one of these mainly because I don't think I can handle pushy mama-sans / papa-sans. That being said, I wonder if the situation will be better prior to the show. Say, 4 or 5pm in the evening? I wonder how should I actually tell the waiters if I want to off them and how to ask them (without being offensive) how they fare in the room, e.g. do they kiss etc? 🤣
Would appreciate some tips especially for newbies like me who have never once entered these premises alone hahaha
Dezz, I don't think there will be any action around the bars at 4 or 5. they usually open about 8. (except massage houses open all day).
Silom soi 4 opens about 5 but not really for staff for hire.
Good luck.
P.S. those pesky people are all mamasans, male or female (if you can tell the difference)
What are the prices today for sex in Thailand? 2023
