  1. That's the place. It's Gecko Nail Art & Massage, I think. It's a mixed (M/F) shop, very close to Pub Street so it is in a convenient, central location.
  2. I think Roadhouse does an excellent pulled pork sandwich also. As for burgers, there's Mash on Convent Rd, not far from Silom Rd. Burgers are pretty much all they serve & I think they are very good. The place has a trendy 'industrial' decor & a big selection of beers on tap. Mash is situated between 2 open-front Thai joints so it's easy to miss.
  3. I agree that you should be well rested & wide awake for the start of your Galapagos trip so, definitely, I would opt for the overnight in MIA. Have fun!
  4. AirBNB has a 'Contact Host' option where it is possible to message the owner of a particular rental & ask questions. Better to know up front if the owner has a guest policy.
  5. I stayed at the Birdcage back in November. It has a mixed M/F staff so is maybe 'gay-friendly', but all the staff were all very pleasant to deal with. I liked the location, my room was very comfortable & the garden/pool/restaurant is great.
  6. Wow, a massage shop & a wine bar. That is very creative marketing! Thanks for posting the very interesting & detailed report.
  7. Sorry I clicked on it! A lot of vague generalizations & cliched visuals of Thailand & Thai gay people.
  8. GREAT posts & pics, thanks for sharing! How does the King's Rock in SR compare to the Crown Royal? I stayed at the Crown Royal (maybe on your recommendation) back in November & really liked it. The wide-open spaces of the SR airport looked just the same in November!
  9. Chula is excellent, I agree. My other resource is Pharmacie de la Gare in Phnom Penh. It is, as the name suggests, near the defunct (?) PP railway station & prices for some items may be a bit lower than BKK. I have heard that virtually anything pharmaceutical is available without a prescription in Cambodia.
  10. Sounds like the reports of his death are greatly exaggerated!
  11. No, this time it was about too many cashews in the cashew chicken.
  12. Yes! My favorite guy from Natural headed home to VN yesterday.
  13. I was in Naples 10+ years ago & there did not seem to be much going on then. I would imagine that Naples, like every other city on the Mediterranean coast of Europe, now has a presence of refugees from North Africa. There might be some potential there.
  14. I am grateful for the warning too! Thanks to Khun Mack who has been posting a lot of very interesting content lately.
  15. Chiang Mai had bus service with several routes for a few years prior to Covid, but I'm not sure exactly when it started. I agree the airport bus route is a compromise between the needs of the locals & the needs of the tourists so it doesn't fully satisfy anyone. The airport taxi is only 150 THB which I don't mind paying at all!
  16. Agreed. I'm not sure that tourists from mainland China, looking for a relaxing holiday abroad, would appreciate Chinese police looking over their shoulder & supervising their activities in Thailand. More 'limp spaghetti' diplomacy than bamboo!
  17. I am on my third ASUS laptop & my experience has been positive with all 3.
  18. Can you please provide a link or 2? I am looking on YT but not seeing any videos of Double Shot. Thanks.
  19. I went to LP in 2013 & I liked it a lot. It was a sweet, relaxed place, but definitely touristy. Not much going on but it had a unique charm. Now I am wondering how the opening of rail service (to China & to Vientiane) is going to affect it. Are the locals gearing up for a big increase in tourism from China? Is LP changing? I am planning to go back in December so I will see for myself!
  20. My impression is that Thai Immigration is definitely cracking down visa runs, where one departs for another country & returns the same day (or the next day).
  21. In the US, the leotards are called singlets but, yes, I love watching the content of Midwest Wrestle & others!
  22. The Hue Citadel is a beautiful place to visit. In the countryside surrounding Hue, there are the royal tombs of 7 (I think) emperors & I enjoyed seeing them as well.
  23. I am using Chrome with no problems but, yes, I tried using MS Edge & got the 'This site has been reported as unsafe' message.
  24. I'm not getting it either.
  25. Excellent post, thanks very much! Your experiences sound generally similar to my own. I find the guys at Natural Spa to be cute & appealing but none of the (maybe 3?) sessions I had there were totally satisfactory. As for S'Sense, sorry to say but I am not a fan of that place either.
