I'll be venturing to Bangkok next week. This will be a short visit of 6 days, weather predictions indicate it is supposed to be hot. My hope is that some of my interpersonal interactions will also be hot. I've made copious notes from board postings/suggestions/ etc and will try to write a report on the visit. I've booked a series of day tours with Moses' recommendation: Siamroads. It's been fairly seamless in making the booking and planning the touring with good give and take from Ya. I booked tours as my visit last fall was circumscribed by Sol Twilight and environs and shopping centers I could get to by public transit. The last time I did any touring was in 1972 when I did a post college trip which took me to the major sights and kept me away from where I was last fall. I suspect some of the major sights are different or that I'd now remember them. I made my second trip 20 years later. On a night off from friends, I walked from my hotel on the river toward Sol Twilight and stopped at the first sight of boys congregating and...well things went from there. I think it was a place on Soi Than Tawan. I remember at least a dozen boys on a stage, not sure there was a show. No recollection of the name but it did have a 2nd floor with rooms. I was totally out of my depth but was able to swim through the night. No further visits until one early last spring followed by another in the fall. Didn't think to make notes but had a mix of experiences (Sol Twilight, Tawan, massage places, and one attentive bar boy who I will see at least once this visit). Will try to be more organized as to reporting. Now for my question. I followed with interests, the board postings on recommendations for currency exchanges. My credit union does not charge me for any currency exchange costs when I use its atm card so I use that and don't carry much cash when I leave the Bay Area. I will again be staying at Tarntawan. Last visit, when cash was needed I went to the closest ATM. I am suspecting that some bank atms are better than others. Suggestions, recommendations, etc are appreciated.
