Coqtales - the restaurant
That's my fault for ordering it for you that one time - next time, 'mai ped'!

Coqtales - the restaurant
If they put too much chilli, then likely, yes!

Coqtales - the restaurant
YES!! I discovered that this place has the tastiest pad kaprao I've eaten Thailand. Will definitely need to pop in on my next trip.

Shirts made to measure
I used State Tailors (in the State Tower, same as lebua) some 10 years ago. The shirt fit beautifully, however not so much now due to fat.

Failed attempt at celibacy - trip to Thailand and Cambodia in October 2026
The room layout at the Aiden is interesting, no? Once you enter through the door, you are literally in the bathroom?

Three Pattaya Question Marks
You won't find this bar in Pattaya because it is in Bangkok.

Updated transport info please
I have not taken a taxi from Suvarnabhumi for a number of years, instead usually taking the ARL and then either BTS or MRT, however my upcoming trip I will land at 22:30 and want to make my way into Silom before it closes so I am going to catch a taxi as it will be the fastest and easiest way to depart the airport and get to Silom in a timely manner (I hope).

Massage Reviews Requested
This guy has been around for a while, I first engaged him in 2019 at the now-defunct Lucky Boys, and last I saw him was at Moonlight. I only saw him once but remember him to be decent. I made contact with this guy as he looks to be somewhat my type (usually I go for more twinkier guys but there is just something about him), but he charges 7000 THB for 2 hours which is a bit above my budget so I didn't engage (yet).

Bar Bottle Service Etiquette
Makes sense!

Bar Bottle Service Etiquette
So what would be the point of getting a bottle then if you still have to pay for boy drinks? It would be more cost effective to just buy boy drinks rather than a bottle? Unless I guess it is a group of customers that will share the bottle?

Rabbit card
Yeah I agree, but I am sure it will happen eventually.

Rabbit card
Walking is not a bad thing!

Rabbit card
Yep unfortunately you will need your passport to buy another rabbit card, last trip I think they had to reactivate mine which required my passport which luckily I had with me that day. You can't use credit cards at the turnstiles on the BTS (yet - I think there has been some talk?), however on the MRT, ARL and SRT, credit card is accepted. You would be better off just buying a cash ticket for the BTS at the booth or the machine (I think the machine accepts cash?)

E gates at Suvarnabhumi!
If my current flight falls through, I may have to, but as vinapu said, they are a bit more expensive and the flight times on the day I am travelling aren't great (either early morning or night time). There are also choices from Thai Vietjet and AirAsia as a backup.

E gates at Suvarnabhumi!
I've been experiencing some weird flight changes from BKK-KTI even though my flight is still a few months out - first Air Cambodia retimed a reasonable afternoon flight to much earlier (12:20am) which is not worth it for a 1 hour flight, luckily I got a refund (minus a few dollars), so I rebooked onto Bangkok Airways only for that flight to be cancelled. Rebooked again on Cambodia Airways so fingers crossed this one stays.

Rockstar Nene Royal of Phuket wins America's Got Talent 2026
Congratulations to Nene! I discovered her recently when mindlessly scrolling on instagram and she is incredible. Whilst her style of music isn't what I usually listen to, I am hooked and absolutely LOVE her interpretations of the songs she performs, particularly Zombie, and her stage presence is something else - she is a born performer. I wish her all the best for her future career!

Thailand 7 Eleven Musts
I am not sure, but I imagine there would be some decent places in/around Soi Thaniya, considering the clientele?

Questions regarding upcoming Cambodian trip
Completely agree - thank you for the insight.

Questions regarding upcoming Cambodian trip
@jimmie50 did mention the above in his last post, however I am wondering if it would be too intrusive, considering I have never met jimmie, to message my cambodian friend at Hotmale to ask 'cam' if jimmie arrived safely in Cambodia?

Thailand 7 Eleven Musts
Speaking of 7-11 Japan, I came home with quite a number of packs of those pour-over drip coffee bags that I cannot find in my country, but have found in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. They don't sell them at 7-11 in Thailand but I have found some at Big C.

Siem Reap hotel recommendation
Thanks for the recommendation. In the end, I booked a few nights at Men's. If it's anything like Arthur & Paul in Phnom Penh, then I'll likely enjoy it very much.

You know that masculine gay guys do exist right? Let's celebrate our diversity, yeah?

Adventures of a Bangkok Rookie August 2026
I tried these sleep gummies on my last trip as I was having issues but didn't really work so I had to take more drastic measures and bought some melatonin medication from the pharmacy. However I didn't try taking the gummies when waking up too early, might experiment with that next time!

Adventures of a Bangkok Rookie August 2026
I agree with you @aaroninatl, even though the guys are stunning, they don't quite fit into my general 'type', but some of the waiters definitely do! I think they are offable?
