Bangkok Trip Report: August 2024
Thank you for your sense of irony regarding anything "deluxe" in a building that is surely ready for demolition. But where would Arena go.....? So I don't wish for demolition of such an institution. I had always assumed that you needed to book a "deluxe room" to get the in room shower. I am glad to know that all rooms have that.

Bangkok Airport Removes Fast Track Immigration On Arrival For First & Business Class Travelers
If the elderly Business Class passengers, who would have previously used the Business Fast Track, now transfer to the Elderly/Disabled fast track it will be overwhelmed. I also wouldn't assume that the elderly fast track will continue......

Bangkok Airport Removes Fast Track Immigration On Arrival For First & Business Class Travelers
"Tragic" is a little over dramatic! In truth it always seemed that AOT/Immigration have been ambivalent about providing and servicing the Fast Track Lane. Perhaps this is just the precursor to genuine fast tracking(being optimistic....). The other side of this coin is without the fast track those companies providing VIP meet and greet services will find their income increasing.

Man Falls to His Death from Pattaya 5-Star Hotel
Must be pretty determined to go from the 31st floor. Too much time to think about it on the way down, and no opportunity to change your mind. Why are people even given access to the exterior that far up?

Paetongtarn Shinawatra: Thailand’s youngest PM at 37 years old
So having banned the party that won the last election on the basis that they were a threat to the monarchy, the next step was obviously to restore a dynasty that was previously driven into exile as a threat to the monarchy!

You think 7 nights is too short?
I think 7 inches isn't long enough

Time to return
If you want to give, give with respect for the beneficiary. Otherwise you are demeaning yourself and them by highlighting their need.

Rub out illicit activities in Thai massage shops?
I am shocked too. Shocked that 75% offer such services only secretly....... Presumably on this calculation the other 25% are offering sex services publicly.

Post graduate studies in Thailand
Every time I look at the title of this thread I think that "Post Graduate Studies in Thailand" must be a euphemism for some other activity!

Dick's Cafe Jomtien
I think at the original Blue Elephant venue in Fulham you were paying for the plants(excessive numbers) rather than the food, which may not after all have been to the taste of Brits as first it moved and then it closed permanently.

GOP- Nice Boys
Honestly?! What dicks, presumably they were in it together. I know there is a level of desperation etc, but they had clearly established a positive reputation which must have been with more than just the posters here and they have just trashed that without consideration for the upset that it has caused those who were fond of them(and might have helped them if they had just been honest).

Planning to be in Chiang Mai for 1 week - advice appreciated!
No it doesn't have staff there for that purpose. However you might make a connection with one of the staff or customers, but nothing is guaranteed. For guaranteed availability go to one of the bars down the alley beside Ram if you strike out at Ram. Sorry can't remember the names of the other couple of bars but as you face Ram they are 100 metres down the alley to the right.

Expats seek income tax clarification from the prime minister
Extra staff somehow became extra stalls. Although they might need those too.........
