Since there's a lively discussion on this form regarding arrival logistics, I timed myself.

I was out of the plane at 15:01, and cleared immigration at 15:24 (no priority).

AOT limo service wanted 960b for the ride to Silom, so I followed captainmick's advice.

Taxi driver wanted 700, but relented when I insisted on 500.

It took 8 minutes just to get out of the parking lot, and 57 minutes more to reach the Raya Surawong. )-:

My first Thailand visit was way back in 2009; purely touristic, during my days of innocence.

This is my 4th sex visit in thailand since 2019, a mere pittance compared with the many bkk aficionados here.

Nevertheless, Silom and Surawong looked familiarly welcoming (-:

I just got in this morning. Thai was an hour late, and although we arrived at D4, close to immigration, I was in row 63 at the back of an A350, with another flight ahead of us. Almost 50 minutes to get through.

I ended up directing traffic. People at the front were blocking the whole fucking line waiting for the two booths directly ahead, instead of spreading out to the ones on the right. Once I pointed that out, things moved considerably faster.

One booth was set a little further in, and apparently nobody knew whether they were allowed to queue there. When I reached the front, I walked straight over. Everyone looked at me like WTF, then promptly lined up behind me. 😂

Luggage was already waiting. At customs, for the first time in all my visits, they stopped my Indian friend and had him put his bag through the scanner. I asked whether she wanted mine too. “No.” Apparently I have an innocent face. 😇

Then 1½ hours to The Venue with Mike Taxi, courtesy of a female driver who has clearly missed her calling in Formula One.

Ridiculous

You said last year you weren't heading to Pattaya in 2027 and this is your second time !!
