Taken on my final night in BKK. (Forget to add to a recent post of mine with other pics.)

From a short but sweet trip 🇹🇭

Many Thais and non-Thais fanning themselves more than usual today in bangkok

Hi everyone,

Living in Thailand for a couple of years, but last 5 years outside of Bangkok, now moving back. Looking to buy some second hand furniture on Marketplace etc., but wondering on transport. Are there any apps now for short-notice booking for moving larger furniture? E.g. Lalamove? Can you hire a truck on short notice with some helping hands to carry on the app now?

Best would be short-notice availability (e.g. arrival to pick-up within 1-2 hours). Also happy to get recs for small companies/drivers, Thai language communication not a problem for me.

Cheers!

Hey everyone! I'm 20, from Bombay, and I'm currently in Bangkok on a last-minute trip. I'm here alone and honestly have no idea where to start!

I've heard a lot about Bangkok's nightlife and would love to experience it while I'm here. Could you guys recommend some good bars or clubs that are fun but won't break the bank?

Any local tips or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

My sister and I are coming to Bangkok for a fetish event in November.

We are hoping to find some cool places to party while we are there.

We are not in our 20's and prefer crowd that is not 18yo. ( there are reasons ) we party hard and our favourite scene is Berlin ( clock multiple cumulative shifts @ Church whenever we can iykyk).

Would you have any recommendations for us please.

Thank you

Hey all, family of 4 (3 adults, 1 teen) looking to visit 23-30 December and looking for hotel recommendations (decent hotel somewhere near BTS/ MRT- about 5 mins walk ideally) budget around Bht75,000 for 7 nights max ideally. May need 2 rooms in total I assume.

Have stayed at grande central point T21 before and liked that but that is double the hoped budget!

Also suggestions for a Xmas day Christmas brunch and anything else ‘Christmassy’ that may be going on

Thanks!

Did I miss any? I didn't include dance studios cos that would fill up the whole calendar, just open social dancing events.

Hi all, I am going to Bangkok next month and I am looking for secondhand Ralph Lauren shirts and cableknits. I found a store in bang sue junction called oldmulty_store. Just wondering if this store and others in that chatuchak area do sell authentic secondhand pieces and what are the price ranges?
Thankyou all.

Hi everyone, I’m going to Thailand for the very first time, and I was wondering what the best way is to get from Ratchadapisek Rd to Thammasat Stadium. It’s for a concert on a saturday, so is it a good idea to book a Grab there and back? And if so, should I book a Grab in advance? I’d love to hear all your suggestions!

Hey, I remember that Kru Kai Kaew statues were ordered removed from several spots in Bangkok.

Does anybody know if theres still a statue around somewhere in Bangkok or greater Bangkok?

Hi — looking for honest feedback from anyone who's done a rage room or car-smash experience (or would pay for one).

Planning a small private car-smash setup in Lam Luk Ka (Khlong 5), Pathum Thani — real workshop tools (hammers, crowbars, wrenches), safety gear provided.

Rough draft pricing in THB:

- Glass only: ฿500

- Seat cushion tear: ฿1,200 each

- Doors: ฿1,500–4,500 depending on size

- Rear end: ฿5,000

- Full car: ฿35,000 total

Does this feel high, low, or fair for Bangkok-area tourists or locals? Any similar places you've seen and what they charged?

Thanks.

Thinking of a private car-smash setup in Lam Luk Ka (Khlong 5), close to Bangkok — real workshop tools and safety gear. Would you book something like that? Any similar places near BKK?

Specifically wanted to test for ureaplasma so wanted to get a vaginal swab test. I don’t know if Red Cross would have them. But anyplace that’s affordable since they don’t have this specific test in my home country and I’m traveling so would want to test it.

Have you seen the new perfume machines?

I unexpectedly found myself in Bangkok for 3 days without any physical credit card or ATM card. I am not suggesting this as the best method to acquire Thai baht cash, just giving my personal experience. I paid for items from uniqlo using tap to pay, then needed to return the items, and was given cash back in thai baht.

I've also read that it is impossible to check into a hotel without a deposit on a physical credit card due to the technical limitations of tap to pay / apple pay to handle the deposit. Luckily, where I stayed allowed me to check in without any sort of deposit. Prior to checking in, a Thai friend who was helping me secure the reservation called the hotel and advised me that if I have no physical credit card, expect to pay 1,000 thai baht cash. In good fortune, upon checking in at the hotel, I was allowed to complete the check-in process without putting down any sort of deposit. My room was booked with Chase Sapphire Rewards points.

Want to preview some of the pieces going under the hammer on Monday? Come see us at Asia Lounges, right next to the Jewelry Trade Center.

We’re also listening: what do you think of Gem Night so far, and how would you like to see it evolve in 2027?

I work with growth author Colin Hodge, who wrote up the psychology behind the Parameter gelato saga, plus how Dairy Queen and Swensen's jumped on it without naming anyone: https://colinhodge.substack.com/p/the-100-gelato-and-meet-me-in-taipei

Curious what people here think. Did anyone actually try it, and was it worth 559 baht?

Any suggestions on pharmacy who supplies/courier overseas.
