Any websites or blogs with updated info to refer to? 

 

Planning to go mid March...

Malaysia announced VTL for KL-Bangkok flights commencing 15 March 2022.

 

I am waiting for details of the arrangements to be announced before making a trip to Bangkok.

 

I do not know how many of the saunas and massage joints will be open/would still be open by then, but I am hopeful there will still be some around.  

 

I have not been a fan of Babylon, so I will not miss its demise.  I hope to visit Chakran and Sauna Mania.

you can try visit 39 underground sauna.

It is very much appreciated.

At least they have a plan to open up...not sure about SG....such high vaccination rates but still so conservative.

There are reasons for it, Dex. 

 

Thailand has a high dependency on tourist dollars, Singapore not as much.

Thailand has a higher tolerance of the number of people who will die, Singapore not as much.

does anyone gym at fitness first in bangkok? Wondering whether the rule 1 person per time is still applied?

Sorry for replying so late. I went back to V Club a few times after that, and tried Pla, Tae and Bobby. Pla and Bobby are hot and perfect for fun - massage was not the focus.

 

Speaking of focus, I’m enamored of Focus at I-Come Massage. He’s one of the most handsome masseurs I’ve ever encountered in Bangkok. Pity he doesn’t do more than body-to-body and a handjob. Or maybe I’m not his type… 😔

Will be headed back to Bangkok for a one night stopover at the end of February.

 

Hi, can i ask how much is the body to body massage at I-Come massage? and how much is the tips?

[subbtm]

Does anyone know how blucabin poshtel is? Is it a nice place to stay in? Clean, nice staff?

I paid 1,100 baht for two hours aroma oil massage. Tips wise, I gave 2,000 baht as I like him a lot.

If it's convenient, appreciate some info on the shopping situation also. Heard platinum mall and MBK are half closed? 

 

[Dreamaway]

By the way, anyone has done aesthetic treatments in Bangkok? Any clinic to recommend?

 

Botox, ultherapy, etc

[Chriswangli]

Hi,  will be in Bkk next week, any good recommendation for a massage?

[Cumslut69]

Landed.. Smooth at immigration. Need  to take pcr on arrival and cannot leave room till result is out. Cannot even get companion into the room. So strict. But come 1/4 pcr on arrival will be scrapped so will be less restrictive

Thank you very much for this information. 
 

I was wondering about the PCR test on and post 1 April 2022.  If the test is no longer required, there would not be a need to book and pay for a room in one of those designated hotels.

I believe the medical travel insurance is still required on and post 1 April 2022.

[Cumslut69]

That's right

What they’re scrapping is the pre-departure test. The on-arrival test is still required.

Today I was just surfing on the net, thinking of where I would stay if I were in Bangkok.

Just for fun.

I suddenly thought of Babylon because I once stayed in one of the duplex chalets.

Guess what? 

Babylon is closed. Permanently. 

Did you know?

Just return from Bangkok, the crowd at 39underground is relatively good when I went on their Friday evening, there were around 30-40 pax++ at sites and quite a lot of action going on at their dungeon and get to fuck a skinny bottom there. Their crowd is mostly youngsters.

Yes, Babylon closed soon after Covid-19 hit.

I think Babylon is rather big and its upkeep, salary and rental costs are high.  Once the crowd thinned, it was not possible to sustain with little or no income, so it had to close.

Anyone knows of any reasonable rate PCR Quarantine hotel on arrival? Do one need to book a drive & go package? If able to share stay with a companion? 
Anyone going  1st week of May?

 

thanks in advance any info will be good

you may use this website where I booked my package.https://asq.in.th/ (choose instant confirmation hotel* to cut down waiting time)

 

The lowest price for test & go in Bangkok is 3900 baht with transport+pcr pre-arrival test +5th day art test+a meal however the location wise for these hotels may not be very convenient. Thus, I only book for a night and subsequently book the hotel that I want to stay in for the remaining of the trip. You may share with a companion up to two people but both of you must book under the same reservation. Hotels tend to be stricter nowadays so may be difficult if you are trying to "smuggle" someone into your room but it is possible if your companion can provide the front desk with vaccination status or other documentation. P.S. City area test & go hotel range around 6000 baht. Basically, you are quarantined for 1 day, I arrived at 9 am on my first day and took my test at the hospital at around 10am and got my result at around 5 pm so basically, you cannot do much on the first day (I may be unlucky that my waiting time for PCR test took this long hehe).

 

After which you may use their replied mail to apply for the Thailand Pass that may take up to one week to approve and it is FOC to apply for the pass. However, if you need to get Thailand approval within a short period < 3 days, you may engage in their VIP service to escalate the approval speed but it comes with a 2500 baht fee (I did not use this service).

 

Besides, you are likely to receive a scam email from a fake Thailand pass website, stating that your application misses out on certain information such as your name and email, etc.. Do ignore the email as a warning message is being posted on their Thailand pass website on the incident. Go directly to their generic websites with the code issued to you to rectify any from there directly.

 

I had chosen to stay at The Legacy Hotel which is around 5 mins away from the MRT station Ministry of Public Health (MPH) station by bike/taxi 40 - 100 baht (rate varies depending on the traffic conditions/ grab rate depend on the search (advice to install grab app as it does come with some kind of promotion rate for user sometimes). Then I take the MRT from MPH station to Makassan station where my hotel is at 51 baht only (using their MRT card). You may choose to take a taxi from the hotel to the town that may range between 250-350++ depending on traffic conditions and route (additional charges apply if going by their expressway 60-140 bahts).

 

In conclusion, you may choose to either save on time or money, your choice.

P.S. Their MRT and BTS had expanded so it is quite convenient to travel to some rural areas and it is still expanding and really looking forwards to them in the future.

Thanks for the detailed report. This will definitely benefit others too.

[433722]

By the way, just for your information that most massage shops along Silom street are now charging 500 baht/ hour for their aroma oil massage, I believe the price had increased slightly. Remember before the pandemic, the Prime massage outlet used to charge 350-400 baht/ hour. Please ignore me if I remember wrongly. If you are visiting a supermarket like Lotus and making a bulk purchase, remember to bring your own recycle bags unless you don't mind paying for the plastic bag which a lot of their shops is charging for plastic bags nowadays during my visit last week.

[Dreamaway]

Thanks for the good info. Specially on the thaipass and the ASQ hotel.

Botox, ultherapy, etc non surgical type.

I wish to clarify for Test & Go dd they transport you to the hospital directly from the airport for your PCR test & back to the hotel?

[Dreamaway]

In some case, the PCR is at the hotel itself. 

 

For hospital types, I saw some drive through arrangement.

It actually depending on the hotel, some of them having a different procedures. For The Legacy Hotel, they actually sent me directly to the hospital where the PCR test was directly on the van itself. A staff in full safety equipment came with a testing kit and did the test at the van's door (Please check your details carefully, my name and passport number were wrongly printed out). Then I was sent to the Hotel after the test done.

I hope Thailand's plan to waive the PCR test comes through. 

I would love to go visit Bangkok again.  Right now, all the add ons - PCR test, hotel fees while waiting for PCR results, medical insurance, etc., all add up to a tidy sum.
