I’m currently staying in Suthisan and thinking about moving to On Nut.
One of the reasons I’m considering On Nut is that
it’s on the Green Line, so getting to Siam or Asok seems pretty easy, but the rent is still more affordable compared to those areas.

For people who live around On Nut, how is it actually living there ? Is it a good area for everyday life ? Just trying to see if it’s worth moving there.

Saw a man dead on the ground outside the hotel around 8pm, police and rescue on scene. Nothing in the news yet. Does anyone know what happened?

Flying to bangkok first time with my toddler. My flight lands at 11:55 pm. By the time i get out of airport, it will be really late like 1 AM in the night may be. How safe is it for female travellers with kids? Is airport hotel shuttle a good option? Or taxis are also safe? What should I know before I step out? How is the area around airport in general? Is it safe and busy? Not so safe and busy? Not so busy at night? Sorry for too many questions

I feel like I haven't seen a ripe mango in 2 weeks, just green ones. Even the sticky rice stall is out. One day, there were piles, and then suddenly, there were none. I know they're out of peak season, but this feels sudden.

Wasn't there a dramatic oversupply this year? Did I miss something?

Hey Bangkok! I’m visiting from the Philippines from Aug 29 to 7 and would love to check out the local live music scene.

​I’m particularly into indie, alternative, and local live bands. Are there any good shows, local gigs, or great live music venues/bars happening around these dates?

​Appreciate any leads or venue recommendations!

Hi guys, me and my partner are soon visiting Bkk (this is our 3rd time). We have absolutely fallen in love with Thai food and love trying new Thai places. So far we’ve done Nara Thai, Sri Trat, and some places in Koh Samui I don’t remember the name now.

This time we’re just doing Bangkok. Since we’re so new please help us with recommendations for Thai restaurants that you think are amazing and must try.

PS: we love the Thai spice levels. The spicier the food the better. 😁

Thank you in advance.

5 different condos over the years and never met one in a pleasant mood. Thought it might be something on my end for the longest time but they act seemingly grouchy with any one I see them come in contact with.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if it’s possible to walk through any of the hotels/buildings in this area to get from Sukhumvit 24 to the other side?

Google Maps makes me walk all the way around, but looking at the map, it feels like there might be a shortcut through one of the properties.

I’ll be walking with a baby, so saving a few hundred meters would definitely help 😄

Thanks!

EDIT : i forgot to add screenshot

I was at the market and ended up in the pet section… it broke my heart!

I live in a semi open old school town house. Recently I have been seeing some tiny droppings which I speculate are from roof rats.

What can I do to prevent them from entering? What may be attracting them? How do you guys deal with it if you have any experience?

My friend and I live in Bangkok, and we’re planning a proper out out like we used to do in the UK. From past experience, however, I’ve found the clubbing culture in Thailand to be rather different and takes some getting used to because the Thais don’t seem that keen on taking to the dance floor and would just congregate around tables, glued to their phones. The only place I really enjoyed the vibes was Koh Samui, where the international mix made it quite similar to clubbing in the UK with the crowd actually dancing to the beats. Music there was also great.

Bangkok, however, is rather a mixed bag and music is (for me) a hit and miss, with many venues predominantly playing dubstep or hardcore techno, of which we are not fans. Would prefer any mainstream dance mix or EDM like Avicii or David Guetta or something similar. But honestly, anything that’s dance worthy without being just techno is grand.

Another huge problem for us is, well, Bangkok being Bangkok and it unfortunately attracts a fair amount of creeps and men who are here for sex tourism, which means that many nightlife venues become the trading market for those services or at least where men go to see dances by the special show girls. While I respect those girls and their needs to work (illegally or otherwise), it really kills the vibes for female tourists/ expats looking to have a good night out. So, we are looking for a place that has little to no sex tourism undertone with good music, where people are there just to enjoy themselves. Drinks are not that important as we’re going to be doing pres at home before going out anyway, so even if their rum and coke was quite watered-down it won’t be an issue for us!

Any suggestions or past experiences shared would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

I'm traveling to Bangkok for 5 days with my 20 month old. If I can find a high quality, reputable babysitting service; I was considering leaving her with one for an hour or two so I could like get a massage and have a break.

I have a trip booked for 6 weeks, leaving end of September from Canada. I understand the new visa exemption rule takes place September 15th. Now I have a Roundtrip booked, however it is 6 weeks as mentioned, It was booked about 2-3 months ago. Now this will be my third trip to Thailand, I have never been questioned at immigration as I have stayed a total of 6-8 weeks in the past at a time with the 60 day visa exemption in the past. With this new rule taking place, I understand I will have to extend my stay at the immigration office. However, will I have problems at immigration or heading in to Thailand with the new rule taking place on the 15th, given I won't have a tourist visa entering, with my stay being 45 days instead of the 30 day visa free? How would i approach this as I have a month before departure

Hi! I’m a newbie to the rave scene. Is anyone heading to Culture Cafe this Thursday night? We can head there together if you’d like!

I’m a 21M studying in Bangkok right now. Would love to make friends!

Dear community members, does anyone know physical shop that sells 3D minature stickers at Bangkok area? Prefer physical shop since i can see the scene more clearly rather than online shop. If anyone know please share it and i really appreciate your help.

Below are some example of stickers i would try to find:

Has anyone else had the joyus experience of chatting with British or American expats, who you can tell drink every single day.

Why is it that they all seem to own huge corporations, or manage huge transcontinental businesses?

Is there a common competitive pub chat between them that they all size eachother up and feel a competitiveness to just straight up lie about what they do. I do understand this as when i was a teenage boy, we all exaggerated our stories, bank accounts ect to look cool, but i feel majorly across the expat community, you rarely meet an honest one who is confident enough to tell you they just do something normal 😂

Like we can tell immediately your not a ceo, or a millionaire

Hey all. What with the insane plethora of tailors around here, can anyone actually recommend a good one around the lower Sukhumvit area? There are so many and I don’t want to just pick one at random, I really need a good job done for a repair and duplication of a shirt. Cheers.

Hi guys.

We are living at Sukhumvit 39 right now. Paying around 55k for a 2BR Apartment.

Apartment ist quite new and 80sqm big. We are looking for new areas with similar apartments and prices. Maybe one of you can suggest me certain areas or buildings?

We are looking for a similar apartment but it should be near a mall and a park nearby. It should be pets friendly. Anywhere in Bangkok ist fine.

Just wanted to share this in case there's anyone here with some fitness goals and want to get your body composition (muscle+fat mass) tested for pretty cheap. Phyathai Nawamin are running a promotion until the end of October where it's 900 baht for a DEXA scan. I used to pay 3500 baht for these at BDMS so a pretty big price difference!

Drove there (25min drive from Asok), walked in without prebooking, went up to the information counter, gave them my passport and filled out a form, went up to the 4th floor, got vitals checked, waited around 15 mins, got the scan done, spoke to the doctor, paid (2nd floor), went home. Took less time than waiting in queues at BDMS (but less handholding too).

Very smooth experience, and mostly everyone spoke English, perhaps not as well as they do in the big international hospitals like Bumrungrad/Samitivej/Bangkok Hospital, but still pretty good. It included a doctor's consultation too (wasn't offered that at BDMS), and the doctor spoke excellent English and was super nice. I do speak Thai but try to stick to English when it comes to medical stuff

Found this insanely good value for 900 baht.
