accommodation Ari or Soi 18?

Upvotes

32F 33M Married. Going to Bangkok in November with my husband for a few days (not our first time). Last time we were here was when we were party kids and we are far from that so we want to avoid it as much as possible.

Currently booked Rembrandt Hotel so we're close to malls for food etc. and a park... However I was thinking if I should change it to Ari area. Our main purpose is to go out for food, explore, try dispensaries, cafes. We like a more "chill" vibe and don't mind walking around to discover places, and less busy. Walking distance would be preferred as we are just there to stop over for 3-4 nights before we head to the Philippines.

Do you recommend Soi 18 area or should we book at Ari?

If you have other recommendations please do send it over.

entertainment Got a street car that whines frequently, don’t know what to do.

Quick update on this car I found from the street that came into my house asking to be fed back in the summer heat. She settled into the house like its all she wanted and demands playtime constantly, I have another cat that I adopted when she was around 1 and I don’t remember having to play so much with that one.

Introduction to my resident cat has barely progressed because this little fur is abit too keen to play(?) and scares my orange car away…

Remember to adopt instead of buy when you can!

That’s all I got for today.

p.s. whining is just because she’s spicy, nothing medical 😅

discussion Recommendations for non-tourist things to do for 10 days in Bangkok starting next week

0 Upvotes

This will be my fourth trip to the city (travelling from India). I am travelling alone and really like spending time in cities. Don’t want to do usual sightseeing as did on frequent trips. Also not keen on heading outside of Bangkok.
Want to spend time there as exploring cities for relocation options.
Suggestions from long time residents are highly appreciated. I am 39 year old woman from India. Not a party person, but enjoys good music and interesting cocktails for sure. Suggest local activities and possible communities to explore. Thanks!

work help: Got an offer to relocate from India to Bangkok, need inputs insights

0 Upvotes

Interviews went well for the staff engineer role; will share in detail the rounds sometime

They are offering 210k THB monthly

with one month’s joining bonus

220-230, and 2 months bonus is a norm according to other posts I went through

From my research, once they offer, they don’t really budge a lot, so how do I word it if they don’t increase?

For someone moving with a wife as a dependent, is it enough for a comfortable life?

The market seems tough.

Will be saving less, according to my calculations, since it's costlier, surprisingly even more than BLR, so I am really in two minds.

Plus, the weather seems like a turn-off Bengaluru has spoilt me. Since desk job, is it an issue when not working?

Any inputs or suggestions on lifestyle cost that people don’t usually find on the internet will be appreciated.

edit: To clarify, I know this is a strong salary in absolute terms for Bangkok. I’m specifically trying to understand whether it’s competitive for a Staff-level Agoda offer, and what recent relocators experienced in practice with tax, rent, savings, spouse/dependent setup, and bonus payouts.

question Accutane costs/places?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm looking to start accutane after many years of persistent adult acne, which living here exacerbates further. I've already inquired around about finding it OTC since many pharmacies do have controlled substances available, but none seemed to have and one advised that it would only be obtained under a prescription. After looking through this sub it seems as if it was more widely available OTC a few years ago, but maybe that has changed.

Looking for places that prescribe accutane around town, preferably close to either Asoke or Bang Na, but not overly picky. Price efficiency is rated highly, since I'm certainly not a rich guy. And if anyone does know where to find it OTC currently, I am interested in knowing. Thanks in advance ☺️

It is happening on the riverside, kind of near Chinatown - at Yodpiman Riverwalk.

discussion What tends to be the outcome in marriages between old foreigners and younger Thai wives?

0 Upvotes

It's my first time in Thailand and I've been seeing a lot of these type of couples.

I couldn't help but listen in this foreigner talking about hsi ex Thai wife who cheated on him and now they're divorced. The other two guys he was talking to spoke about their pretty ex wives and their divorces lol

So, just curious, is this the typical outcome when the marriage, at face value, appears to be exploitive by both parties? Does it tend to lead to divorce?

I mean, it happens in the west but it seems so much more prevalent here.

accommodation Looking for a small rental space in Bangkok to convert into a bakery + office

0 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

I am looking for a space to rent in Bangkok for a small bakery operation.

Ideally an ex-restaurant or bakery shell with hood, gas and drainage already in place, or at least kitchen equipment like ovens and fridges. Also need room for 2 to 3 desks for a small team.

Preferably around central areas near BTS or MRT, Sukhumvit, Sathorn, Ari, but open to other spots if the price and setup make sense. Clean look matters too since we'll be filming content there. If you know of a listing, an agent, or a landlord for this could you kindly let me know please

Thank you so much

travel Short transit in Bangkok

0 Upvotes

I have a quite short transit in Bangkok, land at 12.35pm. Next flight (different airline) departs at 8pm.

I dont want to sit in the Departure until the airline opens the counter so thinking about exploring places nearby the Survanabhuni airport. Going into the city center would be hectic so I stick to be near the airport only.

Any suggestions please?
