It amazes me how quickly any attempt to have a serious discussion on this forum always ends up mentioning prostitution in Thailand.

It's as if that is the only thing people know about Thailand, which reveals a lot about those posters, I suppose.

I actually think prostitution is very relevant to this thread

There is an inextricable link between foreigner trash and prostitutes

Yawn. Prostitution only exists in Thailand because of foreign trash? Really?

In Topic: Which Place In Thailand Holds The Best Memories For You?

The old Lee Gardens Hotel in Wireless Road.  I stayed there with a bunch of work colleagues for a few weeks, it was a wonderful place to stay in those days.

    Another thing I miss is the old 100 baht buffet lunches in all the five star hotels (except the Oriental, can't remember how much the buffet in Lord Jim's cost, maybe 400 baht).

    I miss the Country and Western Bar on the corner of Soi 19, great spot, a really good and decent management, lots of the girls married farang.  The Australian Embassy used to recommend the place (unofficially) as a safe and sensible bar for bachelors to go to.  And it was.

   I also miss Cleopatra's.  I hasten to add that my bar and sauna days are long gone, but I would love to be able to visit some of these quality places again.

Of course not.

Also be aware that some people are prone to DVT.  Sleeping the whole trip after taking a sleeping pill can be dangerous for some.

   Personally, I would forget about jet lag.  Do not drink or eat too much on the flight (other than lots of water),  get up and walk around as often as you can.  Do not drink too much coffee.

  When you arrive at your destination, again have a good walk around, do not go to sleep until the normal time at the destination.

  Get up with the sun the next morning, again have a walk in the bright sunlight.  That helps reset your circadian rhythms.

   Do not drink too much alcohol or eat too much until you are back into synch.

Lots of water and Vitamin B (which is where the Berocca comes in). Drinking more alcohol the next morning is a stupid idea, IMHO. Anybody who does that is actually, or potentially, an alcoholic.

Another smart thing to do is to drink lots of water during the evening, one glass of water between every drink.
