Bangkok Q&A

I've seen people petting them and assumed it's safe, but I've heard they secrete venom and can cause infections.

I'm looking for a clinic that offers vaginal swab tests, specifically for ureaplasma, and won't break the bank. I've heard that some clinics might not offer this test, so I want to make sure I find one that does.

I'm looking for a reliable mosquito spray in Bangkok, specifically something that works well in urban areas. I've tried a few different products in the past, but I'm not sure what's most effective here. I recently bought a new spray at a 7-11, but I'm not sure if it's any good.

I've heard rumors that the Kru Kai Kaew statues were ordered removed from several spots in Bangkok. I'm looking for one to take a photo with for a friend visiting from Singapore.

I've been thinking of visiting Grand Palace in the afternoon before it closes, but I'm not sure what to expect. I've always seen it recommended to go early in the morning.

I'm planning to study Computer Science or IT in Bangkok and I'm considering Shinawatra University due to its relatively affordable tuition fees and free accommodation. I'd like to know about the teaching quality, lecturers, campus environment, and internship opportunities.

I'm a physiotherapist in Bangkok and I'm curious to know if locals also frequent the massage parlors or if they're mainly catering to tourists. I've noticed that some of my patients who are expats have been going to these places regularly.

I was at Tops supermarket using the self checkout and a woman with a little girl was waiting in line, despite another free counter being available. They picked up a handful of receipts from the bin I had just thrown mine into. I'm wondering if they're using them to return stuff or redeeming loyalty points.

My family and I visited Thailand last week and bought a lottery ticket from a vendor in Pratunam. We're planning to return to our home country soon, but I'd like to know if I can claim the prize even if I'm not in Thailand at the time.

I'm planning to study nursing science in Thailand and Shinawatra was one of the universities I picked out of two others. I've searched around a bit and heard some bad stuff about them but I'm not sure what to make of it.

My son is deathly allergic to shellfish and I'm worried about his safety while we're in Thailand. My doctor seems a bit flaky and told me that you cannot get an EpiPen in Thailand. Just looking for a sanity check.

I'm flying into Suvarnabhumi Airport at 11:55 pm and my hotel is nearby. I'm a black female solo traveler and I'm wondering if it's safe to walk to a 7-11 at 12:30 am.

I work in fashion in NYC and I'm looking to discover local Thai brands and designers in Bangkok. I've been to the Icon, Siam area, standalone boutiques, but I haven't found much beyond cheap clothes and high-end Western designers. I'd love to support some cool local Thai brands and designers.

I've lost my trust in Revolut since they've also shared confidential data from many customers by replying on a fake government mail. I'm living in Bangkok under a DTV visa and Dutch. I'm looking for alternatives to Revolut, but I don't want to use a home country bank, and I'm not a fan of fintech options like True Money. What are my options?

I recently tried to renew my driver's license at the Bang Chak DLT and was told I had to book an online queue, which is taking 3 months. I couldn't find any information about this policy change on their website. Who benefits from this change and why was it implemented?

I'm looking for a vet in the Phrom Phong area to remove a small fatty lump from my dog's chest. He had the same issue in the UK and it cost £250 to remove it, but the local vet here wants to charge 40,000 baht including an overnight stay and monitoring. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've been trying to find out if You Can See Everything (2026) is showing in Bangkok, but the theaters I've looked at don't seem to have it. Has anyone else tried to find it? I know it's an A24 film, so it's probably only in a few theaters.

I've been following the news about GAC's expansion in Thailand, and I'm curious to know how it will affect the practical ownership experience for EV drivers. Specifically, I'd like to know where the biggest charging gaps are - near home, on longer routes, or in the reliability of existing sites.

I'm a regular customer of Siam Paragon's food court and I'm looking for a specific khao soi stand that was previously there, which had a Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation. I'm hoping to find out where it has moved to or if it's still available somewhere in the area, as I've been craving it since my last visit.

I'm thinking of hosting lan parties for games like Counter-Strike and Call of Duty 4, but I'm not sure if there's a demand for it. Are there any popular games people would be interested in playing with others in real life?
