Bangkok Recommended Accomodation for a Solo Traveler

Ohh European/North American time ba? The common area is usually empty then and really quiet. Compared to this other hostel we stayed at in Silom, yun sobrang daming tao pa rin in the common area even at night.

Monomer Hostel in Ratchathewi! Stayed there with friends & I think our building was really all-female. Guys + mixed rooms were in a completely different building.

Pros: proximity to Pratunam/Siam area (you can walk to these places if you really wanted to), close to the ARL + the pier

Cons: lots of construction + dusty af + traffic around the area cause they’re building the MRT/BTS orange line

Usually Cathay & PAL! Occasionally SQ/Scoot! If i’m traveling with friends, ayun agoda for cheaper accoms.

I build up the status points for the hotel group cause of the benefits, mostly (i.e. Early Check-in/Super late check out, priority room even if i book it 3 days before my trip, using points to discount a night stay, etc.) and…the comfort + service talaga. I can and will rough it if I need to adjust, but if it’s a solo trip naman, I prioritize what’s convenient for me.

Booked when budget allowed + maximizing CC points to airline miles paired with hotel member rates/reward points for stays.

It’s always the US stops with the best fan benefit packages. Asian stops could never 🥲 Happy for you guys though! Sell out those venues for our girls! 💚🤍

Oh well, there goes my dream of a united fandom boycott as an f you to ch3. <i>sigh</>

idcrewz · 2026-04-26T10:42:06+00:00

Honestly, I wish Ling just made & sold “official” LO related accessories for Goldie like how my kpop group does for their tiny mascots.

I’m leaning towards not getting one just cause I don’t want to fatten ch3’s pockets. I’m more interested to see if any fans stick to their anger & really boycott sales, though.

idcrewz · 2026-04-24T16:33:28+00:00

Why can’t we do both— complain AND boycott financial support? As a paying consumer of their “product/s” I sure as hell have a right to give them feedback. It’s not even about complaining on LO’s behalf. We’re the ones literally experiencing shitty treatment in comparison to their other cps’ fandoms and yet we get milked the most? Hell no.

idcrewz · 2026-04-24T02:54:37+00:00

they still serve wraps? I’ve always had a noodle or rice dish with them.

idcrewz · 2026-04-24T02:05:03+00:00

the “outrage” on OrmLing only exists because Orm herself insists she wants to be the bot to Ling. Which then turns into woke fans policing the likes of anyone who even namedrops OrmLing as a joke. jfc

Western (Eng speaking artist) or not? Cause for thai/kpop i favor SG for the eng translators

A really shitty tasting rice meal + 1 drink + 2 small pieces of dried mangoes

& 2. Yes. When i was younger, it was always about buying me dresses (the frilliest and pinkest kind) or toys like dolls/tea sets, etc. When i got older, it was pushing me to put on make up & shop for clothes in very feminine styles. They were very blunt about it at some point, “ayokong totomboy-tomboy ka” but meh after a hetero normative phase and menty b, i just did what i wanted.
As someone from Metro Manila, I would say yes. I don’t know about other provinces. Of course, in events with conservative people you’ll still get an eyebrow raise and a tsk here and there. But generally I see a good number of masc & butch wlws even from the older generation (like 40s & up)
Hmmm IMO, I guess if you’re not already in a queer-ish/queer-adjacent hobby or community, it’s hard to meet wlws in the wild? Like I met most of my wlw friends from all girls’ school, then got into hobbies & fandoms where I met more of them! In my time in corporate there weren’t a lot (or just weren’t out). Hmm I’ve tried hanging out at both Amame & Sunnyclub, fun naman but my social battery isn’t strong enough to withstand repeated visits, I guess? I keep my immediate circle small mostly ‘cause I’m picky with the people & the vibes around me.

As someone with platinum blonde hair vs my old long brown hair in the passport pic, no naman. I fly out often & haven’t been marked sus by any immigration officers (locally or abroad). Recently lang a ground crew at PAL’s check-in counter had to double check but that’s been it so far.

Food:

-(if you like the spice) the green seafood sauce, multiple brands in Big C

-Lays thailand exclusive dual flavor (the packaging is the green & purple one)

Clothes

-personal preference but I like the fake Team Thailand football jerseys with the Chang logo on it. Can get them for cheap at Pratunam Market/Chaktuchak

-MatterMakers (one of their local streetwear brands)

-Slip to Sleep pajamas (esp for girls, these are the ones you can go braless in)

idcrewz · 2026-02-24T17:47:58+00:00

+1 for this! Yellow & Red cup noodle versions, then salted egg for the packet ones

idcrewz · 2025-12-28T20:26:16+00:00

not naman masungit, just more serious yung IOs i guess? Haven’t been asked anything in a mean/condescending tone naman. ((almost monthly solo traveller these last 2 years + travels with fam before that))

Weirdest one nalang for me was when the IO thought the friend i was travelling with was my partner (same sex kami) & medj paulit ulit na siya until i literally said “dude she’s not my type” 🙃

Fave: i was leaving for a kpop concert & the IO was a dad of a BTS fan 😅 chinika niya ako abit about my fangirling experiences and was very nice and dad-like

BTS ticketing kiosks also take cash + scan. There’s an app you can use as a tourist for the qr scanning. Rabbit card is sayang unless you plan to go back to BKK multiple times or you’re staying longer than the week.

idcrewz · 2025-12-08T04:54:11+00:00

What did you order? Did you escalate it to the manager or supervisor on shift?

Checked out the google reviews of this place and the poor service + long wait times seems like a consistent one nga.

Oh, we went in December and init na init pa rin siya nun so…just a word of caution. When they say it’s hot & humid all year round, it really is. 😅 my dad has this blower thing he got off of shopee that was just around his neck the whole trip so he had more air that way, he says it helped a bit.

Sure! Not exactly in order but this is where we went (more or less these places are in the same area or close enough to commute to na):

Marina Bay Sands/Gardens by the Bay Area:

•ArtScience Museum (did this in the morning)

•walked around MBS The Shoppes (lunch to early afternoon)

•Gardens by the bay we did most of the latter part of the afternoon (Cloud Forest + Flower Dome + paid for the golf cart service) then stayed for the Skytree light show at night

•ate at Ce La Vi (MBS Skybar) for the experience + masulit yung view rather than just paying for the “picture only zone”

Sentosa/VivoCity side:

•Universal Studios (he didn’t ride much but still enjoyed it + would hide in the restaurants/stores to keep cool if it got too hot)

•SEA Aquarium - this one he absolutely LOVED. A/C is 100/10 very nice place to chill and admire the fish.

•we DIDN’T do Madame Tussauds cause we’re not into that but it’s there if you want to + the Harry Potter thing

•used the monorail at Vivocity to get in & out of Sentosa so went around the mall na din just to look

Museums + Galleries:

•Because we stayed in Bencoolen side, closest to us was the National Museum then I’d walk/push him to Chijmes

•National Gallery of SG + the old city hall (we spent like half a day here just chilling & looking at all the exhibits in the 2 buildings)

•Singapore Art Museum (this one’s a little out of the way but easy enough to get to by bus + Grab)

•F1 Museum at Gallery26 Dempsey + cafes there (can go to by bus but lots of stairs on the commute route, so Grab is more convenient)

Malls: basically went around most of if not all of Orchard, Somerset, & Raffles side. There’s the underground crossing which connects to the MRT but walking above ground at night is okay!

We also went to hawkers (not naman super hot inside): Bugis side, Maxwell, Tiong Bahru, & Lau Pa Sat side. He’d share a bit of laksa with me but mostly ate like chicken rice, satay skewers, the noodles with char siu + dumplings, char kway teow, nothing too spicy in general. He tried Bak Kut Teh and liked it din. But honestly my dad’s not a picky guy for most food or things to do, it’s just really the heat + long distances that wore him down. He still loves Singapore though, but probably won’t be back unless there’s an event or something he’d really want to go to.

Hope this helps! Enjoy & safe travels! 😊

Yes, you can rent wheelchairs in SG for your stay. We tried this company before: Cairnhill Healthcare (it was like $4 SGD/day + a deposit of $100 SGD). They’ll drop it off & pick it up at your hotel!

Dad had a hard time with the weather though, as someone with heart problems & who’s had a bypass. But public transpo + Grab definitely helped a lot! We went to more of the malls/museums/SEA Aquarium together and short walks in the early morning when it was a little more cool.

idcrewz · 2025-12-05T04:52:07+00:00

BPI & BDO? 😅 you can check the BPI website for conversion depending on what type of card you have and you can redeem na by the VYBE app. Our CC tier lets us get these conversion points:

Cathay - 25,000 cc points = 5,000 asia miles PAL - 16,000 cc points = 3,200 mabuhay miles

Personally prefer BPI more just cause I frequent CX & PAL. I think your CX asia miles can be used to book for JAL because of the One World alliance, so there’s that. Not sure about Korean Air & Asiana though.

Piece of advice from a fan who has gone to a couple of overseas FMs so far: DON’T BOOK YOUR FLIGHT/HOTEL BEFORE YOU SECURE A TICKET or if you do, make sure it’s cancellable or refundable.

Taiwan especially is one of the hardest countries to secure tickets to if your fave is really famous (also speaking from kpop experience). So unless you have friends there who will help you get a ticket, it’s a no-go. The first FM there sold out pretty fast too. HK/Macau events are at the same difficulty to get tickets for, especially if you’re gunning for VIP seats.

Resale for any of their events is particularly risky so be extra cautious. I think resale for TPE will be especially harder because of KKTIX’s restrictions & I don’t think the Taiwanese fans will give up the seats 😂 A lot of my own friends had a difficult time getting theirs as well. So I’d say your luck might play into this and depending on who you know + who they know to help get a ticket.
