it is most definitely possible to get stamped out at suvarnabhumi and then get the re-entry permit. you don't have to do it first. if there isn't much of a line for the immigration desks, i go through there first. i've done it three times in the last 15 months and only waited for the officer to put the stamp in the passport (about 5 minutes). zero wait at the counter where i paid the 1,200thb. two of these were mid afternoon and one was around 9pm.

you can google 'bumrungrad health screening programs' and there is a chart that shows prices for various packages and what is done in each package. the 'executive' is approx. 14,000thb. i've done that one a few times. i remember paying 18,000thb at one point but maybe they dropped a test or two. i'm no expert on these things but i like the stress test as a check on the heart. i had one that required alot of waiting for each test (you go room to room). but the others i did were all fairly quick. arrived around 7:30am and done by 11am. (the long one was about two hours longer). they have an area with food available so you can snack on some stuff once you've done the blood test and couple other things. i'm sure bumrungrad is not the lowest price option. but it is convenient to where i am and i've had all kinds of stuff done there. i visit several times a year. satisfied with the service.

i'm fairly certain my friend was offered paxlovid at bumrungrad in september 2022. i don't think you can get it and store it on the shelf at home. need to be infected and show up at bumrungrad.

rawhide was not one of the 'arab bars'. it is closed right now. sahara is gone, it is something else now, but i think there is a sahara sign in front of deja vu. did sahara become oasis ? i've seen some girls in front of midnite but it isn't open every night. i think deja vu also has some girls but kiss, spice girls, and rio seem dark. per one comment here, dollhouse is worth a visit although they did raise the happy hour price to 110thb and i think they reduced the happy hour to 9pm (9:30 or 10pm before). geisha is a good spot in nana, take a look at the small jacuzzi area. i think it is 170thb for drinks there. maybe 200thb for lady drinks, i don't pay much attention to the pricing.

i got a 90 day O august 2021 from CW. went back to do one year extension in mid october 2021 and only had to supply the bank book (plus copies of the pages). no statements. same when i did the first renewal of the one year in oct 2022. i originally had an O that had expired as i'd been outside thailand for awhile.

Oasis on cowboy is a 'normal' bar/pub (no ladies on stage). food is good. they have pool tables upstairs. this is close to the soi 23 side of cowboy. fairly short walk from your hotel. there is a pedestrian overpass to cross sukhumvit at soi 18. past cowboy on soi 23, i like a place called Craft. it is an outdoor beer garden of sorts with a wide ranging menu (mainly western though). the craft beer is expensive (+/-300thb for a pint) but non craft beer is available (150thb). most nights they have a DJ that plays some music. across 23 from Craft is the Clubhouse, standard pub type place. i believe they also have pool tables upstairs.

the hospitalizations are probably related to the edibles. if you don't know how much is in the edible, it can be a problem. and others probably don't know how much is too much and eat too much. they learn the lesson the hard way. some people don't handle the edibles very well, regardless of their strength. as a member pointed out, it can trigger anxiety/panic attacks. not a fun side effect.

law firms can help to get bank accounts. maybe siam legal has a representative in the OP's area ?

the first time i went to CW to do this i was expecting the non O to start the day the stamp was placed in my passport (this was 2017). i was trying to get my annual extension to be a mid june date. i was surprised when i got my passport stamped and the non O began on the date of application (early march), so i ended up with may 31 as the annual extension date. the second time, it was the same way. i went early august to apply and got oct 31 (per my previous post) it may vary, i'm not sure, but it was the same the two times i did it (2017 and 2021).

i've done the visa exempt to 90 day non O to one year extension at CW twice. the 90 day non O begins on the date you apply, not two weeks later when you get the actual stamp in your passport. your one year extension date will be 90 days from that date you apply for non O. as an example, i arrived in mid july (45 day exempt entry), i applied for the non O on aug 3, oct 31 is my annual extension date.

if you go to CW in person, it is possible you will not be fined. i did a 90 day report a couple weeks ago, i missed the previous two 90 day reports and was expecting a fine. i even told them i failed to do my last two as i handed them my form and passport. they immediately said 'no problem, no fine'.
