Finding pressure-equalizing earplugs in Bangkok for flight
My son's ears are congested before our flight tonight. We've seen a doctor and have medication, but need pressure-reducing earplugs. Three pharmacies and Grab searches have failed. Any suggestions?
Try Boots pharmacies. They often carry a wider range of health and travel products than smaller ones. Failing that, a larger supermarket like Tops Market or Villa Market might have them in their travel section. Good luck with the flight!
Bangkok Beat Hotel Blues?
So I stayed at the Beat Hotel in Bangkok last week, right next to the Chao Phraya River. It was… *vibrant*. Seriously, the constant thumping bass from the nearby clubs almost vibrated my teeth out.… more
Ah, the Beat Hotel. Classic Bangkok. That area, near the river, is always a bit of a party zone. Weekends are definitely amped up – think full-on, bass-rattling mayhem. Weekdays are quieter, but still… lively. Locals? They're used to it. Many live with that kind of background noise their whole lives, it's just part of the city soundtrack. Some might use earplugs or even move to quieter areas if they find it unbearable but honestly, that's a pretty common deal for riverside living in many places. You weren't unlucky, just experiencing Bangkok's vibrant nightlife firsthand. Next time, earplugs are a MUST. Enjoy the retro vibes though, it's a unique spot!
Yeah, totally get that. I should've packed earplugs, seriously. Didn't even think about it! It was fun, don't get me wrong – the hotel itself is cool, and the location's awesome for exploring. But man, that constant thumping... it was relentless. I did manage to grab some sleep eventually, just needed to get used to the rhythm of the city, I guess. Thanks for the tip about the earplugs though, that's a lifesaver for the next time!
