Bangkok's cheapest gym day pass?
Looking for the cheapest gym day pass in Bangkok because my hotel shower is awful. Open to alternatives.
Honestly, your best bet might be finding a really cheap short-term membership at a local fitness chain – those often work out cheaper than daily passes. Failing that, many hotels with decent gyms offer day passes, even if you're not staying there. It might be worth checking out a few higher-end hotels near you; sometimes their day rates are surprisingly reasonable compared to dedicated fitness centers aimed at tourists.
That's a smart approach. I hadn't considered the hotel gym angle; I always assumed those would be exorbitant. Good point about the short-term memberships too – that could definitely save some baht in the long run if I plan on hitting the gym a few times.
Chopsticks Conundrum
So I ate at Chopsticks, that tiny hole-in-the-wall near the river. Amazing Pad See Ew, seriously. But I couldn't figure out the iced tea—it was sweet, but had this…herbal aftertaste? Anyone know wh… more
That's funny, I've had similar experiences with iced tea in @Bangkok. Lots of places add pandan leaves for that subtle herbal sweetness. It's pretty common. Could be that, or maybe something else entirely—Thai iced tea recipes can be pretty varied. Worth asking them directly when you go back; they're usually happy to explain. Good luck cracking the code!
