juice,

all these cards and g3 phones are compatible with mac and pc. you might want to check out phones and cards that are compatible with gsm's system, which is different from edge - i use it and get speeds that are comparable to adsl.

the best card on the market at the mo is the merlin made by novatel but i am not sure that you would find it in los.

http://www.novatelwireless.com/produ...rlin-v620.html

you might also take a look at the nokia 6680, which uses a usb 2 data cable or the later model, 6682 which i have and also accepts phone calls while hooked up to the internet.this is a g3 phone which works on both fast hook ups. small concilation is that the data cable is included in the package.

if you would like even more sophisticated hook ups then you can pick up a bgan sat phone for the paltry sum of $650.- depending on where you buy it.

the phone is around $450.- in los but the card might be more.

cheers

Appently there is a Thai National Holiday on Sunday, Feb. 12th.

Does any of the expats know, whether the bars, Nana, shops, weekend market, malls will be open?

sean,

is the connection with the edge card fast speed and will this card work for a mac laptop?

thanks

juice

edge is considerable faster than gprs (the latter is like 14 kbps dial up modem, remember those days?). obviously wi-fi is much better but in a pinch, edge is good.

it will work on mac (luv it when i meet a fellow mac user), although i personally don't have experience - still use wi-fi as my mobile phone doesn't have either edge or bluetooth and my company pays for all internet when i travel. best bet is mobile phone that has both edge and bt (bluetooth) so no wires, etc.

a couple of sites that will give you more information and clearer instructions:

howardchui.com - sign up for forum, you'll see a bunch of forums that go into this.
apple.com > support > discussion - forums will also discuss this, do search for 'edge'
cnet.com - although that is usually more pc oriented.

juice,

thanks, yes edge is the fast speed. i've gotten the edge connection on dtac pretty much everywhere i've been except remote places in the north where i use the gprs connection. dtac said a couple of weeks ago that they'd have it everywhere in los by the end of the year, but who knows.
i use a pc, but i've read that they work just as well with a mac pc.

cheers,

Jimmy Boy 99> Nice report, good to see someone who has done their homework and avoids the odd papasan rip off at the MP's, i'm a big favorite of Catherines, but as with anything, if you go there once a week for several months, the excitement fades and i was looking for somewhere else in the same area to try, after what you said about La Defense, it shall be my next visit.

Meaty - what's your take on Nataree? In the past, posts were pretty mixed but I've noticed recently some very positive FR. And they supposedly have 'university students' on part time basis? If you check it out, let us know or PM...might try next visit to LOS.

Boy99 - great FR and glad you stood your ground on prices. Catherine is 1500 for full two hours and 2 shots...pappasan just trying to screw you over.

I've been of experimenting with internet connections the last couple of times I've come to the LOS with my laptop and have pretty much come to the conclusion that rather than relying on wi-fi connections in hotels or Starbucks I'm more comfortable using a gprs or EDGE card. A gprs card basically turns your laptop into a cellphone and you can get a connection anywhere.
I posted a little about this once before, but now I've got it more figured out and can report that it works great. I wouldn't recommend it for guys just staying a week or so, but if you're in BKK, Pattaya or wherever for a while or need to work odd hours and be mobile it beats the alternatives and is pretty cheap compared to having to use Starbuck's.
You need three things:
1.) An unlocked gprs or EDGE card. You can buy these at home for about $200.00 from a telecom, on eBay for a lot less, or Pantip for about 8,000 bht. I've used a Sierra Wireless 750 and a Sony Ericsson GC 83.
2.) An Thai internet connection like the 300 bht KSC prepaid ONECARD deal that you can get at 7/11.
3.) A pre or post paid cell phone account with a Thai telecom. I use DTAC and can top up with the cards at 7/11 or whatever.

Basically all you need to do is put the DTAC sim card into the gprs card, pop that into the slot in your laptop and wait few seconds for it to find a signal then log on to your isp account. In BKK and Pattaya the connection is almost as fast as as good wi-fi connection and in Chiang Rai I found it faster.
Its cool because it works everywhere your cell phone works and you don't need to be wired to anything. You wind up paying 1bht per minute for the DTAC connection and some miniscule amout per minute for the minutes on the prepaid internet account.
Like I said, its probably too much of a hassle if you're just staying short time, but its cool if need some mobility or are up north where anything but dial up is hard to find.
Cheers,
Sean

I feel like I spent days in the airplane this time. Does it actually turn in to a longer flight the more you come? Plane touched down at 11:30 pm and then we took a tour of the tarmac for a half hour. Doesn't the air traffic controller know that the bars close at 1am? Oh, it's a conspiracy. By the time I got out of the airport it was 1am. Went to the taxi stand and got my cab, does anyone fall for the taxi hawkers inside, hope not. Went to the Majestic Grande, Majestic Suites couldn't take my last minute reservation but Anaan, the manager hooked me up with their other hotel the Grande for 2700 Baht, less than there quoted discout price. Not sure if they do this for everyone or due to my previous stays and making reservations for friends.

Majestic Grande is nice. Not the JW but a 4 star hotel. I've seen some complaints about the elevator and yes it's a little slow but chill, your in Bangkok. Pool is descent and the breakfast is good. There are a lot more families and couples than the Majestc Suites but that's too bad for them, Atleast someone is having fun there.

Got out of the hotel at 1:30. Nana bars were shut down and in general the area seemed to be quieter than my previous trip this summer. Maybe the scene moved? Anyone else notice this? Went to Nana hotel and the disco was open until 3am. Some lookers there, a few, place was packed. Finally talked to a cute 20 year old right at 3am and the bar closed. She took me to Sin Bar around the corner but it was closed too, she seemed surprised. I tried to buy some beer, no one would sell. Someone told me it was a holiday, I don't know. The girl wanted to take me to another bar, or me take her I should say. I got the feeling I was gonna be dragged around and forced to spend money on her. I'm not cheap but I can have that in the states, it's called a girlfriend. I hadn't slept on the plane and didn't want to play games so I cut her loose and got some much needed rest. I feel bad for the girl I get tonight, gonna have to make up for lost time.

I have 1 more day here then off to Pattaya for a few. I'll stay in the area tonight but want to check out Patpong on my last few days. I stopped by last time for an hour or so and saw some good looking girls there but didn't really check it out, I keep hearing it's making a comeback.

Last note was this. I was just outside Nana disco (angels) and this guy, mid 30's early 40's talked with me. I'm here alone so I'm up for any conversation in english...usually. The guy started with the usual, where ya' from and so forth. When I asked how long he was here, I saw where it was going. He said he was trying to get out and that someone had pick-pocketed him and he had no money. He said he was looking for contributions for the airport tax to be able to go home. I've heard stories similair before and on an occasion I've given in. Maybe scammed but I think I'm a good judge of character and sh*t happens. This guy however, was practically waving red flags on his own. As soon as I heard his story, as he was hitting me up, I said sorry, I'm not down with that. He said, "what, not down with helping a fellow American who is in need?" I wanted to clock the guy! A true piece of Sh*t! The more I declined him, the more persistant with his story he got, slightly aggresive. He babbled away for a minute until the girl I met came along. She then said she saw the guy taking money or at least trying to take money from other people and creeped her and others out. When you see people with missing limbs politely begging for money and then this JackA** comes along with his guilt trip BS and lies...well hopefully karma will catch up to him. I have no doubt he was scamming. First of all, he was in the disco. Then, after I got rid of him, I bumped into him again in 7-11 where he was BUYING something, piece of crap. He was hitting someone up there too. Anyway he's a skinny, gangly looking guy with wavy hair and a pony tail. He's losing his hair in the front as well as losing whatever self respect and dignity he ever had. Be on the look out and tell him to [CodeWord140]-off. I wasn't blatant enough with my retort at the time. Next time I should bring some counterfiet money along for just such a scenario. Well that's all for now. Anyone want to grab a beer, PM me.

[Pansted00]

Have any of you guys tried those pills supposed to dramatically increase the volume of your ejaculation.

If yes, do they really work and how long does it take before it works.

Anyone knows if and where they are available in Bangkok.

Thanks

flew into bangkok at about 10 pm in november (try to go in the off-season- not as crowded, more hotel availability at cheaper rates). shared a cab from the departure level (avoided the baht 50 fee on the arrival level) with a kuwaiti guy i met on the immigration line. i checked in at the hotel manhattan. they didn’t ask where the other occupant of the room was (i had booked a double). gave me a junior suite, even though i had only booked a standard room. nice enough, though could use more light.

noise from the construction is definitely audible in the morning but not unbearably so. the pool is pretty small and you have to go down a set of stairs on the outside of the hotel to get to it. the breakfast is pretty good: fruit, made to order eggs, other breakfast stuff that i don’t ever eat but could be acceptable to others.

hotel is definitely girl friendly (when i came in with a girl later the old guy who checked me in gave me a thumbs up, apparently approving of the girl. there was no problem either when i brought in another girl to replace the first one).

after checking in at our hotels, i met up with the kuwaiti guy at rainbow 4 in nana plaza about 12:30 am. i didn’t find the girls very attractive. the kuwaiti guy tried to get two different girls to go with him but each wanted either 3000 or 4000 baht, so he passed. we then went outside to the nana hotel parking lot to wait for the parade of girls from the bars and clubs to start. we didn’t see anyone worthwhile come out, so the kuwaiti guy started talking to the touts that hang around the parking lot and was told about a club that was open after hours. the tout called it the mtk club (it’s actually called the stardust club, just off ratchdamri past petchaburi). i am always leery of these touts and tried to talk him out of it but he really wanted to go so we went.

there were about 20-30 girls sitting and standing at the end of the club, with tables and stools for the customers in front of them (sort of like a fishbowl without the glass partition). the papasan told my friend that the price was 2500 baht for all night. he talked him down to 2000 baht per girl for two girls. my friend picked two girls and left. i was torn between one girl with a nice face and another with great tits (i didn’t want a double because i didn’t want a possible hassle at the hotel and i was saving my energy for a session at the eden club the next day before i left for cambodia). chose the face and left with her after getting the papasan to agree to 2000 baht for all night.

had an ok session with the face. she then started to get dressed. i said what happened to the all night i paid for. she said that she had to get home because she had to go to school the next day. i took her back to the club and told the papasan what happened. he, the mamasan, and the girl began arguing while i stood there. the mamasan then took me into the club and said pay another 500 baht and get a new girl until late in the morning. said ok, gave her the 500 baht and a 100 baht tip to the mamasan (at her prompting), and took the great tits to the hotel. (one of the girls the kuwaiti guy had left with was there when i brought back my girl, so apparently this girl also had some problems with the all night concept.)

the great tits was kind of standoffish at first because she was insulted that she was my second choice. after i reassured her that it could have gone either way, we finally started a session. during the session i pulled out and found the condom covered with blood. she then said that her period must of have just started (yeah, sure). that ended the session but i was too tired to go back to the club and get another girl and she had such great tits that i was content to just get oral and have access to her tits until the morning.

after she left at about 11am, i checked out of the hotel and went to the eden club. i didn’t see anyone in the anal side that i wanted to do and i wasn’t too interested in the non-anal girls either so i passed and got an oil massage next door until it was time to go to the airport. be advised that it is impossible to get a cab to take you at the meter rate to the airport during rush hour- most will ask for 300 baht. got one for 260 baht.

i returned from cambodia (see separate post) 10 days later. took the bus from the airport to ekkamai and the pattaya bus. checked in at the sandy spring hotel (baht 1200 double with sea view, no breakfast) booked through scandibar.com. nice room (although limited sea view) and nice check-in staff. nice pool but never took advantage of it.

again found the pretty girls in pattaya to be few and far between. checked the beer bars, discos, soapies, soi 6, and soi post office. i found the best girls to be at the soapies, and even then there were only a few that looked good to me, and one gorgeous girl in a soi 6 bar. the soapies (sabai room, sabai dee, and sabai land) are all still 1600 baht for 1.5 hours.

the best looking girl was one from southern thailand at the sabai room. when i asked her why she didn’t work in bangkok and make more money since she was so beautiful, she said that she was too dark (she wasn’t that much darker, if any, than i am, and i am pretty fair) for thai men and would not do well there. their loss; that’s what they get for looking at skin color and not whether the face is beautiful.

amidst all the hags on soi 6 i saw a beautiful girl who appeared to be leaving her bar. i entered and one of the hags latched on to me. i told her i wanted the beautiful one and she got her before she left. i asked how much and was told 300 baht for the room and 600 baht for her for an hour. i told her that it used to be 600 baht total but she wouldn’t lower the price so i said ok (i wasn’t going to not bang her for 200-300 baht, considering how few pretty girls i was finding). she looked even better naked- great body. ok session, but the hour ended when i finished, not after an actual hour. didn’t find her again when i went back.

returned to bangkok and stayed the weekend at the hyatt (using free nights). checked out spasso (free admission for guests). one nice looking girl but she kept on brushing off men that tried to pick her up. thought that perhaps she wasn’t a pro but saw her leave with a black guy that i hadn’t seen her with before when the club closed so maybe she was.

went back to stardust club but couldn’t find anyone i wanted. papasan kept on pushing me to take a girl or get a drink. finally ordered a beer to shut him up. mistake: 200 baht for a small singha. left and taxi driver who took me there said he knew another club that was open, also 2000 baht all night.

at the club i saw one girl i liked and chose her. the papasan tried to raise the price to 2500 baht but i told him that i was told the price was baht 2000. he said okay and i left with the girl (probably overpaid but cheap enough). hotel security took her id, no hassles. had a session with her. then she starts to get dressed. i said where the hell are you going, i paid for all night. she said that it was only one shot. since i didn’t know where the club was or the name, i couldn’t take her back. i probably could have told security not to give her her id back to make her stay but she wasn’t that good the first time and any subsequent ones would have been even worse, so i chalked it up to experience (and tiredness and over-eagerness) and let her go. moral: confirm with the girl, not the papasan, how long she is going to stay.

moved to the woraburi hotel, down (way down, a 10-15 minute walk, although the hotel has a free shuttle from the hotel to nana plaza) on soi 4. adequate room and breakfast, ok pool, a little noisy at night because of street traffic. $30 double (high season rate, only hotel available).

made the round of the soapies- poseidon, mirage, emmanuelle, hi-lite, caesars, nataree, amsterdam (formerly champs elysees), cleopatra, cupidy, embassy, halem, angara, catherines, la defense, mona lisa, and victorias secret (?), about a mile from la defense (left at the 7-11 past la defense). i found the best looking girls to be not at the expensive soapies but the fishbowl girls at catherines and the sideline girls at nataree. there were some good-looking girls at cupidy but the idiot who talked to me said the price was 2700 baht for the fishbowl girls and 3200 baht for the sideline girls. i told him to go to hell and left. there was one sideline girl at angara that i did- 2000 baht for ok session.

i found the girls at most of the other soapies to be older and more hardened than at catherines and nataree. i was particularly unimpressed with the models at poseidon. not particularly attractive and not a smile from any of them as i looked them over. i guess they were waiting to be chosen by the high-rolling thais and asians instead of a farang. the were two girls at amsterdam that i would have done when i went there, even at 5000 baht each, had i not just finished at nataree and been spent.

the catherines girls do not speak any english at all and are not really used to farangs (i only saw one other farang the 4 times i went there) but they are young, with the four i had ranging from 19 to 23, and pretty (although those were the only girls i would have done there anyway). the price i was quoted at catherines was baht 2000 for two hours. fortunately, i had written down the prices of catherines and la defense from the bkk tonite or stickman website. i showed the prices to him and asked him when the prices had changed. he then said ok, 1500 baht.

one of the girls i had, #92, had the most beautiful pussy i’ve seen in a long time- perfect lips, bald, great taste. however, she was a bit of a dead fish. only one of the girls i had, the 19 year-old, did the bj, then bath, then sex routine. one girl looked as if she were half-white based on her features but she said that she was all thai. she gave the worst service and ended the session after the first round with almost an hour to go. she obviously got no tip. i didn’t make an issue of it because i was leaving that night to go home and i still had to go to nataree for a last session there.

the best soapie session i had was at la defense with #74 (i think). 1800 baht for two hours. bj, bath, sex, lots of passion (faked of course, but still nice). gave her 400 baht tip.

only had the time (and stamina) for four sideline girls at nataree, though there were at least 4 more that i would have liked to do. they run from 2000 baht to 3000 baht, though mostly about 2300 baht, and are young, cute, lots of fun and have bubbly personalities, although only adequate to good service. was able to joke with them a bit while i was deciding whom to choose.

the girls looked really cute in the soapie. however, i happened to see the first sideline girl i had there at a fruit stand near nataree on what was apparently her day off. at first i didn’t recognize her since she looked pretty plain and not anyone i would pay any attention to, let alone pay to have sex with. the make-up person at nataree does a hell of a job. probably true at the other places also.

my last session in bangkok was at nataree before i left for the airport. seated near the door (the 3000 baht ones sit near the door) was a beautiful girl i had not seen before. i asked her if she spoke english and she said yes. i said lets go, paid and went to the room. she was a student at a university studying computers. great body and face but no stamina, telling me i had broken her pussy because i took so long to come.

never found anyone worthwhile in the soi 7 beer garden or the nana plaza parking lot. went into a few bars in nana and soi cowboy but was not impressed enough with the talent to bother with negotiations, especially after afternoon sessions at catherines and evening sessions at nataree. relieved the late-night need with some sessions at [CodeWord901]’s instead.
