Bangkok Reports

[TomSf]

BKK traffic is the worse I have ever seen it. Just endless cars that barely move. The Raja hotel is covered up so its either being torn down or remodeled. I could not see it because of barriers. The Russian girl that used to work there now work on Soi 3. If you stand in front of Grace hotel walk up the hill till you see the big hospital on the left. The hotel next to the hospital is where the girls are. The touts are in front of the hotel. Before there used to be only 1 or two touts. Now there is like 8 of them. Each one has a different price for the same girl. 3600, 3000, 2600 etc. Only 8 Russian girls working just OK looking. Nothing like the 30 that used to work before all much hotter. One of the touts looks like a Russian gangster. I was kind of worried if I was going to be assaulted be him.

The only busy tourist area was Soi 4 by nana plaza. Many African girls and many very pretty. They want big money too. The starting is 2000 baut but some can be talked down to 1500 baut. Thai girl are still 1000 baut. BKK was cool just too expensive especially at the massage places that want 1800- 2200 baut.

Someone here once posted the comment: I get everything off the street. Women, food, ED drugs. Well, I thought that sounded reckless at the time, but that became my modus operandi after the 3rd day.

Yep. The tourist restaurants are horrible with regards to food safety. Don't know why, but every stupid european breakfast house has the most unsanitary food. I get very sick eating at the tourist restaurants (both Thai food and western food ones) as these people couldn't care if I was eating dead rat heads, they'll never see me again. So I keep to the street food, as those cooking for the locals are relying on repeat customers and are there for years at the same spot. And yeah their food does taste better than the restaurants. They cook 1-2 things and are good at just that.

Thailand Bangkok Upscale Suggestions.


Tipping is easy if you have a good time give them 500 baht and if you had a great or memorable time give them 1,000 baht and if the service is bad nothing and complain to the manager.

I was taken to an upscale massage spa (not a sexual place) by my middle class Thai GF. The service was 2 hours long and outstanding, I tipped THB 200. My girl told me I had over tipped, and should not give more than THB 100.

As a foreigner, it's best to be guided by the local market.

I am happy for you that THB 1000 is no big deal, and it's entirely up to your own discretion.

Where I do get annoyed, is you are encouraging other newbies to throw money around when BKK sexual services are already ridiculously overpriced.

My Thai dentist just did the following: 1 x ray, 2 x novocaine jabs, remove old crown, insert temp crown, two hours work for her and the nurse, the bill THB 1700.

Can you see that THB 1000 as a tip is perhaps a little bit over the top?

Someone here once posted the comment: I get everything off the street. Women, food, ED drugs. Well, I thought that sounded reckless at the time, but that became my modus operandi after the 3rd day.

Yup, my BEST girls in SEA have all been SW, or FL from places like LA Cafe in Manila, and Soi 7 Beer Garden, Bangkok. Even Hard Rock Cafe (yes that one) in Jakarta. I have a barfine phobia.

As for food, If you do eat off the street, NEVER visit a Thai wet market!

But even if you do see a market and leave grossed out, understand that all bar the high end restaurants, and global chains, get their protein from these markets.

So you may as well eat off the streets anyway. Street food also sits around a lot less than in bigger establishments, and wok seared food has had a lot of the pathogens destroyed by heat.

The high end places are using bulk suppliers like Makro (same same costco) where standards are much more universally hygienic.

ED street drugs; well, the kamagra gel seems to be the one I'd trust as the real deal, but it gives me unpleasant side effects. Do not buy Cialis off the street, it will either be fake, or long since expired.

Here's a tip, genuine Cialis works for up to three days per dose, usually 48 hrs guaranteed.

You can ask to break open the pack and buy just ONE single pill at most mom and pop drugstores for around THB 500 (The pharmacist on Soi 22 a few doors from Buddy's restaurant will certainly do this) which is cheaper than it sells in Australia where it's made!

This pill can then be cut with a pill cutter into two half doses, which if you do not have actual ED is more than enough to get you nice and firm for the same 48 hrs.

Bang bang, go shoot her down!

[Blr City]

I am landing in BKK around 2 AM. Are girls still around at 3-4 AM in the morning.

Planning to stay in Ambassador hotel for 2 nights.

Main reason for picking this hotel is the climax club. Any experience around this time?

[Syzygies]

You are talking through your backside as usual. Tom yum place is a clear fish soup. Tom Yum Gung, can certainly have coconut milk in it and frequently does.

Nope you are wrong. Really should check your facts before shooting your mouth off, even if you imagine a coconut taste in your Tom Yum.

https://www.eatingthaifood.com/tom-yum-soup-recipe/. I provided this web site with the recipe.

I quote them:
"Contrary that many people think tom yum is made creamy with coconut milk, it's actually nom kream tiam (นมครีมเทียม), which is canned evaporated milk (as opposed to sweetened condensed milk). ".

You can check plenty of other Thai recipe web sites. I checked several. I also checked with a Thai chef I know well. Suggest you do the same.

In Thailand, it would be extremely rare for some idiot to put coconut cream in Tom Yum Gung. Don't recall it ever happening. Did happen to me in a Thai takeaway in Germany resulting in the Tom Yam being more like Curry Laksa.

Coconut milk is supposed to be for Tom Kha Gai.

[Syzygies]

I should also point out the the Tom Yum you frequently get served in Bangkok and surrounds is far too sweet. Thais have a sweet tooth with food. I much prefer the more savory version you get in the northern provinces and in Lao.

Yes important to order Thai food modified to your personal taste. If ordering Phat Thai or Tom Yum or even Gaeng Jeut, I would say no sugar, no MSG, and no garlic to suit my taste. Some dishes I don't order at all, as ingredients are too powerful (and too sweet), e. G. Phat Kraphao.

For Som Tam, I have to say not sweet, not salty, not spicy (one chilli only), no raw peanuts, no beans (raw), no crab, no Plaa-Raa (pickled mud fish), no MSG, and no garlic. They look puzzled and say that no one could eat it, so plain and tasteless. I get flavour from dried shrimps. It is too much hassle to even order it, so modified. Thais have a hard time following instructions as well, since their hand just adds things automatically with brain disengaged.

True that Thais in Bangkok appear to add a tablespoon of sugar to everything (no good for low carbs diet), and a spoon of MSG to most things. Pretty much the same in Isaan regions. Can't comment on North and Laos.

Having the set of 4 bowls with spoons to adjust taste on each table is a good idea, sugar, chili flakes, vinegar, fish sauce maybe or chillies in sauce. I don't use any of the flavour adjusters, occasionally use the chili.

I get food off the street or in the prepared street stalls all the time. Does not scare me, assuming its freshly prepared. Far more risky for me to eat a restaurant dish with big river bred prawns in it. Beware of street carts with little or no business where the ingredients like meat and seafood may be too old and spoiled. They could not afford to throw it out and tried to keep too long.

I always use the sniff test on food, since my nose works all too well, especially if has been kept and not freshly prepared. If food is to be heated up, sniff again after heating. If smells too sour or weird, throw out.

We are trying to get our account approved in the correct channel. Hopefully this will get done soon. Meanwhile, let me try to post.

Answer to your question should be explained on our blog. I would also like to ensure you that ratings will never be removed. For those of you that are technical you can actually see on the JSON response while fetching availability that we do not remove ratings but only show ratings if the companion has had 3 or more ratings.

Yes, I see that on your website blog now and understand the rating system is still a work in progress. Thank you for responding here. While no rating system will ever be perfect, I think it is great that you are providing a means for customer feedback while at the same time giving the girls an added incentive to do their job well, higher ratings very logically and likely leading to more bookings for the girls with higher ratings, of course. I wish more P4P venues offered as much and not just those related to the escort option.

[Eszpresszo]

What is hilarious in all this is that you see perfectly cooked Thai food made by street vendors on a small bicycle trolley with basic tools and means. Hundreds of these.

But none hired to cook in a Thai restaurant.

Problem is they won't find the very same herbs, ingredients and also use to cook in a way not suitable to the stringent health regulations of western countries.

Indeed, I was wary of eating Thai food off the street. But, I noticed most sit down restaurants in my area where I was staying were oriented to foreigners whether they be English, Australian, Middle Eastern or Indian. And they were not cheap, save for the Indian places and those were not dirt cheap either. One day I was walking down Soi 11 and I passed a new bar under construction, and I noticed a worker eating happily from a bowl. He saw me looking at his food, smiled and held up the bowl, saying "You like Thai food!" Immediately after that, I stopped at the first food cart that had seating in an adjacent parking lot, and ordered what was being served, with a Coke pulled from an ice chest. After that I ate mostly at the street carts and street cafes that catered to Thai people. I didn't go into many sit-down restaurants, preferring to literally rub shoulders with the locals at crowded sidewalk tables. Not only was the food cheap, but it tasted very good and I did not get sick once. Maybe a bit of after burn around the anus when I expelled the stuff, but at least if came out solid. I liked the Thai food I ate in the US, but after 9 days in Thailand I became a believer.

[LaoMan]

Correct.

Proper Tom Yam has two styles, clear soup, and milky soup. The second variety is achieved by adding milk, but not coconut milk. I never experienced Tom Yam containing coconut milk in Thailand. It would be incorrect. Sometime the seafood clear soup variety is called Po Taek, meaning the fisherman's trap broke open releasing a variety of seafoods.

Check any good websites for ingredients of Tom Yam. You will not find coconut milk. I assumed that people noticed Tom Yam never tastes of coconut at all.

As BionicMan points out Tom Kha Gai is a different type of soup (Chicken Galangal soup). It does have coconut milk in it.

You are talking through your backside as usual. Tom yum place is a clear fish soup. Tom Yum Gung, can certainly have coconut milk in it and frequently does.

Thailand – Bangkok Upscale Suggestions.

Be sure and use the Concierge at your hotel to help set up reservations at the restaurants and drivers to get you around town. Be sure to get a business card (here they say name card) of the hotel and keep in your pocket to show a taxi driver if you get lost from your driver.

Restaurants.

Nahm Restaurant in the Metropolitan Hotel was just named one of the best restaurants in the World. While I have not eaten there my clients who have been say it is as good as any place in Singapore and that is saying a lot. Nahm in Thai means water. www.nahm.como.bz.

Ladies.

Bangkok Gold Escorts – The owner is from the US and is married to the mamasan who is a Thai lady. It is expensive for Thailand but higher quality ladies who come to your hotel room. You can also get 2 for a 3-some similar to what you get at The Eden Club but with much higher end ladies.

www.bangkokgoldescorts.com

www.edenbangkok.com – This is the famous Eden Club and while it is not the best it is still one of the best shows in town. You get 2 ladies for 90 minutes and as many pops as you can muster. You choose the ladies and they take you up to the room with a suitcase full of toys. They are bi-sexual and will do literally anything you want for 90 minutes.

High End Soapie Massage Places – Lord is the best, it is new and has the highest end ladies but I also like Poseidon it has been there longer and has a great reputation. Below the 2 site links is the detailed map of the area and there are another 8 or more places that offer similar services.

The standard service is you walk in and are met by a captain or manager who will ask what you want and you just ask for the best of the best and they will keep taking from area to area until you find a lady or ladies you like. You will also want a nice room so ask for a VIP room (not a party room those are for many guys and ladies). The lady will help you undress and you will get in the bath together and she will clean you and meet you in the bed for whatever you want.

Just be upfront and open with what you want and they will accommodate you and do not be shy they have heard everything before.

Tipping is easy if you have a good time give them 500 baht and if you had a great or memorable time give them 1,000 baht and if the service is bad nothing and complain to the manager.

Yep. In some Thai Take away or Imbiss shops in Germany, there are Thais cooking Thai food, but they have no experience cooking Thai food at all when they lived in Thailand.

Above all be very careful where you order western food in Bangkok. Thais don't have a lot of clue about how the dish should be without significant training.

What is hilarious in all this is that you see perfectly cooked Thai food made by street vendors on a small bicycle trolley with basic tools and means. Hundreds of these.

Went there on a Monday night, bit of a slow night relatively speaking, I could even get a seat, imagine that.

There was a girl dancing naked who had a nice pussy, big tits and a big smile, so when she threw herself at me after her stint round the chrome pole I bought her a lady drink. I am pretty sure her name was Bao and her number was 72. Barfine was 700 and we agreed on 2500 for short time. Went to the short-time hotel at the other end of Soi Cowboy and bought a condom.

I have to say her service was not very good. She was very dick-shy. I mean, Gosh, you're in this business, if you need some lube to take a farang then at least carry a bottle in your purse, no? At some point I asked her to be more sexy, and to her credit she made some effort and managed to bring me to satisfactory completion. But it was one of those moments to be forgotten.

Plus she was coughing because she'd had a cold or the flu for 2 days and looked scarily contagious, so now I'm overdosing on VitaminC to boost my immune system just on the off chance.

Not sure how you feel about negative reviews, but here is one.

Dick shy girls are not uncommon. I must have mentioned this a thousand times already. LOL No. 72 is not a girl I have paid attention to. Don't recall the number. Girls cannot be trusted to have lube. They may imagine a 5 min quick fuck with a small dick.

I always take my own lube and condoms and I have good quality non sticky lube from OS. This may seem impractical however you can buy lube from shop on Soi cowboy, or Asoke Place ST Hotel does have very small sachets of lube, available (can't recall how much). Unfortunately each sachet contains so little, you might need several of them. LOL. So better to buy at the 7 Eleven next to Asoke Place ST Hotel.

There is no cure for the common cold. Its a virus. Some medicines are useful to dry up runny nose or avoid throat tickle causing coughing.

Vitamin C and Echinecha are general considered to be bullshits remedies, folklore, or worthless. Don't expect any result and you won't be disappointed. I treat the symptoms instead. Drink lots of water, use saline nasal rinses, etc.

Pick a new gogo girl? It's a crap shoot whether she is into a significant dicking or not. I even subtly found out recently that my target girl Jun (93) says she prefers big dick. LOL That was a good sign, and the fuck went very well with DFK available. Rather flat chested slim girl chosen for things other than tit size.

[Syzygies]

Yes ratings don't mean much. Coconut milk in Tom Yung is certainly not uncommon. Also it is not Tom Yung soup. You don't need to use the word soup, that is a redundancy.

Correct. Soup was only added as explanation, if being technical. Tom means boiled and Yam means a salad or mixture of items like prawns, lemon grass, mushrooms, spring onions, shallots etc. Tom Yam is known to be a soup dish by most people.

Yam (some would write Yum) is correct, rhymes with English word Rum, so cannot be spelled with an NG on the end.

Proper Tom Yam has two styles, clear soup, and milky soup. The second variety is achieved by adding milk, but not coconut milk. I never experienced Tom Yam containing coconut milk in Thailand. It would be incorrect. Sometime the seafood clear soup variety is called Po Taek, meaning the fisherman's trap broke open releasing a variety of seafoods.

Check any good websites for ingredients of Tom Yam. You will not find coconut milk. I assumed that people noticed Tom Yam never tastes of coconut at all.

As BionicMan points out Tom Kha Gai is a different type of soup (Chicken Galangal soup). It does have coconut milk in it.
