Bangkok Reports

[AlLostInSpace13]

I stayed there in June. Standard room w / wifi was US$60 / night. Price of room is actually for double occupancy, so you're expected to have a guest! They have a small pool on the top floor. If your stomach can handle it, there are street food stalls right outside of the hotel at night. Perfect for fuelling the body before hitting the bars. For fruits, I would recommend going to the stall outside of Nana plaza. Better prices.

I normally stay at the Dynasty Grande, but Soi 6 had construction and it wasn't passable. They're actually sister hotels. The pool at Dynasty Grande is bigger, but Dawin is a bit newer, so same-same.

Spaceman.

In my opinion not dangerous at all, the sex or the hotel.

Well I normally stay at the woraburi inn down at the bottom on that soi. I like it cause it's normally quiet & only a 5 minute walk from nana plaza.

I'm looking for a hotel nearby that has free wifi in the rooms or reasonably priced wifi. Ideas anyone?[/QUOTE]

Thanks!

Well yes, you did ask in the wrong thread. But if you want good clean 4 star near Nana try Landmark Hotel, being staying there for 10 years, and I rarely had safe sex in their rooms. QUOTE=Duniawala; 1178742]How dangerous was it? .

The answer to both questions is yes. Last week I bought both ypes of cards in he airport at a desk located quite near the exit. The 3G sim worked perfectly, and you can top it up by going on line.

Thanks for that. Can you remember the cost? Also the sim card for the netbook, how much data can you get on prepay, is it cheap to to up?

As for my iPhone I'm just wanting access to Facebook & emails when I'm on the go.

I never Actually thought about buying the at the airport, I imagine it will be a little more expensive but without all the hassle of finding a mobile shop in Bangkok.

I've left this really late. 2 questions if anyone would be so kind to help me.

I'll be in Thailand for 2 weeks, I'm taking my iphone & netbook with a 3G simslot. Can anyone advise its possible to buy a prepay iphone simcard and also what kind of sim card for my mobile broadband on my netbook? Its important as if I can't get the mobile broadband sim card on prepay ill just take my wifi only ipad.

Thanks in advance

. Landmark Hotel, being staying there for 10 years, and I rarely had safe sex in their rooms.

Will be in Bangkok again next month and I will update the forum on whether Foodland has reopened unless some kind brother can provide an update earlier.

The Suk Foodland was not open at the beginning of July and it did not look close to being in condition to open. It kind of sucked because I would always stop in there for provisions and sometimes grab a bit to eat at the food counter.

If you've been reading the forum over the years, I'm sure you've got all the info you need. I've been to Bangkok many many times through out the years. And the first time was by myself reading the forum. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for easily. Or better yet, it will find you. Have a great time!

I'm sure you're right. In my travels I generally find that with good info (here) and an open mind, fair bit of street smarts, plus some general kindness and respect for people, then fate usually helps you find what you're looking for (or at least gives you an interesting adventure!). Thanks for the encouragement!

I was in Bangkok a week ago (first time) , and after RTFF, I decided to try out Annie's.

There are probably better ones but I did not have much spare time due to work to explore other options.

I took a cab and told the driver Mariott suckahmvit soi 2 as I was told never tell Taxi drivers that you're going to Nana or any soapy massage place as they will just drive you around Bangkok and take you to the ones they know so they earn a percentage.

Arrived at Mariott, out their door, turn left, walk down the street and Annie's should be on your left.

Upstairs, mamasan, two options, fishbowl girls at THB 2500, shower ladies at THB 1700.

Shower ladies are older, eventhough there were about 15 girls in the fishbowl, I didn't really like any of them.

Oh by the way, it was Friday night at around 11pm.

Wanted to leave but stayed in the end and went with a recommendation from the mamasan.

Paid. Went into the room, started off in the tub.

Now the next part really bothered me, she washed me in the tub, but then did not completely drain the tub water, only half of it.

So I'm half soaked in my own (and her) dirty tub water while she starts to rub herself all over me with soaps lotions, etc.

I did not enjoy it at all and wanted her to drain all the water but she couldn't understand me haha.

20mins went by and I'm just damn uncomfortable, maybe it's just me, but the bath water really bugged me.

She signaled to me that she was done and wanted me to move to the bed.

(I thought they were suppose to do a BBBJ in the tub? But who cares, I was just happy to get out of the tub haha.)

Onto the bed, general body massage, CBJ, cowgirl, mish, finish.

Girl. Face: 6. 5 Body: 7 Breast: 32B Technique: 6 Dirty Bath Water:.6.

Damage: THB 2500 + Taxi THB 100 + Drink for the girl THB 100 = THB 2700.

Overall: I had high expectations for Thai Soapies but was disappointed overall.

But price wise it's a very good deal. Guess I'm just too used to Japan Soaplands. Need to explore other options if I go again.

Annies isn't the cleaniest or the newest place. There are lots of nicer places. I do agree with the others, the girls do keep themselves very clean. But also remember, you're in Thailand. So it's not going to be as clean as Japan.

Ok, I know I don't have many posts, but I've been a follower of this forum for years and a (paid) member for a couple (felt I should chip in.). Thus I defer to the more experienced mongers here for help. Here's my question:

I'll be in LOS and elsewhere SEA first time starting August for the next three months."Business" will keep time limited for play, but if you were in Bangkok with time for perhaps a couple experiences, what / where would you absolutely choose as your first or send your mate if they really wanted to know what's up? Personally, I like the 20-ish, thin,"uni"-types. Yet have read performance with this genre can be hit or miss. Money isn't giant issue but good service for reasonable value certainly is. I've read and read here, but info overload is setting in, so I thought I'd ask personally for a bit of input. Many thanks in advance and I'll be sure to report when I can.

If you've been reading the forum over the years, I'm sure you've got all the info you need. I've been to Bangkok many many times through out the years. And the first time was by myself reading the forum. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for easily. Or better yet, it will find you. Have a great time!

This is Bangkok. You may also have seen a cockroach scurry by in your massage room?

But in contrast to the general level of dirt and grime in the city, BKK girls are usually ridiculously clean. So what is it in the water that actually bothers you? A bit of sweat that you have been wearing all day?

My advice is to embrace your inner filthiness and enjoy yourself.

I have always purchased my Kamagra from the pharmacy in Foodland of Sukhumvit Soi 5 but this place has been closed to the past couple of months for renovation and I am not sure whether it has reopened yet. It used to be THB400 for a pack of 4 but around April / May 2011 when I made my last purchase there, they charged me only THB280 for pack of 4 and they worked just as well when I tried them. I always purchase them from this pharmacy instead of the smaller pharmacy along Sukhumvit Road because they are less likely to sell fakes. Will be in Bangkok again next month and I will update the forum on whether Foodland has reopened unless some kind brother can provide an update earlier.

I always use the two pharmacies on Sukh between Soi 2 and Soi 4. I have never had any problems with the quality of drugs sold there.

On the other hand, if you buy from the stalls on the Sukh they are clearly labelled as fakes insofar as they are often in Pfizer Viagra boxes. Pfizer Viagra costs around £20 / pill in the UK (private prescription) , so they are guaranteed to be fake boxes. And if the boxes are fake then I wouldn't put much store on the medicines inside them.

Most (but not all) pharmacies aren't in the business of selling fakes because they want repeat customers. Last week I bought some Kamagra gel from a small pharmacy near Prantip Plaza and they had no effect, plus they had a different taste and constituency to others I have bought from Soi 4. I guess the pharmacist knew I wouldn't be coming back anyway. But also sometimes the pharmacist doesn't know they are fake. He just buys stuff wholesale from a middleman, and has no quality control when buying unregulated generics.

An earlier post suggests that gels are messy and too strong. I have to disagree. I find them very convenient particularly when waking up in the morning after a heavy night and preparing for a good morning session. But then I am old.
