Bangkok Reports

[Member #4753]

There's no longer an ample supply of working girls in Thailand. Demographics have shifted massively and permanently. Fertility rate has been under 2 children per woman since 1992 (affecting the number of women under 30 now in 2022), compared to the 5+ in the early 1970's (women under 30 back in 2000's). Incomes have also risen significantly, to the point where a typical salary, even on the low end, is sufficient to live on without freelancing part-time.

The difference is stark, but the industry started off huge, there was plenty of inertia, and many punters were refusing to see the changes. For almost a decade, we've seen attrition with very few new faces, but many of the older providers hanging on. This was apparent everywhere, but most obvious in oilies like Tulip.

This situation was dire well before Covid, and the pandemic won't make it better. I just don't see where the large supply of girls would come from. Perhaps the economic crisis brewing in Laos (nearing a breakdown) would send a few working girls over the border, but that won't last long and is unlikely to have large effects down in Bangkok.

Meanwhile, there's no shortage of punters, so with the full reopening, it's only natural to expect prices to go up, and quality way down. At one point, I guess they'll stop coming.

Plenty of places were mongering meccas for a while, but withered due to various factors, usually demographics and increasing wealth of the locals, coupled with some significant event. I hear 1988 Olympic Games killed mongering for foreigners in Seoul and SARS in 2003 killed foreigner bars in Hong Kong. Thailand is here now, unfavorable background trends plus a major event. Now, mongering will never disappear (it still exists in both Seoul in HK), but it might change to be smaller and mostly for locals, no longer worthwhile for most visitors, especially long-distance ones.

This is such a great post. I would add that technology and new wealth in Asia is also changing the scene.

Even 20 years ago white farangs were basically the only game in town. Now there are Korea, Japanese, Chinese and even Indians flexing their economic muscle. I know of lots of girls that will only see asian guys, preferably Korean, Japanese or Chinese.

Adding to this the internet has opened up a whole other world. They join "how to date a farang" facebook groups, have been given the tour of the local village by mum pointing out all the houses that have been built by farang money in 1 way or another. When they hit 18 they are already well versed in all the little deceitful tricks that we all find so annoying.

In my view, Thailand is overrated, and after experiencing Colombia, it is definitely a much better option for me, not to mention it is much closer to the US.

Ironically, the only memorable time that I had in Bangkok was when I was with an Uzbek girl and her friend pre-covid. I had never had much fun with the Thai girls there.

I've always loved Asian women. The big but thing never really attracted me much. And if there skin (I. E. Inside there thighs) isn't nice and smooth, ek.

Seeing a lovely little thing up on stage in Nana Plaza, where the strings on her bikini bottom pulled tight, that gap between her hip bones and stomach, where the string's not against her. And it's not a rarity there.

And I'm old enough that, when I first started visiting Thailand, Escobar was still bombing the shit out of everything. FARC (FARK?) and whoever else was kidnapping whoever. I know it's much more sorted now, but is still nowhere near the safety of Thailand.

If it was just cheap prices, there's Venezuela and Bangladesh.

The street action in China Town just off Yaowarat Road is famous. The quality is very low as is the price.

Yes, 600 was the going rate (before covid) A bit dirty and seedy, but, then again, so am I. There always seems to be at least one "prego" SW there when I roam around.

I have been coming to Thailand about once a year since 2003. I have also been mongering in Colombia since 2013, taking about 3 trips per year.

I personally prefer Thailand over Colombia. The sessions are less transactional, very few people speak English in Colombia, and one has to always be on alert for safety reasons. Plus no comparison about the food. Thai cuisine is far superior. I speak decent Spanish.

However, I just came back from a trip to Thailand. The trip was brutal, 17 hours from SFO to Singapore, plus another 2 hours to get to Bangkok.

He could take the train from the airport, which will only take an hour: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Suva...13.7369881!3e3.

So, if he accounts for say 2. 5 hours of travel time, and 1. 5 hours for security, he would still have 2 hours. homewer, that assumes that he properly calculated the layover time (meaning that 23:00 is when boarding starts.) If the plane leaves at 23:00, then boarding time could be 30 minutes to an hour before that.

He said that he is looking for something to help make his next flight more relaxing. Leaving the airport to travel 2. 5 hours by train to get laid, I would say, would be the "riskiest" sex one could have. I could not even enjoy the sex being so worried that I was about to miss my connecting flight. It is a good question though. Is there not a known massage parlour near the airport, that can be reached by a 10 minute taxi ride?

[Vankee2010]

Hello senior,

Need feedback and suggestion.

Booking Magistic hotel is good?

Planning to visit Doki Doki and feedback on that.

Which place is best to find a good partner for drink dinner and quality time. Please help as time is less.

Weekend is coming.

Thanks in advance.

... Is the Philippines any better? Thailand was great, not slum like, which is what I fear about the PI. Manila is apparently a shit hole, and there is really no credible reason to go there except as a sex tourist. I don't know much about other places in PI, but I like good quality, clean, uncrowded surf beaches and don't want to get robbed or see too much abject poverty and blight. What about Indonesia? ....

PI has many great beach areas. Start researching the Visayas (Cebu) and Palawan as a start and go from there. Previously you would have to byo girl from Manila or Cebu City but online has changed all that and it's pretty rare not to be able to find someone locally with a little time on the usual websites.

Indonesia has a lot to offer but English drops off dramatically as you move away from Jakarta or Bali. It's one area where I would recommend finding Ms Right in Jakarta and offer her a few days holiday. 99% of girls with no job commitments will say yes and happily be your tour guide ++.

Broadly speaking: BKK, MNL and Jakarta have similar costs but provincial PI and Indo are much cheaper; PI is the easiest for an English only speaker even away from the cities; LOS and Indo win for food being a lot better than PI; PI then Indo then LOS for GFE; PI then daylight for BBFS options; looks are YMMV as PI and Indo are archipelagos and body types vary widely between different areas. Both MNL and Jakarta are chaotic with insane traffic but they have the widest selection of establishments and girls (many of whom are happy to accompany you for a few days) vs their provinces.

Enjoy. G.

I will have about 4 days in BKK upon my return and was thinking of hitting up Pattaya as I have never been there before. Is there anything to do during the day like rent jet skis or interesting sites to visit I do like to mixy trips with things other than mongering.

The Pattaya jet ski scam is so infamous hotels actually place warning cards in their rooms to alert guests:

Can you send me the word in Thai and I can help you.

Thanks for the offer. Here is the word in Thai.

[EihTooms]

Hmm well at the moment I'm not having any problem finding available ladies at good prices.

I realize it can be different for an expat residing in Bangkok like me compared to someone here for only two weeks. But, same as you, I am having no problem finding available girls at good prices right now. I would go even further to say I am getting some of the youngest and cutest girls I have had in a while. And I certainly haven't gotten any younger over the years. LOL.

Now, I apparently missed the Golden Age of Thai Mongering that reportedly occurred 10-20 years ago because I was not mongering here during that time. But these past 10 years here, including during the closures and now during the struggling recovery, were damn well better for me than when I was vacationing in Thailand a few times per year in the early / mid 1990's.

One thing I have noticed about the admittedly changed demographics where Thais began to have fewer kids over the decades is it is a lot harder for 2 adult children to support mom, dad, grandma, spinster aunt and drunk uncle than for 5 adult children to do it. Not even if they are better educated and get a better job with higher wages today.

Therefore, you might not find as many desirable girls choosing a 7 night a week career as a gogo dancer but the number of mall workers, shop girls, office workers and university students interested and available for a bit of extra family support income for a discrete BBFS+CIP or BBBJ+CIM every few days seems to be growing. Hence, the online option.

Because of covid many previously Thailand mongerers went to Colombia where working girls are plentiful and cheap, I think they are still there. They may not return to Thailand.

Interesting reading the last few posts, with a tinge of nostalgia. The late 1990's and up to 2016 were great, I loved the BJ bars, something so exciting knowing the smiling girls outside would fill their little mouths with cock and expertly have their tonsils massaged and anointed with tadpoles. I will miss the camaraderie of fellow men, smiling and chilled knowing their needs were easily met and of course the age old habit of guys bragging about their conquests. I like the small, delicate Asian feminine hands and sweet faces, especially when I had a wife for 48 hours that took it every hole and every position, yet smiled demurely at a restaurant. So much fun. I developed a taste for finding girls putting on an Oscar worthy teary performance at the airport departure gate as their "boyfriends" left back to USA or Europe, only to pick them and bang them silly. I don't know why, probably the thrill of knowing what oily mouthed liars they were and they knew that I knew, yet pretended like it never happened. And great, real, massage. Always with a happy end!

Where to from here? Is it really as bad in BKK as made out here? Is the Philippines any better? Thailand was great, not slum like, which is what I fear about the PI. Manila is apparently a shit hole, and there is really no credible reason to go there except as a sex tourist. I don't know much about other places in PI, but I like good quality, clean, uncrowded surf beaches and don't want to get robbed or see too much abject poverty and blight. What about Indonesia? I've mongered the world, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Mexico, China, Thailand, Europe, Brazil and looking for any "green shoots".

Very excited to return to BKK in September.

I was last there in January 2022, just before the world turned into shit.

I have two days in BKK before heading else where for some non mongering fun but will return to Thailand after ba week. Will I need to pay for a visa twice or is there a multi entry visa that would make sense for me.

For my first two days was going to stay near Sukhumvit 2 or 4 Looking at the Ibis Suk 4 or Icon on Soi 2. Would be open to any suggestions in this area. I care about decent clean room bathroom etc and not about hotel amenities. Was thinking about splurging on the Hilton but would rather save that money for naughty fun.

I will hit up Doki Doki again as that was great maybe Tulip and was going to rely on Smooci as I found the go go and bars were fun but mostly miss them hit with the ladies. Any recommendations from Smooci would be greatly appreciated.

I will have about 4 days in BKK upon my return and was thinking of hitting up Pattaya as I have never been there before. Is there anything to do during the day like rent jet skis or interesting sites to visit I do like to mixy trips with things other than mongering.

Much appreciated and looking forward to providing some valuable reports to share.

I hear 1988 Olympic Games killed mongering for foreigners in Seoul and SARS in 2003 killed foreigner bars in Hong Kong. Thailand is here now, unfavorable background trends plus a major event. Now, mongering will never disappear (it still exists in both Seoul in HK), but it might change to be smaller and mostly for locals, no longer worthwhile for most visitors, especially long-distance ones.

Such a perfectly accurate analysis of what's going on currently. For those of us who have been mongering for over 20 years, the changes are drastic. And yes, they are permanent, and with the exception of a few the Thais would prefer that the outward foreigner sex scene just disappear. And the sex scene for the local punter is already way more discreet than it used to be. 20 years ago when it was very acceptable for a group of men to leave the office, go to a soapy, have a meal, have girls, and then head home. This has not been socially acceptable for quite some time and was one of the things that participated the slow decline of the soapies. Local men are now using online as it is much more discreet. While foreigners are somewhat welcome, it will never be the domain of the tourist or short-term visitor, because it requires a lot of time and effort, and you really do need to have at least some skills in Thai language.

As Croc stated, the 1988 Olympics killed the foreign sex scene in Seoul, in fact all the foreign sex bars were shuttered December 31st 1987 as I understand it. SARS was also used to shut much of the foreign sex scene in Hong Kong. Online and the walk-ups still are going to this day. Covered is perhaps the nail in the coffin for the outward for and sex scene in Thailand. Yes, it will always somewhat exist, but the numbers and quality are not going to be there. And in my humble opinion, it will be dominated by Asian, not Western men. So glad I got to experience the end of the golden era. It was an amazing amount of fun. That being said I'm still having a marvelous time with online.
