Bangkok Reports

That is the ladyboy area. Some girls tucked away on Soi 15 but otherwise I would guess 90% of those are ladyboys. Ladyboys won't allow girls to stand in front of Thermae. Maybe someone in Bangkok now can correct me if things have changed.

I have seen many real females in front of Thermae during normal times and maybe moreso lately. I have taken some from there as well. Same with that stretch in front of Sofitel and the Hyiatt hotels, although it is true that stretch usually has a higher percentage of ladyboys.

I don't know about one group ostracizing another in that area. The only time I ever noticed some possible evidence of anyone ostracizing anyone else was 2-3 times when clearly above average looking Thermae type girls out there discretely agreed upfront to BBFS+CIP with me at a reasonable rate for such girls of 2,000 baht for a leisurely, no hurry Short Time or 3,000 baht for a Long Time.

I noticed before and after those particular girls apparently violated some unwritten Thermae cardinal rule about BBFS+CIP and doing it with a farang for any reasonable price, they never mingled or sat with the other more Thermae Law-abiding girls.

LOL. But who knows what was really going on or in fact who was ostracizing whom in that case, if at all. It was just an interesting observation.

Walked around Sukhumvit last night near Sofitel and Hyatt. I saw a ton of freelancers and some looked pretty cute. It's hard to tell in the dark, some wearing masks and not getting a long enough look. Tonight I'll ask about the details on price. I got to be careful, the lady boys are all mixed with the regulars. Anyone else have an experience in this area?

I've never felt unsafe in PP. There are always people in the RLD no matter what time it is. Sure the walk through empty pitch black streets to Cyrcee may be a bit sketch but just take a motorbike for 1 USD instead. Which area(s) are not for the faint hearted? Maybe I haven't been there.

Won't argue about the police though. Get caught for speeding with a taxi driver who drives 140 kmh between Sihanoukville and PP? Pay them 10-20 USD and you're on your way.

I've never felt unsafe either. You are experienced so you can do it too. But newbies beware, especially around what "Ho" in "PP".

I liked Siem because there was stuff to see and do. But I've been around the block too so the only problem I ever had in Siem was with loser drunken barangs.

On iPhone, look in the HOME section, then SERVICES group. You might need to click MORE before you see PEOPLE NEARBY.

On iPad, go to HOME. In the SEARCH bar type in PEOPLE NEARBY and it will come up. I don't know any other way to find it on the iPad.

I've never tried to use people nearby on an Android device. Line is a bit different on different devices, for example, I've never figured out how to send my location using my laptop.

I'm using Line as well with some thai friends, but I never find " People Nearby" function. Where is in the Line's menu?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The people nearby function does not work in the app when using a Thai phone number to register. If you registered your Line account using a non Thai phone number it still works in Thailand but you won't see any users with Thai numbers.

True, but Line also has a "People Nearby" feature that is sometimes used for hookups right here and right now. Similar to WeChat, but Line cannot be set to see only female users in your area.

I was on Khaosan Road last night from about 7:30 pm until 9 pm. There were the usual tourist families, farang backpackers, couples and Thai locals that usually hit the area during normal times with a greater percentage being Thai locals these days.

Most restaurants and bars are open, some with live entertainment, loud music everywhere. Plenty of places to buy t-shirts, souvenirs, silver. More sedate and less noisy dining and drinking is found on the loop around area of Rambuttri Road and over at the Rambuttri Village section.

I saw no evidence of P4P freelancers or bargirls, Thai or otherwise.

In other words, Khaosan Road is lively if you are interested in shopping, dining, drinking, music (loud), a foot massage and possibly dancing. A pleasant family-friendly tourist destination but with an emphasis on drinking as the night progresses, same as during normal times.

However, there are two clubs or bars open inside the little Susie Walking Street pathway. For anyone not familiar with that pathway, it is about a 70 metre walkway that provides a shortcut between Khaosan Road and Rambuttri Road. Narrower than an alley, just wide enough for 3 people to walk side by side.

You give the best updates. And more importantly believe-able.

I always ask this question and never get answers. Who and where are the customers to Partake in this reopening of Thailand.

Tree town is Booming if you like sitting on benches with Thai.

To me. We not coming till it's just show passport and departure Covid test.

Line is not a dating app. It's just a chat app (comparable to WhatsApp) that Thai people use a lot.

I haven't figured out LINE yet, but I've had pretty good luck with the usual websites.

You forgot Khaosan road, it is bustling right now with an alley dedicated and named as Walking street there with no cams allowed in the alley.

The question should be Khaosan or Sukhumvit.

The winner is sukhumvit but someone should make a ground visit to Khaosan as all of this is based on youtube reports...

One bar is called Elephant (in Thai lettering only) and as near as I could tell the other bar is called Hubpital or maybe Keep Walking (in English lettering).

Both of these bars were very Thai-centric. Through the doors I did not see one farang in them. I am not a booze drinking and loud music guy anyway so I did not go inside but I could see from the customers entering they were all Thais and mostly couples or groups. Again, I got zero freelancer vibe from anything or anyone walking to and from those two bars on Susie Walking Street.

Maybe things get wilder and the Thai girls I saw will get shitfaced drunk and start moving away from their Thai boyfriends, schoolmates and co-workers to start groping at 2-3 of the older farang dudes like me nearby. I wasn't there late enough to find out. But I highly doubt it based on what I saw up until 9 pm or so.

I will travel to Bangkok, after looong time, at end of January. I was there last time in 2019, in the summer.

I usually stay in Nana, Asok area. I see that Wood bar (BJ bar) still open, 7 Heaven, Kasalong, Cherry massage same.

I was a fan of Eden Cluj, Mitu, but not getting any information, if still open.

I understand that Snow white is close, someone know where is Candy now?

I want ask what for a massage saloon suggestion, or blowjob bar, because I think many things change in almost 2 years.

[ThaiGoodTimes]

Which areas off the main RLD are you referring to?

In PP, 13th street and west of there at night.

The massage places that are a risk are all the same look.

They have an open area at the front, with the eye candy sitting out front.

Generally if you look carefully, you will see they have some temporary partitions or walls at the back of the front open area.

These hide the window at the front of the room from being seen.

And inside they have a curtain across that front wall where they put a coat stand.

With the girl once in the room encouraging you to hang your clothes there off the floor.

After I was stung by it I did a walk around the next night and easily found a half dozen such setups.

Hey all,

Just arrived to BKK. Have today before friends arrive and can't really monger more. Any fishbowls or place with large selection at this time?

[Member #4753]

Yes indeed many girls walk around naked inside. Don't know if it is open now though.

I walk past Crazy House, which is on the corner of soi 23 and soi cowboy, everyday. I believe it has been shut for the last year.

Kazy Kosy which is next door to it, has always had some type of activity happening. The girls try and talk to you as you walk past. Been like this for a year or so. Never stopped and asked what service they provide as didn't see anything of interest.
