Bangkok Reports

[ChrisCross123]

Which are your favourite short time hotels in Bangkok next to nana as well as anywhere else. I only know two which are located in a side street of suk 4 like maybe 300 m from nana plaza. The first girl I took brought me there and I just stuck with it. Both are okay but lack mirrors for example. Also not places where you can bring less professional acquaintances.

As the OP noted below; it's simple, just ask. A LB will not lie as it could lead to trouble in the room.

I walked by a ladyboy bar and the mama talked me into shooting pool with one of her "girls".

Stayed for a game until a regular couple came in wanting to shoot pool so I gave up the table and sat outside the bar with another "girl". I could not tell she was LB, no make up, no voice, hands, throat give away. We chatted for 1/2 hour then I just asked" are you girl". She said no dear I'm ladyboy. So simple, just ask.

[KumuMan]

I don't think any of these are LBs.

Anyway it's not that hard to distinguish LBs. If not by their looks, there is still there voice, even for post ops.

In any case, if you still have a doubt, if you're located in a bar just pay her a drink with strong alcohol inside, like Sangsom with Coke (no tequila shots, insist on whisky). Tell them to put a good dose of Sangsom in the glass and make sure they know you're looking when they do it (you can also check the glass when she comes back with it, smell it, even taste it). The alcohol will make her lose her feminin manners and you'll see her manly behaviour coming back quickly.

If it's a street freelancer, if you still have doubts after takling with her, don't take any risk and skip her.

But the fear of bringing back an LB in Thailand is too hyped in my opinion, you don't need to stress about that.

Maybe I'm odd, but I think the pre-trip research is fun.

On a cold boring night in Falangland, hot toddy close at hand, I read all the new reports in all of the Bangkok and Pattaya forums. I use my Google Fu to supplement what I read. The online maps help me locate places I've never been to before. The hotels and restaurants often have online photos or reviews. Clubs and bars have Facebook pages. And yes, I watch the videos. On another screen I have a Microsoft Word document open, so I can take notes or save links to particularly helpful reports.

I concede my systemic study might be a bit much for some guys. And I'm well aware that many of us are English Language Learners for whom the reading can be a heavy lift. But for me the research is a pleasant way to experience my holiday months in advance. When I run across a query from somebody who's done his due diligence, I'm happy to post something, and in doing so I can re-live past trips. Finally, when I touch down at BKK I don't need a complicated plan. My advance research allows me to go with the flow and take what comes, secure in the knowledge that I'm as familiar as I can be with the current state of play.

That's the way I roll. Everything I need to know is on the net or here. Newbies take note.

It always amazes me when someone complains that it's so time consuming to put in the effort to search, to read, when I'm sure they have the time to punt. All too easy to take one minute to post a question rather than make the effort yourself.

Just back from a short 1 week stay in BKK. Had a wonderful time. Visited Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy and a few massage shops and enjoyed the short trip. In the mornings I did a few touristy things like visiting malls. The rains in the evenings in BKK are a bit of a downer at present. They can ruin your plans for the night.

I have taken a liking to one of the gogo bar dancers in Nana Plaza. I had bar fined her on my last visit once and again this time and also bought her a few lady drinks. Sometimes she is not available to come & sit down next to me as she has other patrons buying her drinks and I would be sitting alone along enjoying the views of the other dancers on the stage. But even though she was busy entertaining the other customers, she would be caught sneaking glances at me very often. Like constantly observing me in the bar and my moves. Anyone knows why? Surely she does not have a crush on me as I'm only a customer and not a Thai cassanova.

She had not come to work on one day & I bar fined another lady and she knows about it. They all seem to gossip among one another about to bar fined whom?, who bought who lady drinks, who came into the bar on what day etc etc.

She looks at you and dreams of her new house you will build her in her village.

Easy, she wants to keep you as her repeat customer by giving you the feeling that she would want to be sitting next to you if she hadn't already been called by that customer.

There's a bunch of bars named rainbow stuff, even one on Cowboy I think. Rainbow 4 though is still the main Rainbow, and as in the past, seems to cater to asian-tourist clientele. Its now not topless though, only a few spots in Nana are topless anymore.

If I remember correctly the bars with 🌈 in the name were the ones where I was the least sure whether the staff is just heavily covered with make up plus some surgery or post op ladybugs.

[Paolo99]

Some of the girls I liked. 0. 54 minutes, 3. 28 in black dress, 3. 37 (2 girls / both sweets), 5. 28 and 5. 55 in black pants. Can some kind soul confirm if all are 100 % girls and none LB's. I am asking just so I can trust my eyes when I am in Bangkok in a few days time.

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but did the Rainbow bars in Nana Plaza survive COVID?

Yup was there a few weeks ago and saw some on 2nd floor iirc.

Last time I talk about people making youtube videos of Bangkok babes, I swear!

I remember last year when I did my reconnaissance of Thaniya, scoping out the chicks, knowing it's for Japanese big spenders with a whole lot of drinking, I didn't participate, but I wanted to take one photo, just one, so I went to what I considered to be a respectful distance from the all the girls and even the street itself, walking towards the BTS already, closer to the BTS than Thaniya itself and I mean pretty damn far, and from all the way there one of the mamasan's was screaming at me to not take a picture. I'm tellin' ya fellas. I was pretty freakin' far away. So this dude, he's all up close and personal with everyone at Thaniya, there's no earthly way the camera is exposed. He's hidden it like a pro. I'll find out the secret man, I will make this happen as well. I'm going to make this happen for myself. I mean dudes, going down this rabbit hole, I've seen youtube channels launched not 6 months ago, with nothing but videos of people walking around Bangkok streets, and they maybe average 1 k views, but as soon as there's 'nana', 'soi cowboy' or anything like that in the video title, the view count goes up to the tens of thousands. Some of these channels get well over 10k subscribers in less than a year. No fancy music, no titles, no effects, nothing. Just some basic editing. They're monetized at that point. Sure, in the beginning it's not anymore than a few hundred dollars a month, but by God, what a beginning. Keep uploading videos and the channel will only grow.

This is viable fellas, and one day, I'm going to be one of these douchebag digital nomad types too. One day you'll see your faces in one of my videos, but you'll never suspect it cause my camera's going to be hidden. Also you'd never guess it could be me, cause I'll just be another one of those fat, ugly old foreigner fucks you see all over Thailand. Cause normally, the douchebag types that upload these sort of videos, tend to be the millenial or gen z types. More money than sense. Everything comes easy to them. Sure, we're leaving the world in chaos as they take over, but at least they'll have fun as the world burns.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQwKaxv5OIM

Pertaining to the same video, if you look at around 3:15, you'll see an old guy with a hat. Now imagine if that old guy was wearing a fanny pack, around the stomach area or even across the chest as a sling bag, you'd never guess in a million years that in the bag there was a 4k state of the art gopro recording everyone. From that distance, with just a small hole for the lens to shoot out of. No one would ever suspect it. That's me, that's my future. What a bright and Bangkok future it would be. He looks like he'd keel over from a stiff breeze, but I betcha, he'll die from fuckin' a babe while in Thailand somewhere, and you know what? He'll die happy. In this cold, cruel, inherently unfair and shitty world, it's the very least we can hope for.

Did you notice the girl following him from behind, don't think she's with him, but anyway, for a quick second she glances at the man capturing this footage. Look at her eye line, she's looking at the guy himself, not at the camera, where her eye is looking at is right above the camera. It's not that she's weirded out by a camera, she's weirded out by the fact that some guy is just standing there looking at her. As you see more and more of his videos, you'll notice almost no one looks directly at the camera. Any footage on youtube where the camera is visible to the people being filmed, someone will look right into the lens, making eye contact with the camera as it were, cause people in general don't like to be filmed anyway. What happens is people will notice the camera right away, look right into the lens, then turn away. Look at how he's doing it. This man is operating on a whole different level. Look at around 7:00, how is he getting this close to the chick, and she's got no clue? There's always a chance he's shooting at 8 K, and bringing it down to 4 K in edit, but I think it's more likely he's found some ingenious way to be able to even zoom in on the fly, while the camera is hidden. Truly amazing.

But out of respect though, you fellas won't have to worry, I would never capture footage inside a place like Thermae or the soapies or oilies, I've got too much regard and respect for our hobby to sully the girls or patrons like that. But in public spaces like the streets? It's all fair game there.

You are way overestimating the earnings of these youtube channels. Family friendly content rakes in the money, sexualized content does not. Even if this is just "walking around the streets" content, it gets lumped into categories that get way less $ per million views.

Also if you get enough flags, your entire account can be demonitized and taken down. Months of hard work, building a fan base, subscribers, etc. Down the drain. Sure you can create a new channel, but what happens when you run out of checking accounts for deposit and youtube flags your main accounts from receiving adsense revenue?

Are some of these creators making money? Of course. Are some of these creators making a comfortable living doing this? Probably not. Some of these videos have thousands of views, some have less than a hundred. It's a numbers game and it's grueling.

The Future is not Thailand. Hahaha.

Well for me, I'm back to Siem Reap after the first of the year, Thailand is way too much of a pain to live there for me, ID rather visit every few weeks.
