Bangkok Reports

[EihTooms]

Tonight I took a cruise through Soi Cowboy, stopped in Thermae and ended the evening in Nana Plaza. This was mostly a visual overview for me just to get a vibe of the bars after 3 1/2 months of closure.

I was a bit too early for Soi Cowboy I suppose, around 8:30PM. I thought the go-go bars would open early since they must close at Midnight. But I don't think any go-go bar except Crazy House was open for dancing by then. A few girls were sitting outside some of the bars, but they demonstrated no particular interest in attracting a customer (me) that I could tell except one ok looking 30 something year old sitting outside Country Road just as I was leaving the soi. She reached out to grab my hand, but I wasn't really interested.

Around 9PM, I stopped in Thermae. Had to get my temperature taken outside the door and make sure my mask was fully covering my nose and mouth when I entered. That's it. Once inside, I suppose I could have pulled my mask down, which I did, or removed it altogether. There was one other Farang customer at the bar with his mask fully removed and chatting with a girl who also had no mask on at the time. There were about 60 girls and a sprinkling of customer in there at that time, mostly Asian customers and mostly senior citizens like me. Almost all of the girls were wearing those clear plastic face masks that look a little like welder's masks. LOL. But you can see their whole face behind it. As is usual for Thermae, the more obvious lookers had zero interest in me, responding to my Hello (in Thai), returning my smile or in the 2-3 other Farangs in the place. I finished one drink and moved on to Nana Plaza.

There were only 4-5 bars open in Nana Plaza. I had to get my temperature taken at the main entrance to the Plaza and do the smartphone scan of their QR code. It didn't work for me, but security let me in anyway. I just wrote and then deleted a bit here about what I did and didn't have to do in Nana Plaza and its go-go bars tonight that was different from before the shutdown. I have decided to just say it was not very different from before.

I only went into two Nana Plaza go-go bars: Twister BKK on the ground level and Rainbow 5, formerly Twister (second level). I had one drink in each bar, spent about 40 minutes each and moved on.

My impression of the general vibe tonight was no different for me than if it had been normal times except for the servers wearing face masks and only 4-5 bars being open. And, of course, the very few customers around. The stages were filled with girls, looking and behaving no different than if it were the height of High Season. All the lookers were as aloof and seemingly disinterested in getting a Lady Drink or being barfined (by me) than if they were 3 months ahead on their rent and their smartphone top ups instead of 3 months behind. The marginally fuckable ones were the only ones smiling at me, returning my smile or seemed to be interested in coming over during their dance break. Actually, the only girl I saw in either bar going over to a customer was a looker in Twister BKK plopping herself down next to one very decrepit old Farang dude sitting alone in the booth. And he didn't seem to be all that interested in her either. LOL. I got the impression they knew each other from before.

Nobody seemed needy, hungry, thirsty or eager to meet a customer, get a Lady Drink or be barfined by anyone in the couple of hours I was in those two Nana Plaza bars and checking around the place, including the servers. I mention that in case some of you guys not here are imagining the hottest girls must be crawling all over us, begging to be taken, offering Real Sex without discussion, accepting deep discounts on their usual fees and so on. LOL. I saw no evidence of and experienced no crawling, begging or offering of anything. I was able to sit with a big smile and nodding to girls in those bars for a chunk of the time they would be open tonight and managed not to be approached or lobbied by body language by any of the girls I would remotely have wanted to barfine. And there were many barfineable girls there tonight. Lookswise only, I mean.

Then again, I wasn't really intent upon taking a girl no matter what tonight. I might be more on the hunt right after these two upcoming bar closure days have passed this weekend and more bars reopen.

I hope to see Sukhumvit Road like this again in a near future.

Some will say yes she can say no to sex without a condom. Others will argue in reality she does not have that option because of her circumstances. She needs the money.

Did the coal miner going down the pit really have a choice and exercising free will.

Saying BBFS is something that women want because they don't say no is simply disingenuous.

Always exceptions but how many girls do you think if given the option of sex with a condom or without would willingly opt for the former.

In my experience very few.

They don't say no because they want the sensation of an uncovered dick inside them they agree because they are either foolishly unaware of the health risks or else just accept these risks as a necessary part of the job.

100% correct and we'll put.

When I ran out of condoms, and the girls didn't have their own, they still tried, to my objection, to go on with FS. This is not because they want it but because they need the money and they feel this is what the customer wants and if they don't do it they will lose the money. Of course there are exceptions where some girls don't care or even prefer it, as it is with the guys.

But since we're on this topic, this argument also applies to prostitution in general. Most of these girls wouldn't be available if they had other viable options.

Nana plaza opening night last night about 9 pm.

[Danny Duck]

So a very legit Rainbow 2 girl posted a photo of her earnings last night. Legit meaning she pulls 3,000 baht customers easy as Pie.

4 $1000 baht bills and a whole lot of 100's.

At least 2 barfines me thinks.

Is it sustainable?

Any reports.

I'm not seeing be able to go till 2021 at the earliest.

I have lived on Soi 8 during the winter months for the past several years and pass by Lolita's frequently on my way through Soi 6 to NaNa. I have to say that I have not been tempted for a number of years to indulge with any of the girls in this place. Most are, as you say, about a 5 in looks. Hefty farm girls for the most part. Several years ago, there were a few cute ones though I recall only requesting their services twice in all this time. There was real petite doll there with blond dyed hair who was rescued by a Farang and that was maybe four years ago. Rest easy as I seriously doubt if you missed any cute ones hanging out inside.

Kasalong Bar and L0litas were open today when I passed by around 3pm. I saw 4-5 girls in uniform hanging around outside each. Some new faces, mostly chubby girls I would not rate above a 5 in looks generally. But I only passed by once so maybe better looking girls were busy inside with customers at the time.

I have been with a regular, non P4P GF all day and evening today so I did not cruise the area to see what other shops were open.

The different Monger donor countries all have their own exit and return restrictions so I'm also very interested to see if the bars see an in rush of guys who have been waiting for the ability to enter or if the economic down turn. Means that the ramp up is much slower.

Just read a report from Amsterdam. Sex shops are open in red light district but no kissing allowed and no heavy breathing. Who and how they can enforce this rule?

I do not know which position satisfies this rule. I guess only part which will be touching each other are penis and vagina.

Better to forego sex with strangers for a while!

IMHO the bar openings matter and are of real interest in particular to see how many girls they will have on hand, the social distancing effect if any they employ, and the amount of trade they get from ex pats and others who are in BKK now.

That does not matter a lot when you still can't fly there.

The ISG Thailand has a few regular contributors who live in BKK. I am looking forward to reading their reports on the state of back in business Go Go's.

I have speculated before on these pages that I do not think Thailand or any SE Asian country will truly open up to international travel until an effective vaccine is made available. That could take a 1 year to 18 months to happen if it happens at all. In the meantime I find it very interesting and relevant to my interests to watch how or if these various P4P venues survive. I consider the Go Go bar openings a milestone event. I wish them all the best because personally, I don't think BKK will be half as much fun if the Go Go's don't survive.

July 1 is the big day. The start of a new beginning. Here is a link to Stickboy's column giving the reopening dates of Nana Bars & Go Go's

Better than nothing.

The you tubers can do their thing.

Without going into the philosophical Determinism versus Libertarianism discussion of whether free will actually exists for me the question is whether free choice exists.

Some will say yes she can say no to sex without a condom. Others will argue in reality she does not have that option because of her circumstances. She needs the money.

Did the coal miner going down the pit really have a choice and exercising free will.
