Bangkok Reports

Part of the deal is that the girls can actually do OK just on drinks. They get THB 100 / drink. I know a girl who virtually always gets over 25 drinks in a night, and has gotten as many as 80. Now, she's really good at selling drinks (and isn't pushy), but still, being barfined isn't actually necessary to make a decent income.

What you have illustrated is one of the main reasons why the Thai Go Go scene is dying. Prices are ridiculous considering the quality and the girls are so spoiled, many can choose not to barfine. I ask you; is this any way to run a fucking bordello? 555 (KKK).

As to this 25 drink / night Go Go girl you mentioned; I avoid girls like her like the plague. But what you are really saying is that post-covid, a punter needs to ask any potential Go Go girl if she barfines before asking if she would like to have a drink which is fucked up IMHO.

Yeah, there are usually only a few top tier girls in the more popular Go Go's that manage to get barfined every night, sometimes multiple times per night, while the majority of Go Go girls just sit around and are lucky to get barfined once a week. A girl's looks and personality and price combined with overall demand are the main factors that determine a girl's success rate. I am always amazed, however, when I see a somewhat attractive Go Go girl, who has not been barfined for a few nights or longer, stubbornly remain fixed at some ridiculously unrealistic price point. Some girls are just really bad at marketing. 555.

Having known a bunch of bargirls personally, while there are a few girls who get barfined a lot, there are lots (even lots of reasonably attractive girls) who get barfined on the order of once a week, or even once a month. They're not unattractive girls, some are very attractive, just girls that aren't as pushy.

I am planning a 3 day trip but confused between Bangkok / Pattaya vs Signapore. My RTFF summariaes the following.

Bangkok / Pattaya.

Scene is quite relaxed and open. Picking up girls in bar after a chat sounds reseanoble. However bar fine is significant these days. In that price you can have a ST with a girl in Singapore.

Price haggling puts me off. I love fixed pricing and can't negotiate.

I love soapy bars which are not there in Singapore.

Singapore.

Many agencies have telegram groups so I can plan and utilise my time to the max, rather than bar hopping, chatting and then going back to hotel.

Easy to hook up with a beautiful girl at an affordable price. LT in Sing is 300 SGD which is comparable to similar girls charging in Bangkok.

Many nationalities are available easily. PRC, Thai, Viet plus westerners.

Any advice why you would choose one over the other?

Agreed some of the Attractive ones are left alone. Facts.

Some are just down right Mean Looking. Snagglepusses. Guy can read the Bad Vibes.

While some who seem Kinda Ugly get Barfined all the time. Go figure!

Where does Nana Schoolgirl fit in all this. If some of you think she is Pretty she must have Customers. Hahaha. Hahaha.

...
I've always wondered if there was a Rush to barfine the 3's and 4's at the end of the night.

Were the Nana Rainbow girls who get No action during prime time Scooped up at Closing.

As slow as the Bangkok thread is I appreciate guys asking the same questions over and over and over Again.

I like looking at a weather map before I go out. Accuweather works well for me in USA, but it has been inaccurate for me in Thailand. I'll try the Goatscrot link next time I'm in Thailand.

Once you land download a weather app on your smart phone.

Yes I am looking for someone to help me out. If someone would be a fucking homie and connect with me, I'd appreciate it! Like I said, I am looking for help around understanding it.

I spend *way* too much time reading the traffic in online forums devoted to a variety of special interests. I'm old enough to remember Usenet newsgroups in the Nineties, and before that dial-up bulletin boards. It seems to me there are some universal rules that apply no matter what the forum or the topic under discussion.

The rule that applies here says that people who are new to the forum should respect the efforts of those who have taken the time to post useful information. At a minimum, that means doing your homework by reading a representative sample of old posts, which will usually provide a solid baseline of knowledge. If you make an effort and *still* have questions, netiquette dictates that you frame them specifically and ask them individually.

The classic example of what *not* to do: (A) Falsely claim to have "read the forum." (B) Ask for a tour d'horizon. "I've read all prior posts here regarding using a handgun for self defense, but I have some questions. What kind of gun should I buy? What's the best calibre? How does one carry concealed? Do the laws permit me to use the gun to protect myself? Can anybody recommend a dealer?"

You get the idea.

I'm not picking on Mr. Bear. He's just latest chap to wander into the forum and make a common mistake.

That said, I'll dispense a little advice here in the Bangkok forum. He should stay in a hotel near the BTS Skytrain Green Line, between stations E1 to E5. He should spend at least two nights checking out the go go bar scene on Soi Cowboy and at Nana Entertainment Plaza. He should take a look at the freelance girls who hang out in front of the Nana Hotel. He should check out the massage places on Soi 24. He should at least make a lap through Thermae some evening about 2100. I don't like to find girls online. But if he's so inclined, he should read the reports about ThaiFriendly and the escort services.

Old Bangkok Hands will know this barely scratches the surface. But it's a solid start for a guy on his first visit.

Best place for new years eve? Phuket, pattaya or Bangkok?

What do you mean by best? Best to me if where I am with the best looking girl. I don't waste money on overpriced fancy dinners on NYE.

I only know Pattaya NYE and if it's fireworks you want it's pretty unique. If you are on Beach Road near Central Festival you get to see 360 degree fireworks. In front of you along Beach road, to the left at Bali Hai Pier, to the right from somewhere around Dusit Thani, and behind you from 3rd Road (I have to say I was pretty impressed the first time saw them in 2015. Didn't seem as long a display when I watched them in 2022.

Advice. If you really want fireworks go when the Fireworks competition is on in the Summer. Around 4 nights of amazing extended fireworks displays.

Hey guys, flying into Bangkok next Saturday and just wondering what the weather is really like at the moment from anyone on the ground? Goggle says its chucking it down all day but surely not? Is the rain persistent for a few hours now and then and its clears up? Or is it pretty much all day all night long? Trying to plan activities accordingly etc!

I'm on my way back. Its going to be raining for the next two weeks. I use gore tex or an umbrella, or just say in my condo and call for take out if I need it.

My trip is booked in two weeks, but I am yet to book a Hotel. I am astonished at the current prices on Expedia and Priceline. Thus far, I have always been lucky to find an affordable deal on any of those three 5 Stars (four if you count Center Point) between Nana & Asok. The Junior Suite in Hyatt Regency is currently going for $410 a night, that is $3 k a week, that is insane. I suppose demand is likely driving all this (On one hand uncle Powell wants to bring down inflation, the hot-hot economy, and contrarily in Bangkok it seems economy is going up and up fueled by the west. It is believed uncle Powell is done raising rates and now higher for longer will cut down on disposable spendings or better yet loose some jobs. But Bangkok tells a different story on the macro. Some one should send him the Bangkok Hotel prices chart for the last one year, it looks pretty steep to me. He might use it to increase another percent point this November. LOL.

Have seen some good deals on Agoda, but yes, generally the prices have been going up and up.
