Bangkok Reports

[FernandoAlonso]

If you would have RTFF, you would know, as I have often said:

Don't USE BOLT IN BKK.

Use Grab.

Thank you.

I have been using Bolt during the whole vacation in Bangkok without any issues. This was the first time with problems, seemingly as they are just using taxis as third party providers. I especially loved the motorcycle service. No need getting agitated. Different people, different experiences.

Sorry guys this is a bit late. Too much work.

Due to CNY a bad time to visit but at least the weather was ok in the beginning. So it was really busy time with way too many regular tourists and weekend millionaires.

Street walker.

Quality is pretty much the same, numbers ok, prices from 1500 to 3000, never got quoted the low end though. Highest concentration around Thermae and soi 4, lots of black girls there, surprisingly good looks.

Thermae.

So full I never made it inside. 99% Asian.

Nana.

It's a tourist thing now, never seen that many non-working females going there with their husbands. Lots of girls but inside the clubs not that much action. BF is 1000, ST starts at 3000 to 4000. Not really value for money in my opinion.

BJ bars.

The old ones have terrible looking SP so I passed. Enjoyed Madame Claude, very well trained and quite pleasant but the prices are rather high, starting at 1300 for 20 minutes. The FS offers are not worth it in my experience. Nice rooms though but as I was not there to admire the interior decor and was greeted my first time by a huge dead cockroach, well, no points for that. Mama was very responsive via Line, using it for reservation is recommended.

Nuru.

Started with BKVice but again, great decoration, high prices (3000 for I think 60 minutes) but the girl had no clue about Nuru. FS was ok but pricy. The Mama from Doki was so unfriendly on line and my fav was on extended holiday so I passed.

Oilies.

That is how I call the low end MS shops even they now also offer Nuru but I never tried that. Prices stable at 2300 for 2 hours, girls quality was rather good. My favourite is SnowWhite / Cherry. One of the PSE superstars there has her own shop now in Soi 22, in the secon small side road behind the Marriot, name is Siky. If she teaches the gals her skills will be a superb place.

Short version, pm for any details, happy to elaborate if wished. Even though prices are up, still my go to place.

FA.

P.S.: taxi from airport to Asoke was 220 fare plus 25 tolls around 1 am. Using bolt on the way back was a disaster, driver could not find the hotel, which is directly at soi 23, charge was 300, the app had quoted 240 altogether.

Thanks for the heads up re black girls hang outs. I've had a yen for black girls recently. I hooked up with a couple for meet ups when I arrive on TF but they dropped off radar and deleted so this source is good to know. Wondering if rates are similar to those of Thai girls.

[Nyezhov]

That sucks, my bolt to airport found me but took like 15-20 mins but I was going early anyways to check out the lounges. I'll just remember to chill in my room until they get there LOL. Think was like 300 but a lot cheaper than grab that was like 500+. But yeah if you're in a hurry Grab seems to have more drivers.

I don't wait for cars in order to save six bucks.

Anyway long story short, not a matter of price but a matter of value. I found a lot more value elsewhere.

Value? It depends on how you define value. Some people define it as pure cost, some folks add other factors, usually because they can afford what they want. This isn't a place SOLELY for folks who live for the question "Where can I find a 10 for 1000 baht?

[HorseTrader]

Agree. Girls see everything you do and will remember it on your future visits. What else do they have to do when half he time you're the only guy in the bar. They know guys who don't buy drinks, buy drinks, buy LOTS of drinks, don't barfine, and barfine.

It absolutely pays to be a regular at a gogo bar. When you can walk in and not need to even order a drink or lady drink and there's 5+ girls vying for your attention you know you've been to that club too many times in the past month or two.

This reminds me of one more thing that mamasan does, when multiple girls fight for the bulge in my pants, mamasan will quickly resolve the conflicts in my favor. Of course, the applicable bulge is my wallet.

Some dancing girls notice when I leave with a bar fine, the next night those girls seem strangely attracted to me. Being a return customer has it's advantages.

Five star analysis.

Dude, I just wanted to give props to you. I like a guy who is under no illusions and is comfortable with reality.

Much better than those "she didn't want money but I put 5 k in her purse anyway" or "I banged bargirl XYZ and now she's madly in love with me" stories.

If you are spending your money in a way that gives you a good time, 👍 to you.

Enjoy. G.

Thanks for the nice words, but I must admit that I only spend that magnitude of money in Bangkok or Patong. Since COVID I've been spending about 12 weeks per year in Thailand and most of my time is beach resort areas (not Pattaya) where the hot girls are few and far between. Prices are much lower and I'll typically pay 1500 ST for one of the doable girls or 2000 - 2500 for one of the rare hot girls. The most I’ve spent in a beach resort area has been 3000 ST.

There must be more to this than meets the EYE.

I get turned down all the time. It's like they think my last name is kumamthanchakiranandi. And my 1st name Raj and I work Dell Call Center.

Seems you have a problem with costs. I'll agree that Nana can be a little expensive for some folks, but for those who can afford it, it's a great time.

I have A little bit of curiosity and ask my fellow experienced Bangkok travelers following:

How many of you believe that this dude smashed an 8 and 1/2 massage girl for 300 b in Bangkok. I don't.

The last sentence of their posts are always.

[Nyezhov]

I'm farang, too big, and old as dirt, I don't have the same sex appeal as younger, more fit, and better looking punters. The girls do not gravitate to me. Sometimes I have a great time with the 1200-2500 street freelancers, but what I normally crave are the 1 in 10 Nana plaza go go girls. I don't mind paying 4500-6000 baht to get what I want (drinks, waitress tip, mama tip, tuk tuk, hotel reception tip, and girl money).

I have only 1 Nana mamasan who arranges many of my dates (I used to have 2). She knows me, I tip her, and she finds what I want. Mamasan likely tells the girls that I'm a good customer because they consistently give me better service than I got before I became mama's regular customer. If I know which girl I want, I might arrange directly with mama before entry into bar without ordering any drinks, exactly zero girls have complained about missed alcohol. Some dancing girls notice when I leave with a bar fine, the next night those girls seem strangely attracted to me. Being a return customer has it's advantages.

Nana & Soi Cow are now total rip off places. Leave them for the Asian idiots who think that paying 5000 (incl BF, girl, Drinks) is a good deal.

Plenty of other options around. SW 1500/2000. Good ones maybe 2500/3000. The SW scene has changed from what it once was, I believe more reliable.
