Cops
I was in soi cowboy every night for a week last week. Always 2 cops at soi 23 entrance, asked one where a drug store was when nearby 2 were closed at 11 pm. Even pointed to closed door of nearby drugstore. Did not get the LOS look in return. It was more like ask me another question and you will wish you had not asked the first time. I did not see any farangs being questioned. I have now changed hotels and am near Nana. The cigarette police have a green patch on their shoulder, usually see them on Sukhumvit, even stopped to talk with one a few days ago and got the LOS look, friendly guy. I have not seen anyone stopped, but between my nearly every day visit to my fav soapy Colonze2, and to visit my fav go-go girls in Mandarin in NP, and beer drinking in Stumble Inn I do not get to everything happening on the street.

It was truly scary but she probably gave the guy a heck of a ride.
Speaking of landmarks closing down. Walked by the Rex Hotel on Sukhumvit and Soi 32 today and workmen were hauling out its contents and piling them into trucks. From what I gather this was a famous spot back in the 60's and 70's with a coffee shop full of girls. It closed on 12/31. I like the 60's exterior design. Quite cool in a small way. It's all disappearing.
Hey, experience makes the difference!
The Rex was the first hotel I stayed at, back in 1999 I think it was. It was a bit down at the heel, and in need of some paint and carpet. It was probably pretty ghastly by now. But I remember the staff being friendly and helpful, and the room was OK too. <Sigh! Another landmark bites the dust.

The information appears to be slightly out of date. According to Stickman's site, it was this bad until a few weeks ago. Probably the international scrutiny caused a few angry phone calls from some big shots. But supposedly it has all stopped.
I will say that the cigarette butt scam has been around a long time. But that's your own fault. If you're going to smoke, dispose of the butts in the proper receptacle (I know, hard to find in BKK). But tossing butts on the ground is technically illegal in a lot of places.
I do love the way so many articles bleat about deposing "a democratically elected government. " Hitler and Mussolini were "democratically elected" to their respective parliaments and became heads of state through "legitimate" means. But that's off topic.

Police scam
Is it as bad as reported in this article in Sukhumvit / Soi Cowboy area?

I am a little confused about this place and the freelancer status of the girls. A friend went by a week ago and spoke to a couple of the girls. He thought the quality was ok and he is very picky. But when he asked price they told him to speak to the mamasan and told him any exchange of favors had to take place on the premises. If this is the case it isn't really a free lancer place is it? Can any girl go in or do they have to be invited by the managers? Perhaps they are using some quality control so that it doesn't turn into an old folks home like the BG. But making you do it on the premises and going through a mamasan feels more staff than freelance.

That's sad DRR.
It was our "go to" spot in the 80's too, especially later at night around 12 to 1 am.
Always a lot of girls sitting in there, some of who became our "regulars" if we had missed out elsewhere.

Actually it is being closed because there is a development slated for that block, and I guess the owner got an offer he could not refuse.
There are very few lookers in the BG now.

Sounds like Lollipop and Kasalong. Both are BJ bars. Been to both and just need to select the right girl. Not sure about Lollipop but Kasalong also has 2 rooms for ST. Kasalong was 100 baht cheaper last time I visited.

Ice and Candy
Ice is back in Bangkok. She may move, though not to Pattaya. Got an email about her and another lady who works in a regular massage shop doing a threesome a couple of days ago. Same email mentioned running into Candy who has left the business and now works in a retail store. Candy is a real sweetie. I wish her the best.

Saw something very disturbing. A guy buys a ladydrink for a Rainbow girl-when he isn't looking the girl makes a very sour face to her friends. Disdain if I ever saw Disdain . Guy barfined girl-as I was leaving the girl was sitting outside. It couldn't have been 13-15 minuets since they left. I bet she was a NO CAN girl. No can touch this, that, cannot do that, etc.
800 baht Rainbow barfine? Maybe business is down girls are getting creative-extra 200 baht in the pocket never hurts.

You asked also the same kind of question in the escorts section. I guess you get the point now. Read the postings in every forum for at least the last two months and then please come back with more specific questions. That will be more useful for you.

Perhaps if you define "best" and "independent" we would know where to start. For now, I'd say Noy is OK, Plaa ain't bad either but Mod has her good and bad days, so it is a gamble.
All silliness aside, how do you expect us to answer such a general question? It is like asking "I'm visiting London. What are the best places to go to"?

What the duck? If I had to give an answer it would be an educated type, with loads of cash, stunning in looks, and perhaps most importantly, craves her some farang dick.

Barfines price up?

Little cutie latched on to me, but there was something off about her. Not sure if she was drunk or high. She kept pestering me to BF her. BF was 800,2000ST, 4000 LT. Had my one drink and got out of there.
Next stop was Angelwitch. Same as in Pattaya, in that they put on erotic shows, they even play the same theme music. BF was the same as Rainbow 4, (I see a trend here.).
I wasn't aware that the barfines in both bars (Rainbow4 and Angelwitch) had increased. Can somebody else confirm?

One of the wisest, most salient, short-and-sweet posts to come down the pike in a long time. Go-gos are SUCH a poor value for money that I, too, stopped going a couple of years ago.
