I gave her 1000B for effort, attitude and superlative gluteal dimensions, and sent her on her way. As she left, she apologized for the umpteenth time, and to tell the truth, it did make me feel better.

That is good that you gave her less than the full amount agreed upon.

[HenryV]

While we are on the subject, as a precautionary measure I would the name of a clinic near Nana are in case I come down with a dose of something.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.

Thanks for the links. I already knew the figures mentioned on Thailand Guru's website.

The last PDF document ("HIV-1 infection among female commercial sex workers in rural Thailand") is obsolete (their data were collected between 1989 and 1993!).

I can't see where it is written that 19% of freelancers are HIV infected, as you stated in a previous post. In the first PDF document, it is written that "The HIV prevalences among the street-based sex workers, brothel-based sex workers and other women in these areas not reporting sex work who tested in the clinics were 45.8% (38/83), 4.2% (10/236) and 9.9% (28/284), respectively".

By the way, those figures should be taken with a pinch of salt, as only 684 women were tested, and in Bangkok only.

Great report as always. It was indeed a pleasure to see you again. Thanks for pointing out that her bj skills sucks. I just deleted her from my todo list.
Did you see that Stick wrote about Som (Nummber 8)? Now she will be even more popular than before...

Checked out SK a few times even if it's very far from where my hotel is. My Thai is only very basic so I had difficulties communicating even though in most paces they have usually one mamsan or waitress who speaks ok English. I did not think that the girls where any better than SC or NEP. The cutie I spoke to did not want to go to my hotel as it was too far and proposed some short-time place nearby but when I saw that horrible room, I just gave her a tip and left to SC. No way I would have undressed in that fleapit.

I have not visited this area recently, but a reliable friend of mine was there a few days ago and he confirmed that the going rates are still 1500-1600 baht ST and 2000-2100 baht LT in several go-go bars of Saphan Kwai.

No barfine, but as mentioned earlier, you are charged for the time spent in these establishment in the company of the girl(s) of your choice (about 150 baht/per hour and per girl).

Got up pretty late in the day, went again to Bawarchi to have enjoy another round of meal. Just liked the food and ate little too much than usual. SY was mentioning about Plaza Entertainment complex and decided to check it out. Reached there with little difficulty due to our own stupidity and language barrier. Checked cupidz(on on the basement) didn't find any good ones, so went next level, again few choices, went to 6th floor Aqua. Again very few choices (it must be around 4 then. To early for birds to reach their nests I guess). Then by taxi did some touring of Angaah, J1, Amsterdam. But hardly any likable choices. Decided to head back to hotel to relax. On the way back, decided to check out Annies. More about this later, but Annies was not for my types.!

As we were walking back to hotel discussing how Annies doesn't require touts as we the member of this forums help them to sustain business.! One of the taxi fellow offered us to take to Plaza at 20 Baht and I took the offer, but SY had to go back to hotel to charge his mobile, so alone proceeded back to Plaza. By the time I reached it must have been about 7PM. As usual scanned Basement and 1st floor, didn't like anybody. Moved to Aqua. Stark difference. Matter of few hours, the nest was full of birds. Plenty to choose from at different price levels. The old man who was escorting was real pushy and he wanted to choose one in hurry. But pushed him aside sat there started scanning with eagle eyes. One bird was making eye contact to me and looked pretty young and somehow I melted to that look. Such an innocent face and twinkles in her eyes (which I cud see from about 7mtrs distance) attracted me and told old man to call her over. As she got up from her seat and started walking I was patting my own back for the decision I've made. She walked so slowly and felt she's taking eternal to reach my seat. One of the best "CAT WALK" I've seen. (if one goes back to ancient stories its called "DEAR WALK"). She was wearing tiger marked smallish cloth which was revealing right amount of skin at right places. Though wee bit disappointed looking at her smallish boobies but better than plastic man made ones.! I had a beer in hand as usual she bend over and did "Namastey" and sat next to me. As usual chit chats about names, country, etc etc. I'm feeling good.!

Paid the charges at counter, headed towards the room. Very spacious room, neat clean no smell good view of neighborhood, and mirrors all over. Vow.

As I was lighting a cigy to relax and get used to the atmosphere, Nook came close to me gave one of her deadly very sensuous smile. She just opens her lip little bit exhibits her milky white tooth with little bit of tongue popping somewhere. Just cudn't resist. Pulled close to me and gave a deep, real long kiss. Each our tongues exploring depth of other's mouth. What a start.! By now maid entered and started preparing for the bath ordered a beer, sat there admiring the beauty of the lady in my hand. After some 5 mins or so everything was set for exciting "bedazzled" session. As I finished smoking she was ready without cloths. Very lean tight smooth curvaceous body lovely clean shaven Y. Little boobies were irrespective for me as I was completely blown over other factors around. She helped to get ride of my cloths and gave a surprise look at my Johny. There is nothing much to write about the massage here. One of the other girls whom I asked to do more massage said. "no massage here. Only bath and sex. If you want massage why waste money here go to some proper thai mp". How true.! We got ourselves immersed in the giant tub. She gave a bath washed me everywhere and including Johny. Also gave a real wet BBBJ after washing. I thought of coming in her mouth but somehow do not wanted to dirty her. Instead pulled her and started eating her pussy. Washed it with cold beer and it was as delicious as I've ever tasted. She was moaning to the glory and was completely enjoying the one of the nicest pussy I could lay my hands (or tongue). Almost 30 mins of our allotted time wud 've passed by now. So decided to move over to bed. She dried me and washed herself. Gave some mouth freshener and also washed her pussy with the same. Once we moved to bed I was kissing like a maniac. She was responding so positively that I forgot who I am(Lost in LOS. Still haven't figured it. S for SEX or SMILE). We were exploring and biting each other as much as we could. She slowly moved and started kissing my nipples, played with them for few mins and moved further south to JOhny. He was standing as if he requires lot of attention and that's what she did. She sucked it real wet for few mins, played with my balls, sucked them deep inside her mouth, kissed me all along my legs. So fascinating. After a while pulled her up and again deep kissing. I'm running out of words for the expression here. Got myself top of her and played with those small cherry like nipples for a while. I was one of the best moaning sound I've ever heard. Moves further down and kissed all the way till her toe. Played with them for while, and moved to pussy. It was tasting great with Listerine wash and my tongue was all over her pussy. She was moaning little louder and getting real wet now. It must be my longest DATY. I felt she came once while I was doing this. Her body shivered and almost she bounced of bed. Now we get into Final Act. She pulled me over and put the condoms smoothly. I was feeling this is one of the best erections I've ever had. Started with misshy. Though she had a tight one, since she was so wet I found no difficulty in thrusting mine completely into her. As I entered completely inside her she gave a loudest moan. Her nipples were very erect from the excitement. Entered completely inside and kissed her even more passionately. Her response to the whole action was so good she was reciprocating the same passion with which I was doing the act. Slowly started moving up and down. Removed completely couple of times. Slowly without removing mine outside she slowly moved top of me. She moved there like a salsa dancer and I was feeling her inside muscles movement. Now she was getting tired. I pulled me out slowly and asked her to go to doggy position. She gave a slow pat on my cheeks, smiled and moved to the position. Slowly I inserted again started doing the action. She was on cloud nine by now. Still my johny was going strong and she now started requesting me to come. Again pulled myself out, went back to mishy. Started the action again. She was kissing me so deeply. Now I felt she wanted more of me and responded with all I could. Damn it. She gave me that smile again and my Johnny completely lost now. Exploded and I let out a good loud moan. She held my shivering body tightly and we stayed in that kissing position for a while. Then she ever slowly removed my johny from hers and using napkin removed condom and cleaned me. Then she gave a standing bath and she also had shower.

Having completely lost all of my strength and sat there sipping remaining beer and smoking a ciggy. She came up started dressing. Again ever so slow movements. So fucking erotic. We were almost running overtime here and requested for few snaps which she happily obliged. Got myself dressed with her help. Stole another nice deep kiss, said good bye to her promised to call her to my room. But Alas. That never happened. No wonder they call Bangkok either it MISS or HIT.

I'm really losing my senses here. Yet to know whether its for SEX or SMILE.!

[Kumbu]

life is good
what a night friday was – great experience with the waitress from carousel. i awoke after five hours of sleep, tired as hell, but fresh as a spring time daisy. the world seemed like a better place. i think the rain will subside today. i expect a break through in the israeli-palestinian problem. and maybe al-qaeda will realize what dweeb's they've been and rejoin the civilized world. hugs all around everybody, good job.

as i left my hotel room on the way to work, i felt the bounce in my step, the pep in my grin, and the will to power on through the fatigue. work went fine, thank you very much, and i was home by 6pm. i had a beer meeting set up with a fellow isger for 8pm, so i grabbed a quick power-nap, showered, and trotted off to soi 11 to meet up with one of the finer individuals on this board.

like-minded mongers
i forgot to ask his permission to mention his username, so i will just talk about him in the abstract. turns out he was with his semi-girl-friend – a truly delightful, pretty little thing who giggled and teased just like a gf is supposed to do. we talked, drank some beer, and wiled away about the psychology of mongering, the technical difficulties we encounter, the highs and the lows. it was a pleasure, sir, and i look forward to our next encounter.

i bade my farewells to the isger and his gf and went off to meet another isger – spider_916. but upon checking my texts, i saw that spider was busy. hmm. so i went to nep, just to kill some time, before heading back to soi cowboy to try to pick up that beauty i saw the previous night. i only had time to hit one joint, so i decided to make it a bar i had never been into – rainbow. this is the one on the ground floor, on the right as you enter, the first one next to the escalator. i think it is rainbow 1.

the belch, and other rainbow trivialities
i walked in and it was packed. i mean, there was no seating space, and the stage was packed full of legs, buttocks and super-cuts hairstyles. luckily, a guy was leaving, so i grabbed his spot. i sat there and looked, and the first thing i noticed was that the girls here are all skinny, skinny, and skinny. they also have a very asian look – mostly light skinned, with that chinese type look. i then looked around and noticed that around 90% of the customers were japanese. no, wait, everyone in there was japanese, except for me. wow.

i looked very carefully to be sure this was the case, and yup, i was the only non-japanese there. just then, an old disheveled, drunk-looking caucasian stumbled in and flailed into the seat next to me. he looked my way, sniffled a little, and then his head lolled the other direction. he had grey, stringy, greasy hair, was wearing an army surplus jacket, and had a stunned, whaaaa? kind of look on his face. he looked around a little in a dull-witted kind of way, waiting for the waitress, and in the meantime let out a loud, unabashed belch. it must have lasted a full 3 seconds, leaving an air of stale beer and onions. he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and licked his lips a little. the waitress approached him masking her disgust. he slurred an order for a whiskey-something-or-the-other, and began his blurry, dim-witted gaze at the stage. i think i saw a louse spring from his hair, but i could be mistaken.

i saw his lips curl a little, and i thought he might be getting ready for another almighty belch, but none followed. i then realized that this was his impression of a smile. why was he smiling? maybe he just had a bowel movement, and that's the only reaction he could muster. no, wait, it looked like he was smiling at something in the distance. i followed his gaze, and to my surprise, three girls were making looksies with the guy. wow, you've got to hand it to these girls: they will screw anything for the right amount. but next to these three gals was one slim, stunning girl. she was pretty, skinny, slightly darker skin than the japanese prefer, and a really cute face. she had eyes that were those of a seductress extraordinaire, and she was writhing around on stage as if she really meant it (i.e., no gogo shuffle). she too had pretty much the same kind of smile as the other three, except her smile was not directed at the mess of a man to my right. to my great surprise, she was looking right at me with a huge, sexy grin. ok, didn't i just say that they will screw anything for the right amount? well...

attention: a great aphrodisiac for sure.

i say that because this lovely thing was cute and everything, but she was just a very small girl. she was skinny, with a small ass, slender (not skinny) legs, and smallish breasts. she had great hair, great lips, and of course awesome eyes, and she was very well proportioned, but she just isn't my usual type. nonetheless, fabulous was her smile, and even more fabulous was her attitude, and so the attention she was heaping upon me meant that she had earned herself a chat and a ld.

upon the shift change, i gave her a little innocuous hand wave. she came and sat down, name is lek, 25 years old, no kids, been in bkk many years, but working in the bar for 4 months. she likes bkk, she likes this bar, but not working as a working girl. she likes falang men more than japanese men, and it seems this is the wrong bar for her since 95% of customers are japanese. she admitted this fact, but explained how the few falang men that come in are almost always attracted to her. so it works well for all concerned. her look is the typical **** look that so many of us falang (current author excepted, of course) seek so desperately.

she started to apply the pressure, ever so gently. first was the soft bicep caress (the caress was soft, not the bicep ), then the question of which hotel i stay at, and then she began with the 'i take care you'. i generally take that as a good sign, since they rarely say that in the bar and then end up starfishing you back in the hotel. but the hour was still so early, and there was so much potential out there that i just could not commit to her. so i ditched her, and to her great distress, i chugged down my heineken and cruised on outta there, holding my breath as i passed mr. drunken mctwo-burps.

go west young man...to soi cowboy
it was now something like 10:30, and i took the short 15b bts trip up to asoke and walked over to soi cowboy. i was in search of that beautiful ass i saw yesterday, the one which i left 100b for.

first stop: dollhouse
upon entry, i was disappointed to see that there was no where to sit except in the corner on the right. so i sat there, getting no love from any of the girls. but more to the point, i did not see my girl. so i went upstairs and sat at a table with a good looking set of legs dancing at eye level. i sipped my heineken, letting the buzz of alcohol and sex mesmerize me for a while. the legs looked great, and as i looked up, the rotunda on display also looked pretty damned tasty. i couldn't quite make out the girls face, for lack of cranial dexterity, but that's ok. the haze was descending, in that dark, smoky atmosphere of dollhouse, with the loud music thumping in my ears, arsenal playing sunderland on the big screen, and writhing sexy legs 9 inches from my nose. mmmm, bangkok, oh you sweet intoxicating city, you.

the shift ended, and the girl got down. i was about to call her over when i saw her walking away. damn, the legs that had looked so great at eye level suddenly looked pretty odd-shaped. funny how perspective changes things so much. so i let her slide.

next to climb onto my table was a cute young thing with too many teeth in her mouth (i love that by the way). she too had substantial legs and an even more substantial butt, but given the optical illusion i had just discovered with the other girl, i decided it would be better not to pursue this one until i had seen her from the right angles. her waitress friend came up and gave me the line of how the girl thinks i am soooo cute, and i managed to rebuff those advances fairly effectively. nonetheless, over the next 10 minutes, i kept my eyes fixated squarely on her legs, and every time she spun around, my eyes would shift focus on to her very round ass. and occasionally, when the mood dictated, i would strain my neck and look up at her face, seeing nothing but a mouthful of teeth glowing in the neon light. beyond that i could tell that she had a very cute little face, so i was content. as i was about to leave, i talked a little with the girl on the table, and we got a good rapport going. i eventually returned and bfed this girl, so keep that in mind.

next stops: a series of crappy, loser bars, imho
next: shark. i walked in and the place was so full i could not find a seat. i mean, it was only me (one small-framed guy), and there was not a single spot of space in the entire joint. there were plenty of girls on stage, but shit, this was ridiculous. so i about-turned and left. technically this is not a crappy bar, but it was just too full. this means it is probably really good, but if you can't get in, then what's the use?

next: tilak. this place was also fullish, and very, very loud. i sat in the back and got accosted by a pretty girl who looked to be in her late twenties, early thirties. certainly not my type (skinny), but i needed something to divert my attention, so i bought her a drink. as soon as it arrived, she gulped the tequila down and announced it was time for her to dance. when she told me this, i did not even acknowledge her and just looked away. she sat for a moment trying to figure out if i had heard it or not, and then she figured out that this was my passive-aggressive reaction, and so she slinked away. i was too tired of this shit – bad behavior, ripping of falang, that's it for me and tilak. i've been in there a half dozen times or so and it is always the same shit. this is certainly only my experience and ymmv, but i'm hereby announcing that tilak will be receiving neither kumbu's patronage nor baht.

tilak, you and i are officially done.

next was a place on the other side of the soi called dundee. i walked in and sat in front of three dancers of negligible quality. the waitress came over and asked what i wanted to drink, and then asked me if i wanted a girl to come and sit with me. i said “no, not now”. she said “ok” and left. mama san immediately arrived and pointed to the girls and asked which one i wanted. i said “not now please.” so she left.

then a hostess girl, you know, one of those girls dressed in street clothes but who works there to hustle customers out of their cash, she made looksies with me. i ignored her, and so she indicates she wants to join me. i shook my head and indicated 'no' with my hand. she ignored this and came over anyway. as she was walking over i held out my hand to indicate 'no!”, but she came anyway. she squeezed into the space next to me, pushing me aside, and said “can i talk with you?” i said “i want to be alone thanks” to which she replied 'where you come from?” i told her america, and she said “oh nice. can you buy me a drink?”

grumpy kumbu.

i rolled my eyes. took a deep breath, got up and walked out. the waitress was upset because my drink was on its way, so she just lost a tip, but does kumbu care? i think not.

next, i went to midnite, and was escorted in by a girl in a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and more metal in her teeth than an iron ore mine in papua new guinea. she had long, beautiful hair that went down to her ass, and ears that popped straight out from her head, literally pointing in either direction. this had a kind of endearing effect on me, so after a few moments of chatting i bought her a drink, which was cool. but as soon as it arrived, a parasite friend arrives and chumps me for another drink. oh my buddha, what is it with the hustling tonight?! i ignored her, paid for both drinks (undrunk at this point) and just got the fuck out of dodge.

finally, things begin to work for kumbu
getting downright pissed, i decided to go back to dollhouse for one last shot at the pretty, toothy girl with the voluminous ass. when i got in, i sat downstairs, and to my surprise my tooth-filled girl had moved from upstairs to downstairs. cool, so we made googly eyes for a good 10 minutes while she danced. as she did so, she undulated around the pole really well – swinging her ass left and right, bending well at the knees, using her hips very well. i kept getting distracted by the smile on this girl. her teeth were straight and plentiful, and so that's all i could see beyond the ass. so when she faced me the target for my eyes were her teeth, and when she turned the other way, it was her ass. when the shift changed, she giggled her way over to me - and all i saw was a jiggling bum and a bouncing set of teeth. she was super, super cute, and super, super fun. she did not hustle me at all – not once did she ask for a drink, or a bf, or anything else for any of her fucking friends or anything like that. and then her turn to dance came up again, and so she scampered off to jiggle her stuff for me on stage, all in a great, easy, frivolous mood.

on the next rotation i offered her a drink, and she was very pleased and appreciative. see, this is what it should be like. at around this time, i got a text from spider saying he was on his way. cool, the evening was looking up.

a few minutes later spider arrives and i was quite glad to see him. the shit i had been through was slowly wearing on me, and so his arrival meant some pleasurable talking with a sophisticated, easy gentleman, along side this pleasurably easy girl who was courting me. so we talked while we sipped the beer, and my girl giggled around us like a giddy school child.

after 20 minutes or so, spider spots a couple of friends of his, and suddenly there is a group of us. we talked and drank and basically shot the shit for another hour or so, moving upstairs and continuing up there for a while. it was a low-key, pleasurable time spent amongst mongers in a bangkok gogo bar. i think this is a part of the mongering experience that a lone ranger such as myself should experience more often – it was indeed relaxing and enjoyable. many thanks to spider for being such a hospitable host.

the club announced they were closing at 2:30, so i bfed my girl for 600b. we had agreed to 1500 st, as i needed to get up in the morning. furthermore, she told me that she had a 'reservation' in the early morning. at the time, i thought this meant she had a customer waiting, but later i found out it was something else (unrelated to sex, actually. yah, hard to believe.).

snakes, bats, mice, vampires, zombies...they all have nothing on this
we walked over to the hotel and up to the room. we talked for 20 minutes or so as she sipped some water, and then she strips off. damn girlfriend! she had one hell of an ass on her, and i was getting pretty wet thinking about what i would do to that ass. so i strip and we enter the shower together. i start to wash her off, focusing on the ass and legs of course (you know, leopard, spots and all that). as i am squatting with her soapy ass in my face, i notice the water at her feet was brown. huh? i look up at her in confusion, and see absolute, sheer terror on her face. her eyes are as wide and the same shape as dollar coins, her mouth is contorted in a silent scream, her lips pulled back revealing her teeth, all 48 of them, and her hands start to grasp aimlessly at nothing much. snakes, bats, mice, vampires, zombies were nothing compared to whatever was causing this fear in her.

“tilaaaaak...” she murmurs as she desperately clutches at my shoulders to get up. i'm still dumb and dumber, and i get to my feet not quite registering the gravity of the situation. although from the look on her face i can see something serious is up.

“tilaaaaak....i tink....me have peliod.”

aaw fudgestickles! big, sticky, smelly, stale fudgestickles with shit-chips stuck up my ass with some chili pepper sauce. that's how i felt. goddam, what's next, will she start singing phil collins songs now? or tell me how the american tax system overtaxes the wealthy? or try to convince me how apple is a corporation with a conscience, and not evil like all other corporations? grrrrr.

she kicks me out of the shower, and i stew in the bedroom for a few moments, wondering what i had done to jesus and/or mohamed in my past life such that buddha was fucking me like this. she steps out of the bathroom and says that because it is the first day of her period, we can still do it...if i want.

no, i do not want, thanks. but i did pay her bf, so something needs to happen. she agrees, and promises to make it good. but she cannot do toot, she says in no uncertain terms. so i ask her “what then?” and she says “what you want?”

we eventually worked out a plan. i told her that either i get a good time, or she goes home empty handed. and she had no complaint whatsoever – she was really aghast and embarrassed that we were in this situation. so she strips off, and i can see a tampon string sticking out of her pussy. eeew. i tried to ignore it.

instead, i focused on those beautiful, round buns on her backside. with her standing at the bed's edge, me sitting on the bed, i started to kiss her ass cheeks, and after a few moments of this i began to smell the odor of her period. ugh. so i pushed her away a little and just massaged and groped her butt for a good five minutes. i must say that was getting me off pretty well.

she then turned around, dropped to her knees and started to give me a bbbj. she was aaaaaweful at it! i mean, she tried her best, and gave me all the effort she could, but effort does not belie the absence of talent. so i endured the rather toothy, arrhythmic, haphazard bj for a few minutes, and then decided the ass was the way to go. so i flipped her onto the bed, my dick still sloppy from her bj, and i slipped it between her gynormous butt cheeks (no insertion, just a hot-dog in a bun situation). i started to give myself an ass job, if you will, using the butt cheeks to produce the desired amount of friction. she was kind of a passive participant in this, but she didn't complain or anything. i suddenly realized that i was sans condom...and i was rubbing my dick against her bare asshole...probably not wise at all. but i was already mid-event here, and i couldn't just stop. after all, if i slap a condom on, one of the unlubricated trojans that i have, how would i ass-job myself? i didn't have any lube with me. spit, perhaps, but i had a better idea. see, problem solving skills are our species' forte. here's how i solved the problem, thereby exemplifying our superiority over all other animals: i squashed her ass cheeks together so as to create some height in the flesh, and my dick was now fully engulfed in ass meat, but not really in direct contact with her asshole i know this is still not the best of things, but that was my compromise. i'd like to see some vervet monkey figure that one out, phphphp. i pumped, groaned, squeezed, massaged the cheeks, and eventually blew my load into the small of her back.

i heaved a sigh of relief, and as i did so i smelled the odor of my own cum, as it began to dribble bedwards. i grabbed some tissues and wiped her off. i showered myself, and then she cleaned up without actually taking another shower (i suppose the tampon in there must make that awkward, dunno).

we talked for another half hour. she is a sweet thing for sure, and so i was bitterly disappointed that it had turned out this way, but what is one to do? i gave her 1000b for effort, attitude and superlative gluteal dimensions, and sent her on her way. as she left, she apologized for the umpteenth time, and to tell the truth, it did make me feel better.

i finally got to sleep around 4am, and with my alarm clock set for 9am to get to work an hour late at 10am, i thought i would get a good five hours of sleep. instead, the jet lag conspired to screw me of my sleep, and my eyes popped wide open at 4:51am. shit, tonight i was hustled by everyone and everything, including the cosmic forces of time and space.

Thanks for the links. I already knew the figures mentioned on Thailand Guru's website.

The last PDF document ("HIV-1 infection among female commercial sex workers in rural Thailand") is obsolete (their data were collected between 1989 and 1993!).

I can't see where it is written that 19% of freelancers are HIV infected, as you stated in a previous post. In the first PDF document, it is written that "The HIV prevalences among the street-based sex workers, brothel-based sex workers and other women in these areas not reporting sex work who tested in the clinics were 45.8% (38/83), 4.2% (10/236) and 9.9% (28/284), respectively".

By the way, those figures should be taken with a pinch of salt, as only 684 women were tested, and in Bangkok only.

[Amjeck]

You need to speak at least some basic Thai to go there, then, it's worth it (IMHO) in Bangkok.

Agree, if you don't speak thai don't even bother. You're at a disadvantage and are likely to be overcharged and cheated. These places are not set up for tourists.

[Goyave]

I have heard talk about the SK bars, are they worth going to as a farang? What are the girls like, Isaan look or are they more lighter skinned like thai men prefer?

You need to speak at least some basic Thai to go there, then, it's worth it (IMHO) in Bangkok. The girls working there have (on average) a fairer complexion than in the tourist-oriented venues.

[Goyave]

Ah, now it becomes clear.

An expert on Bangkok who doesn't live here.

I never claimed being "an expert on Bangkok". I just report, as honestly as possible, my personal observations (among other things) about how the local scene has (IMHO) changed since my first sojourn in this country in 1999.

By the way, you certainly know how fallacious arguments from authority can be. For instance, I don't live in Pattaya either, but I've already ventured in some places of this town that many long-time residents don't know.

Everyone can provide valuable insights and information, even tourists. When I was living in Paris (I lived more than 15 years in this town), my tourist friends were sometimes better informed than me on various topics (for instance, the current entry fees in certain touristic venues). I've also observed that people who don't live in a specific town, but who visit it regularly, often notice price changes (for instance) more accurately than the residents, because those variations (for them) are not progressive but more abrupt.

I have not visited this area recently, but a reliable friend of mine was there a few days ago and he confirmed that the going rates are still 1500-1600 baht ST and 2000-2100 baht LT in several go-go bars of Saphan Kwai.

No barfine, but as mentioned earlier, you are charged for the time spent in these establishment in the company of the girl(s) of your choice (about 150 baht/per hour and per girl).

I have heard talk about the SK bars, are they worth going to as a farang? What are the girls like, Isaan look or are they more lighter skinned like thai men prefer?

Are prices at SK still 1500 ST?

Hi
What time do the girls show up at Saphan Kwai gogos ?
I would want to go early in the week and leave the weekend for the locals

If you are taking one LT does it matter how early you take them ?
I was thinking 9-10pm if possible,

Also is there a problem taking them back to Sukhumvit ?

thanks for the info..................BK

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't have much time during the past weeks to check this forum and post reports.

I don't know exactly when the girls usually show up at Saphan Kwai gogos, but I guess that it's in the early evening (6 pm, maybe?). If you come in one of those establishments at 9 pm (approximately), and stay about one hour there, you should not have any problem to take the girl of your choice back to Sukhumvit for a LT session.
