Thermae
[QUOTE=Logos]I arrived in BKK yesterday for only one night.
Arrived at thermae at around 1:30, entered at the back through the hotel lobby, sat down at a table in the middle and ordered a drink.
Logos,
Where exactly is Thermae? I have heard a lot about it but my taxi drivers never know what I am talking about. Please let us know.

Great Books

Another great read, although a historical fictions book is the Bangkok 8 series by John Burdett. There are three books so far in the series; Bangkok 8, Bangkok Tattoo, and Bangkok Haunts.

Private Dancer
Private Dancer is available for free download from Stephen Leather's site: http://www.stephenleather.com/unpub.html - well worth a read!
The other thing he did that I enjoyed was 'Confessions of a Thai Private Eye' which is an apparently non-fiction work, based on a set of interviews with some farang private detective in BKK.

As for the rest of the goings in the recent posts, boring.
I started it all because I had time on my hands this weekend, for a change and, prompted by Freeler a few weeks ago to start a controversy, purposely made a provocative statement that was guaranteed to start a fight. Well anyway, I had fun.
as for big fish in a little pond....I wish! No such thing could ever happen in a place like Thailand, where those in charge combine incredible arrogance with mind-numbing stupidity and above all hate Farang. I am in such an abusive situation at the moment, that I am seriously thinking of leaving the Land of Sneers. While I may have at one time loved Asia, I'm not especially fond of it now. I miss Canada and may finally go back.
But, I still like the women.
Although not the Photo Section, I'll post a couple of pics to atone for the sin of boring everyone with a meaningless fight.

i arrived in bkk yesterday for only one night.
after a gentle session at [CodeWord900] at 9 pm to clean the pipes i went out for a leisurely meal then headed back to sukhumvit to check out the action in the area as i hadn't been there in about one year. i was in no special rush to take another girl but was ready to see what fate would bring me.
after a change of clothes at the omni towers (great place btw, located on suk 4, huge appartments for the price of a hotel room, mine even had 2 baths, 2 tv and a large living room area) i walked towards the beergarden on soi 7 where i used to be lucky from time to time.
i was surprised by the large amount of sw on sukhumvit but didn't really focus on them. at the beergarden i had a drink, there were hardly 10-15 guys there and a similar amount of girls who looked totally worn out, so i left after 15'. arrived at thermae at around 1:30, entered at the back through the hotel lobby, sat down at a table in the middle and ordered a drink.
i looked around and felt something looked strangely out of place, but coulnd't put my finger on it. what was it ? the girls looked passable to ok but all the ok girls were seated with guys already. the place was quite full, the music was good, yet something was bothering me. then it dawned on me : i was the only farang, white male, sitting in that area. all the other guys, no exceptions, were asians. some of them sitting by themselves in groups of 3-4, some of them sitting with girls in unequal numbers, like 2 guys/5 girls. and most of them were young, 20's and early 30's being the majority.
i got up and walked around, there were a few westerners hanging about at the main entrance side and i took a stool in that area. a couple of girls came and chatted me up, i asked them if there were usually as many asian men around. they said yes, mostly jap, koreans, chinese, in that order. at 2 the music stopped playing and everybody started to drift out. the best looking girls were inevitably paired with asian guys.
i went out, heard japanese and some korean around me. walked back towards the hotel. lots of katoeys around on the way back, lots of glances from girls who hadn't made it that night yet -and for good reasons too, most were either too old, too fat, too trashy, or a combination thereof.
i stopped on a side soi to buy some ice cream and then i saw a very attractive girl discussing with 2 others. i waited a minute or so, then walked up to her and asked if she was selling something (she was dressed normally and could have been one of those street vendors packing up for the night), she said no, just talking to her friends. she accepted a bite from the ice cream then we sat down. i asked her if she'd come with me. maybe, how much you give me ? i don't know, how much you ask ? st or lt ? st .. ok, 1500 bath. i said, too bad, i only give 1000. she then showed she was fairly new at the game and counter offered with only 1200, to which i agreed. she was a definite 9, 19 yo, and as it turns out, just out from her shift at carrousel, a gogo on np.
we had a very satisfying slow session back in the appartment. i never tell the girls i'll be leaving town soon, but come up with some bullshit that i start a new job there and am looking for a place. they'll treat you nicer if they think there's a chance of landing a lt boyfriend, at least that's what i assume. hell, this one would have deserved it for sure, a total gfe experience condensed in 2-3 hours. she saw me yawning and asked whether she should leave. she gave me her number at the gogo and asked whether i'd come see her dance tomorrow, i said i'd try.
editor's note: i certainly hope that the author or somebody else will post a link to this report in the reports of distinction thread. please click here for more information.

Yes, your average Thai, from just about any sector, is not overly interested in discussing Aristotelian rhetoric nor analyzing the world from a western "logic" point of view. Then again, my farang girlfriends have never ever been able to do for me what my Thai girlfriend can do with her body and her smile....give it a rest fellows, and let's here some reports about some FUN things that people did last night!

And OTH, I absolutely do not have any contempt of you. How could you ever think that. I just think that you are a very interesting person who has interesting viewpoints..

well, whatever....
It's no secret that I don't have much use for bargirls and the like. So, my general disdain for their lack of anything interesting to say certainly might be viewed as a broad condemnation. Once again I've attacked the sacred cow of the girls of P4P.
But, in actual fact, my remarks moved more towards the population at large. That was mostly what I was talking about and I doubt you have much experience of your average Thai at all and therefore can hardly comment on whether they're intelligent or not.
Again, I repeat, whether you are willing to accept it or not, that it is not bigotry, just experience talking.

10-07-07 16:15 #210The problem, OTH, is that you did not use the word "probably" the first time you made this point. You said that the girls (not most of the girls, or many of these girls) ARE as dumb as posts, as though it were an absolute given that this girl was incapable of thinking about anything other than that she might be hungry.

I am always getting lectures on how bad George Bush is. At least she acknowledges how messed up certain things in Thailand are, although she is unabashedly pro-Thai in the final analysis. She will say how stupid something in Thailand is, but always follow it up by saying it is still not as stupid as how the rest of the world is.
