I am a frequent traveller to Bangkok lately. I do not normally get time to indulge in pleasure as I got for work all the time. Last week I had an evening free. Stayed at Sukhumvit hotel this time. Walked to Thermae and it was full of girls. Took a beer nd walked two rounds to pick a girl. Picked a cutie. She quoted 3000 and no negotiation. Wen to room, and she was cute, but average body. Usual service, nothing special. Wham, bam, thank you ma'm.
Next night I went into one of the bars in nana plaza. The big one on left side after you enter. saw a cutie on stage who was very chatty and jumping around. Asked mama san to invited her over for a drink. She was very receptive to my roaming hands and very playful. Took her back to my room. 1000 bf and 3000 for her. She was an eye candy and behaved like my girlfriend..enjoyed her in all ways possible.
Perfect night for me. Will be back.

I was wearing sandals, so stepping into water was not a big problem, but after less than a minute of walking I felt a tingling in my whole body. Not necessarily being the sharpest pencil in the drawer, I for a moment wondered if it was the sight of a pretty young girl ready to massage me that was causing the tingling, but deduced that no, it was voltage running through my body.
You are free to go for a walk yourself of course, but I would not advise it. Being frightened about it may very much be the correct thing to be. And there may be other things than live wires in the water too.

Posts: 6493Flood in Bangkok
I was in BKK in the dry season, cruising on water taxis on the Chao Phraya.
Noticed the concrete dike along old town and Chinatown is old and very high; the ground and houses next to the dike were about 10 feet lower than river level, even in the dry season.
Rainy season creeps me out.

Posts: 537This was 20 years ago on my first trip. It was raining hard and I past by a metal sewer grate / drain. OMG! It was just like in the movies. Rats were pouring out of the sewers drains into the streets. Freaked me out.

How do you get around? MRT & BTS are fine. I once saw a long tail boat and car fill up at the same station (this was not on Sukhumvitt or Ratchda). If this is a major concern stay near your favorite place to monger but this wouldn't make my top ten list of considerations when planning a trip to Thailand.

If it floods, however, beware. Don't Wade through the floods. There are things in the water. Horrible things, loathsome and bloodthirsty. The rain starts their life cycle and when it floods they are ready to feed. Hungry, slathering, needing the Taste of blood and flesh. You step in the flood, and the next thing you know, your feet have been stripped to the Bone as you scream and agony and the boys in brown attempt to pull you to safety.
The worst is at night, when they surf the floods in empty pizza boxes and plastic cups leading to the rending of Flesh not only below the water, but above. Think of the horror at you watch them swarm a lady boy ripping and tearing at the parts not needed anymore. I remember seeing a group of Indian tourists who were just happily sharing a Coke before the creatures surfed down on them with teeth slashing and chattering, leaving nothing but skeletons holding hands.
If you didn't know why Thailand empties out during rainy season, you do now. Beware.

There are days (evenings usually) when Bangkok will be flooded to the extent you will not be able to drive a car / get a taxi for a few hours as the roads are so flooded, and you should avoid walking at this time due to very real risks of electrocution or other bad things, but while the rainfall is heavy, it is also mostly over in an hour or two.
It's not bad enough to factor into my decisions on whether to go or not. Merly a minor annoyance occasionally when you're planning to meet someone, and they send you a picture of their flooded outside and say they can't come.

Posts: 286How wet is the wet season?
I normally visit SE Asia a couple of times a year during the English winter (typically November and March).
During these months the weather in Thailand is normally very nice. However, I was thinking of visiting July time this year which is middle of the rainy season. I've been to Singapore many times, which has a fairly consistent climate of about 160 mm of rain each month and didn't notice it being particularly rainy. Bangkok is about 180 mm during the rainy season, so it doesn't look much worse than Singapore is all year round. However, you do hear some horror stories about flooding in Bangkok when it rains.
So how wet is the wet season. Does it seriously impinge on nocturnal activities?
