Bangkok Reports

[CzarNicholas]

20 years ago there were far fewer options for hanging out in Bangkok. For the Western expat dude there were GoGos, British pubs, discos, beer bars, and restaurant bars. No craft beer bars, no cocktail bars, no real upscale restaurant scene save a few places in hotels and a very few independent places like L'Opera and LE Banyan.

GoGos had cheap beer, many decent music, and of course girls. It's where guys went after work, for a night out, to hangout with their friends. You'd meet high paid CEOs and low paid English teachers all in the same bar, some hanging out together. It was fun, everyone could afford it, kind of like the entire "pub" concept but with Asian p4 p gals. Yes, there were tourists but most were like minded and the regular frequent visitor seemed to be almost as excited about seeing friends in Bkk as he did banging chicks..

I believe (LOL from what I learned in abnormal psych) that inferiority complexes produce all types of negative behaviors.

This I can afford it and you can't attitude is just another feeble attempt.

To overpay out of desperation, under the guise of arrogant pretense (I'm sure even 5 yr olds know arrogance is a mask those with inferiority issues wear).

Can I coin a new term here? Its in response to the term "cheap charlie" which I believe.

Is meant to be a pejorative aimed at westerners that get away with paying less for WGs (BTW you cannot pay me a higher compliment than 2 call me a cheap charlie, I am truly flattered).

I have a term for the flip side of the coin.

"Desperate Duan" he will pay any price for any service.

A super hot 18 yo girl came to my room gave me the most amazing PSE the other day.

I pay her at the end whilst she was leaving, I hand her the 500 pesos we agreed 2.

And she says as she kisses me goodbye, you are a very beautiful man.

But why so kuripot LOL she made me blush which isn't easy 2 do.

Ill take that compliment any day.

Just like here in ac I was talking to tourist police the other day on walking street.

He said they were having a problem last few weeks, with pickpockets targeting Korean mongers.

I think really? Why don't they target me? I'm dressed well. I have an expensive phone and 20000 pesos in my pocket?

Mongering 101 #1 tip.

Don't do things to make yourself designated an easy mark.

Be the hunter not the hunted.

There is no status in overpaying (I stand corrected, you too can be designated a desperate Duan!

Maybe you should marry her.

Maybe I will, but if I marry her I would have to marry currently about 10 others too. For example, I am in love with an RB2 girl I just met about 2 weeks ago and absolutely mad about my Atomic Blond who I flew up from Phuket last week. I spent 3. 5 days with Atomic and we did not leave my hotel room except to eat, shop, and go swimming. Atomic is now off on a whirlwind summer tour of Korea & Japan with a few of her GF's. What's working girl suppose to do in low season?

My only regret this trip is I do not have enough time to visit Jakarta. There are a couple of girls there that I am in love with too. HA HA. One of them just Lined me.

Yes, there were tourists but most were like minded and the regular frequent visitor seemed to be almost as excited about seeing friends in Bkk as he did banging chicks.

You often had groups or different groups of guys you'd hang out with on different nights. Friday was always a bif night. We'd meet up at Woodstock in Nana Plaza for a few, head to Warbler for Santos's excellent Indian buffet, then it was off to run the bars. And then after much drinking and carousing if you didn't pull, it'd be off to Nana Disco or Thermae. This was every Friday for quite a few years.

Of course it was focused on the gals, but it was almost as much about having fun. None of us would have been tempted to go to GoGos alone back then. That'd be no fun at all. I knew very few solo mongers, which seems to be the rule on this board now and in fact we always looked at solo mongers as a bit strange.

And of course it was not very expensive. I never spent over 3 k even for a big night out, usually closer to 2 and that would include dinner, drinks, and a shag. Kept it open to dudes on all budgets. Drinks were 80 Baht when I arrived. A little less than 2 usd. To have a similar night now you'd have to spend close to 10 k. There was also none of this "I can afford it and you can't" smarmy attitude that I see now. No one was looking for an exclusive experience. As stated above, it was fun, cheap, and we all appreciated it. As one friend put it soon after Baron's Massage opened, "GoGos are where you go to meet up and drink with your mates. When you want a good shag, you go to Baron's."

In addition, GoGo areas were not tourist attractions. You never saw tourist couples out to gawk at the proceedings. Could count on one hand the times I saw western women in the areas on one hand the first 10 years I was here.

So to make a short story long, in a nutshell GoGos were the center of male expat social life in Bangkok. Now, most expats I know don't go to GoGos and the younger western expats are put off entirely by the p4p scene and most couldn't afford it now even if they wanted to. So therein lies your difference.

I feel fortunate to have been here then and seen the end of that era. It was just fun and I miss it.

Very well said, sir!!

I am in Yangon on my Thai visa run. Hooked up with a wonderful girl that I met in October 2018. What an angel! 39 kg, thin, large natural ta ta's, pink nipples, blond hair, sweet personality, soft skin and a tasty pussy. Who could ask for anything more? I am going to see her again tonight.

Maybe you should marry her.

I was always a solo monger, buddies not needed, so I hardly ever went to a gogo for purpose of male company and socialising, I would have thought the pub and many other venues are better for that. I "socialised" with girls a little because could converse with them if they were extremely close to my ear. However main purpose of a go go was getting a girl for sex or at least trying to find one.

The exception would have been 1991 with a buddy showing me around all the places he liked, whether Soapies or bars. Otherwise would have known pretty much zero. No ISG back then. No internet on mobile phones. Did not have a mobile phone as yet. Probably had a pocket calculator / organiser, LOL. I think joined ISG in 2005 most likely, suggested by a monger I met.

However these days if meet someone like Natty in a go go bar, it is hard to have a conversation I simply can't hear well with the very noisy music. I have to move very close to catch what a guy is saying. Other buddies have exited a go go quickly complaining it is just too loud. Were the gogos much quieter in early 2000's?

Back in early 1990's I did go to pubs in my home country with buddies on Friday night but always struggled to converse against the noise more than others did. I have weak ability to separate different sound sources. Gogos were even more noisy naturally.

I also can't afford to go to gogos on a daily basis any more, nor go even weekly. The interest has waned, just due to expense of time and money and increasing difficulty to find a great girl. A rich guy with unlimited spare time, is in a better position. We want fabulous girls, but very few are that good. I am not the ideal customer as well.

Fortunately I am doing better and better with the Mrs these days (she is more horny than used to be), so that helps the mongering desire to dwindle. Hard to believe my home sex life improves, while outsourced sex declines.

Is there spell check that changes correct spellings (Latin) and posts them incorrectly?

Like my phone does LOL.

Yes unfortunately the forum software mashes posts by attempting incorrect auto changes. So you post not what you intended.

Those with edit function can fix most of the un-corrections but it is a pain. The easiest way to fix posts, is to copy the entire text of your post before posting, then after posting, edit the post and repaste the entire text back over what the forum software destroyed.

I really don't understand why admin don't turn off the auto-corrector function. Perhaps they cannot. Banned words rules are a bit stupid as well, e. G. Loli-tas, pis-sing, etc. Yet we can write fuck with no problem.

Natty, you're too popular. Please clear your PM's.

Done.

Off topic update: I am in Yangon on my Thai visa run. Hooked up with a wonderful girl that I met in October 2018. What an angel! 39 kg, thin, large natural ta ta's, pink nipples, blond hair, sweet personality, soft skin and a tasty pussy. Who could ask for anything more? I am going to see her again tonight. The good times keep on rollin'.

[Member #4698]

What a joke. I'm not sure which one is less respected these days, the Nobel Peace Prize recipients or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

It's a tie. Although good Rock n Roll is a more serious issue than world peace.

[CzarNicholas]

In all seriousness I would pay her price.

But it would have 2 be BBFS, I'm guessing that's why she doesn't like me.

I'm sure I asked for that, and she marked me as persona non great lmao!

Hookers can't hurt me LOL.

If they reject me I get what I want from some other hooker, they lose (I'm guessing she goes home without any money some nights) her choice.

I will get what I want (trust me) it may just take me a few more minutes 2 find it.

If you have a pocket full of baht in Thailand, don't fret everything will be OK LOL.

Like my phone does LOL.

[Etaoin2003]

Any updates? Is it even operating?

Yes. Still the place to go for experienced company.

How were gogo bars socially different in the good old days?

Still open and packed some nights. Great music, good drink prices and aged ladies. But you can nego a good price with these ladies. They all seem to have a love of the drink. As in buy me a drink? Good luck, although you don't need it in there.

Thanks for the update. Picked up my spirits.

[Smoothy]

And, for the record, Barry received the Nobel Prize for Peace.

What a joke. That was the icing on the cake since Obama had been in office less than a year at the time, but that award had lost all credibility years prior anyway. Al Gore won it in 2007 for Christ Sakes. I'm not sure which one is less respected these days, the Nobel Peace Prize recipients or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.
