General Info

[Priamos]

I'm going to Bahrain next month so I've been (re-)reading the below postings with a certain interest. Am I correct in understanding that the going rate for a CIS girl in Hotel Phonecia is 60 Bahraini Dinars for one hour? I confess to a slight surprise: that's about 170 US dollars and/or 120 Euros. (I know the Gulf states are more expensive than Thailand and East Africa, but this is also way above, say, southern Europe....) How much does one pay for an all-nighter, then?

Which hotels feature Morrocan? Syrian/Jordanian? Persian? and Lebanese action?

[Ruthless]

Gentlemen, it's been a bit since I've been in Bahrain (about 2 months), but I thought I'd get the little bit of info I have out to you. In regard to hotels - the Phoenecia was always productive, but I think that's already been covered. Another productive one was the Riviera in Jawahar, close to the US base. Fairly standard arrangement, but no need to go to the disco - just ask the doorman for room numbers when you arrive, and in no time you'll be flooded with prospects. CIS mainly, but there was a lovely Persian girl who I sampled last time. BD40 ST, 60LT, room was BD 30. Perhaps the best arrangement I found was at a hotel in the souq, I believe it was the Bahrain Hotel (not the Bahrain International). They have a very seedy bar that I wouldn't recommend, but rooms are BD8 and I had a very attractive Chinese girl for BD10, all access provided. As for other hotels, I think the arrangement is always fairly standard. If you do have the opportunity to stay in apartments when in town, many of them feature girls. Of note were Jawahar Mansion and Fareed Plaza (all of the various numbers). Enjoy, gents.

Just a word on the side with information from the Dubai forum. I personally would be very wary about paying up front, especially giving money to a third party in the disco. This leaves you open to either a LT becoming a ST with no recourse, or even being left high and dry with no girl at all if they suddenly bugger off. I'm glad that this didn't happen to you. After reading the DXB forum extensively, I'm inlcined to insist on 'pay after'. This gives you a little more control of the situation. Not a hard and fast rule by any means, sometimes you have to bend a little if it is worth it to you.

Expatcat, of course that's good advice but in this case everything just felt "right" so I "bent" a little. I had been with her chatting and buying her drinks for awhile inside and she really seemed trustworthy in that Thai sort of way. Also, this happened outside after we had discussed when and where to drop her off the next morning (she was intimidated with taking cabs alone).

I'm not saying I have some super sense to know when I'm about to get ripped off, but I've been doing this for a long time and I often trust my instincts. I think we all have had that feeling when things are turning bad and I didn't feel any of that. Plus, these girls work the same bars so if I did get ripped off I could go back the night and raise a fuss. And it was only 50BD.

In the end it all did work out and I had a memorable night (and morning) of pleasure. Also, with the Thai babe I went with two nights later, the subject never came up. In fact, as she was leaving my room the next morning she had to shyly ask, which was embarassing. Really bad form on my part to make her have to ask but I really forgot. maybe because she was such a GFE that I was feeling more like it was really was my girlfriend leaving!

Anyway, I'm agreeing with you. But this is a case where I think you'd have had to been there...it was felt Ok this time for a lot of reasons some of which I can't really explain.

[ExpatCat]

I really couldn't care if that was true but her friend did seem to coach her and even took my money, 50BD for all night (orginally asked 70).

I believe that Phoenicia gets coverage because of the CIS connection and the because of visitors coming to the kingdom. It may not be so good for residents here in Bahrain (60 for girl and 25 for room). I've posted fr's regarding TC's which has had consistantly interesting talent some time ago. Also worth checking out is Diggers in the Delmon Hotel. In both TC's and Diggers the Thais seem to rule the roost.
On the other side of town, more Thais in the bar (Joeys) or the disco at the Sea Shell. Last weekend I dropped into the Bahrain Plaza. The disco round the side was a little murky (dark and unappealing and a bit of a dive) so I looked into the bar just inside the lobby on the right. Hooked up with a tasty Thai (all Thais in there). BD 20 for the hour and BD 10 for the room. Room ok, nothing to write home about, but clean. Too pissed to get much of an impression of the standard of the girl. More willing than I was at the time. . . I'll have to check it out sometime in the future when I've had less of a skinful Stupid of me really.
Latest gen on other venues. I believe that Wrangler still has tarts. Last time I was there I was quoted BD 100. I laughed ! I've heard that the Warbler (Baisan Hotel) is now being called "the Chinese takeaway" by expats. I haven't frequented either of these two venues in some time, so this is just hearsay. When I get the opportunity I'll visit them and report.
It's good to see that this section is finally getting some life. I'm here for the whole summer (the 'trouble' is going back home) so I'll get some opportunity to monger in peace.

Good hunting to all.

After my visit I was just wondering why the Phoencia is covered so much in here and there's no mention of places like TCs or Wrangler's where I ended up at. Is it that those type places (i.e., with Thais) are a dime a dozen? I can't believe there's that many places on the island like TCs with the number of girls there.

I poked my head into the Virginia City bar and saw the babes on stage, but it clearly sucked. The "disco" is the bar on the top floor, right? I guess I was just too early. Next trip I'll stop by later.

It turned out OK though as I had a great time with the Thai girls, probably a lot better time than I would have had with a CIS girl.

Yes its the nightclub on top floor. Virginia City though can be useful for punters not staying in the hotel and wanting an afternoon 'quicky' (between 3 to 6pm). Thats when the girls in the hotel are waking up and some may go down there for a meal.

If you mean for 'Phoenicia Disco' the place called 'Virginia City' you will just loose your money in buying garlands and nothing wil happen witht the cis ladies of band. They are stunners but they dont go for it, for having satisfaction guranteed, take a room and let them come to you, but I don t know if girls band are available, once I made it one gorgeous polish , told me was an exception. BTW, I suggest you to not go to early and avoid weekends.

[JP2U]

Hey Pablo,

I think you went too early to the Phoenicia Disco. In the past a few girls might hit it early from around 10:30 or 11pm, but they may have started to go later over time. I know when I dropped in a few months ago (around 1am) the place was hopping.

Even with striking out at the Phoenicia I still had a great time in Bahrain with three nights of fun with the Thai talent. The first night my buddy brought me to Tabasco Charlie's or "TC's" as everyone called it, in the Adhari Hotel. The place was packed with girls, mostly Thai but also some others (my guess some CIS, Ethiopians, Filipinas, etc.).

My guess is that at midnight when we showed up there were 50-75 girls there. There was a number of military guys but that was fine, the crowd was good.

I hooked up with a gorgeous Thai girl named Michelle who claimed it was her first night in Bahrain. I really couldn't care if that was true but her friend did seem to coach her and even took my money, 50BD for all night (orginally asked 70). It was a GREAT night with a couple of pops and then a nice extra in the morning before I dropped her off at a pre-arranged meeting place.

The next night we started at the Phoenecia as I described below. When that didn't work out, we went to the Wrangler where there were plenty of girls, mostly Thai again. Lots to choose from and I was tempted but because I was in Manama to work and had about 3 hours of bad sleep the night before I passed.

The third and final night we partied around town at a bunch of places I don't recall and ended up at Wrangler's again. My buddy and I were with two Thai babes again but mine pissed me off so I dropped her. There was limited talent there, maybe a dozen or so even worth looking at so I split up with my buddy and went back to TC's alone.

The crowd seemed a little thinner than Sunday night, but plenty of girls to choose from nonetheless. I finally hooked up with a pretty 30 year old (looked 23) who took my first offer of 50BD without hesistation. It was another full night of pleasure and she was really sweet.

Since I love Thai girls I had a great time overall and I'm looking forward to my next visit. I was looking forward to doing a Russian beauty but that'll have to wait for next time. 50BD for an all nighter with a gorgeous sexy Thai girl was well worth it. I'll go back anytime!

I just returned from my quick trip to Bahrain. One goal I had was to check out the CIS action at the Phoenicia, but there was none when I went there this past Monday night. Me and my buddy showed up at about 10:15PM and went up to the disco, there was one girl in there. Thinking I had confused where to go we went over to the Phoenicia Towers and went up to their disco. Same thing, nearly empty. The guys did say the discos open at 11 but they were set up and ready to take our money then.

Both wanted 5BD cover but the guys at the door both let us look inside before paying and had no issues when we walked out. So we walked down the street to a local watering hole and had a couple of beers and went up again at about 11:15. Same thing in both: next to nothing. We checked the other bars in the hotels also.

Was this because it was Monday night or did something happen? I don't think I screwed up. I only checked that one night because it sucked so bad my buddes didn't want to go back and there was action to be had elsewhere.

[Wise Brown Owl]

Are there any CIS girls left in Bahrain? The Thais are taking over big-time, and all the places I used to frequent have Thais only. By the way, Anybody with experience in the Panorama hotel? I heard it is a happenning place, just wondering if it is worth a visit.

[Yours Faithfully]

Thats incredibly cheap. Well below market rates. I think your post will result in a flood of people going to check it out.

Maybe its straight massage only?

No its for an hour of sex...straight massage joints cannot afford so many girls and no repeat customers. I asked two girls on two different nights and both were for sex. One of them I asked if anal was ok and she said yes. But again until somebody from the form goes and tries you cannot be sure, as I told I have not *tried* it as I am quite committed to my wife just yet.

Also cannot state what the rooms are like in terms of being tidy/clean/neat

The hotels name is Bahrain Plaza hotel. The girls come only by 11. If you go early you find fewer girls.
