Bangkok Reports

[Giotto]

To anyone who is there in BKK now, what's Sukhumvit like at the moment? Apparently all hell's broken loose down in Khao San Road area tonight (and I mean actually IN ksr, not just near it) with some fatalaties, including a Reuters photographer killed.
...

Wendella,

Officially 9 dead, 500 injured. The numbers are still rising. I just heard 11 dead (not officially confirmed).

Truce at the moment, some talks between Government and UDD.

I heard the rumours about Khao San Road, too, but it was never confirmed.

A Reuters cameraman, Japanese, was killed.

The upper Sukhumvit area is quiet, business as usual, in Soi 31 is are 3 trucks with policemen, doing nothing (villa of the prime minister). I am not sure about the lower Sukhumvit, but I expect it to be quiet there, too.

There are rumours right now, that the riots are not over. The police / army seam to re-group.

It's right now Sunday, 11.04.2010, 1 am .

To anyone who is there in BKK now, what's Sukhumvit like at the moment? Apparently all hell's broken loose down in Khao San Road area tonight (and I mean actually IN ksr, not just near it) with some fatalaties, including a Reuters photographer killed...I'd heard there was a confrontation today on lower Suk itself but not sure what status is, or if the area's been cleared by now. What are Nana and SC like tonight?..FYI, there's reports of bombs being thrown by redshirts today, and also of them opening fire with guns (saw one mention of one having an AK47)...Just be careful. Might be a good night to stay in the hotel.

There's a lot of conflicting reports right now (as of midnight in Bangkok). PM Abhisit was just on the TV saying that demonstrators used guns and bombs to incite the violence. The 'red shirt' protesters fought back the combined army police riot officers at several locations and held their ground

The Bangkok Post is reporting 9 dead. And, "at least 100 soldiers were reportedly wounded."
For the complete article see: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/loca...alks-for-truce

Early this afternoon I walked from Silom over to Siam, and then followed a moving crowd of 'red shirt' guards up to Phloenchit. I was at the Phloenchit BTS Station at about 3:00pm when I saw and photographed a lot of pushing and posturing at one point by both sides, but then the police riot brigade pulled back and regrouped. Generally, it felt half serious as there were more than a few smiles. But it was very hot, the police were getting tired in their riot gear, and the brass were looking on. The 'red shirts' were not giving an inch. Sounds like the order was given by the Police and Army to kick some ass a little later on.

Along Phloenchit, there was a helicopter hovering overhead and an unmanned drone with a VDO cam. The drone got a lot of attention!

I ran out of memory space for my cameras, and the BTS was closed, so I walked up to Sukhumvit Soi 7 and caught a taxi up to Soi 22. Tired and hot from the day, I went for a massage at a Washington Square shop called Wonderful Massage (next to Sazanka). The little gal there gave me a nice shower, a good back rub, and then screwed my tired brains out. She told me it was her first day and I was her first customer! OK, it worked for me.

After the massage, I stopped by the Bourbon Street restaurant for a tasty plate of fajitas and a couple of Beer Laos. The food was great!

I saw pickup truck loads of red shirts heading back down Sukhumvit when I caught a taxi home to Silom. I stopped in Patpong for a beer and to collect my GF, (she was playing dominoes for money all day). I also poked my head in the Safari Bar to say hello to a dancer there. Looked like business as usual in Patpong tonight.

Flew in from Dubai yesterday where I was working, and stopped off in Thailand for some sun & fun. I'll be spending 4 days in Bangkok, then going to Pattaya Beach for 5 days, before returning to the USA. Also, I know I am just diving in a few days and don't want to disturb the economic system that is in place, so let me know if my payments for services need to be refined. I do bargain and don't pay the initial asking price for services, but let me know if I'm off-base. I was using prices I found in this forum as my base of knowledge.

Started out last night early, went to Nana and it was dead! I was worried thinking that maybe the demonstrations had something to do with it, but then someone mentioned the Thai New Year is coming up and that's why it was empty. Everyone going home, so now I was pissed!

Headed to Soi Cowboy and was relieved. It was packed! My plan was to start off slow and relaxed, check out a few places, have a couple of beers, and just get situated. Started the night at Tilac Bar. And my plan eroded at first contact. Ended up bar-fining 2 hotties and went to the end of the street to a short time hotel that charged me 400 Baht (300 for the room and 100 extra guest charge for the extra girl). Girls were excellent service providers: Short time was 1000 Baht for each; both were interactive with me and themselves at all times, tried multiple positions. After finishing with one of the girls, they requested that we go again, and I finish with the other girl. I guess to just be fair. After we were done, we showered up and dropped the girls back at Tilac. I headed to the next place.

So now that I hand unloaded my gun, I though I could take the rest of the night at a relaxed pace. Until I walked into Baccara. The girls here seamed hotter than the girls in Tilac! I like the "naughty & nice" black and white outfits, so I decided I need one naughty girl and one nice girl to balance my time out. I started the evening with 2, so I guess I was just not satisfied going with one beauty at this place.

I also found the dance stage pretty cool (and packed), with it's see-through floor above it on the 2nd floor. I hooked up with 2 hotties here, bar-fined them both (600 Baht) and headed to the end of the street to get a cab back to my hotel. I stay at the Sheraton Grand Sukhumvit, kinda pricey, but because it's a great hotel, I'm a SPG Platinum member and it has a great "back-door" entrance that let's you skip the lobby when coming back with guests, and preventing the "walk of shame. " I ended up hanging out with both Long time for 2000 Baht each and they spent the night. Again, good service providers, finished with both, both last night and this morning. I gave each a 500 Baht tip.

So my run down of the evening cost me around 12, 000 Baht for beers, girl's drinks, barfines, girls, taxis and short time room. I have spent more than that in one dinner in Dubai.

OK, so now that I have it out of my system. Tonight I'll try to keep a more relaxed and slower pace. Does anyone have any suggestions for places I can try tonight? I'm going to chill-out pool-side this afternoon, buy some jewelry early evening, then go out again tonight. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A very good updated report.

Q, re your barfines in Baccara, was it 600 bht for both, or for each?

The reason I am asking this time, last year it was 600 bht bar fine plus 2000 bht short time, or 4000 bht L/T.

Many of the girls there were only interested in short time at 2000bht.

I wonder in Lilac if the 2 girls accepted 2000 for both /st, as it was a double booking?

In nana and soi cow boy this time last year, it was 2000 st or 4000 lt for each girl + the bar fine.

How about prices for lady drinks?

Your report very handy for me on prices, as I am landing there in 2 weeks time.

[Blkanjil]

Thanks for this report. Looks like the prices in BKK habe become more reasonable again. Or is the LT price of 3500 Bht, of which I sometimes read, restricted to Nana?

Regards, Frimu

Not sure about Nana, when I went there it was dead, so I moved on to Soi Cowboy. I paid a LT charge of 2000 baht. They started at 3000, but worked it to 2000 after I told them I wouldn't bar fine them and started staring off, doing the "GoGo Bar search" looking for other girls.

I'll make another go at Nana tonight, but I think with the military crack-down that's going on today, everywhere might be dead.

[Blkanjil]

And yet the subject generated quite a few responses, while your 1 riveting post regarding the fact that you took some girls out of tilac and baccara contained no information that was of much use to anybody and has generated no responses.

LOL. Looks like your skin is thin, I'll go easy on you. I just joined the forum yesterday, so I'm a nOOb, and haven't posted 100+ like yourself, but give me time.

I wasn't really looking for any feed back on my night last night, that's in the past, been there, done that. I was looking for suggestions for tonight, but evidently you are a little too caught up in your self-invoked bar-girl drama to offer any suggestions, I hope it works out for you. I guess I'll just reload the baht gun and "Cowboy up" again tonight. Gittyup!

The Sky Train has closed down, since more than two hours already.

Major accumulations of police around Ploenchit, army in Sri Ayutthaya.

Lots of rumours about a possible crackdown of the demonstrations.

Giotto

Thank you, Giotto.

Your update is good to me since I will arrive BKK in two weeks.

[Amjeck]

The one thing that surprises me the most is that they absolutely LOVE old men, I can't figure out why but everytime I have meetings with old Farangs, you see them all whispering and some ask afterwards who the man was...

Maybe its because they know they are undesirable to younger men. Lets face it, a thai girl over 25yo, especially married or with kids is not in high demand, and pretty much past her prime. They know that the older nicer guys are the only ones they have a shot with.

I agree, older foreign men can clean this market up if they desire.

Now some of these girls are married, with kids, but they still love sex and especially with Foreigners because they are sure it will not develop into something serious. Their husbands fuck around, they know it and don't care, they do the same.

When asked why they like old men, to them it is nothing wrong, they just want a man that is nice and treat them well.
So to all you old Farts out there... Thai Ladies are waiting for you!! Get your asses over here.

Sounds like I need to let my hair go back to white and then come over to your office for a lunch meeting.

I turned 66 in January. I'll be back in October. Wish I could get there sooner.

[Giotto]

G,
You tried this nonsense eighteen months ago. Moronic buffalo will be down your way anytime soon . Nothing worse than backing a loser .

Terry Terrier,

I try to understand what you want to tell me, but my buffalo brain doesn't get it.

Anyway - it's fucking hot here .

[NicFrenchy]

Ahh, silly me, I thought the French were the only romantics left.

We are.. just not with hookers LOL
Ok I am joking, but falling in love with a WG? mmmm, no thanks

[Blkanjil]

I don't think I'm trying to convince anyone. If anything, I think I probably should cut it off.

Yes I am thinking about the girl too much. I said I'm doing OK so far because I'm not doing anything stupid like buying jewelry or a house in Isaan or thinking about marriage. I'm not even tipping the girl. I met her in early January and I went the entire month of February without seeing her. I currently haven't seen her in about 2 weeks, my choice. I'm not even suggesting I try to start a real romantic relationship with her. I'm just thinking about her too much.

My query was whether I should continue seeing the girl as a regular or cut it off. Cutting it off would suck b/c she's a great time at a reduced cost. Keeping her risks getting overly entangled.

I'm curious how other people manage their long-term regulars.

I'm new to this forum, but shouldn't these posts belong in the "Thai Women and Relationships" section? I come to the "Bangkok Reports" section for reports on Bangkok, not some guy that can't manage his heart and *****s.
