Bangkok Reports

[Mouse1]

As a Bangkok resident let me just add my 2 cents. Paying more than 250 baht at just about any time of day to get to Sukhumvit from the airport is unnecessary. Paying 500 by Thai standards is absolutely ludicrous and just furthers the impression that all farangs are walking ATM's. You get a taxi, you tell him to turn on the meter, if he doesn't, you politely tell him to stop and you get another taxi, very simple. For a very short distance nearby, you will pay 40-50 baht, for 100 baht you can pretty much go halfway across Bangkok. I take meter taxis and 99. 9% of the time the guy knows the city and gets me to the destination as fast as possible. You don't get there faster by paying more.

If you are a BKK resident and speak some Thai, then this is probably correct. However as a newly arriving passenger fresh off the aeroplane this can be difficult. It's all very well telling him to stop and getting out, but you could be a few hundred metres down the freeway with your bags by then.

As has been said many times, probably the best deal is to go up to Departures and grab a cab that has just dropped a passenger. I always say '300Bht, expressway' and that gets me to my destination fine. Last time I requested 'meter', the driver was low on gas and asked if he could drive to a gas station nearby. I obviously agreed, but thought he would have the decency to turn off his meter, but this is Thailand. Couldn't be bothered to argue, but I did turn down his request for a tip at the end.

Does anyone know a good soapie near Soi 3 Sukhumvit? I know, I know RTFF but give an old guy a break! .

Annie's is right near there. I usually stay at JW Marriott (soi 2) and it is literally down the road.

Google for Annie's Bangkok.

After months of useless babbling chit-chat dialog on this forum I thought I

Would (hopefully) add some useful new observations from a first timer to BKK...

And by the way. 99. 9% of the girls in Insomnia are pros. You may get one for free, but they are all pros nevertheless. Happy hunting.

Cross the road and enter Soi 4, walk past Nana parking, keep on walking for 100 meters till, to your right there is an opening to a road access. Enter it, walk for 50 meters to the other end, watch at the last bar on the left with a red sign reading "Annie's Soap Massage". Step in one fly of stairs and a fishbowl is at your right with another room with sideline girls.

Mamasan will eventually help you I'm the choice.

What she might not tell you is that once in the room you have to strip naked.

Strongly recommended for a good soapie as it works better.

Does this help?

No doubt he is the same dude who posts ridiculous questions on another site. He has at least 3 accounts there.

Sorry but I never wrote on any other site. I don't know what are you telling. How I told in my former post I have been many times in Cambodia and I already posted my experience there (and also in madrid.). It is true I already asked some things about BKK bec I planned to go there last year but at the end I couldn't go and so now I am going for my first yime there. Sorry if somebody felt upset for my post but it wasn't my idea to hurt somebody. Surely iwill post my experience after my trip there.

There are many fish balls in BK and I have been in many of them. Last time I was in BK, I was in a few bigg places, that was far from Sukomwit area. It was almost entirely Asian customers there. And the prices were relatively low. Does anyone have any favorite places where there are beautiful women on an equal footing with the more expensive places?

I am also very interested in Eastern European women. Does anyone have any phone numbers, and locations where these ladies is to share with me?

I am also interested in how EE ladies do business around the Pathaya.

"Fish Balls" I guess you mean "fish bowls".

Try the BKK Massage Thread.

For good East European women, try the Germany FKK thread.

Pl don't call him "dreams". The real one is. Me. Hopefully, more credible.

OK, sorry man.

Bar-fined a mature girl (clearly over 20) N1 in Sheba's (Soi Cowboy) , but the one with the hottest body below the waist (tits only A). Also enjoyed the shows (lesbian, oil, soap suds, etc.) and a very young looking one was the best dancer and quite cute, so bought her a drink or two also. Turned out both girls were close friends. N1 urged me to take the young one N2 also. Found out N2 was 18. I was given a guarantee that N2 was a fantastically good fuck. N1 and N2 had been together before. Eventually I agreed.

Wasn't disappointed. N2 had a slightly bigger build than N1 and perfect sized pussy for me. She relaxed and opended very wide. Both responded well to DATY but N2 may have faked it seeming to come rather too quick. Extremely enjoyable session. Its hard to beat the feeling of screwing one girl while the other is licking your balls, or BBBJ with same time ball-licking.

For duos, pick girls not too shy and interact with each other well, e. G. Lesbian show performers that also dance well are best bets.

I use N1 and N2 because most Thai girl names start with N. Nit, Noi, Nok, Ning, Noot, Nut, Nat, Nong, Nuan, Nan, Naam, Noon, Nom, etc.

Thanks for your interesting and often funny (!) insights. First trip, first lessons. Some useful, some not.

1) At the airport go to the top floor and catch a taxi that has just dropped someone off. Don't go with the first guy who is out of his cab barking for riders. Find one where the people are just getting out. Don't get in the cab, but tell the driver where you want to go, and say "meter?" Only take a meter taxi. Once underway, the driver will ask you,"motorway?" Say yes, as it's quicker (+ 70 baht). If you arrive in the later evening and are heading for Sukhumvit you can skip the motorway to save on the toll. The non-motorway trip to lower Sukhumvit should only cost +- 200 baht.

Another airport taxi tip: if you take the expressway in to Bangkok, check the meter as the cab reaches the *first* toll booth. The fare should read around 141 Baht. (Sometimes 139 or 143 but rarely). If it's anything more than 141, the meter is rigged. Remember the distance is exactly the same every time, so the fare should be the same. Many of the taxis that work the 'official' taxi rank on the ground floor seem to have rigged meters these days. It's usually only +10% or 20% so most arriving passengers wouldn't notice.

Hi,

I'll be next month in BKK for my first ime after having been many times in Cambodia.

Can you advise me wich is the right price for having fun with ladies in BKK? How much for ST and LT?

Thank you guys

I was surprised that someone with 26 posts was asking such a dumb question.

Then I looked at your other 25 posts. Now I understand.

My advice is to contribute a little and you will get a better response (even for dumb questions).

Bangkok warmly welcomes people who throw money around with open arms. You seem to catch on quickly, but you're on a fairly steep learning curve if you've previously not been to the City of Angels. No worries, though, as it's only (your) money. By your 5th or 6th trip you may want to save a few baht. It's part of the Thai game to be smart with your money.

Without getting into the minutia of your trip report, I will say that your take on Bangkok taxis is not quite right. However, it takes more than one trip to figure this out, and a knowledge of the cityscape and speaking a little Thai helps a lot. There are many more accurate tips on Bangkok taxis on this forum, unfortunately they are not that easy to find. For example:

1) At the airport go to the top floor and catch a taxi that has just dropped someone off. Don't go with the first guy who is out of his cab barking for riders. Find one where the people are just getting out. Don't get in the cab, but tell the driver where you want to go, and say "meter?" Only take a meter taxi. Once underway, the driver will ask you,"motorway?" Say yes, as it's quicker (+ 70 baht). If you arrive in the later evening and are heading for Sukhumvit you can skip the motorway to save on the toll. The non-motorway trip to lower Sukhumvit should only cost +- 200 baht.

2) Never take a taxi that is parked outside a hotel or attraction. These are the ones that charge more and often scam people.

3) Always ask "meter," before you get in a taxi? It is quite rare that a driver will purposely get stalled in traffic, or drive around, to add to the cost.

There's a lot more that I could add, but part of the fun of visiting Bangkok is figuring it all out.

Did you go to Pattaya? Chok dee! .

Very good tips from the very experienced Fon Tok. One of those is amazingly important. Never waste your time talking to a taxi driver that has possibly been parked for some time. It is always going to go badly, virtually without exception. These drivers are rip off guys. I am sometimes amazed to see a Thai person actually ask them (and get knocked back of course). I don't bother to speak to them at all. Often they are looking only for certain destinations or shoppers and will always cost too much. Always grab a taxi just passing or just arrived dropping off other customers, as Fon Tok says! This applies to almost anywhere you catch a taxi, e.g. outside hotels, discos, bars, etc. Same applies to Tuk Tuks, however mostly forget about Tuk Tuks altogether. Only motorcycle rides should be taken from the standard parked area.

I too have experienced the very occasional circumnavigation of Bangkok with an extremely indirect route using fast flowing freeways, even though I speak Thai, and was carrying GPS and knew the correct route well. Everyone gets burned sometime. I was too busy chatting to the girl to pay attention to the route at first.
