Bangkok - Places to AVOID!

[AussieDoug]

I want to go waxing but I never tried before, can you share your experience? What happens? What service? Price? Location? Thanks

Well I guess I sort of tried it. I was walking around Sukhumvit and saw an advert for full body waxing in Soi 24, so off I go. The beauty parlour was on Soi 24 on the right just behind the Emporium, set back a little from the road, forgot the name. Was handled by two ladies who gave me their phone numbers and offered to do in my hotel room next time. They were clearly learning and it was not a true job, but it was fun. Trick is to get all the hair off your dick, if it returns as stubble it cuts the hell out of the girls' pussy, and they don't like it one bit.

My cell phone died while I was in Bangkok and I was in need of a replacement to carry me through my last ten days in town.

I made my way to the MBK Center, which is easily reached by the BTS. It's literally connected to the National Stadium station (W-1). The MBK's fourth floor features dozens upon dozens of little stalls selling every conceivable type of personal digital device. No matter what you want in a cell phone, you can find it here. They literally have EVERYTHING.

I was in the market for something cheap cheap. And in the world of unlocked GSM phones there are few cheaper than the Nokia 1280. After haggling at several stalls I found the best deal at NID TELECOM, which is not far from the fourth floor food court. I paid 690 baht, they transferred my old SIM card to the new phone and all was well.

Later that evening I was working my way through the phone's setup menu. The user manual that came in the box is truly awful and online information is scarce as well. Somehow I managed to block outgoing calls. DOH!

The following day I returned to NID TELECOM and asked for help. The ladies behind the counter ignored me while waiting on Thai customers. I patiently waited, and finally a guy looked at the phone for 30 seconds and declared that they could do nothing. He dispatched me to a place called Telewiz on the first floor. Turns out that's where people who have monthly cell phone billing can go to pay their bills. Obviously not a place for technical help.

Back up to NID TELECOM I waited again to talk to the guy. This time he decided my SIM card was bad. I was sceptical, but a new one was only 50 baht so WTF? Problem is the old SIM card had 1200 baht on it. Could that be transferred to the new card? Yes, the guy promised, the folks at Telewiz can do no problem. Down to Telewiz for a second time, where I learn credit cannot be transferred between SIM cards. So on my way back to the hotel I buy a 100 baht top off at the 7-11.

Guess what? Despite the new SIM card the phone still won't call out. FUCK!

Returned the following day to NID TELECOM and eventually worked my way up to the Boss Lady. I know from reading the collected wisdom here that in Thailand it never pays to show irritation, so as calmly and politely as I could I explained the new SIM card had not solved the problem. Clearly there is something wrong with the phone, I said. Can you pretty please take a look at it?

Her response: "You go!"

As my British friends say: What a sour-faced tosser!

I wandered around the fourth floor for the next 20 minutes looking for a stall where they looked like they knew what they were doing. Finally, tucked way back in a corner I found a tiny little establishment called FRIEND PHONE at stall A-46. It was staffed by three 20-something guys. They weren't selling fashionable cell phone cases. They weren't flirting with the girls. Instead they were hunched over a variety of well-used electronic equipment and a couple of ancient battered laptops.

The guy I dealt with spoke very little English. But he understood "Call in OK. Call out no good." He took the phone and worked his way through the menus for about 60 seconds, then asked "OK reset?" Sure, I said, reset whatever you like. Thirty seconds later he gestured for me to watch him dial my phone, while pointing as his phone on the counter. SUCCESS! I called my voice mail back home. SUCCESS AGAIN.

Finally, I asked him if he would mind installing the original SIM card because it has far more credit on it than the SIM card I had bought the day before. He had a neat little homemade tool that made short work of this task.

"Thank you so very much, I gushed. What do I owe you?" He waved me away. But I insisted on pressing 100 baht into his hand.

So if your phone is acting up *AVOID* NID TELECOM AT ALL COSTS.

Instead, go see the guys at FRIEND PHONE, stall A-46.

There was a gogo in Phuket, in Patong Beach area, which advertised pussy show, darts, ping pong etc. The place was always full. Once you were in they charged you $10 for a drink. There was never any show. Girls just stood there holding a pole. They'd been in business a long time. Maybe still are. I don't remember the name. Don't underestimate the fear and greed factor. We all know how much Thais care about what farang thinks.

It is still there. Avoid that and the Russian dancers.

IMHO these places are all bark and no bite. They are in the business of intimidating and scamming impressionable people, not in the business of beating people up.

Think about it, that's what they do day in, day out. That means a few foreigners each night will come in. Maybe 5. Maybe 10. Maybe 20. That's tens or hundreds of foreigners a month. How many foreigners do you think they can actually beat up before getting in big trouble with the authorities? Do you think the police or the tourism bureau wants foreigners beaten up on a daily basis? How many times can an ambulance and the cops be called to a venue before it gets shut down?

I've been in a similar situation twice (once in China, once in Thailand) and I just walked out. Nobody tried anything physical. They are more frightened than you are. They put on a tough act but they aren't stupid.

Thanks but kangaroo girls ugly and they not make public sex, they use rooms and I not like it my favourite SOL in patpong area

Maybe not the norm, but my last time I was on the stool at the end of the bar and she pulled it out and started sucking. I actually asked to go to the front room. But, I like SOL better also.

. And I know it may not be the right thread, but since there is some talk about genitals shaving.

How long does it take to grow again? Reason is the missuss will surely be surprised on my return if she sees a baby skin there.

It takes awhile and she will notice. The thing I like about shaving is it makes my small Dick look bigger.

Hi why not shave your self at home and than get a waxing during your stay. So there is no surprise back home you might want to shave a little before leaving so that the assumption you do it for for your trip does not come up.

[BionicMan]

Why not go for a brazilain wax, plenty of beauty shops offering that to the girls now and would do for men also. No blades, and no stubble after a few days.

Talked about it with a girl I had, seems to last longer, seems to be perfect but seems also a bit painful (nothing dramatic)

Well. It will take quite some time. I put myself the same question, LOL. As the main job was done I have done myself a "front cleaning" after some 4-5 weeks. Past one month after that it is like a 3-4 days of unshaven face. So I would say the shave cannot be unnoticed, unless you see your missus after 6 months, LOL.

The job done at the MP was very detailed and did not left and area unattended, front and back.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place my question but I'm looking for a place where I can relax and they shave my genitals. They should know what they are doing because I do like my dick without cuts.

Thd more appropriate place is not this forum as what you are asking is not a place to avoid. I get my shave at the MP inside Nana Hotel. Go past reception, the lifts, then to your left. 500b can do the shave. Clarify you want shave down or they let you accommodate on the barber chairs. No food for that job, especially if you are shy. There is a couple of not on their prime, doing the job very well and carefully. Your willy will not be damaged and you will still keep your nuts fully operative after that. You will not even feel the blade doing the job. You will have a baby skin after that. But apparently no extra. At least I did not ask for. There was a report on the BKK forum you can eventually ask for the services of a young lady but that will cost you an additional massage fee and in return you will get a HE and if lucky some rimming. The rule of that MP is nothing more than that. No BJ or more is allowed.

Please report back to add your experience.
