Hi Folks!

Is Oakwood hotel sukhumvit 11 girl friendly? Would appreciate your suggestions.

Cheers!

Queen of Pattaya vid released yesterday of Dozo massage.

Pretty Girl. Nice face and looks like nice body. Light skin. I was shocked, might try. Hahaha.

For several winters I lived about 1/2 way up Soi 8 on opposite side from Soi 11 and never really had a long wait for Bolt. But this Soi has less vehicles and travel congestion overall. However, Soi 11 is filled with hotels, nightlife, and various restaurants and bars. It seems crowded all the time, which may explain your issues with taxis etc. My understanding is most tuk tuk are reluctant to enter Sukhumvit due to traffic. I know on Soi 8 that the apartment and hotel tuktuks will only take you to the end of Soi 8. Then you are on your own. I would recommend for your next visit to try to find a hotel or apartment on less congested Sois in the area. Or walk down to beginning of Soi 11 at the 7/11 and hail a Bolt from there.

I am coming this winter so can't comment directly on the various methods Thais are using to make up for their Covid losses. But traditionally, they are generally shortsighted about how they treat the farang.

If staying at the end of Soi 11, a walk to the Makkasan ARL is only 15-20 minutes. Going to Nana, then onto BTS will take longer, cost more, with a transfer to MRT and the waiting. Probably 25 minutes to arrive at Phetchaburi and then walk 5 minutes more to Makkasan. You are very near the ARL to the airport if you decide to walk from the back end of Soi 11. Even shorter if you know how to cut through the various hotels. Taxis have to take a longer driving route because of the roads. Just MAP IT and walk it.

Staying at the end of Sukhumvit 11. I couldn't get a single Bolt taxi to come here. It's a 21 minutes' wait regardless of the time of day, then after 10 minutes the ride gets cancelled and a new search shows a 30 minutes' wait with a price five times as high.

Not sure if you heard but there was a recent crackdown on improperly licensed Bolt drivers which may explain the ride shortage. I found Bolt to be limited availability with long wait times of 10 minutes in Bangkok even before this crackdown. Even longer near Sukhumvit. I ended paying 3-4 x more for Grab in almost all cases.

Sounds like you've had a terrible first 2 days. You'll meet a hot chick tonight and it'll all turn around for you!

There's beautiful women all over BKK that are regular civvie non-working girls. Good luck getting them for dating. The dating game seems dead in Thailand for farangs.

I've always said if you're unable to pick up civvy girls in your home country or along the beaches in Ibiza then what makes you think a Thai girl wants to date you for free? Those days of 19 year old Thai girls truly falling for non Thai visitors over 35 passed 25+ years ago.

Never seen so many Hot Girls in one General area in my life. No it's not Soi 6.

Thaniya is fully staffed and then some. Lots of Pretty Girls.

Unfortunately few customers as always.

It's a 21 minutes' wait regardless of the time of day, then after 10 minutes the ride gets cancelled and a new search shows a 30 minutes' wait with a price five times as high. Not a single meter taxi accepted to use the meter. I bargained down one of them to 100 baht to go to the Makkasan Airport Link. The bastard dropped me in the middle of nowhere (a fish market). I had to pay 350 to a tuk-tuk to get me out of there.

The hotel was supposed to have a shuttle to Nana BTS but surprise surprise, the shuttle is out of order. The hotel has a "transport service" but this service is only adding a further scamming layer (they wanted 2500 Baht for a death trap minivan ride to Hua-Hin). I can get the same death trap minivan at Ekkamai for one tenth of this. I'll have to drag my luggage to Nana, then on the BTS though.

Bought two boxes of Kamagra on Sukhumvit, one box was empty. Red curry shrimp near Nana Plaza, I got 4 shrimps in a sauce, no vegetables whatsoever, a joke, plus a hefty service charge on the bill.

Good Heavens what a shit hole of liars and crooks this city has become (or always was?). I've been here two days and I can't wait to get out.

It's also alive and well for those over 35, though your chances go way down with women of more than 15-20 years age difference. If you are 55 and she is 40, age is not a problem.

I'm mid-50's and have no interest in women 40 or over.

If your under 35 the scene is alive and well.

They just aren't available to our Demographic.

Don't fool yourselves they are available to the Military Generals, Politicians, etc.

Thai society is just rife with Girls who sell themselves. Girls who are unable to partake wish they could.

[Giannis Gianni]

Hot chicks on BTS is like finding a Gem in Soi 6.

Go to Emporium. Identify 5 Hot Chicks. I guarantee none will be riding the BTS to their final destination.

Oops. I meant to say Paragon.

Well said 11 Bravo. So true. Every time I am in the BTS and seeing beautiful hot chicks inside. 9 out of 10 DON'T get off at Nana or Asok!

Bangkok is full of beautiful girls.

I am doing research for my trip. Anyone knows a few OnlyFans Thais that use OF to promote themselves as escorts?

There must be rules against that. Several OF Thai girls are upfront about not even asking about meeting.
