2006 Bangkok Reports

[Retired Army]

Don't forget that you have to also claim your baggage before heading to the domestic termainal.

[Crypton]

When in Singapore, I decided to hop over to Bangkok for two nights. As a lot of the FR’s here mention PatPhong, I went there at my first night.

I’m used to the Jakarta scene and am not used to the aggressive approach of the male and female touts outside the clubs and bars. Decided to have a look first in the street. BTW it was the street with the market, with all the fake watches, pens, bags etc.

After my round, I entered a place with the girls dancing on the bar. They looked rather annoyed, I’d say. Asked a man next to me what it’s all about. Well, if you feel like it you could choose a girl from up there and might be able to have fun with her. While he was telling me this a older woman (not girl!) came and sat next to me. She introduced herself, Lily, and asked whether she could have a coke. I said ok and asked for the bill at the same time, because I’ve seen enough in there. Lily then asked if she could get a tip. I said: Why? Well, she said, for accompanying you. I couldn’t believe that, so I said, that she was hardly there and what’s more important, I didn’t ask her to accompany me.

Next, I was to find out about the pussyshows. For those who are not familiar with it, the girl(s) will smoke, open a bottle etc, etc with their pussy.

“Have a look for free and no covercharge!” So I went into a place called Pen & House. A waitress approached me and asked whether I would like to have a drink. I ordered a beer and watched what was going on on the dark (!) stage. There was one bare pussy and four girls dancing in the background.

Coincidence or not, right after I took my first gulp of the beer, the bill for the beer came. 400 baht! I asked about the, in my eyes, ridiculous price. She said: for the beer and the show. I said that I’m there for a quick look to see if the show is worth it to stay for. I’m happy to pay for a normal price of the beer, but it is ridiculous to ask that much. Oh, yes, I paid with a 500 baht bill and the waitress claimed the rest to be her tip. I lost my temper but could control myself in time so I left. On my way out I tried to warn a couple of guests who were entering, but apparently the touts were more convincing.

I said at the beginning, that I found the approach of the touts as being very aggressive. I would ad, beware of being conned. If you plan to make a survey first before deciding which place is the best to enjoy, don’t order a drink, especially not in Pen & House (or is it the same in all those places?).

It is widely known that Patpong is a ripoff and a major tourist trap. The golden age of Patpong (1960s?) is long past and hardly anyone (other than first time tourists) go there. Moreover, it is even better known that the upstairs bars (ones with the shows) are an even bigger ripoff. They pad your bill (and get raided often). Which is why one needs to do their homework (i.e., RTFF) before heading to a new place.

There are lots of good bars in Patpong but if you don't know your way around they are difficult to find, even if you know the name of the bar! The wretched market gets in the way of everything.

I would agree with Terry Terrier that the King's group of bars are a reasonably safe bet and there are so many of them that anyone would be able to find them.

A good rule to stick to in Patpong if you dont know your way around is to never enter a bar which requires you climbing a set of stairs. If the stairs have a carpet even more so.

[Meaty]

Tried to help answer your question which you posted in the Travel And Announcements section yesterday, now you've posted the same question in this thread today ?
Mind you, i need to be careful about complaining about posting the same thing in more than one thread

[Terry Terrier]

About Patpong

It's been said many times: Stick to the Kings Castle group if you want to see a show.

The inter-terminal buses can be unreliable. There is a covered walkway linking International to Domestic on the first (second in US terminology) floor. It's no more than a ten minute walk. If your flight/baggage is not delayed you should be fine. The Air Asia desks are at the far end of the main row. Their flights are usually delayed, anyway.

Mostly the same. Also a lot will walk around and ask for 100 baht after each act, this may even be the case if you are sitting speaking with a lady and not watching. As for the issue with the girl who wanted a tip that is a bit rough. The girl gets a cut of the drink and if you weren't holding her up then it wasn't if she was loosing tip money, but you have to get strong and tell girls you don't want to nick off in a nice way though as they are only trying to do their job.

[Dinghy]

boy toy - you get in term 1 - domestic is a bit farther down the road - there is a shuttle bus between internat and domestic. dpeending on where you sit - you might make it - if you can get off fast and (with immigration paper previously filled out ) make it to immigration, then claim bags and thru customs - out to the kerb and catch the shuttle. they announce domestic - it's about 300m or so down the road so walkable but you are short on time. maybe close,

mentang - it's better in soi cowboy(off soi 20 sukhumvit) patpong always impressed me as a newbie trap (not to say that you won't get taken in cowboy - but it's bit more difficult ) rember - bohica bend over here it comes again

Dear Frends,

I have booked an airasia flight to phuklet from Bangkok departing at 1555 , prior to that I am reaching there from Hong kong at 1400 on the same day, leaving me with only 1 hour 55 minutes for everything, my query is-

1) will the air asia , flight for phuket leave from the same terminal as the one where i arrive from Hong kong? if no, then what is the fastest way to reach the other terminal? i have heard they have free shuttle service.

2) is one hour fifty five minutes enough for immigrtaion, customs, going for one terminal to another and reaching the air asia counter at least one hr before take off?

Hope it is not a close call.

please advise.

thanks

BT

I came in to stay only for two days in BKK, and got a room at Majestic Grande. With this tight schedule, too many places to see in such short time, I crossed the street to get a relaxing massage. Walking up the stairs, I was followed by a hurdle of girls rushing into the bowl to get on display.

I asked mamasan for a recommendation, and she said that #69 had been without customers that day. Even though she was not the best pick in the crowd, I was hoping for more enthusiasm from her than from any of the others.

Turned out to be a very good GFE. Soapy, chatting relaxingly, joking, a good foreplay.
BJ = 6/10, FJ = 7/10, GFE = 9/10.

After finishing a CIF, she completed the remaining time I had with massaging, even squeezing a black spot (pimple) here and there!

No tragic histories told, all in all a great relaxing time.

wish i could join you - what an itinerary. reminds me of my early days going on "darkside of dubai" tours with mates. with your plan, i think i'd be shagged by lunchtime!

[CodeWord901]'s is relaxed and fun - 700 bj 1100fs (i thought i'd posted my report here).

suzy wong's - great. picked up a big-breasted beautiful but bad bonk (bbbbbb) gal from there, or ended up there with her later - really can't remember any more.

my fave is still the pretty and gf-ish nam from beergarten.

have fun

cheers

giffy,

My post was done tongue-in-cheek - I just forgot to append the smiley. But you probably knew that.

Still, I *was* referring to the recent demonstrations, and I've personally seen nothing out of the ordinary in my daily and nightly activities. I suspect you would find a similar experience.

This past week, however, I've been in Langkawi, KL, and now Singapore. Unfortunately, I've been on a busy work schedule, so haven't seen or done anything outside of work... plan to rectify that tomorrow night, though.

Cheers,

Appreciated very much for your update Nonetheless, I still need to be extra alert on any unusual activities which may upset my friend on the 1st visit to Bangkok with my invitation since there were so many articles on foreign papers suggested otherwise......

PM me if you have any special contacts ! Thanks in Advance !!!

[Yi Ren]

you probably misunderstood what i meant as i was refering to recent political demonstration lately and not about how safe Bangkok is in general considering I have been staying in bangkok for a long period of time !! I am just concerned about the situation right now as my last visit was in early January this year !! Nonetheless, thaks for your tips....thanks
