2006 Bangkok Reports

[Phantomtiger2]

Soi 0 was dead daytime last time I visited last year, also Gulliv. tavern was dead during the daytime (about 1pm) as I was later informed this place dont start with action later in evening. But best to check yourselve as all these places are walking distance so things might change.

Let's have some opinions from our members about the best day time pick up bars in Bangkok. I am not talking about eden, massage parlours, lolittas etc but regular bars such as beergarden Sukhumvit Soi 7 (the obvious example).

My favourite is morning night bar (entrance to Nana Plaza, soi 4) though I seem to be too well known there these days so am looking for fresh hunting ground.

Can anyone make any suggestions? For instance how is Soi 0 these days in the daytime?

Have you tried Gulliver's Tavern on Soi 5? Don't you have to pay bar fine in Morning Night bar? No BF in Gullivers - just FLs who sometimes move back and forth from Beer Garden.

However, she is interested in a threesome with another women... Does anyone have any suggestions?

NEP or Angels or CM2 are foolproof hunting grounds for this.

Actually, Patpong is probably good for this as Farang lesbos often hunt there.

I will be traveling to Bangkok in late August. I will be with a new girl ( I know, why take steak to a BBQ) However, she is interested in a threesome with another women. (: Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Gents,

I travel in and out of Bangkok from Korea and the forum has been of great help. Thanks for all those great reports.

I have talked to several Thai Ladies about their value for a month of services in Korea with me. It is truly amazing the differences in pricing between ladies. Yeap many variables to consider; young vs old or pretty vs so so all come into play when getting a price.

What are the thoughts of the Bangkok residents on a monthly fee for Korea?

Songkran does not seem to be the best period to hunt in the bars and gogos in Thailand. You have to wait one or two weeks when they will be back... short of cash.

You won't have to wait that long. Most go-go staff have to pay their own bar-fines for each day they're back in the village and not working.

Within a few days all will return to normal.

Since I'm based in BKK, I travel in and out quite often - sometimes multiple times per week... before I knew better, I'd stand in the queue 15-20 minutes on a bad day. Now I go upstairs to catch a taxi, save time and money and the best part is I can pick the one I want. It's suprising to me how raunchy some of the ones in the queue are.

I often see a number of taxis hanging out upstairs, but have never seen them hassled - In fact, when I returned yesterday afternoon, one of parking police noticed me walking out with my luggage and stopped a taxi and pointed to me to get picked up.

Ofcourse the parking 'police' staff will help you get in a taxi on departure level because the taxi driver pays them 20 THB when they pick up pax!

Retired Army,

You might be right, all I can say is, that all my Thai friends only refer to Ratchadaphisek as Ratchada, but Ratchadamri, Ratchadamnoen, Ratchadamnoen Nai, Ratchadamnoen Nok, Ratchadaphisek in Thonburi (yes, extensions of Rama III at both ends have the same name) and others are always referred to with their complete name. All taxi drivers - I just stayed at the Grand Hotel opposite Poseidon - new immidiately which street I was talking about.

Anyway, it's unimportant. Yes you were right, I meant Ratchadaphisek.

I'm with Coma Boy and the Traveler on this one. Retired Army maybe just getting a bit too technical.

I speak Thai and know that Ratcha- prefix (without the da) means "of the King" or "Royal" Ratchada is a generally accepted loose abbreviation for the district ajoining this road (Ratchadaphisek) around the mentioned district HuayKhwang/Suttisarn and possibly up to LatPhrao road (not precisely sure of bounds) although abbrev not appearing on all maps.

Thai roads seem to have multiple names in some places and change name from district to district, e. G. Soi Asoke is also known as Asoke Road and as Ratchadaphisek Road.

Ratchadaphisek Road almost completes a full loop around Bangkok but has name changes in certain districts. E. G. "Soi Asoke" between Sukhumwit and Phetchburi Tat Mai, also Rama III, Maha Sawan, also joins to Wong Sawang and CHaroen Sanit Wong roads as part of the loop, and crosses Rama VII and Rama III bridges in the loop.

Attemping to include map snapshot with "Buses" marking the loop circuit.

I am however coming up short on finding maps that describe the area with as many of the suggested locations listed. I've pieced some of it together, but am still not feeling all so confident with what I have.

The hotels will provide you with maps, the best ones are in a magazine called after dark. However for folks new to Bangkok i would suggest using the above-ground railway. If your hotel is close to a railway station the key stations are Nana, Asok and Saladaeng. They will take you to the basic 3 farang entertainment spots.
1. For nana exit out of the West/South Exit and walk past the JW Marriot and take the 1st to your left, 20m down on the left you will find nana.
2. For Asok exit out of the North/East exit (follow the signs to Sukhumvit Station), go down the escalator to ground level and then take the escalator down into Sukhumvit station walk to the other side and take the 2 half escalators up (you will end up facing Asok station when you exit). Turn right and take the first to your right and you will find soi cowbow.
3. For Saladaeng take the North/West exit, keep facing the same way and after 30m you can turn right into patpong.
For other locations you will need to do some extra investigation.

Thank you for the suggestions Retired Army.
Why concern over the Eden club though. It sounds exciting. Are there concerns about getting ripped off there. Or are the girls just way too aggressive. If you are going to enjoy 2 ladies at the same time they better be aggressive. Just the first time I have heard any concern over the place.

If you are familiar with shanghai, then Bangkok will not be too much to handle. To the best of my knowledge Eden is as legit as you can find (a lot more safe and less of a rip off then most places in shanghai) so i would suggest you will have no trouble enjoying it. The girls are also very aggressive and i would suggest trying the nazi option (you need to pre-order it) having two thai girls dressed up in waffen SS unforms while they place latex products in strategic locations is rather unusual to say the least. (I am not sure if this is still on offer, so you may need to ask).
However i must admit Retired Army's comments have a strong lining of truth and experience. Often you need to work your way upto the more bizarre forms of entertainment in Bangkok, otherwise you simply will not appreciate it.
A good example was of this is one particular service my Bangkok based mate keeps on trying to get me to try, the old ram your old fellow up the girls throat until she gags and covers it with gastric juices, the burning sensation is suppose to be quiet a thrill – however i am a boring old Beijing boy and not use to such perversions – so i know i would not enjoy it (and have refused to partake.)
On the other hand if i live in Bangkok for more than 5 years, like my mate, who knows what strange things would happen to my mind. I think its best if i stay in Beijing.

My work travel strategy is to 'cheap' the short-term stuff and stock-up on the long term things that matter. Those of you on european-type expense accounts need not read further.

The main point is the 1500B limo from the airport. That's about 30min after at least 18hrs of flying. Take your savings there. If you take a cab leaving from departures (take the elevator at the end of baggage claim), you have no wait at all and it's ~180 to Suk. And, you will ALWAYS have this cab alone. So, take that saved baht and get a one-star upgrade on your hotel on a short trip. See how easy that is for a very short transport time?

Although I always travel on business, I shop hard for cheap airfairs through consolidators. Since I do much of my work in the rented service-apartment, this really pays off by booking something better on a 5-10 day stay. Overall, it's much better to scrimp on the 'short-term' things rather than your room.

Did you also notice that the driver probably gave the parking police a small token of his appreciation?

[NoCBJ4Me]

I always ask because it can be a deal breaker for me if they don't. It's better to ask ahead of time, than be disappointed back in the room. Sometimes refusal can be a sign of a bad attitude - a starfish in bed, complaining etc.. In my experience, the better looking they are, (hot GoGo girls), the more resistance to doing it. Beer bar girls are the best bet for this - IMHO.

The last time I traveled to Thailand was 1993. Then you had to make clear with the bar girl that you wanted BJ. Not all girls provided this service. You had to point to your pants and ask “do you smoke?” Is this still the case? Or do the girls automatically know what is expected?
