General Info

Thanks BR for the info on Mashtan. Went there couple of days back. Room was 30 and Russians were asking for 50 ST and Thai 20 ST. After checking two Russian rooms (remaining 4 rooms didn't answer my call. May be 5 PM was too early for them) finalised a tall petite girl. Told before hand that looking for BJ and CIM. She agreed only to CBJ. Paid the money and after shower went in the bed. It was an OK session but a very nice girl and enjoyed the conversation more than the job.

That was my first time in Mashtan and the experience was OK. Total damage 30+50.

Cheers

[QUOTE=Blood Red]Just made another quick trip to Bahrain. It looks like things are back to normal at Mashtan hotel and it is packed with WG's. I guess they finally paid their monthly bribe to the police.

The room numbers the bellboy put down had at least 8 rooms full of CIS, and 8 of Thai/PRC. Bumped into a few CIS ladies in the elevator...very doable. So Mashtan could be of interest to some of you who are into CIS ladies. ST rate would be 40BD.

If anyone has any info on Al Andalus hotel (OR a hotel with plenty of Syrian ladies), please share. I have heard it has Syrian ladies and Andalus is from the same chain as Mashtan/Yamama plaza and Yamama had the best Syrian ladies ever a year or so ago and I really miss that. When I drove past Andalus, it looked like it was dead, much like Yamama a month or so back.[/QUOTE]

You paid too much. I think ST with a Russian at Mashtan should have been 40 BD MAX. Might as well go to Phoenicia and find a red hot Russian for 50 BD for 30 mins.

It seems there is alot more activity on expatriates.com these days. There are many girls advertising with a link to a pictures of themselves. Alot of Japanese girls which is out of the norm to the usual Thais and PRC's.

Pictures are all nice and all but I have had a bad experience on expatriates once and I was wondering if anyone has tried any of those girls?

My visit to the isle of Bahrain in a couple of days will probably be uneventful in terms of mongering, as my bodyguard (Wildcat) has decided to join me, so I'll cut my trip to two nights only for work purposes. Looks like I'll have to be satisfied with ST afternoon sessions in Dubai and forget about the much more satifying all-nighters until a week later, when I head to the west for a week - without bodyguard.

So thanks anyway for the PMs offering a wingman or a drink - no can do.

Please can you inform at Mashtan we have to take the phone number from the Bell boy Or it is a knocking shop, WG will come to our Dour step to introduce herself without calling?

rather than detailing the act itself (it's always the same anyway: fill holes in one or other creative way) i just wanna jot down a quick guide reflecting on my recent "field work".

backdrop:

bahrain is basically the night club for saudis, kuwaitis, i.e. booze and girls are to be had. the big party is over, however, it is not to say that fun cannot be had. it's just quieter and less decadent since the government cracked down on vices in waves over the past one...two years or so. this is that cheap fun/girls from 2 star hotels disappeared and all is moved upmarket to 3...4 star hotels and clubs they have.

also, most action happens on weekends, i.e. between wed and fri; during the week it is much quieter, read, venus are almost empty.

rundown of venus in operation these days as far as i was able to find out by doing "field exploration" without access to this guide:

diggers (next to delmond hotel): if you are into orientals, i.e. chinese, philipinas and thais this is the place. it's a pub and full of girls almost every day of the week. on weekends it can be packed. you wont be alone very long when you entered.

gulf gate hotel, also near diggers, used to have 3 busy clubs. now they are either totally empty or shutdown. althought the hotel does not allow visitors, some orientals tend to hang around the stairs sometimes. you can pick up one of them if you like, yet you cannot bring one. strange but that's what i experienced in marcy this year. i stayed their twice but never really liked any i bumped into.

baisan ramee hotel: has the warbler pub where you can get pork chops (!). yummy :-) there's also an arab disco with dancing. haven't been inside yet. the warbler is a western expat hangout. little action however.

phoenicia hotel: very arabic hotel, lots of arabs. has some clubs/pubs but not very frequented.

f1 club: oriental girls, lots of expats, not so many arabs. has live band. you can pick a girl there or stay all night for the band. it's up to you. even on weekends it is not that busy. i've been told this place was humming 2 years ago. well, that party is over :-( the f1 club, off exhibition road and not far from the fp is part of the metropolitan hotel, 3 star hotel. there's a bar upstairs with snooker tables. lots of arabs. maybe action is possible if you hang around there. but it was not for me.

fp: forget it. under new management. no visitors allowed.

lots of action moved to juffair with lots of new hotels:

pars international: has a bunch of night clubs. on weekends it might be a little busy but never packed. good thing is they have a popular coffee shop that opens at 2am when nightclubs close and stays open until 6am. more about this later.
girls are mostly ethiopian but also orientals. ethiopians are more work as it has been detailed repeatedly before, so, no need to repeat it here.

rockbottom at the ramee international not far from the best western hotel: same as f1. live band, but a lot more busy, many orientals and western expats, not so many arabs. euphoria at the first floor: mixed crowd, ethiopians and orientals, mixed expats and arabs and also none western expats.

wrangler at the best western: usually busy. pop music but also a lot of r'nb, hence, mixed crowd with many africans, i.e. ethiopians and others. western expats and tourists. drawback: too many men, hence, u'll have to put in alot of work with an uncertain outcome. a lot of action and negotiation happens when the club closes at 2am. whatever the case, if you don't score, the crowd moves to aforementioned coffee shop at the pars hotel. try your luck there. you may or may not get lucky. i went along with a bunch of 3 ethiopian chicks from there to the coffee shop, bought them food, had shisha and at 4am went off with one of them. as i said, "priming" takes some time... check out the venues at the best western too.

what is also possible is to go any hotel that has coffee shops or pubs; the 4 star hotels usually have unless they are family oriented hotels. just hang around there even if it is empty and see what happens. maybe you'll be able to pick up a waitress in the long run.

you also need to make sure you're staying in a girl friendly hotel. not all hotels allow visitors. just ask. hotel staff knows it anyway, so, why beat around the bush. rule of thumb: hotels with spacious big lobbies with families/children bopping around is a give away that you shouldn't want to stay there if you want to bring a girl. go for 3...4 star hotels with small lobbies so you don't have to parade your loot in front of a "greeting commitee" down the whole lobby to the elevators... some hotels show big signs in the lobby "visitors not allowed". but that's not always true. e.g. i stayed at the landmark suites opposite the f1 club and i noticed guys bringing in girls. so, ask before you book your hotel.

hard rock caffee: used to have live band and action. now has been turned to just a boring restaurant because it got its license revoked, i.e. disallowing live bands. unless you just want to eat there and have a pint don't bother.

massage: some hotels have a spa were there are massage girls, usually ethipians. tried massage at the bahrain international hotel, government road not far from the delmond hotel. the massage was surprisingly professional, i.e. a real massage and actually very good. if you add 10 bd you'll get your jerked off. i tried to cajoule her into nude massage but she didn't want to. at least not the first time. i am convinced you'll get there but you'd have to go the same place more often. haven't tried that yet.

summary: check out clusters of hotels in addition to what has been recently posted. with recent i mean postings of, say, less than 6 months old, in fact, go for the most recent ones because half a year ago was different than it is today. even if a bar looks empty, just walk in and wait a few minutes to see what happens. maybe you'll get lucky. be prepared to put in a bit more work, i.e. don't walk in, pick a girl and work out with your "prey". however, if that's what you want i'd say stick to diggers. with negotiation you should get away with around 50 bd a night. negotiate less and it's more, negotiate harder and it's less. they have introduced admission fees almost everywhere ranging from 2..3bd to 5...10 bd. you can negotiate to let you in without paying but it can be tiring. it does work with western expats because they tend to spend money on drinks. if you're indian/arab looking there's no way you'll get in without paying because the clubs know you wont order any drinks (ok, maybe a glass of water).

there's a difference between western style and arab/indian style venues. just listen to the music they are playing: western style is the concept of a discotheque, i.e. bar, music, dancing. arab/indian style is boring: you book a table and sit all night and watch some beautiful chicks (arab but not saudi and/or indian) dance and sing on stage. you cannot have them. maybe, if you push it and have the patience for it you might be able to get one by befriending the performer you like over a period of time. but i couldn't be asked, so, i haven't tested this.

piece of advice: if you're drunk take a cab, don't drive yourself unless you want to be fined heavily, spend a few days in jail and get your license revoked. don't speed if you bring your car over, don't jump red traffic lights and observe where you can do u-turns and where you cannot. fines have gone up and if you are way above the speed limit you might spend a day in jail as penalities for traffic violations have been increased in march this year.

i'll be back to saudi on the next contract in about a month, so, will check out the other venues mentioned in previous posts. still a lot to discover even in bahrain ;-) thanks guys for posting ;-)

I personally prefer when the girls come to the room yourself or call on their own.

[QUOTE=Tomwannabe]Diggers (next to Delmond Hotel): if you are into orientals, i.e. chinese, philipinas and thais this is THE place.

Gulf Gate hotel, also near Diggers, used to have 3 busy clubs. Now they are either totally empty or shutdown.[/QUOTE]Tom,

Excellent post with a lot of good advice.

Just a couple of pointers from someone on the ground. Delmon Hotel, Diggers Bar, lots of Chinese and Thai, never seen Filipinos in there. The Thais tend to be closer to the stage, Chinese around the door and towards the toilets at the back. Quite a demarkation. The managment prefer the Thais over the Chinese because the Thais apparently buy drinks and 'hang out' more with the customers. The Chinese WGs are more business-minded and more focused. You pays your money, you takes your choice. There are a few stunners in there though, but you have to be quick, or rich. Mixed pickings over the years, but overall, consistantly good quality. A few real dogs get in there sometimes so watch out.

Gulf Gate hotel next to Diggers. Beware Wendy's bar. This is well known in Bahrain as a Gay bar. Only venture there in packs on a pub crawl of the souk . . . :) It was, in the past a venue that the girls could hang around in if they were waiting to get into Diggers. Sometimes Diggers has a policy that you, as a WG, can't get in without a guy, or they charge the WGs entrance fee. It depends if they feel that the bar is getting too crowded with WGs. Personally I don't have a problem with this, but it is apparently so.

Thanks for the field work Tom, good luck with your next trip.

Cheers,

Had the chance now to read through the recent comments. It confirms what I wrote in my previous post. Anything older than 6 month is out of date. So, here's an update (I was in Bahrain last week):

- Bahrain International Hotel, Govt. Avenue: no girls. The arcades/coffee shops at the ground floor are empty. However, the good thing is that it is close to Diggers (5 min walk) and the reception is a bit away from the elevators and the ground floor is a rather public space, so, you could get to your room with your WG unchecked although I haven't yet tried that. In fact, there are two stair cases, one at the front and one further back that ground floor arcade. So, when you enter the arcade from the rear entrance you'll get upstairs before even passing by the hotel's front desk. There's only a security guard. Very handy. The hotel is a bit tired and Bahrain's heydays are over, read: many hotels don't get full these days not even on weekends (not true for the Ramee Internationl. Seems to be very popular). When I was there I paid just BD25. But maybe I just got lucky.

- Gulf Pearl Hotel, Govt. Avenue: does not allow girls. I asked about visitors and they said no.

- Al Afrah (2 star hotel): no girls, no visitors allowed

- Crown Plaza, diplomat area: no action when I checked it out

- Crwan Plaza, off Exhibition Road, near F1: no action

Maybe is a different story in 6 month because the F1 event and the Bahrain Air Show aren't that long ago. Essentially you got to kinda hope Bahrain isn't comming up with too many international big events before which they clamp down even more on all that real fun.

One also has to bear in mind that exept for Diggers the bar scene unfortunately isn't stable throughout the week for most places. With stable I mean always action to be had regardless of what day you'll go. That only seem to hold true for the Wrangler that I tested on a Friday, Thursday and a Sunday. It was always busy, however, see my previous post for drawback. Also important to note is that it gets busier (not busy) very late. No point going out at 10pm or so; some clubs don't even open before 10: 30pm. Around 11:30pm seems good enough.

[QUOTE=Piper1]I'll be staying at Radisson SAS soon. Sylvan's post was a year ago, and there's been a lot of clean-up in Bahrain since. Anyone have any updates on Radisson action?[/QUOTE]When I checked it was dead. My advice. Two options:

A) You stay only overnight or the weekend: check out the most recent posts in this forum and BEFORE you fly to the middle east. Book a hotel that's a safe bet (not many anyway). No margin for error unfortunately.

B) You visit Bahrain for a few days or are close enough (e. G. Working in Saudi) to frequent Bahrain more often and ideally have a car: book the first night only. Just in case you end up at a hotel that doesn't allow visitors.

Well, you could call them up before booking but my guess is that all hotels would say they don't allow visitors because they don't know whether or not they get probed by the Bahrain "vice control". However, turning up and ask is a different story 'because they'd see who's asking that sticky question.

Piece of advice when checking out hotels online, say, on booking. Com: read the guest reviews. If recent posts complain about club noise or girls etc. Then it's your ideal place to stay *LOL*.

[QUOTE=Stout Dick]Hi Kuwaiti,

If you are looking for Arab Chics..then I would suggest you got to be in Juffair. I live there and see the arab chics..exchanging numbers with the Saudi visitors. From the way they dress (exposing the cleavage) you can easily make out who is working girl and who is not.

Also there girls coming in groups in rented cars and 4WD. I once winked at a group and they started waving to me as if asking me to join them. Since I couldnt talk in arabic, I couldnt do much.

If any forum members have inputs about juffair welcome to share.

Cheers

SD[/QUOTE]SD,

I guess you are talking about that short road both the Ramee International (corner) and off which the Best Western hotel and Yum Yum Tree is with lots of new fancy eateries/fast food joins? If it is so, yes, that road gets jammed with 4WDs and Saudi dickheads letting the engines of their (expensive) cars roar annoyingly while waiting to park, in particular on Wed and Thur nights. Sometimes such cars are driven and full of girls but they come across to me as rather none WGs?

Could you elaborate where in Juffair to linger around for that? Also important to know is the time and days (weekends I guess). I would give it a go. Just for the heck of it and as long as the chicks manage some english (most of 'em do) it will be good enough.

I once had a take away at Best Western, from the Wrangler. Security immedaitely spotted us at the lift. She had to leave the ID and I had an extra 10BD added in the room bill for guest.

[QUOTE=Bionicman]I once had a take away at Best Western, from the Wrangler. Security immedaitely spotted us at the lift.

Well. Its fairly easy to get laid in bahrain. But getting laid with an Arab chic well. Thats is a different story. Unless you stay in one of the known hotels for working Arab ladies. But can correct me if I am mistaken. There are no placeswhere you can go and pick up an Arab chic to your hotel. Is that right?

Your answeres are greatly appreciated.

Hi Ak,

Ok, enlighten us. Could you give us an idea of an, or some, of the hotels that have working Arab ladies. This is an itch I've been wanting to scratch for a long time. I haven't heard of any hotels that have Arab ladies. Any input would be appreciate.

Cheers
