Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=Wolvenvacht;1536739]"Generally assumed" by one or two perhaps?[/QUOTE]I can't read this gentlemen's posts, but while escort review sites give Bangkok Gold good reviews, here's an example of what they say about BKK141.

[I]Large selection of girls from 23 years + but unfortunately with the worst service you can imagine. We booked 3 girls during two days in April 2012 and all of them had their period (Kung, Nuch and Bell) A refund request was always declined by a British guy named "Scott" and his female Thai Mamasam "Nee". Unfortunately we had no chance to avoid this because every girl was asking for the payment within 5 minuted upon arrival. In addition we had to pick up with some serious phone terror including extortion because all girls got nuts after we informed the escort agency. Stay away[/I]

While Bangkok Gold is my favorite escort service, it is not the only escort service I use. However, BKK141 is a service I would never use.

For what it's worth, I've never had any of the escorts our MP girls on outcall I've used ask for money upfront. If one did, I'd immediately send her on her way.

[QUOTE=George300;1536448]Does anyone have advice with how to go about getting a girl for a few days, take her and yourself to a doctors get STD tested, if she's clean I want to bareback all vacation long. Thats truly my goal, I will never ever ever fuck one of these girls without them being tested (even tho here in the states, I've slipped up many a times with k-girls and some AMP girls, bareback but never caught anything). Are they receptive to this?[/QUOTE]Its possible for really nice respectful guys that treat a girl well, to get to know a beautiful girl over time, and take her away for a few days like she was a girlfriend. I don't like your chances. You best start off with the pornstar MP shops and see if you develop a good rapport with some hottie.

Many of us already know a girl real well that could be our holiday girl. Its not an instant thing.

I've taken her to Krabi (twice) , Koh Samet, Koh Chang, and a few other places including a week in Singapore. I'll be seeing her again in a couple of weeks. An absolute delight and a pleasure to be with. If we get bored I buy her a couple of magazines, or watch a film, or go for a massage, or a bike ride, there is always something to do.

[QUOTE=Newton York;1536305]The service was okay, to me, I didn't feel like it was anything better than what I had experienced in prague. Just cheaper. But because they're all asian, it really is up to the individual what you want. I've mongered in many of the main mongering destinations of the world, all except Bangkok. With this trip done, I can at least say I've finally done it. Another notch to my belt. Thanks for reading guys. Don't get pissed at me if there's something here you disagree with. It's just words in a forum, to each his own fellas. Happy mongering and fuck safe![/QUOTE]Your experience is so different to mine, not least perhaps in your approach. As a trivial example, in all my trips to BKK I have never had 'a shitty taxi driver', as you put it. I've had some troublesome ones, but nothing that couldn't be solved with a smile. There is an Asian way of doing things, and I am hardly an expert, but I usually have a pretty good time wherever I go in Asia.

But like you say, that's what your experience was. So here's my challenge to you: I'm going to Prague next week, so please give me a couple of pointers to having a good time. And I'll report back as to which was more fun! My limited research so far on Prague makes me want to save my money for BKK (the following week).

[quote=george300; 1536448]i'll be arriving in bkk in 5days, this will be my 3rd trip to thailand so i'm still kinda a newbie. my last trip was before new years, had a great time but still wanted better. i've had bell from bangkokgoldescorts and wasnt that impressed. she was nice and all and body was what i wanted, but performance wise she wasn't the pse type i expected after reading reviews. she wasn't a starfish but wasn't good either, i won't see her again.

i had girls at mango, annies, bamboo. mangos rooms are kinda a dump, little bugs throughout, kinda grossed out. girls have always taken good care. did anything i wanted but still would give over experience a 7 out 10. annies was a bit better because i like being in the soapy bathtub with them, but the rooms were bigger than mango and somewhat nicer but still dumpy. overall would have to say 7. 5 out 10. bamboos, i'd give a 8 of 10, rooms were nice and fresh. had a good time with one girl at the place and then for my second time i had ploy come to my hotel. she was pretty cool and i had a great time with her, probably the best of the massage girls i had but i hoped she was hotter but she was still cute. i really want stunners tho.

so then i go to rainbow 4 a few nights. one of them was a stunner, super hot, amazing natural tits, killer body, fucked me real good and was active and got into real good positions, she really knew how to fuck and was pse style but no anal. and the worst part, she wouldn't do bbbj. a condom for a bj is deal breaker for me back in usa, but its my fault because i didn't ask her what her limits were when we were at the club. next had a super tiny girl from rainbow4, like novelty tiny. she prolly weighed 75lbs. performed well and i basically was throwing her around and really used her as a handheld masturbator. wouldn't take her again tho, something wasnt totally together with her. maybe mixture of anorexia or drugs. idk. had two more rainbow girls, they were cute, but performance was average.

i went to dr bjs salon and sampled 'l'. she was accommodating but i want more. i really want a girl that will let me rough face fuck her with spit running out of her mouth down her neck, hard deepthroat, she could even puke on me as long as she's super and really gives it her all. i find most thai girls give lacklust bjs. some were good, but the american girls i'm use too really are super working girls when it comes to sloppy hard deepthroating. so the bar is pretty high. i've also had amazing times in europe with romanian girls.

before i flew out i went to eden club. on previous trip i went to devils den in pattaya and it was lackluster mechanical and would rank it a 6 out of 10. i should have been more aggressive with the girls. eden was a little better, but still not super amazing. i think porn has ruined me. i really want these working girls to be cum hungry nymphs but they just going thru the motions.

so for my 3rd trip coming up i need advice. where am i going to find the girls and at least decent actors? if you guys ever seen some of the porn vids from asian apple seed, that's what i'm talking about. i got money to spend i'm not cheap charlie, so i'll pay a premium for better service. buts she got to be stellar. also interested any recommandations for really long time, like 3 or 4 days. i kinda want to get a good girl and take her to phuket or koi samui and have a girlfriend experience getway. i found some escort sites online that so rates for days. anyone have experience with bangkok escort girl. com? or what about sunnydebkk. com? she independant, pricey but not as much as the other one i found, tuk bangkok. com. she wants 15, 000baht for 2 hours? insane.

does anyone have advice with how to go about getting a girl for a few days, take her and yourself to a doctors get std tested, if she's clean i want to bareback all vacation long. thats truly my goal, i will never ever ever fuck one of these girls without them being tested (even tho here in the states, i've slipped up many a times with k-girls and some amp girls, bareback but never caught anything). are they receptive to this?

this trip i will sample bamboo again, maybe la belle for novelty factor (intrigued by the luxury of it) , or poseidon, i want to order more girls to my room was going to use ez massage website. maybe nan from bangkokgold or if anyone else recommends someone different. make it to soi cowboy. and angelwitch in nana (saw some good ones in there last time but they got scooped up before i could chose them). i kinda want to fuck a super hot and feminine ladyboy too. any advice for them?

last time i saw this older guy with these two chicks, they looked super young, but were prolly 18, one had red hair the other green hair, punk hipsters, they were bi and all over each other on the bts in a sexy playful way. they had marijuana leave tattoos on them too which i liked because you know these girls party. they looked like total nymphs, i was about to ask the guy where he found them. i would love to sample some girls like that.

how is freelance girls at nana or any of the clubs? i never went to any of them. i'll be solo and was a little apprehensive going to clubs like that solo.

i'll be in pattaya for sure for 2 days, looking to bang some russians there for a change of pace. going to visit campagne and some other places on walking street but don't know where else to go. lots of massage places, i suppose just kinda walk around and take a peek around like i did last time. any standouts must sees?

if anyone wants to meet up and share their wisdom with a newbie like me that would be great. looking forward to making this my best trip yet.[/quote]taking your criteria literally could be summed up as follows: a 9 plus drop dead gorgeous playful stunner willing on shortnotice to go on a multi day trip to 24/7 fuck bareback, take it up the ass, deep down the throat and all hardcore style but only after you've tested her for stds. sounds like the hardcore version of "aibolit" the poster a year or so back with the most demanding criteria i've seen listed.

unless you're brad pitt or are enormously wealthy and willing to pay extraordinary amounts odds are 1 in a 1000. such girls are looking for a cash-heavy sponsor to pay their full freight and simply being paid a "premium' for a few days means nothing to them.

now that said, you may get lucky and run into a go go stunner who happens to be in heat at the right time of the month and will go bareback but then agreeing to test? unlikely and there is a window issue with hiv, making it all somewhat meaningless anyway

now as for whether that was routinely doable 15 to 20 years ago in bangkok, not sure, but perhaps some experts in that era can comment on that.

as for guys walking into nana clubs solo?. its an absolute irrelevant issue with probably one third to one half of all patrons entering clubs solo. the crime issue for example is next to non existent in these clubs. when you visit you will understand how irrelevant and absurd the entire wingman issue is, and in fact wingmen can limit your flexibility in bangkok, cut down the flexibility one needs to more from venue to venue. the city itself is extermely safem especially in the main areas, and only the protests have complcated the rules a bit. farangs are all in the same boat, so its fairly common for the guy next to you to be making comments about the dancers and so forth.

[QUOTE=TigerCountry;1536512]Thanks for the awesome review mate! Will be in BKK next month so your nfo was very helpful. Little concerned that Grand Palace and such are blocked, but I'm here for mongering anyway. Oh well, looks like I'll find something else to do and it'll help to focus more on the sex scene.[/QUOTE]Yeah, it was tough to even try to get there. In the end, the chick I was with and I just gave up and went to a mall instead. It's possible to get there via the subway and stuff, but when I was there, the real violence hadn't started yet. Until things calm down, I would recommend sticking to the mongering areas. I never even got close to a single temple or palace, but somehow I felt like I got the most of Bangkok.

Trust me man, it's two very very different experiences. Not to mention if you're going now, it's cold too. I think it almost goes with saying that you won't like it compared to Bangkok. But its okay man, to each his own you know. We've all got our preferences. I like prague for specific reasons. Just like how you like Bangkok. Perhaps it's how I worded my report, making things sound worse than it is. Bangkok was okay, I'd go back if I had the cash. Its sayonara from me after these posts, I got to semi-retire because of lousy financials. Happy mongering dude, and fuck safe!

[quote=western787; 1536328]amazing report:

lesson 1: this is bangkok, beautiful women are everywhere, forget photos and agencies and oil message fakes and select girls in-person up close, which in addition allows one to get a sense of the all-critical vibe level.

lesson 2: rtff. nataree has been mentioned 100's of times in this forum, its a diamond in the rough. the formula is simple."old crummy rooms and low overhead, but hot young girls", and it works. over 5000 bahts? apparently you got one of the premium sideliners? left you speechless? lol, fair chance she's now part of some japanese business guy's personal collection.

lesson 3. never talk to vendors about the ff outside the ff (similar to fight club rules)

lesson 4: in terms of bangkok and the issue of whether its the alleged "mongering capital of the world". its certainly one of the most prolific if you include rich thais and east asians and their mistresses and concubines which they keep here. note that farangs on this forum that seem to view bangkok in the most favorable terms are here a lot, often weeks or even months at a time, sufficient to often have favorites all over the city, and understand and take advantage of many of the nuances of the p4p scene most shortterm mongers don't notice or are unaware of or are not in a position to benefit from, particularly in regard to repeat sessions with certain providers, and their positive attitude toward bangkok imho derives in part from the fact that in their overpriced home countries, the women are ballbusters, which they are reminded of every time they return home. in contrast, guys that live here year round can sometimes become very jaded and cynical, especially about price increases and worsening attitudes.[/quote]yes, agreed. i learned those lessons first hand. is that what she was? a premium sideliner. there were like 4 of them, but she was the best looking, i was wondering what set them apart. in hindsight, as hot as she was, and if given the time, i think i'd try the others. but man, there were so many, how does one choose? lesson 4 is spot on dude. spot on. i probably need another a few more trips before i can feel like i really like the place. its very 'alive' compared to europe obviously. the energy, the heat, the humidity, all the sweating one does, etc. but it did feel kinda messy to me, which again makes sense it being the third world and all. sure, the malls and surrounding were clean and nice, but bangkok has that chaotic energy, the mess of it all, that needs a little patience to deal with. i'm not putting the place down, i'm just saying it's different. i just like places that have large and clean sidewalks to walk on. having experienced bangkok and how different it is, even very different from singapore which i enjoyed mongering in, i just got to say that whatever one might feel of the city itself, the chicks are worth a look-see.

Well, whatever it is the husband felt me weird, and I'm on their shit list now, and since they got my real name I can't ever, never ever book with goldies. I don't know how I feel about that. It really depends if I'm ever going back to Bangkok. Don't get me wrong fellas, I know my review back there seemed less than stellar, but I think it was pretty balanced. But I've always been more partial to the blondes / brunettes anyway. This whole Bangkok thing was just something I needed to try. I wanted to try 'asian'. I know for a lot of you fellas here, it's pretty much home. I respect you for that. If I can afford it, I'd be back too, right now though cash is tight. Well, at least the chicks were cheap. Overall, it was an eye opening experience. I know fellas, I saw it too, there were a lot of hotties, no doubt. Some hotter than I could have conceived possible. While Bangkok itself is something that needs getting used to, the chicks are definitely worth a visit. If I have more time and money, I'll be back.

spent three days in bkk, having arrived swiftly in bell travel service's bus from pattaya. left hotel at 8.30, checked in bkk hotel at 11 am so it was very fast / smooth and cheap indeed. hardly 5 passengers in the bus. called one of old contact from oilies. she arrived within an hour and the next few hours just flew. all i know is by the time we were finished, it was close to midnight already. went for a walk towards nana from asok intersection which is blocked by protesters. it is certainly bit tense but not too much. mostly loud rabble rousing speeches followed by some entertainment. one has to walk through the small channels and show the bags. one can also use the mrt walkway which has been reduced to half size, one half is taken up by protesters. business has been hit badly around protest area but seems to be not too bad in other places which are also almost normal in terms of atmosphere. soi cowboy was hopeless, mostly very ugly looking slim girls. went into baccara on two nights. lots and lots of girls as usual, not one good looking one. plenty of ippuns, not as many as last year. very few farangs. went to rajah hotel to check russian presence. omfg. bloody fuglies. why did they even enter this line. pimp said few more girls upstairs after 10 pm and quoted 2700 but i won't settle for less than 25000 bahts just touching me lol. same situation in grace hotel but around 11 pm the lineup outside hotel improved a bit and i saw 3-5 girls who i would rate as 6. mostly fat ugly stani girls. the wgs have practically deserted asok area and are now found in nana and soi 5-12 areas. nana is not my cup of tea anyways but the ones on sukumvit were hopless. didn't even feel like asking them the rates. went to bier garden around 3 pm. absoloutely crap. old geezers and old providers. about 30-40 onsite and not one good looking one. repeated another laste evening, still nothing attractive. picked up two wgs from sukumvit during my three day stay, both quoted 1000 bahts. pretty good service. also took fancy to a cutie in one of the massage shops in front of citadines 23 but she wanted 1500 for full service so told her to stop massage after 20 minutes. she was surprised when ai tipped her. had just started so was not business savvy, hopefully will be smarter for you guys. did a bit of tourist thing, went to grand palace (500 baht entry fee) and ayutthya. both are excellent to take a break and snap few pics. on last day called my contact again. the evening with her just flew and 4 hours and 2 shots later, it was only time enough for a 4 hour nap before my flight so thus ended my bangkok trip. left bkk with heavy heart, feeling as if ai now have a mistress in bkk who sucked all my time an. the you know what.

Happy mongering dude, and fuck safe![/QUOTE]Bangkok has always been very hit and miss to me. When I first started coming here 20 years ago it was about girls really not having a lot of skills and often not willing to smoke but they almost always had great attitudes. Now they are generally more skillful at the practice of sex but very hit and miss in their attitudes. But with a little work you could and still can find girls that have both good skills and good attitudes. But there will certainly be some bombs thrown in before you do. Still I have to wonder if your streak of bad luck was somewhat self-inflicted. A lot of effort was clearly put into choosing girls from Escort Services for goodly amounts of money but geez hardly anyone that I know uses escort services. They are truly Russian Roulette. Maybe they are better back in Europe but in Bangkok, no way should you use them. Pay up front? Lord no. Your chances of bad service increase dramatically if you do that in an escort service or in pretty much any service. Best value for money is generally freelancers found in discos and various other venues. Gogo's though have the better looking women and at least you can spend some time with them and measure the chemistry and their attitude. Still your chances of a great experience is only 50/50 if that. But the fact that you had two disagreeable experiences with taxi drivers really seems odd and makes me wonder about you. In all my years of coming and living here I have never had one problem with a driver. Some may not want to put on the meter so you just wait for one who will. Bangkok is great if you allow it to be great but stay away from escort services and queens in go-gos.

Like many Asian cities, it's "organized chaos." It's a fascinating place, where there is always something going on. The traffic, the crazy moto taxis, walking down the street with one eye on the ground for holes and obstacles, one eye up for forehead-height awning poles, a third eye on traffic approaching from behind, and a fourth eye for the random elephant. As the song says, it's truly "A show with everything but Yul Brynner."

Mmm, the heat and humidity! The smells of delicious food wafting from every street corner. The smiles from the vendors, the "Hello hansum man" from the door girls, the high-buck restaurants cheek by jowl with sidewalk noodle stands, the sense of the anticipation when venturing out at night to find a new girl. As George C. Scott said in Patton."God help me, I do love it so!"

The Europhiles can keep Europe with its wide boulevards and spotless streets. To quote Kipling, "If you've 'eard the East a-callin', you'll never 'eed naught else." You've either heard the East calling, or you haven't. There's no shame in not hearing it. To each his own and no judgment from this corner of farangdom.

Guys sharing knowledge, experiences and opinions. I'm going to offer some different opinions, which is not to say mine are right and yours are wrong. They're just different.

First, I think Bangkok is mostly hit and very little miss. Like you I've never had problems with taxis drivers, nor with waitresses, hotel employees, sales clerks and other civilian workers. I just remember where I am and how I should act if I want social interactions to go well. For me, that is part of the fun. I think the hotel accommodations are great value and the food is cheap and very good. My preferences with the ladies is where our opinions differ.

I've spent time with the gogo girls, FLs, MP girls and escorts. If you do your homework my experience is the least risk, best looking ladies (good manners, nicely dressed and at least decent English) and the best sex by far is with the escorts. I've never had an escort ask me to pay her upfront and have always been pleased with the lady. I agree the gogo girls generally are more attractive than the FLs, but I find both are a crap shoot. Sex with most is average. With a few it is better than average. With a few it is below average. Of course a guy living in Bangkok can shop around, find a few of the exceptional ladies and see them on a regular basis. I think the MPs are a good place to find good performers. Not all the MP ladies are great looking, but again, by doing your homework you can seek out ladies who get good reviews and pick one whose looks you like. Sure we all know YMMV, but there are those ladies who get consistently good reviews. How many bad reviews did Apple at Cherry Massage ever get? I can't recall even one. Of course she was exceptionally good, but there are other ladies out there who get consistently good reviews. Just RTFF! The problem with the MP ladies is even a good performer can give lack luster service if she's been exceptionally busy. My reviews of #24 (Aor) at Annie's is a good example of this. She was fantastic the first time (as good as the best escorts) but only average the second time after having her ass and pussy fucked nonstop for two days. This is not a problem with the escorts because the good agencies monitor and limit how many clients a lady sees over a given time interval. I think the best value is a good MP lady on overnight outcall. For example, Pure Bangkok Escorts (I pick them because they are one of the less expensive escort agencies) charges 9000 (plus whatever tip you may choose to give) for ten hours. For 5000 plus tip you can pick up one of Annie's ladies at 4:30pm and have her stay with you until she needs to leave for work the next day. At Bamboo I'd pick up a lady at 9pm. Pay Bamboo 1000. The lady would stay with me until about 10am the next day and I'd tip her 4000. If you're on a budget I believe the MPs inhouse are excellent value because you don't have lady drinks, bar fines and short time hotel rooms.

Another option guys on ISG don't write about much is using dating websites and social media to find ladies. On these you can hook up with pros, semipros and civilians who understand what is expected of them. You can cultivate an online relationship. Arrange to meet for coffee at Terminal 21. Pay for her beverage and say good bye if you don't like her. If you want to be a real gentleman give her some money for a taxi home. But if you have a little bit of luck you may be able to hook up with a good looking lady and companion. I think this is a really good option for guys under forty. Of course old farts like me can hook up with forty plus ladies, but I go to Bangkok to fuck ladies one-third my age! :D

I recommend guys in town for the first time do their homework (ISG is one of many good sources of information, just do Google searches) and sample a little of everything. After a few visits you'll figure out what you prefer. There are a number of good mongering destinations around the world; and most cities of a decent size have at least some options; but for variety, quantity and value, I think Bangkok can't be beat.

You've either heard the East calling, or you haven't. There's no shame in not hearing it. To each his own and no judgment from this corner of farangdom.[/QUOTE]That's a good description. There are so many things that are different here, some of a very nuance nature: Here's a short list.

1. You walk into the Beergarden and nearly every girl in there is eyeballing you. (you really just need a pulse) Then now and then through the corner of your eye you see a hottie (and they are in there sometimes) moving up a dozen seats to sit next to you. Not going to happen in London and not going to happen in New York.

2. The constant flirtiness of shop girls, some are among the cutest girls you will ever encounter, (no it doesn't mean anything as they are not pros) and I think its an Asian thing really, but its not bad.

3. Lets say you're 10 to 15 miles outside the city for whatever reason, perhaps you are at a Mall, and sometimes it seems like your the only Farang in the entire place. Yes, you do get attention and its pretty good sometimes.

4. You perhaps have a problem on the subway or wherever, getting the right stop or something and while you don't ask for help and can figure it out and what happens? Often pretty girls start helping you. No particular meaning, and some of these girls are very young, but they seem to get some kind of satisfaction that they successfully practiced their English skills and helped you. Sometimes these girls give you looks like you will never see in the west. Their eyes literally glisten. Its just not going to happen many other places.
