Bangkok Reports

I went to Annie's massage at the Raja hotel after having read so many good things about it online.

Seriously disappointed.

#1: The place is a dingy dump.

#2: (Most of) The girls are ugly.

#3: Very rushed service.

I chose #23, and while she was good and friendly it was a hurried session. I was out in about an hour and 10 minutes, despite having paid for 2.

Not worth 2500 THB at all. For a bit more money one could go to a much nicer place like Utopia. Poseidon is also the same price but much nicer.

The only good thing is that the drinks are cheap. But again, it is rushed. I doubt if you can sit there and peacefully drink multiple drinks. The mamasan keeps asking you to pick a girl.

If you're a tourist and you enter the Soi from the Bacarra end I would suggest staying away from the bars on the left side towards the end of the road. They definitely jack up the bill. I emphatically said no lady drink at one of them but they charged me for at least 3. When I protested I got surrounded by menacing bouncers who insisted that I ordered the drinks. I just paid and left, and the same thing happened at the bar next door.[/QUOTE]Looks like you have fallen prey to the Go-Go scam run inside the joints owned by the Arab (as referred to here), with the history of padded bins. There should be a definitive and updated list of the Go-Gos owned by the Arab so that tourists can avoid his joints.

Since I do not remember the names of all the clubs which are owned by the guy, I just tend to play it by instinct. I check the number of patrons that are visiting any particular establishment and if the number isn't to my satisfaction, I avoid the Go-Go. Thankfully, I haven't had to pay a padded bin yet (this isn't a fool proof method, but seems to work).

I too, cannot name all of the bars owned by the Arab, but they all tend to have the (really hot) Coyote girls out-front. As you probably all know these girls are hired in from an agency and in my experience are just xxxx teases.

I'm not quite sure how or why I ended up in this random little bar on 2nd floor NEP. I normally stick to the bigger bars like Rainbow 4. But I had a pleasant surprise when I found a total cutie in there.

She was 7/10,19 yo, nice slim figure and cute face and gave a good performance with lots of kissing.

Cost BF:700 B, ST:2000 B + tip. So call it 3000 B total.

The other girls weren't anything to write home about, but I'd go back just for her.

Now after reading this "Arab" scam I'm kind of worried as I'm from Arab background myself.

Am I not reading between the lines?

Thanks

[QUOTE=TonyIndian;1612939]Stayed at the Tai Pan for a night and went to nearly every bar on Soi Cowboy.

I liked The Doll House best. Very friendly girls and the tits on all of them are amazing.

Bacarra was good too.

If you're a tourist and you enter the Soi from the Bacarra end I would suggest staying away from the bars on the left side towards the end of the road. They definitely jack up the bill. I emphatically said no lady drink at one of them but they charged me for at least 3. When I protested I got surrounded by menacing bouncers who insisted that I ordered the drinks. I just paid and left, and the same thing happened at the bar next door.[/QUOTE]Thanks to various members for contribution on Soi Cowboy. Seems like Dollhouse is worth checking out. They have bar fine or only coyote? Cowboy 2 bar has good girls outside sometimes. Cowboy2 has bar fine?

I have been dragged to Bacarra most of the time by my Japanese friends, so didn't check out Dollhouse or Cowboy 2 yet from the inside. Next mission will stop in these two if they have bar fine.

It's true what some guys say about Bacarra girls preferring Japanese. But it should be amended to "Asians. " It just so happens most of the customers are of Japanese persuasion. More than 4 of the Bacarra girls told me they prefer Asians and don't like to go with farang. But they immediately also tell me it's a "secret" because they don't want to offend anyone.

I have no comment other than to repeat what the girls tell me.

[QUOTE=TesterTester;1613018] But they immediately also tell me it's a "secret" because they don't want to offend anyone.

I have no comment other than to repeat what the girls tell me.[/QUOTE]How is it a secret? I have picked a few girls from Bacarra before and the ones that I have really wanted to pick (and have not been able to) have come right out and said that they cater only to Japanese punters (and not Asian, but I guess Korean will also do). No secrets there, IMHO. The girls are very vocal about their preferences only once you have bought them a drink. IMHO, there is nothing to get offended about, it is, after all their choice.

1. Rio.

2. Kiss.

3. Deja Vu.

4. Midnite.

5. Sahara.

6. Rawhide.

7. Spice Girls.

They are owned by an Iranian Guy (popularly called "Arab") Apparently he was heard saying as below to one of his muslim friend (as told to me by a girl, I bar-fined from there, after paying up a heavily padded bill, and coerced to do so by bouncers):

"Our religion allows for cheating all Kafers, so this business model is not disapproved by our religion, And anyway these Kafers come here loaded with money, no harm losing a few thousand to my place, and no one knows which bars I own".

Dollhouse is fully nude by the way. Missing it already.

Thai girls with big tits, doesn't get any better. Even the Hooters doesn't come close.

Will definitely return whenever in Bangkok.

I am making a note of this right away. Thanks.

On point #3, however, I would have to say that I have received pretty good service here at least 90% of the time. So in conclusion, I would advise avoiding Annies. It is an Icon Institution on lower Sukhumvit, but its best days are behind it. It operates more like a tourist trap than anything else these days I. E. Very high prices for the overall low quality in girls and amenities. You can do much better on Ratchadaphisek Road area at soapy palaces like Copa Cabana, Emmanuelle, Nataree, Amsterdam, The Lord, La Belle, Long Beach, and Utopia.

Do you remember the numbers of the ones you wanted to take but wouldn't go on account of you not being Japanese? There was one who has a very cute face, can't remember the number, but I think it is number 80 (blondish hair fake boobs that are too big to be natural and too perfectly shaped to be natural). Told one of my friends she wouldn't go with him because he wasn't japanese. Then turns around and goes with a very fat and not so old farang. So go figure.

As you said, it's their choice. No big deal either way.

I prefer Cowboy over Nana over Patpong although there are good Go Go's in all three locations. My favorite Soi Cowboy Go Go's are: Baccara, Crazy House, Suzi Wong, and Shark in that order.

Some guys don't like Baccara. I do. I have been going there for years. They have the largest number of girls anywhere and there is something for everybody. The girls, the waitresses, the hostesses all know me and I get treated very well here like a preferred customer. I am a Caucasian American and have never had a problem getting girls here. Over the years I must have taken at least 15 girls out of this joint. Many of these girls still work here and I get smiles and knowing glances from them everytime I come here. As a result, Baccara is my home base Go Go bar in BKK. My favorite Go Go girl resides here. I have been seeing her since 2011 and I no longer pay her barfine. She might be one of the reasons I am treated so well here. Bottom line: there are plenty of real nice girls here. I am not intimidated by the Asian customers. I can out swing most of these dudes any night of the week and the girls know it.

The new bar, Crazy House is very strong. They have perhaps the best looking lineup in BKK at the moment. I took two girls out of here during my last trip and had a great time. I appreciate the nudity. Strange, the nude dancers are the better looking than the scantily clad girls IMHO. There is a good overall vibe here.

Suzi Wong is an old school Go Go and I like the vibe here too very much. The line up is much smaller than Baccara or CH, but there are a couple of girls here that I really like. All the girls are nude and there are a couple of lesbian shows every night.

Shark is always worth a look see. It is a good bar, just not as good as Baccara or the others mentioned above IMHO.

I stopped going to to Dollhouse in 2009 or something. The quality of the girls was really poor back then. It is good to read a few positive reports about the joint recently. I think I will have to check the place out again when I return to BKK in 15.

But the one I was really keen on was number 151, she gently let me down (JAP only policy). There is this girl who has slight bangs and loves to dance and perform for the Asian clientele, easily does 2-3 STs per night, I guess. I sometimes wonder whether she enjoys dancing and being admired by the younger Korean crowd or actually getting STs.

I am not very sure but there was a fake blondie who wanted to know from the MMS the nationality (or racial type) of the punter from the stage before her highness consented to a sit down. Of course, I did not hear their conversation. But I do know that I didn't get to sit down with the girl. I think this is one example of where these Go-Go girls are able to make a choice.

I have only been going to Bangkok for a short time and I have only been to Baccara 4 times but I've never been turned down and I've never had a problem bar fining a girl that I liked. I don't pay any attention to any of the other guys in a bar I don't let them bother me in the least.
