For Those With BKK Layover
Me and my wingman left home in Pattaya and arrived at BKK airport. We left our baggage in the storage place that is at the end of Counter N. The price is 100 baht/bag/day. We went outside to get a taxi. I do speak Thai and told the first guy that we were going to Sukhumvit Soi Nana. He ushered us into his taxi and when we were comfortable told us 500 baht! I asked if he was crazy. He said 400 baht. We got out and got into the taxi behind him. I offered the driver 250 baht to Nana. He accepted.
It has been about two years since I have been to Nana and much longer for my wingman. And now, to me, that place sucks. I remember being new to Thailand in September 2005 and thinking it was the bees knees. Now I think, "Someone would really choose this shithole over Pattaya?
I asked a girl in the Nana car park how much for short time. She said 1200 (I used to pay 500 there. In Pattaya I pay 1000 for long time.) We then went around back to see if the Nana Hotel club was open. A freelancer spotted us going down the alley and thought we were going to our rooms. I said no, we are going to the club. She said the club was closed.
We then went across to the bar next to Nana Plaza that used to be Black Cat or something. There were chicks there (not attractive in the least bit) who appeared to be freelancers, but mentioned a bar fine.
We left there and went to the Grace Hotel car park. I asked one freelancer about the club inside. She said it was 500 baht to enter. I said bullshit. She told me to go in and check. Sure enough it was 500 baht. I don't know why I can't remember that I am not in Pattaya anymore where all of the clubs are free to get in. When I got back to the lot the freelancer offered me short time for 1000. I told her that I only do long time. She said she only does short time.
We decided to grab a taxi right there in front of the Grace and head back to the airport. When I told the driver that we were going to the airport he asked if I wanted him to use the meter. Of course. We had to pay 2 tolls (50,25 baht). When we arrived at the airport the meter read 239 baht.
