[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;1740981]I agree with Syzgies's advice. Start with Cowboy and Nana Go Go's recommended here on the forum. There is a reason why these places are well reviewed (CH, Baccara, SW, Shark, RB4, RB3, Mandarin, and Mercury).
That said, I decided to go barhoping on Patpong 2 one night in March 2015. It had been more than 10 years since I was last in a Patpong bar, but I was beginning to hear good things about a couple of establishments so I decided to check it out.
The 1st bar I went to was Bada Bing and it was by far the best bar of the night. The line up was very good. I am sure this joint would be very popular if it was located on Cowboy. As it was, they had some customers that appeared to be regulars and the vibe was laid back, but very friendly. An attractive, thin, tall, blond dancer smiled a she walked past where I was sitting and I invited her over for a drink. She was very friendly and sexy, if you know what I mean and I liked her, but then I made the mistake of the night: I did not barfine her! This later turned out to be my big 2015 regret, 555, because I think she would have been fine. Anyway, after a couple of rounds of Tequila, I made some dumb excuse like I had to see a friend or something and I told her I would come back to see her another night which I never got around to doing and which I deeply regret. We kissed goodbye and she smiled as I left her. It was a really dumb move on my part. I should have called an audible and cut short the Barhop.
Next, I went across the street to Electric Blue. This bar reminds me of Shark Bar on Cowboy a little with a similar layout and somewhat equal level of talent. Everybody was real friendly and eventually I invited a girl over for a drink. I was definitely not as attracted to this girl as I was to the Bada Bing girl, but I thought it was the right thing to do under the circumstances...[/QUOTE]Thanks for all the useful information, Natty Bumpo. I have some experience in Nana and Cowboy (I'm new to ISG, but this is my 5th trip to Bangkok). In the past I've particularly enjoyed Angelwitch, Spankys, Erotica, Suzie Wongs and Dollhouse, as well as Cherry, Dr BJs Salon and Nuru Massage. I'm not looking for the most beautiful young women, I prefer women in their late 20's or 30's who know how to fuck and are more grateful when they are chosen. Pretty much every time I've barfined the most beautiful girl in the room, I've been disappointed with her attitude and performance back at the hotel. Maybe I've just been unlucky with that type of girl.
If I can trust the photos on The Strip's own website, there are a number of women I'd like to try there, and the curtained booth concept intrigues me. So thanks for the info. It's good to know that I can go all the way with a girl in the booth, for a price. That's my only reason for trying Patpong (well, that and Star of Light, which I've never tried before. I have tried [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900][CodeWord900][/url], Afterschool and Toy Bar in the past). I may give Bada Bing and Electric Blue a look, since I'm in the area. But most nights I will stay in Sukumhvit.
It's interesting what you say about the door girls not being available for bar fine at Strip. I'd heard that they might be, and one of the girls I like the most is a door girl, so hopefully I can bar fine her. I will report back if it works.
Once again, thanks for the help!
