[QUOTE=Scorchin;1797338]A chance for the experts!

Opposite the Beer Garden, soi 7 - there was a good place for a fresh fish meal. In an open Dutch Barn. Gone to a building site.

Does it still exist in another location. Or where to get a reasonably price fish meal in the area?

As to first impressions. What tourist shortage? Everywhere was humming, more FLs around that I have ever seen, bars packed, restaurants busy. After failing at the fish place I went into the Beer Garden. Packed with WGs who were much more blatant than usualin rtheir approaches.[/QUOTE]The food court terrace is gone!

Aside from Middle Eastern the food in Lower Suk is pretty awful. Want a really good seafood meal? There is a fabulous pojana between Phrom Phong and Thonglor BTS stations on the south side of Suk. Right before where the old Rex Hotel used to be and after the PI Embassy. Amazing fresh seafood, great prices, and other great Thai Chinese dishes. Opens about 630 and stays open till 2 am. Can't miss it.

Tourist numbers have picked up a bit in the last week, but it's still pretty slow I'd say.

Get out of Lower Suk and local restaurants are really hurting. One of our favs on Soi 101/1 is usually packed every night with folks waiting for a table. Last two visits, there were only two other tables besides us. Economy is dragging. But that should be good for mongering.

If you want to try an outdoor / locals type place try down near the highway in what I would call the Suk soi 1 area (before the Phloen Chit BTS.) Plenty of tables and grills a-going. There are also a bunch of food carts across Suk in what I would call the soi 0 area.

SL.

I walk much of Sukhumvit and the occasional side soi in the afternoon. Nothing much changes.

The same elderly men, now increasingly older after my first visit 15 years ago, line the front of the bars facing the pavement with the first of many beers as the day wears on;.

Other elderly men walk dutifully behind their 'Thai wife" knowing that the shopping will be expensive and take a long time;.

The same young tourists walk along the sidewalks looking embarrassed as they are accompanied by a young Thai lady who has turned out to be quite as beautiful as she looked in a darkened bar the night before;.

The same ladies in ridiculously high heels and equally ridiculous hot pants offer the passing Arabs pleasures of the flesh that must make the seventy two virgins waiting in heaven something to delay;.

The same five or six Germans sit at a one bar re-fighting World WarII as I swear they did many years ago.

Nothing changes!

Or have I missed something?

Hi,

Have been seeing on the internet a site fantasy. Domination. Com. Has any one used girls from there. Are they genuine and safe? What will be the normal charges for girls from such sites?

Thanking in advance.

Regards

Which happens to be pretty expensive here.

So may I request you to give more details about this place.

Can you give a screengrab from Google maps of the place? Or a soi or phone number or a rough map please.

Many things have changed. Keep looking.

I do not do street walkers; I have to much fear of a host of problems and I do not go that route.

As to cuties. No better / no worse and the introduction of big *rs*the African women adds variety.

.[/QUOTE]Stop worrying about the cost. If it gets too expensive, folks will go somewhere else. This is a market place, prices will adjust accordingly over time. And don't forget about inflation, it causes prices to increase over time.

My "ThaiFriendly" GF from Chiang Rai and me were in Bangkok yesterday and before going back to the hotel, we decided to have a look at Soi Cowboy. A very large number of girls in very skimpy clothes were lining the street but very few (farang or other) visitors were to be seen. Only Baccara was doing good business and as my GF wanted to see the glass floors there, we tried to get in but could only do so if we bought a drink beforehand.

Inside the place was packed and we had to move to the econd floor to get some space to sit. The "music" was painfully loud and most of the girls were rather ugly with bad nose jobs and too obviously enhanced breasts, out of proportion with their body.

Next we moved to Suzi Wong: here the girls were beautiful, but the place was nearly empty at around 9:30 PM. When my GF started to compare her "assets" with those of the dancers, I found it safer to move back to our hotel and told her that she was in all respects at least equally beautiful as these dancers and on top of that much more horny, which then resulted in another night of hot sex with her.

Now I'm waiting in the lounge at Suvarnabhumi for my flight home. I'm aching all over from my nightly exertions with her. Perhaps at my age I shouldn't pick up a 16 year younger LBFM anymore.

Goatscrot, I think the restaurant you are talking about is Saeng Chai Pochana Thai Restaurant and Chinese Restaurant 762/5-6, Sukumvit Rd. (between Soi 32-34). Yes?

The thing is there are many really great places to go. I don't know where to begin. Here are a a few places I liked on my last trip.

Ban Rie Coffee is a large indoor / outdoor restaurant offering an interesting menu of real good Issan food including various steamed, fried, and grilled whole fish dishes. This sprawling restaurant is on the NE corner of Ekamai (soi 63) and Sukhumvit. You can't miss it. At night they feature live Issan music. This is a good place to take a girl.

More upscale is Ruan Songnaree on Soi 33. This is a very elegant place. It is very good for special dinners.

But I like to eat at store front and roll away restaurants too. There are so many all over BKK. Occasionally I find one that stands out as particularly good like the no name restaurant on Sukumvit between Soi 55 and Soi 57. They have really fresh seafood which they prepare simply and honestly. Its really tasty. I took a M and A, two of my Go Go girls there a number of times. They really liked it. So did I.

As Natty said, Saengchai Potchana.

As Goat said, definitely get out of the farang ghetto and eat some decent food. That's true everywhere. Whether it's Thailand, Tijuana, San Jose or San Francisco. Don't eat where the tourists eat.

[/QUOTE]Can you please share a link to google maps / streetview.

I tried to figure out what you mean but found nothing similar to the previous semi-open air restaurants in Suk 7.

Duang Phitak from the Sukhumvit Junction south does not look that nice. Eating in the exhaust smoke of the traffic jam? Not what I'm looking for. So maybe you refer to something else?

I had been to this place near Asok. Think food was fine if I remember right. Not so big selection than the Suk 7 one, but was fair:

Uncertain whether it still exists.
