[QUOTE=DaVinci2;2861221]I'm headed to BKK for the weekend, but got a little itch for some Filipino action too. Anybody know any particular places I might strike gold?[/QUOTE]You are in luck.
70% of Thai Bargirls look Filipino. Aka as Black Thais. I'm not making this up.

Sometimes it said it was rainning ATM but it wasnt, maybe in other parts of BKK it was? So pretty inaccurate LOL.
[QUOTE=MachchiBaba;2860747]My trip is booked in two weeks, but I am yet to book a Hotel. I am astonished at the current prices on Expedia and Priceline. Thus far, I have always been lucky to find an affordable deal on any of those three 5 Stars (four if you count Center Point) between Nana & Asok. The Junior Suite in Hyatt Regency is currently going for $410 a night, that is $3 k a week, that is insane. I suppose demand is likely driving all this (On one hand uncle Powell wants to bring down inflation, the hot-hot economy, and contrarily in Bangkok it seems economy is going up and up fueled by the west. It is believed uncle Powell is done raising rates and now higher for longer will cut down on disposable spendings or better yet loose some jobs. But Bangkok tells a different story on the macro. Some one should send him the Bangkok Hotel prices chart for the last one year, it looks pretty steep to me. He might use it to increase another percent point this November. LOL.[/QUOTE]Have seen some good deals on Agoda, but yes, generally the prices have been going up and up.

Best place for new years eve? Phuket, pattaya or Bangkok?
[QUOTE=IntBond0;2861369]Best place for new years eve? Phuket, pattaya or Bangkok?[/QUOTE]Every night is NY Eve in Bangkok, except cheaper.
I love the fireworks.

I use gore tex or an umbrella, or just say in my condo and call for take out if I need it.
[QUOTE=IntBond0;2861369]Best place for new years eve? Phuket, pattaya or Bangkok?[/QUOTE]What do you mean by best? Best to me if where I am with the best looking girl. I don't waste money on overpriced fancy dinners on NYE.
I only know Pattaya NYE and if it's fireworks you want it's pretty unique. If you are on Beach Road near Central Festival you get to see 360 degree fireworks. In front of you along Beach road, to the left at Bali Hai Pier, to the right from somewhere around Dusit Thani, and behind you from 3rd Road (I have to say I was pretty impressed the first time saw them in 2015. Didn't seem as long a display when I watched them in 2022.
Advice. If you really want fireworks go when the Fireworks competition is on in the Summer. Around 4 nights of amazing extended fireworks displays.
[QUOTE=BigBear;2860274]Yes I am looking for someone to help me out. If someone would be a fucking homie and connect with me, I'd appreciate it! Like I said, I am looking for help around understanding it.[/QUOTE]I spend *way* too much time reading the traffic in online forums devoted to a variety of special interests. I'm old enough to remember Usenet newsgroups in the Nineties, and before that dial-up bulletin boards. It seems to me there are some universal rules that apply no matter what the forum or the topic under discussion.
The rule that applies here says that people who are new to the forum should respect the efforts of those who have taken the time to post useful information. At a minimum, that means doing your homework by reading a representative sample of old posts, which will usually provide a solid baseline of knowledge. If you make an effort and *still* have questions, netiquette dictates that you frame them specifically and ask them individually.
The classic example of what *not* to do: (A) Falsely claim to have "read the forum." (B) Ask for a tour d'horizon. "I've read all prior posts here regarding using a handgun for self defense, but I have some questions. What kind of gun should I buy? What's the best calibre? How does one carry concealed? Do the laws permit me to use the gun to protect myself? Can anybody recommend a dealer?"
You get the idea.
I'm not picking on Mr. Bear. He's just latest chap to wander into the forum and make a common mistake.
That said, I'll dispense a little advice here in the Bangkok forum. He should stay in a hotel near the BTS Skytrain Green Line, between stations E1 to E5. He should spend at least two nights checking out the go go bar scene on Soi Cowboy and at Nana Entertainment Plaza. He should take a look at the freelance girls who hang out in front of the Nana Hotel. He should check out the massage places on Soi 24. He should at least make a lap through Thermae some evening about 2100. I don't like to find girls online. But if he's so inclined, he should read the reports about ThaiFriendly and the escort services.
Old Bangkok Hands will know this barely scratches the surface. But it's a solid start for a guy on his first visit.
Bunky

As slow as the Bangkok thread is I appreciate guys asking the same questions over and over and over Again.

I've always wondered if there was a Rush to barfine the 3's and 4's at the end of the night.
Were the Nana Rainbow girls who get No action during prime time Scooped up at Closing.

[/QUOTE]Having known a bunch of bargirls personally, while there are a few girls who get barfined a lot, there are lots (even lots of reasonably attractive girls) who get barfined on the order of once a week, or even once a month. They're not unattractive girls, some are very attractive, just girls that aren't as pushy.

Some are just down right Mean Looking. Snagglepusses. Guy can read the Bad Vibes.
While some who seem Kinda Ugly get Barfined all the time. Go figure!
Where does Nana Schoolgirl fit in all this. If some of you think she is Pretty she must have Customers. Hahaha. Hahaha.
