2 hours in the Afternoon in Bangkok, Where Would You Go?
If you only had 2 hours in Bangkok to play, where would you go?
Background.
I've never been to Thailand / Bangkok before and this is my only open window: a Wednesday from 1:30 pm-3:30 pm.
I've never had a Nuru massage, or visited a BJ Bar, but plenty of massages. I'm looking for specifics; like Mango, Vovo, Addicts, Doki Doki, Aurtora, Snow White?
I'd love to visit Nana Plaza, but the bars don't open until later. So if you had one (maybe 2 if I'm lucky! To experience something fun in Bangkok, where would you go?

If I had extra money to spend, I can visit Aries for a full massage + sex experience with 2 hotties.
I think Phrom Phong is good
[QUOTE=JoseFlores;2950332]1) Do you have a sense of price range per night (of recent stays and if you remember the guest policy)?
2) I am now considering staying somewhere between Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza. And perhaps using short term motels / hotels when needed (I generally do this for safety but it might be unnecessary in SEA? I assume that's the area you mean? Though I am getting the sense prices in Thailand (and other SEA countries) are actually quite high compared to LaTam?
3) FYI: I'm a bit on odd and I love the heat. But I also love being right in the zone (cheapest action zone I can find ideally). I will visit the expensive areas too but would rather not stay there if possible. For some context, and if you are familiar with Medellin, I've stayed both right by Parque Lleras and Botero Plaza but would rather be right near Botero Plaza (cheaper but a bit more dangerous, dirty, etc).
4) Any other info you might have on SEA would be appreciated. I plan to visit Vietnam too. I was considering other countries like Cambodia, Laos, and maybe the Philippines but I am not so sure they would be much cheaper than Vietnam? I read India can be quite cheap but that also seems like an entirely 'nother beast. My trips are entirely focused on low cost for everything (food, accommodations, entertainment, etc). And I'm not in a rush. This trip in SEA will be 6 months long. Maybe longer if I like it, maybe a little less if I really hate it (doubtful though. I will just explore other countries if Vietnam + Thailand are really not my thing).[/QUOTE]People will disagree, but in my opinion and in my own personal experience, Phrom Phong is where it's at. In one of my older Bangkok trips where I did wrong, I stayed too far from the main road and too far from any of the action. My last trip I did some actual research and stayed literally right by where all the massage places in Phrom Phong are. And right by that area were 2 malls, which gave me access to everything one could need in Bangkok. Sim cards, phones, currency exchange, atms, food courts, condoms, sidegra, sunscreen and so much more. Granted the sidegra was to be found in a small mom and pop pharmacy nearby the mall, but the point is the mall is the beating heart of getting anything done in Bangkok. Odds are it'll be at a BTS station too.
I'm super old, but I spent my nights walking to Soi Cowboy, and Nana. And then back again to Phrom Phong. Not to mention all the massage places in between Phrom Phong and Cowboy. And nearby terminal 21.
So besides the cardio from fucking hot Thai chicks, you get plenty of exercise from the walking too. And if you get tired of going that way, if you walk the other way is nearby Thonglor which also has some massage places. I always swear by Phrom Phong. And if you care about parks, there's benchasiri park literally right there. And a small little tokyo type area where I got my haircut.
Since I was last there, apparently another mall has opened. The Emsphere. I tell ya dude, by Beelzebubs balls, if I ever get to go back to Bangkok again, I'm staying at or near Phrom Phong. Granted the hotel I stayed at wasn't the greatest, checking out time they gave me some hassle, but overall it was good. But Phrom Phong has so many affordable options, hotels, service apartments, etc. You'll be spoiled for choice. Next time the cheaper options are for me cause I ain't getting escorts or bargirls anymore, so I won't be needing anything too nice. If there's a next time for me, it'll just be massage places. That's it. I'm done with the escorts, and the nana cowboy bar girls. My experiences with them over the years have just been ok. And nowadays they're no longer budget friendly. With the chicks in massage places, it's still well within what I can afford and am willing to pay.
Though, I'm hearing good things about patpong these days. And that's the other thing, with the BTS, patpong is just a short subway ride away. And you can't go wrong with Grab. I tell ya dude, the best parts of my last trip was the fact that when I got up, after I had a good meal at the mall, I just walked over to the massage places and took my time picking where I wanted to go, and which chick I wanted to fuck. It was heaven. It reminded me of my Geylang days, but cheaper. It reminded me of my Bahnhofsviertel days, but cleaner. It was like my Prague days, but hotter. Like my London Soho days, but much less stair climbing.
Then I had dinner, and repeat. On some nights to change it up, I would go to nana, cowboy or patpong. But most nights, it was just Phrom Phong. I read that the girls of my favorite haunt have moved closer to terminal 21, which is still fine by me, cause from everything I've read, there's so many new places that have opened up since 2022. And they're all mostly located between Phrom Phong and Nana.
By Beelzebubs balls, just talking about this makes me want to go back so bad. But I just can't. Not meant to be in 2024. Woe is me. Woe is me.
