Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=Frankfurter]Just for your reference:

Last night I went to a birthday party of a Thai friend of mine near Udom Sak and Sukhumvit 105/2, Bang Na, that's near Central and the Big C. I had planned to stay overnight and take the bus back to Pattaya the next day. However there were so many people that I decided to get a cab at 2 p.m. and go back to sleep in my own bed. After some negotiating we settled on Bt. 1,100. The driver kept the meter on and at the bus depot on Pattaya Nua Rd. it showed Bt. 997.[/QUOTE]Frankfurter,

One an dumb ass taxi driver.

When you already agree on a fare, he should turn off the meter.

So did you paid the agreed fare or save 100 bht.

[QUOTE=DG69]Well, Syzygy X, I am not sure if there is a forum rule not to insult a special group of people, or single persons.[/QUOTE]No one can deny there's such a thing as cultural differences. Then within cultures there's also differences. Here in VN I saw an Indian walk into a hostess bar, and the girl I was with begged off of our having a drink because she said he was her really good customer. He was tall, handsome (in that Bollywood leading man way) and dressed classy, expensive watch, etc. My guess is he was a well-off businessman, probly upper class. This is not a guy who would try to shove his way to the front of a queue at 7-11. So there's also class differences and individual differences involved. I mean, imagine if Thais judged whites according to the English football hooligan types they saw in Pattaya. Humans seemed to be programmed to think in this irrational way, switching to "THEY" so easily and associating "they" with a particular race,automatically. But if a red cube doesn't roll down a slope, but a blue ball does, you don't think it's due to their colors. If a vast majority of balls you saw were blue, and cubes red, you might be forgiven for thinking so, but hopefully you'd still be able to figure out that it's not the color. But the shapes do correspond to 'culture' -- so as long as you realize there's variation in Indian culture -- strong trends but also significant deviations, then you're on the path to a healthier way of looking at it. IMHO.

I'll arrive downtown not before 2:30h am tomorrow night - any place to have fun that late?

Thanks for an advice,

Shamuc[/QUOTE]No, problem Shamuc. You will be out of airport within 30-60 min. Than take a taxi at the platform in front of the departure level (which is a level higher than arrival) and you will be in your Hotel in less than 30 min (guess it's along Sukhumvit).

So, it's now 4 qm maybe 3:30 am. Take a quick shower and take a taxi to Spicy at Rung Muang Soi 1, if you looking Ok and fit. You will not have a problem to find a pretty Freelancer.

If you are not more in the mood for a disco or club, just walk up and down lower Sukhumvit, there are quite pretty girls until early morning.

@Wendella, totally agree.

Hi Barko ,

After Hours If you’re not into the lame weekend crowds of the more popular After Hours places, check out Boss Club on Petchaburi 39. I went there for the first time last week. It’s surprisingly close as well to Suk Soi 4 as Petchaburi 39 is right by the Suk Soi 3 and Petchaburi Road intersection.

I heard that The Tunnel which has been closed for a little while, is re-opening next week. Will share more info. as it comes. Also, Lucky seems to be closed now so After After Hours is now dominated by Swing.

Other After Hours clubs: Bossy Club, Spice, and Spicy are still going strong and later and later every week, although Spice has been closed early a few times in the past few weeks. Farang speak too much!!

My first week in bangkok. Been quite busy with work but managed to get away and get a good massage. Visited Anne’s where the lady I had (katoon) told me it had been very quite of late.

I had a lady called Katoon for a 90-minute oil massage. Very sweet lady who is 26 but looks 21. Had a great time with her, nothing was too much trouble and she also seems to enjoy our time together. I can more than recommend her to people who are looking for a GFE with the benefits.

Cost was 1500bht plus 600bht to the house.

Many girls to choose from. Some finish work at 7pm others stay until later.

They also have a photo Album to flip through.

Enjoy

Sure its safe to go with the wife


[QUOTE=Studley]Hi folks. Will be visiting BKK with the wife very shortly.

And she is curious and wants to check out some girlie bars in BKK.

Is Soi Cowboy a safe place to take her? Any bars you folks can recommend.

She will probably just have a drink, watch me oogle at the girls and leave

I've made arrangements for a "meeting" the next day so I can get my soapy massage done l

Thanks

S[/QUOTE]I've been with my wife in Soi Cowboy in a few clubs. You'll see any evening a handful of farang ladies walking around with and without husbands.

We enjoyed Midnite. Try to sit in one of the booths on the left when you enter. This will give the girls a chance to get up close and personal with y'all in what will still seem a bit secluded.

I started my Thailand vacation yesterday. Wish to contribute on different issues at specific threads. As I am a newbie, although this is 3rd time for me in LOS, my reports will be from a newbie'e perspective.

Arrived in Bangkok (Subarnavumi International Airport) at around 2 PM. A different expereince from the start as I see many are wearing masks for H1N1 flu. Anyway, after immigration (which is always a easy process, if you fill out the Arrival Document Form properly and can answer a few questions from the immigration officer such as where are staying, how long etc.), proceeded to collect my luggage and walked thru the customs. If you have large size luggage, then they will scan again, but if nothing suspicious or you don't act weird, they will not ask to open your bags.

The arrival is on the 2nd level of the airport terminal. As you walk past customs, as you come out, you will see an Taxi/ Bus Booth (An AOT Booth) on your left and money exchange booth in front. Most likely you will see exit gates 2 or 3 in front you. I proceeded on the right, passed the awaiting greeters of incoming passengers, taxi hawkers etc. After walking past 2 minutes (I am still inside the terminal), there is Left Luggage office, right beside Tourist Police Office. The Left Luggage Office is managed by Chubb Inc., a private company. I left one of my 2 pieces of luggage as I won't be needing that for this part of the journey. The cost is 100 baht per day.

After this, I proceeded to 3rd level by escelators, where restaurants are, to eat my launch. Then I came down to the 1st level. Here as yoo walk towards your left you will moving towards gate number 8 (the last exit gate). Near the gate you will see Bell Transportation Booth for you to go to Pattaya. Near the gate, you will also see a booth for City Bus, the AE Bus Service (I am still inside the terminal and has not exited the building yet). In the City Bus Booth, I purchased a Ticket for Bus number AE3 to go to Sukhumvit. The Ticket cost 150 Baht. The Bus was waiting right outside the gate on the street and I didn't have to to take a Shuttle to go to another terminal. If you are travelling Solo and only have a piece of luggage, then it is a good way to go to Sukhumvit. Once inside the Bus, they will ask you where you hotel is and will drop you on Sukhumvit Road on the Soi (Thai for Road or Street) that you hotel is on. Then you have to walk to your hotel.

I am staying in the Swiss Park Hotel, More on this on the Bangkok Hotel Thread.

I arrived around 4:30 PM. Took a shower. Then started my day in LOS. As I walked on the Sukhuvit Road, there were lots of tourists, mainly Arabs and Indiand and of course Europeans mainly in couple or with familis strolling down the road and making walking on teh street bewteen the street vendors very difficult.
In my previous visit a year ago, I noticed many freelancers on the street. This time not so. Also, the quality of girls is not the same compared to last time I was here. I walked down to where the Robinson Department Store is near Soi 17 (or is it Soi 18), near Asok BTS Station (an elevated Subway Line), and then walked up to Nana Entertainment Plaza, near Soi three. On my way, I stopped at Beer Garden on Soi 7, a famous bar/ restaurant, where freelancers hang. Saw the place not crowded (but it was early). I did this (walking from NEP to/ from Robinsons Department Store) 5/6 times and my feet started to hurt. I was looking for a freelancer that would caught my eye but I got dissapointed as times passed. There are a few freelancers, along with lado boys, standing near the Sturbucks. I spoke to a few of them, and no one seem to interested for LT. So, I asked for ST rate, and they were quoting 1000 baht. I settled for 700 baht for one of them as it was near 9 pm.

We came back to the hotel. I was tired from long travel, from 2 hours of constant walking and I hadn't had s*x for 2 months. So, it was over quickly. Her attitude and performance was mechanical, so that didn't help either. Anyway, I let her go as per contract. Came down for dinner in one of many restaurants near the hotel. Then straight to bed.

More on the Hotel and Girl in Hotel & Photo threads respectively later.

In G-clubs you are entitled, as a membership (if you are), to consume certain quantities of drinks.

Can you invite some friends (non-members) to share the bottle of whisky with them without extra charge?

Are lady drinks included in these "certain quantities" or paid extra?

[blue]Greetings Everyone,

I recently cleaned up this thread by deleting a number of off-topic and otherwise antagonistic posts, as well as a number responses made by other forum members to these deleted posts.

This cleanup process is not perfect, and it's possible that I may have inadvertently deleted a few otherwise legitimate posts. If you find that your own report was also deleted, please don't take it personally.

FYI, the most prolific and antagonistic instigator in this thread has been returned to full moderation status, which I suspect will greatly reduce the discourse. In hindsight, I should never have removed him from moderated status a couple of weeks ago, but everybody makes mistakes.

Thanks,

Jackson[/blue]

[QUOTE=Spider916]Sure its safe to go with the wife[/QUOTE]

Well, except when the sword fights break out, of course.

;)

Ok. Here I go again. I realize that no newbies will benefit from my report if they are looking for message parlors that specializes in full service. I am more of a free lancer type of a guy. Save me the cost of buying drink which may or may not bring any result and also save me the cost of barfine if there is one.

The 2nd day I basically did some touristy stuff and visited my favourite mall of all places the Siam Paragon Center. I haven't seen this much contrast in wealth within so close of a distance. There are beggers on the street asking for baht, and you have the shops in this mall where a product is selling in 5 figure if not more. Beside that, its beautifull inside :)

Anyway, one other thing that I would like to mention is the exchange rates. It seems different banks/ agents give you different rate, which you can see tyhru the glass window. If you look at few of these exchange places, you may get a difference of 70 baht on the dollar. The one I find usually have better rates is the one opposite beergarden on Soi 7 or the one as you enter Soi 7, close to New Wave.

In the evening, I strolled around Sulhumvit again like the day before. There are few more girls this evening and quite a few them in from of Thermae, Soi 15. One of them smiles at me as I walk by and I return the favor. We talk a little on the side and she seems to have good attitude. We settle 800 for ST and head for our hotel.

Better performance and attitude then the day before. More on the Photo THread when I get a chance to upload the pictures.

Now to Phuket :)

Um.... that's quite a generous rate. ;)
