Posts: 76A Certain Type of Thai Girl
This is a question about non-pay-for-play Thai girls in BKK. I like to source a nice girl from TF and take her on a date which almost always leads to sex. I like Thai girls because they are pretty enthusiastic to fuck by the second or even the first date. On several occasions after a first date fuck, the girl leaves happy and I message her the morning to check in, and seek to set up another date. This is when she turns cold as ice. The cheerful attitude is replaced with a cold tone, complaining and few details about what the problem might be! To be clear, this is not due to some ungentlemanly behaviour on my part!
Has anyone encountered this, and if so, what explains the chance of heart? Usually Thai girls are keep to discuss a long term relationship and, of course, "my rent is due", but sometimes, I get the cold shoulder the next day.

Maybe. I'm not so sure, as my memory has been failing as years wear on. Sigh.

Too bad that CM2 & Nana Disco changed format, and Climax had shutdown. ND was an easy hunting ground for independent FLs before Nana Plaza closes, and then, for desperate gogo dancers hoping to catch a punter before calling the night or rather morning. Nowadays, they just stream out quick and onto taxi / bus without a glance at any potential monger on the sidewalk.
We really do need an after-hour playground with FLs and for BGs. (I've been pushing the head honcho at Thermae to open later, but he doesn't seem to have any pull left at Lumphini.).

Posts: 225Migration of LINE, WeChat, WhatsApp
Nowadays, most chat apps have online / cloud backup functionality, along with email registration / linking.

To answer your question: first of all, update your LINE app to latest version. Then, register your email, preferably Gmail (under Settings-Account). Next, back up your chat history (under Settings-Chats-Back Up and Restore). Install LINE on new mobile. Login to new LINE with linked email. Confirm migration, which will disable LINE on previous phone.
This process is almost same for WA & WC. For proof of concept, my LINE history goes back to 2014, WeChat to 2015, and WhatsApp to 2016, and I've upgraded smartphone every 2 years since.
For those with dual-SIM capable mobiles, I recommend activating dual messenger / apps function, so you can have 2 installations of same chat apps, which allows you to separate normal / home and p4 p / travel phone numbers, without having to carry 2 devices.

Posts: 651Help with transferring Line to new phone
I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I am coming to Thailand in 2 weeks. I have a new phone and want to set up my LINE account to it from my old phone. Several years ago I did it once before when I transferred from an older phone to the old phone. I was successful in transferring the account but could not transfer the messages and chats with my contacts. Some of the contacts could not recognize me without chat history.
Can someone walk me through or is there a website in English to help me? Or should I bring both phones to Bangkok and go the mall and ask for help?
Thank you in advance.

Posts: 7452Yes, Crazy House was always a big offender on that scam. Girls are pulling that scam in other bars around town now too. Or trying to. I've caught them trying to do it at Kazy Kozy. I mentioned it in a report a while back and that I left the bar and the lady I knew well from pre Covid days who tried to pull it on me and told the mamasan why I was leaving after only one drink and did not take the girl.

You and your friend definitely did the right thing by holding steady on No I Said One Drink For Now and making sure the server took one of those drinks back. Thanks.
For me, a girl merely attempting to pull that scam on me is enough for me to know she'd try to pull a scam in the room. I waved off a looker in Random Bar Nana Plaza and changed my mind about buying her a drink after I invited her to sit with me for that reason.
I am willing to give the girl a break if she just asks me if getting a "Tequila and Coke" is ok. As far as I know she might be under pressure by the bar owners to begin every new customer drink order that way. Then she has done her part and I will do my part by saying no just one drink for now.
But if she doesn't ask me if that's ok and just tells the server or as in your case she tries to argue the point, I'm done with her and possibly the whole bar for the night, week, month or longer. And I tend to mention that and why to the mamasan on the way out.

Posts: 458Haha that's awesome! Glad she pleased you, too. I think she deserves honorable mentions, not just for her no haggle pricing, but her enthusiastic service and performance, too.

Posts: 458A new world discovered
I feel like I've found the perfect balance between low prices and GFE sessions. And that's FiwFans.
After my not so great experience last time, I was "scolded" by another member who had given me advice on how to properly search for a good provider on Fiw. Mainly, to read through the reviews from top posters, find girls with a decent number and that are highly rated, and make sure there aren't any disparaging comments when reading between the lines.
Difficulties on fly first try
My first session was bad because I didn't do this. But trying to search this way was very cumbersome. Lots of the top reviewers will review girls in a specific area, probably close to where they live. I didn't feel like taking a 30-40 minute (each way) motorbike ride to and from the lady's location. I also found lots of ads were expired. So I just found a provider that was relatively close (5 min via motorbike) and 3 reviews.
After posting my disappointing experience, an ISG veteran reached out and persisted I give it another try. This time, really heed his advice on visiting a frequent reviewer's suggested girls.
FiwFans redemption
So following Breadman's advice, I sat back down in front of my computer and started going through frequent reviewers posts. The first few had reviews that were over 30 minutes away (via motorbike).
I finally found a decent girl (snow snow) reviewed by Zun Jin Woo https://fiwfans.com/profile/406rad2uzkpnlpe64 who's 8th on the review board list with 56 reviews. Unfortunately, booker for snow snow wasn't responding. I guessed that they might have other providers in that same area or even building. I clicked on the Agency (Thai Model Club https://fiwfans.com/agency/TM_ThaiModelClub) to check who else was available.
Taya https://fiwfans.com/sideline/406rad4t7krkkytz5 caught my attention. I stopped counting how many reviews she had after 50. Most were very good, with a review from Zun Jin Woo, too. So I booked her. The motorbike ride took about 15 minutes. I was going all in on this session and got 90 minutes for 1800 B, 2 shots. Location was near the BTS Sala Daeng station.
I was asked to wait in the hotel lobby and a description of what I was wearing. Then, I was told to go to the elevator so the girl can come get me, with a couple pictures sent for direction. I was very happy when the elevator door opened. She had an amazing, petite body with porcelain white skin. I got in the elevator and she grabbed my hand. She took me to her room (an upscale hotel) where we said our Hi's, undressed and showered. There was a good amount of DFK and BBBJ+BLS in the shower. This didn't feel much different from the Korean AAMP visits I frequented back in the states. After giving me a good wash, including B2 B on my back while reaching around and under to clean my shift, I dried off and lied on the bed while she finished.
She came back and got on top for some sensual DFK. This girl definitely knows what she's doing. Moved down for nipple sucking and BBBJ while kissing down to my knees. After a while, I asked for 69 where she tasted very clean. From there, she reaches over for the cover, applies gel and mounts me RCG. After pounding for few minutes, she arches her back, guides my hands to her rock hard Cs, and grabs her ankles as I'm pounding from below. She turns around for more CG. She really seems to enjoy me grabbing her breasts. She guides my hand there every chance she gets. As I'm getting close, I have her lie down on the bed for closed mish, my favorite finishing position for round 1. As I look into her cute almond eyes, and she staring back at me, we're making out, she's grinding away with moans of satisfaction. That sends me over the edge and I finish round 1. She gets up to clean me up and motions me to the shower for a quick wash before she starts a very light massage.
I usually don't like soft massages, but that's not what I was here for anyways. And it was a good way to fill the time til I was ready for round 2 as her English was almost non-existent. It actually felt really nice, as she sat her bare ass on my back. I could feel her raw pussy as she was moving up and down to massage me. I felt really comfortable and started dozing off. After about 30 minutes of massage, she started round 2 with more DFK and BBBJ. She applied the cover and mounted CG this time. Again, guiding my hands to her breasts. She moved to arch her back and I could get a better view of my dick going in and out of her. I brought her in close so I could hold her tight and feel her breasts up against my chest as I thrust from under her. She sat up and pulled me up with her for lotus position. When I was ready to pop, I motioned for doggy. She reaches over while I'm fucking her doggy and again, guides my hand to her breasts. It doesn't take me long to finish round 2.
At this point, about an HR has passed. Instead of hurrying me out the door, she gives me another brief shower and massages me for another 30 minutes, where I start to doze off again.
Summary
Definitely happy I gave FiwFans another try. I was planning on thermae tomorrow, but there's a good chance I'll just go to FiwFans instead. At about 1000-1200 B for 1 pop, it really can't be beat if you can find the right girl.
Once again, thank you Breadman and RacShack for insisting FiwFans can be good. I can definitely see myself using FiwFans on a regular basis as I stay here longer and longer. It reminds me of Brazil's clinicas in terms of quality and value. But with more privacy and more upscale.

Posts: 575Soi Cowboy
On my previous trips to Bangkok I've enjoyed visiting the massage parlours in the afternoon. Nataree was my favourite. Some seriously pretty girls in there. With Annie's deserving a mention for the levels of service provided.
But of course at the moment they're closed, so I had to resort to being a tourist. I booked a private cab from my hotel and went to visit the Damnoen Saduak floating market and then early evening took a lift up to the 74th floor of the Mahanakhon Tower, the tallest building in Thailand. The views were fantastic.
I wanted to visit Soi Cowboy in the evening. It was Thursday night so I expected the place to be buzzing.
I walked there from Nana, along Sukhumvit and just past Asok on the left is the famous strip. Normally when you turn on to the road you're greeted by a blaze of neon, like a mini Las Vegas, and dozens of gorgeous Hello, girls stand outside every bar. But tonight it looked darker and less exciting, just a series of outside beer bars.
I slowly walked down the street and wasn't particularly impressed. The talent levels were akin to walking through a beer bar complex in Pattaya. There were a few nice girls of course but normally when you walk down soi Cowboy you fall in love with about 15 girls in the space of three minutes!
I bar-fined my first ever girl in Asia from Dollhouse and one of the cutest I've ever slept with from Shark. Dollhouse was open but looked sleepy and Shark was closed.
Often the prettiest girls can be found in Baccara and there were two gorgeous Hello, girls sat there on stools. I walked inside. Downstairs was eerily empty but I was shown upstairs where I was delighted to see 15 girls dancing on the square stage.
I grabbed a stool and ordered a beer, which cost a ridiculous 190 baht. The ladydrinks are steep too, costing an eye-watering 230 baht. I don't mind paying a premium for drinks if I'm getting the premium experience but Baccara is simply a beer bar masquerading as a gogo bar at the moment.
However, I enjoyed watching the girls. They were nowhere near the standard of the young, pretty girls that usually crowd the stage here, but a few were nice. It's refreshing to be able to visit a gogo bar and have some kind of show to watch in these covid times.
'Where you from?' asked a chubby waitress before adding 'mind if I sit?' I was polite but distant, focusing my attention on the stage, and eventually she took the hint and left.
Five minutes later another waitress sat next to me. 'Where you from?' she asked. I might take a printout of FAQs with me to gogo bars in future.
When I left I noticed that the two stunners were still sat outside, their sole job no doubt to coax customers inside. To be fair, it worked on me!
I walked back down the street. Less bars were open than Nana. Moonshine, Dollhouse, Suzi Wongs, Tilac, Kozy, Country Road and Penny Black were all open, mainly with girls sat out front.
I've never been to Suzy Wongs, despite it being a famous name (isn't this the bar with the infamous 'naughty boys corner' There were some nice looking girls so I grabbed a stool and surveyed the talent. There was a 9/10 sat nearby but she looked bored and never met my gaze.
I was joined by my third Miaow of the trip, who was nice to talk to and refreshingly didn't harass me for a ladydrink. I asked her how much one cost and she told me 220 baht (at least my Chang only cost 90 in this bar). I told her they're too expensive but said I was enjoying talking to her so I would tip her instead.
A confident blond girl walked over and said '1 + 1', indicating I should buy both her and Miaow a drink. When she saw my unenthusiastic response, she took my right hand and tried to place it inside her bra. That's a tactic I've never seen before.
I gave my feline friend Miaow a tip and intended to leave soi Cowboy. The prices are expensive, the pressure for ladydrinks annoying and the quality of girls is average.
But as I walked towards the exit, a girl caught my eye.
She was sat outside Penny Black and she had a distinctive pale-skinned appearance with Japanese eyes and a Posh Spice haircut. I sat down next to her and immediately offered her a ladydrink. Her name was Aui, she was 24 and from a town on the Cambodia border. She also spoke excellent English and I really enjoyed chatting to her. She had an intelligence and inquisitiveness about her.
I really liked this girl. She was quirky and unique. But when I asked about her bar-fine I had the rug pulled from under my feet. She told me she didn't do barfines.
I finished my drink, thanked her for an enjoyable chat and left soi Cowboy, cursing what might have been.
My plan was to walk back to soi 7 and see if I could pick up a nice looker there, or maybe even G again.
On Sukhumvit there were lots of freelancers. I got propositioned by a masculine looking ladyboy outside Asok and another with pink hair and Jessica Rabbit breasts a little further on. I saw a beautiful girl with blond hair and the whitest teeth I've ever seen. She told me she was Filipino but when I enquired about prices she asked for 2500 short time! I walked away but was tempted to ask who does her dentistry.
'I give free massage' she called after me.
I should think so for that price!
I turned on to soi 7 and walked in to the beer bar complex. There were plenty of pretty girls but I decided I wanted to take G again. I went to her bar but she wasn't there. 'She not in work today' said another girl, which is usually bar-speak for barfined.
It was 10.15 and I couldn't be bothered going to Nana Plaza. Once again time was against me and I only had 45 minutes to find a girl. This 11 pm closing time is a killer.
I decided there was only one thing for it. To trawl soi 4 for a quickie.
There were plenty of girls but generally older. I was tempted by an unusual looking girl with curly hair but on closer examination she wasn't my type. Then I saw a girl I recognised. Or rather she recognised me as I've passed her several times on my recces up and down soi 4. She had a great figure, a great smile and gave me positive vibes she'd perform well in the bedroom. She was obviously keen for my business because she quoted just 1000 baht.
Her name was Pin and she was mid thirties. She kissed me passionately in my room and when she undressed she had big fake tits and bullet-like nipples.
'These fake' she said to me, stating the obvious, and invited me to feel them. I squeezed them. They were fake.
We lay on the bed and she rubbed her tits up and down my chest, something I love. She gave me an amazing blowjob, licking and teasing me, before climbing an top of me and riding me as I sucked her nipples. I leaned upright and we kissed before flipping her on to her back and banging her hard.
You 'ting tong' she said as I asked her to fuck me reverse cowgirl, a position I don't do often but enjoy. I just lay back and got hypnotised by her bouncing arse.
Her blowjob skills impressed me at the start of the session so I took my condom off and she sucked me to a shuddering climax, swallowing every last drop.
A night that could have been a letdown after my soi Cowboy frustrations ended up delivering some great sex.
This was my last night of four in Bangkok and overall I was disappointed. I'm the biggest fan of gogos in the world but Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy in these covid times were tame. Fewer girls, less quality, high prices, crazy ladydrink pressure and some girls didn't even go with customers. They were beer bars charging inflated prices.
Despite all that, I enjoyed going to them and could have happily bar-fined a number of girls. Yes there are significantly fewer girls than we're used to but there are significantly fewer customers too.
The beer bar complex on soi 7 was excellent and I enjoyed my missions up and down soi 4 looking for a freelancer. It's a shame I had to resort to street action but the gogos forced my hand.
I look forward to returning to Bangkok when covid is over, when Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are back to their former glories and when the soapies are back open.
This diary will continue on the Chiang Mai page. I have also filmed video diaries for this trip on my friends Youtube page. If you're interested, search for 'Eyes of Owen'.

Posts: 59Was there, mamasan asked for a drink. I ordered 1 for her. Order sheet came and wrote 2 LDs! Told mamasan and called the waitress, corrected it. Everyone smiled and things are fine again.

Posts: 324Crazy House - 2 LadyDrinks BS
Went to Crazy house for the first time since Soi Cowboy reopened with 1 friend. We were there about 15 minutes when he motions for a girl that is dancing on the stage. She acknowledged him and basically said when she is done her few minutes on the stage she will be over.
When she appears he agrees to a Lady Drink and within seconds appears the Tequila and Coke which is 360 baht and of course 2 Lady Drinks. He points at it and says "I said you can have 1 drink". As the waitress is still there she takes away 1 of the drinks and corrects the bar tab to 1 lady drink. No big deal, everyone was smiling and all was OK.
I do the same to another girl about 15 minutes later. She comes over a few minutes later and asks for 2 lady Drinks. I say 1 is enough for now. She says 2 lady drinks!. I say yes I heard you the first time but 1 lady drink is a good starting point. She grabs the menu and points to the Tequila and Coke = $360. I just start shaking my head and say 1 drink. In a puff and smoke she takes off. I watched her for the next hour or so and she did not get 1 lady drink in that time.
I had a quick look around and possibly about half the lady drinks sitting on the tables were the infamous Tequila and Coke = 2 lady drinks. I guess that is the default BS at Crazy House.
I will probably visit Crazy House annually, like I have been doing. Crazy House is OK but it isn't worth 360 to drink with a girl, that is just taking the piss!

Posts: 7452My Sunday Night Bar Hop and on LDs for Bargirls
Hey, SinfullyKorean, it was fun exploring around town with you. I hope our island hopping friend is doing well. I will employ your "ask how much on a night when you're probably not taking a girl anyway, walk away, then hit her up again on a night when you are interested in taking a girl" tip and trick for reducing those asking prices at Thermae and such, if I have properly characterized it. If not, let me know. Good idea. As you know, I am more interested in adding a particular service that isn't usually on the menu rather than reducing the asking prices. And on that mission, I find hitting them with what I would want in exchange for their quote or near their asking price right away upfront when I am ready to "buy" works best for me. But no reason not to employ both approaches if the timing is right!

Personally, I always thought she stopped about 2 long, slow finishing up strokes too soon to be considered a real Star at the service. And she would improve on that if I mentioned it upfront before she began. But if I didn't mention it upfront, she'd "forget. " Anyway, SK, I am looking forward to whatever you find out about her these days. I might head over there to re-visit her again myself soon.

But, no. I just wasn't feeling it.
Went upstairs to Rainbow 5. There were fewer girls there this time but still several very cute ones. Maybe 4 customers in the place at about 9 PM. I was getting a big smile from a lovely one sitting next to the stage. So, after a bit of joking and fun with the server and mamasan who recognized me from many times before, I gestured to buy her a LD and she acted like she couldn't believe I wanted to buy her one. Very excited and happy about it. We adjourned to a quieter side booth. She seemed thrilled that I could speak some general Thai language and phrases, being able to chit chat about our names, where we're from and so on in Thai. However, after the LD arrived, she was all about checking her Line messages and whatever else on her phone, no cuddling, no response to my placing a hand on her leg, whatever. After about 5 minutes of that, I told her she was so busy on her phone, I'm going. I paid the check bin, walked out and made a point to tell the mamasan that girl is too busy on her phone, bye.
As usual after I've done something like that in response to crap behavior or service with a girl, I think how lucky the next customer who chooses that girl is going to be! You're welcome, whoever that guy was. LOL.
Rode my motorbike over to Soi 7. Made the horseshoe cruise through the bars, fending of all the usual grasping and grabbing, girls trying to entice, well, force me to sit with them for an LD and more. Then a slim, light skin, cute one I'd seen in the line up at Thermae a few times in the past caught my eye and my attention. I decided to sit at her bar for a moment. Right away there was some cuddling and neck sniff-kissing with her. So I asked if she barfined. Yes.
She quoted 3,000 for ST and she doesn't like LT. Since she mentioned how much without my asking, I went for it too; kissing on our lips with tongues touching? Yes. Shaved here (pointing slightly to her pussy), like me to kiss kiss there? Yes. Boom boom no condom, ok mai? Major hesitation, non-committal. But she was ok for BBBJ+CIM. Then I bought her an LD while we both thought about it a little more. By the end of that one LD, her answer to my boom-boom no condom question was Yes and she was fine with 2,500 baht ST. Barfine was 600. Off we went back to my room.
Things went well, not great. I really do prefer Long Times for their lack of time pressure. It is a much more relaxed and therefore spontaneous experience for me, which works best for me these days. Almost immediately after entering my room she asked if I have Line and that she would be very happy to spend her holiday nights with me, no barfine, no LDs and she'll stay all night.
There has been a lot of discussion in the Pattaya Reports forum lately about the value or not of buying LadyDrinks for bargirls. There always seems to be more interesting P4 P philosophy discussions in that forum vs this one. But I'm not a Pattaya guy really so I can't speak from much experience over in that forum. Maybe Pattaya is totally different in certain ways. I much prefer Bangkok. Of course, I live in Bangkok, so that's one reason.
Anyway, I feel I learned quite a bit from the 2-3 LD purchases I made just last night; At the first bar stop I learned a girl whose promotion to me was very nice just wasn't doing it for me chemistry-wise while we shared a drink for 15 minutes or so. At the second bar stop I learned a lovely girl who came on with a big, inviting smile had no concept of service, behavior or attitude in exchange for money. My buying her an LD prompted her to do nothing but play on her phone. I have no doubt from past experience that if I'd just barfined and taken her based on my attraction to her and her big, inviting smile to me, there is no way any amount of money offered would have changed her attitude towards me or improved service to anything of value for me in the room.
And at my third bar stop that one 200 baht LD purchase converted a no answer, non-committal upfront response to my boom boom no condom question into a Yes and, in my judgement, her hardline 3,000 baht ST quote into a 2,500 baht agreement. And, once in the room, she's put a no barfine, no LD purchase Long Time with her on the table for me to enjoy on her days off. Which, from what I understand, can be just about any night I want. For me, those LD purchases last night were 600 baht well spent.
As always, YMMV.
