Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=DRRonin;1258347]Have you or others been in Nana Liquid of late? It was taken over late last year by the owners of Billboard and Las Vegas and so I had hopes that they might turn it around. One girl who works in Billboard told me that the owners encourage the girls to go there after hours and that if they get guys to buy them drinks, they get the same as they do if someone buys them a drink in the go-go. Keep meaning to go but never seem to get around to it.[/QUOTE]The couple of times that I have been to Liquid I could count the number of people on two hands. It was pretty empty. Nothing like the old Angels Disco. There was a live band. My experience was totally different from Pink Pearl's. I guess YMMV with this place.

Nana Liquid is a waste of time. Barely any available girls and the live band is loud and bad.

Hi Gentleman and Ladies,

LBM[/QUOTE]Songkran is 12-15, so if the bars are closed 8-10, everyone will be ready to party.

EU[/QUOTE]Was there last week for a short spell daytime.

Seemed to me that Soi 33 was a bit quiet and so was the Sport Lounge, surprisingly as at dinner time it should be more equipped.

Will not take long before I can check again, including night time.

About what's new at LL it all depends when you were there last time.

In Bangkok now for 5 days. My tailor and the hotel guys all told me that they expect political trouble during Songkran. I don't know how accurate their prediction is but they live here. Have backup plans if airport is shut down or something.

Does anyone have any info regarding massage parlors snow white and annies, will it be closed like mango massage from April 13 to April 17?

Thank you.

I have been when it was suppose to be dry and still gotten served in places.

I have been dutifully reading the forum in preparation for a business trip to BKK. My model for a business trip is based on my Medellin experience, where life at the Mansion introduces a "can't fail" aspect to any particular day (or night!).

I thought that LL would be the Thai equivalent of the Mansion, but when I look at Giotto's forum, there is hardly anything written in the last few years. I am delighted that Giotto himself is still in business, but I have no idea if the Lodge is still an exciting and fun place. There really are very few reports, although there are clearly still people who like the place.

My impression is that LL is particularly good for those of us who do not know the city, but that the girls / BF at the sports bar (as well as Soi 33 in general) are probably a bit overpriced. That being said, Giotto himself has a treasure trove of information that he happily shares with his guests concerning other venues.

Is this a fair summary? Has anyone been there recently who could shed some light on this?

I thought that LL would be the Thai equivalent of the Mansion.[/QUOTE]I don't think it is wise to make this sort of comparison. LL is a place to stay that is in amongst a street with many Massage Places and Sports Bars. Failure to choose a suitable girl, with the right chemistry, is certainly possible. LL Sports bar attracts girls who want to work in a classier place than a go-go bar but don't want to do massage where they have little opportunity to refuse customers. LL Sports bar gives nice fun guys a chance to hook up with girls where a good chemistry exists, and helps these girls pay the rent too. LL is a relaxed laid back place, like an Oasis in the middle of a city, where can eat breakfast even when it seems to be lunchtime.

The girls in these places are mostly not likely to be porn-stars, but may still be suited to the customer if the chemistry is right. These girls don't last for a long time if they are really great, because they are mostly looking for a western boyfriend / husband and many of Giotto's girls have been indeed stolen away by customers. I don't know anything about the current set of girls there.

If you stay at LL and don't find the right girl in the sports bar, or they are too shy for your taste (assuming you look for wild and very experienced girls) , then there are plenty of other options around, like nearby Massage Parlours, or go-gos with naked girls in Soi Cowboy.

For a really almost cannot fail experience, check out reports about famous Oily Massage Places like Mango, Snow White, and Tulip. Wayward porn-star girls from there can be taken away for the night too.

Forgive me if I misinterpret your desires, but Latin girls seem like wild go-ers to me.

It is not the cheapest place but it is more than worth it's price. There is no requirement that you have to get the girls from the Sports Lounge. (BTW the barfine goes down after midnight or so). I have stayed many times and I would recommend it highly. Where else you can get a mentor for free, who can give you all the insights of BKK night and day scenes.
