Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=Skogis; 1410308]As Mr Enternational tells you it depends on your airline and if your airline has bothered to buy this service at the airport. Some airlines have this service written on the ticket and some gives you a tag you have to show. But the last couple of years I have rarerly experienced any que in the normal immigration lines so even if I mostly travel on C-class I go through this one. Fast track or not you have to wait for baggage to arrive anyway (atleast most mongers tend to have a checked in bag filled with sextoys I believe). Lately I have had atleast same waiting time in the fasttracklane than in the normal line. You will hit one of the normal immigrationscheckpoints first except if your airline dock approx in the middle of concourse D (where the fast track is located).

I have not managed the last 2 years to spot a time during the day worse than other when we speak of lines crowded by people. I think BKK has become an asian airport with high standards which runs smoothly all day long. If you want to travel back in time you should try go to Manila and you will hit 3 world standards airportwice (maby ex terminal 3).

Happy mongering.[/QUOTE]Does it matter if a person is flying on Thai Air in Business Class? Is the arrival time at 10 pm a "slow" period? When arriving late in the evening, there seems to be a lot of other planes arriving from around the region and the arrival area is rather busy for that time of night. I can't imagine a bigger rush in the afternoon. My average has been about 40-45 minutes from touchdown to getting out of the customs.

I fly first on EVA (premium laurel) and my last trip the fast track people picked me up at the gate as I was leaving the plane with a golf cart and whisked me through. Only delay was the bag off the carousel but that was only a few milutes.

I am often in Nana area appr 1hr after touch down and I fly business class, most of the times, as Isue the fast track. The only critical moment is entering the town at appr 7/9 am, but this has nothing to do with the airport

[QUOTE=Phordphan; 1410183]Well, the good news is I got to ogle some of the most beautiful working girls I've ever seen in BKK outside of the Ratchada MPs.

The bad news is that I was strolling down Soi Thaniya while doing it.

Man, talk about feeling invisible. I don't think I could get arrested on that soi. Exactly one girl looked at me, smiled and waved. The rest just looked through me as if I weren't there.

Unfortunately, I wasn't invisible to the touts. One particularly insistent female tout insisted the girls did like farang. But I wasn't a buyer at that time, anyway, so it didn't matter.

It was rather fun, and a reality check. I will say I'll never look at the slappers in Soi Nana the same way again. LOL[/QUOTE]Now that the yen is tanking against the baht, it will be interesting to see how it effects biz at Thaniya. Probably be even more of them in Thermae if that is possible. The number of Non-Japanese Asian dudes participating in the P4P scene has increased geometrically over the last year. I was out and about last night and was stunned at the number of Korean and Chinese guys that were strolling Suk with their working girls in tow. Also amazed at how many of the gals with them were not that good looking. Sad thing is that I am sure most of these guys are paying top dollar. Just wait to see what effect that has on the market and with more and more Chinese coming, yesh! Must mention that the only freelancer place that had lookers was Thermae, but of course the chicks I am interested in are Japanese only and probably would not rim me, or provide the kind of service I expect. Bangkok Beat was awful. Old dudes and older gals. Of course it is Songkhran and lots of gals go home. All in all a pretty dour.

[QUOTE=Csun213; 1410260]If not, I was also told by someone else that there are actually 2 custom stations and if I see the first custom station with a lot of people, just keep walking and there should be a 2nd custom station about 5 minutes further down which should be shorter.

Thanks for any help.[/QUOTE]Not customs, but Immigration. They have now installed flat screen monitors at the entrance to the Immigration halls, so you can see how "good" or "bad" the waiting is at the other hall, so you can take an informed decision whether or not to walk to the other hall.

[QUOTE=Goatscrot;1410436]Just wait to see what effect that has on the market and with more and more Chinese coming, yesh![/QUOTE]Not going to be a major factor. China already has literally millions of prostitutes at every imaginable price level. The experience is usually inferior to Thailand (more quick / mechanical) , but still, you won't see hordes of sex-starved men from China coming down to Thailand specifically for sex. Those at the bottom of the pile are too poor to travel, and those in the middle / upper classes have enough poon already. For them it's more of a side-show if they go to Bangkok on holiday or business.

Not related to girls, but a guy's got to eat sometime.

Had a tip that the view was nice at the Residence Arun, so decided to try it yesterday (Friday). Had to Google it and find the address. GF and I decided to taxi over instead of drive. Got there about 7:15 and the place was really busy. Sat upstairs, as the downstairs was full.

Their claim to fame is two decks that overlook the Chao Phraya. The view of what Arun at night is quite nice. And watching the boats cruise up and down the river, while sipping drinks, is enjoyable.

Speaking of drinks, they have a huge specialty cocktail menu. The bartender seems to know his shit. My Daiquiri was done very well, and that's not easy to find here. I don't use Triple Sec, but that's a minor quibble. GF had something with gin and maraschino cherry, forget the name, it was done properly, too. Price was about 170 per. Not bad for a properly mixed cocktail, and light years better than the $20 shit they pawn off on the tourists at Sky Bar. Stupid ass bartender at Sky Bar couldn't mix a mojito if his life depended on it. Of course the view isn't the same, so there is that.

We stayed for dinner. The place has an Italian theme (but plenty of generally farang dishes, too) , and Thai available. We opted for the farang. The guys next to us were eating Thai and it, too, looked really good. We split the grilled mushroom appetizer, which was quite good. Special note. Unlike some farang oriented places in TH, they know to bring the appetizer FIRST, and the entrée second. I had the grilled red snapper with dill cream sauce, she had the duck leg confit. Both were quite good and properly cooked. We split an orange crepe for dessert. I thought the strawberry and nut flavor ice cream clashed a bit with the orange sauce, but overall it was good. Tip. The ice cream is homemade and very tasty.

So. 2 cocktails. 1 appetizer. 2 entrees. 1 dessert. Damage (including service charge and VAT) was just under 1, 800 baht. Not the most expensive meal in BKK, certainly not the cheapest, but very good value for money. I also noted that about half of the clientele were Thai.

That was one end of the spectrum. The other was lunch today (Saturday). We checked out of the condo and drove to her house near Rangsit. We stopped for lunch at her favorite noodle place, which is also my favorite. It's one of those dumpy-ass fake boat looking things in the mosquito breeding ground, err, canal.

Lunch consisted of 2 bowls (the bowls are small) of "boat noodles," two bowls of "dry noodles," one dish of khanom jeen, a plate of pork balls, two bottles of est cola and a couple of tiny dishes of some coconut dessert which I can't spell. The boat noodles are some of the best I've eaten. Left stuffed. Total damage. 150 baht.

I couldn't find the noodle joint on a bet, but if you are looking for a good place to take your GF du jour, you could do worse than the Arun Residence

[QUOTE=AliGeeLi; 1409079]I have to share this with you guys. Instead for going for freelances like usually (currently got one, really nice, with 3000LT damage, which keeps returning. For the money I am afraid. But a young and fresh lady, appearing very innocent and insecure. And from Isan of course. I went today to the massage parlor ANNIE's, where so many people talk about.

Here is my report, and I really believe it should also be seen by BGK report people not "Annie's fanatics" only so that's why I post here:

What a sad and "cheap looking" place. Really. I was astonished about the bad quality all over.

Annie's appears like a frustrated slave driver and so do the girls, let's better say middle-aged women. As posted earlier, the pictures on the homepage and walls appear really outdated to a good part and when I was there (5pm, supposedly a good time) there were plenty of girls (around 10-15) but none really nice, and most definitely over 25.

The thing which shocked me most was that the atmosphere in the house as well as in the fish bowl appeared really sad. The girls frustrated and worn out.

Okay whatever, I took the best looking one (later were told she is 27,"Lala" or so; #6) as I wanted to make the experience and as so many here write so positively about Annies.

The girls appeared nice, the first 5min. Then I already waited 10min alone in room until she came back. She washed me on a special mattress, rubbing her body on me. Was nice, but after she but her away (to not get wet) and after undressing I was not much attracted anymore. Hanging breasts, and face which now also could be a lady boy. Whatever. What already turned me off here was the obvious standard routine of a completely bored and really worn out woman. I never saw such a sad "working lady", and I saw a lot, believe me. Yet, she did not appear to be an exception at that place.

Well after having some wash session on the mattress I was put to the bathing tube. Was okay, and she made a nice hand job. The blow jobs actually were all pretty bad, I could feel her teeth. And she was going to stress my little Boy too much from time to time. The touch simply was not gentle, but very mechanic.

Well I came with her hand job. Was good, but nothing special as she did not touch me except on my dick.

Well then we went on the bed to continue with another massage (remember that they promise 2hrs for 2500- all included). We both made a 10min break small talking. The girl was nice, but she was desparate so my feeling. She asked for a "water". For THB 120. I was lauging and said no. I myself was frustrated by then and was again disappointed by the cheap policies of that place. 120- I do not even pay for a beer in most gogo places. (Pattaya is 65-)

I wondered what was coming next. It was an okay normal massage on the back and then on the front. With again lots of monotonolus blow jobs (which again hurted more than they were nice, because she was going too far with her hands from time to time). She then desperately tried that I quickly come, shake my little Friend like crazy. I alsmost came a few times but then always something hurt. Again, everything appeared very mechanical (just as a side note, I had a normal massage in Pattaya and was asked at some point for "full service"? I said yes, got a super-hand job with oil from a middle-aged average looking woman. Did not matter. At least she had a very good touch and gave a great feeling; the damage there was THB 700-). Well I did not come a second time although she tried badly. I said at some point I have enough because I was worried that she really hurts me at some point. With permanent damage which would be a desaster for the remaining BGK days. .

I left after 90min, greatly disappointed and slightly disgusted by the place. The girls, and the business.[/QUOTE]Couldn't agree with your more. Back in the days when it was a 1000 and there were some nice choices it was a fun friendly spot until the owners realised you could target the newbies around Nana use the net and get away with charging 2500. Had they put some of the extra money into the place and recruited some real talent instead of investing in new shops it would have more acceptable to longer term residents. That said they seem to have their admirers and when the ladies are past their best they can head over to Soi7/1 to see out their old age on the P4P scene.

Sales and visitors are booming. The number of men using aadult toys is increasing as they out-number the women by 30%

[QUOTE=Harold444; 1410195]Strolling down soi thaniya, the sex girls, not a dark skin in sight. LOL. Just how I like them. I ts just my dna-light skin turns me on.

Anyone notice all those who partake in songkran are Dark skin types. Only white skin are the HOOLIGANS![/QUOTE]Huh, IMO and that of a Japanese expat and Bangkok most of Thaniya girls are Isaan Nana style in Japan dress style. One needs to learn how to differentiate whitening powder / cream from non whiteners.

[QUOTE=Harold444;1410581]It might do you a whole lot of good to get out of Thailand for a few months. You really don't appreciaate what you got.[/QUOTE]No Harold, I really appreciate what we had here. I do get out of the country and find that does not really make the P4P scene here any more attractive. Hell, P4P in almost all places in Asia is a shadow of what it was 10 years ago. Cambo is another example. I certainly would not move here for the P4P now. There are so many other great things about living in Thailand though and those are what keep me here. Hey, it is great to go have an oily a few times a month, but the scene is just not that fun.
