If you can't find Patpong whilst in Bangkok catch the first plane home, LoL ;D

From Nana BTS to Sala Deng BTS in five easy steps

1/ Walk to Nana BTS

2/ Ask a Member of Staff or look at one of the maps

3/ Buy the ticket

4/ Get on the train

5/ Get off the train[/QUOTE]Thanks, great map. I've limited my visits so far in BKK (being a newbie) to just Soi Cowboy and Nana, so I don't have any idea where Patpong its, but this should do the trick. I've take the Skytrain several times to MBK and that area.

[QUOTE=Nicfrenchy]Absolutely!! you need to change Trains @ Siam Station[/QUOTE]What?

Can anyone tell me what exactly I have to do?

Hey, I'm not stupid, but folks tend to assume someone who has never been there knows.

Take Skytrain from Nana to Siam stop, then?

[QUOTE=1Ball]actually there are 2 more steps.

6/ get on another train

7/ get off train.[/QUOTE]1Ball, do you want to send him to National Stadium?

6/ get down the stairs
7/ get on another train
8/ get off train.

Tiger, oooops. But hey National stadium is only 1 stop, then the train goes back again, and you have a choice of seats. So, technically speaking.....;)

Now for the hard part. What happens after you get off the train.......

Sorry for being sarcastic Burkmere. I know only too well that I ask dumb questions all the time. It takes time to get to know the ropes and I'm far from being the all knowing oracle. I mean, I left out all those other steps! How foolish of me. ;D

Hope you enjoy Star of Light. I certainly found it worth the journey.

;D

9/ take the exit that would be (as the driver sees in front and to the right) there's an Irish pub just at the bottom of the stairs

10/ carry on straight and turn right into Patpong 2

11/ follow directions on map

[QUOTE=Phantomtiger2]Always best to be sure than to be sorry later.
Legal age is 18 , but since thais are born at age 1, best if gal is 19 on ID.
If she looks too young, always make sure she has ID. If she says dont have then forget it. If you cant read it, then have the hotel desk check for you BEfore you go upstairs.
There was a post earlier on how to read a Thai ID, just have to search back abit.

Quoting from Wikipedia: "East Asian age reckoning is a concept used in East Asian countries originating in China. Several East Asian cultures, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, share a traditional way of counting a person's age. Newborns start at one year old, and each passing of a New Year, rather than the birthday, adds one year to the person's age. This system is still widely used in China and is used officially in Korea. However, its use is less common in other countries."

I have not come accross Thais using this special age procedure (some Chinese in Thailand might).

So a Thais age is worked out normally (they will turn 1 year old 1 year after birth).
Subtract 543 from the Thai Year (Phutthasakharart - the buddhist era) to get the western year number, not 943 (as in Buledaddy's post).

PT[/QUOTE]I don't quite get this. As to my knowledge the IDs show the birthdate rather than the age, so do your maths. Unless the ID is fake. But then you wouldn't know the age anyway.

Is there a standard rate for anal in Bangkok? I know a lot of women won't even consider it and if it's something that I really want I know I should probably ask the girl about it first before going upstairs. Is it typical for the girl to ask for an extra 500, 1000, or what ever for this service? Or is it more likely that if she's willing to do anal at all then she'll do it for the same price as full service?

Secondly, if I find a girl and things go REALLY well and we just seem to hit it off and somehow anal just happens should I expect her to hit me up for an extra ??? Baht for the anal. Or do I stand my ground and pay her only the full service rate we agreed to and put it back on her that she should have either negotiated that orifice before hand or stopped me when I made a move for that hole.

I know if the service is good, I'll tip a little extra anyway but is there a typical tip or rate that I should expect to pay for that type of thing.

Thanks for answering all these Greenhorn questions.

Hah, you'll be lucky to find anything under 25 in Bangkok these days, just to warn you.

Yes, I was assuming everyone knows most official ID's (including mine and yours) shows only DOB and must do some simple math to derive the age. I sometimes have a difficult time doing simple math after a few beers and I'm staring at a pretty face and nice boobs, so carrying a pocket calculator for me is a must.

As with the age 19 rule, its just a suggestion. I usually follow this rule when I'm in any Asian country (LOS included) so I dont have to remember all them details. Note that I normally play it safer than to be sorry later.

Cheers

You might wish to check a BTS map - there are plenty of them on the internet. Also, the signs in the stations are all in English as well as Thai.

[QUOTE=Roady1]Is there a standard rate for anal in Bangkok?[/QUOTE]

You are much more likely to find anal for the same price as regular sex but with older women or the occasional second or third rate younger girl. As a general rule it is a skill learned to make up for unmarketability rather than one adopted by pretty girls to make more money, though there are rare exceptions.

Fact sheet: I can confirm Suzie Wong's good reputation on Cowboy for the quality of girls, variety of clothes which display the girl nudity in a quite fashionable manner, and the excellence of the various shows (lesbians, oily girls.). The con’s are the price of the drinks (140 Thb), and the constant stream of dinosaur rock.

But any newbie going there must be prepared for the X-factor: I am talking about the 150 kilos (330 lbs) waitress who will rush to sit next to you, and put her greasy hands on your groin. She obviously took pleasure in my slight discomfort, but overwhelmed by her presence I decided to play cool and give her a massage, which she appreciated. While dripping, she went out to bring a deliciously cute girl, perfect English-speaking. To my buddy Too Jaded who sat next to me. As for me, my prize was a free short drink of whisky, and a personal strip-tease by the hippopotamus. When left alone, I eyed a cutie on the stage and invited her for a drink. Her English being inexistent, I try a few Thai words, and a nice, gentle flirt and touch. She seems receptive, and I questioned her about a bar-fine, to which she cold-showered me with a "bar-fine, but not boum boum – go eat". In the world of Cowboy depravity, I had found the one cherry-girl (whatever the reason of it).

Too bad, because in the meantime I had made some eye contact with the lesbian show girl who seemed quite high on a cocktail of illegal drugs, and passed by me about 10 times pulling her tongue, like a kid chiding her baby-sitter. She also made some posture of monkey submission (like the baboons showing her hemorrhoids to the dominant male). But she disappeared on her flip flops before I understood the dead-end with my little girl.

The night being late, and having drunk too much, I decided to take some rest for my next working day as I was clearly not in luck. But defeat is not a sweet taste, so I shall be back tonight and if I am in suicidal mood, I shall try the ape threesome, but I shall never be so desperate to fall into the hippopotamus claws. To be continued (for better or worse. .)
