Hi,
This was the first time (for me) leaving from the new airport to my hotel in the Nana soi 4 area. This was about midnight. About 20 minutes into the cab ride the driver drove along a street where there were about 20-30 streetwalkers plying their trade then made a right turn. Some girls look quite good.
When I asked the driver the name of this street he did not understand my english. I do remember a hospital being near. Called the Bangkok & Pattaya hospital (I believe). I was nowhere at the Burmeguard.
Does anyone have an idea where this street is with the girls?
Thanks,
Tom.
I'm not sure but could it have been by Lumphini Park?

I guess not. Usually the taxis takes the highway and leave them not far from Sukomvit Soi3.

The area you are talking about is the street behind Petchaburi Rd. There can be upwards of 50-60 girls on any given night. They used to be on Petchaburi Rd. around Siam Hotel but the boys in brown kicked them to the street on the backside of the hotel. There are some very nice looking girls but service is hit or miss. It is more of a local scene and usually the locals drive around that long rectangular block checking out the girls. My friends and I took a taxi there and just walked around until we found some girls. Most girls don't speak english and will do ST only for 1500. Also they are hesitant to go to any hotel except Siam Hotel which will cost you 500 baht. I was able to convince a few to go to my hotel when I was stayed in the Ratchada area and paid 200 baht extra for taxi. There are also a bunch of girls waiting to be picked up in the Siam Hotel coffee shop. The girls are there until the wee hours of the morning. Hope this clears things up a bit.
If you arrive Bangkok a little bit late the taxi driver may not take the toll-way to Nana area and you may pass through Petchburi Road around old Siam Hotel area (NOT Siam City hotel). This area is well known by local residents as a pick-up point for SWs who are not entirely pros so they inform me. The best bet will be to cruise around the area with an English speaking taxi/tuk-tuk driver. The SWs start to appear near mid-night onwards if police patrols are absent.
My friend who has been a resident in Bangkok for the past 8 years swear the girls are more beautiful (Asian perspective) than those in NEP, Cowboy etc but they don't speak English and he warned mongers to be very careful because the girls are independent and may walk out with your suit case.
In early May my friend and I cruise around said area and I picked up one girl - tall, slim, rather fair, rather beautiful, very little English. We brought her to my hotel (I stayed at Maxx that time). I remembered service was good inc BBBJ and damage was TB1500 with no expectation of taxi fare. At 01:30 Maxx hotel did not have any security and my friend waited at the lift lobby of the floor of my room as a precaution.
No barfine, no nonsense talk, just negotiate the price, take the sweet thing back to the hotel, BUT be careful of your wallets/bags/etc. I shall be pleased to hear of fellow mongers' experience re the girls from around Siam hotel area.

Sounds like the area right next to the Mona Lisa massage parlor. If it is, then it's girls mostly looking for Thai gentlemen. English ability is very limited and selection is similar to the Nana area girls. Prices are usually 1,500 baht ST and 2,500 baht LT, but of course it depends on the girl.
ST rooms are available in the Siam hotel, the last time I checked. Add another 500 baht. Most of the girls don't like leaving the area and prefer hotels close by like the Siam. Don't get this mixed up with the Siam City hotel.

There are 2 highways from the new airport to say, soi 4. A north and southern road through Bangna (also the elevated road to Pattaya from Bangkok. It seems to me the northern road is shorter, but I could be mistaken. Can anyone clarify this?
Also, what can we tell the taxi driver to ensure they take the shorter route. Last time a woman driver took me to the southern route and it seemed like we went through 100 Baht before we even got out of the airport.
If you agree to a fixed price in advance, and YOU pay the tolls, you can be 100% sure that the taxi driver will take the shortest route possible.
If one was to negotiate a fixed price with the taxi at the airport to go to Sukhumvit, what should it be? Are most taxi drivers prone to rip you off if you ask for them to use the meter?
I find that fixed prices are often in the favor of the taxi driver. People should choose meter over fixed in most cases. I am more interested in shortest distance and least traffic. I hate to spend the few minutes left of the evening after the plane arrives, standing in traffic or taking the long way into town.
Actually, I found I could get from the plane to a room in almost 1 hour exactly from the old airport. The new one takes just a few minutes more, if you can get the right taxi going in the right direction.
Typically, the taxi meter from Suvarnabhumi to Sukhumvit will be in the 220 to 250 baht range. Plus they get a 50 baht surcharge for using the airport cab line, plus tip. plus tolls (which I think are now 65 baht).
They have been trying to get 400 fixed plus tolls, I generally can negotiate them down to 350 plus tolls, which IMHO, comes out to be around the same as using the meter plus a very reasonable tip. Worst case, I'm overpaying them by a dollar. I can live with that.
Where would a guy go exactly by taxi to hop out and check this scene out? Also, what's a good time to go? I've been by Siam Hotel (inside and outside) before and have seen very few girls around, so if there's 50 or 60 like Horntoad said, I obviously wasn't there at the right time.
Where would you have the taxi take you to, exactly? Hopefully something that will be possible for a non-Thai speaker to communicate to him. People are saying 'the road behind Siam Hotel' or 'behind Mona Lisa' but not sure which road that is. And how far apart are Siam and Mona Lisa? Where are the girls in relation to these 2 spots?
All these questions because I've always meant to check this area out properly, but always came up lame on it.
Thanks

...[/QUOTE]Wendella,
You take a taxi to Petchaburi Road, Siam Hotel. The action is late, after midnight.
If the girls are not at the road in front of Siam Hotel you walk to the right (if you look at Siam Hotel), 100 m, there is a junction. Turn left there, another 50 m, turn left again, you reached the road behind Siam Hotel then.
I don't know anything about action behind Mona Lisa. The distance between Mona Lisa and Siam Hotel is (estimated) not more than 500 m. And - this is a Thai scene, it will be difficult without speaking basic Thai.

Please help me with some advice.
Thx
