[QUOTE=Blanquiceleste;2069529]I am not sure how many punters here will ever 'fess up to mistakenly cozying up with a LB at least once in their illustrious careers. Put one in front of a judge and they will claim the fifth. 5555.[/QUOTE]That's how I learned straps was a post op bar, by first hand experience. Kicked her out of my condo with 500 Baht. She or he didn't put up a fuss. I was very polite about the fact that I wasn't interested in a post op. It was my 2nd day in Thailand 8 years ago.
[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2069552]One night a couple of years ago as I was leaving Rainbow 3, I spotted a very pretty spinner sitting on the veranda in front of Straps. She could not have been taller than 5 ft. , and probably weighed less than 40 kg with soft skin and what looked like small round natural Thai girl tities. She saw me looking her way and smiled, so I walked over and said Hi. We talked for a while and I told her I thought she was very pretty. Then I asked straight up if she was a ladyboy. She smiled and said no. Ha Ha. And except for the fact that she worked in Straps, a well-known postie LB bar, I would never have asked the question because she totally passed my LB sensors with flying colors. Even sitting close to her in plenty of good light, I could not detect any sign of her not being a very sexy, natural born girl. My spec totally.
So, she invites me into her bar and we go in and sit down at a table. I order a round and we continue chatting. The drinks come and her drink is an orange soda in a small glass. Now here comes the tell: she takes her drink and swallows the whole contents of the glass fast in two large gulps. Then she asks if I want to barfine her. I begin to say something like, "well maybe darling. Uh, why don't we take our time and get to know each a little bit be. " When she abruptly turns around and jumps up onto the small stage before I can even finish my sentence. I am left speechless with my words hanging out of my mouth, but then I begin to laugh. Meanwhile the girl is on the stage right in front of me, pretending I am not there..[/QUOTE]But there are (or used to be) 2-3 real girls working there.
I just Love the action at Straps. Never picked girl from there but sit drinking and talking to angry mamasan and a couple of girls I know long time.
When question asked they tend not to lie.
[QUOTE=MusicalToM;2068723]Recently bagged a job at Bangkok. The pay is a little above 70 k per month and will increase in coming times. Work location would be around Ekamai.
Do you guys think after all the expenses (except on girls), I'll be able to save 50%+ of my salary every month? FYI, I'm planning to rent a 1 bedroom condo.
I've been to BKK numerous times but as a tourist, so honestly no idea about monthly expenses. I searched over Internet for this but most of the information available are outdated!
Where I'm working right now, pays me 40% more than this salary but since it's Thailand I'm willing to compromise.
Any suggestion / comment on expenses in general would be appreciated.
Tom.[/QUOTE]Depends on the lifestyle you want. I know a lot of guys who do quite well for themselves on 45 K a month. They have fun, meet and hook up with a lot of girls, and travel around SE Asia a couple of times a year. Then I also know others who try and live like ballers and end up broke after the 1st week of the month.
You can rent a newer 1 bedroom condo (30-40 sq. M.) not far from Ekamai in the On Nut / Prakanong BTS area (1-2 stops away from Ekamai station) for 12,000-15,000 baht fully furnished. Shoebox type place, not much character but its clean, nice facilities including a big swimming pool and fully kitted fitness center. There's also a lot of other places around the city that are equally priced that are actually bigger, nicer, but you have to be willing to live a little ways from the BTS and do some leg work to find them. Right now is actually a good time to come here because of the crazy condo boom that's taken place over the last couple of years. Value to rent has stayed fairly low.
You can also save a bit of money by not running the AC constantly. It can be tough but you may actually find just having a fan on you at night a relief after working in a freezer I mean office all day.
Food is cheap if you're good with eating mostly Thai food. Western options get pretty pricey. There are beer gardens around most residential areas that serve good and cheap Thai food and reasonably priced beer.
If you're serious about staying for a couple of years I also recommend getting a motorbike. This can open up your living choices and save you a bit of money on transport. Its also just convenient to have one due to the traffic.
When it comes to ladies, most guys tend to spend a bit more when they first arrive but usually after a few months the P4P scene can get a bit boring. If you do a bit of networking during the break in period, some of the girls may even meet up with you directly for less or no money. Once you settle in and make some friends, you'll find that getting decent looking women to go home with you to actually be fairly easy, especially if you're a nice enough fellow.

So maybe you should have asked this girl 'are you a post-op ladyboy?'
I think my ladyboy radar is pretty good. A few years back as I cruised the freelancers in the Nana parking lot, I was considering a very cute spinner. As I got closer she announced in a rich baritone voice "I have a dick! As I kept right on going I laughed out loud and said "So do I". She definitely looked like a lady.
I have a 16 hour layover in Bangkok before my flight to Australia from 7 am to 12 am.
I am RTFF for few days but could not find a place to spend time with sex available.
I want to know is there any German FKK like place in Bangkok where I can relax and also have sex whenever I wanted.
Also recommend any other option for this day layover as most of bars open at night.
Also is there any Soapie or massage parlour having a package for 5_6 hrs with multiple girls like its in german FKK.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2069324]First off, I think you are getting overly concerned about LB's and walking into the wrong bar, and making a fatal mistake. LOL. In over 25 years of playing around in Thailand, I have never made that mistake nor even come close. I think most punters have a similar experience. Thus the odds of making the fatal error are very, very low because LB's are easy to spot, even for a newbie, by their size (height, hands and feet), exaggerated behavior (especially on stage), looks (most ladyboys contrary to popular myth are not attractive and have some degree of masculinity they can't hide), and voice. Plus, there are not many mixed Go Go's or other venues, so if you spot a ladyboy dancer in a Go Go or massage parlor, assume they are all ladyboys and leave unless you have some secret desire to hook up with one.
Anyway, here is a short list of Go Go's that are all LB free to allay your apprehensions before your big trip. This list is incomplete. I basically composed it off the top of my head of Go Go's that I know without a shadow of doubt do not employ Kathoey dancers.
[B]Guaranteed Ladyboy Free Bars in Nana:[/B]
All the Rainbow Go Go's, Billboard, Twister, Spanky's, Candy Land 2. Mandarin, and Angel Witch.
[B] Guaranteed Ladyboy Free Bars in Soi Cowboy: [/B]
All Cowboy Bars are LB free except Cockatoo and Midnight (mixed).
[B]Guaranteed Ladyboy Free Bars in Patpong:[/B]
Kings Castle 1 & 2, Badabing, Electric Blue, Pink Panther, and the Strip.[/QUOTE]Always so much detail in your reports. Appreciate it! I've heard lots about the King's castle 1&2. They are going to be a priority.

The closest is a soap massage. Usually 2 hrs with one girl. But you can double the girls. And then do another session, with a new round of girls.
That's the closest to a FKK.
Otherwise club Eden, where you take two girls and all fun is in the price.
There are some sort of gentlemen club, mainly for locals but open to foreigners too.
Read the relevant threads and have a good time.
We wait for your reports.
I skipped some info from belows post:
[QUOTE=Blanquiceleste;2066572]Have you ever replied to a PM from some random punter asking for advice and then not receiving a reply back? Not even a single word of "Thanks" ?
Such behavior really pisses me off, and I decided that the effort I put into replying might help some newbie. So here is the reply in a post form. Hope it helps someone.
Good luck with your first trip. No matter what you read on these forums, nothing can prepare you enough for the sensory assault that awaits you in BKK.
Let me try and break it down for you:
The. Nightclubs / Discos: The most popular ones are Insanity, Levels, Spasso, etc. All around Sukhumvit. Spasso can be expensive. Other places, its really upto you and your game. Most places get going after midnight. Thermae is another place you might want to visit, but I doubt you will have success there. The place caters largely to Japanese customers. But a drink there is no harm.
Have fun.[/QUOTE]Insanity and adjacent business are demolished and new development will take in place.
I always wondering after the closure of Bankok Beat, Climax and now Insanity where are these horny girls are gone. ?
Anyone know if they are filming a movie or so in Soi Cowboy? Walked there last Sunday and there was a whole filmcrew and big camera's on rails set up etc. Just wondering what it is they were filming?

Any recommendations for gogo bars in the areas you posted?
[QUOTE=IndianKing;2070260]Thank you for your post. There are people who do appreciate it.
Any recommendations for gogo bars in the areas you posted?[/QUOTE]Thank you for the appreciation, and I would have appreciated more if you only had read a few posts prior to writing one. Natty Bumpo has posted a short and succinct report about the gogo bars to visit in Nana, Cowboy and Patpong. Perhaps that will help?

On our return to Bangkok he told me about this fantastic gogo but the girls were just way too pushy, he was happy to have buddies with him so he wouldn't have to rush out of there after being approached one after the other. He didn't remember the name of the bar (it wasn't straps) but as he led us to the place I could see the ladyboys standing outside and we stopped a good 50 feet short and had to tell him he was in a ladyboy bar. So I'd have to say the majority of visiters who aren't familiar with Thailand might easily get confused.
