Detail about Thai addressing
[QUOTE=ChristianG;2384635]When guys on here talk about soi 7 or 8 or 4 or 33 or 22 or 24 or etc. They usaully talk about sois on Sukhumvit Road.[/QUOTE]Yes Sukhumvit is the default road for ISG forum, between Ploenchit skytrain BTS station and Ekkamai BTS Station, districts Wattana and Klong Toei on each side of the road. However Sukhumvit road is very very long and goes all the way to Pattaya, Rayong, Traat and beyond.
"soi" is a Thai word meaning lane, alley, sidestreet. If Singapore it would be called Lorong I believe.
Odd numbered Sois of Sukhumvit are on the North side (slightly East of North), and even numbered on the other side. There is no alignment as another poster pointed out. Soi 66 is approximately opposite Soi 101. This caused by very uneven distances between Sois. Sois have branches sometimes with sub-soi numbers but often not.
Soi 31 has several turns and branches to make it confusing.
Many Sois have a Thai name as well as a number e. G. Soi Sawatdi. Some Sois are so major that they have become a "road". Sukhumvit Soi 71 is also called "Pridi Phanomyong" road and it has sub-sois e. G. Pridi Soi 10. Pridi 10 yeak 8 is 8th intersection of Pridi soi 10.
A small soi in between Soi 7 and Soi 9 cannot be Soi 8 because it is on opposite side, and so becomes Soi 7/1, read by Thais as "Soi 7 Thap 1" (they have no clue what is a slash). Thap sounds like Tup as in Tupperware. Two small sois between 64 and 66 would be 64/1 and 64/2.
An address like this " 65/1 55 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110" will mean building number 65/1, in Soi 55 of Sukhumvit road. Wattana is a major district of Bangkok (known as Kheht in Thai) and Klong Tan Neua is a sub-district (Khwaeng in Thai). Postal Code is 5 digits.
Some Thai addresses give very little clue as to the actual location so you need to search on Google Maps. Soapy Parlour Victoria Secret (closed now) was very hard to find from its address, and even google pin was quite wrong originally.
"555, Rama 9 Road, Bang Kapi, Khet Huai Khwang, Bangkok, 10310, Khwaeng Bang Kapi, Khet Huai Khwang, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10310" It was located in Rama 9 road Soi 13 but official address never mentioned this Soi, and at one time mentioned "Soi Sun Wichai" (seems to be name of Phetchburi Soi 47) which is somewhere else entirely, just to throw people off the scent I guess.
In days before Google Maps, finding places by address could be very tricky.
I live on a country road that has no name. Ha ha.
Sukhumvit Soi 11 dance clubs
[QUOTE=Steve9696;2384960]What are the Best Bangkok dance clubs where you can both dance and do take out?[/QUOTE]I would check out the Sukhumvit Soi 11 dance clubs (Insanity, Levels, etc.). I never personally tried P4P in those clubs there, but it is there. I think my angst with trying P4P in the dance clubs is the difficulty in determining ladyboys (or not) in those lighting conditions. Although their true gender could possibly be screened at the front door with the initial ID check which seems to happen for every girl entering the club; I'm not certain if that's what the bouncers are actually screening. I've always gone to those clubs with a girl already in-hand. Again, there are definitely P4P girls there if that's what you're after; to test drive and take out.
DP / DVP / MMF buddies in Bangkok?
I am in Bangkok over next weekend. Looking for guys into DP / DVP. We get a hotel, a willing girl and a few drinks and take it from there. Who's up?
