Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=SexIsLove;2695773]So I am all set to land on May 16th at BKK for two weeks stay but I am having second thoughts to cancel my trip. Hotel reservations and Thailand pass all done and good. Question is how are things in Bangkok wrt to nightlife specifically nightclubs (Mixx, Levels, Insanity etc.), Thermae, Grand Hyatt Erwan night bar, and the usual go-go bars at Nana and Soi. Pre-covid my visits would typically entail foot / thai massages, maybe the odd visit to a BJ bar during the day and evenings would be Thermae, sometimes go-go bars for shorttime company and then the nightclubs in that order unless I had found someone good enough for long time in the former venues.

Have things opened up enough for this kind of action now? Thanks.[/QUOTE]I can say for sure Levels and Insanity are still closed as of this writing. Thermae is open but attendance by girls is running about 20-25% normal times because attendance by customers is running about the same.

Don't know about the other places you specifically mentioned.

Some Nana go-go bars are open, most beer bars are open except for the Soi 7 group of bars. But more are open on Soi 11 than pre-Covid.

Many of the more famous BJ Bars are open but with providers greatly reduced in number and looks quality.

Massage shops of the kind you described are open everywhere.

With a minimum of effort you can definitely get sex and blowjobs here any day or night at rates similar to or a bit less than during normal times. Your selection options will be less but so will your punter competition.

As far as the looks of the girls and quality of service you will encounter in these post-Covid times, that is going to vary wildly hour to hour, location by location. No way for anyone to predict with any reliability. The 20 best girls in the city could all decide to accept a month on some dude's yacht the day you arrive or the 50 best girls in the provinces might have just arrived hungry and broke the day you arrive and half of them started working in the little hole-in-the-wall beer bar next to your hotel.

I will say this; I was in Billboard go-go bar in Nana Plaza last Saturday night and it was as packed with hot girls and partying customers as I have ever seen. I didn't call down a girl or interact with one because I didn't get a return smile or welcome vibe from any of the ones I was attracted to for the hour or so I was there. Therefore, I have no idea how good any of them are at their job other than being good at ignoring me. LOL.

Have things opened up enough for this kind of action now? Thanks.[/QUOTE]The less you expect, the better your visit will be. Thermae is open, Nana is open, a few bars in Soi Cowboy are open too. As for BJ bars, I'd say the best one now is Duangporn's (former Soms) with a fair number of performers, BJ bars on soi 7/ x are open, Kasalong is open with 2 rough looking women. Star of Light is closed, sadly.

However, listing what's open does not paint the whole picture. The entire scene is a shadow of its former self. On the first glance, it's sufficiently lively to give you an impression that stuff is happening, but if you look closely, I'd describe it as dire, depressing, borderline disgusting. If you're coming from a sex desert like the US, you'll manage to stick it into enough holes to justify the trip, but it would help if you also enjoy Bangkok for other reasons.

The other day, I heard the old song "one night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster", and nearly wept. That kind of vibe is long gone. One night in Bangkok, and you might find a passable one among all the bottom of the barrel working ladies of the first and second kind. At least the prices are low, unless you look like a total mug.

Problem is, I'm not sure the Bangkok scene will get substantially better 6-12 months down the line. It's possible it'll just get more expensive as hordes of horny mongers rush into Thailand after 2 years of abstinence. Thailand has changed in many ways over the last decade, and I can't see a massive influx of new, fresh, good looking Thai girls rushing in to meet that demand. I certainly hope I'm wrong.

Good advice-. Don't expect much you will be alright.

Especially for me, as I have the opportunity to travel for the next month unlike anytime in the last 10 years. From all I've read, BKK would be the best option for my Asian preferences, and other vanilla tourist destinations in the region. I was also considering the Phils, but I'm told to expect even less culturally. So, question for the board: should I make it BKK with low expectations, or try another destination you recommend? Thanks in advance.

The talent level was absolutely abominable with unattractive, overweight older women expecting the same amount of money that younger fairly attractive women were wanting pre-covid. They were quite a few dudes looking to have a good time, most obviously tourists. After the bars closed we saw groups of these guys roaming about looking for something to do. Well, there really isn't much to do. Honestly, it's still not bad for the resident who can speak a little Thai and is comfortable with the online scene, but as far as coming here is a tourist looking for P4 P fun, well, I certainly wouldn't recommend it at this point. And my guess is it's not going to improve anytime soon. Crocs prediction about lots of mongers, fewer girls, and higher prices will certainly come to pass. I will add to that though, after the first big wave of mongers sees that there's not much to offer, they too will stop coming in droves, and find other hunting grounds and the scene here in Thailand will continue to drop off.

Yes there were a lot of dudes, however, the ratio of men to women was terrible, and the talent level was absolutely horrific. Spent about 30 or so minutes in there and saw one girl that I would consider.

And still see Bangkok, but with lower expectations.

As an alternative visit Phuket which is very alive.

Or split your time between Bangkok and Phuket.

While that might be so, I must say I have not seen photos of girls in fiwfans or any of the other supposedly "stunner" booking sites that, minus the expected photo doctoring, would represent a notably better line up than several of the girls I saw live and in the flesh that night.

And I am pretty sure that based on what I have read and heard re fiwfans and the like all those other experienced mongers I've known and I would have a much better chance of enjoying BBFS+CIP Real Sex on a first session with girls in the Billboard line up I saw who would match or surpass the looks of girls on fiwfans who might grudgingly allow one bareback stroke and out after jumping through hoops to repeat with her 3-4 times.

So there is that.

[QUOTE=MamaGuevos;2695768]Set up a date with a TF girl. We agreed on DFK and BBBJ; BBFS was not available at any price. I nodded off to sleep about 20 minutes after she was supposed to show and an hour later awoke to see a text from her "you sleeping" "I go drinking with girlfriends."

So I go to one of the massage places on Soi 33. Mamasan is drop dead gorgeous but refuses to go with me. I say, find me a lady who does BJ with no condom. 3 of 6 girls raise their hands and I choose the one whose hand is up first (I like enthusiasm). To my surprise, the room has a jacuzzi and she bathes me, blows me, dries me off, oils herself up, slides my back and then my front and gives an excellent BBBJ. She refuses more money for BBFS but does a great ride. I finish on top and she showers me. All for 2400 baht.

This morning, another TF girl who advertises "massage" shows up at 8:45 am (15 minute early). We shower and she shyly kisses me, let's me finger her until she is wet and climbs on top. No mention of a condom. I manage to pull out just before the event and spray my sheets. More BBBJ and a shower and she is off. Wow! A great start to a work week for me![/QUOTE]Great Report. I am coming to BKK late May as well. Just checking if Thai Friendly is worth joining. Their free service is too restrictive. Thinking of taking a one month subscription.

I would like to return to Thailand and I have a couple of girls continually asking me when I am going to return, but the truth is I am not willing to return until I hear things are back up to at least 90% of what they were pre-covid. Which begs the question; why aren't they? What is holding back the girls from returning to BKK & Pat? There is good money to be made in them there Go Go's and soapy massage parlors. I would have thought that quality girls would have returned by now. Which begs the 2nd question: will LOS ever return to its former red light glory days?

It's a good thing I have found a new home away from home in SA where the girls are smokin' hot and the sex is amazing.

Thinking of taking a one month subscription.[/QUOTE]Yes, it's well worth the money. I didn't use it for my February-April trip, but it was great on previous trips (Bangkok, Samui, Phuket). Also recommend bringing a laptop as it is much easier than a smartphone. At a minimum, bring a tablet computer.

Firstly there is a fraction of the previous punters / visitors.

Secondly, the places aren't still legally open, or open in volume *soapies, gogos".

Thirdly, they are making good money elsewhere, think online, OF, Chaturbate, etc.

And lastly, they are working elsewhere that is more open, Phuket pretty much for many.

Most of these girls are sex-nomads, they go where the work, action, and customers are.

Online, Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket.

So there is that.[/QUOTE]Huh? Picky? Perhaps, but my dude, Billboard was awful that night. Fat, old, out of shape, ugly faces, amazingly poor plastic surgery, baby damage, it was just terrible. And I won't even go into skin blemishes, bad tats, and skin tone. Saw one gal with a nice face, but could not see the body and one gal dancing who had a nice body but when the carousel came around had the face of a she-goat with a grill like a 56 Buick.

Billboard was the best of the bunch pre-Covid and often had at least a few lookers, but even then I had a preference for the oilies who tended to employ fairer gals.

The online gals are overall way better looking that what I saw at Billboard that night, that is if you have spent time to weed through the chaff, read the Telegram groups, and view the pictures the local punters share. The gals in Billboard were not even in the same category my man.

Not all of us need to skin it with a gal and are perfectly happy to use a condom for intercourse. If you don't think your options are limited if that is your requirement, then you are kidding yourself. It's probably much easier to get a gal the likes of what I saw in Billboard to agree to bareback sex than it is a real looker. Why? Because the real lookers don't have to. If you didn't need it raw I could suggest some amazing looking gals that perform like champs, but unfortunately none of them are going to let you go sans bone bag.
