Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=MaxBkk;2715954]
The industry badly needs to reinvent itself as the current model is dying.[/QUOTE]I realise I'm comparing apples to oranges but I read a news article recently at home showing that the whole night club industry is on the verge of collapse with many, once booming, venues closing. Covid has had a devastating affect recently but structurally Gen Z are no longer turned on by going out to drink to excess, reports of violent altercations nor low strike rates of face to face hook up attempts. These have been replaced by day time cafes with friends and online hook up aps.

I can see similar situations rolling out through Asia's red light area as well. There is no denying the effect of internet options. Many girls simply no longer need the dramas or embarassment of working in bars, seedy massage joints etc.

Enjoy. G.

So I am in bkk for more than 15 days now and have tried most of the things I wanted to and drained my balls to my hearts content, then I met this local guy who became my friend and took me to another Red light district which to my knowledge is not very popular on this forum at least. It had a lot of freelancers on the Road and spoke only thai they knew not a word of english and most of the men around were thai. Most of the girls were average looking and some below average but there were a few good ones too. The best thing about this area was that it was really cheap. Girls would ask 600 tb for st and shot time hotel would cost only 150 tb, I personally dint liked it much as the quality of girls in genral was bad, they seemed to be uneducated girls from near by villages and I am sure they were not very keen on maintaining a good personal hygiene. So I would not want to venture in this area but if you are some one on a very tight budget or some one who would like these kind of WGs you can try venture around the China town night market.

[QUOTE=ChoduMadan;2716117]Best thing to do is to call up a nice outcall massage service like similan or 66 leelathai or fairyland and book a girl for 2 hours, she will do excellent massage and all extras. It is very relaxing and with no hassles, the time can be extended if you like.[/QUOTE]That could be an option, looks like there are quite a number of cheap hotels around the airport. I can have outcall even if it is just for a few hours. Distance wise, I am not sure if these girls are willing to travel to the area near the airport.

Has anyone tried it?

Will repeat. Great for sleeping through the flight home.

I went last Friday-Sunday to nana plaza. Some decent looking girls at Spanky's / Rainbows / billboards on Friday, more on Saturday, less on Sunday. I bar fined my first girl and she said 2500 was only if I used one of the rooms at Nana Plaza, if going to my hotel it would take longer would need another 500 baht which I paid. Idc much as I was previously considering 6 k+ baht freelancers. But is this actually a thing or I got hustled?

My hotel wasn't that far either, maybe a 5 minute walk.

If I'm willing to spend 10 k baht on the hottest girl I can find, where do you all suggest I go? I was considering Black Caviar or Maria but not sure if they'd actually be hotter than some of the hotter girls I've seen at Nana Plaza. I was surprised to see that there were a good number of girls at Nana hotter than the freelancers I found advertising on massage republic or even the agencies, of which their pictures are heavily shopped anyways.

Thanks in advance.

The quality is very low as is the price.

I get the upfront agreement for BBFS+CIP I want for 2,000 - 2,500 baht (paid to the girl after) plus barfine (paid in the bar upfront) most of the time.

But regarding the bit about her insisting on using a Nana Plaza short time room or you pay an additional 500 baht to take her to your hotel, I can't say I have encountered that. Then again, it usually comes out in our bar chat that I live very nearby and I have a motorbike parked at curbside for a quick ride to my apartment and likely back to NP as well. So that might be why the NP short time room is not insisted upon with me.

However, I will say that many Nana Plaza bars are nutty about keeping as many girls in the bar or close by for quick return on Friday nights these days, maybe slightly less so on Saturday nights.

As has been mentioned by many, those are the biggest customer nights while the rest of the week can be rather dead, many of the better girls not even bothering to show up Sunday. Wednesday. So if the night you took the girl was Friday or Saturday, especially after 9:30 pm or so, that would have been peak customer times for the whole week and the bars want as many hands, feet, faces and butts on deck as possible. Of course, the girls want to be there for the potential flood of Lady Drink commission income as well.

[QUOTE=ChimpoChinn;2716332]There is no quality, per SE.[/QUOTE]Agreed, Lots of 1's, 2's & 3's. Never seen anything over a 5.

[QUOTE=MaxBkk;2716311]The street action in China Town just off Yaowarat Road is famous.

The service, however, is truly abysmal.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2715751]Personally I don't see the point of traveling to BKK as long as things remain as they apparently are. So, is this the end of BKK as a major girly entertainment destination? Maybe. I would have thought that after a 2 year hiatus the girls would have flocked back to the Go Go's and a huge supply would create demand. Apparently not. But until there is a ample quality supply of girls around, I doubt punters in large numbers will return and demand will remain low. It sounds like BKK is in a depression.[/QUOTE]There's no longer an ample supply of working girls in Thailand. Demographics have shifted massively and permanently. Fertility rate has been under 2 children per woman since 1992 (affecting the number of women under 30 now in 2022), compared to the 5+ in the early 1970's (women under 30 back in 2000's). Incomes have also risen significantly, to the point where a typical salary, even on the low end, is sufficient to live on without freelancing part-time.

The difference is stark, but the industry started off huge, there was plenty of inertia, and many punters were refusing to see the changes. For almost a decade, we've seen attrition with very few new faces, but many of the older providers hanging on. This was apparent everywhere, but most obvious in oilies like Tulip.

This situation was dire well before Covid, and the pandemic won't make it better. I just don't see where the large supply of girls would come from. Perhaps the economic crisis brewing in Laos (nearing a breakdown) would send a few working girls over the border, but that won't last long and is unlikely to have large effects down in Bangkok.

Meanwhile, there's no shortage of punters, so with the full reopening, it's only natural to expect prices to go up, and quality way down. At one point, I guess they'll stop coming.

Plenty of places were mongering meccas for a while, but withered due to various factors, usually demographics and increasing wealth of the locals, coupled with some significant event. I hear 1988 Olympic Games killed mongering for foreigners in Seoul and SARS in 2003 killed foreigner bars in Hong Kong. Thailand is here now, unfavorable background trends plus a major event. Now, mongering will never disappear (it still exists in both Seoul in HK), but it might change to be smaller and mostly for locals, no longer worthwhile for most visitors, especially long-distance ones.

[QUOTE=SiamMan;2716140]I may be a new poster here, but have been using Fiwifans a fair bit. Most of the time I can work out what the google translations are referring to, such as the "split / break mouth", but one phrase that I have seen several times is girls refusing to accept "pearl inlay". Can MaxBkk or anyone else help as to what "pearl inlay" is referring to.[/QUOTE]Can you send me the word in Thai and I can help you.

I would rather spend the two extra precious hours with a girl than being stuck in traffic.

I have been going to SEA every year since 2003, sometimes twice a year. This long standing trend was interrupted by Covid, but I was still lucky. I only missed 2021. I had last visited in January of 2020, well before they closed the borders on March 2020.

I did not know what to expect from this trip. From reading ISG, I was not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I managed to have a good time.

On this trip, my plan was to visit Singapore for 4 days, Bangkok 4 days, Pattaya for 5 days, then back to Singapore for 2 days before heading back home. Singapore was the least fun part of this trip, because Geylang was pretty much closed.

Back to Bangkok, my wingman and I stayed at the Novotel hotel on Soi Nana, close to Nana plaza. For my wingman, it was his first time in Bangkok, so I tried to show him as much as I can in the short time we had together. He was moving on to the PI one day earlier than me, and I was going to Pattaya.

We flew from Singapore and landed in Bangkok late afternoon on a Sunday. Going through immigration at the airport was a breeze, to my surprise. The same with the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel. I managed to drag my wingman through two must-do activities for me, when I am in Bangkok. First, it was my afternoon coffee break at the bakery at JW Marriott on Soi 2. On this trip, I also tried the bakery at Sofitel and I was disappointed. I did not like their pastry.

Then we went for a walk on Sukhumvit all the way to Asok and terminal 21. We had dinner at Cabbages and Condoms on Soi 12, a must for me on every trip to Bangkok. The restaurant was closed for renovation but was scheduled to reopen on the Monday we had planned our visit. I was so pleased that a Thai renovation project was completed on time.

After dinner, I had planned to take him to Thermae. I had mentioned it to him earlier and he was eager to take a look, but we never got to it. Too many things got in the way and so little time. Instead, after dinner we took a stroll on Sukhumvit, and got drenched in the rain. We went back to our hotel to dry out and change our clothing. Then it was time for Nana plaza.

I took him on a tour of the new plaza, still in awe how they can fit that much pussy in such a little space. As we were walking inside the plaza, we were accosted by hordes of girls from each club trying to convince us to come in. Well, it did not take long for my wingman to take the bait. He liked one of those girls and that was it. I forgot the name of the club but it was on the second floor. I followed him inside the club. There were only about 6 or 7 girls in total dancing away. I took a liking to 2 of them but the mamasan would have none of it. She first harassed me to buy her a drink, and then she wanted me to barfine her. And here I was hoping that she would leave me alone after buying her a drink. It did not take long for my wingman to get in a party mood, and start buying drinks for the girls left and right. At the end, he did not have enough cash and I ended up getting stuck helping with the bill. Luckily my wingman was ready to call it a night. As soon as he took off with his girl, I quickly followed them out, and landed at Rainbow 4.

This club was much more interesting. They had ton of girls dancing, hence it was easier to pick one. It did not take me long before I settled on a cutie. She was dancing on stage, and as soon as we crossed path, I knew she was the one I wanted. She seemed to feel the same way, as she flashed a big welcome smile. I smiled back and waived to her. She immediately left the stage and joined me. We spent an hour chatting over drinks, and she was ready for the barfine. She wanted 3 K baths for ST on top of 700 bahts for the barfine. I was in no mood to negotiate at that time and we soon left the bar. We ended up having a nice session. The following night, I was ready for more of the same.

I also wanted to check some of the massage places. I had some intel on Doki Doki, Maichan, and other places like it. We chose to pay a visit to Kokoro on that day. We took the BTS to Asok, and from there we walked to Soi 23, then we got lost. I had studied the map on their website but forgot some of the details. I was about to give up and try something else, buy my wingman insisted that we take a taxi. So, we flagged a tuk tuk. The driver started immediately trying to convince us that he can take us to a better place, but we declined. After many attempts, he gave up but raised his fare. By now, it was so hot and muggy, we had to either agree with his new fare or give up on our search. The increase was not too bad, so we agreed but he could not find the place and got lost as well. He had to call one of his buddy to get the exact address and direction. We finally made it.

Kokoro had about 5 girls available when we walked in. The mamasan called for a line up, and I picked Julia. My wingman picked another girl. The session started with a common shower. After the cleaning, the girl put the nuru gel all over my body, next came the slip'and'slide part. That was fun, and after a while she rinse me, dried myself and moved onto the bed. An FS session followed, with multiple positions. That was fun too and my wingman was pleased with his session.

At night, we were both ready to revisit Nana plaza. My wingman wanted to see the same girl, and so did I. So, we split and went on our own way. Here I got screwed. As soon as I stepped in Rainbow 4, the wolves were waiting. I finally got a chance to meet the sisters, friends and cousins of my girl. Also, I had heard of the double drink trick of Tequila and coke, but tonight I had the pleasure of experiencing it. My bill was pretty high that night, and my girl realized that I was not too pleased with that. Back in the room, she offered anal as an additional treat on the menu, but refused BBFS. I still had quite a bit of fun with her that night but had no plan to go back to Rainbow 4. This has happened to me before in past trips but I always found ways around it. In this case, I was there for a few nights only.
