Thank you for your report
[QUOTE=Jkass470;2945304]Was in Bangkok for 48 hours. It was my first time there, so figured my report may help other newbies.
My first night I went to Wonder Massage. I had looked at pics of the girls beforehand (they are on Telegram and Line), and the pic of the girl I took (Micky) was accurate. I loved being able to pick from a lineup of girls, though there were really only 2-3 I found attractive. I chose a 1-HR Nuru session (1 pop) which included a soapy bath beforehand, for 3000 THB. I thought the soapy beforehand was an amazing and unique experience! DFK, HJ, BBBJ, and CFS was available, and I finished with CIM.
I went to Soi Cowboy afterward, and while it was fun the scene wasn't for me. Tried walking to other recommended massage parlors but got caught in a downpour and gave up. (See more below.).
The next afternoon I checked out the lineups at several massage parlors (including Wonder Massage again) looking for someone attractive. I'm guessing the selection gets better the later it gets, but I was extremely disappointed and by 6 pm gave up. After a quick dinner, I went to La Belle where they have a "fishbowl" that allows you to check out the girls while you enjoy a beer. There were girls in different price ranges (though only a few at the lower ranges), and eventually I settled on a cute girl for 4500 THB for a 90-min session with 2 pops. The session again included an amazing soapy bath after which we moved to a bed for DFK, BBBJ, and CIM. Had another great time, though was disappointed that the girl didn't manage the time properly and I only got 1 pop in. (Maybe it was partly my fault since I spent some time getting her to O.).
Afterward I checked out Nana Plaza. Definitely worth seeing, and lots of good looking girls (much better than I was seeing at the massage parlors) but I didn't think it was great value. I was quoted 5000 THB (4000 + 1000 barfine) for 1 HR, and that didn't include the cost of the hotel (she was not willing to walk 10 minutes to my hotel) or the drinks. One thing I would add is that I thought several of the clubs had beautiful girls; I didn't find the girls in Billboard or Butterflies significantly more attractive than anywhere else (though there were more to choose from), and the hottest girl I had a drink with was at Lollipop. Didn't leave with anyone.
I ended up picking up two girls on the street for a 1-hour duo back at my hotel for 3000 THB each. A much better deal! Though I should say that I found the service lacking compared to my soapy experiences where the girls really wanted to please.
Overall, I would say things took much more planning than I expected. It takes time to go from place to place, especially if you want to go outside the core area to places like La Belle (where it took forever to get a taxi back) or Tulip (which I did not make it to), and especially if it is raining (which it probably will). I loved the soapies, but for me looks are a big part of it and I was disappointed with what was on offer. My advice is to do some advanced research (using Line) to see lineups in advance, and consider scheduling a particular girl if you find her attractive. Nana can be great if you're willing to invest the time, though I question how good the service would be. (I got the impression the girls want the turnaround time to be as fast as possible.).[/QUOTE]JK,
Thanks for taking the time and your valuable info. A few things from my experience: Bangkok is a big city and yes, getting around takes time. Best options are the BTs and MRT provided they cover the area. La Belle is besides Petchaburi Station (MRT and AirPort Express) for example. 1 MRT stop south and you are on the Skytrain that covers much of Sukhumvit. Best is during the rain most of the walkways are covered. Motorbike taxis are another option, use Bolt or grab and make sure you have a good life insurance policy. 3000 each for a Sukhumvit SW is overpaying, it used to be 1000 now you need bargain harder but I would never pay more than 2 k unless she is Julia Roberts. Happy you enjoyed your time and hope you make it back for more fun.
