Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=NewtonYork;3054437]Just perusing the usual websites for Bangkok freelancers, and what most of them are asking for these days is kinda insane. We're talking close 150 bucks an hour and higher. Nothing against Thai chicks, but I mean come on. And the escort websites for Bangkok are the same high prices too. Service was kinda ok at best from my memory. Is it really worth the premium? Don't think so.

Nana and Cowboy with their inflated bar fines, and increased prices for ST and LT. Jeez, what's left?

The only real value for money now in Bangkok seems to be the massage joints. Welp, none of this really matters anyway, with World War 3 showing up soon, it's all for naught. But wait a Goddamn minute! If it's Armageddon, I should get my dick wet before I die!

Got to get me on a damn plane to Bangkok, and ASAP! Fuck, I hate this life. Being old sucks.[/QUOTE]Here is a quick answer. Between 1990 to 2020 Thai GDP per capita grew 384%. Adjusted for inflation that's still 138%. Over the same period income inequality fell from 65% in poverty to under 10% today. Unemployment is just over 1%. To put that into perspective, US unemployment is at 8%. Oh and BTW. Chinese tourists in Thailand spend an average of 6,400 Baht per day. Koreans 6,200, Indians 5,500 and Americans 4,500.

All publicly available data to explain why so expensive.

How does that song go. Video killed the Radio star. In my mind and in my car. We can't go back, we've gone too far.

A great decade the 80's. I miss MTV.

There are so many beautiful/expensive hotels and a lot of low budget backpackers, I could not have guessed average spends per day. Can you provide a reference, I'd like to see their methodology for calculating those numbers.

Credit card charges.
ATM draws.
Exchange kiosk transactions.
Days in kingdom based on passport.

Today there is too much geek in me. Time to go out and get laid.

I really think this is BS. And if it came close to reality the see's are spending lots on there own Chinese guides, etc. Do you not see the see's sneaking multiple people into one room and only booking for one. Or the I's "picnicking" on the beaches?? Really classy. And are hobbying? I can see the russkies spending big.

Am planning two days in Bangkok and would love to try Fin69 after reading your reports. You mentioned 3500 for VIP room. Does that include everything (Nuru, BBBJ, FS except the defined extras like CIM, CIP, BBFS) or do the girls still expect a tip in the room? Are there other options besides the VIP room (cheaper) and would choosing them compromise the service?

Do the girls DFK?

How many shots are you allowed? I always worry about shooting my load quickly and then curtains. Does the massage continue after I finish allowing me to continue the fondling, pussy touching etc.

Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks mate.

And a lot of places that cater to their demographic will have higher prices. Like in Pattaya the Indian clubs charge more for drinks than other clubs. There are also huge massage shops that cater to Chinese who come by the busloads. The prices at those places are double what I as an American would pay at a smaller massage shop around Soi Buakhao. They go to the sex shows and the ladybody shows and the ripoff floating market, when Westerners just sit around and drink beer. So I can see people who are doing the big group thing spending more at establishments than westerners. I do not think hookers are included in those numbers though. But they could be. Remember Indians go to the saopies by the busload. That is 3000 a pop. I never see any westerners in the Pattaya soapies when I take my friends.

Boots on the ground now, first time in The Kingdom. Instead of boring play by play. I will give you bullets.

* Landed Friday at noon, Nan's Lady Taxi picked me up, took me to Nana Plaza area. 800 baht. Yes, more, but she was waiting for me. Worth it.

* After check in, needed attention. I had been traveling for 20+ hours, just needed a BJ.

* Kasalong fulfilled this issue.

* I was fading at 3 pm. Went to Nana Plaza bar area, got my legs back. Walked back to my hotel, picked up a FL, 1200 THB, did everything I could to finish again, done.

* Went. To Chatuchak market. A swap meet on steroids. Oh yeah, it's 100 degrees here.

* Went to Soi Cowboy with the intention of no sex, just drinks.

* met someone at Suzy Wong's. To borrow from at TomJackin "my favorite quotes", Jesus toe-tapping Christ. Of Course I will go up with you.

* Well, on a Saturday night, bar fine 1200 THB, girl 2000 (she wanted 3000) and a 450 THB room charge. I will never pay this again, but the service was amazing.

* Went to HunnyBunny on Suk 33 on Sunday. Great Nuru, sex meeh. Very strict.

* Sunday night, went to Muey Thai Fights at Rajadamern Stadium. Best night in BKK.

* Today, Sunday 3/2/2026, went to DaisyDream.

* you can't miss this place.

* while the Nuru isn't as good as HB, every thing else checks the boxes.

* For all the pot belly older dudes here, I want to just tip my hat to you and say, see you soon.

I'm on to Cambodia next.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;3054193]LOL. I have been living here 17 years and have never been hit with any surcharges, denied any entry, or given the cold shoulder for the godforsaken behavior of sitting down where nobody else was sitting.

And it looks like you misread the story. I was sitting down and the girl was standing up next to me. The girl was not intending to sit down. So nobody bullied anyone out of a seat.[/QUOTE]The girls will happily give a seat to a polite gentleman, and the staff will find a place if you are ordering the actually decent food.

Be good to hear your Cambodia report too. I am off to both places in may.

Was back in Bangkok in mid February, after being there in mid Jan 2026. As with the Jan trip, I again hit Nana, Soi Cowboy and the free lancers at Thermae. As in Jan, I continued to find gems at all three places, just have to do a little leg work and keep your eyes open. Stayed at the Hilton Pleonchit Doubletree, S15 Sukhumvit, and the Hilton Grande Asoke while in BKK.

Nana Plaza. I visited Geisha, some of the Rainbow clubs, Billboards, Butterflies, Angel witch, On top and one or two others. Bar fine seemed to be 1000 be with ST at 4,000 be. Beers were about 150-160 be for Chang / Singha. Pulled some hotties from a different club each night and had a great time with each of them. Taking one attractive young spinner back to Doubletree, a security guard saw us in the lobby and gave me the thumbs up. He also must have liked what he was seeing.

Soi Cowoby. Stopped by Tilac, Bacarra, Cowboy two and the Rainbow / Heaven bar there (cannot recall exact name. Was only bar there that I did not like as very aggressive on pushing drinks and girls. Although the quality of the girls there was low and few customers there). Bar fines were 1,000 be and girls asked for 3,000 be for ST. Made sure to avoid the rip off "arab" bars. Rio, Deja Vu, Midnight, etc. So annoying that while these all seem to have the best looking girls standing outside of them, they are dead inside and the girls are super aggressive in trying to get guys to come inside. Avoid these places at all costs, unless you want to spend a lot for lady drinks but with no chance of any bar fine / ST or LT fun. These places kind of kill some of the vib at soi cowboy. Having said that, gems can be found at the other clubs. I pulled an attractive spinner from Bacarra rocking the kawaii / anime style named tinkerbell and took her back to the Hilton Grand Asoke. While walking to the elevator with her, a very drunk Aussie yelled out - "You get to have sex with her?? She is beautiful. " I tried not to laugh as Tinkerbell and I got into the elevator, and the gals working the front desk briefly looked up and then went back to their regular duties. No issues with bringing gals back there. And yes she was beautiful and the sex was great.

Thermae. Saw many of the same gals, standing in the same places, as when I was there in January. It is a nice change of pace from the gogo bar scene. See my 02-05-2026 post for suggestions on improving one's experience at Thermae.

Because I have never been to a Nuru massage place, I did look into them while in BKK on this trip. There are a lot in the Sukhumvit area. Ended up not trying any of them as was getting good enough workouts with the gogo bar girls I was pulling each night. I plan on a repeat BKK trip in May, based on fun I had in Jan and Feb, and may try and sample some then. My only concern is the limited choice / options at each place. If I am not feeling it at one of the Nana or Cowboy gogos, I just move on to the next one until I see something that I particularly fancy.

I did come up with a fun game for the gals. As we got to the hotel, I would give them the key and tell them that they would have to take me to their room (room number XYZ at the hotel). At first they would be a little confused, and I would say to them that room XZY was their room, not my room, and that they had to take me to this room. Their room, that I was coming back with them for short time. Each one of them thought this was funny and they all enjoyed pushing the elevator buttons, finding the room on the hotel floor and opening up the door. One or two even pretended to be "very tired" and saying they had to sleep and jokingly tried to close the room door on me. However, once we were in the room they all laughed, grabbed me and gave me a huge kiss. Was a great way to have a little fun before the real fun began. It certainly put all of them in a good mood. Looking forward to my return visit in May.

Hi everyone,

Due to the unfortunate situation in the Middle East, I'll be traveling through Bangkok and have a 20-hour layover starting from 8 AM. I'm Indian and this will be my first time in Bangkok.

I'll definitely go through the forum, but with limited time before my trip, I'm not sure I'll be able to gather all the key information. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could kindly guide me on how best to make use of my layover — areas to stay around, things to do during the day, and any tips for a first-timer.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Arrived in town last night, went to Thermae hoping to catch some past paramours (3 specifically, last year's was semi expensive but amazing).

But found the place closed. Was told something about "drinking" , which I figured out was not appropriately renewing and or bribing the people responsible for the liquor license.

Went back tonight, still closed. Hope it re opens before my week stay runs out.

Tons of trans women around though, if that's your thing.

Am not an expert, but here is my two cents.

Stay in Sukhumvit. Hit Fin69 for Nuru or Annie's or Tulip for soapy and go bar hopping in the evening.

I would suggest that you book an English speaking guide included with a private car. A bit pricey, but a good investment in my opinion. The link below is representative of options. You can discuss your specific interests with the guide / driver upon arrival; I'm sure some variance with listed venues and time can be made and perhaps the number of hours also. You should plan on 1 hour upon arrival and 2 hours before departure spent at the airport clearing immigration upon arrival and checking in for departure. An alternative might be to book a hotel that has a tour desk, so you can get a bit of sleep during your short stay.

Picks you up and brings you back to the airport.
