Chiang Mai

[QUOTE=Oharris]Heading back to CM next month, would not have even gone there but last time in Thailand BKK airport was closed. Glad I did. Anyone know beer bars around Raming hotel? Been to Pattaya, BKK, and Samui enough and got a bg in CM but only been there a day so looking for some options since I get there at 00: 30 on a Wednesday.[/QUOTE]

Anywhere you go from that place you will step into a bar. Left and right. Butterfly has some new talent. Linda Bar been pretty busy. But no lookers that I saw. Maybe they got BF'd early. Saw a stunner in BaBaBoBo the other night. No 1 Bar the girls are asking 2000Bht LT with a 500Bht bar fine. Some good looking ones there. And a word of warning a few VERY young ones.
Boxing Ring Bars have some good ones over the weeknd with not so many customers. Head to the back of the ring for better looking yings. But not all go with customers. So ask 1st.

[QUOTE=Mackin]Have booked a room at raming lodge for feb 2 and 3. Glad to hear it is decent place.

Mackin[/QUOTE]I contact with the hotels and they reply they charge 500BTH for ovenight quest.

Thx[/QUOTE]I stay at the Raming Lodge regularly and occasionally at the D2. If you ask about "Joining Fees" many hotels will charge you extra. Simply book the room for two people and then you don't have to worry about joining fees.

d cap, Do you know anything about a minunum stay during the comming weeks at Raming lodge

I've been in CM for a day, and just went out exploring a little last night (went to Cherry).

I didn't really do anything my first day, but at this point I have a few questions. I have searched this thread already a little bit just to fill in the blanks, but I apologize if there were some juicy tidbits already posted that I may have missed:

Firstly, I am staying at a very nice hotel that I don't believe will allow me to bring girls back (and I think I wouldn't want to anyway).

If I'm at Cherry, Star XiX, Spotlight or any of those bars in that area, where are some decent (maybe even "nice"), but cheap hotels that we could stop at? (and since I'm already at a hotel, it may not need to be for a whole night, unless that's typically the best way to do it).

Secondly, there were a few other places I wanted to hit up tonight but I have yet to find a location for them, but they were mentioned positively on this thread a few times. Lucky Massage and Kanha Karaoke. Webtites, address, or any up to date info on them would be much appreciated.

Lastly, I'm open to any other tips that I should know about with any of the previously mentioned places (Cherry, Star, Spicy, Lucky Massage, Kanha Karaoke, Spotlight). Particularly in regards to good prices (although I have gotten some of that already just from searching).

Thanks in advance!

From my experiences at Star XiX, if you don't have a place/hotel room to take the girl for ST, she will ask you to go with her to Bau Tong Lodge around the corner on Soi 3 off Loi Kroh Rd. It will cost you an additional 350 baht for the room for about 1hr.

The other option a bit further down the same soi is 300 baht room but DO NOT go to that place. It has roaches and is filthy. One time Bau Tong Lodge was full and we ended up at this place...it is not a place you want to do the deed.

Bau Tong Lodge is a clean, boutique style and is above decent. Someone stayed there LT and wrote about it recently...you can do a search.

Not sure where Foxy or Spotlight girls will take you for ST but you can always check out Bau Tong Lodge during the day, pick up a business card and then take a gal there. In fact, if you plan on doing multiples in one night, you might even consider booking a room for the night instead of paying 350 per gal/visit. ;-)

Enjoy Chiang Mai and report back on your adventures!

[QUOTE=Chedi]In fact, if you plan on doing multiples in one night, you might even consider booking a room for the night instead of paying 350 per gal/visit. ;-)[/QUOTE]

I was going to suggest the same thing. The room can't be more than 1k per night so you're better off booking for the night.

Hehe, right on. We were on our way to the Lodge (the girl gave me a choice and recommended it), but met another couple of lovebirds coming back from there, I guess the girl said it was full, so we all companionably went back to the cheap place. 200 baht, by the way. I saw far more roaches in Penthouse hotel in Pattayaland.

Star XiX was not much fun. There's a strange western miasma of guilt hanging over Chiang Mai .. well, at least the western-type places I saw last night. I'll try and get to the karaoke scene a bit later in the week. Still, the girl didn't let it get to her too much. She showed me the goods in the bar and let me maul her a bit. I liked the way she handled. Broken in, as it were. Before her, while she was still onstage, I bought a drink (80 baht) for a girl with a prettier face, who buzzed off to the toilet or whatever within a minute or two. Attitudes overall make slaughterhouse coolies seem cheerful by comparison.

My girl was not prime quality by a long shot, but definitely satisfying in a base way. I could carry her and fuck her in the mirror. Sounded to me like she said she's from a tribe called Wha. Khon Wha. Wha-tever. I paid her 1500 shorttime, but she's probably worth around 600. At the time she seemed like a worthwhile charity though.

Walked back, around Thapae Gate there were two specimens crouched in the shadows on the road on the inside of the gate, and a few likely-looking candidates on the traffic island on the outside. The shadowy specimens spoke to me from the brick they were squatting on. I wasn't interested so didn't bother with prices.

Songtow driver on the way back offered me some of his bananas and a karaoke tour. May be worth a 100 baht or so. But don't know if it's worth the effort of talking with him.

Anything you guys would like me to check out if I get a chance?

[QUOTE=Rocksoff]I paid her 1500 shorttime, but she's probably worth around 600. At the time she seemed like a worthwhile charity though. [/QUOTE]

1500 is too much but 600 sounds very low.

1000 is a nice price and you can get good value for money ;)

[QUOTE=NicFrenchy]1500 is too much but 600 sounds very low.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I didn't mean I'd actually offer her 600 ;) I just meant that she's a bit scuffed.

As a public service I can confirm that there is still a *****house or two operating on the soi off Nimanhemin Road. Previous directions in this thread from a few years back are spot on. The weird thing is that just around the corner is modern, stylish Chiang Mai, trendy bars, happy young Thai people. But enter the *****house and you're transported to a dingy twilight zone where time has stood still for a decade or two. There were three or four girls sitting around. Just as many soi dogs, equally at home. While I was having a beer, customers (young Thai guys) arrived, chatted, and went off with them into the back rooms. (Not with the dog dogs, of course.)

A stocky woman in her late thirties pounced on me and forcibly brought home to me what it feels like for a girl being pawed without regard to personal boundaries, by an uncouth pushy smoker with hard hands. You should all try this, for the sake of empathy. I tried my best to act the part, like a coyote girl who is disgusted and wants to keep her distance, but doesn't want to offend the customer.

I would rather wash floors than see any of these women naked.

After that I walked off in the direction of Santitham Road. I was just off Huay Kaew Road on some dark soi when someone on a motocy called me. It was the ***** who had been pawing me, hailing me like a long-lost friend! She gave me a lift to Santitham, she lives in a place on one of the side sois. She offered me longtime for 500 baht. Thanks but no thanks.

Santitham was the most Thai-feeling area that I've been to in Chiang Mai. I walked to the end of the lit part of the road and took a soi on the left. There's a quite a complex of trendy, clean, well-lit bars with more young Thais enjoying a wholesome good time. On the way back on the next soi down, looking back, I spotted the famiiar fairylights of loso entertainment. Turns out to be 99 Karaoke. Looks like the karaokes in Chiang Mai are all numbered.

I was greeted by almost complete indifference. After a few minutes a mamasan came to sell me a beer. There were about 15 free girls sitting around, another 5 or 6 seated with customers, and more coming and going, but no one looked in my direction. After about half a slow beer, a young papasan finally came up to chat, visibly relieved that I could stumble along in Thai, and we organized a shorttime within a minute or two. I don't think they're really unfriendly, they just don't want to be bothered with some inarticulate farang. Maybe they had bad experiences with farangs before.

I was OK with the puying he brought, petite and polite, 21 years old. Price was 1200 including room and 5 minute motocy ride to and fro the drive-in hotel, which is probably about double what it should be. But service was pitiful. Not unfriendly, but I really felt pity for the hapless little single mother doing her best so earnestly and awkwardly.

A 500 baht night with the old girl would probably have been pure gold for a monger without my silly fixation on youth and the transient illusion of beauty.

Rocksoff,

Nice Report

I find the old saying to be so true. We farang are too impatient to search and seek out what we really are looking for. Rather, we jump to quick later justifying ourselves with a positive critique. I have tried and tried to enjoy a few beers relax and take my time. If I follow my own rules usually another Miss Thailand will cross my path. Really, how long does it take? In a land where there are so many gorgeous women all with a smile and willing to please.

Opps there goes another one... got to go now...
