Bangkok Reports

[Mogwai]

Curious how you all do it for dinner though? Is it normal to eat alone? Any good places to handle that solitude?

Yes, it's normal to eat alone. Except maybe at high-end restaurants. But in the Sukhumvit area there are mostly budget and medium range restaurants, where you will see many mongers and also Thai people eating alone.

Do you need a script like in the USA?

No you don't.

At 7:00 pm The go go bars in the Nana Entertainment Plaza and on Soi Cowboy will be just opening and the lineup might be a bit reduced. But you'll be welcome. I'd say prime time is 9:00 pm To Midnight. FWIW Soi Cowboy these days is, in my view, a tourist trap. Full of civilian gawkers. Riddled with multiple ripoff bars run by "The Arab. " Basically coasting on a rep that dates back to the Vietnam War.

So when I was walking through Soi Cowboy I saw families with kids, it was bizarre, why are you dragging your 8 year old here? What is the purpose? Agree with people gawking, just seemed stupid to me. But I guess they want pictures to post on IG on their exotic vacation.

It seems like times of 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM seem to be perfect time to visit bars on Nana and Soi Cowboy. . . I plan to wear a clean button down shirt and shorts or a nice T-shirt and shorts. Is wearing a baseball cap OK?

Then buy a drink at Baccara or Crazy House (which is actually on Soi 23) and call it good.

As for attire, just about anything goes, including a baseball cap. It goes without saying that being freshly shaved and showered is a must. I carry breath mints and/or gum -- which I use frequently and give away to the girls. Finally, I'm a big fan of good cologne, and I'm surprised by how often the girls compliment me on it.

Take a day trip. Lots of options. Just query Google. Go to MBK. Headquarters for a lot of counterfeit stuff from clothing to electronics. Also, a lot of food court options.

Go to a movie.

Shop for clothes in Pratunam. Or visit some tailor shops.

Hang out in the Soi 4 beer bars..

Appreciate the advice. I'll be looking for many day trips and things to do during the day. I'll mainly keep the mongering for the evenings there. Curious how you all do it for dinner though? Is it normal to eat alone? Any good places to handle that solitude?

Hi Mates, I'm heading off to BK soon (20 days), and while I'm sure I can fill my time at night (partying) and mornings / early afternoon (gym), I'm struggling on what to do in the times in between. Some time I can fill with sightseeing, but especially having dinner's alone is something I dread tbh. So question to you fellow mongers out there; What do you do when alone in Thailand? Any easy way to socialize with other Monger's before we split?

I confirm Peach (ex-Sena) is at Aurora33. Also, closer to the Phrom Phong station, they have a sister business of equal quality, Aurora Massage 24, on Sukhumvit 24.

If you like to navigate in a place employing old unattractive women and men disguised as ladies with their dick cut off their bodies, all the while pretending they are some young innocent girls, these Aurora massage places in Bkk are your best bet, especially the one in soi 33.

[Oskarr1981]

If you have 3-4 hrs at the airport you can get to that area in Sukhumvit33 where aurora33 and many other places are:

1. Buy a train ticket to 5th stop Makassan. 10min ride

2. There get out and walk 5min following the signs to the MRT blue line (phetchaburi station). But a ticket for the next stop south (Sukhumvit).

3. Googlemap and walk 10-15 minutes.

From there, if not happy, walk another 10 min to BKKVice.

First, Bangkok is a major tourist destination. There are easily 20 days of tourist stuff that can occupy your days. Second, if you want to stick to mongering, BJ bars and massage places are a good way to spend the afternoon.

Where is the best place to get Viagra or Viagra equivalent near Nana? I imagine in the chemists? Last time I was there loads of it sold on the street but not sure if real or not. In Bangkok July 31. Usually start off in Stumble Inn.

Do you need a script like in the USA?

[SinCitySinner1]

I hope you enjoy your first trip to Thailand.

Best time is your time. Bangkok is a 24 hour city. I have breakfast at 0800. Get my dick sucked at 0900. Starting my day at 1000.

All of this true!

From the time the venues open until the time they close.

At the high end clubs in Bangkok they have dress codes. I am a low places guy. I have yet to denied entry of a venue based how I was dressed.

I hope you meet your objectives!

Thanks much! I appreciate your input.

Good Day Fellow Mongers! Some of you might remember me from my past posts. I am very thankful for all the advice that I received leading up to my first international trip. At this time of me writing this post, my trip is only 4 months 11 days away.

I hope you enjoy your first trip to Thailand.

Time: One of the biggest question is what is the best time of the days to monger.

Best time is your time. Bangkok is a 24 hour city. I have breakfast at 0800. Get my dick sucked at 0900. Starting my day at 1000.

I will be basically going to Go-Go Bars, Soapy places, and picking some a free lancer or two. Based on my independent research, it seems like times of 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM seem to be perfect time to visit bars on Nana and Soi Cowboy. It also seems that you can get some good value for the money picking up a FL after 2:00 AM. - which is when typically all the bars close. My research also shows that going to the bars earlier allows you to take advantage of cheaper drinks for happy hour. TBH I don't care much for happy hour. I would rather take a nap in the late afternoon so I can be up into the wee hrs, but willing to venture out earlier in the evening if more talent is going to be available. But definitely not for cheaper drinks. LOL.

All of this true!

I am finding it a bit hard to research what time I should try and hit the soapy massage places.

From the time the venues open until the time they close.

IAttire: What is the typical acceptable clothing for go-go bars. I have seen people dressed mostly in very casual clothes. I plan to wear a clean button down shirt and shorts or a nice T-shirt and shorts. Is wearing a baseball cap OK. Some strip clubs in United States don't allow wearing any headgear, while some are OK w / it. Especially in S. Florida where I have lot of experience going to strip clubs. I don't think it should be a problem in Thailand but I thought checking with experienced mongers won't hurt.

At the high end clubs in Bangkok they have dress codes. I am a low places guy. I have yet to denied entry of a venue based how I was dressed.

I hope you meet your objectives!

It has been a long time since I was in Bangkok too many years for me to count. But visiting two weeks ago some things hadn't changed, the bars in front of Nana were still filled with old guys on pensions complaining about things along with the older ladies in their 40's-50's keeping them company. I spent 3 nights at Maison Hotel and thank you whoever posted about it. Location couldn't have been better I booked through Agoda for 65/ night.

First the girls, it's the low season so talent was a bit sparse in the bars. I walked through Nana and Soi Cowboy and the girls were so aggressive that it was a turnoff. I used ThaiFriendly a bunch and was happy with the results, most quoted between 2-3 k ST which was fine, only one girl insisted on covered BJ. I also stopped by Thermae Cafe, it was an amazing line up of 5-6's. There were exactly 3 hotties the night I visited as I watched they turned down a few guys and said yes to two asian punters. Clearly they could afford to be picky, the last one quoted me 3 k and of course she was one of the worse performers showing yet again that looks often precede poor service. I was surprised at the large Indian / Pakistani population opposite Nana but should mean good Indian food. I talked to a few of the girls they mentioned Indians often come in groups and try to negotiate multiple guys for one girl each guy paying 500-1 k. Some girls are desperate enough to say yes. The highest I was quoted was 5 k by a very pale young stunner, she was willing to come down to 4 k for ST but no more. She looked like a k-pop idol so I am sure she gets takers. Just not really something I would pay extra for.

On my last day I visited Aya Massage, I was on my way to the airport so didn't walk around but I should have, there were a few massage places a block away that looked interesting with better talent than I saw at Aya. Aya itself was straight forward, walk in pick a package and ask for a line up, I showed up in the middle of the day and couldn't pull the smoking hot manager I would rate the girls 6-7's. Service was good and I went on my way to the airport a happy man.

Bangkok itself had changed a lot since I was there keep in mind when I used to visit there was no BTS. I was thinking of Bangkok as a retirement spot but the heat, traffic and pollution took it off the list. The condos are great, I walked around Thonglor and liked it, but couldn't get over the constant gridlock. I know some people rave about Chiang Mai so might check that out next year.

[KyivBound1986]

Not sure if every pharmacy stock original Viagra but they will have generic options. Once asked for Kamagra in a side soi in Thonglor. They didn't have it. But otherwise I haven't been to a pharmacy around Sukhumvit that wouldn't sell you anything. South East Pharmacy is a sure bet (by soi 15).

Don't buy of the street vendors. Especially if you go for the gels. Drugs are temperature sensitive.

Thanks. Blez pharmacy is across from nana plaza so will get it in there during the day. Will get Sidegra as similar to viagra and way cheaper.
