Re: Dedicated to BKK's a-go-go recommendations

Hit Nana Plaza at 8.30 pm on 7th June 07.

1 st bar visited was Play skool ( ground floor on the right ) at 8.30pm.
- Large bar with one big pole dancing area in the middle.
- 20-30 average ladies, ages ranging from young to late twenties.
- Bar fine is 600 baht, ST 1500, LT 3000.
- Crowd, near empty.
- Music was so so.
- Chang beer at 125 baht.
- Not that pushy for lady drinks.

2nd bar visited was Obession ( ground floor near the end ) at 8.50 pm.
- Small bar with center stage. Good music. Good ambience.
- About 35 ladies.
- Many stunners, slim, sexy, firm boobs, nice looking, model quality and horny.
- Average crowd.
- Gin Tonic at 135.
- Not pushy for lady drinks. Only one lady was pushy.
- Much better LADY BOY bar than Casanova.

Next bar was G-Spot on second floor at 9.00 pm.
- Two large pole dancing areas in this large bar.
- Not much crowd. So so music.
- Chang and gin tonic at 135.
- No shows.
- 25 ladies. 4 good looking SYTs. The others are below average.
- # 90 ( my favourite not in ). # 75 also stunner with nice firm tits.
- # 21 is good looking. # 34 darker but also good looking.
- # requested #21 to sit with me. And immediately she wants to go out with
me ( vulture ). Not my type. Too pushy. Then, she went off to a farang
when i said NO.
- She later danced at the smaller pole dancing stage with2 other pu ying.
- I left, gave the other 2 girls 20 bath tips but gave her nothing ( lost of face
to her ).

3nd bar was Angel Witch at 9.35 pm. ( 1st level on right )
- Small bar with 35 girls.
- 90% of the girls are below average looking and below average bodies.
- But not so pushy for ladies drinks. Nice ladies for small talk.
- Very good up beat music.
- Damn good shows with a few i have not seen before.
- Gin tonic, Heineken at 135.
- Accompanied by 4 ladies which i did not bar fine. Bill including drinks for all
was 1125 baht. Okay for 3 hrs stay there.

4th bar was Rainbow 2 at 12.40 pm ( Ground Floor at far end center )
- Most asian crowd.
- Almost closing time so less girls and crowd.
- Told 3 girls , 2 waitress, 2 Mamasan who wanted drinks to F off politely.
- Very pushy for drinks.
- Nice, young ladies, many stunners ( but all are hungry vultures for money ).
- No shows in any Rainbow bars ( 1 to 4 ).

Wah, what a bar crawl.. 4 in 1 night. Nice account. Seems Obsession got stunners, but you only spent little time there.. Guess damage quoted for 1 pax customer (yourself)?

Re: Dedicated to BKK's a-go-go recommendations

I know because I kenna before. Dragged in. If there are many tables occupied already then they won't force you or pester for LD la. But if no one else around to pester except you... you will kenna big time.

All the girls look good because it's designed one. Not natural.

JaoChoo & yinyang

Actually only 5 customers ( 3 farangs, 1 Thai, me ) inside Obession at that time. Yes, LB ( very good looker !!! ) came immediately and asked ( shyly, soooooo demure liked ) to sit with me. I smiled and said in Thai " Mai aoi khap, khop khun khap ". She insisted, I repeated my what i just said. She buzzzzz ed off and all the while all the LB's eyes were on this action. They understood that i am not interested. No other " girls " then pester me for drinks though a few keep smiling, blinked their fake eye lashes, darted their tongues at me. Bet that such actions from them would make a naive newby very horny, but, not me.

I knew it was a lady boy bar. Never been to one.Went in to check it out. And never will go in again !!!.

Actually crawled 7 bars on that night. The first was a small non agogo bar on Soi 6. Then went to the open air bar at the entrance to NEP (on the right ) to meet a bar girl i knew long time ago.

To mcws31 who got chopped in MP.
My advise............................................ ..............................................
CRAWL the MPs. CRAWL the bars. Wide choices available for both in Bangkok.

I been there almost every month for 3-4 days every visit for the past 6 years on assignments. Will be there again, around mid July (date unconfirmed until the assignment details are more concrete ).

To yinyang,

Actually, me always alone ( except with a bevy of pussies around me, and some fat and ugly waitresses, and a few mamasans ) in bars. I have a nasty but excellent habit. Always seeked out N0. 1 mamasan in bars. Give her a few drinks, small talk , be nice ( and calculative ), small tips, some food. And ended not bar fining anyone on first visit. All enjoyed. Sanuk !!!.

Second visit, same procedure with mamasan. Asked her to recommend pu yings but again , i will not bar fine.

Third visit, same story but bar fine a girl who will be well advised by mamasan to be extra good to me. And the girl will usually be more service oriented because mamasan is a good pal of mine. Any thing i am not happy with, the girl will know that i will speak to mamasan about the lousy service, manners, attitude of the girl i bar fined.

Sure, yinyang, we can have drinks and fun together. No problem. More fun, actually. You, alone, ended up in the artist bars in Suk Soi 33 ?. Nice ladies there , just like in Soi Thaniya. But Soi 33 bars are " dead " bars. No up beat action there like in Soi Cowboy, Patpong, NEP.

Ever been to pick up joints as in Beer Garden Soi 7, or in Themae ?.

Not nasty, but strategic leh. Solo too most occassions, but not so steady or kah as you. Err.. half truth, when I under declare to my (non-WL) gal on my arrival and departure.

Soi 33 seen their heydays some years back. Caught up with some old contacts in Dali, some Jap bar (Casablanca?), Renoir, Office and few others in same stretch. Gals looked better 4 years ago during my initial forays .. or probably I was wet behind the ears then keke. Kns, Dali bar still got that dragon mamasan trying to fleece LDs from me (no payback 1) when I dropped by last month. Good for HH for chillout but bar fine is OTT 1200-1500 (simply not worth it).

Saw some link to Soi Thaniya today... tempted to check out next time. You tried? Seems jap based and $$$? Was in some jap restaurant last month there..

Soi 7 beer garden .. once daytime. Aiyoh, cmi types..but angmohs didn't seem to mind. Thermae.. heard plenty, not too inclined. Ben to intramurra stretch? Very local thai joint. LTs 2k and LDs + makan cheap. Twice there on my own. Dinner + few btls heine + few LDs ard600. Only handicap is my non existent thai. Get what you pay for.. aggs there kinda grotty or tatty.

PM you when I'm about ready. Cheers

Lives up to dead artistes namesakes... quiet even on fridays. Dunno how they survive. On my rare visit last month, I siam bar fine 1 hour b4 close on a slow night and gal met up with me 100m nearby outside Peep Inn (short time hotel, with some jap rub down joint). Jumped into her cab to my htl to finish the job

Talking Re: Dedicated to BKK's a-go-go recommendations

Hello,

I've been to Soi 7 beer bar and Thermae many times! Soi 7 Bar Beer - after 4:00 pm, lots of freelancers, majority of the girls already had babies (85%). Majority of the girls are average looking but once in a while, you will find a gem! Only once I barfined a college student, she's pretty Thai Chinese girll! After 8:00 pm, all the girls will go to Thermae.

Thermae - tons of girls, you'll find girls ranging from 2 - 9 ratings. Best time to go to Thermae is beginning of the month and ending of the month because you'll find several office girls, students and nonworking girls looking for money to pay their rent. My experience been negative and postive, once in a while you'll find a gem, keep searching! I dislike going to Thermae because if you're there over 30 minutes it seemed you smoked pack of cigarette. One of my good friend met a hail stylist and married her after 15 months of courtship!

Now, I usually go to Siem Hotel Coffee Shop to hunt for attractive Thai Chinese girls. Tons of girls outside surrounding coffee shop and inside looking for tourist like you and me. If you don't have funds to barfine attractive Thai Chinese girls, go to Lumpini Park. That's another interesting story, picking up Thai girls from Lumpini Park! Antalai antalai mak mak!

Re: Dedicated to BKK's a-go-go recommendations

Beer Garden Soi 7:
Been there a couple of times. Many girls. Looks and bodies ranged from bad to okay. A few stunners. Good cheap food. Drinks are cheaper than in gogo bars. Okay to start here before the real bar crawling adventure.

Thermae :
Also been there a few times. As brother norice said " Tons of girls ", better looking FLs and the drinks are even cheaper than in Beer Garden. Saw a few very , very good looking SYTs. Bad , low volume music ( from a juke box ).
Too bright for auto roaming ( but can see all the SYTs assets or liabilities ).
Mixed crowd of customers. Gin Tonic when i last visited was 80 baht !!!.

Soi Thaniya.
Been to a few restaurants and into an upstairs KTV. Very pro Yii pun. Damn expensive drinks.Drinks, KTV facilities, bar fine, ST or LT not worth it ( my opinion only )

Soi 33 Sukhumvit.
About same number of bars as MPs. Went inside a bar once, walked out immediately. Dead place. But very nice SYTs along the soi. Been to Teen Massage twice. First time went in and 3 japs were squeezed uncomfortably onto a small sofa that was meant for 2 and all 3 were eyeing a line up of 12. I waited to see the jap action. They were undecided. One Jap asked me if i am a country man. I replied in negative.
I looked at the line up and said in thai " Waaaaaaaa, so many nice beautiful girls ! ". And the line up came alive !!!. Much to my delight. They wiggled, smiled, laughed, blinked their eye lashes,etc, etc, etc.
Picked one, selected 2 hour " BALLS " massage. Paid up. And went up to 3nd floor and to the best BALLS massage that i am now still dreaming for .................................................. ...............( to be continue ) .

Talking Re: Dedicated to BKK's a-go-go recommendations

Yokosi,

Soi Thaniya's Karaoke Bars' prices are not that expensive, the price is reasonable due to abundance of sexy and attractive girls! No other places have that many Thai Chinese sexy girls in one location!

Seems like you had a good time at Teen Massage. Therefore, I also want to visit Pink Massage and Orchid Massage during my next trip to Bangkok. Based on my research, Pink and Orchid has best looking girls for oil and lotion massage.

Re: Dedicated to BKK's a-go-go recommendations

I have a habit of visiting Soi 7 beer garden once or twice in every trip to BKK. Women to men ratio is great ; Quality is below average IMHO. I think most girls there prefer ST. Their asking price is around 1000B for ST. I have never taken any girl from there so far. Stop by there because the location is very convenient and also I can have some food in the open-air food court in the same soi.

I made it to the hostess bars in Sukhumvit soi 33 a number of times in the past. Barfined girls in different bars probabaly half a dozen times. Pity that my experience of all these barfines from the hostess bars in soi 33 was not good at all. Tried picking average looking girl and older girl from there too. Still could not manage one good experience up to now.

Never been to Thermae, cannot comment.

In agogo scene, I usually stop by Rainbow bars and check out what's the fuss there as hearing so much about them. Never like Rainbow 1 on ground floor. Spent quite alot of times in Rainbow 4 on second floor. Rainbow 4 is packed all the time. Girl selection is not too shabby. However, I sensed attitude issue merely looking at their dancing on the stage. I never barfined from there. Some friends mentioned bad barfine experience in the past due to attitude issue.

Out of curiosity, I also walked into Rainbow 2 to take a look in my last trip. This place appears much better. Plenty of girls worked there ( I was told over 150 ). Quite a number of them ranked 7.5-8.0 category in my book. Unlike their Rainbow 4 sisters, they seems more service oriented.

Not sure about Thai agogo at Intramara soi 2. A couple of members of this forum brought me there once. Didn't spend enough time there to form an opinion.
