Why I Like Thermae Bar and Coffee...

I met up with a bunch of my best friends at one of my favorite watering holes in Ekkamai last night. Just catching up and shooting the shit like old times after my month long stay in Vietnam.

A few of them mentioned how much the Thermae has gone done the drain since the girls working inside started giving preferential treatment to the Japanese and Koreans. Now this wasn't something that just happened over night.

In general, Thai working girls have always preferred Japanese and Koreans for as long as I can remember. They love their skin tone, boy bands and TV soap operas.

That doesn't bother me though. To me, the Thermae is a great place to sit and have a chat with friends. Because it's relatively quiet compared to full blown go go bars with stereo loudspeakers on steroids.

One other big complaint about Thermae's hookers is you can't take a good look at the goods before you can take them to a room, either upstairs at the Ruamchitt Hotel (500THB hourly charge) or you can just book a room there if one is available. The Ruamchitt located between Soi 13 and Soi 15 is one of the areas most affordable hotel's on Sukhumvit road.

I've mentioned this already but most of the ladies at Thermae had babies. Most of the ladies I've been with working their have stretch marks on their stomachs. I realize that this is probably a deal breaker for most guys.

But most Thai girls that do have kids were knocked up when they were young. Possibly during their late teens or even earlier. So it's not that bad, at least my opinion.

Either way you can still find a few gems here and there stashed away on the soft seats or standing around the Thermae's stairway entrance in the back.

I like Thermae for its old school atmosphere. No I'm not quitting on the bars. But once in awhile I like to kick back in relative peace where the only sounds of music comes from a Jukebox. And I'm the chatty type so much so my friends say I can't shut up.

Inside, you don't need to shout at the top of your lungs just to tell your friends you have to take a piss. And many times my business partners and I enjoy chatting about business before taking a few girls out. And even if we don't take any girls out we still manage a good time just taking in the scene.

As I mentioned there are quite a few gems inside. And these girls are usually quite firm with their rates so no matter how much bargaining and complaining about your blue balls they won't give you a discount.

That's because they know they're worth and eventually a customer will come along and pay that 2500 Baht short time price.

In general, most girls inside Thermae charge 1500THB for short time. And these girls are in the 5s and 6s on the the scale of 10 for looks.

It is possible to find girls in the 7s and 8s but it goes without saying you're just going to have to cough up more Baht to get with one.

Update on Where to Stay in Sukhumvit

I've been off the blog grid for a month now and I've been getting a lot of request for information on hotels in Sukhumvit. Previously I have been writing sporadic posts on hotels with deals near the red light districts.

A lot of my older posts reviews and recommendations of guest friendly hotels close to Soi Cowboy and Nana are still accurate to this date. So there's no need to write an entire posts and take up space on this interweb.

But I've noticed a lot of hotel bookings from guys staying out in the boonies of Bangkok. And a lot of people still ask me for recommendations about where they should stay.

Folks, If you are reading this, I can not stress enough that if you want to enjoy go go bars and massage parlors do not choose a hotel on the far side of town. You are wasting time and paying for taxis. Which doesn't make sense if you're on a budget.

I understand that there are really cheap hotels out in the middle of nowhere. But there is nothing to do around that hotel because it is in the middle of nowhere. Except jerk off by your lonesome self in the confines hotel room.

There are many really affordable hotels near the bars and massage parlors. So there's no excuse you should be jerking off in your hotel room. Many of these hotels are only a 15 minute walk to Soi Cowboy and Nana. Some are 20 minutes max. A 20 minute walk is better than spending 150THB+ and getting stuck in traffic if you choose to stay at a hotel in the boonies.

Here's a hotel that's only around $40USD (as of writing) per night and it's about a 5 minute walk to Soi Cowboy and 20 minutes to Nana Plaza. It's called the Darjelling Hotel on Sukhumvit near the train stations.

Even if you find a cheap hotel on the other side of the town for $20USD remember you're going to have to pay for round trip taxi ride and wasted time. If you can't afford $40USD then I recommend saving enough until you have it before visiting.

Ok, I know many guys can't wait either their vacation time is limited or for whatever reasons. So if you can afford around $20USD a night and want to be near Nana Plaza's go go bars you many want to stay at Modelink Inn on Nana soi 4. It's a backpacker type joint (so you get what you pay for) but still a 10 minute walk to Nana's go go bars and street hookers. Staying at Modelink Inn beats staying at budget hotel in the middle of nowhere.

No matter what I would simply save enough money so I can stay at hotel in Sukhumvit. Bangkok's red light districts will most likely be around well after we're all dead.

For those who have money shooting out of their ass and can comfortably dish out $150USD I'd lay it down on Grande Centre Point Hotel Terminal 21. This 5 star hotel is right across from Soi Cowboy too and a 10 minute walk to Nana with scores of Hi-So pussy to gawk at in the mall attached to the hotel.

I have a lot of hotel recommendations on this blog of course because that's what this blog is all about. There are plenty of fine hotels in Sukhumvit for $50USD to $70USD per night withing stumbling distance to nightlife entertainment venues.

As I said all the info on this blog is still up to date. Do prices for certain hotel rooms may have gone up (or down) depending on the time you are reading this blog post. So do a search on this blog and I'm sure you'll find a place to stay that's just right for the amount that you want to pay. 

I'm Back...

Finally I am back in Thailand. I've been away for awhile mostly on business in Southeast Asia. I am retired and I do enjoy my retirement. But old habits die hard and I am a businessman at heart.

You see I am a professional gigolo. Just kidding. I wish but any lady that sees what I'm packing would want their money back.

Years ago back in farangland I was a business consultant as well as a business owner. No I'm not rich.

But I earned enough for a comfortable living with medical insurance and a nice cozy condo to lay my head in with a great view of Bangkok's city skyline every night. I'm not showing off but anyone who knows me knows I work like hell because I enjoy it. So I earned every bit of what I have with my brain and sweat.

So I was away in Vietnam this time on a new business venture with a group of friends from Singapore that I've know half of my life.

I was supposed to stay in Vietnam for a few weeks. But those few weeks turned into a full month. And every night was spent drinking with an equal amount of whoring around with some of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on.

As foreigners, we see Thailand as a playground for men around the world. But Thailand's red light districts is just the tip of the iceberg in Asia.

Macau, Shenzhen, KL, Shanghai, Guagzhou and perhaps another half a dozen of cities in Asia I can't remember off hand are a hot bed of red light districts. But you do need a friend in the know to help get around.

I have my business partners and friends to show me around and without them I wouldn't even dare step into the places they go to get their rocks off.

So now I'm back in Bangkok I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog as well as my website. I have a lot of questions to answer as well as a bunch of trip reports to review before I put them up on my website.

I had a chance to go through a few reports and I must say many of you have taken whoring around to a new level. I am impressed. Soon a bunch of you bastards will have your own blogs.

Thanks for sticking around even do I haven't written a post for a long while.

Alive and Well...

Nope, I'm not dead, not just yet. I'm out of Thailand now to take care of some personal matters but will be back soon. And much apologies to those who've been submitting trip reports for my website. I haven't had the chance to go through any until I get back. The reason why I cannot simply put up your trip reports without first going through them is because in Thailand, you have to be careful about what you say on certain subjects and matters. Finally I'd like to thank those who've sent me emails asking why I haven't been putting up any posts on this blog. Receiving emails from concerned degenerates really warms my heart. Just kidding. So I will be back soon with a lot of fresh blog posts.

Tips on Thai Go Go Bar Girls

6 Questions You Should Ask Before Paying that Bar Fine

Sometimes I get emails from guys who've recently visited a go go bar in Bangkok or Pattaya asking me if bar girls give blow jobs. And I'm scratching my head thinking what a dumb question. Of course bar girls give blow jobs. It's kinda like asking someone if the Pope is a Christian.

So I started asking back some question and this was all done via email. One guy mentioned he went to Angel Witch go go bar over at Nana Plaza and the girl never blew him. I asked if he asked her to perform oral and he replied no.

I know guys can be very shy for whatever reason. Don't be. I'm not implying you should be a total ass either. But asking a prostitute for a blow job will not offend her good senses. Prostitutes are also not mind readers.

And depending on the bar girl's attitude they may not take the initiative on providing top notch customer experiences.

I also know a lot of guys who simply assume that bar girls automatically do everything that we see on porno films like spankings, bondage or whatever else a guy does to get his rocks off. And if you're into anal with a lady you definitely should check and ask if she's into it because I can assure you not all bar girls are.

Along with bargaining for short and long time rates, you should also discuss what types of services you want and expect.

Now if you have a lot of questions on what services are to be expected, you should ask. Believe me, Thai prostitutes have probably heard it all so any sick perverted requests you may have may not even phase them at all. Worst thing that would happen is they'll say no and won't run away.

In any case here are 5 questions you should ask before forking over that bar fine:

1. Getting a Blow Job

All bar girls give blow jobs. It's part of the job description. Not unless they've just got braces. However some give covered blow jobs and some go bare back on their customers. If this is an important issue to you then you should ask before hand. If you really like the girl, and she only wants to give blow jobs with a condom, I really think you should respect her stance and not consider this a deal breaker.

2. Anal Sex

Personally, I'm not into anal sex. But I know many guys who are. And there are a lot of Thai girls that don't do anal, particularly the petite girls. Who can blame them?

So before you try sneaking your snake into that hole you'd better ask for permission to do so at the bar before you find out too late that she denies access to her glory hole.

I also received an email from one fellow who loved going to Akane Fashion Massage because I told him they have girls there that do rim jobs. Again, I'm not a fan of messing around with arseholes during a sex romp.

But I wouldn't be surprised if you'd find a bar girl that would decline eating your ass out. Doesn't hurt to ask. What's the worst that can happen?

3. 1 Hour Means 1 Hour

There's one particular bar girl I enjoying hanging out with at Rainbow 4. And a lot of times she gets picked up by customers for short time because she doesn't do long time. Speaking of long time, you should also make it clear that she shouldn't leave way before the sun goes up.

And there are short time rooms in Nana Plaza so a lot of her customers use the facilities there. A lot of times I've noticed that she's usually back down in about 30 minutes and not the full 1 hour her customers paid for.

Once I've even see her back down at the bar in 20 minutes.

Now I know a lot of guys don't care because once they blow their load then there's no point in keeping her on the full hour.

However, I know there are also a lot of guys that want the bar girl to stay the full hour they've paid for. For whatever reason, I don't know, maybe they want to chat or something. I can understand. After all, you should get what you pay for.

My personal opinion, just let her go. Otherwise you might want to study up on some ways to control blowing your load too fast

4. Massage

Yes, I do get a lot of questions wondering if go go bar girls provide customers with massage. The easy answer would be no. But if I think back through the years, there were girls that gave me a massage. I never asked for it. They just did it. So I suppose if you ask nicely you may get one.

But let's be serious, you wouldn't be getting a professional grade traditional Thai massage. Massages are not really a skill set owned by bar girls.

5. Going Down on a Go Go Girl

I avoid going down on prostitutes for obvious reasons. But yes, I know there are a lot of degenerates who absolutely love it.

In most cases bar girls won't allow it. Some won't even let customers suck on their nipples. But if you must, just be sure to ask her if you're allowed to go down on her.

6. Going in Without a Condom

This thought shouldn't even come across your mind. This is probably the only question that would freak out bar girls.

And even if you came across a hooker that consents to unprotected sex should set off those little alarm bells in the back of your head. Chances are, she's got something and is reckless enough to pass it on to you. 

It should go without saying while discussing with a bar girl on what types of services she provides you should do so as a gentlemen. Be respectful and she just might perform that special service she normally doesn't perform. 

The Centrino Serviced Residence, Surat Thani

There are more and more new hotels surfacing in the provincial cities and Surat Thani is no exception. The Centrino is centrally located and is mostly used by travelers on transit to or from the islands (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao).
We use it a lot when we need to be in the Surat Thani town, it's easy, cheap and convenient for us.
There is no elevator, so a room on the top floor may be slightly inconvenient when checking and/or out.

Then hotel has a car park and the internet in the rooms is fast! A basic, simple and straightforward hotel with nice and big enough rooms at a very reasonable price!
