I did a bit of research last night on the aircons and it seems a big part of the reason they make us sick is because the air coming from the aircon is so much colder than the surrounding air that it fucks you up. A lot of people appear to be having the same problem.

It seems the best way to go about fixing the situation is to now have it turned on quite so cold, and to not have it blowing directly down on you. Also, have it serviced, the entire unit where they take it apart, scrub it down and disinfect it, and clean the filter. I read not to do this yourself as they are a real bitch to take apart and put together if you don't know how. Then go to Foodland and buy a 3m filter, the kind you cut yourself, to put in front of the normal filters. Also check out the outside portion of it and see if it is accumulating water below or around it where mold could be growing.

I had this problem last year as well, but I feel like I got use to it after a while. We did have them cleaned though, so that could help. Fuck, I had a Thai girl stay over last week and the AC fucked her up, so I know that is what it is from.

Every morning in Chaing Mai I would wake up with mucus in my eyes, nose running or blocked, throat full of horrible shit, heavy chest. I put it down to all the dust and smog in the air (the farmers were burning their fields that week) coming through the aircon. It was horrible, I felt like when I got back to Bangkok I was finally breathing fresh air again, never thought I'd go to BKK for fresh air.

Just arrived in Bkk on Thursday, for 2 weeks.

In am staying in an apartment on Sukhumvit Soi 65, not too far from Thonglor / Ekkamai.

The name is: Aravinda Living Home. I found it on Agoda.

About 10-15 minutes level walk to the BTS.

Taxi back here from Cowboy (just looking!) last night was 60baht incl tip. ($2)

Is a fairly new place in a quiet residential neighborhood.
I think this place has the right appearance for a local non p4p girl.

The studio/apt is really just a generous size hotel room, with balcony.
Kitchenette includes a fridge and microwave.

Only criticism: The bed is hard as hell. They are supposed to be addressing that for me today.

I booked for two. Assume it is "guest friendly". Have not had the chance to try it yet.

Cost: 750baht per day ($25) On balance, the best deal I could find.

PM me if you want to know more, get together, etc.

The hard beds are normal in Thailand. When I was here the first time last year I hooked up with this girl and slept in her bed. The next morning I felt like I slept on the fucking floor. You get use to it after a while.

I think we are working on a Bangkok meetup. Check the meetup forum at the top of the Travel forum.

Yeah. I'm OK with a hard bed, but this has a sort of regular corrogated effect like there is spring wires in it. It's what we would call a base that the mattress goes on top of.
A topper pad should fix the problem.

A meetup will be good.

My bed in my accomodation of choice in Bangkok is thankfully not hard. Very comfortable. Seems like a good deal Antipodean, might look into it myself for my final month in BKK. If it's an apartment it should be guest friendly but you never know, a couple serviced apartment places I emailed replied saying no guests. Totally stupid rule, people want an apartment so they can do as they please not so they can have rules imposed on them like hotels do.

The apartment I had in Manilla last week was ok when I bought girls to the room, but a funny thing happened with the last one.
I saw her off at the elevator on my floor. Next thing she is back at my door. Turns out that security would not let her out of the building without my sayso.
I was impressed, but the girl (pipelined) was not.

Post: #33

Thats a good rule tho, stops her stealing your stuff and running off. I like it. Security at my usual place in BKK are mixed, sometimes they'll let a girl come up to my roon by herself and find me, other times refuse to even contact me on her behalf.

I am staying at lodge 61, I got a sweet deal at 700 baht a night, 3 star hotel on agoda. It's a little far from the soi cowboy area, which as others on here have mentioned, is not really my style. I'll go for a drink,but I am past my life revolving around getting laid, much less paying some whore to fuck me. Actually grosses me out about when I wonder how many 60 yr old nasty std ridden dicks have been in them. Getting laid happens when I want it to for the most part.

I got in on Friday, hit up soi cowboy just to check out the area, had one drink at 200 baht for a small ass glass. Girls were cute, but it was already late.... 130 or so and it was pretty dead, I have never seen a place turn on the lights, music off and close out everything in 30 seconds. My buddy and I rolled to spicy, got a bottle of finlandia for 2200 baht. Met a HiSo chick in there, I noticed she had a Tag on, she was tough to chat up initially, but then warmed up. No dice on the number which surprised me, it's been years since I got a no. I should have played the I just moved here card, but I try never to lie. ended up taking some drunk girl home from the after after hours spot, it was definitely full of pros. I was wrecked and barely remember hooking up. It trashed me for all of Saturday between jet lag sleep deprivation the days before and large amounts of alcohol. This heat has also been kicking my ass.

I got a 2 hour Thai massage today with that special herb ball thing for 750, and an hour foot massage for 250 baht at Health land spa on sukhumvit 61 ekamai 10. A huge upscale place, with good prices.

I am going to hit up Qbar tonight, maybe check out RCA depending, but after all the reviews QBar looks promising if a bit pricey. Anyone in the area that wants to meet up, pm me with your number if you have one. Or let me know if you plan on hitting up QBar tonight too.

Post: #35

Spicy is a strange place, first time I went on this trip there were no pros or sex tourists there and I got taken home by this nice girl to her condo. Spicy has been done up since I last was in BKK and I thought maybe the clientel had chaged and gone upmarket but every time I've been back since it's been sex tourist and pro central. Swing across the road will presumably be the place you went afterwards, thats 110% pro territory. I always have fun in these places but you run the risk of dealing with hookers who sometimes lie about being hookers and because there is the odd normal girl in the club you can never be sure about anyone there. Prob best avoided if you want to stay away from pros.

Post: #36

Meet up with clr the other day. And at the same time we encountered this Indian playboy with a family in the nightclub business. He brought us around to Q bar, Bed and Climax and payed for everything. He was shoving drinks in our faces. Really cool dude but beyond a couple of drinks alcohol is actually detrimental to my game so by 1am I was stumbling around with little intent or focus. As all out plain debauchery however it was all good though. Got some numbers I'm going to follow up on now before I get a couple of more hours of sleep. clr was moving through the babes like a bulldozer by the time I left.

Post: #37

Climax is another place that's good fun with the odd normal girl in there but it is about 90% pros and you can never be sure if the girl you met is legit or not. Some will lie about being pros then just when your about to go home ask for cash, happened to me a couple of weeks back. This girl was so fucking sweet, lovely and gorgeous too I was almost willing to forget about my no paying for sex rule but decided not to and told her I don't pay and to go back in the club. I just went home as it was about to close. A wasted night even if it was fun.

Post: #38

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Climax. Grimy and the girls where old. Indian dude payed for everything though and at that time I had too much to drink to be of any use to anyone.

Post: #39

Clr and Antipodean, since you guys are staying near Ekamai anyway, why bother going back 4 BTS stations to the pro laden clubs on Soi 11?

Post: #40

Girls aren't usually old, tends to be young girls. I like the fact it's a live band because it makes it a bit more lively, you actually get plenty of people down the front dancing instead of just standing round their tables but when 90% are pros I suppose it doesn't matter as it's just a waste of time most nights. Still when you're in the area and normal bars and clubs are closed it's an option. I'll need to check out some of the after hour places in Ekkamai and Thong Lor to see if the HiSo girls have loosened up a bit by the time they end up there.

My main focus is day game and pipelining. I called in to Cowboy one night and Nana another, on the way back to the apartment from the malls, just to have a beer and watch the sights. It's not pretty.

BTW, I was puzzled how the beer could be warm in cold bottles. It turns out that they pour tap beer into the chilled bottles, and sell it as bottled beer!

Post: #42

Where did they pour tap beer into the bottles? Never had that happen before, that I know of. I could be wrong, but I don't think that is normal.

That bar was the one at the western end of Soi Cowboy, with pool tables inside. The food was good.
They were trying to please me, but they just could not produce a bottle of beer with the top still on it, when I challenged them.

I think the same thing was happening in the "resto bars" when I was in Davao. One place was serving the local 7% Red Horse beer in half liter bottles for less than you could buy it at the supermarket. They bring the bottle out with a glass and a bucket of ice. You put ice in the glass and add beer. The beer is not cold but at 7%, a bit of ice/water is ok!
Most of these places seem to bring the beer bottles out without tops on.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, just a quirky observation.

More importantly, are we having a meetup this weekend?
I'm only here for another week.

Post: #44

This is not normal for them to serve tap beer poured into a bottle. My beers always come out cold in a bottle but it goes warm quickly because of the temperature hence why Thais drink beer with ice. They just take the cap off at the bar before serving it to you, which is normal in most places in the world I've been. I think you're probably mistaken tbh.

After a couple of false starts I am now in full gear. Pulled one of the hottest girls of my life yesterday (and I lost count of notches a long time ago). Thai-chinese office girl with wasp like waist, disproportionally big boobs and an ass that would be considered a traffic hazard in most countries. Got her down to her panties but wouldn't let me dip, used every trick in the book but she wouldn't budge so I'm shooting for a 2nd date. Gave me a world class bj however. She was incredibly sweet and caring in that way that makes you loathe western women. Oh and a ran my hand down her panties to make 100% sure she was no dickgirl (that would have ended with murder).

Had a real good laugh when she was at my place with MTV on and she called Adele "great singer but fat and lazy". They don't make them like this back in other parts of the world.

Great meeting up with you vicious. It's funny because I started talking to the Indian guy thinking he was vicious. I went to the wrong bar first I went to bed when I meant to go to q bar. Vicious I think you got a little too drunk!! I the indian guy was paying for a lot of stuff but I got a few rounds myself. Good times! Lots of fun.

I got so many numbers that night I'm still working through them. This is an interesting town one of the girls who's number I got Has been texting me a lot and I invited her over this Morning at 4 AM. I thought maybe she was a working girl so I told her numerous times in many different ways that I was not going to pay her or give her any money but she came over anyway. Then she wanted to hold my dick all night long but said she's not a lady of the night and If I want to fuck, to go find a lady of the night. Turns out she is a hairstylist at a very nice salon. She paid for Her own taxi both ways interesting.

I wasn't too worried as I just left the bed of an extremely rich Thai girl that I met. She has the 50th floor penthouse, a three bedroom apartment at one of the nicest hotels in Bangkok. I guess her dad keeps in so when she goes out she stays at the hotel rather then driving home. I met her at a high-end party she was sexy as hell and someone told me she was rich and only flies on private jets and is very hard to get so of course I wanted her.

I took her on an instant date from the party to dinner. Her gay friend is a fashion designer and apparently has a fashion show coming up May 2 which he gave me 2 invites to. He said he's going to introduce me to all the models You should never underestimate the power of befriending the gay guy.

Turns out Richgirl is married but told me she has an open relationship. Daddy is super rich apparently. It's fun to see the progression of her from the somber serious classy girl at the bar to the fun goofy naked in be with me girl. The funniest part is she has a driver that was taking us all around to the other places we went and she called him to take me home!

I'm starting to understand the allure of this town. Especially when you are NOT at Soi cowboy.

Also it surprises me how many girls with joke about being lady boys.

Hehe, a little? It's no secret I don't hold alcohol that well and Indian dude probably handed me 7-8 drinks over the course of the night, and that was on top of what I had from earlier. Hell I was still feeling the after shocks of Monday night this morning. Anyhow, great meeting up with you. Hit me up any time of the week if you wanna wing or just chill and compare notes.

Told you it was shit. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's a grim place. Waste of time unless you're into paying for sex or want to mess about with whores.

I hate that, I was just about to stick it in a girl in week one of my trip when she starts joking about being a ladyboy, I was 99% sure she wasn't, she was soaking wet for a start and not at all masculine but it put doubts in my mind and I couldn't fuck her, instant boner killer. She thought it was hilarious and kept saying it and giggling like mad.

There are plenty of horny non working girls in Bangkok who love foreign cock and will go to great lengths to get it. Couple weeks back I text a girl at some stupid time of the morning, she texted back that she was at home and had been asleep, I asked her to come over. 30 minutes later she was knocking on my door.

Congrats on pulling the rich girl, haven't pulled one as rich as that with private driver etc but had a few girls with decent cash and they really liked to treat me and splash the cash. People always seem to talk either about pro's or HiSos on here, most of us should forget them both and go for the ones in between. The ones not so poor they're just after your money or a passport and not so rich they don't give a shit about you, this is my niche.

Where are you guys typically going out? I have been to Bangkok for about 5 days and I can echo the sentiment that paying for sex is unnecessary but I suppose the only sure thing (i have not done it yet - i feel too dirty haha). I have found that most thai girls actually like foreigners but can also be pretty conservative so a ons with a non-working girl is most certainly not guaranteed. I have brought home a chick 3/5 nights I have been here but only had sex with one of them. Almost always when you meet girls they are trying to position themselves for a longer-term relationship and not casual sex. That is why I agree the key is to go to late night clubs as your chances are much higher (all but one pull have been from after hours spots). I have personally found safe house to be pretty cool.

Overall I think the key to game here is social circles. Thankfully people here seem to be pretty open to meeting new people. The last 2 nights I have gone out to funky villa and both times I have met cool groups there by just introducing myself to random people - i typically address the guys in the group first. They then introduce me to girls there - either in their group or not. As a bonus I have gotten free bottle service both nights doing this also.

I think the biggest obstacle I have found is just the conservative nature of many girls here. One of the first questions I get asked by girls is do I work here, how long will I be here, etc. I think it makes it a lot more difficult because I only plan to be here until May 17. Out of curiosity, How do you guys address this question?

Overall I think if you lived here it would be absolute paradise. I am probably getting a 95% hit rate with girls asking for numbers, and as an average looking guy with minimal game I am getting a lot of looks both on the street and at the clubs I go to. Although this is good, the fact that I am partying so much (I sleep until 4-5 everyday) and only here for a short time I do not really have the drive to actually date these girls haha.

Post: #50

Yeah I was talking with clr about the very same thing today. You have to pace yourself with the partying or this town will chew you up.
