I had a girl waiting to meet me but I wasn't prepared to leave the hotel because of the weather, not just that it was raining REALLY heavy but the street leading out of my hotel was ankle deep in water. Just as it started to go off a bit she texts to say she's gone home.

What I hate the most about the weather is just the fact that of the three nice outfits I brought to go out in they are all starting to get pretty beat up and the rain is making this city just that much more dirty. I just cannot really afford to wear out nice clothes in this weather. I have had to go to all my dates in shorts and boat shoes now. Thankfully it has not really been hurting my game at all - although I may have trouble gaming in clubs.

As an update, I did decide to go to kho san road again last night after my success last time. I went to some bar with a girl from thai friendly and then to "the club". The club was substantially worse than last time but some of that could be attributed to the weather. The ratio was not very good this time and there seemed to be fewer hot europeans. With that said though I actually got invited to a table with a number of hot farang hunters (or passport hunters). At first I thought they may be prostitutes but after talking to them for awhile I decided otherwise (she had good answers for all my questions about what she studies and where she works part time). Needless to say I ditched my thai friendly date who was not that hot (maybe a 5-6) for this hot thai (probably 7-8) - great body just had did not have great teeth. In the morning she did not ask me for any money and just left so it seems my judgement was correct.

I still wear nice clothes out on dates and nights out regardless of weather, there's no way I'm going out in shorts. I don't feel the rain makes them get dirty other than my shoes which are impossible to keep clean in Bangkok anyway.

The Club does seem to have some potential for picking up non pro Thai girls who are farang friendly but I don't really like it much as a venue. Too many annoying backpackers. I don't really like going to clubs when I'm on a date either, I don't see the point, clubs for me is when I don't have a girl and want to find one. I'd rather just bar hop with my date and then go back to mines, going to a club just means being out later, spending more money and having to deal with drunken idiots.

Did you ditch your date and leave her in the club alone to go off with this other girl? How did she take that?

I've got the girl I was supposed to be meeting last night guilt tripping me saying because she waited around so long for me in the rain without me turning up that she's sick today and couldn't go to work. Hopefully no rain tonight, I'm meeting a different girl at kowsan and would like to actually go out and enjoy tonight instead of being held hostage by the weather.

Normally I would agree with you regarding the clothes (i usually overdress) but unless I go to siam paragon to buy more clothes I am going to have to be pretty careful about wearing them. Also you are right about the shoes. The shoes I normally wear out are $200 loafers and rain/mud is terrible for them.

The only reason I brought that girl to the club is because honestly, I did not think she was that hot and I did not really want to hook up with her. I did ditch her, and I think she is quite livid with me (I texted to apologize but I doubt it will mean anything). I kinda feel like a dick about it but I made it pretty clear in the beginning when I met her that I did not want anything serious and she did want something serious so I said we should be friends. I did not leave her totally alone she was with a friend (who was unfortunately with another guy - hopefully i did not screw that aussie over).

I do think that kho san is a good place to find very foreigner receptive girls. I think the key though here is you really need to stand out from everyone else and make yourself look unique. There are a ton of european/western guys here but most are backpackers and very similar terms of the way they dress/act. You will mostly find meatheads, hipsters, and a jersey shore type crowd and they TYPICALLY do not really dress up. I think if you would put yourself in those categories it would be more difficult to find girls unless your game is really tight or you are very good looking - there is a lot of competition.

I think I am doing alright there because I do not act or dress like most of the other guys. I tend to dress like I would going to a club in NYC or at the very least how I would dress at a country club (nice chino shorts, button down, boat shoes - I only wear this to kho san road though).

Good luck on your date tonight (although I doubt you need it haha). Thats another thing that really confuses me though about how all these girls want to go on dates to kho san road. It is so far from where I live haha and for the most part I am not a giant fan of the area.

Post: #179

i laughed when i read it's pronounced "law" not "lor". i pronounce both those words exactly the same so not that helpful.

i haven't seen many hipsters on khao san rd. hippies, yes - in abundance, in their shitty fisherman pants with dreadlocks. but not hipsters. bangkok is too mainstream for them to go there haha.

by all accounts, the weather is lamentable there at the moment.

once you go to demo you never want to pick up thai girls anywhere else.

Maybe not hipsters. Honestly, I am not really up to date on the lingo and always viewed hipsters/ hippies as kind of the same thing.

Ya I have been to demo and it is all right. My thai friend actually works there so I go there occasionally. With that said though, I feel like Demo is pretty group oriented so unless you are going with a number of people (I am usually going alone) it is more difficult.

Post: #181

I haven't been to Demo in 6 months or so. If it's like it used to be, though, it's absolutely jam-packed with top 5% girls on Fri/Sat. Like, can't-move-from-your-table packed. It's a wonderful sight, but expect more than a few of them to be coked-out models who are "deep" in the music (see below).

Downside: it's where music, and your eardrums, goes to die. The worst things ever come out of those speakers, I don't care if you like that type of D&B "music," it's terrible. Don't expect to hold conversations with people, even those standing next to you.

If you want a similar but classier crowd, go to Funky nextdoor.

Re: law vs lor - it's closer to lor, only because lor is the Thai transliteration for หล่อ. I find most Thais transliterate อ as '-or' not '-aw' which would be closer to the vowel '-า'. Then they stick r's after อ a lot in their transliterations (maybe the conductor could chime in on this, although it's not exactly a big deal..). I encourage those of you staying in Thailand for a while to learn at least the alphabet and consonant sounds from a native speaker. Good pronunciation goes a long way.

bigdrov1x, sorry man, but your transliterations are terrible - but it's OK, because most all transliterations are. To those wanting to pronounce correctly, learn the alphabet as I mention, and get a Thai girl to practice with (or other native speaker).

Re: Khao San - why? Khao San is fun for some of the hidden joints along it that are mostly young/hip Thai joints (Hippie de Bar, and the indie rock joint someone mentioned earlier in this thread), perhaps for a second date with a Thai girl or place to go with some friends. Meeting girls? A million better places in BKK. Not saying it's a bad place for this per se, just way inferior, and you have to deal with backpacker-ville. Plus it's out of the way, depending on where you live.

Why are your clothes getting so ruined just because of the rain? Wet of course, but how is water damaging them? They get wet when they are washed. Shoes obviously can when it's wet and dirty out.

If you're wearing shorts, chino or otherwise then you've not distinguished yourself from them enough IMO. Cool if it's working for you but for me personally shorts are never acceptable to wear out at night (if I'm venturing out into central BKK to the malls, cinema, for lunch etc in the day time I won't wear shorts, stick a pair of jeans on) and definitely not to a club even if it is some crappy backpacker club on Kowsan road full of people in sandals, swim shorts, vest tops and baseball caps on backwards or the alternative, the wannabee hippie with the fisherman pants, thai die top and dirty dreads. I'd just rather not be associated with them at all and to me shorts lumps you in the same category, though I don't think the Thai girls going there care (otherwise they wouldn't be there) and the backpacker girls are all dressed just as bad and don't care either so maybe it's irrelevant.

Date was with a girl I've met many times so was fine though I haven't felt quite right all day, a bit on edge / anxious and I'm not sure why. Was feeling a bit strange all day. We usually have great fun but it was all a bit flat tonight, probably because I wasn't on top form. I decided to call it a night early and refuse guaranteed sex. That's something I don't do often.

So many Thai clubs are like this, especially a lot of the HiSo clubs, ear bleed music so that conversation is impossible and I've shit hearing at the best of times. Coupled with trying to speak a combo of badly pronounced Thai and her English not being great it can lead to very frustrating times.

No one is claiming Kowsan is the best place but there are some good majority Thai bars in the Kowsan area (most are not on Kowsan Road) but on Thanon Rambuttri (Molly Bar, the one across from Molly Bar, Club Deep and 999 West can be OK) then you've got Brick Bar and Rooftop on Kowsan Rd it's self. Not the biggest fan of Hippie Bar, quite boring the twice I've went. Then all the thai bars on Phra A Thit Road and a few on Samsen 13 which are decent for dates if you want dinner and drinks, a few of them have jazz and blues if that's your thing and there's a cool bar (no idea on the name) playing Britpop and old UK indie music I like, quite lively Thai crowd at the weekend.

The reason I've been so many times as I stay just a few minutes walk away and when I'm arranging first dates with girls and they ask where I live and find out it's near Kowsan Rd they often say they've never been and ask if we can go. Perfect for me as I'm familiar with the area, know some good places for food, good bars, friendly with some staff in the bars AND the most important thing it's in walking distance to my place and there's a 24hr bar and restaurant next door to it with a nice vibe and decor that girls just seem to love. I take them there for the final drink of the night then it's back to my hotel guaranteed if I've gotten her that far. If I go out in RCA, Sukhumvit, Thong Lor, Ekkamai or wherever else I'm miles away from where I live, don't know the areas so well and her house might be closer to where we are than my place is. Lessens my chances.

Lots of backpackers but also lots of Thais too these days, tonight in Molly Bar and the place opposite not a single farang in the place. When I was at Kowsan Road last Saturday the whole street had almost as many Thais as farang. Plus there were tons of farang hunters in The Club as mentioned.

If you don't live near bye and are not familiar with the area I wouldn't recommend taking a girl there unless she really was keen to see it and you knew it well enough to know where to go. Girls have loved getting the kowsan tour if they've never been and if you're on a date with a Thai girl it's because she likes farangs so she'll probably like kowsan.

Anywhere can be out the way depending on where you live. It is however cut off from Sukhumvit, most public transport and so on which can be an annoyance but it's helped me more than it's hindered me when its come to laid.

Anyway I'm going on a bit now, a little drunk maybe, so I'll leave it at that.

If the music is too loud do this: tap her on the waist or shoulder to get her attention; lean in as if you're about to talk into her ear; peck her on the cheek instead. If she likes you you'll find out pretty quickly. It's a bold move without being sloppy or overly aggressive. If you're on the run, hand her your phone and she'll know to put her number in. If you want to actually talk to her, once you get a make out take her hand and bring her to the outdoor area. This is club game.

There's nothing more annoying than someone trying to have a conversation with you in an environment that makes it impossible.

Post: #184

Well this is annoying. I knew my 30 day visa would be coming to an end soon, but I did underestimate the time. It actually ends tomorrow! So I guess I will be having to do one of those visa runs tomorrow and it will take most of my day. Guess I will not be able to go out as hard tonight haha.

Too bad I did not think of this sooner as I could have just gone to a tourist office but o well that is life. Also I was scheduled to get my last suit fitting monday so I cannot even spend a few days in cambodia.

Post: #185

Going to a tourist office? I've never heard of them extending visas. If you don't want to do a visa run just go to immigration in BKK and get an extension there, you get between 10 and 15 days (can't quite remember) extension on the standard 30 day stamp on arrival which you appear to have. Costs 1,900B and will take a couple of hours, they are pretty quick even when it's busy. All very easy but you need passport photos and photocopies of all your documents, passport, visa / stamp page, departure card etc so take them with you, they overcharge you there for it. If you plan to be here for a while yet though I'd recommend not getting an extension or doing a visa run as the most you're gonna get is another 30 days (visa run). Go to Cambodia or Laos, visit the thai embassy and apply for a 60 day visa (or 90 if eligible for one). Works out better value for money.

Post: #186

Sorry about my literations, however my Thai was taught to me by native Thai people. That is the best way that I can type it. Maybe it may be because I am American and my accent is different than others. Also there are actually 3 types of Thai that I know of North, South, and Bangkok. My wife at the time could tell immediately if she was speaking to somebody from the south etc. (she was from the south, by Hat Yai). Also Thai weather is hella hot and humid. Have any of you noticed how people dress in this weather. They wear long pants, long sleeve shirts. Just watch some Thai tv shows. Wearing shorts is kind of seen as a low class thing to do especially for women. Class is very important to Thai people!! So I dont know how well shorts in a club would be perceived. coon-laaw You Are Handsome( I copy pasted this from the Internet, so I do not think I was that far off?) Have fun in Thailand !!!!

Post: #187

Just as an update, last night I had a successful date with by far the hottest girl I have met from thai friendly and only 19 too (also she is the chick that flaked on me twice). For me this one was good because to be honest I have not had much success previously with younger girls due to flakiness and many still living at home. In this girls case her mom literally called her once every 2-3 hours during the date and she had to turn off her phone when she got back to my place. I think the key to getting her to meet up was first going to a more casual social environment (a movie) to build initial comfort and then I was able to redirect it somewhere for dinner and drinking.

Overall the date went pretty well as I could tell immediately she was very into me and allowed a lot of kino - even at the start of the date. I did run into a few hitches though and to be honest I am shocked I still got the lay (it required ALOT of persistence). The first major hitch was that she actually spoke english very poorly (very beginner level). It was very difficult to communicate with each other. Thankfully we went to a movie first where we did not need to talk -just with my hands- and then dinner after at a pub that was fairly loud anyways and had a good couch setup for kino.

The second hitch was stupid on my part but basically she kept saying she wanted to see my phone so I deleted a few conversations with girls and gave it to her. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to delete the pictures of a few girls I brought back that I had taken to show my friends back in the states haha (and of course she checked my photos). So basically there were pictures of like 5 separate girls in my condo (it was apparent they had no idea they were photographed) and she looked through at least a few of them. At first I thought I was screwed because she was really mad (calling me a playboy and other words in thai) but I told her they were just friends and I think she only saw a few of the pictures (I have no idea if she believed me but a beer and 10 minutes kino later she was in a better mood).

Another interesting/ironic thing was when we were finally leaving the final venue a girl that I had hooked up with two weeks previously (and for awhile now have been ignoring her messages) was literally on the sidewalk 10-15 ft from where we exited the restaurant and walking towards us. Me and her made eye contact and she gave a disgusting stare as I quickly pulled my date to speed walk in the other direction and cross the street.

When I finally did get her back to my place she put up significant last minute resistance. Thanks to the advice of you guys though I decided to put in a significant amount of persistence to make this happen. I went two steps forward one step back for what must have been 2 hours before I was finally able to close - but it was worth it.

Post: #188

I had a good date last night too, got totally smashed on beer though. The girl was knocking it back as quick as I was and I seemed to end up in the worse state. Nothing that half a viagra couldn't sort out though.

I'm pretty sure a girl I met last week came into the bar I was in last night. I was quite far away from the door but it looked a lot like her, she probably wouldn't have saw me because of where I was sitting. If she had saw me, I wouldn't try and hide from her but instead greet her and introduce her to my current date. Guarantee it'd make her mad but also want to fuck me again.

Post: #189

Went to Khao San last night actually. Ended up making out with a pretty hot Thai girl on the dance floor of The Club. She had 2 friends with her though and spoke very little English so ended up ditching her. I met some other chick outside of some backpacker bar and took her back to my condo. She wasn't as hot as the girl from The Club but her friend wanted her to go with me, where as I felt I would have had a hard time breaking the other chick away from her friends. Was a lot of Thai girls all over Khao San. It was fun, but I felt the girls there were not up to the standards of girls at RCA. Of course, I wasn't there for too long and only went into on or two places so I would have to go back again to get a more accurate picture of the place.

Ya I agree that the girls in RCA are definitely on average, more attractive than the girls on Khao San. Also I think the girls in RCA are usually wealthier too. With that said though, I think Khao San is actually easier to pull girls from for a ons- rather than just get numbers. I have yet to pull a girl for a ONS from RCA (have went with a few girls I met in RCA to an after-hours place then a ons though). On the flip side, I have pulled three ONS's straight from kho san to my condo.

Post: #191

to be honest i thought RCA thai girls were pretty average. on khao san i'm only really looking at westerners, not thai girls so i can't compare the two. there's a big step up in quality when you hit thong lor/ekkamai.

Very true. You see some truly stunning girls here. With that said though, social circle in those clubs is so much more important and its a lot harder to pull from there unless you actually live here. If you live in bkk and have friends that go out here (preferably thai) you are set though.

Post: #193

I was in Kowsan for a little while last night too Rio. Started off at Phra A Thit Road, then Sangsem 13 then Kowsan for a beer and pad thai on the street then Rooftop bar, which my date loved. Bumped into a few people I know as well which is always good for making you look popular. Few nice Thai girls in that bar and plenty more around on Kowsan. Was it a Thai or backpacker girl you took home?

Quote:there's a big step up in quality when you hit thong lor/ekkamai.

It's also much harder to pull IME. The girls are of a high quality but if I can't get them home with me it makes no difference. I'm sure with effort and practice it can be done but difficult none the less.

Post: #194

Thai girl. I didn't see many backpacker girls worth taking home. All look like shit, especially on Khao San.

Post: #195

Last time I went to FV I felt the quality's just not what it used to be though, and Demo next door was quite empty. You guys can also check siam2nite.com for events at Demo and other clubs to pick a good night to go out on.

Regarding the noise I always bring with me a pair of ear plugs when going out - don't want to mess with my long term hearing. The orange foam ones you can buy at boots are good enough.

For the transliterations, the "official" transliteration methods don't actually give you the most accurate pronunciation. For example Wat Phrakaew, when it is actually pronounced as Wat Prakaew. Also, for the purposes of illustrating to an English speaker the correct pronunciation, a good transliteration should have superscripts to denote which of the 5 tones is used. Here's a good page if you want to learn to pronounce correctly. Using that, the "Lor" in "Thong Lor" is pronounced as law^l. (Superscripts not available in the forum?)

For good looking western girls, you guys can also try the bar of Koi the japanese restaurant on Suk soi 20. I only went there for drinks with friends once on a slow day and it was ok, but received info that on Thursdays it is on. Slim/flix has constant model nights, so you guys might want to try that. They hang out in the left trance music zone, although the Thai girls in the hip hop zone in the middle zone seem to get hit on more though.

Post: #196

When you guys go on dates with girls, are you usually splitting the bill or are you paying for her? Lately I have been paying for quite a few girls if they do not look rich because I have been going to nicer places in Thong Lor and I do not think these girls have a significant amount of money. Also, how much are you spending on these dates in total? Although I am not spending as much as I would be spending going on dates with chicks in NY I am going out a lot more here and $40 dollars a night for dates 5 days a week is quickly adding up haha.

Post: #197

I always pay, though I've had a couple girls offer. I don't take them out on the town though. I have them meet me at Coco Walk and we grab a few drinks and then I drag them back to my condo to fuck. Generally costs 400 to 800 baht. I don't take them to dinner, or take them out to clubs or shit like that. I've taken out nearly 30 girls and I don't think I've ever cracked the 1,000 baht mark. I only drop that kind of cash if it's a girl I've been fucking and feel like taking her to dinner and a movie or some shit like that.

Agreed. Most are badly dressed, no make up and look scruffy. I saw a guy I know hook up with one last night who he claims was hot, she looked rough as shit to me.

Whats the deal with this model night? I've heard mixed things, read that there aren't really even models there it's just a PR stunt. Read it on some BKK nightlife online guide.

Depends. I don't have a set rule that I will or won't pay for the bill. Some automatically contribute and I let them, others make no attempt so I just suck it up and pay. It's usually not overly expensive. One girl last week almost had a heart attack when the waiter in the bar handed her the bill. She quickly thrust it at me, it was only for 2 beers and a plate of french fries as well if they can't even afford that maybe they shouldn't be going out for dinner and drinks, what if I expected her to pay half? I knew I'd be picking up the tab all night after that. That night I spent 2500B or there abouts and I've no idea how as it was a fairly tame night. Last night the girl went halves all night and I spent hardly anything, we drank a lot too. Most of my dates have an extra 350B at the end of the night, because thats what my hotel charges as a 'joiner fee'. I try and keep most of my dates in my local area so that cuts out taxi fees and I don't take them to clubs. Just dinner and drinks.

I've taken out nearly 30 girls and I don't think I've ever cracked the 1,000 baht mark. I only drop that kind of cash if it's a girl I've been fucking and feel like taking her to dinner and a movie or some shit like that.

A date for 800B to me is pretty cheap, 400 though that is seriously low, how are you doing that? Beers at Coco Walk are 100B or more, a jug of beer around 250-300, small Sangsom plus mixers and ice would easily be a few hundred, cocktails at least 150 though probably more.

I usually go for dinner because I need to eat as well so figure may as well have some company when eating but past few dates I decided I'd just eat before hand and take them out for drinks after one girl literally ate dinner then went home. Decided to ask girls out for drinks from now on so there's no confusion that we're out for the night and we're getting drunk.

At Chilling House the large Singha is 90baht. You can get 4 of those plus ice for around 400baht. That's equal to 4 12oz beers each, which is plenty for most Thai girls. I believe their Vodka Redbulls are 120ish each, so 3-4 each is around 800 baht. 3 or 4 Vodka Redbulls is also plenty for a Thai girl.

If you throw 5 or 6 cocktails down a 90-100lb Thai girls throat in a couple of hours she will probably be pretty drunk. 3-4 drinks is the optimal number for me to have a good time, and get a girl worked up enough to come home with me.

I always meet girls around 9:30ish so they know it isn't a dinner date. I eat before I go. Not to save money, but because a dinner date is less likley to lead to sex IMO than if we just go out drinking. Also, if a girl eats while she is drinking, she probably won't get as much of a buzz, and will get tired. If I eat and drink it makes me want to sleep, which is what I DON'T want Thai girls to do after going out with me.

I could see spending over 1,000 baht at a nice place on Thong Lor, but for a 18-24 year old University girl, 3 or 4 drinks at Coco Walk does the trick.

Ya I am typically spending around 1k baht on dates so I suppose that is not too bad then. It just adds up when you have 5 dates a week and you are unemployed like myself, I suppose I can afford to drain my brokerage a bit though.

I have an interesting date coming up with a hot thai girl who said she would take me out and buy me drinks if I helped her with her english homework haha. We will see how this goes.
