That’s perfectly understandable since the mamasan will no longer close the curtain at The Strip so you can get a BBBJ from one of their fine dancers. I suppose i could have done doggy style standing up but it always seemed more natural to drop my pants and let her do her thing.

LOL that was the Center Point Bar complex on Soi 7

What say we crawl out of the septic tank and into another cesspool. Patpong. I recently made a visit to discover The Strip, Bar Bar, XXX Lounge, and Black Pagoda were all closed. Not much happening now, just as it was making a rebound. Never went into Bar Bar but I'll really miss the great BBBJs at The Strip. Kings Castle, Kings Castle I, Kings Castle II, Bada Bing, and Pink Panther are still open. Kings Castle I has a very good lineup, nearly as good as pre-covid. Papasan will sometimes pull on the girl's g-string bottoms so the audience can see if there is a shaved beaver in the house. The girls don't seem to mind. Like being sold in the market down in N'Orleans, brown sugar how come you dance so good? Went into Took Lae Dee for dinner, chicken yakasorba and ice lemon tea. 140 baht. Meanwhile, Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are packed with tourists every night. Shrimp Tacos at Hooters Nana Pork BBQ with Paulaner Oktoberfest at the German Beer House on Soi 13 Half price chicken nachos on Sunday at Oasis on Soi Cowboy Half-price bar snacks on Fridays at Oasis Cheers

Songkran is getting out of hand. I observed revelers with a water cannon mounted atop a tanker truck driving down Sukhumvit mowing people down. LOL I stayed on the Skywalk

This place offers good deals on 10 gram packs. If you register and put something in your cart they’ll send you a coupon for 10% off after 2 days. I get really good herb for 225-270 per gram, similar quality to what the dispensaries charge 700. https://prikpot.com I bought some cheaper stuff from these guys. They had strains with names like ‘green crack’ and ‘squirrel tail’ for 59 to 79 baht per gram. The buzz isn’t as good and doesn’t taste or smell nearly as good so I end up not using it. Wouldn’t you rather smoke ‘Silky Delight’? Or ‘Critical Haze’? Or would you rather smoke ‘Squirrel Tail’? 😝 https://thaigreenlab.com i haven’t bought from these guys yet but I’m on their mailing list https://www.thaiweed.online/shop

LOL My balcony isn’t very big and the washing machine is out there.

The dispensaries are too expensive for anyone but the tourist market. Thais order online where prices are much lower. I also order online, quality herb for less than half price because I order larger quantities. Free shipping and in my mailbox the next day.

I took a walk around Soi Cowboy and counted 11 cannabis dispensaries within a block. In addition, there were another six table stands set up selling, making 17 places you could obtain some weed within a few minutes. It's much the same at Nana Plaza Here's a trivia question: Who can name this GoGo Bar? With all this high-grade cannabis, where to go to satisfy the munchies? Of course, if money is no object you can visit El Gaucho, New York Steakhouse, or Rib Room for a big, juicy steak. But these places are expensive and El Gaucho isn't on eatago any longer. Hooters has a good special, 50% off (including drinks) between 3 and 4 PM on weekdays. Much of their food is crap but some is good, like the shrimp tacos for example. Biggest problem is will still be a while until Nana gets going so I end up going home and maybe coming back later. What really hits the spot for my pre-game meal, before crawling the GoGo bars, is the Geräucherte Rindswurst (Smoked Beef Sausage), with a Paulaner Oktoberfest at the Old German Beerhouse on Soi 13. (220 + 225 = 445 baht). For an extra hundred baht you can add creamy potato salad, although I'd prefer the German-style potato salad like Mom used to make. The Old German Beer House on Soi 11 also has Geräucherte Rindswurst, but not Oktoberfest (my favorite), although they have other fine brews. Similar offerings from The Game and Buddy's don't measure up. 👎 My vote goes to the Geräucherte Rindswurst. What are some of your favorite places for a pre-game meal before hitting the bars in Bangkok? I took a walk up Soi 7/1 (AKA Soi Eden) recently and came across Annies Soapy Massage at the new location (previously Soi 2). Located at the end of the Soi on the left, where Dr BJ's Nuru Massage was previously. I wasn't in the mood for a soapy so I visited Blue Room across the street A new Friday Night Market has opened on campus at Srinakharinwirot University, a seven minute walk north from Soi Cowboy on Asoke-Montri Blvd. Lots of food and crafts, live bands, every Friday night from 4 PM to 9 PM. I stopped for a burger I come here frequently since I have to pass by on the way to Soi Cowboy or Soi 23 massage shops anyway. It's loaded with hot young college girls, some of whom I hope to see at Thermae later. I'll be giving out scholarships to Morehead State. It's time to head over there right now in fact! Cheers

I wanted to stay someplace new so I choose Sleep With Me, near Treetown. Bar Girl: "Where You Stay?" Me: "Sleep With Me" Bar Girl: "I only go short time." It's directly west of the Hilton, between Soi Buakhao and Third Road, about 100 meters from Soi Buakhao. Place is clean, guest friendly, no hassles. Walk-in rate is 1200, I paid less by booking ahead. I chose the hotel for the location and positive reviews. Room included a microwave oven that I didn't happen to use but could come in handy sometime. Small outdoor pool I didn't have a chance to try out. Too small for my liking. Nothing too interesting on the Soi, just some hair salons. The hotel was convenient for Tree Town It came alive with good vibe at night Many places with live music 🎼 Bratwurst at Mama Burger I took a moon shot with my cell Some very welcome early morning rain ☔ to clear away micro particles in the air Soi Buakhao, hazardous for pedestrians Down Soi Honey way Every Pattaya trip means dinner at Patricks in the Kiss Arcade The Nebraska Tenderloin I usually order was out of stock, so I ordered the tenderloin triple, 100 grams of each, with a glass of red. Still had room for desert and Irish Coffee I visited most of the GoGo Bars on LK Metro, which was a 12 minute walk to my hotel. Kink (upstairs), Lady Love, Champaign, Sugar Sugar, among others. The hottest girl once again was Ing, #194 at Lady Love.😍 New Bar with some impressive signage, otherwise not so IMHO I'm normally a Walking Street guy but I only made one visit this trip, and only to Palace, Pin-Up, and Baccara. The street was mostly filled with gawkers. It was meant to be a short trip but I hadn't yet made it over to Soi 6, so I extended one more day Checked into the Queen Vic Hotel as a walk-in for one night Room had a nice view but very noisy at night. I felt grateful they didn't extend opening hours until 4 AM. You can't get any sleep until bars close, but they had an android tv and I was able to chrome cast Major League Baseball from my phone. Cod and Chips at the Queen Vic Outside, the usual colorful characters I perched out at the Ruby Club There was a cutie across the street at Soho that caught my eye but she was smashed by 7 PM and they put her to bed. Flirt was closed, I guess they got raided 👮‍♂️ Needed some late night munchies, so I went to Bela Italia across from the Runway food court Seafood pizza, 330 baht 🍕 Smoked salmon for breakfast at the Queen Vic, then home to Bangkok. Go Brewers! ⚾ A short visit this time. I'd recommend Sleep With Me if you're planning to hang out at Tree Town, and Queen Vic is good for a Soi 6 vacation, but choose a room in the back. Cheers.

We’ve heard The Big Lie. Now let’s see The Great Escape.

"Across the pond" at Billabong

I was there last night too (but didn’t get a token). Most impressive was the exterior.

Tonight it’s Soi Cowboy, tomorrow night is Nana. If you see me I’ll buy you a cold one.

I typically visit GoGos 5 nights a week. Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are doing a fantastic business, busy every night. Even Patpong is making a comeback. The night market has re-opened on the southern edge of Patpong 1. More popular is the food court that occupies the northern half of the street. Unfortunately, it's right outside Kings Castle I. On Patpong 2, mamasan has raised the price to 500 in order to close the curtain, still cheaper than a bar fine, and I've managed to shoot my load in every booth with some very attractive ladies. Mamasan lines them up whenever I come in, whether I'm ready for a BJ or not. A new music bar has opened next to Le Bouchon. It was acoustic night with 200 cover, included a drink. Over on Soi 7, the Beer Garden has been very quiet for a long time, nowhere near it's hey day 15-20 years ago. The adjacent bar area has an official name: 7 Center Point She beat me two games but I hadn't played in 15 years. On Soi 11, there's a cool new bar called Orange, across from the Ambassador Hotel, tastefully decorated with wooden pallets and industrial drums. I really like the retractable roof. I can see where I used to live at the Trendy Condo (top right) Although we've lost Carl's Jr. and International House of Pancakes, we've gained a Red Lobster, in the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Huge place, took a while to find the restaurant I ordered one of their signature dishes, which was quite pricey. I was the only customer, but there were no events and not many people were about. There were some unusual times covered in this thread. I spent much of the covid lock down on Koh Chang, which was paradise without international tourists, but I came to Bangkok for vaccinations and spent time in luxury hotels since many places were closed. What I remember most was how clean the air was, particularly now that it's been so bad the past few months, and I'll never again see hotel rates I paid. I recently read Bangkok hotel rates are now at an all-time high. For comparison: currently what I paid Hyatt Regency 9000 3800 Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit 8400 2000 JW Marriott 8000 2350 Banyan Tree 7500 3500 (inc 1000/day F&B credit) Sofitel 7000 1700 Lebua 5800 4000 Royal Orchid Sheraton 5600 1850 Landmark 4000 2150 Rembrandt Suites 2350 930 Majestic Suites 1100 590 Fortunately, I rent a condo now and don't have to pay these rates. I'll do a Nana/Cowboy update later. Cheers.

I had the opportunity to join the Darkside Crawl, organized by Hammer, which was excellent. Really enjoyed the attention from the ladies and the camaraderie with board members. Otherwise, again stayed at LK President. Think I'll choose a guesthouse next time so I won't have to cross Third Road. Facing south this time, from the 16th floor. Easy access to Soi Pothole Which becomes Soi Puddle after a rain Went to Hopf Brew house but they were so busy I gave up waiting to be served. Many places are having problems hiring enough staff. So, went over to Robin Hood for an Aussie Tenderloin. The waitress was excellent, very well trained. Steak was good but wasn't impressed with the wine. \ Still prefer Patricks for a tenderloin. I rarely order steak in Bangkok, not the case when I come to Pattaya. Hooters also had 50% off between 3 PM and 4 PM, so I took advantage with fish tacos and blue whisky for 410 baht Enjoyed a walk down Beach Road in the unseasonably cool weather. Found this colorful place on Soi Yamano Then, over to Soi 6. Short time 1000, and great service. What a bargain! The Soi 7-Soi 8 area has been quiet for years. The exception is Sailor Bar, which amazingly does very good business. Visited most of the GoGos on Soi LK Metro. Hottest girl was #194 at Lady Love, same as last time. New Years celebrations A spill-over crowd at Billibongs When did they stop giving free popcorn at Sugar Sugar? On Walking Street, visited Baccara, Pinup, Palace, Xs, Sensations, and some others I don't remember. Lots of Russians Good to see Iron Club reopened, but didn't have the opportunity to stop in They were out of crab at Nong Nual, so I settled for rock lobster Cheers ?

Field of Dreams ⚾

I’m staying at LK President for about 1300. Alternately, Hard Rock Hotel is around 3000 and Wave is about 5000. I review all three in this thread. I also liked Residence Garden, stayed there several times.

In honor of Burrito Tuesday, let's list some places still around for tacos ? and burritos ? Slanted Taco on Sukhumvit Soi 23, just down from Soi Cowboy, with a mango margarita Alternately, you can dine outside in the beer garden with a Verdett Sunrise Taco La Monita Taqueria, I like their NZ ribeye steak burrito Salmon tacos at the Spotted Pig, near Lumpini Park Shrimp tacos and fish tacos at Hooters Nana, half price between 3 PM and 4 PM Half price nachos at the Oasis on Soi Cowboy on Fridays only 115 baht Taco Bell! Chiang Mai Fish Tacos in Pai El Barrio on Koh Chang Sorry, can't think of a place worth mentioning in Pattaya

RIP The Mexican. Free pool, Annies right next door, but they don't serve women. I remember Coyote on Soi 11 and wasn't impressed. It didn't last long at that location.

those look good, and there are good Mexican restaurants in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, even Koh Chang, not so much Pattaya.

I’ve never seen a burrito served with French fries. ?
