This e-book is all about one single mans adventuresin Bangkoksnightlife after hours. The gogo bars, all night discos and the many massageshops where a single guy can end up with a great oil massage and the optionalhappy ending. In some cases Ive taken artistic license to paint the picture abit clearer but the stories youll read are as they happened to me personally.Some of the stories sound almost too wild and crazy to be true yet they are. DoI spend a lot of time in the pursuit of bar fining beautiful Thai gogo dancersin their 20s? Yes I do. Its not for everyone but for divorced middle age guysthe nightlife can be heaven on earth. Make no mistake it can be addictive andeven dangerous at times but thats Bangkok After Hours.
1:First Night in Bangkok
I woke up 1:30 a.m. andcouldn't get back to sleep. I had gone to bed early the night before to rest upas I was leaving to catch a plane to Bangkokat 6:00 a.m. Damn that early morning flight! Thirty five hours, 3 airplanes, Two4 hour layovers with about 5 minutes of sleep and I was finally arriving inBangkok around midnight. I got through customs fairly quickly but then had towait 25 minutes for my suitcases. Why is it my suitcases always seem like theyare the last ones to get unloaded off the plane? Tell me why?
My first big shock camewhen I went to the Siam Bank money exchange and handed them $500 U.S. Dollarsand only got back 13,860 Baht!! WTF? This can't be right! It was. The exchangerate had dropped to 27.72 Baht to the Dollar!!! That seriously cut into my funbudget! I finally made it to the taxi stand and the taxi driver once againtried to scam me for 450 Baht to take me to my hotelon Soi 23. I said to him that you can use the meter. I had to argue aboutit with him several times. When I got to the hotel do you know what the meterread? 250 Baht! Don't let the taxi drivers rip you off at the airport guys. Bythe time I got to my hotel, checked in, unpacked some clean clothes, grabbed amuch needed shave and hot shower it was 1:55 a.m. It was too late to hit the bars at NanaPlaza. I'd have to settle with a quick run through Soi Cowboy which was just a5 minute walk from my hotel.
On the way I chattedwith the girls at several massage shops that were just closing up for the night.When I got to SoiCowboy I talked with some big breasted ladyboys outside Cockatoo andtipped them 100 Baht for their photos. Other ladyboys I talked to still hadtheir full landing gear. I asked one really beautiful ladyboy if shewould be willing to do a special show with a girl and she said that she couldand that she liked banging girls. Hmmm. Ok. I noted that for use later in theweek.
Nextup I made a quick run through both floors of Baccara. It was pretty empty asmost of the girls had been bar fined by this time. Shebas is closed so I went into Suzie Wong's and talked to someone that used to workat Shebas . She said the business just wasn't good sothey decided to close it and consolidate everything in Suzie Wong. I wassurprised as I always thought Shebas was the betterof the 2 bars. The talent on hand at this time of night was pretty average. Thecoyotes outside Sahara were hot as usual but the one I was interested inwouldn't agree to a bar fine and fun even for 5,000 Baht! I went to Shark bar next and the stage waspacked as usual with stunners some of which I know from my last trip. Along theway I handed out glow bracelets to the girls I liked best and they really lovedthose damn Mardi Gras beads guys!
Ifinally made it to Long Gun and talked to mamasan Tik .She takes care of me and remembers that I gave her a ring last year. She toldme she gave it to her mom! I told her I bring her a different ring the nextnight. To my pleasant surprise my favorite Long Gun dancer was still there!(She's a Bangkok University Student). It was 2:45 a.m. and the bar was closing.I didn't bar fine her as I wanted to continue bar hopping but told her Id beback to see her the next night. I walked to Asoke and hopped in a taxi and gotout near Nana Plaza where I tipped some more ladyboys for their photos. OneRedheaded postop ladyboy said she worked at Voodoo in Nana Plaza and gave meher email so I could send her copies of the pics. (Thats her in the attachedphoto). Another ladyboy I talked to told me she worked at one of the KingsGroup bars in Patpong!
Mysecond big surprise of the night was at the NanaHotel on Soi 4 when I discovered that Nana Liquid Disco was closed!! Whatthe hell? I walked back across Sukhumvit making my way up the sidewalk when Isaw the manager of Nana Liquid Disco having a Singha beer with 2 friends at asidewalk bar. I walked over to say hello and to say that I had just come fromNana Liquid and it was closed! What's up? I found out that apparently there wasa new police commander in charge and that he had cracked down on bar closingtimes. All the after hours bars were being forced toclose at 2:00 a.m.! Even the sidewalk bars! Oh, hell no. I showed the barmanager the pic of the ladyboy that said she worked at Voodoo and he said noway. They didn't have any red headed ladyboys. Can you imagine that? A ladyboylied to me? Lol... (Id find out later that the ladyboy did work at Voodoo. Sheapparently changed wigs when working the sidewalk on Sukhumvit!)
Idecided to see what else might be open so I said my goodnights to the barmanager and his 2 friends. Near Soi 5 there is a small massage shop that wasstill open but its staff was all ladyboys. I decided to pass on that andinstead walked up to Soi 7/1 and all the bars were closed there too. Only one lonelymassage shop with 2 girls outside was open. The girls told me they start atmidnight and work until 6 a.m. Noted. On my way back up Sukhumvit the onlyother sidewalk bar that was open was a ladyboy bar. But interesting enough onceI got to Asoke all of the sidewalk bars there were open there as usual. The Corner Bar in Soi Cowboy was open but no music or band. They did have halfa half dozen coyotes that were above the average but they didn't seem to haveany interest in going out of the bar. I might try again another time. Back tothe sidewalk bars I had one beer and then decided to get something to eat atthe Love Scene restaurant. Two other girls that had just finished working whentheir sidewalk bars closed were walking my way too so I decided to invite themto get something to eat. I thought about inviting both girls to come back to myhotel but the one wanted to go home as it was now 5:00 a.m.
