THAILAND, BANGKOK & ITS BOYS
GAYSCENE BANGKOK THAILAND

BARS &
PICKUP JOINTS FOR ADULTS ONLY
IF ITS FUN AND GAMES
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THEN BANGKOK has it all. One of the few places IN
THE WORLD where there's actually A LOT OF NICE guys( depending on where you go of
course), and where they even have pick-up joints for men ( yeah that's
right). Guess you didn't realize this in 2000 or is it that the West has gone
virile???? & Bangkok is the last city of the world that has so much
to offer yet keeps itself apart from the western countries. Let's face
it Bangkok is a colourful city with loads OF FUN PLACES yet is safer than New
York or London after dark!! . Take a look at what we have for you in Amazing
Bangkok & drink the night away.
Watch out
for the kratoi's (traneees) on the corner of Nana to Soi 3 although the Police have cleaned this area up & thery have moved more by the bus station between Soi3 -5.. They
work in pairs & will lift your wallet, watch and
mobile--------bad boys at that!.
SUKHUMVIT:
NANA PLAZA TO SOI COWBOY TO PATPONG

Bangkok's
bars and Go-Go's close around 2pm but there
are places you can still enjoy. You have a choice of 3
areas: Patpong and the Silom area, but the better places are around Sukhumvit
Rd, Soi Cowboy WHERE YOU WILL FIND kRATOYS OF BOYS. In
the evening and up until about 2.00am there are several places to
frequent. In Nana Plaza the disco girlie bars stay open till 2am with no
cover charge but if you want to take a boyl out you must pay the bar
fine of 600 baht then negotiate with the boy which will set you
back a further 1-2000 baht or? Owned
by a foreigner Nana Plaza are getting pretty pushy as is the Nana
Hotel & disco & toy boys who want up to 2500 baht a time.. Patpong
had a bad reputation but it depends also on your
attitude. Remember too you are a Guest here in Thailand & the
culture differences are such that the Thais won't tolerate crap- they
tolerate a lot & have no attitude problems like the West-- so leave
all your's at home-- if you know what I mean. In Thailand if you get
involved with Thais in say altercations be warned you will come
off 2nd best. The Police will also take no nonsense so enjoy don't
make life difficult & show a little respect even though you
don't in you own country..
Everything is negotiable
with the boys but agree
first otherwise you might be relieved of more cash than you at first figured out.
Girls are
normally OK as the owners won't tolerate them fleecing the foreigners (Nana
Owners-some of whom are foreigners).
They don't like the publicity & they certainly don't want the bad
stigma that of being reported in the "Bangkok Post" -business
is business as they say so unlike Khao Sarn Rd they do well, to
discourage so called "fleecing by their ladies of the night".
the rest is up to you. ENJOY BANGKOK AS ITS THE ONLY PLACE LIKE IT IN
THE WORLD. EVERY NIGHT IS PARTY TIME. Hide your wallet and valuables
first if you intend taking a boy back and arrange money before
you go to the Hotel --the rest is up to you.
SUKHUMVIT ROAD:
Lots of Hotels, market
stalls, kratoys
& pretty lights.
PICK-UPJOINTS:
PATPONG
RD However, in the last couple of years the nightmarket (selling fake
Rolexes & Amanis,Nikies, etc) has basically taken over
the footpaths,& loads of tourists. It has become the place
where all the tourists go to have a look at the bars and to get
ripped off at the market. Its always crowded and more expensive
than other areas. The touts at most of the bars have also become
very 'aggressive' in the way they try to get you inside. The bars
on the ground floor are OK. There is not a lot of nudity in these
bars, although there are some pretty erotic shows on the second
floor.However ask how much the drinks are first as they will rip
you off. Patpong has lost its charm. Forget about bar fining
though, the boys may be very attractive, most boys ask
exorbitant prices (2,000 Baht shorttime or more ). Have small
change not 1000 baht notes when you drink in bars and watch the
waitresses who may say you never gave them the 1000 baht so maybe
if you have high notes tell the waitress or waiter so they know
what they got. Keep away from upstairs bars who will try to rip
you & watch your wallet ---- there are many katoeys (trannies)
who work in pairs who just love mobiles & wallets. The King's
Group seem the better bars to visit.
PICK-UPJOINTS:
OOps! I nearly forgot. If its
boy's your'e after then you'd better stay at the Malaysia
Hotel & check around Patpong. The
Malaysia will put you right as you only need to venture into the
Restaurant to find the boy of your choice. This sounds all to easy in
Bangkok, & indeed it is. Have fun. Although aimed more toward gay men than lesbians, there are a variety of clubs in Silom Sois 2 & 4. Bangkok is also home to a number of transsexuals, called Ladyboys. Lesbian-Friendly venues include China Journal Thonglor; Cool Bar Viphavadi Rd; Imageries Sukhumvit Soi 24 long Oey, Soi Aree; Vega Sukhumvit Soi 39; Warehouse Prachachuen.
