The Sky-train (BTS) is ingenious and super modern. Click onto the link and take a look at the homepage, one will also find a network plan and a price calculator.
 

The reason why it’s ingenious is because even if there are bad traffic jams one is still able to travel around and reach ones destination quickly, safely and in a fully air-conditioned atmosphere for not much money at all. For example, from the Sukhumvit Area „NANA“ Station to Patpong (“SALA DAENG” Station) in nine minutes including changing trains once for only 25 Baht. A taxi would cost 50 to 60 Baht and would take 15 to 20 minutes (that’s if there is no traffic jam). A motorbike taxi costs about 80 Baht and takes about 10 minutes. There are also tickets with larger amounts of credit for example 100 Baht meaning that one doesn’t always have to buy a new ticket and in addition to this day tickets are also available.
 

The card with the chip can be obtained from ticket machines, this being quite easy due to the procedure to do so being well described. It is also possible to get tickets from the friendly assistant at the ticket window, money can be changed there too or questions answered.
 

Apart from that, one has an impressive view from high above the streets of Bangkok, even from the two storey station (don’t worry there are escalators) one is able to get a good and interesting view of the area. Some of the views however are of demolition work, building sites or the motorways with their huge amounts of concrete; these of course leave a more uncomfortable impression of the Thai metropolis. They’re not just carrying out the odd job here, these are huge projects.
 

It is also interesting to just observe people, apart from tourists and expats (there are foreigners living there) even the more well off Thais and many school pupils and students use the train. Those with just small wages cannot afford to use the “heavenly” train built by Siemens, they use the numerous Baht-busses, they only cost 5 Baht each way. Even though they are not acclimatised, the routes are pretty much inscrutable for us and the only way of keeping them cool is to open the windows, this in fact is the only way many Thais are able to get to and from work.
 

Photos: Taken along the stretch between „NANA“ and “SALA DAENG” (Patpong). Change trains please, let’s work an appetite up. The trains and stations are clean and tidy and even though one is in the middle of Bangkok one still meets many friendly smiling people. Of course here and there the odd (not so bothersome) beggar such as the small girl who has been placed where she is because of the tourists. Never give the kids anything at all and don’t buy anything from them, they don’t profit themselves and are only exploited; the best thing to do is buy them a lemonade.
 

The “spick and span” (typical Thai) personnel standing around on the platforms make sure that everyone stands back as the trains come in and leave by the minute and that nobody videos the facility, – don’t know why – on the other hand photos are allowed. Word doesn’t seem to have got around all that much that nowadays all digital cameras also take videos.
 

By the way it is also possible to catch the sky-train to get to the Ekkamai Bus Station, from here it is possible to get to all destinations in Thailand in good, regular, punctual, comfortable, acclimatised and reasonably priced busses. For example it only costs about 100 Baht to get to Pattaya, the journey takes about two hours.

Oh yes, well worth buying in Bangkok are goods from the tailors, but there are definite differences in the quality. My favourite tailor is Gulati, Sukhumvit Soi 3. Is directly on the corner opposite the „NANA“. That’s where you can get fantastic made to measure shirts for about 600 Baht a piece (after haggling, of course he asks for more at first), a suit costs between 4000 and 6000 Baht depending on the material. All my mates, many expats, all have their clothes made there, and nowhere else.

It’s like this: All the tailors in Thailand are completely controlled by Indians, and those who do the actual work over night are always the same people (Thais), they mainly work for a number of contractors, but this one here really does good work. If there is something wrong then complain, alterations will be completed by the next day. So, were the hell else can one get a made to measure shirt for 12 Euros? In stores at home you will only get a couple of cheap T-shirts for that price and then only during a sales… have to go down there two or three times for a sitting when ordering a suit, to try it on to make sure it fits etc.

And the two beauty salons between Sukhumvit Soi 5 and 7 are also worth while visiting – this is part of the stretch I have to get through during a visit to Bangkok. At this place one only has to fork out 500 Baht for fingers, feet and hair, there are three nice girls who get to work on you, which means one is able to leave the place completely done up after about only 30 to 40 minutes, holiday time is valuable
 

The hustling street “Sanam Luang” near Lumpini Park is an address sometimes recommended, but not all that good if one speaks no Thai and has no car, in fact not even then really (such as I once discovered with my mate from Jomtien).
 

Finally I would like to mention Pantip Plaza, that’s where I like to buy music CDs (current music, mp3) for 100 Baht per CD. See the picture gallery on the previous page.

With a friend who lives in Pattaya who was in BKK with his own car, we had a trip through Bangkok. We went down Lumpini Park and Sanam Luang where the pros walk the street. To make things short, the evening was a waste of time. Something from the dairy:

I met S. we drove down to Sanam Luang and to Lumpini. S first of all lived in the Playboy hotel and found it ok. We dragged a couple of hens along from Lumpini, that was a waste of time! They wanted to take the piss. In the hotel mine said that she wanted the money first, I laughed and phoned S. He had the same problem. Quick meeting in the hotel corridor… Suddenly they both said that they would have to leave at 5 in the morning but we had booked them for LT, the reason being they had to go to school.

These two hadn’t seen a school in a long time and that was for sure. One started blabbering on about her “boyfriend”(of course I couldn’t understand a thing so S translated), which earned us the laughter from one of the hotel employees who was just passing by. So, right from the very start they hadn’t wanted LT, just the doe and after a quick screw, off and away. Even our offer of ST for half the price was turned down – anyway with payment afterwards. This resulted in them having to travel back at their own cost without receiving a single Baht from us. Obviously they seem to have some success with this trick.

We then went down to the NANA, we both had a hen sitting next to us, and funnily enough they both had the same name. Technically speaking, mine wasn’t really my taste, (she was just 18 and new to the business), we decided to swap girls. Things worked out well with these two. I gave mine 1100 for ST plus a 100 tip and even picked her up at 2 in the morning for LT and gave her another 1100 Baht. To stay with the topic, I booked her for both the last two days, altogether for the two days I paid 3000 (1 LT and the following day only ST) plus 2 times 500 BF. She’s 21, was a bit shy at first (pics as from the second day, no vids), but made me shoot my load twice during the first ST – I had actually wanted to save some – For the street walkers.

Well! Did actually land in NANA again, down with the street walkers is not recommendable for short trip tourists like myself, first of all because one should be able to speak Thai, ok, one could have a bit of luck. But why look so far when good things are right next door? She was really a sweet little thing, sometimes a bit melancholic, but nice and she had a good heart… During the evening she dragged me down to a huge Karaoke Bar in region where she came from. The pictures didn’t turn out that good, was too dark. Ordered a bite to eat, a bottle of Thai whiskey, Coca Cola and ice. Thai-like again. Was very nice and not too expensive, I was the only Farang.

Bangkok is the capital city of one of the most up-coming cities in South East Asia with money ruling the world. So who could be surprised that people with more money than time meet up here? It’s not the “14 day” type tourists who travel to Pattaya or to one of the islands, but more the “business man” type from all over the world… They only have a little bit of time so the quick type of fun is sought. No time for selecting and haggling, a few thousand Baht is no problem at all, why should it be when the same service in New York, Tokio or Berlin costs a number of times as what it costs here?
 

So, what does that result in? Of course, prices increase and the girl’s attitude to the service deteriorates. Why make such an effort for little cash when there is more money about for little work?
 

That’s where the colleagues get it wrong, they reckon if one pays more, then one will automatically receive a better performance and more exclusivity, these are the ones who consider themselves to be something better and don’t want anything to do with the mean sex tourists. As I said, wrong, the bar girls’ logic tells them that whoever is so stupid to pay the price asked can also be treated in such a manner, so, the service deteriorates instead of getting better. The only thing I can say about exclusivity is that it’s always the same girls on the game with the same background, the same origin and the same education and standard of knowledge. This is ok because I just want fun with the girls, I can get enough of profound conversation about the meaning of life and god and the world, about the emancipation of women etc. etc. at home. Nobody needs that, and here least of all.
 

It’s exactly like that – more money than time. What can one expect from such a fucked up scene? That a 20 year old cutie offers a 24 hour a day girlfriend sex service for 500 Baht? Not really, maybe in Pattaya whereby the 500 Baht was not really meant seriously (well, not any more).
 

If some tosser is stupid enough to pay 5000 Baht for a bout of short-time and whilst doing so gets the piss taken out of him, it would not be fair to hold it against the girls. It’s quite logical really that they claim that “Farang are rich and stupid” and the worse thing about it is that in general they are right. See, there we are again!
 

Some prats even believe that if they pay more (I mean too much) then they are respected by the chicks. The truth is that it’s quite the opposite. It’s like this: The prat voluntary pays many times the normal price without even haggling so I can carry on taking the piss when in the hotel. Then there is the thing with the towel, TV, mobile, prick too big and ow – ow – ow (it hurts), after about 10 minutes of lying around without really taking part it’s important that she leaves because the baby is waiting, granny is ill or it’s her brother’s birthday.
 

Of course the fee is paid as well, the whole lot, one isn’t a miser and apart from that everything is just so cheap. The whole lot would have cost a lot more back at home! So one or the other 1000 Baht tip is given with pleasure, of course because one just has to feel sorry for the girl because of her job and the other dirty sex tourists are so mean and exploit the poor thing. And apart from all that, the water buffalo was recently hit by lightning and the roof of the house is leaking because it was damaged during the last storm, etc. etc. etc.
 

The true reason for all the goodness is that the prat hasn’t got an arse in his trousers and just cannot say “NO”, what a poor bastard.
 

The next morning during breakfast he tells all his mates about what a fantastic night he had.
 

WHAT???
 

Oh yes, the famous Beer garden down Soi 7… Not really the place for me in Bangkok because personally I have never dragged a chick along with me from here… One will mainly find older women with a horrifying imagination of the price and performance, nobody needs anything like that. Maybe I have never really taken a good look around the place or have just had bad luck. Anyway, take a look for yourselves because many have a lot of good to say about this place and the scene is quite interesting for those just wanting to observe.

Of course one shouldn’t have a bad deal in Bangkok! The “DEMONIA” down the Sukhumvit Soi 33 (where the so called “Art Bars” are to be found) had more to offer earlier on. During the good times this is a place where one was able to experience quite a lot – take a look at the homepage, (link at the top). It works like this: The first drink costs 900 Baht, as from the second drink 300 Baht. For this, one is provided with quite a bit of (more or less personal) a show, SM performance, not hard but quite nice. Does make one horny though. They thrash each other’s back sides, one is also able to take part if one wants to. Wax, whip, masks and the appropriate costume.

In the meantime the bar is controlled by the police (a few time a day) quite often meaning that not all that much really happens in the bar these days. Of course one is able to pay for one of the girls and drag her along for a bit of fun, but that’s not all that cheap either.

Once (during the time when there were no controls) I waited until the bar closed for the night and took four chicks along with me for a small private party in my hotel. Up until then we had quite a bit of fun at the bar. They shoved a “mask-dildo” up their fannies, tied me to a cross, gave me a blowjob etc. All this was done in the bar, except for shoving “it” in (well not officially anyway).

Afterwards as already mentioned we went off down to my hotel (here the Omni Tower) for the party…

…was nice! Whilst waiting for them to finish their shower and put on their outfits, which some had actually brought along with them and others using those available here, I lay on the bed and supped a beer, smoked a stogie and just waited for what was coming to me. We played a few dildo, lick and blowjob games. At some time or other I shot into two of the chicks gobs. After a couple of hours I sent the troop home.
