Poseidon. Again.
So I returned to Poseidon. On my last visit, I got there later than advised, wasn’t made particularly welcome, and wasn’t even slightly impressed. I didn’t even take a girl.
This time, I knew what to expect, and behaved accordingly. Together with a pal, we walked in as if we owned the place, strode over to the elevators, and gave the attendant a nod. Straight up to the models’ lounge. It had taken me almost half an hour to get this far last time round.
We were led to a table with a good view (which didn’t happen last time), ordered some drinks, and took in the view. Some nice-looking girls. A few oddly-familiar Issan faces glanced over from between the rows of stonier-faced pale Bangkok girls.
My pal wanted to investigate the Penthouse girls who are allegedly available here. As many as possible. It didn’t quite work out like that though.
We asked a hovering attendant for “the book”, and she scampered off to retrieve a ring binder full of magazine clippings. Rather like shopping at a Thai boutique, my pal flicked through the book asking “is she here?”, being met time and time again with a grinning “sorry sir no have”.
“What about the Penthouse girls?”
“Yes, many beautiful ladies in photos. Some Penthouse”.
“Which ones?”
“Which ones you like?”
“Which ones are the Penthouse models?”
“Yes, some Penthouse. Which one you like?”
Sigh.
It transpired that precisely one of the girls featured in the book was present in the building. She didn’t look much like her photo. I did enquire about the mystical top floor private clubs, but was met with a blank gaze. Business as usual, I suppose.
I decided to have a hearty meal as we waited for more girls to turn up - the food took an age to arrive, but was pretty good.
By this time though, my pal was raring to go. He called one of the “models” over, and was told that she would cost ฿3,900 for 90 minutes. As, apparently, would all of the other girls in attendance. So I guess we missed all the more expensive Q/S/T-class girls (see here). Or perhaps they were hiding…
My pal had been hoping to spend more money than that. So he picked two. Mixing and matching is no problem, unlike the “choose one, and let her pick the second” policy at the Eden Club.
Well, I wasn’t going to be outdone, so I chose two as well. I thought it would be amusing to pick a (very cute) Issan girl alongside one of the more refined and pale-skinned Bangkok girls. So I did. What can I say? I’m a bad boy, remember…
Unfortunately, the girls don’t particularly get involved with each other. The whole experience is a little muted, in fact. Kissing on the mouth is not permitted, and oral sex is administered with condoms. My pal confirmed that his experience was the same, so it wasn’t just me.
Still, a relaxing bath, some surprisingly good massage, and more to the point two terrific sessions with two very different but beautiful girls made for an enjoyable hour and a half.
In summary, the attention and service were excellent. Okay, so the food was a little slow, but you don’t go there for the food. The girls were very friendly, generally more attractive, and definitely several orders of magnitude more polite than their bargirl cousins. If that’s worth the extra money to you, then go for it.
But be warned that with more “civilised” women comes more civilised sex. I wouldn’t have dared to ask them for the kind of services that the Tulip girls will happily offer without even being asked.
I tipped both girls ฿1,000 each, because if you’re going to frivolously waste money then you may as well do it properly. I’d guess we paid about ฿20,000 between us, including all the food and drinks. But a more sensibly-priced experience can probably be had for about ฿5,000 (plus tips) if you go easy on the drinks, skip the food, and just take one girl.
Or there’s always the fishbowl on the 2nd floor, where prices start at ฿2,500 for two whole hours. We walked past it on the way out though, and I didn’t see anything special. I’d say Bangkok Cosy’s probably better if you want the cheap option…
