My ex-girlfriend is in town. She’s a working girl, and she’s here with a customer, but he’s here on business, so she has a lot of free time. I gave her a key to my room (she used to live here) and instead of hanging around the hotel room alone all day, she comes over to clean and cook for me while I’m at work, and we have the occasional boom-boom.

Where’s the rubber? by Werewolf

Published by on November 29th, 2007 in Reader Submissions. 21 CommentsThis is a continuation of In Defense of Thai Women Part 1. If you have the time and inclination you can read both parts as one long essay. The TG’s under discussion include not just beerbar and Go-Go girls but also full time freelance working girls and the part time legion of TG’s working regular jobs or going to school around BKK who wish and hope to date/marry a farang. Beerbar and Go-Go girls represent only a small portion of the overall girl pool available to farang.
Third, Chasing the Dream is an expensive hobby and an even more expensive occupation for TG’s.
It costs significant and meaningful amounts of money for a TG to pursue/date/search for farangs and the only practical source for this money is the farangs themselves. If TG’s didn’t seek and accept money for banging and hanging with farangs, the Thailand Girl Scene could not exist.

Associating myself somewhat with the naughty nightlife business, I was always trying to figure out where and how the exploitation of girls working in the biz comes from. Honestly if you were to ask me who exploits the bargirls the most I would say their families do. Mothers being the worst of them but all of this is based on the fact that any experience I have with the scene leads me to believe that the girls themselves join the scene voluntarily.
Sherbet G-club and other tales by mbkknowsp4p
Published by on November 27th, 2007 in Reader Submissions. 34 CommentsChecked out G-club Sherbet (Ekamai) last night. Same system as other G-clubs, and most similar to Resort G-club (Ratachada Soi 13). Mostly young Thai male customers, the girls told us they get very few farang visitors and we saw a few ex-Sopranos girls who told us they moved here to party with younger Thai men.
Not as great a band or party atmosphere as Sopranos, but a good G-club all the same.

In the month of November, this website has already received well over a million hits.
More than a thousand people found their way here by typing the name of this website - also the pseudonym of your not-particularly-humble author - into a search engine. They did not find their way here by accident. The rest of you came via bookmarks, by typing the address in manually, by following links from other websites, or by searching the web for (usually) information on some aspect of Bangkok’s naughty nightlife.
My most popular article of late was entitled Just Looking. It has been read by thousands since it was published, just eight days ago, and currently sits in joint-second place on the list of most-commented articles on the front page. Even still, there have been just 66 comments (after, I believe, one deletion), penned by a mere 28 people, including myself.
So there are an awful lot of you reading this who have never said a word in reply.
Today is for you guys.
You don’t have to use your real name.
You don’t really have to use your real email address (although nobody except me will ever see it).
All the readers will ever see is the flag of the country you’re posting from, and whatever you have to say.
Can’t think of anything? How about:
- How long have you been reading?
- Do you like the site?
- Why don’t you leave comments?
- Have you ever been to Bangkok?
- Do you want to?
- What’s your favourite colour?
Just introduce yourself. Is your silence down to shyness? Are you an angry western woman who loves to hate me? Perhaps you can’t think of an amusing name. Just type the first thing that comes into your head. Nobody’s judging.
To the regulars: This is your day off. Go and read a book - it’s so much more worthwhile…
Setting the record straight & more election coverage…
Published by on November 26th, 2007 in Main. 4 CommentsI am sure I should just let go of this whole debacle but with Stickman’s latest column I was thinking it was time to comment once more on the truth. It is funny to me that all sorts of entities can blindly write about something but yet know little about what they talk about. However unfortunate that it was - we bailed on the nana location over simple economics. The landlords wanted way more than the spot is worth. Given the spot does not have a go-go license - they want way more than a simple beer bar can generate in revenue. Even if it were open 24/7. It’s just that simple.

I am starting to dig McDonald’s Thailand as of late. First the rollout of the limited, but tasty breakfast menu. FYI, the McDonald’s in the Robinson on Suk 19 now has breakfast. Now it seems at the newly remodeled venues that have the Cafe motif - there is free Wi-Fi. No password, no coupon - wide open. I used it yesterday at the McDonald’s Esplanade and I saw signs for it in Silom as well. Awesome trend. Quite a difference from Starbucks Thailand with their near equal pricing to the US for those highly profitable blended drinks and the most expensive Wi-Fi in town. The coffee at McDonald’s is not bad and given the free Wi-Fi, my guess is they will stake some froth from Starbuck’s.
Loy Krathong & small Bar Bits
Published by on November 25th, 2007 in After Hours and Main. 3 CommentsWell Loy Katoey is over and I survived. For those wanting to know what it is all about please check the wiki. Loy Krathong is one of those holidays that I tend to ignore for various reasons. One - its more of an Indian holiday than it is a Thai holiday. The Thais co-opted it because everyone knows they want every excuse for a holiday they can get. Two - I detest how the bars use holidays that are about good things and turn them into reasons to decorate a bar and use traditional costumes for almost nude shows. Just seems rather over the top from my perspective. Three - I am neither Hindu nor Buddhist which means that fundamentally I will never fully appreciate the day for what it really means.
