Thailand (October 27-November 11, 2003
October 27, 2003-
Arrived 4:18 PM in Bangkok today. This is an early arrival via the new flight schedule. What a perfect timing to reach LOS in the afternoon and still have the whole night to party and look for chicks. Since I was still suffering a little jet lag, I decided to only bar hop in NEP. I checked out most of the bottom floor agogo clubs and found that Rainbow 1 & 2 were still the busiest bars there. Lots of girls but also lots of punters so the competition for the cute girls was intense. As usual, I closed down the bars in Nana Plaza. I ended up taking a 21 year old small girl from Playskool. We did our act in an unusual position.

I woke up and ate breakfast, then proceeded to do a little shopping at MBK. I picked up a few of the usual items that I buy whenever I go shopping and looked at some silk bedspreads that I may buy later on. Tonight it's on to Patpong to check out for any changes. First we walked along the row of Japanese style clubs that charge you by the hour to sit at the table. My friend was getting all the action as the girls were all waving, calling, and trying to yank him into their clubs. I guess he's very popular with the girls. I didn't have them bother me, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Finally after wasting an hour playing around with the girls outside the club, we were ready to check out the talent in the Patpong agogos. This time my friend skips his favorite bar-Camelot Castle-and entered King's Castle 2. Inside he is swarmed by all the better looking girls. I guess he's a babe magnet or he looks like one of those big spenders, but I know better. After a short time he's already paying the bar fine. I decided to call it an early night and just took the chubby not so pretty one next to me because I have to get up early for my minibus to Hua Hin in the early morning. My girl is a 24 year old Issan gal with a funny name. I still ended up sleeping late.

I get up early for my 6:30 AM minibus to Hua Hin. I'm in luck as I'm the only passenger that day and I get the whole van to myself. That's the way to travel. It took 3 hours to reach Hua Hin from Bangkok. I check into the City Beach Hotel upon arriving in Hua Hin. After freshening up, I head out to explore the town. Hua Hin has a rather small tourist area in the center of town. It doesn't take too long to explore the main areas. There a bunch of stones on the beach and thus that's where the name Hua Hin comes from. I stake out all the nightlife areas that I could find. After dinner I head out to the Night Market first to pick up some souvenirs. Next it's to the bars with my first stop on Soi Selakam. I walk pass a few bars that didn't look so good and finally settle with Coconuts/Hard Kok Café. They seem to have around 10 girls which is more than I can say for most of the bars that have only 1-4 girls in them. The nightlife is rather tame compared to Bangkok, Pattaya, or Phuket. There are no gogos in Hua Hin with only beer bars to provide the entertainment. I party inside Coconuts for at least a couple of hours but didn't take the girls I was with because she's not what I'm looking for. The one I wanted is still outside of the bar trying to bring in customers walking by. I next head towards Soi Bintabaht which is the main beer bar area. I drink in U-Turn bar, but it's too busy and the girls weren't too friendly. Same thing with the Celtic Bar, so I walk down the soi and finally settle down at King Bar. I ended up staying

After breakfast, I take a walk along the beach from one end to the other. There are stones all over the beach so it's not advisable to dive into the surf. Tonight I decided to walk around to find any happening bars, but I finally settle on my favorite bar last night-Coconut/Hard Cock. This is where I stay for the next 4 hours playing free pool and partying up. I'm entertaining several girls since they know me now. I devote my attention to the girl from the previous night, but eventually I switch to a more sexier girl. By the time I'm ready to pay the bar fine, another girl comes up and says "take 2 girls tonight". I think about it for a second then say YES. Now I have 2 girls in tow and head for my hotel room. No problems with the hotel and it's up to my room for fun.

I wait in the lobby for my taxi to Pattaya until it arrives. Sure enough it's on time. It took around 5 hours to reach Pattaya from Hua Hin. I check into Flipper Lodge Hotel and it's off to run a few essential errands such as exchanging money, buying drinking water, and doing a little scouting of the new bars on Soi 8. After dinner, we all go to the Soi 2 beer bars. I met a slim gal in one of the beer bars and it seems like she let me win the connect 4 games. The girls never lose, so I figure either she's not paying attention to the game or she's new. I think it's more like the former than the latter since she speaks very good English. Next it off to the Best Friends Beer Bar Complex just before Soi Pattayaland. This where I pick up a talkative lady with excellent English skills. We end up at Soi Pattayaland 2 to look at some of the smaller agogos. Nothing really notable there but mostly to get some relief from the heat inside the air-conditioned clubs. Looks like I got another short timer again. That's 5 in a row so far.

Today I went to the Pattaya Fan Club office to pick up my gold card since they haven't sent it to me by mail yet. The boss isn't in so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get my gold card. Next it off to Silom for my long awaited 1 hour thai massage. After the massage, my next stop is Welkom Inn. It doesn't take long for a lady shark to pull up next to me and ply her trade. Soon we were in the short time room making sweet music. Later on in the evening I meet up with the guys and we go out to the Soi Pattayaland 2 agogos. In Bubbles it was tequila time. Were trying to soften up the tequila girl for my friend so that the couple will be in a good mood for the night. Next it was off to the Walking Street area. First stop is Polo Agogo. The show there is awesome and it runs continuously. It's best to get a front row seat to have an interactive experience with the dancers. You won't be disappointed. We went into another agogo then after that the Electric Blue Agogo. Not much to see in there but there will be a Nanapong party night next weekend after Loy Krathong.

Took a walk to the new pier at the end of the Walking Street. I didn't take any boat rides since I was by myself. Went shopping at Big C shopping center, then later on it's time to go drinking at night. Our first stop is Bubbles. My old tequila girl shows up and it's tequila time with rounds flowing back and forth. The drink checks are piling up in my check holder on the table. Looks like it was one of those going away parties with all the drinks I was buying for myself and all the ladies. My eyes bulged out after seeing the final billing. I bar fine my girl and then it's time to party at Polo Agogo. This time I sit in the front row for some exotic entertainment. I'm prepared with a fist full of 20 baht bills for tips to the dancers. Throughout the night I'm changing 100 baht bills for more 20 baht bills to give tips. After that, we return to Bubbles Agogo to pick up my girl but ended up staying there another 45 minutes or so and end up with another bill tab. All in all, it was my most expensive night so far on this trip.

Today is our golfing day at Pattaya Country Club. It's quite a distance out of Pattaya town taking about 30 minutes to get there. It's rated a 4 star course but I give it only 3 stars. We pay the green fees and the caddy fee which comes out to 1040 bahts plus the 600 baht fee for the golf club rental. We get female caddies and walk the course. I shot a really bad game but I can blame the heat on my poor score if anything else. The taxi charged us 600 bahts round trip. After about 5 hours we finish the course with myself breaking my previous worst scoring day. We come back and do the usual money exchanging, freshening up, and have dinner before heading out for the night. We ended up in the Soi 2 beer bar area and have a few drinks. Next it was off to the Walking Street area and walk into Super Baby Agogo. There I met my regular girl and I take her out. After drinking in another agogo, I finally head back to the hotel via the Soi 8 gauntlet walk of shame.
November 4, 2003-
We had dinner in a Chinese style restaurant. It's not a true Chinese eatery, but a blend of Thai style cooking mixed in with the Chinese style cuisine. Next it was off to Bubbles Agogo for another big night. The tequila was flowing freely as we almost finished up the bottle. Boy, those bar girls can drink! I didn't want to get into a drinking match with the girls since I know they can out drink me. I ended taking out my regular girl from in there. She promises me long time this time. We head to Polo Agogo next for some peek-a-boo action. The show is the same and it recycles every hour after they go through the whole routine. As usual we all sit in the front row to maximize the fun. My girl didn't mind me donating a wad of 20 baht bills to get a quick cheap thrill. On our way home, she wants me to buy some clothes for her from the street vendors. Oh boy, there goes some more of my hard earned money. True to her word, she did stay long time even though she had to leave at 8:00 the next morning.

Went to check the show times of the new Matrix Revolution movie. Looks like preview showing will be at 9:10 PM. I guess it'll be better to check it out tomorrow. Today is my massage day at Silom. After a refreshing massage, I'm trying to decide on whether to go to Welkom Inn or Soi Yodsak. I chose the latter and cruise down the soi to see what attracts me. I enter the Roxy Bar and quickly decide on a young, rather tall shy girl. No bj but I'm able to finish my business. I continue walking down the soi and get pulled into the Love U 2 Music Bar. I stay there for a drink talking to one of the girls. Now it's back to my hotel and get ready for my night out. For dinner we tried this prawn fishing restaurant along Beach Road near Soi 7. I settle for their all you can eat BBQ for 199 bahts. The buffet was pretty good and satisfying. Next it was to Linda's Bar in the Best Friends Beer Bar complex. I met one of the girls I took previously, but decided not to take her again tonight. Next stop was the beer bar complex near Walking Street with the boxing ring. My friend was already there and bar fined his date for the night. We headed over to Super Girls Agogo to check out the dancers for any prospects. As usual when you go there very late, the best ones are already gone but I do see a couple that was acceptable for me. I'll save this agogo for a future night. Tonight I ended up going to my hotel alone.

Went to the Big C shopping center this afternoon to see the movie Matrix Revolution. It was a little hard to follow the movie but it did have a lot of action. We had dinner at Cool Bar next to Tops. Our first stop was Soi Pattayaland 2. The girls we’re looking for are not in Bubbles or Rodeo so we ended up checking out the Kitten Club next to Penthouse Hotel. It was an average agogo but we wanted someplace that was air conditioned to beat the Pattaya heat. Next it's on to Walking Street and dropped in Honey Agogo. It's another one of those average agogos with nothing really interesting in there. A few customers are throwing those ping pong balls around so the lucky girls will get their 20 bahts per ball reward. The next stop is the intriguing Polo Agogo. As usual, I change for a roll of 20 baht bills to give to the dancers as a tip for their performances. It's getting near closing, so I depart and make a beeline to Super Girls Agogo to pick up a lady before they close. I immediately laid my eyes on my first prospect and I call her down and buy her and the waitress a drink. I quickly make the negotiations and off we go to our hotel.

The opening night of the Loy Krathong festivities start tonight. I didn't see the festival because I'd rather wait until tomorrow night for the big night as it's the official day of Loy Krathong. The night started out with dinner at Fuji Restaurant. The food is good and reasonably priced. After dinner it was off to the beer bars on Soi 3 on Second Road. We stay there awhile and I'm starting to feel the runs coming on. I don't know what caused it but I quickly take my imodium. This is the one medicine you can't go anywhere without it. Our next stop is the Walking Street area where we stop into Honey Agogo. The dancers look pretty much the same as last night. I buy my usual raffle ticket there and win a free drink and order a Heineken. You never know what you're going to win with the raffle tickets, but I've won a t-shirt, hat, and free bar fines in addition to the rather frequent free drinks coupons. After an hour we stopped in at Super Baby Agogo where I picked up my regular lady.

This is the day that I tried to finish up my shopping for t-shirts and polo style shirts. A friend of mine in our group brought us to a vendor that gave us a good deal on designer shirts. I loaded up with enough to fill up my suitcase. Looks like I'll have enough gifts for the upcoming Christmas season. I may even have a hard time packing up into my 26 inch trolley suitcase. I don't want to carry too much in my hand carry bag so everything goes into the overstuffed suitcase. It's Loy Krathong night and Beach Road as well as the bars are packed solid. It's a slow walk along the beach side of the road with it's many food booths, entertainment stages, tables full of Krathongs, and wall to wall people enjoying the many festivities of this much anticipated event. I decided to launch a Krathong into the ocean, but my candle blew out from the wind. This is my first Loy Krathong experience so I decided to relish the ambience of the special night. At the bars, it was very busy with standing room only. Many of the girls were wearing their traditional Thai dress for this special celebration. We stopped in Best Friends beer bar complex at Linda's Bar. My girl over there is all dressed up in Thai garment. She looked really nice and I took some pictures of this for my memories. Next it was off to Super Baby Agogo, but it's too busy with no place to sit so we went into Honey Agogo. This place was slow. One of the guys in our group bar fines one of the dancers to take along for bar hopping. It was off to Polo Agogo and some more close up of the dancers on stage. I have my wad of 20 baht bills to help me enjoy the entertainment provided by the fantastic performers. I split up after that so I can pursue a girl for tonight. I check into The Sea Agogo and it's very busy, but small. I stayed there for a little while then go next door to Vixens. It's pretty dead in there and they only have a few dancers. I finally ended up in Super Girls Agogo. I ask for the one I took the other night, but she's already gone. It doesn't take me long to find an alternative since there were many dancers available even though it was close to closing time. I quickly bar fine her and we go back to the hotel.

This is my last night in Pattaya. Time to party on and enjoy a big night since I don't have to get up too early tomorrow morning. The women's Volvo tennis tournament championship starts at 2:30 pm this afternoon. There's also the much anticipated exhibition match between Anna Kornikova and the local Thai sensation Tamirand (Tammy). We went over to the Dusit Resort and to our disappointment the reserved seats was sold out. All we could do was sneak in the back gate and wait in the hallway near the tennis court and hope to get a glimpse of Anna. By 4:30 pm, Anna walked by with her escort but with all the spectators pushing and shoving for viewing position to get a photograph in, I didn't even get a quick glance of the famous superstar nor a snapshot of her. Later on, we all meet in the hotel lobby to plan the final night for at least a few of us. First it was off to The Sea Agogo and it was busy even though the dancers looked on the average at the most. We wait there until Super Baby Agogo opens up. Once inside Super Baby, my regular girl comes up to me and wants me to pay the bar already. As usual, I comply and tell her I'll be back before midnight to pick her up. Our next stop was Freelancer Bar which had a special party going on with free food and lots and lots of beautiful hostesses. We all had our fill of gourmet delights, beer consumption, and of course surrounded by the lovely ladies of FLB. There was a dancing contest with dozens of girls vying to become Miss FLB. We were giving our digital cameras a thorough workout going through a few memory cards along the way. It was one of the best parties that I've experienced in Pattaya. My curfew came up quickly to pick up my girl in Super Baby so I didn't get to see who won the dancing contest. This surely was one of those special nights to remember along with yesterday's Loy Krathong festival.

Tonight's the last night in LOS or should I say it's "one night in Bangkok". After arriving in Bangkok, we went to eat at Foodland restaurant on Soi 5. This seems to be the most popular eating place in the Sukhumvit area. I picked up a few last minute souvenirs from the sidewalk vendors along Sukhumvit on my way back to the hotel. We decided to meet at 7:00 pm to eat an early dinner at the Bus Stop restaurant on Soi 4. After our dinner we made a beeline to NEP and checked out a couple of agogos. Even around 8:00 pm the bars are packed. This is the best time to pick up a girl before all the good ones get snatched up early. Our next stop is the art bars of Soi 33. We hailed a taxi and get off at Bacchus Bar. They seem to have the best girls on the Soi. After about an hour of fun, chatting, and picture taking with the girls we look at the other bars there but none was as impressing as Bacchus. So we walked over to Soi Cowboy and go inside Suzie Wong agogo. The girls in there this time seem to be only of average caliber. I spot a potential dancer on stage, but all the other guys in our group was checking her out, too, and one of our group member was quick to the draw. Our next destination was back to Nana Plaza. This is where I finally picked up my short time. I found out that the girl I met looked familiar and she told me that she remembered me from my last trip but changed bars since Hollywood is now closed. Now my trip is over and it's time to pack up and wake up early the next day for my return flight home. Soon I'll have a case of the LOS blues again.
