Going to bangkok soon - done a little research about bars, ladies, prices just a few questions if recent visitors could elaborate for me.

 

Sukhumvit streetwalkers FL LB & normal girls ...prices ....possible to get 1000 baht ????? Average seems 1500? yes 

 

ST - does ST mean 1 hr ..somewhere I thought ST meant 2 hrs and LT till morn????

 

Heard lady drinks vary from bar to bar as do normal drinks- whats a coke in a LB bar worth? How much lady drinks? 

 

Thinking of hitting CIB, WN and Cindy's - Obsessions and Cockatoo have bad reps ? 

 

Whats a decent tip for Lb to say thanks - 200 enough??? 500???? 

 

Seems more Lbs come out after 10 and even later after midnight...worth going out at these times...bars close at 2 am I think so. Best time to hunt for FL?

 

Appreciate

I am not sure about freelance gg's. Freelance lbs, yes you can get one for 1000 Baht short time - but that is not generally for the really attractive ones, or if the rent is due at the end of the month and they need the money. 1500 Baht is the average for a freelancer lb.

 

Very few lbs do LT anymore as they make much more short time. ST generally means 1-2 hours (depending on when you orgasm and also the lb in question). LT used to mean until the morning, but as mentioned very few lbs (and possibly gg's) will do LT any more.

 

Soft drinks in Obsession was about 120 Baht, in Cockatoo and Shadow (the 2 Soi Cowboy lb bars) it was 160 Baht. For the lady drinks, it depends on whether she orders an alcohol drink - if so expect 200+Baht, if a regular non-alcohol lady drink probably around 180 Baht.

 

The Obsession lbs are not as pushy for drinks as the Soi Cowboy lbs are, Likely because Obsession has more customers and the lbs there make more.

 

I would say the Obsession lbs are also on average more attractive (if you like the more curvy, busty ones), There are more "femboy" types at the Soi Cowboy bars.

 

I haven't made it to the lounge bars, but from reports and Facebook photos, it seems Check In Bar has the most attractive lbs and more numbers on staff. The Facebook page for Cindy's Secrets looks good too, although she doesn't have as many lbs on staff (likely being a smaller bar in size than Check In or Why Not). Why Not has the advantage of a Western host at times, as he is married to the owner.

 

Freelancers start showing up around 9:00 pm, but the biggest numbers will be out between 11:00 pm - 1:00 am, The bar lbs sometimes will go freelancing after the bar closes if they didn't get a customer or no lady drinks, so there might be a surge in the freelancing numbers after 2 am. (Soi Cowboy closes 1:00 am).

 

 

If you are just drinking with a bar lb and don't barfine here, a reasonable tip is 200 Baht (but if you were french kissing her and feeling her up in the bar - a bigger tip is in order if you don't bar fine her).

If you're going for freelancers, prime time is after 1 am, possibly even 2 am. I always found it best to get a buzz going at the bars prior.

I haven't been back since 2019, and I have gotten older and fatter, but if you are relatively young and good looking you can get a st for 1k to 2k, depending.

St even varies. It could be a shot, an hour, 2 hours or the whole night if it is late and she wants to sleep and you're ok with her staying.

The key is always be respectful and polite but not a pushover. Also make clear what you want. There are a lot of postops around. Be weary of 2 ladyboys tantems...sometimes the goal is for one to rob you while you're occupied with the other. Never happened to me but I have heard stories. Enjoy!

Thanks Kurt ..yeah after bars close seems to be good time BUT by then this old fart is tucked up in bed deep in the land of Nod.

Things have really picked up since my November 27, 2022 visit. Plenty more tourists about - I would estimate close to 80% of the pre-Covid 19 days. The composition of the tourists though are very different. Plenty of Russians, Asians (including Indian), and fewer "western" tourists. A lot of Africans are back in Thailand - not as tourists, but clearly looking to make money - including some African freelancing ladies.

DC10 is open again, and is a ladyboy bar - but it is in a sad state of affairs. I didn't enter, but just took a peak inside around 10:30 pm on Thursday night. No customers and around 5 lonely older looking lbs just sitting around the go go platform. I don't know how they can stay open much longer.

Obsessions is still going strong, with updated outdoor signage new neon signs. Very busy with plenty of Japanese, Chinese, Korean customers. A few more ladies about than last time, likely due to increased customer numbers.

Straps has changed name to "Star". I asked the reason why and I was told that a lot of customers online were saying it is a postop lb bar, which of course they deny. New signage and frontage has changed cosmetically.

There is a new postop ladyboy bar called Wonderland. Located in the old Temptations spot. They have around 20 postop lbs on staff, ranging from petite 155 - to around 175 cm tall staff. Some real beauties rivaling those in Star, but also some average looking lbs. I think they are operating under the same format as Star - claim the staff are all ladies.

The staff here were more lively, as I've heard the owner (a postop lb who used to work in Obsessions - has different prizes weekly for those who have the best performance - free botox procedures, etc.

I dropped into Cindy's Secret - recommend you check her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Cindyssecrets

A nice small lounge bar with around 20 lbs on staff with occasional freelancers dropping in. Drinks are reasonably priced, much better than gogo bars (60 Baht for a softdrink vs 120 Baht in NEP/Soi Cowboy). The ladies will all surround you when you drop in, possibly due to a slow night, but there is no pressure. If you choose one to buy a ladydrink everyone will disperse quietly without the drama that can happen in some gogo bars. There are a range of lbs there from petite to tall, and from very beautiful to average.

Cindy is doing fine, and with the increased tourist numbers, the customer numbers are going up. I did not check the other lb lounge bars - Checkin Bar, Why Not, Chaos 9, and Why Not have Facebook pages that feature current staff photos.
