It sounds like the component number for a piece of electronics. It probably has some very meaningful message for young Thai guys, but for me it’s a strange name for a go go bar. But that’s what T DED 99 is — a go go bar. (more…)
I haven’t spent much time in the go go bars in 2009, but tonight I went to Soi Cowboy with a mate of mine who has been in Bangkok for a week or so and is about to head home. I need to be awake at 5:30 in the morning on Thursday to go to work, so we agreed that the visit would be for just a short time. In the end we visited two go go bars, and I drank one beer and one bottle of water before coming back home at ten-thirty.
The first stop was the newly re-opened Rawhide. Following the New Year’s Day fire it was closed for several weeks. I was expecting a total remodel of the bar.
There are two guys in town at the moment — one Australian and one American — who enjoy the member clubs. They asked me to take them out to one, so about a week ago I took them to Resort in Ratchada. The deal was that we would use my membership, and they paid the bill for the female company.
Well, they loved it… the Australian especially so. They asked if I would take them toSky Club near Secon Square where I am also a member. I agreed, so we went there on Tuesday night.
The girl I spent time with that night was Nat, pictured above. She doesn’t normally wear a hat when she’s working… that belonged to my American friend, but even with the hat on you can see how lovely she is. At 170 cm she’s a tall Thai girl, and she was standing on 3 inch heels, so she was the perfect height for cuddling and dancing.
This blog has no central theme… just a few ideas all squished together.
Closing out the weekend with My Goodbye Girl
My Goodbye Girl (GG) spent three days with me, leaving my room at 9:30 this morning, about 6 hours earlier than I’d anticipated. I wrote earlier about our night out on Thursday; on Friday night we went to Isaan Tawandaeng.
GG is from Isaan, and I had expected her to love Isaan Tawandaeng.
To me, he’s been the god of Thailand blog commenters.
Wittier and more well-written than nearly everyone else, with clear thinking and the ability to communicate ideas with just the right level of subtlety (or otherwise) I have, for the past year or more, fairly well worshiped the prolific commenter, Pants Elk.
Last night I had the chance to meet him in person for the first time.
I witnessed two scenes this weekend that struck me as worthy of being put on film as “Bangkok experiences”. The first would have been a few seconds in a television commercial, the second, a few minutes in a Hollywood movie. One of the scenes was in Sukhumvit, where I have returned to live after a short 9-month absence. The other scene was in the Ratchada area, which I have recently abandoned to return to the comforts of ‘my’ Sukhumvit.
