Bangkok Trip Report: August 2024

Recommended Posts

I would have liked to have caught up and gone to a bar, but it's nearly time for me to depart for home.

I was at The One on Friday night. Fortunately there was a bigger crowd than midweek. There were guys of all shapes and sizes. The customer numbers have been down recently. I think they need to have a sign outside advertising that it's a muscle bar. I'm sure that it's not universally known that Tawan is now The One 

As for the Quarter Saladaeng, it's my first port of call when I arrive in Bangkok. I like everything about that hotel. If only it could be placed where Quarter Silom is. When I am in Bangkok I spend some of my stay in On Nut, which is a long way from Silom, but often go in to Quarter Saladaeng for the breakfast buffet. I actually did that yesterday and afterwards sat by the pool. To my delight there was a stunning looking young guy there with 2 others, swimming and sunbathing, so I loitered longer than I intended. Maybe I should try to get there tomorrow.

Anyway, enjoy your stay.

I spent some time strolling down Surawong Rd., taking in the sights and smells. There’s something uniquely electric about this place—it’s crowded, a bit grimy, and just so sensory-stimulating.

 

most beautiful, poetic and yet accurate description of that street , in my heart rivalling and beating to the dust all grand avenues of the world.

I got to my hotel, Quarter Saladaeng, way earlier than expected, but lucky me, they had a room ready for an early check-in. This place seems pretty great! It’s competitively priced, within a healthy walking distance to Silom, and they've got a free shuttle to BTS Saladaeng/MRT Silom. It’s the perfect balance—close enough to be convenient but far enough from the chaos.

I'm also fan of Quarter Saladaeng , mainly owing to their big rooms and opulent yet inexpensive breakfast.

I never wait for a shuttle but when not feeling like walking it was only 20 baht by motorsai to SalaDaeng station and from there it's easy walk  to bars and world famous Unseco acclaimed Foodland Patpong 2

My go-to hotel is Crowne plaza,

mind you , while very decent not exactly a choice for budget conscious or even those who can afford but just don't like to spend dollar on something similar and usable they can have for 35 cents.

they are both connected by elevated walkway, it's about 1 km walk with good vistas on both sides, cross  Lumpini park diagonlly from Kink's monument and you find another exit by the school, you will see crossover and this is where walk starts

Do you know what the prices are for the One nowadays? Entry fee? Drinks? Price to off a guy?

Tawan always used to be more expensive than non-muscle bars. And prices have been going up every year anyways.

I’m curious if prices for the One (guys) are still relatively much higher than other bars.

I like the idea of a Kink monument! Most encouraging...

that's another f...ck up by automated spelling corrector I did not notice. It's getting annoying. Of course it was supposed to be King. 

I'm modest and shy guy and would never capitalize kink.
