  1. Had a recent quick stay in Bangkok either end of a business trip to region. First night was during Songkran. Loved the party spirit and water fights. Stayed out by the university and great to see the local area on holiday. Drenched by smiling kids. At night went with Thai friends to app arena. They move the whole club outside and rig up ‘sprinkler scaffolding’ so you spend all night drinking and dancing under constant rain. Brilliant fun. 95% locals, guess 750 there at least. Sharing whisky bottles and getting soaked through. Great jet lag cure and so much more fun than the commercial tourist scene. Next weekend checked out silom area and took probably last chance to stay at Dustit Thani - good value offers available as hotel winds down. It was post Songkran and quiet in bars. Thought new place Moonlight getting it right. Good humour in routines, right balance of sexy fun and sleazy. No ladyboys. Good range of Handsome boys who come out into audience to mix. No.8 has the cutest smile in the entire City so got to know him more....... Dream boys so dull. Too much ladyboy and laboured sketches. Relying on some ropey old boys in shows. Jupiter too much a fashion show. Attractive boys but come on, show a bit more. So chaste. Is this standard now? Also enjoyed spotting local guru Paulsf and then having a chat. Lovely man.
  2. Isn’t it more likely that the ‘show’ boys are receiving higher payments for performing and attracting the crowds in, which a higher off fee helps to fund.
  3. Not long till Christmas now. Not long till Bangkok too. Any more tips or thoughts around the holiday season? Just two days till arrivals for me. Can't wait. Who else is going/already there? What are your plans? And enjoy the countdown everyone, wherever you are in the world.
  4. Thanks for some great ideas everyone. Will try some of these and report back. Only one week to go. Can't wait Anyone else got some top tips?
  5. Not long now till I hit Bangkok again for a few days. Have done most of the big must do tourist sites and know soi twilight and the Silom massage places get talked about a lot. Would welcome thoughts on a few great things to do and see that are less known about. Both touristy and more naughty. And extending the footprint across the City. All thoughts welcome. Also very keen to do a lively Thai cookery course that's more focused on fun than becoming the next Raymond blanc or Mcdang. Thanks in advance for any advice.
  6. Just ONE month to go!! Thanks for the responses so far. The new year White Party looks superb, is it confirmed yet Numazu? Please keep updating with news, tips and anything relevant to Christmas and New Year in Bangkok and if you are around for this holiday period. Is 3 Jan an additional holiday to 1 Jan now? Jingle bells to all
  7. Indeed it can.
  8. There's no hiding. Just check out the shops. Christmas is looming! So I thought a thread on Christmas and New Year in Bangkok would be a good idea. I'll be there for the fortnight with trips out of town too. All tips and advice for this time welcome. Both general tourism stuff and the more specialist scene. What's good to know and do? What's been good and bad in the past? Is it peak high season? Anyone else around? Hoping for a lively and informative thread and may everyone be Merry.
