Is Thermae open?

[toxictotoro]

If open, still worth going for a "pick-me-up"?

No Cheap Charlie forum on Thaivisa? Now might be the time.

@OP, Between Soi 23 & 25, there is an abandoned public telephone booth on the footpath. A very impoverished looking lady with heavy makeup is sheltering there, calling out to pedestrians for a handout,  with a plastic cup in her hand. Looks like an out of work prostitute, you can try your chance with her.

Fascinating personality types on display here, but does anyone have an actual answer?

I dont know,but 20 years ago ,i used to spend my evenings there ,god i have some great memories ????

Yes, it is open. Very few women of course, but some. You might find someone worthy of take-out. 9pm might be earliest time to find anyone.

That's the Minister of Education.

Yeah, most of them in there are women with deep voices.

Must have wandered into the wrong place. Thermae does not allow ladyboys inside. They do hang out the entrance though.

Actually, ladyboys are not allowed inside, which is one reason some like it.

I have been avoiding all of 7-1 because the LB are out of control.  I would cheer on some more watch seller beatings, too.

I heard quite the opposite. Thermae is where the more upper class uni students and office workers go, looking for a little “side work”. They prefer Chinese and Japanese, and their asking prices are higher.

Never been there. Heard a lot about it from old timers.

 

Is it good?

Not nearly as good as before, but most of the other stuff has been ruined worse..even pre-Rona.  Used to not get going till 0230 or so.

It was good, about 20 years ago.

When did you visit that place the last time?

I am not totally up to date but in the last years it was basically only a place for Japanese customers and girls with the kind of attitude that they only want those customers.

How has it changed in 20 years?

It was a place with all kinds of farangs, some looking for girls and some just having drinks, and all kinds of Thai girls. Everybody met there after closing time of all other places.

Some real freelance girls who came there after their regular work. And professionals after they had their first customer in Nana and Cowboy. And it was in the early morning so full that it was almost impossible to walk through that place.

Forward x years (I don't remember when it started) and now (last time I checked was maybe a year ago) there are lots of girls who look for Japanese customers. Some videos are available on YouTube to get an idea. It seems most of those girls won't even talk to farangs and (try to) charge inflated prices - 6 times as much as the freelance girls from 20 years ago.

Fairly accurate, and 20 years ago it was much more reasonable to hang out and drink..just about perfect if you just jumped forward 11-15 time zones..unless you gotta work, time to party..hit the breakfast special at 5 after a few dates, and a sidewalk beer.

Not worth it in the least. Hasnt been for 15 years, if not more.

 

 

Lets face it even then it was scraping the barrel. 

 

It was very asian centric a few years back. No idea what its all about now.

 

Always enjoyed taking the chicken home more than anything else on offer.

 

Damn that chicken was good.
