but should we warn others not to get drenched and walk down an alley into a crack house full of girls snorting and listen to phone calls and stand and then leave .....  should we tell them this is dangerous.

 

I mean really  !!  come on,  you can catch a nasty cold from being drenched

The story would be more believable had the OP gone to the hotel with romance on his mind...

Sure but they will catch some unsuspecting fellow, its others I am trying to protect. Had I not been itermediate and above at thai for a long time, they would have had me trapped. I knew what they were doing. Very underhanded and nasty.

Maybe others wont be as daft as to follow a stranger to go meet her boyfriend in her room..

Soi 4 Sukhumvit has mainly Katoeys trying to pick your pockets and take you back to their place. Been like that for years and now they must be desperate to make some money seeing as there are much less tourists.

Why didn’t you just wait in the lobby your whole story sounds unbelievable and you could a left within the first two or three minutes if he didn’t feel comfortable TIT

[Kerryd]

The only thing missing from the OP was a link to the Mirror or Sun as it sounded like a story straight out of one of those, except there is usually a more dramatic ending to them.

They were drunk and not paying close attention to their beers. One friend was about to leave, my friend said was going to leave in 5-10mins or so, perhaps have another drink. 

My friend took a sip from his beer and straight away tasted something strange he described as a chemical taste - he immediately spat out his beer, my friend said he thought they’d tried to ‘drug him with something’.

 

My friend is sure something had been put in his drink.

 

Sounds more like someone was getting ready to leave (after paying the bill) and dropped a cigarette butt into what he thought was an empty beer bottle. (Wait, let me guess, neither of them smokes.)

I've seen that happen so often in bars and at parties. I don't drink beer (prefer my Jack & Coke) and I've seen people look around then drop a butt into a half full glass on a table and walk away. At least you can (usually) see it in those cases, unlike when the same kind of people drop their butts into a beer bottle or can.

You [CodFace] seem to imply the Op was led directly into an immediately recognisable crack-den, but he describes being first led into a room, then another - the situation clearly ‘growing’ and escalating. The op clearly being too trusting and naive took too long to recognise the danger he was facing, when he did, he left - The Op was lucky and has learned from a mistake. 

From the OP's story:

Quote

She had a room in a very cheap hotel on a side street and on the floor below almost every room door was open and it was full of street girls doing drugs.

Yeah, nothing to raise the suspicions there. 

Keep in mind that the OP has apparently been in country for a long time and apparently is well aware of places like Nana. He isn't a "fresh of the plane" starry-eyed first timer here.

[jesimps]

I thought you were going to say "she sold me an umbrella!"

[Emdog]

Sure sounds like a creative writing essay for ESL class.

"I don't drink and dislike bars, so that wasn't an option." 1. I don't drink and have gone to bars 2. "dislike bars" is not good enough reason to go with stranger.

I don't buy any of the story

Go back as an undercover agent...wearing a wire....ha ha ha ha. Like Captain America...don't forget your shield(s)

Strangely the OP seems to have abandoned his post.....hmmm, and you wonder why, NOT

[terminatorchiangmai]

Let it be and walk away from it before you get in serious trouble.
The Mafia you think she called might just as well be a few corrupt police man.

[Mario666]

This story just does not "Ring true" on so many levels, but without repeating or going in to details covered by others, this Guy is not a "Newbie".

 

If he doesn't like bars, drinking or doing drugs then what the "Fluck" was he doing on Soi 4 Sukhumvit?

 

Maybe he was looking for sex (which is not mentioned by the OP), but my guess is he is well practiced at DIY anyway if he expects anyone to believe this SH!TE? 

[Elkski]

I would never go to a room where a BF was waiting unless I knew both of them prior.     Good thing you know Thai but most of us can read animal language.  

[SomchaiCNX]

Wow, I would start a writing career and do some more research on subjects like this.

What most people would do to get out of the rain is go into a bar or cafe. You apparently hate bars so much you thought that following a total stranger, someone who approached you in a street famous the world over for prostitutes, down an alley into a dive full of drug takers was a better thing to do, and after seeing and hearing what was going on you still hung around, by your report, for "about 15 minutes".

I'm sorry, but whatever it was you could have got yourself into was entirely your own fault. I don't think others would be so naïve, nor so willing to hang around in a threatening environment and situation, nor have such a hatred of bars that they wouldn't take shelter and grab a water or coffee there. Just because you don't drink doesn't mean you can't have something other than alcohol in a bar. It's very difficult to understand why you acted as you did. Even more difficult to believe a word of your story. Your fantasy does suggest a lot about you, though.

those new to a country.

If he understands Thai and has such a large number of posts I think we can safely assume that he isn't new to the country. I think we can assume also that he would have learned enough in the time he has been in the country to be aware that following a total stranger down an alley into a low-end hotel isn't the wisest thing to do. To then hang around there in the drug den while listening to them working out ways to make money from the situation ....... and you believe him! Really? Really?

BINGO! That's it. The phone calls were about who had an umbrella to sell him and how they could get the highest price for it out of the falang.

Welcome to the bad areas of Bangkok. There are a few, so don't go there, or go with friends and if you go to a bar don't order water, as you might have to fight your way out. This happen to me once and I was with Thai friends.

there were about twenty girls getting high in that place, how can the police not know about it. 

They probably do and take their monthly protection money.

[Caldera]

It couldn't rain hard enough for me to be desperate enough to go to a stranger's room. In Central Bangkok, that is, in the countryside it might be different.

 

Sukhumvit Soi 4, you say, aka Nana? I'd dash to the nearest 7/11 or to the BTS station if in doubt. You're not made of sugar, you won't disintegrate in the rain. Good luck next time!
