What's racist about referring to the equally vile hummus and donkey porn?

I'm as anti-woke as it gets but look at the last 100 years of history and it's far from clear-cut. Hamas are scum, no doubt, but to pretend the other side has no issues or role to play in the landscape of the ME is wishful thinking.

Agreed... But you only have to worry about ones who are pushing suitcases that have dismembered body parts inside!  ????

 

No - it’s the ones with empty suitcases you have to worry about. Let the detectives worry about the full suitcases.

Most bars can't pour a decent pint and the staff are not worth a tip.

 

Plenty of beggars hassling you nonstop: the Indian fake Rolex characters, the bargirls wanting ladydrinks, and a variety of other salespeople and homeless.

I guess you just don´t fit in.

Below Soi 11, tons of African men selling drugs and dildo's past 11 PM. Some huge black hookers too.

 

Coming from New York City, the opportunity to float among throngs of black drug dealers and hookers with virtually no fear for my safety is sort of a weird pleasure, but not one I need to indulge in often.

 

I went to African and Middle Eastern disco's near Bumrungrad. Super-friendly. The Grace Hotel bowling alley is always good for a laugh too. 

 

One time, on Khao San Road on New Year's Eve, an Afro-hooker, reached down the back of my elasticized pants and touched my winkle.

 

I told her, "you should be in commission sales, you have the drive and the people skills".

That little maze of ME restaurants was really decimated by Covid. My favorite babaganoush purveyor is gone. I stayed there a couple of times for an ethnographic experience.

 

Verdict: No cheaper rooms than a couple of soi's north, not too white-friendly, prob the cheapest laundry drop off in Bangkok, and the sandalwood incense was 80% off of New York prices (if you like incense).

Grim......streets are busy yet the bars, shops and restaurants are relatively empty.

 

Lot of drug dealers, beggars and hookers of every type plying their trade on the street.

 

Gangs of Indian males, lots of Chinese/Japanese/Arab couples and families......the type that walk about, don't go into bars and buy food to eat in their hotel room.

 

Gone are the days of young looking, attractive bar girls, anxious to please. Some bars, the average bar girl must be well into their 40's and 50's.....and look it.

It is a 3rd world sh*thole now. Better renamed as Shoukhumvit.

 

To add to  your list: always 5 Bangladeshis in front of you, whether 7-11* or buying fruit or just walking on the pavement, whatever.

 

Chinese wheelie luggage pushers blocking the pavements.

 

* holding up the que every time with their: "my friend told them there is a special deal available" - staff: "no, it's just large or small, that's it".

I was staying down on Soi 11 a month ago. I stayed at the super-bargain Swiss Park, ate next door at Yuna Sushi, among the most 5* sushi restaurants in BKK, but at 3* prices. Yuna, a former Japanese film actor was genial and instructive as always. A meal at the counter with him is like going to sushi college.

 

The next day, I popped over to Charcoal, the most innovative Indian place in town. Mark Weins has a good video where he orders a manhole cover-sized nan there.  In between, I went to the Sports Bar on Soi 13, one of the best pubs in town, and they'll let you order in a curry from the famous place next door.

 

My wife stocked up on vapes, I bought a 3D pic of dogs playing poker for the bathroom. There's not a soi downtown that doesn't have a similar range of pleasures.

 

Don't see any "gangs" of Indians (could you be more racist?). Do see a lot of Euro-couples. It's the equivalent of staying in Times Square in New York.

You must have taken a hotel car with darkened windows to get between places. I suppose if you did that it might seem like your description.

They saw it, just don't admit it. Think that by ignoring things it's not there. Or, think that since it's not bad for everyone (like somebody from a slum) that it's not "really bad" or unsightly.

He joined AN as recently as Oct 6. Go figure. It probably comes across as a PR piece for a reason.

 

PR that comes across as PR is very poor PR.

Further confirmation that you did not walk on the pavements (they are actually mostly Bangladeshi in the big all male groups).

Maybe someone can open a whine bar on bangkok sukhumvit as well as pattaya for all the people who just love to WHINE about any and all who don't meet their high standards.

 

  It would obviously do a booming biz with a lot of people on this forum.
