How has Bangkok’s nightlife changed in recent years?


Recommended Posts

Looking at a period in time from the 1960s to today I would say the nightlife was the most fun during the 1970s and early 1980s. Great music in the bars, girls not pushy, everyone friendly and up for a laugh. The original Queens Castle on Patpong 1 was amazing, and was voted the best bar in Asia by Time Magazine.

Compared to 10 or 20 years ago, a big difference is the lack of pretty young girls who like to dance in gogo bars.

And because of that, many bars have trouble attracting (many) pretty girls. And the girls get away with lots of bad behavior which would not have been accepted years ago. What should the managers do? Fire them? And having even fewer girls?

 

And because of fewer pretty willing girls, there are fewer customers. And those are more concentrated in the few "best" bars. Many bars make little or no money - but they can still launder money. The good times are over.

 

And with all the online "dating" lots of that business will never come back.

 

Good for us, the guys who lived here since decades, to remember the good old times. They won't come back.

Im still paying 2500-3000 for short time, plus the barfine if applicable, and there are plenty of hardbodies for me to spooge on. So nightlife is still good for me.

Is that the going rate now? Sounds high. About double in fact. Is that the "I am repugnant" penalty rate?

I only go to places in Bangkok. Its been the rate there since 2018 give or take a few. If you need less expensive, try Beach Road in Pattaya or Soi 4 in the Ladyboy area

Well, well, well the habitual troll Conan, also known as Yellow Fever, aka Mekmong MICK, aka who knows what else (maybe susanlea), has now decided to post a topic that's been posted hundreds of times already and also copies another topic that was just posted a few hours ago (below).
 

So this topic here is just more redundant spamming from this troll and should be locked and deleted.

Late 90s Pattaya short time 500bt,barfine was 200bt,bkk 700-1000bt,I think 2-3 years ago in Pattaya I asked a good looking white skinned beerbar lady how much for short time,3000bt was her first price.

it was fun in  the 90s,drinking,playing,no mobil phones.

Dating sites with hookers probably ok if you only want to bang.I liked the beerbar vibe in the 90s it was really fun.For 3000bt you can have short time sex in almost any european city

ST sex in most European cities is around 2000 Bht these days. Not having to sit in an Airplane for 12 hours.

 

AND: Plenty of "Thai Salons" have closed all over Europe. Why? Because Thai Ladies can make close to the same amount of money working in Thailand.

Your comment brings back memories. Currently I am rolling on the floor, crying like a baby as I know those times will never come back.


Once upon a time there was "a men's paradise". A short "window of opportunity". Never before, never after. Best of all, formerly, the Girls felt very comfortable in this "mens paradise". Until somebody came along and told the girls that it is not Ok to feel comfortable in a "men's paradise".


Convincing them that your body parts below the belt are much more worth than 500 Bht. Explaining to them, that the lower parts of an European women are valued at 2000 Bht minimum.


That's when "Adam" was thrown out of paradise for the second time.

The females on stage are getting fatter and older. And some years later more of the same.

 

There was a time, not too long ago, when fat females realized they are fat. The didn't dance on any stage and they tried to hide their ugly bodies in the flowing wide garment.

Now, with the so-called body positive narrative, the fat once also show off their bodies - even if nobody wants to see them.

Now, more than half the girls are too big. And many of them are real fat. And they are still on stage. On no! 

 

P.S.: Just in case that someone thinks about that lots of guys are also fat. Yes, they are, this is why they know they have to pay. The fat guys don't pretend they are hot.

Things have gotten more expensive, and the increase in hookup culture around here sometimes makes me uncomfortable.

How exactly does it make you uncomfortable? If you don´t like it, you are free to not be a part of it. Easy, wasn´t it?
