canuckdude007 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Hi all, I've recently moved to BKK (10 weeks ago), I work in the IT industry (ie, from home). For that reason I don't really have any work buddies for post-work drinks, which make it a bit harder to get into a cool nightlife routine. That said, I'm not really into Thai girls (they are all yours!), so I wonder where is the best place to go, to meet single expats girls (i'm 26) and cool guys? Any hot spots or especial days?I suppose that friday and saturday are the best days to go out? Remember that I'll likely be going there by myself - at least until I get drunk eh, then everyone is a friend! ;-) Thanx Edited September 3, 2008 by canuckdude007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangyai Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 To meet cool people in general wait outside any cinema as the crowds poor out. The air con in those places is really viscious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder why falangs carry such a bad reputation in BKK. Someone who is new in town, from the west, is friendly asking for advices from those who are here for a long time, and apart from someone who wrote me a PM with some good tips (thanks!), all I got in this thread was jokes and disrespect Thanks Edited September 4, 2008 by canuckdude007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places for IT guys new to Bangkok, check out Thailandfriends.com perhaps there is an IT society here like a chess club or something zzzzz Failing that, Soi Cowboy mate.

kiakaha Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 isn't a dude arabic slang for a camel's penis ? cold camel's penises...hmmmm....the only places that come to mind are Demonia Soi 33 and BarBar Patpong 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro1 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Don't take offence the people here are generally just nuts I think you genuinely confused the siht out of every one by saying you want to find a white chick especially since all the farang ladies are looking for Thai men your up for a mighty challenge. I feel you will convert to the other side (relax noy gay or tranny)sooner than you think. Wouldn't have a clue where to steer you apart from the bars at 5 star hotels in BKK. Best to head off to any of the islands where young topless Swedish backpackers lay on the beaches, but probably waiting for a Thai Beach Boy Wait just remember The bed Supper Club in soi 11 has a lot of young western girls there and great place.

m155g0ld Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi there, I'm a British girl and 28 yrs old, but very happily married (to a British guy). However I have lots of friends; girls and guys alike. Your best bet is to head for normal pubs where there is a friendly, everyone-knows-everyone atmosphere and you can have a conversation. I met most of my friends in Suk Soi 4 - not Nana Plaza, a bit further down the street. There's a British Pub called Chequers and an Irish bar called Finnegans. We can usually be found in one or the other most nights and I can guarantee you'll get chatting to some 'normal' people there and find some like minded expats after a few visits. Catch ya for a beer or several tomorrow/Saturday if you decide to pop down. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m155g0ld Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree none of us are exactly 'normal'... perhaps 'like-minded' may have been a better description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree none of us are exactly 'normal'... perhaps 'like-minded' may have been a better description Also, the lady who made the reference did say she was from GB so in that sense, 'like minded' is probably is a better description than "normal".

twschw Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Pm girlx, she isn't into Thai guys and she might know of some places to hang out. She is rather particular with whom she associates but might be worth a try, never the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudbusting Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm pretty much in a similar situation to yourself. Similar age, working at IT from home. I'm not too sure what advice I can give you though. Apart from joining social clubs (which I never did) there doesn't seem to be an easy answer. Just go to places where it's possible to chat like minded people. Finnegans isn't a bad spot as mentioned above. I might be there on Sunday myself.

girlx Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 harty har... it's nice to see i am so important that people are still discussing this a week later. don't ya'll have anything better to do? as for places to meet farang chicks, i would think you might get a few PMs just from posting an inquiry here OP? khao san road is an obvious place. ladies' nights, bars in suk soi 11, RCA.... cloudbusting i didn't know you worked from home as well... i feel your pain ... hope to see you at the next meet up.

teejay Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 zorro, Swedes don't sunbathe topless... and if "say" they're swedes, they're actually Finnish. That's like Scandie 101.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m155g0ld Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Since girlx mentioned ladies night there's also Coyote on Soi Convent - Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not sure if the one on Sukhumvit does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Mate, I have a question for you. Why would you come half way around the world to meet Single Female Expats and Cool Dudes? First of all, the choice is limited. Second, the locals are superior IMO Third, repeat number above. You are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckdude007 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Ok Guys and Girls, I suppose when I posted the thread, it was late in the evening, and I only got replies from those who don't go out here, so can't add any interesting info to the topic. THANKS A LOT for all the PM's and tips that were posted later. This will definitely keep me busy and entranteined for the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Khao San Road is an obvious one, full of westerners, a lot of "gap year" students being bikes, might not be in town for long though due to travel ... erm, dont see a down side tbh Where do teachers hang out ? Arent there some farang teachers knocking about ? Probably Khao San Road again tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
