beenitseenitdoneit Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Is this a myth or do these guys really exist in Stickman's Weekly today. Firehouse, Oskars and Iron ferries, who's been there and what's the SP, atmosphere, and general low down of the women who frequent these establishments?

Rob8891 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Bearing in mind the questions you raise, I somehow think you fall very far short of your username, which indicates wishful thinking on your part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Not a very profound first post.....do you really exist? Or are you just a figment of your own imagination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Been a regular at Oskar since it opened, usually meet with some other old buggers, smoke cigars, swill Jack Daniels and sweat it out on the tiny deck while eyeing the totty coming and going. I can't say I have ever taken an interest in blokes in LOS whatever the generational tag is and certainly not there either. The ladies look like the sort that will btw.

tinfoilhat Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 A myth? of course not. what is ridiculous is stickman writing about people like this like they are new or different. Though i suppose an aging esl teacher may never have actually met anybody like this, i arrived at about the same time as stickman and was certainly not limited to the class room. the article is a lot of hooey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metapod Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 been to Oskars a few times. I'm not really into the whole cocktail thing. Rather go somewhere I can get spirits or a beer, not some chocolate thing with an umbrella. Originally started going there as I was hooking up with a french girl that met friends there after work. Also got a Thai friend that goes there. Guess it is a nice place if you like cocktails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HardenedSoul Posted December 16, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2012 Is or was stickman ever relevant? i kinda thought he went stale many years ago ,trying to reinvent himself as Bernard trink type , Well once you remember that his readership shares many similarities with the Thaivisa forrum demographic - namely, lots of relatively unremarkable foreign males holidaying or living in Thailand to pay for sex with women of a calibre they'd have zero chance of nailing at home, paid or otherwise - then you realise that he's being as "relevant" as he needs to be. What's the likelihood that the majority of those who read his weekly musings regularly venture outside the monger haunts of Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, Walking Street or the beer bars and stalls of Sukhumvit to quaff champagne and cocktails (with umbrellas) at Iron Fairies or Demo in Thonglor? They may have seen many more of these "new" expats bouncing down the street or strutting through Terminal 21 and Emporium and they may be slightly curious. He's just writing to appeal to his readership demographic. As for the lowdown on Oskar, Firehouse, Long Table, Muse etc., in my opinion, they're far more enjoyable than the second rate pubs and bars in the monger and tourist enclaves. More civilised, more discerning, no drunken, guffawing morons groping everything in a skirt and no Gangnam Style. It's a simple formula; better class of customer = better experience. Although there are lots more regular girls, there are still a few higher-grade freelancers who tend to dress up a bit more but, because they can be spotted a mile away, they don't do as well as they would at places like Spasso or CM2 with the male clientele those places attract. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menu is pretty good too. it is and they do a happy hour on wine which is really reasonable. for example a bottle of red which goes for 1400 at Ambar is 9 at Oskar during happy hour.

Nope (in my opinion) - can't see the logic behind this statement at all - I can't see that it applies anywhere, not just BKK. It's never a good experience when a place is full of people who don't know how to drink responsibly. In my experience, the bars/clubs in tourist or whoremonger joints tend to attract more than their fair share of the kind of foreign punters who actually set out to get smashed, behave like hooligans. Whatever the drivers behind that kind of mindset, I prefer to go to places where there are as few of them as can reasonably expected in a city like Bangkok. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the so-called new expats, the type referred to in Stick's column, there are plenty of them around. See them all the time. Went to a Young Scandinavians meet a few months ago. Tons of well to do young people living in Bangkok were there. Women, too. Very good looking, educated women with VERY good jobs.

OxfordWill Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I wouldn't include Oskars in that list. Unfortunately, because it's a nice place, but somehow has been targeted by the working girls (nothing wrong with working girls!) almost from the get go. Agree SeaVisionBurma the man is talented! Quite a career change so I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
