I'm an American guy newly single looking for fun places in Bkk to hangout

[Tropicalee]

Can anybody recommend fun places where western guys get together to hangout, party, talk about the events of the day or just have fun? I know there are tons of naughty nightlife places in Bangkok, but I'd really like to just make some new friends

[lostoday]

You came to Bangkok to find Western guys to hang out with?

I'm not going to touch that with a ........

[redandyellow]

Even though it's more or less the norm - I don't hang around with other western guys when I'm in Thailand, but all the Best

The few expats I know in Thailand are mostly Loners like myself..

Just tread carefully..

[bapoboy]

big c extra, everywhere

[raymp]

Try the Kiwi Bar in sukhumvit soi 8 and the soi opposite it has we for u bar, both are expat bars.

[SoiBiker]

You'll be better off checking out somewhere like meetup.com and finding some people who share your interests. Most of the people who hang around in bars in Bangkok are losers.

For every 20 Western guys

you meet in bars here, 19

of them have serious issues.

Money, relationships, alcohol

abuse, sex addiction; the list

is exhaustive. Ten times

worse than in farangistan; at

least there, the need to keep

your head above water stops

many guys going too far off

the rails but here, the time,

the low cost of booze and the

women prove to be too much

temptation for some.

[mikebell]

I disagree with the above post(s) saying all farangs are disturbed. When I arrived in Pattaya ten years ago, I joined a number of pool teams then the Quiz league. I've probably socialised with several hundred. I cannot think of any that I would classify as inadequate/deranged/demented.

OP go to Charlie Browns Tex-Mex on soi 11 & speak to the boss - David. He speaks fluent Thai &, in his forties, knows the places to go.

Tell him Mike sent you.

[vento]

You will bump into so many friendly people.

Negative? Cobblers? Whatever!

I tell it as I've seen it.

As for me being an "old man",

it's far more likely that

you're the one who keeps his

teeth in a jar at night.

Sure,on a superficial level,

many appear level-headed and

reasonable but just

introduce alcohol and/or

women to the mix and watch

the changes unfold.

Do you think the high

instances of farangs ending

up in scarcely-believable

situations in this country

is down to simple misfortune?

Do you think the propensity

for farangs old and young to

dive off balconies or walkways

at the airport is rooted in

anything but serious mental

instability?

Just to be clear I'm in my early forties....in a stable relationship with a Thai girl for a long while and enjoy a few beers from time to time.

On my way back to Bangkok now in fact from the islands....a trip paid by my gf.

Plenty of normal friends around Bangkok too....if you want to find losers you can find them for sure... but its certainly not a majority....to suggest such is very misleading.

Get out of the ghetto and the percentage of idiots is very small indeed here.

[MaeJoMTB]

Surely Op's age would be an important factor on where he should hang out.

If 75, different place to if 25.

Depends on the pubs you go to, I suppose.

To be fair, I can't think of any Western bloke I've met in a pub here except by appointment

My recommendation would be to stick to friends that you've known for some years from previous work in other countries, or people with whom you've shared the depression and melancholy of a humiliating defeat on the sporting field by a minor nation. And rely on introductions from mutual friends to further spread your social net, or some common hobby or interest. Whoring is not a proper hobby, by the way. Nor are gambling or drinking, but serious interest in the horses might count

Didn't ask for your resumé, pal.

I think it was pretty clear that I

was talking about Western guys

in the farang-oriented bars in

Bangkok which is what the OP

asked about.

Are you Italian?

Plenty of those reverse gears on your pushbike.

No back-pedaling here, mate.

[rgs2001uk]

The Tavern, Suk soi 4, right next to Jools.

Whats your profession?

Reason for asking, you may well be caught up in some heavy drinking.

Places on Suk soi 4 aint recommended for TEFLr types, the bar bills can be horrendous.

I think you're the one who

sounds like a "wee boy". You

sounded so proud as you told

everyone the details about

your first trip away, the cost of

which, a real, live girl met.

How sappy

Drop the bickering thanks guys and back on topic please.
