Guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Hi guys, I've been lurking for awhile as a guest and decided to join up and post my question and seek advice from the board. I've been traveling in and out of Bangkok for many years and even lived in Bangkok for a few years in the 1980's and I can speak Thai, but I was happily married then and never took advantages of the Sanuk opportunities. My marriage finished some months ago and I am now considering enjoying myself on my next trip to Bangkok and finding some discreet female companionship. Frankly the girls I used to see hanging around Patpong and Nana never seemed to be that attractive to me. Also to be honest, (no offense to readers of this board and I don't have any problems with SC, Patpong or Nana) I am a little leery about going to Nana Plaza, SC or Patpong because I still have a lot of contacts in Bangkok ... business, official and otherwise .... who would not think well of me if they saw me in those areas. Perhaps I'm overly concerned about this but that's my problem ... I'd just be nervous and not able to enjoy myself. Those of you who have lived in Bangkok for awhile and gotten intop the expat community know that it can be like a small town. I am thinking of hitting spots like CM2 (Novotel) and Spassos in hopes of finding an attractive girl to bring to my hotel room. But I'll even be nervous going to CM2 and Spassos worrying I might run into a contact in the Lobby of Novotel or the Erawan. From reading this board, I know that a lot of guys on this board don't like places like CM2 and Spassos because the free lancers there are expensive. Money isn't really a problem for me so I don't mind paying more if that is necessary. The big question has to do with my age. I'm 53yo. Will I stick out like a sore thumb in places like CM2 and Spassos? Given my age and hang-ups about discretion, should I just limit myself to escort agencies? I am reluctant to use escort agencies because I think they will try to flog off their ugliest girls. Also any other advice or words of wisdom would me arrpeciated. Flame away .. I have on my asbestos underwear!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kev Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Don't worry about your age, guy. Fifty-three isn't even close to old! The discretion problem you'll have to figure out for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Hi, If discretion is your biggest concern, why not try Eden or a massage parlour? You may also prefer the look of the girls in the more upscale massage parlours. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lembeh Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Mi Mr M quite honestly I would have thought you were *much* more likely to meet ex-contacts in the lobbies of good hotels (or even in disco's with potentially "non-working clientel") than in the dives of NEP/CEP and the rest. After all, hotels often have function/receptions/weddings etc that people may be attending. In contrast anyone you meet down in NEP is there for exactly the same reason you are, and as such, way less likely to blab. "Hey I saw Mr Mango on Soi Cowboy"....and exactly what were *you* doing there.... -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanchao Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 I agree I'd be way more worried being seen at a place like Spazzo's or CM2 than at Nana or Cowboy. But first let's work on your phobia of being seen in bars by people that matter to you. Get this: Â Most expats going to Nana and Cowboy DO NOT leave with a girl everytime they're there!! They go to meet friends, chat, have a beer, watch sports, flirt with girls, all utterly harmless. Chances of being seen by Thai business people or other Thais you'd care about are pretty much zero. Chances of seeing foreign business people you know are VERY HIGH, but, they all go there to unwind and have a good time. It'll be GOOD to meet someone you know there. It'll be fun. Going out with the guys is 50% of closing a business deal anyway. Then, if you do take a girl and you'd feel uncomfortable with that, then just don't walk out together but meet somewhere, very simple. Overall I meet VERY FEW men in Thailand who don't screw around at least once in a while. Of the ones that don't, (our beloved board founder/owner comes to mind , a minute minority would have a problem with others partaking and/or let it affect business or other relations. That group, (talk about finding a needle in a haystack), are not going out at Nana, Cowboy, etc. Oh and 53 is nothing. Where are you from? :-) Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear mango Recently a board memeber and myself ended up with 3 B/G's from Washington Sq dancing the night away at CM2, I'm 47 and he is a tad younger. Did I feel old. Not in the least ! If you told me 2 years ago I'd be out there cutting up the rug--forgetaboutit-- Did I have the time of my life ---Yup--- Go, man, Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_of_town_hall Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi Mango, Why don't you go to Pattaya, of Samui. Lot less likely to bump in to an old contact. Incidentally if your single and free of responsiblities whats wrong with people seeing you in such places. Don't feel guilty, those feelings of guilt are drilled in to us from a young age they do us no good it leads to furtiveness which in itself is negative. When people try to embarrass me now, for example when I 'm having dinner at a friends house and they ask if a go with go go girls in Thailand I say yes. Turn the tables, whats wrong with a grown man who is single enjoying himself, [ July 24, 2001: Message edited by: spirit_of_town_hall ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Don't worry Mr. Mango, you are nowhere close to overripe. To illustrate: I was sitting in the Texxan one morning on one of my first trips to Thailand. At the time ( mid 80s) it was still located on Patpong 1 and, like now, was open early for breakfast. The door opened and in shuffled an old geezer, a true "grandpa" who was 80 if he was a day. On his arm was a vision of Thai loveliness, about 20yo, who led him to a booth, ordered for him, and stirred cream and sugar into his coffee. Five minutes later another cutie entered, slid into the booth on his other side, cut his eggs and fed them to him.... So you have at least 30 more good years before you're reduced to a pit, my pulpy friend. [ July 24, 2001: Message edited by: jack22jack ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Mango, I have the perfect soloution. If I've understood you correctly you are worried about being spotted Sanuking in Bangkok? No problems, my prescription is a quite fishing village a couple of hours down the road named Pattaya. Maybe you've heard of it? Anonimity and fun, prayers answered Have fun!

Guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Age is no barrier to sanuking with sanukers well into their 80's notuncommon and even more so with Vitamin V around. In fact at 53 you probably have an advantage over those much younger than you as most bar girls (all things being even)would much rather be bar fined by an older guy(the older the better) as less chance of her being banged all night long.At least is what I hear from some bar girl friends I had. Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
