Roaming around BKK nightlife...alone.

[bibblies]

The girls will all point and laugh at you and say "Haha! Look at that sad loner. He must be only here to pick up a prostitute."

If you go out to non-in-your-face-P4P-wise joints (like the Huntsman pub in the basement of the Landmark, and other such "sanitised" boozers) then, yes, you will be left alone and feel like a bit of a loser. That's how I always feel, anyway, when I've got some work thing the next morning and am desperately attempting a quiet well-behaved two-pints-and-in-bed-by-midnight night out.

 

Of course, I always give up after about half an hour and I'm in a taxi to NEP like a pig after truffles and the next day's early appointment is already missed...

 

You take a taxi from Huntsman Pub, Landmark, to Nana? That's special lazy.

If you are a farang (and not a typical 50+ year old sex tourist)

 

btw, the "typical 50+ year old sex tourist" thing is a myth...there are PLENTY of young (early 20s) good-looking bitches coming here for pussy, so many that some BGs who can get away with it go exclusively with them, and not with the old fat bald fucks...who can blame 'em? if you gotta get fucked for money, might as well get fucked by someone who really gets you wet...

You know the names of the spots ..just go and enjoy....

Davy, when will you be there? I will be in BKK Nov 10. If you are around, we can meet up in NEP and grab a drink.

 

Trust me, going solo is big deal. I went with a buddy last year and at night we did our seperate things. NEP is a crazy scene.

I wander bangkok almost always alone and there are two things I have learned.

 

A.) Try not to plan ahead when it comes to tomorrow evenings entertainment as spontaneity is Bangkok's strong suit.

 

B.) There is no such thing as being alone in Bangkok; however, one can get lonely....and this is where guys fall for bargirls.

 

When you monger alone you never inherit the prices or reputation of the people you are with and it is really hard to 'appear' like a loser in Bangkok as you can look around and usually find a hardcase that is too drunk, can't dress, and doesn't take care of their appearance.

 

have fun.

Thx for the offer

Im going soon but i will depart out of LOS on 5th

 

I am a very frequent traveler every 2 to 3 months , so.. just tell me when you go again after this one

 

My OP was not really to get strength out of the reactions because i feel lonely in LOS, but just to get an idea how bystanders who are in groups think of "people who are alone" , and the (negative) effects of being alone.

 

Naturally, its nice to socialise, its nice to get in touch with people for a nonsense-conversation, but in LOS it might be different as most(at least some) chaps who travel alone are only up for 1 thing.

 

I would guess this would be known amoungst "decent" people and therefore it would be a bit hard to have them come to you.

 

Going to NEP,...going in alone in SUCH places, for me, is a tiny boundry.

I almost always travel alone everywhere in the world. I find if I am friendly and happy then it is easy to meet all kinds of people. That is part of the fun of traveling to meet new people. In Thailand you can truly meet people from every part of the globe. If I am in a "normal" bar alone I just sit at the bar where you can talk to the bartender and the other people at the bar. You are only a loser if you think and act like you are a loser. If you are a man of the world then people will gravitate to you.

[samak]

actually sometimes to go with a buddy, who visit LOS just once a year or less can be a pain in the ass!

i want to have fun, drink and talk and sort out things first before booking one for the rest of the night and he might just look for a quick shag. so going alone might suit you better!

You're English, right? That's an attitude prevalent in England. "You're going on holiday alone?" Wankers. Travelling alone is better. You're more approachable (think of approaching a girl who's alone as opposed to one in a group). In England and other parts of the West, people may not talk to you but here they do. Eat alone, drink alone, go into a shop alone - wherever you are alone, you'll find that people will get talking. It's not like the West. :thumbup:

 

In fact, I'd argue that travelling with friends gets you into a rut. You don't get the same 'total' experience because you're busy talking to them, not the locals. And you're thinking about their needs half the time. You're constrained. You're not really on holiday.
