candyfloss Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 One of my work colleagues is stopping over in Bangkok for 3 days en-route to Phuket with his girlfriend. They're both Farang and 23ish. He's never been to BKK, and asked me for some ideas on what to do (aside from the usual touristy Grand Palace, Floating Market, Chao Praya River Cruise stuff). I mentioned Sunday Muay Thai Fights, Chatuchak Market, Maboonkhrong, Cheap Charlies, Hard Rock Cafe, and a few other things, but it's been 10 years since I lived there. Anyone got any thoughts on suitable hang-outs for twenty-somethings. Though he would fancy a bit of PPP, it's out of the question as his girlfriend's in tow. So the Pong, Nana, Cowboy etc. are out. I'd be grateful for any suggestions............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozpharlap Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I always caught the taxi up to Ayuttaya, if there is 2 of you, it works out about 200 baht each or less. Also, it takes you straight to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always found that when twentyish friends/family with their g/f in tow visit Bangkok they always want to do Patpong/Nana etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Gals seem to like the gay bars, honest Injun! I've taken Farang gals to Casanova ... and they loved the place. Usually ended up getting their picture taken with the "gals". One evening's visit to Khao Sarn Road would probably please the gal too. Cheap enough - if he keeps her from buying the overpriced souvenirs. Lots of fairly decent restaurants just west of KSR now, the other side of Wat Chana Songkram. The Patpong night market is a good one ... since he doesn't have to worry about an old teerak running up and grabbing hold of him. A daytime cheapy is the Chaophaya River tourist boat. Buy a ticket for all day, travel the river, and get on and off when you please. p.s. And tell the guy to come alone next time. Jeez ... bringing a cold cheese sandwich to a Thai banquet.
