Bangkok

Bangkok is probably one of the most popular places when it comes to adult entertainment. It is cheap compared to western cities, entertainment venues are endless and nightlife is incredibly vibrant. The number of places is too great for one person to catalogue. However, there are districts that are a bit bigger. For a brand new tourist I would recommend a few of these places. Perhaps it’s a good idea to start with something smaller. You get to learn a few hints. You want to make sure that you are not broke after just a few days; this is not to scare you, but there are places that I consider a rip-off. Especially if you’re new, you’re likely to over-pay or not get the right bargain right away. For this reason I would start with a low-key district that is not very popular with tourists.

Our online lists for Bangkok are not big and there are too many girls in Bangkok, but there are a few spinners there too, with ‘western rates’; I’m sure you’ll figure something out in that regard. Check RateYourEscort’s Bangkok escorts online page for these listings.

New to Bangkok…

If you haven’t been to Bangkok before, make sure that you have the hotel name written in Thai as well as English. You want to avoid having your cab driver send you to a different hotel. This happens a lot. The story is simple: the cab driver sends you to a hotel and gets a commission for it, but that may not be your hotel at all. I already knew this drill, and I was still sent to the neighbor hotel, which was about 3 times nicer. I even tipped the cab driver well. Who knew! Nothing is scary here, just get the hotel right.

If you’re looking for escorts, bar-girls, adult entertainment, and you’re a first timer, there are a few more things you need to know. I’ll start with the positive news first. The girls are much nicer than the girls in the West. I have read stories where people got robbed in their hotel room got mugged or simply had a bad time with a girl. However, most of the time, this is not the case. If you’ve been looking for a girlfriend experience, this will be it. Let’s put it this way: I was able to get a girl for the whole day and night for $40. Not only will they be your girl, girlfriend, escort, but they will also be your best city guide, friend, attractive companion, money saver, and literally your butt saver. I went out to a great nightclub in Bangkok, had my face stuffed with cheap Thai whiski, got drunk and was brought to the hotel by my companion. I can’t say I wasn’t paranoid, nervous about expense surprises, or worried of being ditched and lost somewhere random in Bangkok. It is a good precaution to be careful and pay attention, but I got away with visiting a bunch of places with no map, nothing on me other than my hotel keys, cash, and a hotel card. My point is, no matter what you think about these people that you meet, please be respectful to them. If you can afford to tip them, because they were so great, do it. Have a nice dinner with them. They know some of the best Thai food places since they have more income than an average Thai person. So what is going to cost you, $20 for the two of you for a full course meal? Big deal! You will also have a better anyway.

Red light districts Bangkok in general

If this is the first time you’ve been in Bangkok, there are many things that you want to watch for. Common sense precautions that every traveler takes are a necessity. Although I never find Bangkok to be a very dangerous city, it is smart to not be a “target”. There are a lot of tourists and you’re not that noticeable. Just don’t look lost, confused and new. People are more likely to take advantage of you if you play the new guy. So if you find that cool, then you will just end up paying more J. Blending in and enjoying will probably be the best thing for you.

Another thing that I would recommend is to try and stay away from lady-boys / katooeys. They are usually pushy, wear lots of make up, fake and accented breasts. Some of them can look like girls so just keep an open eye for that. They usually start roaming around later at night. I have heard of incidents where they get too pushy and even violent, although luckily I never had to deal with this. If you’re already with a girl, you’re less likely to have any incidents, because they are your butt saver right?

One more last thing, please avoid dark or not properly lit places. You want to at least be able to read the name of the place. I heard about scams and you don’t want those.

Soi Cowboy red light district, Bangkok

This is a good place to start. This place is more laid back and doesn’t have a pushy atmosphere. Service and prices are cheaper than some other places. You may not be able to find top spinners here, but I would definitely recommend this place if you are new to this thing in Bangkok. You can start learning the “ways” here: negotiating, bar fines, ST, LT and finding your top bang for the buck. I don’t think this place will be a disappointment at all. It’s always a good warm-up, even for experienced tourists.

There are about 50 places here, so quite a bit of selection. Beer is about 150 Baht. Bar fines are from 500 Baht. I wouldn’t pay more than 1000 for BF, but you might find something irresistible with higher BF. I wouldn’t advise getting drunk. Have a drink or two max, see what you have to see and move on to the next great place. The more of these places you see the better.

Nana Plaza, Bangkok

This is also a good place at night, also laid back. Prices can be a little higher, but there are lots of places that you might want to check here. I wasn’t quite impressed with the selection here. Also, I noticed a lot of older men with really young girls. That sight was a bit unattractive, no offense if you’re into that. The girls in the disco were too young and yes that’s great, but being in my 30’s I wasn’t very much into it. There is a hotel nana which is a terrible place. Maybe I got a bad room, but I would just not go there again. Having a smoking room was enough, let alone shape of that place and no locker. If you want to stay around this place for cheap you could try Dynasty Inn. This place is okay. By the way, there is another Dynasty Inn in Pattaya. Dynasty in Bangkok has some kind of free transfer to Pattaya Dynasty. I have no idea if there was a catch, but I do remember that Dynasty in Pattaya is about 5 times better, and Pattaya’s nightlife strikes me as amazing. Read my new blog on Pattaya. It is worth knowing about this amazing place.

Patpong red light district

This is where the experience crowd should go. There is too much to absorb and there are stunning hot girls. It is located between Silom and Surawong. It is probably the most uncontrolled place in Southeast and possible the whole world when it comes to adult industry. It is the most visited place in Bangkok. It is an amazing place not only for those involved in this industry, but also for tourists who come to gaze on shiny neon and experience one of the most unique places in the world. It is a must see for everyone, maybe a bit overwhelming for fresh tourists. As I said earlier, try to get familiar with your surroundings and culture by visiting a couple of beer bars. Prices in Patpong are going to be significantly higher, but girls are miraculous and it’s something you’ve probably never seen before.

Phuket

Patong Beach

If you are looking for a party and night life, the biggest scene is probably around Patong Beach in Phuket. This is not a very long walking street, but it is packed with bars, nightclubs and girls everywhere. There are plenty of aussie bars if you like to watch a game. Visit Tiger and Hollywood nightclubs. They are open until very late and if you’re tired of looking around the bars, do not worry — there are plenty of girls in all nightclubs and many of them are freelancers. Some of them prefer to not be working in a bar. That could be a good thing, however, you have to be careful like with all the girls. My experience was actually a lot better with a freelancer than with one of the bar girls.

MOMBASA, Kenya (Reuters) – Bethan, 56, lives in southern England on the same street as best friend Allie, 64.

They are on their first holiday to Kenya, a country they say is “just full of big young boys who like us older girls.”

Hard figures are difficult to come by, but local people on the coast estimate that as many as one in five single women visiting from rich countries are in search of sex.

Allie and Bethan — who both declined to give their full names — said they planned to spend a whole month touring Kenya’s palm-fringed beaches. They would do well to avoid the country’s tourism officials.

“It’s not evil,” said Jake Grieves-Cook, chairman of the Kenya Tourist Board, when asked about the practice of older rich women traveling for sex with young Kenyan men.

“But it’s certainly something we frown upon.”

Also, the health risks are stark in a country with an AIDS prevalence of 6.9 percent. Although condom use can only be guessed at, Julia Davidson, an academic at Nottingham University who writes on sex tourism, said that in the course of her research she had met women who shunned condoms — finding them too “businesslike” for their exotic fantasies.

The white beaches of the Indian Ocean coast stretched before the friends as they both walked arm-in-arm with young African men, Allie resting her white haired-head on the shoulder of her companion, a six- foot-four 23-year-old from the Maasai tribe.

He wore new sunglasses he said were a gift from her.

“We both get something we want — where’s the negative?” Allie asked in a bar later, nursing a strong, golden cocktail.

She was still wearing her bikini top, having just pulled on a pair of jeans and a necklace of traditional African beads.

Bethan sipped the same local drink: a powerful mix of honey, fresh limes and vodka known locally as “Dawa,” or “medicine.”

She kept one eye on her date — a 20-year-old playing pool, a red bandana tying back dreadlocks and new-looking sports shoes on his feet.

He looked up and came to join her at the table, kissing her, then collecting more coins for the pool game.

“JUST UNWHOLESOME”

Grieves-Cook and many hotel managers say they are doing all they can to discourage the practice of older women picking up local boys, arguing it is far from the type of tourism they want to encourage in the east African nation.

“The head of a local hoteliers’ association told me they have begun taking measures — like refusing guests who want to change from a single to a double room,” Grieves-Cook said.

“It’s about trying to make those guests feel as uncomfortable as possible … But it’s a fine line. We are 100 percent against anything illegal, such as prostitution. But it’s different with something like this — it’s just unwholesome.”

These same beaches have long been notorious for attracting another type of sex tourists — those who abuse children.

As many as 15,000 girls in four coastal districts — about a third of all 12-18 year-olds girls there — are involved in casual sex for cash, a joint study by Kenya’s government and U.N. children’s charity UNICEF reported late last year.

Up to 3,000 more girls and boys are in full-time sex work, it said, some paid for the “most horrific and abnormal acts.”

“PREYING ON POVERTY?”

Emerging alongside this black market trade — and obvious in the bars and on the sand once the sun goes down — are thousands of elderly white women hoping for romantic, and legal, encounters with much younger Kenyan men.

They go dining at fine restaurants, then dancing, and back to expensive hotel rooms overlooking the coast.

“One type of sex tourist attracted the other,” said one manager at a shorefront bar on Mombasa’s Bamburi beach.

“Old white guys have always come for the younger girls and boys, preying on their poverty … But these old women followed … they never push the legal age limits, they seem happy just doing what is sneered at in their countries.”

Experts say some thrive on the social status and financial power that comes from taking much poorer, younger lovers.

“This is what is sold to tourists by tourism companies — a kind of return to a colonial past, where white women are served, serviced, and pampered by black minions,” said Nottinghan University’s Davidson.

“LIVE LIKE THE RICH”

Many of the visitors are on the lookout for men like Joseph.

Flashing a dazzling smile and built like an Olympic basketball star, the 22-year-old said he has slept with more than 100 white women, most of them 30 years his senior.

“When I go into the clubs, those are the only women I look for now,” he told Reuters. “I get to live like the rich mzungus (white people) who come here from rich countries, staying in the best hotels and just having my fun.”

At one club, a group of about 25 dancing men — most of them Joseph look-alikes — edge closer and closer to a crowd of more than a dozen white women, all in their autumn years.

“It’s not love, obviously. I didn’t come here looking for a husband,” Bethan said over a pounding beat from the speakers.

“It’s a social arrangement. I buy him a nice shirt and we go out for dinner. For as long as he stays with me he doesn’t pay for anything, and I get what I want — a good time. How is that different from a man buying a young girl dinner?”
