On The Ground BKK 11/5/2024 – 17/5/2024
Through the week I travelled to different parts including Pratunam Indra Centre & Platinum Mall & continues to look quiet compared to how I remember. One good indication of how busy things are is the Essan Kitchen Restaurant which I pass daily at different times, its never full. That said still lots of people about everywhere & tourists have more options. Emsphere is quite impressive, which begs the question how Thais can be so good at building that yet suck at something as simple as creating acceptable standard of footpaths.

Comment: It was party night & girls were frisky. Yes I can see your lady snatch, need to grind it against the chrome pole, have not got perfect vision but at 1 metre I get the message. Batfink has wings of steel but these girls are very handy swinging a sledgehammer, repairs needed.
Another reason I like this bar is that the girls constantly move along so you do get to see the entire crew on stage at close range, not just the few nearby. Change of podium crew timing is good, not too long, not too short. Downside to this bar are seats that are quite uncomfortable if staying more than ½ hour.
Geisha 12:30am – 1:30am
Girls 50-100 (hard to say) Mostly A’s & B’s & few C’s
Customers: 60+
Music C & way too loud to talk, ordered a Heineken & got San Miguel too loud.
Comment: bath time in full swing but sat other end, some quite attractive girls & they know how to grind themselves into customer’s favour.
Wed 15/5/2024

Girls too many to count, B’s & C’s – the only A grade girl was in Johnny Walker video advertisement.
Customers: 100-200?
Music C
Comment: for a massive size bar the layout is sub optimal, seats below mezzanine are not ideal. Many seats too far from girls on carousel.
Angel Witch 10:00pm – 10:30pm
Girls: 25 A’s (1 or 2), B’s & C’s
Customers: 25
Music A (DJ put on music performed by people who can play instruments, write music & lyrics, ie not Swift/Beiber) AC/DC, Nirvana, etc.
Comment: small bar, enthusiastic manager, cheap beer tonight 75Baht, crazy DJ. Put on show (which I always find boring). Downside is that music system does do it justice.
Red Dragon 10:30pm- 11:30pm
Girls 50+ A’s B’s & maybe a C.
Customers: 20
Music B-
Comment: Evian water continued to be offered. Stunning service girl/outside greeter (what do they call them?)
Thurs 16/5/2024
The young dude that Stickman has noted as vagrant was outside Exchange Tower & only saw for 10 seconds but in that time he struggled with his t-shirt had laid out his meagre belongings on footpath & finally given the Sukhumvit Rd traffic a good view of his bare butt. Not long for this world I suspect.
Indra Square Pratunam is good for suitcases/bags and where English is a first language.
Crazy House 9:30pm – 10:30pm
Girls 70+, A’s B’s & quite a few C’s, majority nude
Customers: 70+ 95% Asian
Music C
Comment: show comes on at 10pm, with balloon busting, ribbon decorating & egg drop going for ½ hour. I avoid shows if possible. Don’t know why these events can’t be included into Olympics. Darts would be a hoot on the shooting range, ribbon event include in Rhythmic Gymanstics & perhaps egg drop could make into track & field, guess gender equality stops it going further. Japanese chick was deeply impressed by skills set & somewhat shocked – that to me was the highlight.
Baccara 10:30pm – 11:30pm
Girls: 50+ ground floor A’s B’s & C’s – mostly B’s & C’s

Music A (gets upgrade for playing Zombie by Cranberries)
Comment: Has probably most comfortable seating in Bangkok.
Rainbow (Soi Cowboy) 11:30pm – 12:00am

Customers: 20-30

Comment: Girls engaging & hammering at Batfinks wings of steel, repairs needed. Few hotties barfined by both Asian/Falang dudes.
Overall Comment – Nana Plaza Friday 17/5/2024
The balcony walk ways had a lot of foot traffic but most are I suspect just there to be lookie loos and not go into and pay for drinks in bars. Particularly worth mentioning are the zero dollar tours crowd & wobble head tourists.
