I woke up in the late morning and decided to go visit the internet café. I wanted to get some more agency numbers and the Tudo e Facil internet café has pretty good connections. You get a userid the first time you go and then for just a few reals you can surf. After that you just go to any open terminal when you come in.

I had a girl named Bianca coming over in the morning from TopScort (R$250 cab included). She arrived right on time and again the front desk called up and asked if the girl should come up. They were always very smooth in every dealing. Bianca was another tight little package, about 5’3”. Her skin was very dark, she had b size breasts, and she had the poise of a model (which she apparently does some professional work). Again the language skills were minimal, but when she started the bbbj it didn’t really matter. We had a rousing good session. Even though she advertised complete service, I was having such a good time I didn’t remember until later. She offered a second round, but I was satisfied and let her go. Man, these Rio girls are friendly and easy to get along with.

After that, I decided to go to Meia Pataca again to see what is happening and make my plans for the day. While I was there, I noticed the sign advertising Roger Waters/Pink Floyd tour called “In the flesh.” I thought that was a perfect theme for my trip. I went back to the hotel and talked to the desk clerk about tickets. They said I had to go to the Rio Sul mall. I decided that I would order up another girl. I called Malagueta Rio and ordered up Cris Paiva for 4PM, mostly because she supposedly spoke “English fluently” and thought that she might go to the concert with me. If not, I figured I could get a girl from Meia Pataca in seconds.

So I took a cab over to Rio Sul mall. On the way there, we drove down Rio Atlantico toward Botafogo. I spotted Mabs and Franks down toward the Lido end of the beach. Making a mental note of the locations for later, I went into the mall. It was full of people shopping. The malls here have low ceilings and feel closed in. Also they are not easy to find stairs from one level to another. I finally got directions from a pretty girl who was selling hard rock t-shirts at a little kiosk in the center of the mall. The store was a surf shop on the 5th floor. The line was wrapped all the way down the hall. Apparently the radio stations had announced half-price tickets for students that morning, so the place was packed. It took about an hour and a half in line to buy two tickets at R$70 each.

I raced back to the room and got a quick shower. I tried to hit the cambio, but they were already closed. The front desk clerk changed a $50 for me, but it was out of his own personal funds, not the hotel. They do not provide any kind of cambio services at the Rio Roiss. Whew! Cris was about thirty minutes late, so I actually had some minutes to spare. When she showed up in the room, I was really pleased. She was a pretty blonde (dark) in her early twenties. She had b/c tits and a flat tummy. However, no english skills at all! I showed her the Pink Floyd tickets and motioned that we would go to the concert together. When she realized that I was offering her a concert ticket she got extremely excited and ran up and kissed me. What followed was a fantastic session. I don’t know if it was the concert or just her usual practice, but the session was a total blast. She gave me a bbbj that was the most energetic in a long time. Then, I started by giving her a massage with some scented oil that I had brought with me. Then she returned the favor. After that we had sex in just about every position we could think of. My knees were shaking by the time we were done. We took a shower together. These girls must be really used to cold water because they don’t like it even warm. I suffered through it, but felt refreshed. After that we were going to get something to eat then go to the concert. As we walked out, she had her concert ticket and I had mine. I guess there was a miscommunication because she then kissed me goodbye and walked away.

I was left stunned. Now I had to go to the concert alone. I couldn’t go get the ticket back from her on the busy street and it was too late to get another and hook up with another date. Oh well, I guess it got me a trophy session, so I just considered it her tip.

I walked down Rio Atlantico a ways and finally stopped at a café to have some dinner, frango (chicken) in a curry sauce (mild) with some bad white rice. A few beers and I was feeling better, if still a little peeved about being alone. Dinner was ok, but expensive. The restaurants on the side streets are much cheaper. It was so hot, about 34C with high humidity and no breeze at 7PM, that everyone was wilting. I took a cab to the Sambadrome.

The cab dropped me off on the wrong side, so it was a long trek to the entry way and then back all the way to the end section. There were lots of street vendors and people selling tickets. It turned out to be general admission, so I sat in the front row of one of the risers on the left side of the stage. I wasn’t going to get trapped in the crowd out in front of the stage and get crushed or something. Well, I have to say that you haven’t lived until you hear 35,000 non-english speakers singing “we don’t need no education.” There was no opening act, so Roger Waters went straight into the songs from the Wall album. The crowd went wild. Everyone was there to hear the Pink Floyd songs, and so the crowd was quiet when he did his other songs. Whenever he did a set of Pink Floyd, everyone went crazy. The concert went on for about one and a half hours and then took a half hour intermission. I listened for about two-thirds of the second set until I had heard all of the Pink Floyd songs I was waiting for, and then left so I would be able to find a cab. All in all a great time and I felt very safe. There was not a lot of security, but generally the fans were better behaved than most US concerts. Plenty of mj too … enough second hand that I don’t want to have to take a drug test any time soon.

I took a cab back to the hotel, showered (for about the fourth time that day), and changed into clothes for help disco. I walked over and just went straight inside and handed my $100 bill to the manager. I was nearly out of reals since I hadn’t hit the cambio before they closed. I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough for another date that night. I went in and bought a handful of drink tickets. I got an artic beer (pretty blah) and started making the rounds. The place was packed and the ratio was at least 2 girls for every guy and more coming in all of the time. The quality was much higher as well. There were still the 3s and 4s, but there were lots of 8s, 9s, and a few even better.

The dance floor was hopping and I finally caught the attention of a cute little 8 that I had seen the night before. She had a personality and a half. I bought her a drink (Smirnoff Ice, tastes like lemonade) and I switched to tequila. We talked for a while and I found out that she was originally from Argentina, but had lived in Brazil for most of her life. I told her that I was going to Buenos Aires next month. We talked for a while, and then she went to use the restroom and said she would be right back. I really thought we were going to hook up, so I waited. A tall, mulata girl came by and asked why I was sitting all alone. I told her my friend was coming back. She started to kid me that I was really alone and that my friend was pretend. She said that I should buy her a drink because she was real and would prove it too me. She took my hand and put it inside her shirt and about near attacked me. I kept fending her off. I would never have slept with her, but she was fun to tease and harass back. I finally told her that I would buy her a drink if my friend wasn’t back in five minutes, but after that she had to leave me alone. She got her drink and told me to go find another make believe friend.

Shortly afterward, I spotted the girl that blew me off standing with another guy drinking. She gave me a guilty look and I just smiled and blew her a kiss. I was now back at square one and it was about 1:30AM. I started to walk to the other side of the room but you could hardly move downstairs. As I pressed by some newcomers near the entrance, I realized that I just passed up a damn 10 (at least in my book). I turned around and asked her name. I guess I had enough tequila in me to lose my inhibitions and go after a girl while she is clearly standing with her friends. I wasn’t going to let this one pass me by. She smiled and told me her name was Patricinhia. I asked her if she wanted a drink and she said yes. We squeezed our way over to one of the bars and I pulled out my handful of tickets, R2.50 for water, R3 for beer, and R7 for tequila. I figured she would want a girl drink or water, but she asked what I was drinking. I said tequila and she grabbed two of the tickets and gave them to the bartender. The bartender must have liked us, because he poured us double shots each. Damned if she didn’t just take the whole shot. I palmed a 25mg tab of viagra I had ready to go in my pocket I followed suit with a tequila chaser. Then she wanted to dance. I thought oh well, here goes. We went by the dance floor and she started to grind her ass in these tight leather pants into my crotch. I could hardly keep my hands off her. After a few minutes, I asked her if she wanted to go back to my hotel with me. She said ok, but wanted R$300. I have to say that this once, I didn’t negotiate. I just said yes and we bailed. She said goodbye to her friends on the way out and we were out walked. Damn if heads didn’t turn as we walked by.

When we got to the Rio Roiss, she signed in and we went up to the room. As we were getting into the elevator, the desk clerk gave me a two thumbs up once he was sure she couldn’t see. In the room, I thought I might see a stone cold bitch come out. I just had to find out. Turned out, she wanted to do a sexy strip for me and then she was all over me. She looked even better with the clothes off. After she took my clothes off, we went to the races. She started with a good bbbj. With the Viagra, I was hard as nails and after she put the condom on, we did every position twice for about an hour. It was like fucking an ultra-thin supermodel that was totally into the moment and me. With the V, I was having a great time, but couldn’t come. I was doing her doggie style when I thought, maybe this is the time to try complete. I guess I had enough tequila that I just blurted it out “complete, ok”. She didn’t even stop fucking … just reached for the tube of liquid ky on the nightstand and oiled herself up. She lay on her side and I got behind her. Then we were doing it. She rocked my world that night. I only lasted another two or three minutes because her ass was so hot and tight. When we finished, I was just a puddle of sweat and come. We both took showers and I paid her with an extra R$20 for taxi. We spent two of the most glorious hours of my life together. I took some photos of her (clothed unfortunately) as she dressed. Yeah, maybe I should have negotiated, but I got every penny’s worth and more ... a trophy fuck from a trophy girl.

This was the total highlight of my trip, though I still had other interesting experiences the next two days. I slept like a log that night.

Great reporting Uwphoto, keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed reading this. I love Help, and could picture you in there making the rounds. I will be there later in the month, and will see it again.

Keep up the good work, and looking forward to the photos.

Guys, I can't figure out what a "termas" is (except that it sounds fun). Can anyone explain? Thanks!

MrBill

MrBill
Check the termas section. A terma is a club, 10% massage and sauna, 90% or should I say more like 99% brothel.

Thanks, Athos. That's kinda what I figured. I was just trying to put the robe together with everything else going on there. Damn, those Brazilian chicas are hot!!

MrBill

Just one question uwphoto.

Did you enjoy yourself?

EMK

I find myself always checking the airfares to Rio and looking for excuses to go back. The only other place I have liked as well was Thailand, although I have not visited the Philipines yet. But now I am off to Buenos Aires next week and I hear that holds great possibilities too. If my visas come through, then I'll be in Russia at the beginning of May. There are still so many places to explore and plenty of time to return to my favorites. Rio is pretty much at the top of the list and I expect to go back before the end of year.

uwphoto, excellent and well written report! If you had to choose between BKK or RIO, which would it be and why? I have not been to either yet, but hope to make my way to both eventually.

A Rio and Bangkok comparison is like comparing fine wine and great desserts, both are part of a really outstanding meal, but otherwise just too different in shape, size, taste, and structure to really compare. Let me try to point out some of the things I like about each and some of the problems with the different locations. I've only been to each location once, but I'd go back to either given any excuse.

Travel time - Bangkok from USA is the other side of the world - 20+ hours minimum (usually 24) so it takes two days to get there and 1 to return whether you go east to west or west to east. This means no short trips are really possible. Rio is 12-15 hours from USA which means that it is just an overnight flight. I'm used to red-eye flights from the west coast to east and sleeping on planes, so I'm actually better off waking up from the longer flight to Rio as long as I got a window seat so I could crash. When I got to Bangkok, I arrived at just before midnight, got a chance to hit a few bars, and then crashed and was totally adjusted to time the next morning. I find Rio less of a drain than going overnight to Europe because the big time zone crunch does not occur. Essentially the return trip from Rio is also a red-eye, so I can avoid taking a day off work on the return too.

Currency exchange - Thai baht is about 43/44 to the dollar. A typical barfine is 500 baht and the girl will want anywhere from 1000 to 1500 baht for short time, sometimes less, sometimes more. Long time is not much more. Real is 2.2-2.5 to the dollar. The rates range from 100 to 300 reals, with most in the 150-200 range for short time. There are ways to avoid the barfine in thailand such as beer bar girls, etc, so it can be very cheap. I'd say that Thailand averages half the cost of Rio for a typical session.

Massage parlors - Thailand is full of massage parlors that offer a fishbowl of girls to choose from -- literally a large room with tiered seating and big glass windows. The girls are wearing numbers and you just tell the papasan I'd like number 123, pay your money, give the girl a small tip if she does a good job. Unlike the AMP scene here in the US, it is full service. First, the girls strip totally naked, get in the tub with you and scrub you down. Then they pull out an air mattress, you lie down, and they squirt some soap on you and proceed to use their whole body to rub you down. After that, its back in the tub for a rinse, and then onto the bed for sex. If you are good, you can usually get a blowjob in the tub and a second release in bed. Prices range from $20-40US. Usual time is two full hours. Take a look at nanapong.com for lots of details. Want to try a twosome? Just pick a girl and ask her to select a friend. There are sometimes newer or prettier girls on the sideline that are available at a higher price. Beware of the farang surcharge and avoid taking a taxi directly (go to a nearby hotel and walk) or you'll pay extra. There is nothing like a thai soapy anywhere else in the world as far as I know (maybe the phillipines). You can also get traditional thai massage (try a foot or scalp massage), oil massage, etc. This is a good way to spend any time in late afternoon to mid-evening (say 4PM until 10PM). As far as I can tell, Rio has no massage parlor scene at all.

Termas - The Rio answer to the Bangkok massage parlor scene. At the termas you get a wristband with a number that corresponds to your locker. You use this as an account for drinks and any garotas you take to a cabine or suite. You have access to showers, sauna, relaxation rooms, and a bar full of waiting and compliant lovelies. Take a garota to a room and then get another shower, recuperate, and do it again.

Pick-up bars - Bangkok has clusters of bars all together in a few areas. These include areas like Nana plaza (a personal favorite) that has three levels of clubs with beer bars filling the courtyard and Soi Cowboy (Asoke) that are entire streets full of clubs and dozens of beer bars all clustered together. Nana beer bars are open from about noon and talent can be found hanging around there and places like true beer bars on Sukhumvit Soi 7. Girl drinks are usually about 100 baht and they will make them last at most places for 45 minutes or an hour. Lots of fun and most girls have pretty good english skills. The closest thing to these kind of clubs in Rio are the lido clubs (Franks, La Cicciolina, Barbarella), but they are much more upscale and have a lot less girls. A single club in thailand might have 50-150 girls working any given night. No cover charges either and drinks are cheap. Rio has two drink minimum that at Barbarellas is at least 50 reals. For an equivalent amount in Thailand, you'd be drunk off your ass. There is a more upscale set of bars in Bangkok at Sukhumvit Soi 33 called the dead artist bars (names like Monet, Renoir, etc.) The girls there dress in evening gowns and cost much more. This is closer to the barbarellas feel, but some places have couches and others have pool tables, etc. Meia Pataca and Mabs are more restaurants than a typical beer garden. You'd never have a tourist family wander into a beer garden in thailand, but I've seen them at both M.P. and Mabs. In Thailand, the bar scene runs until 2AM (used to be all night, but the new Prime Minister is cracking down).

Discos - The Help disco in Rio has to be seen to be believed. At midnight it starts hopping and goes until late with the best picks available midnight to 3AM. In Bangkok you have similar hooker discos at the Nana Disco and Thermae, but Help is just a league apart. If you can't score at help, you must be blind.

Agencies - While I am sure that there are agencies in Thailand, it would be rediculous to use one. There are litterally thousands of girls around from noon to 4AM. In Rio, there are dozens of agencies. Once you get past the language barrier with the receptionists, you can order top flight talent and have it show up at your hotel. It can be a lot of fun picking a short list of the girls in advance of your trips from the many sites, but be sure to have more than one choice in case they are not available that day. In general, the agencies can be a great source of daytime talent in Rio.

Language barrier - Thai is impossible to pick up on short notice. Portugese shares about 50% of the words with spanish, although pronunciations can be pretty different. In Thailand, most of the girls can speak some english and many are close to fluent. In Rio, most could speak only a few words of english, although a few had more fluency.

Body type - Most of the girls in Thailand are very small with flat to b sized breasts, some with huge nipples. I'd say that in general, Thai girls legs aren't very pretty. In Rio, you'll find all body types with plenty of garotas with bigger boobs and of course the famous Rio bunda (ass). The skin tones in Rio range from white to very dark and some girls have a lot of indian blood. This comes down to esentially asian body type vs. latina. I like 'em both, but they are not the same.

Sex style - Many of the girls in Thailand are more reserved. Although I had good experiences with bjs there, culturally they avoid anything but straight sex. In Rio, some of the garotas will attack you. They are much more into sex, and some are very vocal too. If your looking for anal, probably 1 of 3 girls in Rio will offer it, but virtually none in Thailand.

Beach scene - Bangkok is a big city. Rio is a big city on the beach. All of the action in Rio (with the exception of some termas downtown) is at Copacabana and Ipanema. In Thailand, you also have the Pattaya area (a few hours drive) and Phuket (a 1.5 hour flight away) that both have respectable bar scenes at night. I was in Phuket when some US troop carriers docked and disgorged 1000 marines. Even with that many troops on R&R, there were still bars without any marines at all and plenty of girls to go round. They could easily have handled 5000 more without filling up.

Food - Thai food is awesome and one of my favorites anyway. Good food is available from street vendors in both Bangkok and Rio. There are good restaurants in both cities, but when was the last time you went to a brazilian restaurant here in the USA? Then again, where else have I seen street vendors selling cooked bugs and the girls munching on them ... oh, did I kiss that?

Scuba - Thailand has some world class diving based out of Phuket. You can get on a live aboard and go into Burma if you dare too. There is also diving on the gulf side out of Koh Samui (but you might need to import your own talent if you go there). I've heard there is scuba in Buzios, about 2.5 hour drive south of Rio, so next time I plan to check that out. Recife is also supposed to have a good beach as well.

Air pollution - Bangkok has terrible traffic and lots of pollution. Even the police and streetsweepers wear masks. The air in Rio wasn't bad when I was there, but I've heard that it can be just like Los Angeles where the air gets trapped in the basin by the hills and smog gets bad periodically.

Airfare - Periodically flights are available to Rio from US for under $600, although a typical fare is $700-800 from the east coast. I've seen regular specials for $550 to Bangkok from LAX. It is usually $800 to $100 from east coast to Bangkok, so ticket prices to both are about the same. There are more carriers going to asia, particularly from the west coast where there is a large asian population living in the USA.

Hotels - As long as you stay out of the expensive five star hotels, you can do all right. I stayed at the Rio Roiss for about US$90/night one block from the beach and help. I stayed at the Mariott Sukhumvit 1 block from Nana Plaza for US$125/night. There are much cheaper places available (US$30/night or less) in Bangkok if you look. You may be able to do better in Rio with an apartment, but I doubt hotels at the beach are going to be too much cheaper.

Carnival - Someday I'm going to make it to Carnival. From YTs reports and others I've heard that prices are about triple the regular rate, but what an experience.

Weather - watch out for the rainy season in both places. Remember that Rio is souther hemisphere and Bangkok is just north of the equator. Both places can be really hot and humid.

Visa - you need a visa to visit Brazil. A five-year, multiple entry visa that must be used for the first time within 90 days, costs $45 + 10 for mail processing. Thailand does not require a visa. There is a 500 baht (if I remember right) exit tax on departure from Thailand. There was no exit tax in Brazil.

Summary- I guess you have to say that Thailand is much cheaper, but Rio is easier to get to. Both have more talent and venues than I can even possiblly aspire to investigate. Rio is great for late night partying. I'd have to say that I like them both about the same ... it is more of a question of mood and atmosphere. I'd go back to either in an instant. Although, given the distance, I think I would head to Rio first. If budget was more of a concern, I'd go to Thailand. If I had a few weeks to spend at one stretch, I would probably go to Thailand, but I wouldn't spend the whole time in Bangkok. I'd take side trips to Phuket, Pattaya, and probably venture into Vietnam or Cambodia.

LOL, ask a simple question and get a simple answer. Just kidding... That was one of the best comparisons I've ever seen, uw... For what ever reason, most travelers are unable to objectively compare the two locals. Well done....

Great analysis.

A note on massage scene in Rio- there is one. I just don't think that anyone in this crowd does it alot (so many other daytime options between the termas, agencies, beach cafes etc.) I think that termas are similar to massage parlors but just set up a bit better (you can hang out & have a beer, chat, etc). I think Rio massage parlors are about 1/2 the termas price.

The most popular massage parlour in Rio seems to be Diablocks. Its address is Copacabana 583 - Suite 204. It is located next to Copenhagen Chocolate. It's hours are 10am to 10pm; Monday thru Saturday.

YT: No massage at Diabolique. I'll post something about it under termas.

Across the hall is the Copacabana Spa (their card says "Beautiful girls with different behavior") where you can get an ok massage by a massage therapist. I got one from the older woman who owns the place, but some days there is a male masseur (I met him on the way out) but I'd doubt he'd try anything cute. Otherwise, there was a receptionista there who was absolutely gorgeous but her performance was so phony (she kept yelping "yes!" like in a bad porn flick) I had trouble keeping attention.

There is also real massage at Monte Carlo, and while it's not the best she does ok. But man, does she have a bad face! I left that night knowing I could honestly say I had a session with the ugliest woman in there.
