The traffic was bad, so we didn’t get back to Bangkok until about 2:30pm. After checking back into the Omni, we decided to try something new. Instead of a soapie, we decided to try an oily. We took a cab over to Barons. We should have taken the Skytrain instead, since it is so close to the Phrom Phong station. Coming from Sukhumvit, you go down Soi 24, make a left at the first block and it is located at the end of that road.

BARONS

There is a small reception area and you pay in advance for the body massage. It’s 400B for 60 minutes, 600B for 90 and 800B for 120. The three of us chose the 90 minute option. For the extras, you pay the girl directly. After you pay the front desk, you walk in a little further, and you see a room with a couple of sofas on the right. The women will be dressed in two different ways. Some are dressed in white smocks and some are dressed in blue “evening wear.” You are then led up to your room. There was no shower in the room. I’ve read somewhere that if you choose the 120 minutes, you get a room with a shower. After the shower (we showered separately) we went back to the room, where I received a nice oil massage.

I was eventually informed that there were three types of “extras.” The HJ was 500B, BJ was 1000B and FS was 1500B. I asked her for the FS, at which time she disrobed and hopped on. I thought it odd when she asked me not to look at her while she was on top, but I just figured that she was new at the job. It would not be until after we finished that I discovered my (and Mrjoe’s) faux pas. Mrjoe and I both selected girls in the white uniforms. They normally only perform the regular massage without extras. My girl and I were both embarrassed and I asked her why she didn’t just tell me that. She said that once I ask for the extra, she is not allowed to refuse. All in all, I left feeling really uncomfortable about the whole experience there. Although, I would have liked to have had another go with a real “extras” girl.

RAINBOW 2 AND PLAYSKOOL

It was Mrjoes last night in Bkk (like Pokerface, he had an early am flight out), so we went to Nana for his last hurrah. Actually, since we went to Baron’s pretty late, Mrjoe decided to pass on getting a girl for his last night. Still, he wanted to gogo-hop with us. We went to Rainbow 2 first. After two weeks in LoS, the feel of Nana was now totally different. I still remember the wide-eyed wonderment we had that first time we stepped into Nana. Now, as we were sitting in Rainbow2, surrounded by attractive women, I was almost totally disinterested. I was almost completely sated by now, and no longer at all interested in “the hunt.” An very pretty girl with long hair and braces sat down with us, and showed Mrjoe quite a bit of interest, but he declined.

I ultimately went alone into Playskool, where I found Oy, the first and only girl I took out of Nana. Also at Playskool that night was that blond girl to whom I gave my number and who was supposed to meet me in front of Angels. As a matter of fact, she did eventually call me a couple of times. Unfortunately, by then I was in Pattaya. The second time she called me she said she wanted to see me and that she needed money. I calmly explained to her that I was in Pattaya and it was she who had failed to call me that night. It was kind of an uncomfortable conversation, since I didn’t remember her name. Anyway, she gave me some dirty looks as I barfined Oy.

PLAZA/CUPIDY

The following day was Naps and my final full day in Thailand. We decided to hit a soapie. Because Roger wanted to repeat with a prior girl, we went to Mirage around 3pm. Once again, though, the fishbowl was nearly empty. We waited for about 30 minutes, before we hightailed it to Plaza (always remember to tell the cab to take you UP the driveway) so that you don’t have the taxi surcharge at Cupidy.

My plan was to take a look at the Plaza girls first (to make sure that the taxi was long gone), then go downstairs to Cupidy with Naps to see the selection down there. Naps understandably did not want to pay the white guy surcharge at Plaza. I saw a gorgeous sideliner at Plaza and was planning to come back for her after walking Naps to Cupidy. Just then, a group of asian guys came in. Fearing that the bastards would take my woman for sure, I let Naps fend for himself. I made my selection, confirmed that she was into DFK, and we went upstairs. No slip and slide, just a nice bathing session followed by the main course. Once again, no fire shooting out of my ass, but a nice time.

Afterwards, I went down to Cupidy to wait for Naps. As I walked in, I was completely stunned. The fishbowl was full, and there were wall to wall sideliners. AND THEY WERE HOT!!!! Although my Plaza girl was gorgeous, I was kicking myself because I missed this great selection. When Naps came downstairs, he was as floored as I was. All these girls must have just showed up, because he didn’t have such a wide selection either. We gazed longingly for a few minutes and then left with a sad heart. As we were leaving, Naps told me that unintentionally, he picked a girl that he had taken previously. It was only when she got close that he realized what he had done. Of course, he acted like he did it on purpose!

We tried to get a cab to take us back to the Omni, but it was rush hour and none were to be found. We eventually had to take a tuk-tuk for 50B. A tuk-tuk is sort of like a covered golf cart powered by (I think) a two-stroke. In any case, it kicks off a lot of fumes. The ride was slow and near unbearable. Being in a tuk-tuk leaves you completely exposed to the elements, mainly exhaust fumes. Thank god Bkk is a safe city. In the tuk-tuk, you are totally vulnerable to anyone with bad intentions. I would not take a tuk-tuk again, except if absolutely necessary.

My final night, I chose Oy from Playskool again, this time for LT. She was a knockout and I wanted my final night to be comfortable. Before sending her on her way the next morning, I asked for her phone number. Like LDS1, she surprising did not have a cell phone. Instead, she gave me the phone number of the building in which she lived and her apartment number. I met up with Naps, who wanted to go to Barons again since he only ST’d the night before. All tuckered out, I took him there and then went to grab a final meal before our ride to the airport. Glad to be going home, both Naps and I were also sad to be leaving.

Thankfully, flights going west are always faster than flights going east. Still, it was more than enough time for us to start planning our next trip. . . .
