Nicholas Cage hits Soi Cowboy

Bangkok Dangerous: Nicholas Cage hits Soi Cowboy Sukhumvit Rd Bangkok,

Thailand.
Looking dangerously shifty in a Hawaiian shirt and black wig, Hollywood superstar Nicholas Cage was, last night, spotted lurking outside the Tilac Bar on Soi Cowboy - the very same Bangkok go-go bar where fellow thespian Hugh Grant famously had his tackle felt.

Unlike Hugh, however, Nicholas Cage was in Soi Cowboy on business filming a big-budget remake of the Pang brothers' cult gangster thriller, Bangkok Dangerous.

Signs warned Bangkok revellers that, by entering the area, they were consenting to being filmed - so it probably wasn't the best night to go striding down Soi Cowboy arm-in-arm with a six-foot transsexual.

Bangkok Soi Cowboy (Geramany) near Soi NANA

Die Soi Cowboy (Soi in Thai bedeutet Nebenstraße) ist ein kleines Rotlichtviertel von Bangkok und liegt zwischen der Soi 21 (Asoke) und der Soi 23 parallel zur Sukhumvit Road. Das Publikum in den Bars der Soi Cowboy besteht aus westlichen Touristen und in Thailand lebenden Ausländern.
Die Soi Cowboy ist nur etwa 200 Meter lang. Rechts und links sind dicht an dicht kleinere und größere Go-Go-Bars aneinandergereiht. Ähnlich wie in Patpong tanzen leicht bekleidete Gogo-Tänzerinnen an Stangen, die auf einer erhöhten Bühne montiert sind. Offiziell sind sie Angestellte der Bar und werden für Tanzdarbietungen bezahlt. Gegen Zahlung einer "Bar Fine", können Barbesucher einzelne Tänzerinnen für eine Nacht "freikaufen" und anschließend mit der Thailänderin direkt über sexuelle Dienstleistungen verhandeln. Da Prostitution in Thailand verboten ist, kann durch diese rechtliche Konstruktion der Barbesitzer dennoch ein entsprechendes Angebot an Touristen machen, die die für Thailänder üblichen Plätze nicht kennen.
Die Straße erhielt ihren Namen nach dem ehemaligen amerikanischen Flieger T. G. "Cowboy" Edwards, der zwischen 1973 und 1977 die erste Gogo-Bar eröffnete.

Prostitution in Thailand comes in a variety of flavors; brothels, body-massage parlors, hostess bars, and karaoke places. All of them cater almost exclusively to local customers and Asians. For the high rollers, private member clubs abound. There are also numerous go-go bars and “beer bars” which often cater to Western visitors or tourists. Finally, there are large numbers of “freelancers” who can be found in bars, hotel lobbies, shopping malls, discos or on the street corners. While some are sex trade professionals by definition, others are less clearly so, and may simply ask for or expect payment from the men they sleep with.
Prostitution in Thailand comes specialized for many ethnic backgrounds. Some places catering to Thais and Asians will not accept people from other backgrounds to enter the premises if not invited by one of the regular guests or without paying a prohibitive entrance fee. The same holds true for places catering to Westerners, Japanese, Arabs or other ethnicities, most will refuse clients with another background at the door.
Body Massage:Body massages, washing and massages most often consists of either an oil massage, assisted bath, and/or body slide treatment (”soapie”) followed by sexual services. The latter may or may not be included in the price paid to the house; if not, they are negotiated with the masseuse.
Some of the establishments cater mostly to residents and Asians, but will also accept Western customers. Typically the women wait sitting behind a glass window (”fish bowl”), watching television, while the men have a drink and select a girl. Sort of like “window shopping”.
These establishments can be found in all larger cities in Thailand, and are often combined with hostess bars, karaoke bars and a restaurant. The distinguished owner of several such affluent parlors, created a commotion in 2003 when he publicly accused hundreds of police officers of having accepted bribes from him. He later ran for public office and became a member of Parliament.
Thailand is also known for a traditional style of massage, unrelated to the body massage. Traditional, “ancient”, or “physical” Thai massage is very relaxing and beneficial to the body and mind. The masseuse or masseur is well schooled, frequently at temple academies such as Wat Pho in Bangkok.

Anonymous Female

“My Lust For Sex”by an Anonymous Female, age 43
“Sex became an addiction to me when I was only a teenager. I became sexually active at a very early age. My father was always too busy for me and he and my mother got divorced when I was 6 years old. While they were married, my bed was always in their bedroom with them due to the fact that we were poor and didn’t have enough money for a 3 bedroom house and I had two older sisters. I don’t remember ever seeing them have sex, but I must have at some point.
As a young teenager, I was approached by other girls older than I to have sex with them out of curiosity and I did. I really enjoyed it but I wouldn’t admit it. Due to rejection from both parents I turned to boys to find love, and my sexual addiction only escalated from there. I always had sex with almost every boyfriend I had from the time I was 15 on. I have no idea how I didn’t get pregnant…a miracle I guess. I always fell in love with each boy but they always dumped me after they got the sex that they wanted.

Reason to Sex

Soi NANA

Researchers in USA have been asking for several years to men and women the reasons why they have sex, finding as results that both genders get intimate for mostly the same motivations. Any guess? If you go with the classic stereotype, you will tell me that men want sex for the physical pleasure (no commitments, no future promises) and for women, on the other hand, sex should be accompanied with an assurance of the eternal flame of love...Wrong wrong wrong. Apparently, for both young man and woman, having sex is more about lust in the body than a love connection in the heart.Certainly, expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10, but the participants (college students) did take a back seat to the clear No. 1: "I was attracted to the person," or “I do it because it feels good."Surprised? Probably not. After all, what else can we expect from our modern society? But not all stereotypes are dead. The results also noted that guys are more likely to be opportunistic, while girls feel a need to please their partner.

SEX may be risky wherever you are. But those indulging in the riskiest behaviour often live in some of the world’s richest nations, according to Foreign Policy magazine, using data from the latest Durex Global Sex Survey—the world’s largest survey of sexual behaviour, with over 317,000 participants in 41 countries. They have sex at a younger age and sleep with more people, both indicators for contracting sexually transmitted infections. Each year, there are more than 340m new cases of such infections globally, excluding HIV.

Sex @ Sleep

If you think it’s impossible to have sex while you sleep, think again, according to a new study.
There are at least 11 different sex-related sleep disorders, collectively referred to as “sexsomnia” or “sleepsex,” that affect people who are otherwise psychologically healthy—causing them to unknowingly engage in various sexual activities during the night.
Carlos Schenck, a psychiatrist at the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center, and his colleagues have studied a number of behavioral disorders associated with sleep.
“Any basic instinct can come out in the context of sleep,” Schenck says. “All sorts of things can happen.” Recently, he and his colleagues turned their focus to sex-related sleep disorders. They conducted computerized medical literature searches for studies published between 1950 and 2006 related to sleep and sexual behavior and looked through a number of sleep medicine textbooks. They also analyzed data from a previously completed internet survey that had gathered data from 219 people, 92 percent of whom had experienced multiple “sexsomnia” episodes.
Among other things, they found that people—mostly men—sometimes masturbate, initiate sex with a partner and reach orgasm during sleep. They usually have no memory of these activities when they wake up, learning about them only if a partner or roommate tells them.
Some of these activities can also have legal consequences, such as if someone initiates sex without a bed partner’s consent, noted Schenck.
People are at-risk for developing sex-related sleep disorders when they also tend to suffer from other sleep disorders—such as sleepwalking or sleep terrors, according to Schenck. “Sexsomnia doesn’t come out of nowhere,” he said. But “for whatever reason, sexual behaviors become part of the repertoire.”
While people might feel ashamed to learn from their partners that they are exhibiting these behaviors while they sleep, these disorders are not indicative of psychological problems, noted Schenck, whose recently published book, Sleep: The Mysteries, The Problems, and The Solutions, has a chapter devoted to sex-related problems. “Bizarre and inappropriate behavior during sleep does not necessarily reflect a daytime psychological problem.”
And “sexsomnia” disorders are easily treated with medication, he added.
If anything, people who become aware of their problem but don’t seek help put themselves at an even greater risk. “The longer you go with this problem without getting it treated, the more you can then develop a secondary psychological problem,” such as depression, said Schenck, whose study is published this week in the journal Sleep.

It's the weekend at the Nana Plaza, Bangkok's notorious fleshpot where girls can be picked up for the price of a bottle of Johny Walker Black . This three story mezzanine complex starts to fill up with barflies from around the world. Inside the bars - with names like Voodoo and Rainbow - the dancers are putting on their make-up and bikinis oblivious to the catcalls of punters sitting on stools, some with paunches that have downed more beers than the local Shingha brewery."Check that one out with the Pamela Anderson knockers," says one red eyed middle aged English man in an East Ender accent."She's a katoey(ladyboy)," replies Christopher G Moore, demurely taking another sip from his expresso.

Elephant

to-night my first verbal confrontation with the mahout: he insisted I had to buy food off him when I wanted to makes photos with which I did not agreed. A female American tourist made also pictures without contributing money, the mahout gave the elephant an instruction: the elephant turned around and chased her at his command. I went to the police and got a telephone number to be used concerning street elephants. I knew that there must be some number. I will keep you informed.

Songkran

Go go entertainment in Bangkok Many of Bangkok’s go go bars feature simply a continual run of songs in different musical styles – thumping dance beats and in some cases rocking tunes – and go go girls of seemingly different levels of enthusiasm dancing, or at least doing their best imitation of a dance, to the music. In many cases dancing equates to swaying back and forth around a pole or up and down the stage in order for them to have a look at the interested parties in the bar and vice versa.
While several Bangkok go go girls listlessly follow the music until the song ends and their shift on the stage is over, other go go bars feature dance routines, also of various quality. Likely the best go go bar in Bangkok as far as this is concerned is the Long Gun Bar in Soi Cowboy, which features regular shows that are choreographed beforehand and feature displays of acrobatics mixed in with the typical go go show. In addition to the shows some bars feature go go girls dressed according to a theme, such as the Playskool bar in Nana Plaza, which features waitresses and dancers in the cute Bangkok university students getup.

Areas to Avoid

Areas to Avoid
The sprawling Klong Toey slum south of the city, near the port go here at your own risk, the Tourist Police won’t be here.

YANAWA RAMA3 rd. south of the city, near the port go here at your own risk, the Tourist Police won’t be here.

WARNING

Bangkok has its share of crime but unlike other capitals, it has a special police force of English speaking officers set up to take care of foreigners in the event of trouble, always call the Tourist Police (Tel: 1155).
The main thing with Tourist Police is that they are trained to take the side of the foreigner, where as the normal Police with out question will side with the Thai and in many cases where a scam is involved might be in cohorts with the thief or scam artist. If you are ever in trouble for any reason ask for the Tourist Police. This is an absolute must. Like other law enforcers, the Tourist Police wear brown paramilitary uniforms and carry guns. What distinguishes them are their shoulder badges that read "Tourist Police" and their berets in place of helmets.

PRICE LIST

PRICE LIST
The prices here vary greatly but here are a few determining factors, the 1st is how the lady looks, if she is a stunning lass then expect to pay prime prices. The second is you, unlike the west where a prostitute will go with just about any one, these lady are choosy at times, if the lady is young and fine and your old fat and ugly, she might not go with you or you might have to pay the prime rate, but if your young and thin then the going average rate should apply. Its all about supply and demand and the demand has been out pacing the supply lately here in Patpong. There are others factors too, how your dressed, if your new (believe me they know a newbie) to this, if your Asian forget about it take a loan because the price has just doubled at least. Its not that they don't like Asian men, its due to the Japanese coming over during their economic boom and paying outrageous prices, the girls just got used to thinking Asian man big money. So as you can see the prices are not fixed and so it is hard to say what you will have to pay but below is a high and low that if you stick to it you should be ok. For gods sake don't go over the high, every time you do it just brings all the prices up and also this does not include bar fines which are between 300 to 500 baht.

Soi Cowboy

You will find "Soi Cowboy" at the end of the Sukhumvit Night Market, in a side street. It is the 2nd-oldest "nightclub district” in Bangkok. Designated after one the first Bars in the quarter, the cowboy bar. The original bar does not exist any more, but there are many bars, which offer the "usual" mixture: Girlie Bars, Strip Bars, music taverns. After the "crackdown" at Nana, Soi Cowboy is getting famous again and a lot of people go there for a drink or two. Nothing the despite: the Soi cowboy also always belongs with me to the outdoor-places, where I like to sit down and drink a beer or a Mekong Coke.
And if you like Thai-Food: go to the corner of Soi Cowboy, there you will find the "Ships Inn". A small bar with great food, a good Bar to go to is the "Midnite Bar". I like this bar very much, because the people there are VERY friendly and they all speak English very well.

Bamboo Pub

Bamboo Pub Party, Every Friday, 9:30 pm, Free Buffet
A great alternative to the cluster of bars just across Sukhumvit Road, this great indoor beer garden on Sukhumvit Soi 3 (just a couple of minutes from the BTS Ploenchit skytrain station or Nana skytrain station) is quite different than many of the similar restaurant/bars in the area.
The bar has a great selection of beer and a full range of cocktails and bar drinks. I am not one to mingle in bars so easily, but here, the people are friendly and there are many beautiful ladies that frequent the bar and will show-you-up in a game of pool or just sit and have a beer with you in friendly conversation.
The magic of this place that seems to set it apart from the crowd is that it is just far enough away from all the other bars, making you feel like you have left to another place, away from all the craziness of Nana and the bars that litter the street, even though you're just a couple minute stroll away.

Queen of Nana

Queen of Nana
Among the area's many Middle Eastern eateries, Nefertiti shines

Choosing a place to eat among the Nana neighbourhood's many Middle Eastern and North African restaurants can be an intimidating task. They all seem to serve basically the same fair, sport the same thick menus, and serve a predominantly Middle Eastern crowd, but Nefertiti, just as its name for the Egyptian queen, famous for her beauty, indicates, is a diamond among gemstones.
And it shines like one, too. On the corner of Soi 3/1, the restaurant's silver facade, man-sized golden hookahs, and bubbling fountains make it hard to miss along the ever-crowded soi. Charcoal-fired hooka smoke blends with the smell of fresh naan and kebabs as families and friends gather to pass an evening. It is this atmosphere, as well as the fantastic food, that sets Nefertiti apart from the competition. The outdoor seating and multiple screens playing Arabic music videos is reminiscent of the outdoor cafes and restaurants around Al-Hussein, Cairo or Place de l'Etoile, Beirut.
Despite the large Middle Eastern and African community, when the restaurant opened six years ago, it was one of only three Arabic restaurants in the area, says general manager Walid Elsebaey. Nefertiti began catering to the local Arab community, as well as travellers from the Gulf States who come to Bangkok for shopping and hospital visits. But, the restaurant also provides Bangkokians a chance to expand their dining horizons at a reasonable price.
The menu features an extensive array of Middle Eastern cuisine created by chefs from across the Arab world, including Egypt, Yemen and the Persian Gulf. It includes classics like baba ganoush (Bt80), feta cheese (Bt80), mixed kebab platters (Bt200), and falafel sandwiches (Bt90), but alongside those are specialities like the Magloub lamb, rice with eggplant and stewed lamb (Bt300), and Egyptian-style rice with lamb stew (Bt250).
Dining at Nefertiti is a social event with everyone sharing all the dishes. The food is brought out piece by piece, with each dish accented by its predecessor, the table slowly fills with plate upon plate of food, and it is the whole combination of these many flavours that make the meal.
We started off with fresh naan, baked in a brick oven, sprinkled with sesame seeds (Bt20) and hummus (Bt80). Hummus, although a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, is often disappointing, with either too much garlic, too little lime, or too chunky a texture. Nefertiti's hummus achieves a perfect balance of tart lime and rich chickpea flavour.
We tried several other Middle Eastern classics. The falafel (Bt100), made of chickpea flour and herbs, was served in flat disks opposed to round balls, making it easier to eat. The tabouleh (Bt70) was full of fresh herbs, parsley and scallions, and light on salt, which other places may use to hide a shortage of fresh herbs.
Served alongside every meal is a plate of greens, colourful pickles, peppers, and limes to add some zing to the kebabs and humus that are best eaten by hand using the warm bread as utensil.
Lamb, a rarity in Thailand, features extensively throughout the menu, and surprisingly, it is not imported. The hallal lamb is produced locally meaning it is always fresh, and the chefs ensure that flavour comes out using traditional recipes to create homey classics.
The mixed grill (Bt200) features ground lamb and steak kebabs, and succulent grilled chicken served with potent garlic sauce - signature of any true kebab platter or sandwich.
The Egyptian-style rice with lamb (Bt300) is a four-layer dish served in a casserole with a base of stew soaked bread, topped by buttery basmati rice, followed by pieces of lamb so succulent they fall off the bone, all of which is then drizzled to taste with the subtly tart tomato sauce.
For after-dinner sweets, Nefertiti has many custards and puddings to choose from. We tried the classic Um-Ali (Bt100), a milky pita bread pudding with toasted coconut and sugary white raisins.
But, dinner does not stop when you finish your food. Hookah is an after-dinner tradition, and a perfect way to cleanse the palate and relax after a heavy meal. Neferetiti's hookahs (Bt150) feature apple, strawberry, grape and mint flavours. The long, elegant pipes are served alongside sweetened mint tea, and restaurant patrons sit for hours smoking, chatting, listening to music, or simply watching the street scenes pass.
