Plucked up the courage to go into Thermae tonight, just before 10pm. Actually really pleasant and relaxed in there. Very different atmosphere to the beer bars and agogos. I liked it
Girls were varied and I found a lot of them quite cute with their normal outfits on.
Lighting was fine as mentioned above. Was quite busy and not just Japanese in there as I was expecting. A lot of older "farang" were present who were much braver than me
I had one drink and hovered around looking a little awkward. Some of the girls smiled at me which gave me a very nice feeling. I ended up not taking any girl though as it was quite early and a Saturday and my first time there so just observed what was going on. Will definitely go back before the end of my trip and try ST or LT.
Decided to visit Crazy House afterwards (Soi Cowboy very busy and buzzing). Crazy House is quite small and packed. Everyone was watching the sole dancer who was very good! No seats and nowhere to stand so I left.
Headed to Nana Plaza. I like it there. It was busy but not too congested and plenty of seats outside. I had a beer whilst watching the footy and looking around, and then went to Bangkok Bunnies (my second time there). It was much busier there than last time I went but some of the really cute girls I saw last time weren't there. I sat down on the bench seats at the back and bought myself a drink.
One girl in particular was really making an effort to provide a show and smiled at me so I asked her over. I think she said her name was Mimi, 21 years old, or something like that. She was very friendly and talkative. I bought her a couple of lady drinks and we had a good time for about 45 mins. She was getting very flirty after a while and sat on my lap in different positions, grinding away whilst guiding my hands all over her, grabbing my crotch and playing with my nipples! Kissed a little too. She wanted me to BF her but I wasn't interested tonight and politely declined. She gave me her Line ID when I left, kissed me and said goodbye. Not pushy at all. This is still my favourite place so far.
Tomorrow I will treat myself to a "massage" in the afternoon and try Bada Bing at Patong in the evening.
