Should all of the above or whatever follows this post fail, or should you find yourself around Nana after hours and famished, you can always rely on getting some decent food at Took Lae Dee. While not falling into the category of elegance as other places. it should not disappoint you. Took Lae Dee means cheap and good in Thai, and its long food counter, which can be found inside any branch of Foodland supermarkets, has appeared in countless numbers of Thai movies and thus is well known throughout the country. The food is nothing over the top, but its regulars swear by it, and many visitors to Thailand end up spending days and hours there, lingering over the big breakfasts, including toast, eggs, bacon, ham, sausages, orange juice and tea or coffee. Think of that local cheap hangout diner back in the USA and you can see why Took Lae Dee is a success, not to mention that you can go shopping in the supermarket while you are there. The branch in Soi 5 attracts the odd freelancer...so you never know what bargains you may get.

gediHave I missed something ? Quite a lot it would seem. Check in Bar was in the alley between soi 5 and 7 CIB moved [last August I believe] There is a CiB thread with maps and updates too. Cheers

Mardhi, Thank you for keeping "us" (those who visit from time to time) updated. Also, with these type of maids this venture is likely to go straight to number one on ladyboyadvisor.com p.s. I made that domain up and then found out it existed!!

Good luck boombastic. Thanks for the offer but no drink is required. This forum has served me well and it is only fair to return the courtesy to fellow first timers. Knowledge when shared can be very powerful and useful. Enjoy your time and be safe.

boomboom bastic Your first time eh? Welcome! You have a number of options and all have pros and cons. So, let's assume you've picked up your preferred LB in one of the Nana Plaza bars or CiB. Besides the agreed sum for short of long time (anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 baht) you will need to pay a bar fine (600 - 700 baht) and that will be on top of one or two drinks you will have purchased, say from 320 baht upward). As this is your first time, it may be more expedient to take the option of renting one of the rooms upstairs for as little as 350 thb. This will eliminate any awkwardness should anything go wrong in "your room". Total approximate cost 3,500 to 4,000 baht not factoring in your time to reach the venue. Pros: you see the LB you like in real life Cons: If you do not find what you like at the start, it may turn out to be time consuming and moving from bar to bar will require new drinks. A second option is "room service". You can order your favourite "take away" from a website like www.ladyboy-for-you.com and have it delivered to your room. Pros: very easy and time efficient, not having to walk next to her if that embarrassing for you Cons: more expensive and the LB may not turn out to look/be what you expected. Third option "street food" walk down Sukhumvit road any time after 7 pm on the odd side of the road past the BTS at Asok and all the way down to Soi 3 and you will go past countless options many of which are LBs. Most will know of a short time hotel nearby for 350 - 400 baht and their short time rate may be as low as 1,000 baht. Fourth option Try a dating site such as Thai friendly and be amazed as to how reasonably easy it is to hook up with a LBs. Some LBs will be professional freelancers and some will be delightful LBs genuinely looking for a relationship. If the latter, meeting them for a drink or dinner may be a pleasant option. pros: lots of choice and you can filter by age, weight etc. Cons: There is a risk your date may be older or bigger than the photo on the website. Under this option, you may have to take them back to your hotel. In terms of cheap 2 star plus hotels which are LBs friendly, an acquaintance of mine is quite pleased with the Orchid group. There are three of those in Soi 4 including the White Orchid Inn. Good luck.

DeepnHard Thank you for starting this interesting topic. Good lubricants, although they cannot prevent our mounting lust they can at least minimise chafing. I tend to ask LBs for advice as to what they like and use. Those who are a little more "travelled" often include Astroglide, a smooth water based lube, as part of their choices. Having used it a few times, I found it long-lasting and not sticky, so I have stayed with it. For those capable of of lasting all night (not me) there is a Silicone liquid variety too. I hope this helps those BMs considering options.
