SAGuy 15,245 #1 Posted April 1 Background I’ve been meaning to do a write-up about this recent discovery that I made whilst walking around the side sois of the Golden Triangle last week. BKK has many great coffee shops, but this is one with a difference and this is the third time that I have been back there in just under ten days. Read on and you will learn why… Bump and Grind This caffeine oasis is located on soi 8/1 and has rapidly become my go-to place for an hour’s afternoon break from the hustle and bustle of BKK. The coffee shop is quite compact and has 6 tables inside and it is also busy for takeaways. Not only do they serve all of the usual variations of coffee, but they also have an inhouse bakery and provide a wide range of breads, cakes, and desserts, which change daily. The prices are in line with the Golden Triangle, and the cafe is kept spotlessly clean. So, what makes Bump and Grind so special and why do I keep going back? That’s extremely easy to answer – the coffee shop was founded by a certain Amah Klaowan, and it opened just two months ago. Amah had a successful career as a cabaret performer both in Phuket (Simon Cabaret) and BKK (Calypso). When she turned thirty, she decided to use her savings to establish a coffee shop, and this also explains why it is called ‘Bump and Grind.’ Did I mention that Amah is an exceedingly hot LB? One coffee shop – six hot LBs! In addition to the gorgeous Amah, there are also two hot baristas, two counter servers and a sexy baker. Every friendly member of staff is a LB! Specials Bump and Grind had a soft launch in early February and by mid-March Amah realised that more than half of her customers are farangs. Luckily, her and all of the service staff have decent English. To cater to the farangs that have flocked to the shop, she has started running specials and this month there is a happy hour from 07.30-11.30 every day, with 25% off coffees and 10% off all food items. Some of the cakes and savouries on display Summary I highly recommend this place. The coffee is really good and so are the sweet and savoury options. The eye candy is beyond outstanding, and Amah sends shivers down my spine, which trigger fantasies of her becoming the next ex-Mrs SAG. Location Bump and Grind is quite easy to find, as it stands out due to the great signage. It is near the top of soi 8/1. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be on Google Maps yet. Enjoy, but please be kind to Amah and the five lovely LB members of staff! Cheers SAG 10 1 2 Mark22, ds_, Denbosch1971 and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was only suspicious because of the AI image and the sign is not even written in Thai. …anyone want to open a ladyboy themed cafe with me? I actually thought it was a great idea and it would really suit a LB reaching retirement age. Maybe they could also have ST rooms upstairs? The concept was in the making for 8+ months and whilst I wrote the script, another far more clever BM than me created the AI images. What was interesting was how the AI models have improved over the past year. The original images weren't great and look cloned, but in the past few months, it has come along in leaps and bounds. It is fascinating and scary at the same time. My favourite image was the alley, if you look closely it really looks like a tip. You wouldn't want to stay in a hotel down soi 8/1. Note I decided to create a fake soi to give the game away and as expected that's how we were busted on both forums. The jape did last longer than I thought though! How the AI images improved over time: The original versions of Amah I actually got the hots for this version: Amah and the Crew Notice how the crew looked very 'clonish', this was a big problem with the earlier AI models. Finally, I will share a video of my new online girlfriend with you all: 1754677950336.mp4 The creative genius behind all of this is a BM, whom I will not name, but he is more than welcome to step up and receive his accolades.

Unavowed 2,006 #17 Posted April 3 It’s scary how good it’s getting.

Aye it has been three years in a row now. Who can ever forget the free BFs and ST room offer from 2024? The problem was, mongers turned and then kicked off to unsuspecting WN04 staff LOL. I learnt my lesson from that one. You are right, something along the lines of Atom has been sent to a re-education camp for 6 months would've gone down well. The problem was, we had started this one long before the Atomic one darkened the horizon, so it was too late to pull the plug. But there's always next year and newbie BMs...
