| Peak time at Wild Country, yesterday |
And so, from the sublime to the ridiculous. For reasons best left undisturbed, I found myself wandering the wilds of Washington Square recently. This is the wasteground on which a handful of beer bars remain, between Sukhumvit sois 22 and 24. It’s a bit of a dump.
I’d visited Bourbon Street before, the pride of Washington Square, for the Tuesday buffet - they do some pretty good Cajun food. But the rest of the bars had never tempted me. After a skinful though, I’ll try anything.
As I rounded the Mambo Cabaret Theatre, a bevvy of Issan girls waved to me from outside one of the bars - more out of hope than expectation, I thought. I approached, and clocked the name over the door - Wild Country. I was sure I’d heard tales of debauchery in this place before, but couldn’t quite remember the details.
Anyway, in I went. It’s laid out like a decrepit Texan diner, and staffed by the usual suspects from Issan - ages ranged from early twenties to maybe forty, fifty and possibly beyond. I was the only customer in the bar, and they told me I was their first customer of the day. It was around 11pm.
I ordered a bottle of Tiger, and as I took a sip, the girls descended upon me - two on the bench next to me, three opposite, another three on the bench behind me, with the ninth leaning over the table.
Hands appeared from everywhere, massaging my legs, shoulders, neck, arms, back and indeed groin. The closest of the girls poked her tongue into her cheek and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. These are some very friendly ladies.
Since I was firmly at the “happy idiot” level of drunkenness, I offered to buy a round of lady-drinks for everyone. At a mere ฿60 a girl, this only cost me ฿540. So grateful were they, that my flies were unfastened almost before I realised it, and girl #1 of 9 was seeing just how far she could get BBB Jr down her throat.
And then the door opened, and in walked the Thai bloke who you must have seen in the Cowboy and Nana gogos, wandering around with a bunch of limp roses dressed in a (seemingly) random football shirt. On this occasion, he was wearing the colours of Newcastle United.
“Flowers for ladies?” he grinned at me, eyeing my rapidly shrinking todger.
“Not today, thanks”, I mumbled.
He left.
And so the oral merry-go-round continued to its inevitable conclusion, and I can report there are some very talented and friendly girls in here. Some are cuter than others, although there were no girls I’d have considered barfining - others just weren’t very cute at all.
The ageing mamasan claims to have trained the girls herself. If this is true, her technique must be pretty good. But, perhaps mercifully, I was all done before it was her turn. Maybe one of you guys can let me know. Me, I bought another round in appreciation, downed my Tiger, and made a sharp exit.
May I be the first to congratulate you on an excellent report. Not for the first time venturing into the seamy neon underbelly of Bangkok and coming up smelling of, well, spunk.
Less of the 5* members' clubs and more of the rudderless sexpat life please.

To be honest, I can't remember. Which means it wasn't very cheap, and wasn't very expensive. It's really only worth visiting for the food in my opinion though, and the Tuesday buffet is best value by far.
Check their website…

@Stevie: Bourbon Street is a bar/restaurant.
Wild Country (which this page is a review of) is a glorified BJ bar.
Although I do love the idea of you wandering into Bourbon Street, clutching your beer coupon, and ordering a pint of Heineken and a blowjob..

No BJs at Bourbon Street. Just cajun food. That Louisiana hot sauce would really sting your peter.
Wild Country is around the corner. No jambalaya; just fish in a taco.

I went in there with a buddy and we chatted up the mamasan for a while. Heard some funny stories but I had no idea on-site service was provided.
PDB though still aren't my thing…

@Smitty: "PDB"?
I know "PDA" is "Public Display of Affection".
"Public Display of Boner"?
