Checked out G-club Sherbet (Ekamai) last night. Same system as other G-clubs, and most similar to Resort G-club (Ratachada Soi 13). Mostly young Thai male customers, the girls told us they get very few farang visitors and we saw a few ex-Sopranos girls who told us they moved here to party with younger Thai men.
Not as great a band or party atmosphere as Sopranos, but a good G-club all the same.
Probably over 100 girls work here, mostly ‘Pretties’ or hostesses, with quite a few 8s. Then there are three sets of coyote dancers – one group of about 10 that get up 3 times a night that has at least two 9s, another more energetic and choreographed group of 6 that is all 8s and at least one 9 and another group of 6 that last night did a dance-off competition, who are all 7s or 8s. Not many of the girls working here speak much English. We came here from a Soi 33 bar where we had dinner, and the change in the looks and ages of the girls was remarkable.
Sherbet has a restaurant and a quieter bar area as well as the main party room with stage. We had fun, I spent most of the evening with a mixed (Danish-Thai) coyote dancer who has worked at just about every G-club I know since she started dancing when she was 18 (she is now 24) and who has a body to die for.
As always, I must stress that G-clubs are not for everyone, and quite a few guys we know well hate the places. Each to their own, but we were there for business reasons, had a good evening and if we had pushed it were sure we would have picked up phone numbers (my friend and I both have regular gf’s who know too many girls at Sherbet and we decided not to bother).
We did have an incident that I guess could happen anywhere, but put us off Sherbet a little. Apart from us, there was one other farang guy there last night, who looked like he was out to impress a group of about 5 Thai guys he was with. Not sure if he was drunk or not, but he was making a real ass of himself all evening – the sort of guy who’d probably get up with the girls on the chrome poles at a go-go. The Thai girl singer in the house band is simply stunning, and this farang guy was obviously trying to pair off one of his Thai friends with her, taking him right up to the edge of the stage as she was singing and goofing off. After the band finished their set, my friend asked our sales katoey (another reason I prefer Sopranos – even the sales girls are hot) if he could buy the singer a drink. He got a cocktail, and she came to join us.
She was lovely – great fun, spoke English well and we knew some people in common. Things were going along well, when suddenly the other farang customer strolls over, grabs the singer by the hand, mumbles something about ‘borrowing her for a while’ and drags her off to his table. We were stunned. In all my time in Thailand I have NEVER had a guy just walk over and grab the girl we are with and take her away – even in the roughest places in Pattaya. The girl was clearly embarrassed, but could not do anything, and the staff at Sherbet were also a bit shocked, but did nothing except subtly take her drink over to her new table and make an obvious point of crossing it out from our bill.
If this guy had pulled that stunt with any Thai guys he would be dead, plain and simple. He looked like a total prick – full of himself and throwing cash around. Sort of guy that gives all farang a bad name in any place.
Our dilemma – what to do? Cause a scene? Complain to management? Go over and talk with him? We decided to completely forget it – life is too short to make trouble, especially since neither of us were really out to pick up. The girl did her duty for about 30 minutes at her new table then crept off, and came over to apologize to us before she had to go up and sing again – but it was not her fault and we did not want to make things more difficult for her. There were also 6 of them and 2 of us! But we certainly took a good look at this guy, and look forward to running into him again one day in a different situation.
On other matters – got picked up by a girl in a car on Soi 11 last week. Just walking along towards Sukhumvit from Bed Supperclub at about 1:30am when a car slows down and a cute girl driver asks if I want a lift. She was about 25, hi-so (it was a good car), white skin Chinese look. I jumped in and she asked if I wanted to go to short-time hotel, simple as that. We drove the few hundred meters to Penthouse drive-in hotel and had a very good time. Never once did she mention money. WTF was that all about. Asked for her number and she gave me one, but it turned out to be no good. All I can figure is that (a) she was just keen to try a farang (I got the impression this was a new experience for her) (b) she was just horny (c) she forgot to ask for money, I certainly forgot to offer any. I’m sure you all will have many more ideas!
And one more story to prove that there is life beyond lower sukhumvit and outside of the bar girl scene. I have been having lunch fairly regularly for several months not far from a place of business I have to visit often, out in the burbs. I go to this particular food court as it is packed lunchtime with a mix of office girls and students from a nearby University. I have been the only farang I have ever seen eat here, and have been making eye contact with a few hotties now for several weeks just for fun. Two weeks ago, out of the blue, two Uni students decide to sit down at my 4-seat table – both of them are cute and we have exchanged smiles a few times previously. They started chatting, asking the usual questions, when one blurts out that they have seen me before a few times and that her friend likes me, at which point both break out into giggles.
A long story cut short, phone numbers are exchanged, with subsequent movie night date followed by horizontal jogging on the first night out. This girl had never even talked with a farang before except her teachers. The times they are-a-changing, seems like the old stereotypes about good girls in Thailand are falling apart. Nothing I like more than hitching up with a young Uni student who has never been with a farang before. They are so sexually inexperienced, but keen to learn. I gradually expose them to increasing amounts of degradation over time, until they are performing like Hungarian porn stars in a Rocco production, at which point I feel I have done my duty for mankind. Shame she doesn’t like the idea of another girl in bed though…..
Very nice report. The Soi 11 girl sounds intriguing. Where was she going to and from on Soi 11 at 1:30 a.m.? Just trolling for farangs?
I’m impressed that you seized the day. I never would have gotten in the car. I guess I’m a neurotic half man. I would have been convinced it was some kind of scam/trap/kidnapping ploy.
The fake number is classic. Either she’s married, or you were quite disappointing in the sack. Or both.

Had a similar experience a few months back on Soi 4. But it was a ladyboy driving.
There was an OK chick in the passenger seat though, but I was working next day. Plus a tad concerned I might end up in a ditch somewhere, or at least bankrolling their afterhours drinking.

Mochalover: You are 25, work out every day and look like Brad Pitt, right? Otherwise: I kill myself. If you see a Farang guy next week strolling up and down Soi 11 looking like a cheap ladyboy for sell who forgot to put on his girl dress - it’s me
I only once had free sex with a 20-year old with a D-Cup I met at 2 a.m. on Khaosan Rd. (and even her I put 1k in her purse when she was in the bathroom). I want more of that! Mochalover, my mentor, please expose some of your tricks and secrets!

Mocha: And: Good reaction to that Farang asshole. If I would have been drunk I would probably have stood up and told the guy to eff off. But that might not have been the smartest move. There are so many hotties in BKK and if you are into the nightlife scene you just have that statistical chance of getting into situations like that. I hope for myself I can in the future always see it like that and stay cool. It’s usually not worth it unless you are really physically attacked. This is even nmore true for me as a tourist who wants to have a good time. Maybe it’s different as a resident?

@gavinmac - obviously I’d like to think it was because she is married
@limmy - actually this all happened a week ago, and I can’t remember her name. But she is one of the regular coyote dancers at Sherbet, and has incredible, natural noms with a small tat on the right one. She is obviously luk krueng even from a distance.
@Phoenix - I’m 48 but look 47, and horizontal jogging is my only exercise. Thats why I am as stunned as anyone. I will only say that I always dress smartly, don’t even own shorts, t-shirts or sandals. To dissuade people from standing around on Soi 11 expecting offers of lifts from cute girls I need to add that I lived on this soi for over a year, walked it every night, and this never happened before.
@all - I guess there was a time when I would also have baulked at the idea of getting into that car alone. But one night about a year ago, I stepped outside my apartment for a serious night of partying, and as I got onto a m-bike taxi right on my doorstep a total stunner got onto another m-bike taxi next to me. She smiled, and I shouted “where are you going?” to which she replied “anywhere you want me to go!”. Unfortunately, I heard this just as my driver dashed off in the opposite direction from hers. By the time I had figured out what to do, and asked my driver to turn around, she was lost forever. I tried to put this out of my mind and carried on with my original plans, but the night was crap. From that moment on I vowed to ’seize the moment’ and never miss any opportunity, no matter how unprepared I am.

I bet the lady in the car had been waiting for Thongsuk in Fab all night and when he didn’t show up by 1am she settled for the next best thing

@ Orion: Fabb’s history.
The “woman of a certain age” who kind of ran the place hooked up with an Australian. (She was VERY excited about leaving town.)
I believe the old broad who owned the place and kept it as a hi-so food/wine/jazz/coffee hangout for Thai divorcees (and older single women?) decamped to Thong Lor about five years ago and opened a place called Fabb Seafood.
It may still be there.

Entirely feasible scenario…
Got picked up and taken to a boutique hotel by an ex Miss Thailand once.
Can anyone beat that?
Have googled her and she is the real deal.

My friend bought me a laser pen for projector. I was teaching a bird how to give blow jobs and what lingerie I liked. I would point at stuff while watching porn and she would practice (and turn up the next day wearing stuff similar to the movie). What a country!
I’m sure if my mates back home really knew what it was like here they would kick the shit out of me.

@Mocha: . . . . . sarged Sherbet “a deux” with a client . . . . . so ,um, what kind of business were you doing? . . . hafta call you on the wee hours soi 11 thing as well.
Question is, why do you feel you have to do this Mocha?

Have to disagree on your take on Sopranos - the sales staff, although they are indeed women, are far from hot (then again, maybe i’m going on the wrong night) and it seems to be losing its energy, much like it did during its last days in its prior life as “orbit”. In fact, they seem to have a fairly high turnover regarding sales staff, with the current batch being a bit too aggressive to use up your membership asap. Nevertheless, I’ve been a member for nearly five years and will try to stick it out - old habits die hard. Resort still rules the roost as far as G-clubs.

@ggg - you make some good points.
@thongsuk - don’t understand your post. What does ’sarged’ mean? And why do I feel like I have to do what? My friend and I visited Sherbet on business, he part owns an agency that supplies girls to g-clubs and wanted to check out Sherbet. Does that help?

psi - agreed. things like the penthouse letters with fat white guys talking about the twin girls who deliver pizza hut who want to be deflowered side by side while being videotaped. That shit is made up.
talk to pmmp. I used to go back to the US after trips to asia and tell stories, he always called bullshit on them. Now he knows. If one feels they need to make things up in bkk then they probably are not having a good time. No reason to make shit up in this town.

Each time I return from vacation in Thailand my married best buddy is always eager to hear my stories. He’s the only I can tell just about everything and not being looked at as a freak. Yes, it’s not nesseccary to make up anything. Sometimes when I recall some of my own stories I can’t help to wonder that this really happened to me or have the strong wish to simply fall on my knees and thank god that I am blessed to be a sex/beach/nightlife-tourist and enjoy myself in Thailand to the fullest. Great life.

Accumulated plenty of similar stories over the years, totally plausible.

I’ve fielded a raspy question or two from “the walking dead” back home. You get it at dinners BBQ’s and over the back fence. Some start off by TELLING you “Yeah, Bangkok. That’s just pedos, hookers and underage sex, right? I rarely reply to this kind of baiting. Then it’s a quiet “So, what’s it like?” or “Is it really like they say?”
After a while it gets a bit like a prison visit.
Bring a woman back and it’s daggers from the wives. At first, at least. I’ve fielded mean, loaded questions to my gal which have needed partial translating. Several times now as I started to explain in Thai, I’ve had guy’s wives lecture me that they “asked asked her not you” as if I was controlling her.
In polite company, it’s usually a pretty good show stopper when the host or someone else steps in and explains that I was just translating.
The worst are guys who’ve stumbled through here on R&R or backpacking at some point. They know it all, of course and they’ve probably spilled to their current wives about the pussy at some point but have to agree with her now to keep peace in the valley. Maybe they’re just completely pussy-whipped.
Funny enough, the gays seem to get it. So after a few I might say something like “Well, I suppose living in Bangkok is like being gay I imagine. Only, ah, with women.”
That holds ‘em for a while.

ts - pussy whipped or they just dont want to recall it all knowing how painful their current situation is in comparison.
The gays get it.
I used to be in a building with a male neighbor from europe. He used to give me shit about the hours I kept not realizing I was running the bar and such. I think he assumed I was lazy and just partying all the time. One time in the lift he spouted off about it since he thought he was the hard-working guy. Not why he even cared but anyway.
I retorted with a subtle - okay I keep strange hours but your apartment has seen more little thai ass than mine ever has. So deal. This dude had visitor every night and I think I hardly ever saw repeats. The gays love it here.

Let’s hear some more little stories from posters. Always interesting.
I always find most people who have no experience with Thailand or Asia cannot comprehend what we experience.
Half the time I don’t bother responding to questions.

sometimes its best to let the fools belief in what they think. why share such treasures with bozos that don’t have the initiative to travel and see for themselves or if they do travel to venture out and look at the ‘real’ life. cut the tourist traps out and ‘must see’ places.
i don’t bother to elaborate to my friends. its like here are some pics. my next trip is on this date, are you keen? if not then so be it.
knowledge is power and that is what separetes the sheep from the shepherd

I have a few on-line friends. Some I have known for a few years, since yahoo was first invented and some from more recent times.
One of these friends has a great job working at a major multi-national, has her own condo and is making a boatload of money. She and I always say hello online and occasionally meet up for a drink. I have never slept with this woman (despite pitching it a few times), the reason according to her, is that early on she positioned me as her big brother. We talk about sex as openly as the debate on this site - she regularly, like once a week, goes out and gets laid. She’s 33 now and her preference is guys in the 24 - 32 bracket. One of her haunts is Bed.
20 years ago this would not have happened. Even now she knows that she is not the norm - and she digs that. Her stance on sexual liberation is becoming less of a rarity. it is entirely plausible for her to see someone that she likes and simply go for it - males aren’t the only ones on the hunt …

Thanks for the submission Mochalover. Can anyone comment on the Karaoke rooms at Sherbet and girls attitudes towards those rooms? Thanks!
