I could understand Thailand being the first choice for travellers for it's variety, ease of travel, low costs, party atmosphere and beautiful scenery but I agree with the above poster-Bangkok itself (where I am right now) is nothing to write home about. Yes there is some beauty to the temples but that is about it  |

60% of the world's current population live in Asia.
So to this audience, I can understand why they would view Bangkok as being a key city for culture and entertainment. |

The soapy Massage parlours are nice after breathing in Tuk Tuk exhausts. |

The only name I recall is Mona Lisa. When I was there I was the only non Asian mostly Japanese/ Korean and Chinese. They also have women who sing songs can get pretty pricey.
There one that's really awesome it has a strange Thai name starts with
Ch______#2. This one is truly awesome. A jacoozi tub that actually works. They don't need the Tuk Tuk Commition. You never pay more than 2 thousand and that gives you two pops. No big pressure to tip too. |

| Bangkok's noisy, hot and muggy, polluted, and most of it is very difficult to travel across. So why #1? It gives the customer what he or she - more often he - wants, for a decent price. It's also a place for all kinds of cuisine made the way it's actually supposed to taste. It's also a great base from which to travel all over SE Asia. |

Don't remember the place or the location. But I will find it the next time I go back.
Are you a member of Bangkok Tonight. They've got them all listed with the prices. If you're not a member try joining. Although it's not the kind of site you can go on from your school. Whatever you do don't go to Cupidity
crap service and way too expensive. |
