Asia After Hours

Global Nanpa : Golden Super, ep.1

Global Nanpa is back with a fresh, updated design and some new features. We are still working on more stuff which isn’t availabe yet. It will will take around another year to get some ideas implanted.
The video guide section is now much better structured than before already, thanks Ni. It is not finished yet, it will take until fall 2012 to make it better.

The last trip really broke a barrier. In general I would say : everything is possible now. I just have to decide for which action I want to spend my energy on. The old limits of money and time can hardly be felt anymore. Still, I dislike wasting resources of all means where I don’t see any value for.
Once you cross the EUR 1000 per day stay barrier you are mainly paying for having everything private for yourself and at a level beyond that (3000++) you are mainly paying for the prestige/show.

This amateur video stuff can hardly improve by me alone anymore that’s why I called for external help to hopefully bring things to a higher standard. I had worked with Jakob twice before and now we will focus on a more serious project that will take almost a year to get officially released.
I still try to involve as less people as possible here, but I had reached my own limits on the former website that’s why I asked other people for help.
There is not much time left until the next trip and I am so damn busy again with my real job that I have no idea how to release 10.000 pictures and 100 GB video material (can’t call me lazy…) from the last trip.
That’s why I decided to kick out a summary video at the beginning now because it can take some time until you see the independent videos of it.

Who knows, maybe Jakob and I get to see Brad Pitt and a big Hollywood crew next time we are out there ?! When I stayed at Six Senses Koh Yao Noi in November, the news just came in that Brad Pitt and a Hollywood crew want to rent the entire resort in December, most likely working on a massive new Thailand project. On my day of leave of Six Senses, they delayed their plans because of the current flooding problems those days in Bangkok.
Hollywood landed a big hit with Hangover 2 where the action takes place at Ritz-Carlton-Phulay Bay, Krabi and in Bangkok.
It is too funny, but Cherry (Baccara, Soi Cowboy, Bangkok) and some other people (friends of Sam/Tilac bar, Soi Cowboy, Bangkok) told me that some staff people from the Hangover 2 crew still often frequent their bars, sitting outside (not inside) the bars and barfining girls. And now you tell me that Thai bargirls aren’t a powerful weapon of mass destruction ?! LOL.

Angeles City news :
Gerard, Angeles City’s most innovative entrepreneur, from ABC (Angeles Beach Club) hotel introduced me to some of his grand plans in Makati, Manila – a real shocker, but more about that later. He actually did fly 1 day after me to Pattaya and the guy from La Pasha was on the same plane to Thailand like me.

What’s new in Bangkok :
Mr.Klingenberg (former Anantara hotel, Chiang Saen) from Muse hotel showed me around the hotel, Medici restaurant, when we accidentally ran into each other.
The Siam Hotel will most likely be opened mid of June 2012 and the Central Embassy mall / Park Hyatt hotel might be finished around end of 2013.
The new shopping mall Terminal 21, next to Sheraton hotel Sukhumvit, got an interesting airport theme.
I met plenty of cool characters and there are lots of things to report about – if I only had more time…

Global Nanpa’s Top 25 videos : 2011

The site is now inactive until sometime early next year. There is so much stuff now going on at home that I will be glad to stop running this hobby for a longer while. I also don’t see a chance to make bigger releases between the breaks because I am just damn busy, 70 hours per week outside of Global Nanpa are my norm. When I have a bit more time – like summer next year, you get the popular (girls…) stuff, so expect strong release delays.
My style and approach might change a bit from now on. I will be doing a lot of preventive measures on the new version site to avoid potential trouble. Further I decided to close all comments after the update – thanks to the haters and spam. More people get involved here now, before I was mostly doing everything myself on this site, but i hope it is worth it. I am also happy to continue working with Jakob next year for Global Nanpa. There is in addition some cool video stuff coming up from the home base Berlin summer next year. New destinations outside of Asia are as well on the itinerary for 2012.

Bang, Bang, Bangkok : The World Warrior

On the picture above you see some guys I met along the way. The nickname of the US guy on the right is “Rambo”, looking at his body I think that fits. The difference between him and the movie Rambo is that he is smart. He accompanied me afterwards and we had a smashing time.
The guy on the left is German and there is another German not visible in the picture part of that team.

I met some ladyboy faces again, you already know from 2 previous ladyboy interviews. It is always a lot fun to chat with them. Somehow the ladyboys often have a lot more to say than most bargirls do.

Some Tequila girls at Soi Cowboy. I actually stopped drinking hard liquor more than a year ago. The next day is just lost when kicking that now. It is not worth it for me anymore, but watching the girls playing games with it is still fun as always.

Some friends from the Rainbow bars which I consider to have in general the highest amount of sexy girls at Nana Plaza.

Here is an “old” friend from Shark bar, Soi Cowboy. She is also part of the “Global Nanpa’s The Big Mango” video. The bargirls fucking love that video. I have it on my mobile phone along with a few other sample videos. Although I get lots of “clever scam”, hater messages and spam in the online world, in the real world the picture looks a little different : I get plenty of positive feedback for Global Nanpa there. People recognize me, stop for a moment, shake my hand and just say Hi. That’s true impact. I don’t need money from you, I have enough and continue making more. I like the idea of eventually helping changing trends within society. I cannot measure how many people booked their first, “newbie” flights to Thailand because of Global Nanpa, but whenever I go around, I am just shocked how many people already know the site/logo.

The tattoos of the ladyboys are mostly an eye-catcher. Their bodies are true art and fascinate me.

Here are some known faces again.

Baccara must be the most frequented go-go bar of Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza together. Sometimes I had difficulties with getting a seat at all. You must have a lot of luck or come very early if you want to have seating for more people like a group of 4 for example.

Here you see me together with a japanese guy fooling around.

In front of Tilac bar, Soi Cowboy.

The entrance of the beergarden, Sukhumvit Soi 7.

Some guy at Soi Cowboy kicking down drinks. Shock 39 and Insomnia are paying people like him to transport guests to their places. I am not exactly sure how much it is but I guess around THB 50 per person.

That guy is one of the brains behind Soi Cowboy.

A Soi Cowboy bargirl at a short-time room.

Alright, check out the video. So, enjoy one of my last public videos you can see for a longer break.

Sexy Thai bargirl @ Nana Plaza, Bangkok

C. is a fine, hot bargirl showing us around a little at Nana Plaza.

The picture on the wall of a short-time room must be one of the coolest I have seen so far worldwide among naughty rooms.

Climax, Ambassador hotel, Sukhumvit Soi 11, Bangkok : Fun chicks and great vibe

Climax is a fun, relaxed, down-to-earth, basement hotel disco place.

They were one of the first places in Bangkok that started with to remain open “after-hours”.

The video shows the cool vibe well. Try to have so much fun inside a go-go bar….
The girls there are often freelancing but they do it the Thai-style charming way, not as aggressive and focused like at Red Square, Jakarta for comparison. The girls I stayed with at Climax never asked me for money. Yes, it is possible to get that in the lower Sukhumvit area as well…

I am actually not such a big fan of live music and of popular hits like they play in the video, but because of the vibe and so many fun chicks+party-people around, I really don’t care about such little downer anymore. Climax is a great place, the best hotel disco of Bangkok from my point of view.

Funky Villa, Thonglor, Bangkok : May 2011

I was a bit lazy carrying around my assistant light. My camera alone doesn’t make me that flexible anymore and the lighting in addition was just often too much to bare for me. Sorry for the dark shots but sometimes I like to enjoy a few things also without my camera stuff.

Funky Villa is a very unique place in Bangkok. It is the only place at the moment that is able to bring them all together. They score on diversity : you see sexy people, ugly people, rich people, poor people, stylish people, etc…

Everyone knows that they are the undisputed #1 of Bangkok’s nightlife sector and they know it too. They don’t charge entrance fees but the beer and alcoholic beverages prices are very high for most Thai people. It is also one of the only places where they request passport copies for foreigners at the entrance. At least in Bangkok you don’t run into any passport scam shit like taxi drivers are currently pulling it ugly at a few clubs in Jakarta.

I would wish that the main room would play not so much mainstream music but only that way you can draw such crowds. Demo next to it was also always packed now when I went there. Nung and Boy established here an extremely successful and trend-setting club. Congratulations.

Sanook bar, the tunnel, alley between Sukhumvit Soi 5 and 7

Sanook bar is one of my all-time favorite casual beer bars across whole South East Asia.

People don’t go there for the girls, they go there for having some hassle-free fun. It is a small place, but got a great atmosphere. There is no better word than “sanook” to express the cheerful, friendly spirit of the Thais, the ultimate strenghts of the country.

I have never seen a bar that I would call as multi-national as that place, you get an impression of it inside the video. The bar is owned by a Belgium guy, you see him in the end of my Bloody Pussy Rampage video. In that video you see an Iranian-American guy who is running the place when the Belgium owner is at home.

Tar tried to teach me writing a few words in Thai. It was nice of her but when getting drunk too often, the timing for studying languages is not the best. Maybe next time a little more…
On Soi 5 and 7 you see more and more black dudes which I appreciate. I always got along well with black dudes in the past. They are not fake and mostly stick to their word.

So, being at Sanook bar, having a Singha and eating a Tom Yam Goong : I really don’t need more to be happy…

Pattaya Pussy Galore 2011

Pattaya was a good time again. The girls in majority aren’t the prettiest, but you get some easy, down-to-earth fun delivered without any hassles.

The girls in Pattaya are excellent entertainers, it hardly gets boring. But don’t expect to have serious chats with them, better keep that with your buddies.

I met A. again you know from the previous trip, not because I think she is pretty, but I simply had a good time with her and things worked well again. Moreover she knows Pattaya well. There are so many girls who only know the way to their bar and that’s it. It is rather rare to find someone there who has a bit higher expectations for herself. Moreover after a few years of working there, they lose all understanding for the real world and would dress in super short pants and high heels when going to Bangkok. It can get really embarrasing and ridiculous with some of those girls. That’s why I would rather not go travelling with the majority of the Pattaya girls. Their planning and organization skills are mostly poor, chaos is guaranteed if you want to plan something with them.

The funny thing is also that most Pattaya girls figure out later after having travelled a little with a few customers that they like it most in Pattaya anyway. It is just a very convenient world.

A. told me an interesting thought : She looked at some of the lady go-go bars in Bangkok and compared them with the ones in Pattaya. And she prefers working in Pattaya. She might be making more money in Bangkok but she considers the “work-life-balance” to be better in Pattaya. The bars on Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza are mostly totally full with girls, there is not much room left, moreover the girls don’t chat that much with each other and the hardcore vibe is just stronger sensed among the girls there. In Pattaya you rarely see more than 10-15 girls inside a go-go and friendships among them tend to be stronger it seems. They are chatting more, are more playful, often really looking for a good time. That’s a major plus for Pattaya compared with Bangkok. Bangkok is lacking that vacation-beach-type resort feeling.

A.’s first job was with Sony Thailand, and not in sales – in the technical device factory. She got some rare technical skills… She was making THB 50k on an entry-level there right away, more money than most bargirls make.
After around 1 year she decided to leave the company because one of her jealous colleagues tried to give her a hard time. She regrets that decision now but at least she got a good plan and saves up all her money for buying an apartment in Pattaya.

She had an italian boyfriend afterwards before she starting working in a bar, an expat in Bangkok who sponsored her with THB 100k per month. This is the highest sponsorship rate I ever heard of in South East Asia. The “going-rate” for sponsors (assuming to take her out of the bar) in Thailand is around THB 20k / month.
The story with the Italian boyfriend might be true, he is distributing wine in Thailand and seems to be doing well with it. He might considered her as his little, private play-doll he wanted to keep in addition. But it was a mistake of him lieing to her and not playing with open cards. When she figured out after more than a year that he regularly visits the gogo-bars and barfines ladies, she quit the relation.

To make him jealous and for revenge, she started working at his prefered bar. That really pissed him off. It is just not wise to lie to the girls and giving them wrong beliefs. Once they invested a lot time and money into a fake dream, boy, you better watch out of the furious reactions…

I myself start to become a bit jaded and more hardcore, I absolutely prefer taking girls short-time, in Bangkok I rarely let a girl enter my real hotel room. It just might cause future trouble and painful emotional reactions. It cannot work anyway, so better keep distance and your guard up. I can control it pretty well now.

I wasn’t a hard party guy that time in Pattaya. I used a few days to recover and concentrated my energy on other places. After a few weeks non-stop action without much sleep and lots of alcohol, I just burn out now and need to take breaks before in between.
In the beginning money was my limitation – not anymore. Then time was my limitation – not anymore. It seems that only energy became my final obstacle and the older I get, the less I will have of it.
I start to get really excited about peaceful, harmonic, luxury escapes in Thailand. I get tired of the same shit all the time. A few things are in the change for me and coming up to be watched.

Pattaya now appears really small to me. The city is easy to handle, Bangkok is just huge in comparison and much more diverse.

A. introduced me to some of her friends. It was interesting to see how she and other girls are living. It is like a huge dorm. The girls don’t give each other much privacy. It is nice if you want to have some fun, but it can also get annoying. The girls also borrow money from each other. The prettier ones often are supporting others as well even if they know they never get the money back. A few of the girls have established a super-clever network of sponsors+customers : Getting customers from gogos, bars and discos, developing some of them into sponsors, maintaining relations over Facebook and arranging travel trips with sponsors within Thailand. If done well, the party never stops for these girls…

Don’t worry about the tablets you see in the end, it is not as exciting as it looks : just some ibuprofen.

Alright, check out the video :

Cozy beach, Pratumnak Soi 5, Pattaya

This beach is located between Pattaya city beach and Jomtien in the south. You have to drive into Pratumnak Soi 5 to get there.

The beach is the best in Pattaya and it is more quiet and relaxed. I especially love the trees around. Not so many people are there because the location is a bit more isolated. Thanks A. for introducing me to this place :

Soi Buakhao food market, Pattaya

Soi Buakhao is an interesting street. Here you also find one of the best food markets for end customers around central Pattaya.

The Thai food in Pattaya is really good, even slightly cheaper than what you would pay in Bangkok and the quality isn’t that worse. Pattaya has just an insane price/value, not only in terms of accomodation but also in terms of eating/food.
