Four Seasons hotel Bangkok : “Home, sweet home”

The first accomodation I ever stayed at in Thailand was in summer 2005, shortly after the tsunami December 2004, at Club Bamboo Phuket, a charming small boutique resort. I only had to pay a tiny rate per day for a sweet bungalow on a quiet hill close to Patong beach.
Hotel staff seemed to know some of my preferences and was calling me by my first name already on the second day. The Thai hospitality I experienced in general was extraordinary.
There I truely recognized for the first time how far your money/buying power can go in South East Asia. The luxury you can afford is remarkable : It is buying power heaven ! A buying power price index for a European is about : in Thailand 4 times what you could afford in your own country, in Indonesia it is about 5 times and in the Philippines I would say you have to multiply everything with 6 to get to German price levels.
One thing is for certain : you can also have the same fun travelling around in SEA not being on the far luxury end. A decent budget is required however if you want to avoid uncomfortable situations. Like I often said before : I would rather decrease the time frame of travels than reducing a minimum daily budget. I often also include budget hotels in my video guides because a stay there can be a positive and different experience as well.

I look very stupid on this pic but the pool guard is just a true character and damn funny somehow. He doesn’t speak much English but he is a helpful and friendly person who takes his job serious. The staff at Four Seasons appears to be pretty constant. I love to see the same faces when returning to a prefered hotel. First, people/staff feel familiar, second they know you already and your preferences. Moreover I see no point in tipping staff well when being unsure if you return or if you see the person again. Tipping I mostly see as an investment for optaining future privileges : it only makes sense with a constant staff.

fourseasons_hotel_bangkok_globalnanpa

The area of the whole hotel is actually quite large. I underestimated it at first, later when doing more comparisons, I learned to appreciate the rich diversity of the hotel’s facilities and places.

executive_lounge_fourseasons_bangkok_globalnanpa

The executive lounge is not spectacular but nice. I met some open-minded and talkative guests there. Breakfast I often don’t eat because of my late nights but I tried it there once and had a surprising fun chat. I mostly really like their guests I chatted with so far.

ultimate_bangkok_suite_2_fourseasons_hotel_globalnanpa

This room is really the bomb. Maybe it isn’t as flashy as the one I had at Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, but I like it MUCH more. It got charms and a warm atmosphere. One afternoon I was just lieing on the sofa, and looking through some of their large picture books and sometimes watching the skytrain passing from the window.

workdesk_fourseasons_hotel_bangkok_globalnanpa

Moreover this room totally centers the working desk which is great. Well, I guess I am a workoholic. My SEA trips aren’t “vacation” anymore. When not getting fried my ass in Germany 24/7, I got so pervertic to build up some projects in SEA which will keep me busy. 2011 will get big. It got more difficult for me to enjoy massages when the adrenaline is constantly kicking in. Short-time this won’t be the road to happiness, but long-term it is the right path to walk on. The crazy some of  the stuff might look you see in my videos, it is all part of a plan honestly speaking, since a long time ago already actually…

Cipto Magunkusomo hospital, University of Indonesia, Jakarta

Here is a video walk through Cipto Magunkusomo hospital which is part of the University of Indonesia. Sadly I was shooting on manual focus and didn’t recognize it before the next day. This just shows again how wasted I sometimes was. Although I saw some cute and smiling MDs crossing my way there, I had a different mission and didn’t try any kind of nanpa action.

On the picture below is Steve, one of my very best friends. He was my direct supervisor in the lab at MIT back in 2002. Damn, time is passing fast…

Funky Villa, Thong Lo; St. Moritz, Sukhumvit Soi 11 and the updated Bar/Club guide Bangkok

So here are more videos of 2 heavyweight champions for the updated Bar/Club guide Bangkok :

http://www.globalnanpa.com/blog/?p=30

Funky Villa is currently without doubt, the hippest and most talked club in town. The reason is simple : They are a magnet for sexy chicks and have an excellent location. The music taste of Thais is sometimes not my thing though, I am more an Indonesian music listener. At Club Demo which is located just next to it they play more independent stuff but it is sadly a lot less popular. The owner is super-successful with this place, lives a lavish lifestyle and drives a white Lamborghini. Respect. The only way to get my business respect is to create something original, to work hard on it and to leave an impact in the end. That criteria got fulfilled by the Funky Villa and the St. Moritz owner as well who is an incredible friendly guy furthermore as well, Vann (Bangkok Electro) surprisingly turned out to be a good friend of him which I didn’t know before. Funky Villa and St. Moritz are 2 of the most innovative forces shaping Bangkok’s world-celebrated nightlife business.

I am not impressed of people who inherited the money (like more than 90% of the cases) and also not impressed of people who only speculated with money (hedge funds, etc.), creating nothing in the end. Private Equity and Venture capital I am fine with because the people stick for a longer period of time with a company and help improving it, so real value is created.

The cat of Matcha japanese green tea is really sweet. I also love the lighting of the trees in this area.

TIGHT PUSSY ALARM trilogy : Angeles City - the real Sin City (part 3 of 3)

So here is the final part of the trilogy. The impact of the first 2 parts can already be felt. The CNN (Ted Turner’s mind fuck channel) was already jumping on the train, letting us know that the Filipina girls shall be no tourist attraction. The best comment on that can be read on Jimmy Regina’s page or on PlatNight. Guys don’t forget the big picture. This is much deeper than most think. We are in war here for the truth. You have any idea what will happen when hords of “normal” US guys start to explore Angeles City ? Moreover what happens when they find out about the HIV lie ? The mind-fuck bubble will burst sooner than you could fuck another thousand pussies…

The USA is very concerned about their people flying out to the Philippines, keeping their soldiers under control there is already enough of a difficult task. So the CNN likes to intervene there. Britain and Australia are very concerned about their high number of people flying out to Thailand, that’s why you had to see that “Big trouble in Thailand” manipulated piece of shit documentary. The guy who shot it, Gavin H., is probably not welcome anymore to visit the country, the Thai Tourism Authority smiling when blacklisting him. Sad chap, but he is just a scapegoat anyway. It was the mind-fuck machinery of Virgin Media (Richard Branson), British Sky Broadcasting (Murdoch) and BBC (British brain washing cooperation) that was active there. Man, Murdoch should rather bring out an episode of his own fucked up life : having had the most expensive divorce in history and now staying together with a career greedy chinese -let’s call her-girl. That guy is miserable, willing to accept that just to have company and to keep face of the matrix. Poor billionaires… The only billionaire out there that I screened and find interesting is Marc Faber because he was clever enough to enjoy his wealth in Chiang Mai. Not the smartest move maybe was to get married with a Thai, but from what I heard, he frequents “lady bars” from time to time like Linda’s bar. At least he is not pretending not doing it… Finally a billionaire with courage !

subic_bargirl_globalnanpa

Above you see a shot of a former Atlantis showgirl at Subic beach. It really wasn’t worth taking the time to go there, I didn’t like the beach at all. No comparison with Boracay. I guess Puerto Galera is not worth seeing then as well. Only Cebu looks like something I might check out someday as well. But at the moment I continue sticking with Angeles City and Boracay. Manila doesn’t attract me, Jakarta and Bangkok are just way better.

On the first picture you see the young Mr. Lewis of the Lewis Grand hotel, currently the top hotel of AC in my eyes. He is extremely friendly, always sits around at the bar and restaurant and has time for chats with his guests. He is down to earth and smart, my personal favorite player in AC. Derek D., manager of the Dollhouse group is another figure who needs to be mentioned among players. To continue the list, Gerard of the ABC hotel scores with his ideas and connections, the manager of Margarita Station seems to be one of the most well informed person and Jimmy Regina is the king of porn and internet community there. I think that’s about it, a small circle. The real money maker is however the goverment there who profits most of the dynamic development of AC. The political situation there is still better than in Thailand. Interesting as well is that in general I would say that the expats in Philippines and Indonesia have proved to be a lot more helpful and cooperative than the ones I came across in Thailand so far.

Enough deep words, enjoy the 3rd part of the TIGHT PUSSY triology, exclusively on Vimeo :

Bang, Bang, Bangkok : Emmanuelle Arsan forever (Part 2 of 2)

In the picture above you see an 18-year-old bargirl rookie together with her mom at Soi Cowboy. My video this time has a broader focus on the bargirl scene, opening at Nana parking lot, the holy freelancer pilgrim of Sukhumvit.

bargirls_sukhumvit_bangkok_globalnanpa

The bargirls you see in the videos currently are at the top tier of Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy : the best ones like A. you see below currently make 100k Baht per month (she spent 80k Baht for a boob job recently), that doesn’t include money from sponsors and they don’t pay taxes. The best ones can fetch in 150k Baht/month (around 3300 Euros), the G-girls don’t make more, they are also much more dependent on sponsor money. Girls like those often disappear quickly from the bar-scene getting married from sponsors or moving abroad. Just for comparison : That’s a higher salary than Goldman Sachs or McKinsey analyst starters make after taxes without bonus, I crack myself up. Seems like an attractive career ? Certainly !

bargirl_dreamhotel_bkk_globalnanpa

That girl below has an incredible sweet appearance. I seem to have established a preference for hanging out with innocent and a bit crazy (ding-dong) bargirls, it never gets boring with them. Sex just comes along the way, but it is none of my priority interests anymore. It is just so abundant in that area….

Ok, my Angeles City trilogy videos, the Real Sin City, is coming up next and those videos are a true atom bomb for the system/matrix. This will blast the shit…

First however watch the second part of my “Emmanuelle Arsan forever” tribute. It uses the track “Bangkok” from Malente&Dex, Berlin Battery, for the label Exploited which got founded by my older brother. The track is since November in Germany’s Top 5 club charts, currently placing 4th down from 2nd. And remember : It all serves a good purpose - and here comes change…

Bang, Bang, Bangkok : Emmanuelle Arsan forever !

The time in Bangkok was smashing again. Bangkok simply is the place within SEA where I know my ways best and where i had been most often. Many things make it convenient to go for Bangkok. The girls within Thailand look best which is understandable because there they can expect most money. The hotels across whole Thailand are best, Chiang Mai I would rate second. The diversity of things you can do in Bangkok is huge. Accomodation is fantastic : From budget stays to super-luxurious and the best is that you get that for around a quarter of the price you would pay in most western countries. The service degree and friendliness of people is unique in SEA anyway and Bangkok is the easiest city to experience it.

emmanulle_arsan_globalnanpa

When coming out of the airport and noticing that tropical climate, you might feel home soon and can’t wait to return to walk through the doors into freedom again. It is a state of mind that makes it feel so special. Many things, political and economical are far from being good and it is not a great place to work at. But it is a superb place to enjoy, relax, explore and living your fantasies.

bkk_teen_massage_suksoi33_globalnanpa

The spa and massage parlors, dirty and non-dirty are the best in the world. Only Jakarta is able to compete in this league. The normal spa like Devarana spa, Potalai or Let’s Relax are simply out of this world. This degree of quality you only find at very rare spots in the world. In Thailand most people start to find out that they still have a body and that they are not pure mental beings. After working crazy for months, you really start to forget your body, I myself am currently in that rhythm again. I learned to indulge in SEA and work like non-exisiting in Germany. I simply figured out that this is the best option for me now. Time is flying anyway…

devarana_spa_globalnanpa

Although I know the fun I have / can have in cities like Bangkok, the experience didn’t screw my brain (which is rare) and I know what I have from my life in Germany. I would never endanger my base. I stick to simple rules and never expect too much. You cannot always win and cannot always have a great day everywhere. Cut your losses and leave a place once you don’t feel comfortable anymore. I did this on Koh Samui and left earlier than planned on the recent trip, not caring about prepaid hotels anymore. It is just not wise to enforce things.

short-time_room_bangkok_bargirl_globalnanpa

I also would recommend not to make too strict plans in general for SEA. Most people often do something completely else only shortly after arriving there which is cool, because they go with the flow.

I am personally still always dissapointed about Bangkok’s 2 am closing hours which makes nighlife start too early for my taste and things get rushed too fast into shorter time slots. Moreover for nightlife business, this is a real killer. People start to make crazy drink orders when they get drunk and that mostly won’t happen before midnight, so you have just 2 hours making a lot money in those euphoric states of customers. For me there would be no motivation at all to do bar/club/nightlife business with such existing laws/practiced bribes and overall political situation.

You might wonder why I actually rarely talk about the experiences with the girls. I simply think that this is just not interesting. Shall I write in what positions I fucked them ? I like the Bangkok girls, I would not go there so often if that would not be the case, right ? I enjoy the normal Soi Cowboy / Nana Plaza bargirl meat-market as well as massage parlors as well as G-Clubs and Uni girls. Bangkok has them all and things just come in front of your nose in a convenient way without too much hassle I think. One more interesting thing : I have now videos of all big red light districts across whole SEA. Only looking at the videos, you might say that the prettiest come from Jakarta and Bangkok. However what currently dazzles me is the vibe you feel in my raw, not manipulated, video material. I think the vibe on Fields Avenue, Angeles City is just unmatched at this point of time worldwide. I will release my “Thight Pussy Alarm trilogy” in February. I prefer to tell stories over videos/sounds and not with words.

Ok, check out the video, a tribute to the sexual liberation revolutionist Emmanuelle Arsan who had quite some impact in Bangkok - also have a look at the Emmanulle entertainment complex on Ratchadapisek :

globalnanpa_all_coyote_rca_808

Dear friends,

I want to thank everyone for making this fun and unique event possible. Especially I want to thank the main organizers Chokchai and Chompoo (taking a flight to Singapore 7am today and sacrificing her sleep for me !), DJ Team Bangkok Electro (sad news about the death of DJ Aof’s grandmom today, so sorry), the Indonesian designers Hirwin + team, the sexy and professional behaving coyote entertainers, the security team, 808 service staff and of course the friendly and inspiring guests who came along to check out an unknown, fresh party concept.

bangkok_party_preparation_globananpa_1

bangkok_party_preperation_globananpa_2

We didn’t had many guests, but the goal of the party was reached to explain and show Bangkok people the concept and style of Global Nanpa, to start branding it there. Moreover we proved that we are able to bring together creative minds all over the world, establishing a network for shaping the future in an intelligent, positive way. This party had some impact and two interesting and very different calls came in shortly after finishing at 2am (yes, we did respect the police rules). A large Thai TV channel and fashion series asked me for my some of video material but I like to edit it till christmas at least myself, so the featuring might take a bit more time and I am unsure If I like that at all. I am very careful with not burning the image of Global Nanpa for the wrong stuff, so we will see how things develop there…Like I said before : I am mainly interested in impact and not traffic or quick money…

chompoo_rca_globalnanpa_808

We made some of the big Bangkok club owners who shortly dropped by at the party quite mad because they saw the power of the concept and we didn’t charge entrance fees. The most impressive scene of the party was probably when we walked the long RCA road with all coyote’s down from one club to the next and back to Club 808. That was an image ! LOL. I am looking forward converting that video material. Next time it would become a lot easier in Bangkok to bring across that party concept again once those news and the video are spreading.

sweet_coyote_globalnanpa_808

Beforehand I already got threatened via Email to get sabotaged at this party, so our security got warned but nothing happened. My last party try at Club Noir got cracked down by some mafia guys and there were bookings of 2 different party organizers made for the same slot ?! I got the same warnings from some jealous Bangkok bloggers but when you see those people in real life, and yes I know your faces, it mostly turns out that they are just keyboard warriors who don’t get anything done in real life, toiling their lives away as low paid expats in Bangkok. Sad species..

coyote_promo_globananpa_rca

The next Global Nanpa event will happen 2010 in Jakarta most likely. We have big plans for Jakarta. Jakarta, the big durian, shall actually become my base for future SEA travels. I see a lot of creative energy there, opportunities in many business fields, very unexplored territory and an immense lack of information coming from that place ! Bangkok and Thailand is full of people overflooding us with info and travel activities - not so in Indonesia, they don’t even have a single, cool and English written blog I know of yet ! Indonesia is also politically quite stable now, we hope for big changes. The Philippines has too many unsolved problems like transportation and safety issues. Travelling is really stressful for me there : Manila airport is my worst nightmare ! Moreover I figured out for myself that I am actually not such a beach person, I am a city guy feeling comfortable in real shoes and jeans with pockets.

Also many thanks to my German tax lawyer/advisor with whom I met up two days ago in Bangkok. I showed him Wat Phra Kaew, we had a cocktail at Vertigo bar during sunset at Banyan Tree hotel and later some good steaks there. Afterwards we walked from the hotel to Suan Lum night market and drove back with Tuk-Tuks to the Oriental hotel for a final cocktail. I might hopefully be able to tax-deduct my future travels from 2010 on. A very pleasent meeting and also brought me back down to earth seeing friends from Germany on “Mars” again.

coyote_promo_globalnanpa_rca_2

On Thursday, Nov.26th, everything seemed to have worked out for me. I also finally was able to chat for almost an hour with Ms. Prof. Dr. Boonsri, director of innovations, pharmaceutical sciences, Chulalongkorn University. Thanks to her undergraduate students for bringing me as a group to her, they all were so extremely helpful and Ms. Dr. Boonsri is a very friendly, calm and smart scientist, as well as teacher. She came late to teaching her own class for that longer chat. I do respect and honor that a lot. This would have never been possible in my own country, Germany. Most people try to set up obstacles there and a lot of beaurocracy for creative and dynamic entrepreneurs is often being set up to break your spirit for change, especially in the shark pool, the healthcare sector. Moreover everything in the western world is so strongly based on competition that nobody wants to help you if they fear that you might endanger their own position or might get a larger piece of the cake than themselves. In SEA there is no such conflict of interest, that’s why things work out so quickly and easily for me here i guess. Now we established a first contact and who knows what will develop out of this network in the next 5 years….

bangkok_electro_dj_team_globalnanpa_party

In the Philippines I tried something similar without having an appointment or any contacts : I went to the Angeles University Foundation and thought I could easily enter it, but no : They are actually technologically pretty advanced and without a chip card you won’t be able to enter that and there are security guards everywhere. I have never seen such an advanced safety system at a university, neither in the USA nor in Europe. Once entering through the entry with your chips, the monitors display your photo, personal profile and study area. I was impressed. So I had to make from the entry phone calls with security guards to enter it. 15 minutes later I was in : the next 2 hours I got introduced to about 4 people chatting always around more than 15 minutes with them. Finally I got introduced to the head of research and development (with no appointment !), Mr. Dr. Roberto Pagulayan, executive director, professor of Biology. It turned out that he spoke German because he got his Ph.D from Tuebingen in Biology. We spoke about Global Happy Pills and trying to figure out how we might be able to work together and share knowledge for it. Like in Thailand and Indonesia, once the network is established, things can move on pretty quick, when the right time has come. So it was just a first exchange of ideas. I am very curious how things develop there in the next 5 years. The herbal medicine field, which we are starting with herbal lifestyle drugs as a first money maker (think of the former tiny pharma generics maker in the 80s and how quickly they became big within only a decade without doing anything innovative…). This will be an extremely exciting and important project. Global Nanpa’s Happy Pills are a lot more advanced idea and concept than the lifestyle drink Red Bull (water+sugar+caffeine+b-vitamins+taurine) for example. They are just living from their marketing and brand. A few really smart and friendly individuals have now showed interest in possible future cooperations. The global network is getting tighter. At the very top the circle of players is not that big anymore and most people know each other over friends.

Regarding hospitality I met up with general manager Rainer Stampfer, Four Seasons Bangkok, and we had an interesting chat for about 45 minutes in the executive lounge there. We exchanged some disturbing insider info, one of it really did shock me a lot and explained something I was always wondering about. This cannot be written here, as well as some of the talks I had at Thammasat University, likewise the info I gave him in exchange about something I found out in the Philippines.

Booking rates of all major hotels across Thailand are in general around 25% below last year, but the situation is stabilizing and Thailand is recovering. Currently it is more the financial crisis problem and not a political one. Imagine what will happen when the king dies, which could happen every day considering his health condition. At Thammasat University they are already in big time preparation mode for December 6th, the king’s birthday. Thailand will have an immense political stability problem once the king dies. Let’s just hope that it won’t happen so soon. I myself finally decided not to fly with Thai Airways / Lufthansa internationally anymore. Enough is enough, I will return my frequent flyer Miles and More card to Lufthansa and switch preferable to Qatar Airways or Emirates although the connection times won’t be that ideal anymore for getting into SEA, but I am now finally willing to make that sacrifice. I stick to my principles and the service and unfriendliness I just experienced again, especially with Lufthansa Germany ground staff finally marks the end of my relation to those two allianced flight companies.

I also talked with a few other German general hotel managers. It seems like the German’s are mostly the organization talents and commanders all across Asia. I rigorously checked out the new Shangri-la Boracay and got amazed of the extremely friendly staff there (Hi Mae and Spar - turned out we both know the embassy club owner at the Fort and had some super-funny talks about ladyboys there… !). It is one of the most beautiful resorts I ever saw in my life, it is brand-new too and has a very different standard than what you are used to from other Shangri-la’s - this one ranks more in the class of an Aman resort or Four Seasons. Unfortunately Boracay had been a very stressfull experience and I got an oyster food poisoning there again (like 2 years before !), getting 6 hours IV injections afterwards and being deaf on one ear for almost 2 days.

Mr. Goessing, manager of the famous Oriental Hotel Bangkok is since 6 months now as well in Thailand  and he is “of course” a German again, replacing a retired German manager. After staying there 3 days and checking-out, he surprisingly came up to me for about 20 minutes and we exchanged business contact info. He is not at all as conservative as I thought at first. He is easy to talk to just like the older lady, I think the No.2 of the hotel with whom I spoke more often. Mr. Goessing told me that billionaire Mr. Mateschitz will be coming soon to Thailand and staying at his hotel. He is one of the two founding members of Red Bull, the Thai founder Chaleo had the original idea and owned 51%, the Austrian Mateschitz the rest 49%, both invested USD 0.5 million at the start in 1987. Mateschitz is a marketing genius but he didn’t came up with anything innovative. Everyone I talked to in Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines certainly enjoy the idea of Global Happy Pills a lot more. This motivates, you can bet !

organizers_bangkok_party_808_rca

Sometimes strange things happen in life : At the G-club the Pent, I met the managing director of Osram Thailand (part of Siemens), I think it is Germany’s largest lighting company. It turned out he is in touch with Ms. Fleur M. every second week or so. She had been my very first girl-friend in Germany during high school times and now works for the same company in marketing in Munich. Sometimes the world is small and the circle closes again…

The entire 5 weeks trip, the memories and experiences will shape my life immensely. There are so many stories to tell about Thailand and the Philippines. As I will be extremely busy from Monday on in Berlin, I won’t be able to release any videos before christmas till new year’s time. I decided that for 2010 I will probably focus on only 3 spots : 4 weeks Jakarta, 4 weeks Bali and 4 weeks Bangkok. Jakarta shall become my base outside of Berlin, Germany, that’s the place where I see the most potential and that’s also the place where the next event will happen for Global Nanpa. I am really tired now and somehow happy to get back into my normal, certainly not “so stressfull” job on Monday again, just working my ass off 60 hours per week till end of the year. I am really glad to be able to do that right now, my energy reserves are empty for travelling.

Thanks again friends and stay in touch via email : info@globalnanpa.com

See you in heaven or on Mars !

Bang, Bang, Bangkok – Fuck for life and the Golden Path

Some major happenings occured for me in the past weeks.

Global Happy Pills, herbal lifestyle drugs, is a major project, still in early stage phase.
Watmasia is a Spa / Massage Parlor concept I started 3 years ago together with my ex-Thai girl-friend A., the one who is now married with that ex-SEA McKinsey (you guys are fantastic at reinventing the wheel) bullshitter. She opened 2 spas herself in Bahrain. I myself have the project still on freeze mode.

I was close to buy land in Ubud, Bali but canceled the deal shortly before because I didn’t feel legally enough protected even with founding a foreign investment company and an Indonesian partner. I worried I would get screwed in the intensive project when not being physically present all the time. In Thailand the situation is even worse.
I already got in touch with Bill Bensley, maybe one of the 5 coolest architects across whole Asia.
He surprisingly was replying to my request and showed interest. He resides in Bangkok, so maybe we get a chance to meet up later this year.
Bill Bensley did the Four Seasons designs in Bangkok and Tented camps Chiang Rai for example and plenty of other cool stuff.

bkk_faculty_pharmaceutical_sciences

Enough of business, let’s dive into Bangkok and the explanation of the video :
The city of angels has something for everyone to offer.
I pretty much like to stay now at Four Seasons, Rajadamri Road. It is close to Siam Square and in the centre of everything, you get easily to Sukhumvit too.

By chance I got to know a really inspiring person. She is half German, half Thai.
I am glad we only had dinner at To Die For restaurant and stay in touch as friends. She is no person for short-time fun, she ranks marriage caliber.
Her looks are more Thai, but her behavior is more German. She understands both worlds, eastern and western and we share plenty of similar views on life. She studied in Switzerland, had been working at quiet a lot of places and longs for more stability now in her life in Bangkok.
When you browse through the girls of Global Nanpa, you might say that she looks close to one of the least attractive ones. Maybe true, but she ranks highest on the trust scale which is much more difficult to find and that is a lot more important for friendships and relations.

A really interesting thing I figured out during my travels is that a few really smart people in the nightlife business and especially in the sex industry have very stable relations on their own. They make money with the short-time business and keep their private relation on the long-term scale. It makes sense. Imagine you are surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of sexy girls every day where you know that those girls are sticking their tongues into every next paying customers : you will get sick of the business. It was a real surprise for me to find out that some  big guys have wifes for a long time and those wifes often would not make the first round in any beauty peagent.
This all does not mean that I don’t feel attracted by beauty. The opposite is the case, I just want to explain that trust is something much more rare to find.
My friend Chokchai for example, manager of G-club Forte, is now since 3 years together with his girl-friend, who is very pretty by the way, and he is not butterflying. It is very determined by the job I guess. He someday will become a great boutique hotel owner.
This all sounds too negative : I really love the nightlife and entertainment with sexy girls involved. I only want to mention some aspects you mostly won’t read somewhere else.

So what about Soi Cowboy : It is fun for short-time – Baccara, Shark and Tilac still the best bars in my eyes. Nana Plaza remains quite dead, I did not check out any bar there last time.
Somehow my time in Bangkok was passing pretty fast and I wasn’t able to arrange much preplanned stuff. I also talked to people at Poseidon and Caesar’s , the luxury massage parlor buildings on Ratchadapisek. We made some calculations there together, especially interested in finding out a potential purchase value. All the existing numbers you currently can find in the internet about Poseidon are way wrong but this is nothing to be posted in public areas anyway.

Pharmacies I currently recommend in Bangkok are South East Pharmacy on Sukhumvit, close Sukhumvit Soi 15 and Dream Hotel. Also have a look at the smaller pharmacy Pharmacare Drug Store and ask for Eddie there. It is located at 236/5 Sukhumvit Soi 12.

I am closing with a citation of Leonardo di Caprio :
People don’t want heroes : what they want is to see you fall !

So check out the video and get your ass to Mars (South East Asia) :

The Odyssey of an ultra-horny Jakarta model on Bali

I had a smashing time with V. in Jakarta and even a better one on Bali. She is simply an incredible beautiful, horny, 176cm, 22-year-old Chinese-Indonesian model.

Her English wasn’t that good but thoughtful talks also weren’t on the agenda with her. Damn, I certainly lost some energy during the time with her. Seriously, who could resist such a body ?

I went with her around in Seminyak going to restaurants like Ryoshi, we spent a very good time in Ubud, checking out some sweet cafes like Pradha cafe, went to a nice traditional restaurant there and of course also visited the famous monkey forest where I had lots of good laughs.

She also joined me on the helicopter trip around Bali. We chose Air Bali and were really satisfied with the pilot and introduction. It is expensive but something you should consider doing at least once on Bali to get a better overview of the island. Afterwards you will see the island with different eyes and will have a lot more knowledge about the geography and spots.

The Australian pilot was cool, they are using a 2-engine machine. Later this year I will also check out the helicopter service of the ABC hotel in Angeles City, Philippines. The Raven they have only got 1 engine but the price is also significantly lower than on Bali.  Wayan Patra is the operations manager of Air Bali. Cool dude. Maybe Gerard would like to recruit that pilot - might be more reliable than having a local military-trained pilot ?!

Here is the 16 min video :

Bali : Island of the Gods – A tribute to K. and a journey beyond the infinite

In the pic above you see K. This picture I use as my laptop wallpaper background.
I was very lucky to meet her. It is funny that I am often meeting extremely interesting characters along my way who got special talents, a truely unique way of life and appearance.
We were having a really good flow together in Indonesia and things went along the easy way without making big buzz about anything.
I don’t feel like writing about too much personal stuff with her. I want to focus on video during my trip reports anyway.

There is one strange story I would like to tell :
It happened around the middle of my Bali time. Heavy partying, lots of sex, alcohol in extreme amounts and almost no sleep brought my body to its limits again.
I once got an in-room villa 2 hours massage from a Le Jardin massage therapist.
After a while I must had been so relaxed that I fell into a deep sleep, picture/video material of the past days flashing through my sub-conscious. After around 1 hour, when it was time to turn around, she noticed that I didn’t move anymore and she could not wake me up. She brought another guy from the staff but they didn’t manage it as well. Luckily K. arrived around that time at the villas.
Around that time, it was like my mind was leaving my body (no, i wasn’t on drugs !) and I saw myself from an upper angle of the room lieing on the bed and 3 people including K. standing around me.
I felt like in the end scene of Kubrick’s A Space Odyssey after Dave flies with his spaceship through an infinite tunnel of colored light and afterwards finds himself in a surreal bedroom. Similar as Dave repeatedly saw older versions of himself, I was like captured in a time tunnel of strong emotional memories pounding in vast speed inside of my inner eye video screen.
It was totally striking and I was completely shocked when K. “brought me back“ into the real world. It was a very special feeling hugging her that moment, her calm heart-beat bringing down my pulse. It was like I made a journey from my childhood, to present into future happenings. Scary stuff…

I doubt again that this video will become popular but I don’t care. For me personally it is my most important one so far.
I am more and more turning my blog into this direction.

So here is the video. Thanks K., see you in heaven soon :
