It is in the Windsor, Soi 20 I believe. Was pretty busy, just the right amount I'd say. I think Sundays are becoming my favorite night to go out. Less people and seems to be a good night to approach.
I wasn't planning on going out at all. Me and my friend went to get dinner at Paragon. Then we decided to stop at Oskar bar for a drink, then we got a few beers at a little corner bar. Next thing ya know I am getting home at 4:30AM and spent 1,500 baht lol.

Nice, yeah thats one thing I havent found yet, good hooker-free after-hours places. Will hit up Scratchdog.
Loving RCA at the weekends. It's really class, reminds me of a thai version of a Vegas club, lol. The only thing I hate is the tables/trolleys that fill up the places. No room for dancing, although seeing some thai girls attempt to, probably a good thing. They're definitely more suited to standing around looking hot.

Are you here too, Richie? We should all do a meetup. Soma is in town and I have met up with the_condutor. We should all meet up for some beers here soon.

That's a cheap night for me. I am routinely spending several thousand baht every time I go out, beers, whisky, mixers, taxis, club fees. Especially when I hit the after hour places and it's automatically 200baht a drink.
Where you staying Rio, what part of town and in an apartment or hotel? Also what happened when you guys hit up RCA at the weekend, tell us the story...

SafeHouse in Thong Lor / Ekkamai area might be what you're looking for, I didn't make it as planned last week as detailed earlier in the thread but it's in near the 'HiSo' places of Funky Villa, Demo, Sonic, Muse etc so can't see it being a pro place.

Where do you recommend at RCA? I don't know why but I always completely forget about RCA for a night out, last time I went was 3 years ago and it was Route 66 for a very short period of time to meet a girl and then take her home, didn't experience any of it. I agree with the thai girls dancing thing, mostly terrible. Even the table dancers at Soi Cowboy bars can't dance.

Just got into Bangkok today. Gonna use this thread as a semi blueprint. I don't do much gaming per se, but this seems like a good way to have a bit of guaranteed fun. Thanks for all the info.

I'm new to this forum, but you all seem legit so I'm going to save you all a lot of time and effort:
Go to RCA (Route, Slim, or occasionally a random other), buy a bottle, get a well-located table (tip the floor staff for this) and get to work, and if you strikeout go to Scratch Dog. SD is the ultimate fall-back. The other after-hours places usually have much higher working girls:girls ratios (note: even SD has LOTS of working girls, but generally also many non-working girls).
Best play is to game girls in the ~1-1.5 hours before the main clubs close, and then tell the girls you're not done partying and they should bounce with you to SD. Post venue-change they're in your group and it should be game over.
Things that will make your life easier: having a male Thai friend or two in your group, having a female Thai friend or two in your group, getting to know door staff and floor staff over time. Do all three.
For a tougher scene, do Thonglor for the first half of the night, but expect a tougher time as a foreigner at places like Muse, Funky, etc; not impossible though by any means. RCA just tends to have more girls willing to mingle with foreigners, especially at places like Route.
RCA is becoming increasingly popular with foreigners as the number of expats (especially young expats) has grown a lot in the last 3-4 years. This is good. However it means if you want to go out to places where being a foreigner may still be a bit of a novelty you have to hit places like Ratchada Soi 4, Ari, etc.
One more thing: places on Soi 11 are virtually never worth your time (excluding Bed sometimes and Nest - maybe Q if you're into that type of girl), and I wouldn't go in Spicy/Bossy/anywhere open past 6am if you paid me. Just never, ever any quality in these joints.

On my last trip to BKK I went to Spicy and it was a total whore fest, on arriving back here this time someone said it had changed and wasn't much of a pro place. I went and was amazed, it had been done up, the clientel had changed, there was no farang, no sex tourists, no pros and just normal thai people, mixed groups, thai guys, thai girls. I ended up back at a fairly well off girls condo, she drove me there in her BMW. Ever since I've been back there in the last few weeks it has not been like that at all and has been a full on sex tourist and pro club. I keep getting into bad situations going there but I can't stop partying at 2am when all the normal clubs in BKK close so I always end up here (then usually in Swing too) or in Climax. You do get 'normal' girls there, I've met a few and they won't go home with you that night and they are definitely few and far between but they exist. Unfortunately you also get these girls who are not bar girls, don't dress or act like pros, don't tell you they are wanting sex for money (and probably dont consider themself pros) and will even deny it when you ask but are actually freelancing. I've had a couple of shitty situations recently where I've made it clear to girls in Spicy I dont pay for sex and they should go find someone else if thats what they want and they totally deny it then when we get back to my place or in the morning they ask for money.

What would you guys say are the best clubs for dancing top40 in BKK?
Not a fan of the house music or places where girls are not dancing on a decent sized dance floor.

I spent a lot of time at Saxophone Pub. It was near my place, so a good place to take women too before going to my place. Music is also excellent. I was always with a date there, but I saw a lot of opportunities, especially at the bar, with Thai and Japanese/Korean women sitting alone or in pairs.
Other places were The Iron Fairies and the group of bars grouped around the where Mr. Jones's Orphanage, Thong Lor 15, seemed like there were opportunities if I had been alone.

Went to Snop in Ratchada on Friday night. A lot of talent roaming the club.

How did you do?
I went once 3 years ago and didn't do well. Found the girls overall didn't speak much English, and seemed uninterested.
I also didn't have the game level then that I have now, or know Thai culture very well, so take my striking out with a grain of salt.

You will always hear 1000 different opinions if a place is safe or not.
I personally always felt safe there and havent found a place in Asia that is not safe. On the other hand I do not know many Thais who would even go to Ratchada or similar places. The place not being safe, along of being a lower class area, are the two most common reasons.
You will get much more attention in these places as your novelty factor is higher. Foreign competition is unlikely and the local competition has smaller pockets and names then in most other clubs. On the other hand girls are less likely to speak English. And sure, you might get into trouble if "stealing" girls from the wrong men. But this can happen everywhere. Also be aware that these places used to be popular for underage kids (not sure if this is still the case though).

We went to Ratchada4 one Friday evening, went to the club called Zaleng since it's supposed to be the most popular one. In there it was not more than two groups. Checked out the other part of it too which is one the left side with sitting tables but it was also as good as empty and had the shitty Thai music. The other clubs in the area also seemed stoned dead. So I'm surprised that you guys found good parties there. We left for RCA instead.
