Soi Nana Nua - Little Africa
 

Just curious as I drove past here last Saturday and saw a really good looking young African. Anyone here been there and had any luck? My gaydar is probably not good enogh to identify versatile or passive ones but that would be my preference.;)

I am drooling for Africans at the moment..

Any pointers to contacts in Bkk?
Websites, emails, feel free to private me.

A LOT of hot Africans and arabs--it's amazing!

I tried walking around that area several times at night. The problem is it seems straight--and guys are with other guys and they seem straight (not gay-cruisable). It's like a straight bar/nightlife area, and the hot guys seem into that straight nightlife mode. I don't think one can successfully cruise there. The guys don't even seem to know you're cruising (they're in their own world with their friends). I would really love to meet someone from that area--a hot arab or African. Oddly, I was there one afternoon and a hot black guy said something to me about connecting--but I wasn't sure, and I had a lot of money on me (and didn't want to get set up). So maybe walk around there during the day and see what happens. Please post updates!

Twice in the last 12 months, I have been approached by Africans. Once near Sukhumvit Soi 11 and the second time in Siam Center. On both occasions, they probably noticed that I had been eyeing them, if ever so slightly.

They came up, smiled, said hello asked the usual "Where are you from" questions, as did I. And very deftly, on both occasions the guys turned the conversation to money. The first one spoke about himself needing it. They second one asked if I needed it.

On both occasions, my scam radar beeped, and whatever lust I had, was quickly banished. I guess someone better prepared than I was might have been able to carry on and further turn the conversation to money-for-sex, but I wasn't quick-witted enough so I just extricated myself.

Apart from having the highest HIV rate in the world, Africans are probably amongst the greatest scam merchants. I would be VERY cautious about Africans around Nana as they are not here for the sight-seeing. Don't expect Thai manners or ethics.

With all due respect (and I mean that sincerely), as a long time resident here in Thailand, I am not sure what you mean by "Thai manners of ethics" as compared to Africans.

Are you praising the assumption of many Thai guys that within three sentences of meeting you are expected to pay their rent? furnish them with new wardrobes? pay for the father's medical care? their grandparent's funeral?

I'll take a pass on this one!

racial profiling is alive and well. for the sake of convenience, you should assume that all of your sexual partners are hiv positive. only then, you'll never be tempted to take the risk of fucking bb.

Not racial - statistical. However I do assume 100% of partners are potentially positive, and make a point of emphasising that to any Thai boys who seem too casual. Life is too short .....

No, I mean their largely gracious appreciation of what-ever help you can give them, from a simple bowl of noodles to financial help when they are struggling to pay the rent. The "special assistance' ambit claims you refer to are just part of the thai /farang game. If you say no they still love you, sleep with you and care for you. "Duu lair khrub" is a phrase I often hear. You gotta love 'em, even when they are playing their games with you. I can afford to be taken for the odd ride - and I neither dislike nor resent them for it. The "phii -nong" structure exists between them and I've seen boys with very little giving their last 100 bt to younger friends without a thought for themselves. In truth they probably fail to understand that we , who have so much, winge so much about sharing our good fortune with our friends and lovers. None of us appreciate being ripped off, but I have to admit to receiving more in kind from 20 years of playing around here than I have given.

Is Little Africa area around Sukhumvit Soi 1 to Soi 3? I've also noticed a lot of arabs at night around Sukhumvit 21 (maybe tourists?). Also, does it spill over to the other side of Sukhumvit Rd.? Is it a combination of arab and African? I always thought it was really a Muslim thing--not so much a race thing--more like Sukhumvit Soi 3 area is little Islam. A lot of men in that area look young and very hot--almost like Bangkok attracts the hot ones.

If I met a nice hot black or arab, I would have no problem going with him. But my prejudice (and past experiences with blacks in the U.S.) says that blacks would be more likey to ask for money up front and not really perform, or talk about a price and not really perform--and many can't even get hard, or it takes forever to cum (if they can). But I've almost never had a bad experience with a black. My worst experiences (I don't want to go into detail) have been with young whites, and a very few hispanics. But a young black (U.S.) would be more likely to have a viscious, violently assaulting verbal reaction.

I couldn't agree more. I have to admit that I am being more than frugal, paying more than B1200 tip for a not-bad-happy-ending massage is too much but without blinking my eyes for a casual dinner over B2500 for two in Hong Kong.
