Just So You Know
When visiting Thailand, Bangkok or Pattaya, there are many new and exciting experiences to be had. It is also not uncommon to have a few bad experiences as well. Whether someone has a good or bad experience will be determined by a lot of factors and also, if you believe in such a thing, a bit of good luck or bad luck. In this blog we will be recalling some of our good and bad experiences when visiting Living Dolls Agogo. This blog is our own personal experience, others may have similar, or different experiences.
Living Dolls Experience
By GoGoHopping.com
First Things First
Before we start, it should be noted that this was not my first visit to Living Dolls Agogo. This was in fact my second visit to Living Dolls, having visited for the first time, on my first trip to Thailand, in 2012. Check out my blog on my first visit to Living Dolls here.. Coming soon.
Spoiler Alert! My first visit to to Living Dolls was also a bad experience. This was a disappointment me for me, having long been a follower of Living Dolls social media and impressed by the quality of their lineup shown on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Having had a bad experience on my first visit to Living Dolls, it was another five years before I built up the desire to visit again. Although the bad experience was still fresh in my mind several years later, I chalked it down to "Newbie bad luck" and had long be considering a second visit to see if my luck faired better on the second visit.

Second Time the Charm?
Moving forward now to 2017, it had been five years since my first visit to Living Dolls. However, I was still seeing many beautiful pictures of the Livingdolls Showcase girls appearing on my social media feed and I was keen to go there to take some pictures for GoGoHopping.com. I had arranged to meet the manager and headed to Livingdolls Showcase to talk to him about taking some pictures.

First Meeting
On arriving I spoke the manager. The conversation was brief and frank. What was said in the conversation would be best to remain private but perhaps I should have paid more attention to some of the red flags that were popping up.
As well as speaking to the manager, I was hoping, based on all the social media pictures of the beautiful Living Dolls staff, that if there was a girl that caught my eye, that I could have a few drinks with the girl and barfine her back to my hotel. As usual, I didn't want to rush my decision to pick a girl to call over and took my time to have a look at all the girls on stage. I saw there were many beautiful dancers and two in particular. I asked the bar staff to call one over for me. She was stunning! Very small and thin, just the way I like them. This was of course, my first meeting with First.
Keen to impress, newbie mistake or just my bad habit, I bought her many drinks and drinks for myself. She told me that today was her birthday and that after being barfined she would like to go to another gogo bar to meet her friends to celebrate a little. I was reluctant to accept her idea as I worried she was expecting me to pay for her and her friends to have a party and drive up a huge bill. she saw this in my facial expressions and told me that she would pay for any drinks that she bought her friends and that I didn't need to worry about it.

Party Pooper
Now time to leave, we went to a nearby gogo bar. The staff working there all knew First and also, all knew it was her birthday. They brought her a cake and several girls bought drinks for her. She also bought drinks for the girls. True to her word, she did pay for the drinks that she bought the girls in the bar. I had been worried ever since entering her friends' gogo bar that First thought I was a bit wet behind the ears and was planning to trick me into running up a huge bill that she would expect me to pay. This suspicion at the time was clear on my face and looking back, I may have soured the mood and celebrations of First's birthday with her friends and I regret it a little.
Now leaving the second agogo bar, we headed to another gogo bar to meet some more friends of First. I was getting even more moody now and was also antsy. I really just wanted to go back to the hotel wasn't interested in celebrating First's birthday with her friends. It was also clear now that she and her friends were all gay or at least Bi-sexual. Whilst we were out drinking I had noticed that she had sent a few text messages to her tomboy girlfriend and, from some of the messages I has seen, it looked like they were fighting.
First Stretching Out

Short-Time-Long-Time
Cutting the celebrations short, it was clear to First that I wasn't interested in partying all night with her and her friends. Sorry to be a party pooper. Heading back to the hotel she was using her cellphone more and more but I was just ignoring the fact. I told myself that I was only interested in one thing. However, arriving at the hotel there was now no excitement for the deed and the atmosphere was not the fun and friendly one that we had at the start of the night. This was perhaps my fault for being so up-tight, worried about being scammed, running up huge bills in her friends' agogos and not going with the flow. Perhaps the night could have been a great night to remember had I relaxed a little instead of having my guard up the whole time.
We got down to what was suppose to be the fun part, but as mentioned earlier, the fun atmosphere had been progressively sucked from the night, gogo bar after agogo bar. Sparing some details, First seemed that she wasn't enjoying the time and was making noises as if hurting. I wasn't enjoying myself either and just decided to stop, stating that I wasn't enjoying it. Afterwards she was immediately back on her phone and texting. Soon, she told me that she had to leave and would come back later. However, I had agreed to barfine her "long-time" and I was reluctant for her to leave after only an 1 hour at most. Again, I was thinking that she was trying to trick or cheat me.
However, I was not enjoying my time so far. I was considering telling her that I would only pay her half of the agreed 5000 baht long-time fee, and that I would give her the rest when she returned. However, I was no longer interested in her and just gave her the full amount. She left and I went to sleep. Hence the heading I chose for this section "Short-time Long-time". After a few hours of sleep, she called on my mobile phone and said that she had finished was she needed to do and asked if I wanted her to come back or not. I was unhappy with the whole experience and just said "up to you" in an uninterested voice. She never came back.

Just So You Know
Wrap Up
Overall, at the time, I felt this was an expensive and unsatisfactory experience considering I spent more than 10,000 baht that night on drinks bills, barfines and a terrible long-time. Looking back, I feel that my bad experience on this occasion was mostly down to my own fault for being overly worried about being scammed. After my first bad experience with Living Dolls staff, I had expected much of the same. However, one bad experience in an agogo bar doesn't mean that every experience will be a bad one. Although the night, and my first meeting with First, didn't end well, we were later in contact a number of times and we were able to arrange an Official GoGoHopping photoshoot ..here ..that ended on much better terms.
