I went to RCA once with my Thai girlfriend and her work colleagues. Obviously, I was with her so wasn't going for girls. It was Thai heavy and yes some good looking girls about. We went to Route 66 and as many have reported, it's just tight groups of Thais who stick to themselves and drink whisky while some very bad and loud music is blasted out that no one dances to. I can't see how I could do that place solo.
RCA girls loosen up a lot around 1 AM. Everyone is drunk and having a good time. That's when I get the most eye contact. Get a table outside, don't get one inside. It's too loud and crowded inside.
Girls at Route are very open to foreigners, but you gotta put in the approaches. Slowly walk around until you make some eye contact with a girl. Go up to her confidently and cheers her. Ask her "Poot pasa Thai dai mai kaap?" with a cheeky grin. You're asking her if she can speak Thai, which of course she can. Should get a laugh out of it. Easy opener. Picked it up from livingthai.org.
Try to get your table close to the walkway, or by the bathroom, or somewhere with heavy foot traffic so you have a lot of options as they walk by.
RCA isn't a cake walk, regardless of popular belief about Thailand. You have to put in some difficult table approaches and come with some decent game and style. Being a white guy with a pulse won't get it done like it will around Sukhumvit with the soi 4 Isaan girls.
I wouldn't do any Thai style club solo. It'd be no fun at all. If I was rolling solo I'd hit Levels on soi 11. Could also hit Insanity or Khaosan if you were rolling solo and wanted to have a good time. Lower quality girls, but a more fun party atmosphere.
EDIT:
Yes to both. I think LeightonBlackstock wants to do a forum meetup when he gets here. Maybe after the holidays or something.
