Q: going to Thailand, any concerns ?
I checked Canadian government, they have all sorts of warnings up for Thailand, Should I worry or what do I have to watch out for? Do i need to bring an AK 47 or will hand guns be enough? Hand grenades? Sorry i asked seriously.
12 years 29 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
careful of the lady boys after a heavy night on the drink. The serious side of Thailand is mainly gov protests which can get nasty and the flooding at the moment. Should be fine but keep alert to whats happening outside
Take your own condoms...
apart from the time they closed the airport i dont think travelers have been majorly affected. Plus most of the trouble happened in bangkok, there are alot of other cool places in Thailand. also I think the floods have all been cleared up.
Like any different place, you need to be careful. Many of the ladies were not born ladies, some will try to take your $$. They have the same scams that we have here in China and probably some "new" scams that we dont have.
There are the many scams, and seems like recently there have been some bombings there.
Watch what you drink, where you go and with whom you spend the night.
Look up and see if the have an equivalent of this website, a Thai version of "E-Thailandcities" or some such...?
This in addition to the standard: look both ways before crossing the street, eat your veggies and wear clean underwear!
Have fun!
Don't do anything illegal, they throw the book at you when they sentence people.
Get out of Bangkok ASAP! Bangkok is great if you're looking for whores or ladyboys (or both) but the south of Thailand and the islands are beautiful. Bangkok cant be seen in a day or two, but the rest of the country is where you should concentrate on. I forgot the names, but theres two islands worth going to, one is a main holiday destination off the west coast, the other is quieter and on the east. Both are alot cheaper cleaner and prettier than Bangkok.
Its worth spending one night in Bangkok (One night in Bangkok and the worlds your oyster) just for the muay thai. there are 2 arenas which have fights on alternate nights. After that leave Bangkok and dont look back.
MissA:
I think perhaps you mean Phuket (west) and Ko Samui (east), both of which are gorgeous.
I'm taking GF, so have to be good, maybe two days in Bangkok, I'd like to see Ayutthayak, then on to Phulet. I was planning to go later, but GF friends are going now, so we're going with them, they have friends in Phuket. I want a cottage by the beach, just sit and drink Mia Tias or beer for a week. It'd be nice if I found some buds.
thanks
crimochina:
why go to thai w/ the gf???? send her to a day spa to get some freedom.
GuilinRaf:
Oh man!
If you are taking the GF , then you would be better off going to Vietnam instead.
Ok, I agree with Crimo! Send her to one of those all day spa thinggies and head yourself to Phuket!
I wont say take pictures, becasue if GF finds them, you may lose something that you value very much!

I only sleep a couple of hours most nights, Chinese girls need 14 hours. I could sneak out, thanks for reminding me about camera. I'll take my backup one.. She came back from mothers and checked my camera to see where I've been and lucky no pics of other girls in my bed. This is a romantic get away,, yah wat ever,, she needs visa stickers, helps show she does not over stay, then apply for Canada and hide her. I wanna see Thai and make my own porno. I've been practicing my Tarzan yoodle, want to rent an elephant, lion and at least 20 Thai chicks to play Amazons. Pretty simple script, get drunk , Tarzan call , fall off elephant get captured by Amazons,, every boys dream,, right up until there is no happy ending.,, are they lazy like Chinese Hos, they wear out too fast.,,may need 25 Thai chicks.It's the end of tourist season , so hoping for a discount on quanity.
TedDBayer:
Raf, why Veit Nam,? other than to record a VN ho saying " I luv you long time" to me, didn't think there was anything else to do. i asked my GF to say that for my camera,, they no fun many many time.
GuilinRaf:
Why Vietnam? Cause it is closer to Guilin I guess. No reason in particular. Just pulled it out of my hat...
Wow! I like the idea of your movie! However, for the capture scene with the Amazons, I strongly suggest you hire a stunt double, like me, to take over. You know, keep the peace and harmony between you and the GF. In fact, I will even pay for my own flight AND hotel Stay!
Dang! What a generous soul am I!!!!!
TedDBayer:
Raf,,,,The Tarzan fantasy porn movie,, I have no Cheetah, you wear the costume, you can poon tang the cast. I told GF I want go for elephant ride and play Tarzan, I showed her Johnny Weissmuller clip, she no impressed, I tell het everybody in west know this call. Probably the most foreplay roll, toss her over the shoulder and go.ahahahaha, Tarzan Say: Popo matzo, Mangani! Shalom Alichiem, Ungawa!--had to google that and wasn't easy to find,, so I have the dialogue down. BTW I always thought the movie when Jane teaches Tarzan, the ''me Tarzan, you Jane'' would be fun for a ESL class.
TedDBayer:
BTW , can't google answer,, are Thai Hos less lazy that China Hos. 20 minutes they're done and not used to more than 3 inches
This depends how close you are in real life to your online persona here. If they are close or the same, God help you....
As far as the floods go, I was there during the floods and managed to avoid any hassles whatsoever by avoiding Bangkok. The north (mountains, culture) and the southern islands (beaches, bars) were fine. In any case, they're in the hot season not the rainy season now, the floods ought to be a distant memory.
The far south, near the Malaysian can be a trouble zone, and that's probably what many warnings refer to; also, when protests break out Bangkok is a very bad place to be. Just keep a quick eye daily on the Bangkok Post if you hear any rumours.
TedDBayer:
hhmm I'm funnier in real life, humour is hard to write. And all my old friends have lots of stories about me,,,
Walk around Bangkok wearing a suit and nobody will bother you...
MissA:
My BF said the same when we lived there: shirt and tie = no hassle; t-shirt = tout central!
TedDBayer:
I have 3 suits but not one for that heat. I don't know how anyone can wear a suit when its 30*. Maybe I can get a t shirt painted with a tie on it.
