Everything Negotiable in Thailand
Just made another posting – sitting here bored so I thought I would pass on another story about all the prices in Thailand are negotiable. Many of the other contributors are always talking about what they got for what price. It is very good basic information for newbies. But understand these are only guidelines. The price is very flexible. Anyway story: I was in Phuket recently. It was about 11 pm-still early by mongering standards. Was with a friend and went into one of the small open bars on Bangler. Was really not in the mood to do anything. We both had decided to sit down and have a few beers to watch the people. Girl behind bar kept trying to start conversation. We kept blowing her off because just was not in mood to get into buying girl drinks that night. After awhile her happy infectious attitude got to the 2 of us and we told her come on around and we would buy her a drink. A few beers later her happiness finally infected us so I decided to ask if she wanted to go home for LT and if so what price. She responded bar fine and 100B. Needless to say my mouth dropped. Questioned her a little more to be sure if we were understanding each other correctly. She agreed 100B was enough. Asked why so little she replied hungary. Now I am talking about what I would consider a 7/10 on looks. So not some nastiness. Anyway took back to room and found her the most fulfilling pleasing thing I had my last 2 trips. Woke up the next morning and we went at it again. Now I know what you are thinking-must be some young stud. Wrong, I am in my late 50’s, over weight but nice personality. Anyway on with my story. I opened my wallet and pulled out the 100B we agreed on and showed her. She accepted without a blink and got ready to go with a pleasant smile on her face. Now that I felt our original agreement had been fulfilled I pulled my wallet back out and handed her 2,000B. Before anyone starts complaining I believe in luck. I could basically afford this small amount and felt my generosity and goodwill would pay off in the future. The memory of this particular event will remain along time in my mind - well worth the money.
Re:Everything Negotiable In Thailand
Retired Forever,
I'm sure some mongers won't agree with you about paying more but I think it is great that you did that. I really believe in building the goodwill. Also the girl was really hungry and you helped her out so you also built some good karma. It also showed a lot of class. Happy mongering!!
Tourists warned of bacteria contamination at food shops

Coliform bacteria have contaminated utensils at many food shops around tourist attractions, according to the Health Department.
"The contamination can cause diarrhoea and food poisoning," the department's academic Anocha Charoenpornkijwattana said Sunday.
According to her, the information came from the Health Department's study on hygienic standards at 12 attractions across the country. As more than half of food shops in these attractions have participated in the department's Clean Food Good Taste project, the study focused on the non-participating food shops only.
"We have detected coliform-bacteria contamination on their plates, ice tongs, cooks' hands and waiters' hands," Anocha said.
Virus and "other" infections
use your head folks - anti-virus software and firewalls are out there for a REASON. Whether camfrog or some other programme is the responsible party, it will generally be BLOCKED by most of the programs. Spybot, Spyware blaster, others can stop the junk before it gets onto your machine. Use a ROUTER and eliminate the random "pop-up" crap. The computer needs a rubber, too.
Do girls get bigger in BKK?
Just a question to fellow mongers who like myself also enjoy the LOS since multiple decades:
Does the now readily available farang food in BKK (fast food, cheese, pizza and such) makes the girls get bigger?
It seems to me that overall the stungingly slim bodied Thai girl of the past is now somewhat in a minority, even in places jknown for young (and Japanese looking) performers, such as Rainbows in NP.
