[QUOTE=AsiaTraveler2]Rbamane,
Not sure why this happens so often, and the BKK thread is not alone. Why Veteran members feel the need to ridicule or harass innocent questions, seems to be rude and arrogant to me. The type of bullying most of us have out grown after grade school (or highschool for some).
Just to let you know, this question has been raised before and has always been met with the same respoGood luck with your search.

When he asked his first question, we answered, when he asked his 2nd, 3rd, we also answered. When he starting asking his 10th question without reading the fucking forum, I put him on my ignore list. When he asked his 15th question, I did a quick read of his other posts, and then called him a loser.
Nicfrenchy is a nice guy and never flames anyone - even he lost patience and asked if the guy had alzhemier's?
Even Giotto got on the band wagon, he's certainly not a bully but rather a pimp :D
He is a loser - maybe I'm an asshole or boring or arrogant or even worse, but I certainly am not a bully ;)

Traveler1234,
I agree, he's asked a lot of questions. Some, very naive, like Condoms. He could be 20 years old and green. I don't recall him asking the same question twice. Just 20 or so different questions. Yeah, it might be a bit annoying, like a puppy dog trailing your every move. I still think it's his right to ask and for us to answer or ignore.
I do think he needs to better understand the search funtion. It works fine, if you just don't get too specific. Lack of effort on his part? Yeah, probably. But loser? Just green to me. Many years ago, I had a friend in the same situation. Adventuresome guy, surfs, great with the woman, but when it came time for international travel, he balked. He asked a 100 questions and it took months to convince him. Once he got over the initial fear of the unknown, he's been out traveling me to Bangkok and the Phillipines. LOL!
Rbamane,
Things have not changed much over the past 2 years. Find any post that's no more than 2 years old and you can use it as a guide. See the other Bangkok threads. A lot of your answers are also in the Bangkok reports, Massage Parlor Reports and the Hotel Reports. Do a google search of Bangkok Models, Bangkok Massage, Bangkok Bar Girls and there are more than enough pics to give you an idea of what's in store for you. Do NOT use the Bangkok Photo Gallery in the Bangkok thread as a guide. There are too many posters throwing up pics just to scare people, I think.
Re-phrasing your questions might show you did some work. For example, I understand that the ST rates are about 1,000 to 2,000 baht. Is this still true? Just a starting point. Type in ST/LT or ST or ST rate and do a search. Lot's of info there. Reading the thread (at least 30 to 40 pages in each of the 3 main threads) will be worth your time. You will get your answers and alot of info you did not even think about.
Do you know about the Sky Train and the Subway? Do you know the key stops? Do you know where to exchange your money? Do you know the best way to get from the airport? Do you know about the traffic grid lock that BKK is famous for? Do you know where the best places to eat? etc., etc., etc. It does sound like you have traveled internationally, so it won't be very different if you have.
One last thought. Read the reports of distinction thread. Some fluff, but lot's of good stuff too.
Peace,
AT2

... question them for contributions ...
All you seniors and knowledgeable folks out there are living under the assumption that everyone is as experienced as you - but thats not the case!

Guido - do you think you will gimme a room at LL?
[/QUOTE]Rbamane,
With all due respect, I was quite serious with my question.
It is possible to take the time to read the forums, and to use the search function. Many questions are then answered. And it is also not good for the quality of a forum if the same questions are repeated again and again, and the same responds added - makes the forum boring on the longer term.
Guido, who is Guido? Anyway, of course you can get a room at LL, and we will also answer your questions when you are here...don't worry :) . Here we can do that for each single customer without getting others bored.
Peace!

[QUOTE=Rbamane]Has anyone ever gotten a hot tea treatment in BKK? (The lady fills her mouth with hot tea while giving a BJ)
...
[/QUOTE]AsiaTraveler2,
Point taken, trying to finish grade school :) ...
Hot tea / iced water treatment: Not easy to get that here in Bangkok. I knew one provider (met by chance) who was specialized in this kind of service, but she retired (with a Singaporean boyfriend).
What I would do is to talk to the papa/mamasans of Darling, Annies, Tulip or even Eden, and I am quite sure they know a few girls in their establishment who provide that service.

Rbamane,
I would highly suggest that you do stay at Livingstones. Great for everyone, but especially for a newbie. Girl friendly, Girls on site!, Soi 33 bars and massage places, close to the BTS and easy to get to Soi Cowboy or Nana Plaza from there. Good bar and food on premises, nice rooms, etc. Link provided below. There are also many experts on premises (management and customers) that may steer you in the right direction. Akane Massage is also on that Soi (street).
Also go to Asoke Station to catch the MRT Subway to Hwai Kuang Station and try out one of the Soapy Massage places (Nataree, Casaers, Emmanuelle) or taxi from that station to Utopia. The stop after Hwai Kuang is Suthisan and has the well know Poseidon complex near by.

Take the suggestions to heart. While it is a forum to exchange ideas and knowledge, you also need to be sure that you are not expecting others to do all of the work for you.
Have fun,
AT2

Thanks!
Thanks AsiaTraveler2, Giotto and others for understanding my PoV and the explanation on Search feature... looks like I was missing something there - was being more specific than what works!
I do wish to say that I have not asked 15 questions about BKK on this forum, whoever feels that way isn't perhaps doing a good "quick read" of my posts.
AT2, I do travel internationally but not very frequent - just about a couple times a year... and since BKK is the first time, I sure don't know about things that you have listed - like the train stops, places to eat, money exchange places, etc. I am reading through the pages these days from other BKK threads also to get a good idea of those things - it comforts to know that things haven't changed much in 2 years... from the place I come - it changes every 2 days - hence my suspicion on the validity of the posts (which I mention about in my first question-post).
Just as an aside, I have always gotten the best exchange rate while using my ATM card at the ATM machines rather than those manned booths - they give their "selling rate" for the local currency which is worse than the bank-to-bank rate for the local currency that you get when using the ATM. You can try this in any country where you land - I have tried it with UK Pound, Singapore $, Canadian $, New Taiwan $, etc.
Giotto - I will make the booking for my room very soon, stay tuned to hear back from me.
Meanwhile, PEACE with everyone around - I should get busy with my RTFFing.
Thanks buddys!

I created a thread for that some months ago, after we had another RTFF escalation in the Thailand forum. In that thread I answer questions from Bangkok rookies even if they were answered here in the forum before.

I had the chance to discuss with Jackson, over a couple of dinners, issues like that about the forum.
I do believe that every city should have some kind of "check list" as I call it. Meaning specific info from the time you touch ground to the time you are leaving that city. E.g. how to get to/from the city, where to stay, where to eat and mostly where to party and monger. Places, prices what to avoid etc
In order to get an idea pls read a little "Bubba boy's" guide to Rio de Janeiro.
Mick Licker did an excellent work recently but I am afraid it will be soon lost in between the other reports.
Jackson was thinking of hiring someone to do that but I think he will eventually need the help of the experts of every city.
Meanwhile we can all contribute by answering some questions.
I am planning my next trip to SE Asia visiting new places that I have never been before and I can understand how all newbies are feeling about going to a place for the first time. eg "Dickhead" is a veteran poster in south america having about 2.000 posts but was going to Thailand for his first time and was asking if he can pass his sleeping pills through customs. If you visit Thailand once you know that this is not an issue but if it is your first time you simply don't.
Thanks

El Greco,
Well put. We do need a "Bubba Boy's" guide for each city, but at the very least, one for Bangkok (due to volume). A just the facts thread might also work in the interim. Rates, places and very brief descriptions. No questions, comments or backslapping allowed type of thread. Possibly a sticky note concept? With "Bubba Boy's" guide, I did not even need to ask any questions, so I am very familiar with it.
So often, the simple questions appear dumb upon first glance, but in fact have a very good basis. Even a BKK vet like Duni had a newbie question, but he was answered appropriately due to his "fame" and contributions on the thread.
Thanks for the feedback.

Rbamane,
You are correct. Use an ATM card or use one of the Banks. You may need to get some currency at the airport, for the taxi and basic pre-check in stuff.
Good luck!

Hot tea BJ
Rbamane
There is one. It is a little off the regular venue. Walk down Soi 13 for about 800 meters, past the small convenience store. You will come to a small soi on your right. There is a laundry shop on that corner. Go 200 meters and you will see the sign HT Massage.
I found it by accident, and it caters to local Thais. Not sure if it caters to farangs, though. Good Luck.

Nic:
There is a already Rookies thread on Giotto's forum for exactly that....[url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?t=2615[/url]
Rhabame needs to exert a little effort. The LOS forum is the most written on ISG, has the most bullshit (eg information), and yes sometimes take a little bit of time to read.
I mean - like when you're in a bar, is your wingman suppose to negotiate for you or shouldn't you do a little heavy lifting yourself. From reading the replies by others, Rbamane hasn't even taken the fucking time or effort to navigate over to Giotto's thread.

He can't be both a newbie and at the same time, claim he's contributed on other country forums, right? Which one is he - maybe just a lazy loser :D
IMHO :)
