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.

The program is free to download and sign up but you can only watch one cam at a time with the free registration. You CAN, however, pay for a more powerful Camfrog program that allows you to watch as many cams as you want simultaneously. I haven't done that yet...still having quite enough fun one cam at at time at this point.

Anybody else using camfrog?

I got the infamous "blue screen" on my computer (VISTA, 2Gb RAM, 3.0MHz) after providing information to allow viewing of larger images. Otherwise, it worked okay prior with the limiting single view. Needless to say, CamFrog is no longer on my HDD. OH, got a bunch of malware and spyware but can't say for sure it come because of CamFrog.

I haven't heard Camfrog mentioned yet, but I've found it's a great way to chat with and watch girls from Thailand, the Philippines, China and Japan on their webcams. In fact, there are so many Thai girls on there, they've had to establish their own webcam server. lol! So far, I haven't come across any from Singapore or Indonesia yet though. And amazingly, I haven't come across any pro webcam sex girls yet either. Some get naked, some just dance around and tease and some just sit there. It's a free download from the website of the same name and you don't have to have a webcam yourself, although it obviously helps in getting the girls to talk to you, cam to cam. Beware of the fat pasty white bitches on the North America server, although the most naked-getting Thais and Pinoys frequent there too in search of "foreign talent." :-)

I've lined up several possibilities for my next trip to Thailand so we'll see how it goes.

Hello Gents,

. I have perused several of the threads, and am a bit confused about this "fight club". What is the deal there.

Anyway, I look forward to writting a few FR as well.

Nice to have you aboard pal.
The "fight club" is not like in the movie of the same name, rather it's just a place to argue over BS among current members. It's not the place to post vital information but a place to express your thoughts only.

Hello Gents,

I just discovered this forum by accident, you know how it goes, click on this, click on that, and voila!

Anyway, I am a frequent visitor to BKK, and KL, and plan on doing a lot of reading in the next few weeks. I have my favorite haunts, and am interested to see if many are mentionned in these threads.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- The Thai king has pardoned a Swiss man who was given a 10-year sentence for spray-painting over images of the revered monarch, but the longtime Thailand resident has been ordered to leave the country, police said Thursday.

Oliver Rudolf Jufer.

According to court testimony, Jufer had been out drinking with a friend and drove his motorcycle home to pick up a can of spray-paint, which he had bought to paint his dog house..

This idiot got off easy. Even his so call defense is BS.

He was suppose to be drunk and can't tell the difference between the King's face and a dog house? Yet he was sober enough to drive a motocycle all over the place? Well, like I said, his testimony is all BS.----IMO

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- The Thai king has pardoned a Swiss man who was given a 10-year sentence for spray-painting over images of the revered monarch, but the longtime Thailand resident has been ordered to leave the country, police said Thursday.

Oliver Rudolf Jufer, who last month became the first foreigner convicted in at least a decade under strict Thai laws protecting the monarchy, was expected to be deported back to Switzerland later in the day, said police Col. Sangob Sanudon, the chief of Chiang Mai's immigration office.

Police and prison officials in the northern city of Chiang Mai confirmed Jufer had been transferred Wednesday to a police station in Chiang Mai ahead of his deportation. They said he was expected to fly to Bangkok and then onto Switzerland. "The king in his kindness has granted him a pardon and he has been transferred from prison and is in the process of being deported from the country," Chiang Mai police Col. Prachuab Wongsuk told The Associated Press.

A spokesman for the Swiss Embassy could not be immediately reached for comment. Jufer was caught by surveillance cameras on December 5 spray-painting black paint over five outdoor posters of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in Chiang Mai, where he lived.

Bhumibol, who is greatly loved by Thais and regarded by some as semi-divine, is protected from reproach by strict laws that forbid any criticism of the monarchy. Jufer, who lived in Thailand for 10 years, pleaded guilty in March to five counts of lese majeste, or insulting the monarchy. He had faced a maximum of 75 years in prison.

According to court testimony, Jufer had been out drinking with a friend and drove his motorcycle home to pick up a can of spray-paint, which he had bought to paint his dog house. He drove up to a municipal office where a large poster of the king was hung outside, and climbed a ladder to spray paint over the image. He then defaced four other posters near his home, according to the testimony.

The vandalism coincided with Bhumibol's 79th birthday, which was celebrated across Thailand with fireworks and prayers. Millions of portraits of the king, who is the world's longest serving monarch, were hung late last year around the country to honor his birthday. Many Thais wear bright yellow shirts every Monday, the color that in Buddhist tradition represents the day of the week on which Bhumibol was born.

His case cast a rare spotlight on Thailand's strict lese majeste laws, which have remained virtually unchanged since the creation of the country's first criminal code in 1908, despite the overthrow of an absolute monarchy in 1932.

Just thought I would make some personal observations about Suvarnabhumi.

I used the airport several times during my recent visit to LOS. I used Air Asia to fly backwards and forwards to Chiang Rai but couldn't believe the marathon trek it takes to get from the main hall to the departure gate. This must be the longest walk I have ever had in any of the numerous international airports I have visited over the years.

Taxi touts seem to be an even bigger problem here than they used to be at the old airport, I must have got propositioned at least a dozen times. I am sure other mongers have mentioned this before me, but head down to the ground floor for the licensed meter taxis. This by the way is officially called the "1st floor"

There is an excellent and cheap restaraunt on this floor by exit 8 about half the price of the rest of the other places at the airport. If you walk outside and turn left, immediatley on the left is an airport shop for the Thai airport workers. Everything there is priced at levels you would expect to pay in a regional 7/11 store and beats paying the excessive prices charged elsewhere.

I was surprised to find that the rules have now changed about flying out from Thailand and that you no longer have to pay the departure tax (was it 500 baht or 700?) The cost is now incorporated into the airline ticket which makes a lot more sense to me.

Good bus service into BKK but yes prices have gone up from the old airport. I caught my bus from the first floor (150 baht) straight into Sukhumvit Road) where I was staying.

If you want to use a taxi to get around (better than a bus) do what I do, especially if you do not want to spend lots of cash and are travelling to Pattaya for example. Sooner or later there will be people turning up going to the same destination and you just ask them would they like to share the cost with you. With two or three people this can save you a lot of money which you can then spend on something far more worthwhile when you get to Pattaya!

Hi guys,

Just a quick question for the married guys visiting LOS. Is it better to remove your wedding band when seeking company?

Will be visiting BKK for couple of days business, hoping to slot in a bit of fun. However, I was just wondering what the attitude of the girls toward guys with wedding bands? Possibly a stupid question but interested to know your views.

Cheers,

Eagle

Does not matter if you remove the ring as long as you do not remove your wallet

[Eagle_I]

Thanks Nic, appreciate the reply.

HT, I am hurt. Here I was thinking that the p4p girls will just want to go with me for my good looks and my fit bod. Now you are saying that it is my fat wallet they are after? Man that sucks. Well hopefully she will too!

[NicFrenchy]

Ha Ha Ha. Are you serious? Eagle, they just want our money! They don't care if you are married or not!

Not so fast.

Yes that is 99% true, but they will all ask you if your wife is Thai.
If your wife is a Farang, they will laugh and proceed to make you feel good

If you say your wife is Thai, they will be very cautious, Thai girls can be crazy when it comes to love, and P4P girls fear that. My colleague is Married to a Thai and everytime he goes to a bar, he removes his ring, he told me some girls refused to go with him because he was married to a Thai.
