Hi guys,

Just a quick question. Is it ok to buy this stuff from the street vendors along Sukhumvit or can you recommend a better source like a special pharmacy?

Thanks for your help.

My take: It is recommended by the manufacturers that pharmaceutical products be stored within a range of moderate room temperatures. How do you believe the street vendors store their product? And for how many weeks or months?

The best place (price and selection) I have found to buy legit ED products is the pharamacy in the Foodland on Sukhumvit soi 5. The generic options are quite a bit cheaper, and in my experience work fine.

3 cheers! Someone who thinks as I do. I frequent KTV's in China and if I see tat's they are not for me. Same goes for a smoker, not for me! I can not understand why a girl with a good body, nice skin, would mess it up with garish tat's? A beautiful woman's body is like a painting, you don't take magic marker and scribble all over it. Not only do you ruin the value, but the beauty is gone!

Us old fuddy duddies better get used to it. Tats is a fashion and hip thing for the younger generation. Then we have piercings as well to deal with. How many beauties aged 20+ have none of these in the modern day? Not many, whether hookers or not. So the term "tramp stamp" is a misnomer, showing prejudices.

I still have some slight phobia about metal shrapnel piercings maybe with diamonds in the delicate pussy area. I did get used to ear rings, belly rings and tongue studs. I have pretty much learned to ignore tats, however I still hate to see them on the tits, if the tits should have a beautiful shape (naturals).

Girls that are hot in bed seem to often be smokers too, unfortunately, although smoking is on the way out of fashion I think. Young smokers may not have really bad smokers breath, if they are careful, but when they get older, they will.

Most girls will say they got tats when they were drunk, so it should be made a criminal offense to put tats on a girl with blood alcohol over some figure. There should be police raids of tattoo parlours. Ha ha. Maybe a minimum age of 21 before tats allowed, same for piercings.

There were reports recently that the air in BKK is Toxic or contains Toxic materials. Wear a mask, drink only bottled water and Beer and eat pussy not steak. 555.

It's the are boys and girls it's the air. If I can't see mm off of the 37th floor of a central condo, and the air is bad. If it's black purple in the NO2 on the web for the entire River valley, then the air is bad. If I walk outside to get myself a lemon tea from the sweet little coffee aunty and the air smells like yesterday's underwear and the SkyTrain looks like it's draped in the smog, then the air is bad.

So like a real American, I take problems right in hand and solve them. I'm not going to be in the cold during the winter or fall months, and I like Asia far better than Spanish countries. While it doesn't really matter except to my smiling bookkeeper, I like to be frugal. Plus, I need interesting things to do. So last week, I got on a plane and rolled into Siem Reap, arrived at 920 pm and was in a bar with a bag of weed and a beer one hour later.

And although there was a bit of burning in the air, and my colleagues told me that there is smoke that ruin certain photography opportunities, generally the air has been pretty clean. However, for the pictures that I was looking for, it's best you be in Siem during rainy season or in the early fall. Okay then, weeds ignored, transport as easy, the air is clean, that sounds like a plan and I rented a luxury condo for a year for 1/4 of the price that it would probably cost in Bangkok and three times the quality. Yes Virginia you can have those old days back, because basically, this is where Thailand was 20 years ago. I'm not going to laud the advantages, or gloss over the myriad of flaws, but it's just about 9 am, and I am on a balcony overlooking a bunch of dirt roads and palm trees drinking a cup of coffee that the maid brought me up since I don't have all my stuff yet, and I'm about to fire up a fatty.

I'll roll him to Bangkok later on tonight, and probably come back here again at the end of the month. Then when my lease is up in Bangkok, I'll just come over here.

Now you guys may or may not choose to debate all this endlessly but the suffice it to say about Bangkok is this. I've got 25 years of Thailand under my belt, I love the country, I love the people, I've never been treated bad by anyone, I have had and will continue to have some great times and made some great friends, the photographic opportunities is great and it's nice and warm. But government of Thailand but:

I'm not a long haired dreadlocked dope-smoking backpacking sex tourist of which there are many here in Cambodia by the way, which will even be better for me too because I can amuse myself by tormenting them intellectually. I had some California dude about 20 years old just lecture me about Thailand yesterday. It's so bad being ignorant like me and thank God for this twenty-year-old to tell me exactly the way how the world works dude. Basically, I'm someone that can afford to comfortably live in two countries so that my old and aching body is preserved. That place in the winters was always Thailand, but pay attention Thailand government, if you want me to let you hold $25,000 of my stash, or pay you a fat $15,000 for an elite Visa just let me know whether you wanted and cash, check, money order or bank transfer. But, in exchange, I really don't want to reporting every 90 days and give me clean air. That's all I want. That's the real problem too, anything else is just whining from internet experts or guys who think they are self-important or who can't handle anything in life. Air. Why would I go to Thailand and pay the same prices as I pay in key West and not be able to breathe the air? Why, because Thai girls are so beautiful and fantastic and cheap? I can do just as good in the West, in point of fact, I can have any woman I want anytime I want and honestly, it doesn't matter what it cost. So as I wander through life, it's the one bottom line of something and for me, it's the air.

Does that mean I hate Thailand? Am my running around message boards gloating that I have gotten out of Thailand and anybody that goes there is stupid? Am I whining about the fact that it's just so expensive and bar fines are so high you can't even have fun? If I were over on the Cambodia side of this board that I pretty much got the lay of the land here and you can get your jollies with a legal girl for 5 bucks as long as you're into the Chicken shack thing, do wonder how many people will send me messages saying yeah dude tell me how to get to the Chicken shack set sounds great. Whatever, and just so it's clear, if you are mongering through life with no focus other than that, welle you're not going to go to Cambodia.

And I suppose it helps that it takes me just about an hour to get to Bangkok. That's great because my crib here is so lifestyle of the Rich and famous, that already my buds back in the big Mango are thinking about what we call condo trading, hey man do you want to go to Bangkok, I'll give you my condo for 3 days if you give me yours. Yeah dude that sounds great, I'm in the mood for Mixx. You better leave me two hundred bucks, because my condo is nicer than yours. Let me know what breakfast you want the maids to give you.

And so it goes. I already started a brief report for you boys over at the Cambodian section, but I only got half done because of this silly system where they have to pre-approve your post. God knows why, there is so much stupidity blasting about maybe it's just like a time thing and no one really reads them. Of course, once I get rid of my distaste for the inability to edit my long reports because they have to be quote moderator close quotes I'll post some really hot Bangkok news that I've gotten. And a new venue.

3 ...I can not understand why a girl with a good body, nice skin, would mess it up with garish tat's? ...

No matter how good they think a tatt looks when they're 25, I guarantee they will hate it when they are 40.

[MrClen]

You better get used to it if you plan on doing any fucking these days. I will be the first to tell a chick that she looks like a damn fool. What possesses them to go around looking like that? And these ugly ass out of nowhere tattoos? I mean I have tattoos, but they have significance and are not in view if I do not want them to be. I didn't just hop up one day and decide it would make sense to have some permanent, random bullshit drawn down my entire leg or some letters on my fingers. I, for one, like chicks with natural beauty.

However, the girls are really not easy on the eyes these days, unless ample tattoos, ridiculous nose jobs and ugly thickly painted eyebrows are your thing.

It absolutely is not. Thailand has a scene that's more in-your-face and out in the open than in other places, and the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed with occasionally good and friendly service, rather than a typical wham-bam one-and-done in most other spots.

However, the girls are really not easy on the eyes these days, unless ample tattoos, ridiculous nose jobs and ugly thickly painted eyebrows are your thing. Thais (especially working girls from Issan) were never world's best lookers, but they used to have a certain endearing ordinary girl cuteness to compensate, with many coming across as normal and nice people, not hardened working girls. You could easily fall in love and spend a few days with a working girl (and prices were low enough to do so). It even wasn't rare for a punter to marry one. Among the working girls, all that is gone, a simple long time is hard to come by (and one probably wouldn't care to anyway, unless sex starved).

These days, even places like Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur are better for mongering than Thailand in many ways. Service might be crap, but at least they occasionally have some lookers, and prices are not higher either. No idea why and how, but you can actually you can get a Thai in HK for 170 HKD, which is only 700 baht for a quickie (including BBBJ and FS). Not easy to get that price / looks combination in Thailand anymore.

I would still recommend Thailand for a newbie monger, because the scene is so open and easy (albeit not cheap), and because Thailand is still great to visit (good food and sights, easy transportation, tourist infrastructure). However, for a hardcore monger who knows his way around, there are better options than Thailand. Unfortunately, I don't know of a single place with a notable mongering scene in Asia that is the same or better than it used to be 10 years ago. Not sure why, but they all became worse over time.

You have an interesting perspective Crocodilexp. I can more or less accept your analysis in paragraph 1 & 3 although I still manage to find cute, young, girls in BKK Go Go's.

But I strongly disagree with your suggestion that "Hong Kong (is) better for mongering than Thailand in many ways" even with your caveat that "service might be crap (in HK), but at least they occasionally have some lookers, and prices are not higher either. No, No, No! 555. Once upon a time I used to like the punting scene in HKG. I fondly remember picking up Mongolian, Korean, and Thai STUNNERS in Hari's Bar. It was never cheap, but the quality was amazing. Back then, I am talking 2002 to 20013, the Wan Chai bars were very good too as they were brimming with attractive Viets & Indonesian girls. Again not cheap, but great quality. And then there were the Chinese SW's that hung around Moody Road and the Urbon Council Garden in front of the Regal Kowloon Hotel. I liked them because occasionally I would spot a real attractive girl among the useless. But I was never a fan of Thai Temple Street SW's of which I believe you are referring to in this quote "700 baht for a quickie (including BBBJ and FS). " I mean I respect you opinion and maybe everyone interested should try them street girls at least once just for the slumming experience, but man its pretty low on the totem pole and scuzzy. You are not going to get any GFE, LOL, in this venue and the conditions in the rooms are deplorable, but hey what can you expect in HKG, a very ricco town, for 170 hkd. The Chinese SW's I mentioned are 500 hkd, but at least you take them back to your hotel room.

Anyway, I just wanted to balance out your HKG recommendation. I was last there in November 2017 after a lapse of 4 years. On Friday night I hung out in 2 of the most popular Wan Chai bars. The talent was below dreadful! Friday Night! Ok it was great if you like overweight, 40 year old Filipinas amd don' t mind paying them 2000 HKG. I went back to my hotel around 1:30 am without a girl!. It was that bad. The next night I gave up on the bar scene and picked a very attractive Taiwanese 141 hotel reservation girl. The session in her 3.5 star hotel room was good. Her price was 1700 hkg. I left HKG the next day and I don't plan on returning to HKG for another 10 years. 555. The scene is really bad unless you want to pay up and if you want to pay up you would do a hell of a lot better in Macau where the selection is the highest, but so is the price. As for bottom fishing, you can always go to China Town in BKK. I believe prices begin at 500 baht for a ST there. Good hunting to all.

The Good news: China has begun locking down those cities most affected by the new virus: "Wuhan to halt all outbound flights and trains as authorities try to stem spread of new pneumonia like illness ahead of Lunar New Year; death toll jumps to at least 17. And in addition to Wuhan, two more Chinese cities were put on lockdown by government authorities, expanding an unprecedented experiment to try to contain a fast-spreading virus that has killed at least 17 people and infected more than 500.

On Thursday, authorities in Huanggang, a city of 7. 5 million people said they won't let long-distance trains and buses run from the urban center and will shut its public transportation system in the lockdown zone, effective midnight Friday local time. Ezhou, another neighboring city with just over a million residents, said it would enact similar restrictions. ".

A word of caution: "Chinese authorities have suggested the coronavirus is spreading between people primarily through coughing, kissing or contact with saliva. " That means stay away from any working girls exhibiting flu like symptoms. Stay safe.

I'm afraid that this is a sample of what is to come in the near future. It is reported that Wuhan has a population of 11 million. Many Chinese cities are over populated and will have issues as time goes by.

Many of our members on our golf club are from China and they say that rotten meat and food are sold to the poor every day. The merchants do not want to loose money and they will not throw anything away.

As the world keeps over populating things will get worst. Food and water are the most important items in life and they are at the brink. Many cities in the US show high levels of lead poison in the water. We must be optimistic and hope that changes will take effect that can help avoid the dangers that are coming.

There were reports recently that the air in BKK is Toxic or contains Toxic materials. Wear a mask, drink only bottled water and Beer and eat pussy not steak. 555.

Just to address this part: Thailand is still absolutely amazing and at stupidly bargain rates (for westerners). Columbia and Angeles City (Philippines) or other popular budget spots, each for their own reasons.

It absolutely is not. Thailand has a scene that's more in-your-face and out in the open than in other places, and the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed with occasionally good and friendly service, rather than a typical wham-bam one-and-done in most other spots.

Among the working girls, all that is gone, a simple long time is hard to come by (and one probably wouldn't care to anyway, unless sex starved).

These days, working girls mostly look hard and chewed up, almost always in the lowest 20% by looks (for their age group, compared to a BTS Skytrain sample), and service is getting worse too, both in absolute terms, and in terms of actually needing good service at $100-$150 while not caring much at $30.

These days, even places like Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur are better for mongering than Thailand in many ways. Service might be crap, but at least they occasionally have some lookers, and prices are not higher either. No idea why and how, but you can actually you can get a Thai in HK for 170 HKD, which is only 700 baht for a quickie (including BBBJ and FS).

Good post GrapeMan. While I do not think Thailand is a "bargain" anymore, it has not been that for at least 10 or 15 years, I do agree with your main point that LOS is still very very good. I prefer BKK & Pattaya over today's Phnom Penh (cheaper), AC & Cebu City (cheaper). For short visits under 2 or 3 weeks MNL (similar prices) and Jakarta (competitive prices) are very good, but these 2 cities are not as pleasant as BKK for longer stays. Sao Paulo is my favorite city outside of SE Asia and one could easily argue that the girls there are hotter than Thai girls. But Sao Paulo is not cheap either and I prefer the Thai Buddhist culture over any SA culture. Others are free to disagree.

I'm going to be in Thailand late Feb for business reasons and have decided to extend my trip for 3 weeks for pleasure. My initial plan was to split my time between Bangkok and Pattaya to enjoy the sights, ladies, and food. I'm also scouting for potential places to become an expat at. Early retirement, that sort of thing.

Just to address this part: Thailand is still absolutely amazing and at stupidly bargain rates (for westerners). Columbia and Angeles City (Philippines) or other popular budget spots, each for their own reasons.

Don't let the discussions by more connoisseur and very experienced people here dissuade you that Thailand is still an incredible place for this stuff (or let the newbies just getting their DS wet as they figure it out too dissuade you either). We're more arguing the finer points and tactics and tricks to keep the top notch stuff rolling. Sure, the old timers will tell you "it wasn't what it was X years ago". Sure it wasn't, but 15 years ago we were also talking about blackberries can never ever die, they are amazing! Ok really, Thailand has so much stuff going for it in the scene and just in the country overall. Everything is good brother. And the PSE in Thailand, at the price they offer it, pretty much can't be beat anywhere in the world.

[Kerrstar]

Scary part is that you won't know a person was infected until it's too late for you. May take a week after contracting the virus before any symptoms are obvious. This is Chinese New Year so millions and millions of Chinese will be traveling to other countries this week. Surprised no cases in Hong Kong and Taiwan yet but it's already hit South Korea and Japan. Maybe time to go to Germany instead of SE Asia or even Jakarta where not many Chinese tourists visit.

I stay for about 9 months a year in Wuhan where the virus came from but luckily left about 2 weeks ago for my holiday. The reason for where it has hit is the direct flights fom Wuhan to Seoul and Tokyo. There are very limited direct flights to Taiwan, only a couple of times a week if I recall. I doubt if there are no cases in HK, I'd say they haven't been reported. The train from Wuhan to HK is about 5 hours, so most people would take that rather than fly.

Luckily there are limited direct international flights from Wuhan to anywhere, although they have about 3 flights a day to Thailand, both BKK and Phuket, so expect cases to pop up there.

[Banana Boi]

Any other countries on that side of the world that I should add to my "short list" to RTFF about and research?

South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, that sort of area. I'm not too concerned with price, within reason, of course. I just want a nice mix of activities and joints to visit. (I'm going to Europe in the summer so I'll hit the other side of the world then).

If you aren't concerned about price why in the world are you considering SE Asia as a retirement hot spot? European countries like Switzerland, Austria, and Germany with their FKK clubs and, more importantly, the fact you aren't living in a 2nd or 3rd world country with a lot of backwards thinking should be where you consider early retirement if you have the funds to do so. Japan would be my pick for retiring in an Asian country. Hobbying is not cheap in Japan but the cost of living is not nearly as expensive as you may think. Getting a Visa may be an issue depending on which country you live in. If you have money, Japan allows 6 month visas for those who can show they have 30 million yen (8.3 million baht, 273,000 USD) in their bank account.

If you are seriously considering Thailand, plan on spending twice as much as you budgeted. The Thai baht continues getting stronger. 10's of thousands of broke ass Farang around Pattaya are living proof that Thailand was way more expensive than they had planned.

As I've began RTFF it is slowly becoming apparent that maybe Thailand no longer is the monger paradise it once was.

In SE Asia there is still no other country that offers the abundance of options that Thailand offers. Those of us who have lived in Thailand for some time b1tch about many things but Thailand is still the number 1 place in SE Asia. The only other SE Asia city that can give Thailand a run for its money would be the MUCH cheaper Jakarta, especially for guys who like naturally busty young girls.

Only caveat I would put on this is that I would never recommend Thailand for Indian men. Your brothers who proceeded you ruined it for you. I would recommend Jakarta, Phnom Penh, Angeles City, and even Kuala Lumpur for Indian men.
