Just wondering what the quality of condoms you buy there. The pharmacy is the place to buy in BKK, I presume. I plan to bring many, just never know if you need more.

You can buy condoms in pharmacy if you wish or in 7 Eleven. I use Durex Comfort as they are easy to get on and off, extra width, and not too thick. Not every single place has them, but should be available in touristy areas. There is no problem with quality for this brand. I cannot speak to other brands. Do not buy condoms that are ribbed or pimpled. Girls do not like it.

I don't like to rely on girls to supply a condom, as she may have one that does not suit.

I prefer to bring Ritex Gel from overseas as most of the local gels are not as good in my opinion. Too sticky, however most will be using KY or Durex Play.

RumBuddy I don't mean to insult you, but Thailand is not 'third world' anymore. Some Bangkok hospitals are among the words best, the supermarkets sell virtually anything you can get at home plus stuff from other first world markets you may never have seen. At the risk of sounding a bit queer, if you have ever seen ladyboys in heat, you will understand that a significant portion of Thai males are as big as some black dudes. Asian size condoms are for China and Japan markets.

Just ask some experienced black women. They can attest that its a misconception that average black men are so big. Its just a small percentage that are extra large, same as for whites. It is generally agreed that East Asians are smaller on average (but not always). Thais do not have the reputation as the smallest though.

Having a large dick is a disadvantage in Thailand unless you happen to be with a particularly loose woman. Guys too well hung will get more knockbacks, and also more bad sessions where girls legs will seize up because they are scared. Girls will complain of pain quicker too.

Size 49 condoms are not for just Chinese and Japanese. That is silly. Every nationality has a lot of variations.

Perhaps you might wish to learn some Thai next time around to assist with your communication?

Never been a real issue from my perspective given that there are some aspects of communication that are universal irrespective of language backgrounds.

It was a strange post to begin with. I know quite a few Americans are quite unworldly so perhaps it is simply indicative of a certain lack of knowledge about the world. Generally prostitutes are made up of the lower socio economic groups so to go to a foreign country and expect them to speak English is bizarre.

I've been in Thailand for almost six weeks. One thing I was not prepared for was how [CodeWord140] poor most Thai's English language skills are. It's kind of been a spoiler on the holiday (no one can answer questions about local customs) and on mongering. I was planning to enjoy six weeks play here then go somewhere more exotic (such as Burma) for some cultural tourism, but really I am so disappointed by the linguistic (and other) skills of the girls that I have bedded here that I am thinking of going to the Philippines, where apparently the girls can string a couple of sentences together. The best girl I had here so far (and by far) was Zambian!

Disappointed so far in the Land of Smiles after Bangkok, Pattaya and Kanchanaburi.

I'd be happy to pull the lever on these two cretins, we still all need to take responsibility for how we act in a foreign country and to avoid potentially dangerous situations. A little research would have probably saved these two kids' lives.

I just hope these two guys are really the ones that did it. I wouldn't put it past local law enforcement to frame these guys.

There is one thing about some tourists that never ceases to amaze me, and that's how you can travel to a foreign land and never study anything about local culture beforehand.

Some very good points you raise. Thanks for doing so.

"burmese men behind deaths of british backpackers reconstruct scene of murder.

it was a strange scene on the island of koh tao. the two burmese men who confessed to killing two british backpackers on a thai beach were forced to reconstruct the murder, sky news reported. the reenactment is a typical practice used by thai police, according to newser.com. hannah witheridge, 23, died from head wounds on sairee beach while david miller, 24, died from drowning and a blow to the head from a garden hoe. the sick men behind the killing murdered miller in an act of "sexual jealousy," according to the thai police chief.

according to footage, the handcuffed suspects identified as win, 21, and saw, 23, of myanmar walk through the murder wearing motorcycle helmets and police vests on sairee beach. police surround them, and hundreds of locals and tourists gawk at the bizarre sight. one suspect can be seen talking to officers while he walks from the sea to the beach, brandishing a large tool to apparently replicate the garden hoe. the peculiar reconstruction also included a fake witheridge and miller, and the imposters walked along the beach with their arms around each other. the dangerous duo copped to killing the young tourists during police interrogation.

"the suspects saw them kissing and were aroused, so they attacked and got rid of the man and proceeded to [CodeWord123] the female victim," said national police chief somyot poompanmoung, adding there was "clear evidence" including witness testimony and forensic evidence.

dna of the two men match that found in witheridge, police said, after samples were collected from more than 100 men on the island. provincial police chief kiattipong khaosamang said the two men also admitted [CodeWord125] witheridge. ".

"the victims were david miller, 24, and hannah witheridge, 23. they were relaxing on the beach when the men, who had been drinking, allegedly set upon them, authorities said. police said they raped the woman repeatedly before bashing her head with a hoe and killing her, according to the bangkok post. authorities told reporters that the man appeared to have been beaten with the hoe first and dragged into the sea while alive. they said there was evidence that he died by drowning. one of the men worked at a resort hotel and the other at a restaurant near the crime scene.

the bangkok post noted that thai authorities "are frequently accused of framing migrants" from myanmar and cambodia "for crimes in the kingdom. "police insist they are not scapegoating anyone for the murders. both public officials and koh tao residents seem anxious to put the sordid scenes of the past 19 days behind them," said the paper. ".

the accused were among three nationals from myanmar. formerly known as burma. held since thursday on suspicion of involvement in the crime. the third myanmar man is believed to be a witness and is currently under police protection. the men have been charged with the murder of both britons. a charge which carries the death penalty. they have not asked for legal representation.

wow. a scene straight out of "the blooding. " which is a highly recommended book for anyone interested in the early development of forensic dna evidence. the cops basically took blood from everybody in a small town in the uk.

there is one thing about some tourists that never ceases to amaze me, and that's how you can travel to a foreign land and never study anything about local culture beforehand.

just a few years ago, a couple of russian chicks were killed on jomtien by a local. one of the thai papers had pix of the bodies sitting on a beach chair. they were shot by some local pos. but these two rocket scientists were drinking until the very wee hours with these local guys, alone, on a dark beach. we can guess what lead up to the shootings.

many times i've seen some euro-broad show up at some beach, strip down to her bathing suit bottoms and go for a swim. this may play in europe, but in sea, parts of the caribbean, parts of mexico, etc. , etc. , it's highly frowned upon and highly insulting to the locals. it also give the impression that all farang women are hos and sluts.

now we have a couple going at it hot and heavy on a secluded beach, in a country where, until very recently, men and women didn't even hold hands in public. how is this a good idea?

while i deplore this act of senseless violence, and i'd be happy to pull the lever on these two cretins, we still all need to take responsibility for how we act in a foreign country and to avoid potentially dangerous situations. a little research would have probably saved these two kids' lives.

You are correct about Thailand not being 3rd world, but incorrect about size in Thailand. They are some of the smallest dudes in Asia; hence some of the smallest in the world. Saw a chart just the other day in fact.

Nothing. Thai history and culture is based on the whole concept of women as 'relaxation aides' for a male society, that's why they are so naturally charming deferring and also flirty. That's where the whole saying 'up to you' comes from. Taksin was the worst crusader against the whole sex drugs and rock and roll this country has probably ever seen. It was unworkable, and in a lovely twist of irony. HE is in exile in the UAE one of the most un-fun places this side of Mecca. Hope He's sucking it up! So in conclusion, your (legal age) pussy and beer is not going to go away. Trust me.

Oh, things will change here. They are already in the process. Women have more economic power now, there are more women in uni in Thailand than men, more female CEOs than any other nation, and hey we just had a female PM.

So if you think things are not going to be different 5, 10,15 yrs from now. I got news for you. They are already way different than they were 10 years ago. Salaries are such that office gals don't have to moonlight as P4 P gals anymore. Really restaurant staff don't either. Most of the P4 P gals now are ones that are just too lazy or too dumb to do anything else.

If he is serious what could mean for the action in Thailand?

The pharmacy chains like Boots will stock the international brands of condoms. I always brought enough so I did not check it out in detail. Perhaps they are made for "Asian" size?

All the local 7/11 and other shops stock Durex -- with a wide variety of sizes, flavors and colors.
