Where in LOS was this?

Currently, my friend is in Pattaya!

@Goyave, than you for explaining!
As I am never too old to learn something new (except listening to any women... )!
@LBM, That's what I learned my friend too..."Never forget to smile, especialy when you seems to get into a hassle/trouble".

I have been using Internet cafe and just anyplace that provides Internet whenever I needed it the past 9 years especially in Pattaya. I have never been asked to provide a I.D. to anyone! period! and never even after the stupid law was passed! They can't even monitor a driving ticket. Go somewhere else! Just smile and start using!

Anyone heard of problems with kidnapping or roberies on this overnite train?
A frien of mine told me he had been warned it was a risk for Farangs.

Any help appreciated.

Hello,

First I wish everyone, whom is in LOS at the moment, a very good time!

But I want to put down a general question to you in the "field"... ;D

A friend of mine in in Thailand now. He called me the question, about showing ID before using a PC in a Internetcafe! It was such a strange thing to him, after everything I taught him about Thailand, the women and how (much) to pay...(He was/is a very good student... )!

I told him to go away, as the are (to) many opportunities to hire a PC for Internet!

So the Question is...; Has anyone experienced something similar?!?
Is it a Scam (which I think it is) or why did that guy wanted his name and so on??

Thanks in advance and happy mongering!

It is not a scam. It's because of a recent law (part of the 2007 Computer Crimes Act).

Its a bit of a mystery to me too. But the idea seems to be not to use words that denigrate women and instead to show respect for them. .

I accept what you say, but fail to understand Jackson's logic

How showing a photo of a girl with her face plastered in cum is not denigrating I fail to see.

When I used the word B....h in my Khorat post today, it was intended to be denigrating, since the fucking c**t (allowable?) stole my glasses after a miserable punt.

So the Question is...; Has anyone experienced something similar?!?

Though I've never had to use an internet cafe in LOS, I found this to be common practice in many countries like India and even Italy. In the latter, the owner said it's the governments way of tracing terrorist-liike messages back to computer and the user.

Can someone please explain why we are allowed to post pictures of wide open cunts, pussies impaled on cocks, dildoes and cucumbers, cum shots, reports that detail intimate sex acts etc etc, yet we are not permitted to use a word that rhymes with itch?

Its a bit of a mystery to me too. But the idea seems to be not to use words that denigrate women and instead to show respect for them. So B****, H*, W****, etc. are frowned on.
But can say Fuck all you like. It just means having sex.

Now photos of pussies are supposed to be beautiful or erotic and should not be seen as denigrating women.
I definitely am a pretty pussy man.
So I don't like shots of ugly messy pussy.

.!

While I was there 2 weeks ago, SOME shops asked for ID, some did - but no proof of ID req'd either!

good advice to your friend- just keep movin' to the next shop.

Very likely because this word that rhymes with itch is not a descriptive but a derogatory one.

The go-go bars are empty and sex is on sale at half price as Bangkok's infamous red-light districts suffer from a blockade of the capital's airports.

The go-go bars are empty and sex is on sale at half price as Bangkok's infamous red-light districts suffer from a blockade of the capital's airports.

"It's high season, but now it's like low season," said Nan, a scantily clad hostess at one deserted nightspot in the Thai capital's notorious Patpong area.

An old man plays guitar and sings along to a karaoke machine inside. Outside, beneath the pink neon, about 10 women in almost identical low-cut dresses try to drum up trade.

Although anti-government protesters have ended their siege of Bangkok's airports, the effect of Thailand's ongoing political chaos on the tourism industry is devastating.

Sex tourism is no exception. Patpong depends on foreigners to keep afloat, but as the 350,000 air travelers stranded by the airport closures rush to leave, replacements are not coming in.

"Now Thailand has a problem - no customers," said Lam, a man who works for Nan's bar, luring tourists in off the streets by posing as a friendly Thai offering unsolicited advice on good places to go.

Lam is hopeful the trade will return to Patpong, a lurid strip of live shows and sleazy nightlife.

"It is because of the airport, but now the airport is all clear," he said.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand is not so optimistic.

The group expects incoming travelers in 2009 to be half the 14.8 million the kingdom saw last year, with word of the protests causing tourists considering a trip to Thailand to book elsewhere.

At the
normally standing-room-only "ping- pong" shows, five or six women swarm each new arrival.

Some are following the example of Thailand's resorts and luxury hotels by offering discounted rates.

Prostitutes offer two hours of sexual services for 800 baht (HK$173) instead of the normal 1,500 to 2,000 baht that would cost.

The airport closures also hurt the capital's other entertainment options, such as the famous "ladyboy" cabaret shows.

"The shutdown of the airports seriously affected our business," said Nipon Boonmasuwaran, sales and marketing manager of the Calypso show, where flamboyantly dressed transvestites lip-sync and dance to famous tunes.

"Our guests have dropped 90 percent - we have less than 50 guests in our 350-seat theater," Nipon said.

The Calypso also canceled its second daily showing during the November 25 to December 3 chaos, when images of frustrated tourists trying to flee Thailand from a military airbase beamed around the world.

"We handed out thousands of free tickets for the stranded hotel guests in order to entertain them and hope that they would buy drinks - otherwise we will have no business," he said.

"Since reopening of the airports, business is trickling in but very slow," adding that guests normally came from Europe - especially the Netherlands and Belgium - and Asian countries such as South Korea, Japan and Singapore.

The blockade may have brought in some extra trade.

American tourists Lisa Richardson, 30, and Michael Latham, 29, said they would never have come to Patpong had they not been stranded in Bangkok.

"Being stuck for an extra week convinced us to spend time and money on things we wouldn't have normally - ping-pong shows for example," Latham said.

But he said that he feels for Thais whose livelihood is being hit.

"They're hurt so much worse than we are and it just hurts to see."

Thailand was until 2005 the world's leading destination for sex tourists, when its crown was taken by Brazil, according to Interpol.

Although prostitution is officially illegal in Thailand, estimates for the number of sex workers range from 80,000 to two million women and men.

At her Patpong bar, Nan says she hopes the tourists return soon, as she sends the money she earns back to her family near the Cambodian border.

"Maybe in 15 days, a month, it comes back," she said. AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

I was on Air Asia last night -- Kuala Lumpur to Medan, Indonesia. When I bought the ticket two weeks ago the departure was to be 19:50. Upon arrival at KLCC on another Air Asia flight, I found out by checking the internet the flight had been rescheduled to 22:00. The plane finally left at 23:15. Pretty typical for Air Asia.

I would guess this was AA Indonesia, delays/canceling not unusual.

Never had an AA Malaysia delay, but maybe I've been lucky in that respect.

I have encountered some rude lads and air-headed (no pun intended) girls at check-in at KL LCCT. I once showed up four (4) minutes late for a check-in and some punk kid who was supposed to be the manager barked at me "flight closed!" They need to teach their hires to be professional, but maybe it's like McDonald's where they hire kids cheap.
