Hi all.

I was in Thailand in May and paid for 1 months premium membership which I then canceled when I returned home. About 1 week later my account was suspended so I opened a new account but again 1 week later it was suspended as well. I used a different email account but the same cell number for verification.

Firstly has this happened to other people? Secondly how do I fix this problem? I'm thinking of obtaining a new SIM and use it for the verification code.

I was a standard member of TF for 6 months and I experienced no problems. Is the suspended account a reward for buying and and not renewing my premium membership?

Thanks in advance.

Not that I will have a better suggestion than Mr. E's about contacting them, but just letting you know something similar to this happened to me too. Like you, I'd had a short term premium account, cancelled and later could not sign up again for another stint. This would not make sense from a business standpoint, of course. It must be a weird glitch in their system. Why would ThaiFriendly "punish" someone for cancelling an account in the past by preventing them from signing up again later to give them more money? But the same thing crossed my mind at the time. Then again, the word "Thai" is in there, so maybe what makes sense has little or no bearing. In my case, signing up again with just a different email address was enough to get it done. I had the same phone number as before.

I should mention that when I first got stumped in trying to sign up for that second stint, I emailed them about it and never got a response. I waited a week for their reply and never got one. That was when I decided to try signing up with a different email address and that solved it.

Now, I have gotten an email response from them on a recent question I had about renewal while I am a current premium member. Which is a very different circumstance, of course. Incidentally, my question this time was how to change my auto-pay/renew 3 month premium membership to an auto-pay/renew 1 year premium membership without first cancelling my current 3 month membership, which appeared to be the only way it can be done according to what I've read on their website. I am wary of cancelling and being locked out again unless I open another email account, maybe add a new phone number for verification, blah, blah, blah. Sure enough, that is what ThaiFriendly's email response told me to do; I must allow my current account to end and then sign up again for a new account. You can't change your next billing cycle ahead of time while in the midst of another one in order to retain your current profile settings, photos, Interests, Favorites, etc. Uh. Ok.

That also means I had to go into settings and cancel the auto-pay/renew part of the deal or my ongoing 3-month premium memberships will never end, they'll just keep getting automatically renewed as a 3 month premium membership. I've got a couple of weeks left of my current account so it remains to be seen whether I will be able to sign up again and give them more money or not when that time comes.

Oh, a quick question: are you signed up with another dating site, say, ThaiCupid on that email account that no longer works for ThaiFriendly? I only ask because that was the case for me and, as weird as it sounds, the thought actually crossed my mind that there was some issue of "duplicity" or perhaps the same people own both sites and they were trying to boost or retain ThaiCupid memberships by locking me out of ThaiFriendly or whatever strange Internet thingy was up.

Why not email and ask them? When mine expired it was on automatic renewal and I did not know it. When I saw it charged my card, I sent them an email and they reversed the charges.

I am going to a small strip of bars and the picking is bad. One girl I took home sent me a line message a few days later, I mistook her for someone else and replied. Apparently she got mad. She told me she didn't want to talk to me anymore and when I saw her yesterday she gave me a mean look. I don't understand that. I imagine I am not the only customer she has or messages with. She was fun, but no more of her.

Another woman there I have taken back to the motel with me twice. She sends me line messages that she loves me and misses me, etc. I told her I am butterfly and see different women. I don't really want to see her again because of her messges. If not for them she is fun to be with. When I researched coming to thailand for the first time, 13 years ago, I read that women could be possessive if you barfined them. I never had that experience much until this trip.

I am going back to pattaya for a week in a couple of weeks. I think I will monger there more and not so much here. The busy part of phuket is a bit too far for me to drive at night, especially if I drink anything.

When I was here in phuket last winter, I met a woman who i liked being with. I barfined her most weekends and didn't really want to butterfly much. I haven't found anyone like that this time and really don't think I want to. Katherines has pretty girls there, but I like to get girls long time, overnight and that is expensive at katherines. That said I think katherines is the way to go for me. I am here for 3 more months so maybe high season will change things for the better.

The girl I was was with last night does not have to work today because her bar is going to be closed. She didn't know if other places would e the same. So at least some bars in phuket are going to be closed. Though that bar is not in a big touristy place.

Anyone know what to expect with mother's day coming up? A FL told me since the 12th falls on a weekend it's observed on Monday instead. Would this impact availability of attractions both inside and out of the hobby? I was planning on seeing the Palace during the day and hitting up the bars at night but it seems like both of them might be closed.

Thanks in advance.

If I am getting a regular massage, no sex wanted or offered, would I have my underwear on or off? I just want a massage and nothing more and am at a place where nothing more is offered.

I must be the only one here that gets nekkit for a foot massage. I always decline the pajamas.

For an oilie you would always take your underpants off. For a thai masssage you would keep your underpants on and they would even dress you in pyjamas.

This isn't a forum about basic education but since you ask: In a legit massage place yes you are supposed to cover your nudity either with the provided underwear or if you are not confortable wearing them, you are meant to put on towel on your waist.

Simplest solution may be to subscribe to ooma.com - one time payment. Buy their VOIP device, {Telo-$100, wifi Telo - $130} activate it in the US and get assigned a US number of your choice {within constraints} and lug it around to any part of the globe with an internet connection. Attach a phone handset to it and you are home free. Receive and make high quality calls as if you are within the US. You have a better range of options if you subscribe to their Premier service.

Wow, this seems pretty cool. Let me verify I got this right. I get the AIS package and throw that in my personal phone. I have an android, but more than likely, it will still work. I go in my android, set up a hotspot and that would be what I would utilize when logging in, then doing my work on the company laptop. According to what you are saying, not only is the connection faster than wifi, but it also sounds like it's much more secure, because I'm not sharing my hotspot with other people. Huge benefit! Before I go to Thailand and buy the AIS, I would need to get a local phone number here in USA with google or Skype. If google, VPN is a requirement, so VPN would need to be installed on the phone. I currently have PureVPN, but it's only on my personal laptop, so it will need to be on my personal phone as well. When you say "subscribe to a VPN so I can access the American number", does this mean you have to stay logged in to the VPN in order to make / receive calls? I may go the Skype route as mentioned by you and Franga, but just wanted to ask.

It seems that after all this, I should have my business phone number be forwarded to this new local number and that should be it, huh?

I had fire and ice done to me for the first time about 30 years ago in Pahrump, Nevada. Can't remember the name of the brothel. I've had it done several times since and I've always liked it. I still have the red rope trick on my bucket list. I hear it's only available in China if at all.

Alexis in Jakarta used to have that service till they sadly shut shop a few months ago due to political and religious pressures. I have been fortunate enough to partake in the past.

I hear it is available in China but I am yet to experience it there.

Any gel that has Menthol or its Synths will give similar cooling sensations.

Hah,

I've never had the mint thing before. It sounds. Interesting. Definitely worth a try, minus the flavor explosion.

The girl I used. To see years ago, it was just a warm tea, and then a gel. The gel was cool / cold. I don't know what kind or where she got it from. And it was not "mint". Just the physical snesation of hit and cold. Maybe ice cubes would work as well, or cold water. But seriously that gel stuff. It was just fucking perfect. I'm telling you guys, if you have not had it before, just know there is an experience out there like no other!

I never had fire and ice but there is a physiological reason to increase erection, as with a good sucking blow job, if ice cold and warm liquids are used. In sports some use it to increase blood circulation to help healing. The increased circulation should give you a harder boner. Will offer an iced drink and coffee to a girl next time.
