General Reports

It's hard to recommend since most of us do not need a tour guide. Most Hotels sell tourist tours. They provide a guide. Palace has guides on site.

Some tourist tours are rather bullshit though IMO, e.g. Floating market and Rose Garden, Bridge on the river Kwai, etc. being efficient is more about doing enough research beforehand to know what things are really worth doing. Not about having a guide with a different agenda to lead you up the garden path. Most tours are padded and take too much time however. Maybe a private guide can work if you are clear what things you want to do and that you have little time to do them.

For mongering purposes you need a buddy who knows a wide variety of places, or research the forum, and use Google maps to find where all the target venues are located. I don't see how a girl can help with mongering type exploring.

If me, I would separate tourist things with booking girls for sex.

I don't know if Pattaya has anything of interest for normal touristy tours. Ladyboy show? LOL

For Bangkok, key tourist attractions probably include Emerald Buddha Temple (Palace), Wat Arun Temple of Dawn, Siam Niramit cultural show, Jim Thompson's house, Crocodile farm and ancient model city (Meuang Booran), maybe the Wat Traimit (solid gold Buddha). Several of these have guides on site.

Thanks for your input, good advise- I am just trying to make the most of my time in BKK, and not be on a tour bus.

I really can't tell if a girl had nose surgery. I guess I don't pay enough attention to their noses. Their overall face is important to me. Syzygies' pics prove an important point. The girls wasted their money. Of all the pics only the two girls in nose2 improved their looks. The Asian girl in nose2 went from plain looking to hot IMHO. She made a good investment. What this proves to me is that girls should not get this surgery unless they have a truly awful looking nose.

Obviously those pics were not of the very worst nose jobs around, perhaps they were supposed to be good jobs, so some may not be so obvious to everyone.

Now examples of a really bad nose jobs. I have seen plenty similar in Thailand.

No problem at all. Even if 75% of the girls would suddenly decide to spend that evening with their boyfriends, there would still be enough talent available to keep you stressed for choice and exhausted.

Wolvenvacht,

Thanks for your valuable insight! Appreciate it! Kind regards.

My favorite girl look is the French girl with cute upturned nose. See pic.

Thai girls seek to make the bridge of the nose higher, reason unknown (but to look more western). Also to lessen width of very broad noses or shrink a bulbous tip. Some pics of nose jobs are included. I agree with a nose fix, where the girl, really has some problem that really needs fixing.

I wonder what percentage of nose jobs are really an improvement? O.K. The Farang? girl in nose2 pic fixed her hook nose, the remaining girls merely changed from looking natural to looking strange or unnatural. Not an improvement for me. A couple look like aliens or ladyboys (e.g. girl 7).

Does everyone disagree with me, and I am the weird one? Are changed noses invisible to everyone else? I do see that most guys just accept the nose enhancements and don't see the big impact on the looks.

Please try to disregard the big eye effects in the photoshopping, also not making girls any prettier for me.

In most pairs of pics, I prefer the natural look in the first pic of the pair, in preference to the altered artificial looks.

I will be in BKK and Pattaya in Feb. To be the most efficient in BKK, I would like to engage a tour guide to show me around for a few hours. Several days perhaps, Can anyone recommend a tour guide. This person could also provide sensual services as well, but I don't want to pay an hourly rate for an Escort or FL when I am standing in line looking at a Temple or Palace.

Thanks for your support.

There are women on craigslist who advertise that way. I'm pretty sure you'd have to pay quite a fee for that but you could ask. The basic economics have evolved over the years here to be mostly about a short time experience, followed by another and another, etc etc. So long time of any sort can get expensive. You might hook up with a wing man here to help you get your bearings. Post in the Travel Announcements Only thread for that.

Hey guys,

I am planning my second trip to Thailand in 2017.

I wanted to know if there was any issue with planning it around 10th Feb to 19th of Feb.

Valentines day (14th Feb) is falling in that trip. Is there any cause for concern regarding the availability of talent at that time?

Regards,

TheTank.

That time frame it is also within the range of Chinese New Year. One ask it is Chinese I'm surprise all many Thai celebrate Chinese New Year, it seem more popular than home. The air traffic if you take Eva can be heavy between Taipei and Bangkok, play around with the dates and you might see the fare during this period higher on certain dates?

I think a lot of bars have V Day themes around the 14th.

I just checked. Both Korean Air and Eva are below $700 for Jan 15.

It depends on the dates selected and where you are coming from. My brother just recently purchased a ticket from the USA to Bangkok on Singapore Air flying mid January and the round trip ticket was only $831. Yes, the week prior to him flying was about double that price. I believe prices drop drastically when the kids go back to school.

Algorithms today rule the airfare strategies.

Airlines want to increase their yields, not only the Load Factors.

So they set lots of factors in the rates. These can change for the very same flight even during the same day.

They record destination events, happenings, type of passengers.

A huge melting pot and a day plus or minus may not only mark a time difference but a price difference too.

If you fly "via" somewhere you might get a better price as the main flight is not that busy and so the price is more convenient, still you might not get the final leg at a bargain price as that will factor in.

The airfares (major airlines, not low cost) to and back from BKK from nearby KUL, SIN, HKG are never really cheap.

It's thailand peak season now, no wonder air tickets are more expensive.
