His post was indeed quite good, would love to read more of his posts.

That's the main reason they love farang.

I thought they love farang baht. Most farang cannot speak Thai and are below average looking.

On the Darkside there aren't any GoGo's as you noted the majority of them are small business even before the virus how they stay opened was anyone guesses, these were paying 10,000 to 15,000 baht a month just for salons and massage shop. Sure this isn't big money compared to the rent in town

I met a massage chick on WeChat a couple of weeks ago. She tried to get me for 500/hour to come over. No fucking way. Shop closed. So that means no shop to split the money with. You keep 100%. I pay you 200/hour. She gave in. Then she tried to send someone else. What is happening is that her and other girls from her shop are running the massages from the dating apps while the shop is closed. I said no way.. I want you to come, not someone I have not seen.

I had her stay 2 hours. When I tell you there were no extras on this menu. Even when I got up between hours to go to the toilet she ran clear to the other side of the room. I guess she thought I was going to try to attack her or something. Anyway, the shop she works at is on Walking Street. She said the rent for their shop is 150K/month.

Wonder why all the mixed Thai girls who look like white girls are more expensive than the others. Recently, I paid 2000 each for GFE service from these TF girls, when the others charged 1000-1500.

They are not more expensive. You pay what you negotiate. The other day a chick told me 2000 for LT. I told her 1000. She immediately said okay. When she got here I asked her why she said 2000. She didn't say anything about her skin. She said because that is what guys at the Indian discos give her. Next time they come over ask them about their pricing strategy instead of us trying to guess at it.

Great points about travel restrictions and policies enforced by Thailand for tourists which will play a big role for economy. I've a feeling and just a feeling, that government will make very tourist-friendly policies to attract as many as possible. Things are already starting to open quicker than expected, and numbers of case are way down officially other than the spike we had the other day.

Which kinds of businesses? Smaller ones were expected but bigger ones can pay couple of months of bill, so if they're closing down, that would be surprising. And as far as I know, other than couple of gogos on WS, nothing has been closed officially by now. But the numbers of gogos will close with a much quicker rate if the usual low-season turned out to be too low.

On the Darkside there aren't any GoGo's as you noted the majority of them are small business even before the virus how they stay opened was anyone guesses, these were paying 10,000 to 15,000 baht a month just for salons and massage shop. Sure this isn't big money compared to the rent in town but relative to the poor since that is the majority of Thais in Thailand reason leaders are trying to open things up.

When I drove around yesterday tough to really tell when it comes to Beer Bars but the quick look when there is no furniture stool etc empty box that is an indication and my drive down Soi 7-8, along Soi Buakhao area looks bleak. When you got cheap hotels many closed even one or two being torn down that is a lot of jobs for locals. When it comes to GoGo, it is impossible to tell until the ban is lifted on them my prior guess was 30% we will have to wait to see if I'm right or wrong.

Prior to the Virus I had just done a new map and listing for a friend on the Darkside for bars when the ban is lifted I will not have to travel and check who is actually open and close.

Thai's love the lighter skin..............

That's the main reason they love farang.

You're assuming that many countries are going to trust WHO (the Chinese PR organization) for deciding who to allow entry in. I already know many European countries won't be allowing Chinese anytime soon, good for our FKK friends, less Chinese there. But less Chinese there means, more in Thailand. Which is not great for me and for many others. Most probably they will hike up the prices moment they come and larger their numbers the higher will be the effect. Just one of the scenario.

I don't think many European countries will be attractive to most foreign tourists for quite sometime given the high numbers of infection.

Chinese are market price spoilers, that I agree.

That's an assumption that cannot be made. Most countries only report "confirmed" cases (for whatever definition of "confirmed" they use), so the figures do not reflect the actual number of infections. In a recent test of a representative sample of people in Belgium, 4.5% of those tested had corona virus anti-bodies in their blood, so must have been infected at one time or another. 4.5% of the Belgian population is a little over 500 000, yet Belgium only officially reported less than 50 000 confirmed cases. So there is a good argument to be made that the actual infection rate may be 10 times as high as the confirmed infection rate reported. Much will depend of course on how intensive these tests are being done. Except for countries such as South-Korea, Singapore or the worst hit areas in China, testing is nowhere near what is needed to get a good view on the actual spread of the infection.

Thailand, with almost 70 million people, will have much more than the less than 3000 "officially" infected people. How much will be the real value? That's anybody's guess.

I think you meant to write 'how extensively these tests are being done'. Your point is spot on: widespread testing is the key to real good info.

Thai's love the lighter skin, just look around at how much skin whitening creams and make-up are on sale.

Absolutely true. I remember going to movies in Thailand and watching all the ads before the movie started. The ads only showed young, very light skinned Thais. Not a darker, Isaan complexion ever was shown on the screen.

No idea about local Thais but definitely in KL, where they are considered exotic / preferred. Just search for any KL escorts site and see Thai girls pictures, you will understand what I am saying.

If they do not allow Chinese, what about Americans?

I'll guess China, Korea, Japan are first in. USA and UK will be last in. Europe will be just before USA and UK. Even though Russia is going to down the tubes in this they will be ahead of the rest of Europe because Thailand loves the Russians.

There's always been a lot of bickering on a non-hobby board that Farang are unwanted in Thailand. The order Thailand opens up to foreign travelers will speak volumes on who Thailand wants in their country the most and, more importantly, who they don't want.

Once upon a time I spent 3000ST, 1500 BF, 1000 on drinks for this girl. Now she runs 2000, but does more freaky things because her options for customers is quite limited. So I introduced her to my friend, the "shocker" with a "snap. " What a champ!

[MonkeyPaw]

1500 plus 200 tips for GFE experience but was really picky and this was the first time an online girl screened me. She was one of those who rarely "reply to messages" and I feel judged. But everything worked out just fine. Probably best natural body I've seen from a girl online.
