Hello everyone, i'm planning my first trip to the east of this "world".

I'm not new to the game but, as u can see from my post, i'm more into the CSI style.

I'm reading all ur post, and lurking nice and important info. I'm thinking to visit
Bangkok - Pattaya and then fly for a couple of days to Hong Kong by the end of feb or march, is it a good period?

I'll not only p4p but i want it to be an extra of the holiday so i'm planning to visit all there's to see in the area.

If some one is plannig something similar PM maybe we can have a beer o just share some ideas.

Happy NY
Matteo

LBM,

that's correct - I came to Bkk today and the taxis are now located at the arrivals level but same procedure as before (only the number of touts inside the hall seems to have increased). There are also signs indicating "public taxis". The driver suggested 400 Baht for the trip to Sukhumvit, which isn't too bad, but I let him use the meter (190 fare + 65 toll + 50 service charge + tip) ...

Yin Yang,

When I was at the airport in late November and trying to escape to BKK, for the night to monger I went down to the lowest level and noticed that the taxi stands were now gone. I went back up to the midlevel and noticed a taxi stand with a table and a few taxi lined up. Same process, indicate where you want to go and they give you a slip for 50 baht, and the next taxi up takes your bags. But indicated on recent post that you can catch taxi's on the same level you come out of immigration!

Good luck, LBM

Upon my arrival at the new Bangkok airport (Suvarnabhumi), I found that taxi's were not at the basement anymore, but at the same level than arrival. When you get out of the basement, you simply walk outside, then either to the far left or the far right. There are names for the exits of the main building, and taxi's are located at either exit 3 or 9.
...

Hi - can anyone confirm the current taxi situation at Suvarnabhumi arrival? When I went to Bkk earlier this year, they still had the rather convenient coupon system downstairs. Has it now been replaced by this (non-)system?

Thanks & a Happy New Mongering Year to all of you!

I was wondering if any ISG members could give me a liitle bit of direction.

Which brings me to another issue: cameras/security, etc.

Is it wise to keep "naughty" photos on your camera? Will airport security (or any kind of authority) go thru someone's camera?

In the spirit of Christmas, a non-typical non RTFF reply

Start with Report of Distinction's very very first post by Phuqar - his 5 day diary is still a classic. Then literally work your way up the same thread - subject topics fairly self-explanatory.

I personally never keep anything on my camera or memory cards - I download and then upload to a remote server. But I've also never been searched at customs...maybe because I travel with only w/ computer bag, carry on, and dress like I'm on business. If your only stop is LOS, and you dress like a slob, expect to be searched; others have reported being searched, including a their computer.

Pay jackson the subscription fee so that you can get pm.

Pay a visit to Giotto's Lodge thread.....guys there are 'usually' more helpful...LOL.

If you have additional questions, post them on the appropriate thread.

1) What kind of budget are you on?

2) Are you a 5 star hotel guy or a 1 star at the lowest price? In Bangkok you can find hotels in all the ranges.

3) What kind of experience do you want? Are you looking to hit the go-go bars, the massage parlors, the discos, the freelancers, etc.?

4) Do you want to stay in Bkk or go to Pattaya or one of the islands?

5) How long are you going to be there?

Budget is not a big issue for me, but I certainly do not wanna get ripped off! LOL. I'm going for about 6 weeks! I will go to Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui, etc. I wanna be as efficient as possible, and wanna make each day count. I'd rather go there with a laundry-list of places and bars to visit rather than do the hit & miss thing.

I'm more like a 3-4 star hotel type of guy. But what is more important is the fact that I wanna bring girls back to my hotel, so the hotel would need to be accomodating to allowing me to bring back girls!

In terms of the "experience I am looking for", I want to be with the younger, fitter girls. I want to hit the go-go bars and would like to also visit some freelancers. I would be intersted in incalls and outcalls. I don't know much about massage parlors, but I certainly am not looking for a massage. I'm looking for hardcore experiences, threesomes, foursomes, etc. Girls dressed in lingerie, high heels, stockings, uniforms, etc. I'm assuming the go-go bars and freelancers are the way to go, no?

Any recommendations on which go-go bars are the sure shots, as well as which incalls/outcalls in Bangkok (BKK? ), Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui.

Are there websites to these incalls/outcalls?

What are your opinions on Livingstones Sports Bar, and Secrets Bar???
Also, have you heard of Khmer Natyaba:

Or is she just a scam?

I feel like such a rookie re: the Thailand scene!

Hey guys,

I will be going to Thailand for the very first time in early 2008.

I've been into the "hobby" for over a decade! But again, this will be my first venture into the great East LOL

I was wondering if any ISG members could give me a liitle bit of direction. I know this is a pretty general post I am posting, but I was wondering if you guys can give me some sureshot recommendations. There are simply waaaay too many posts for me to go through in this forum. I don't even know where to start. I want to take tons of pix with beautiful ladies and share them with you also.

Which brings me to another issue: cameras/security, etc.

You are going to get lots of RTFF advice. Realistically you do need to read a bit to even know where to start. Basically there are lots and lots of options in BKK, but in order for anyone to help you we would need to know more about your circumstances.

1) What kind of budget are you on?

2) Are you a 5 star hotel guy or a 1 star at the lowest price? In Bangkok you can find hotels in all the ranges.

3) What kind of experience do you want? Are you looking to hit the go-go bars, the massage parlors, the discos, the freelancers, etc.?

4) Do you want to stay in Bkk or go to Pattaya or one of the islands?

5) How long are you going to be there?

I could go on and on. Hard to know what you want without some answers and truly, all the answers are right in front of you in the forum

I suggest you read through the forum and figure out a basic idea of what you are going to do and then start asking some specific questions.

As for the pictures on the camera, that also depends on who you are and where you return to where ever you return. I have never had a problem going back to the US, but then I am always on a business trip. If you fit the profile of a sex tourist, you might run into problems in some places. Once again, just do a search and you can find out how others have fared where you might be going back to.

I'm a fat man, I make no bones about it. I'm hitting the gym to improve my life as a whole, ....I know it's a sweltering tropical climate, so my intention is to travel light. Shorts, t-shirts, etc.

A lot of us are the same shape, if you just don't dress in a Singha Beer Tank Top or whatever and flip flops you should be fine. I think the girls care more if you wash and brush your teeth more then anything else. If you are going to be in the climate for a while invest in a warm weather pair of pants and shirts at a tailor shop. A nice pair of warm weather slacks and some shirts can go a long way and do travel light.

And as long as you have Baht-N-Ality you won't have any prob's.

[Member #2041]

Juan, if you are clean, and have cash, you will not have the slightest problem attracting cute ladies in Thailand. I am 5'8 and weigh 280 lbs, and I have no problem scoring the cute ladies. They may make jokes and rub my belly, asking if I am going to have a baby, but then they have no qualms about sucking my dick, letting me lick their pussy, and then fucking me absolutely silly.

[Freeler]

Pussy,

As long as your clothes are CLEAN and free of yukkie SMELL, you should be ok. You want to button up your shirt, tho. Knee length shorts are ok, but they have to be nice, not the flimsy, Hawaii colored kind.

Come to Thailand and enjoy!

[Txpsd777]

Well been lurking here for a few months when I started planning my trip to Thailand. Now that I am squared away and booked time to find a few expats to have a few drinks with while out playing with the ladies. I will be in Bangkok from January 10th.19th & in Pattaya at the Penthouse Hotel from January 19th. 24th. So if any fellow contractors from A-stan or Iraq will be in town during that time feel free to let me know and we can have a few brews.

[Tom1055]

Tom 1055,

I tried to send you a message. (wouldn't let me send you a message right now? ) I will be in p-land starting 1/20 for several days if you want to hook up for a beverage let me know.

Sorry Raptorea looks like we will just miss each other, I plan on being in p-land on the 18 and maybe 19. I will be in Bkk and Chiang mai before and after that.

I think only seniors can pm each other.

[Member #3428]

I arrive BKK in 1.5 days time so I certainly hope to catch you although may go to Phuket for a bit. GF has never been to Phuket yet. I'll send you my Bankok phone number later.
