Hi. Does anyone have any tips on finding freelancers? I kind of like the idea of finding a woman who isn't a full time bar girl, but willing to spend some time with a guy for some money and generally hang out a bit etc and maybe travel around a bit.

I'm not the youngest guy, and so quite happy with someone a bit older too. I know there are lots of divorced / seperated women around. I've tried Thai Friendly, but most there just seem to want serious relationships and I'm not interested in wasting my and their time.

Anyway, any thoughts and ideas welcome.

Gentlemen,

I am heading to Thailand for the 1st time ever.

While I do have to stay in Bangkok for much of the time, I do have a few free days.

Is it worth the added expense / time to go to Pattaya, or is it not worth the bother?

Also, it seems like I should budget about $100 a day for women. Is that accurate?

Thanks in advance.

On my last two trips I split it up spending a week in Bangkok and then a week in Pattaya. It felt as if I did not have time in either to do everything that I wanted. My next trip will be Pattaya only and I'll skip Bangkok as I'd rather go there. If I only had a few days to go elsewhere then I would stay in Bangkok but you might feel differently.

I'd say no on Pattaya and instead fly to Chiang Mai or to a beach and forget the girls for a few days and have fun as a tourist. If you really really just want to do gogos, Freelancers, or bar girls you can do Pattaya, but you can do all the same in BKK. Pattaya is a bit cheaper for girls than Bangkok, but after the expense of travel and time and issues, its not a big deal.

MPs in Bangkok are 2000-3000 baht for a 1. 5 - 2 hour session. Picking up a gogo girl for ST is roughly the same + a 700-1000 bar fine. Long time will be more. Freelancers are less. Plus drinking starts to add up no matter where you are.

All depends on how long your stay is and what exactly you want. I am going to be in BKK soon for 2 weeks and have no intention to go to Pattaya as I am sure I will be kept busy for the whole 14 days.

As for $100 per day, that's good for 1 lady for LT or 2 for ST. You need to budget bar fines and drinks too. PM if you need more advice.

All you need is your passport to enter. You will be asked to show your boarding pass and passport at the immigration desk. Thailand is now 100% open!

Thanks Allover!

[Vendelo]

The link you referenced is not to an official governmental website, and is out of date. The entry requirements changed beginning on October 1st.

It states right at the top of the website: "This website is managed by Siam Legal International. A law firm in Thailand"..

Thanks for the clarification. Does this mean the unvaxxed no longer need to test negative prior to arriving in Thailand?

Unvaccinated travelers (including children traveling with unvaccinated parents) will need to complete an RT-PCR or Professional Antigen Test (Pro-ATK) 72 hours before departing for Thailand. Proof does not need to be uploaded before traveling.

Can somebody please clarify what the requirements are for entering Thailand now? Post Oct 1 do you need to purchase or complete anything special for arrival for a short trip (less than two weeks)?

It feels like Thailand is open for tourists but I feel like I am missing something. Do we still have to buy special insurance or can we bring our own existing insurance.

Thank you to anyone who posts a reply. I may try a quick trip but confused about the reqirements.

I'm planning a trip to BKK and hear that weed is now legal,

You just walk outside and buy it. It is everywhere. I am sure some ladies smoke but that is not saying anything for the ones you may end up with.

[MichaelSamuel]

Same for me. Only ever traveled with 3 or 4 girls but moment we had to make plans they sent me their ID. With thai names would never book anything without seeing a picture of the official ID.

Yes that is really weird. Whenever I am traveling with a chick I tell her to send me a picture of her ID. You do not want to get the name wrong on the ticket. And many Airbnb ask for a copy of the IDs of the people staying before you arrive. I have so many IDs from chicks that I have made a folder for them in my phone picture gallery for quick and easy reference.

Joe Biden has said the pandemic is over. Who the hell is still asking for vaccine cards and tests?

Hello all! I'm planning a trip to BKK and hear that weed is now legal, but with some vague language about foreigners participating. Would anyone have insight into this? Do any of the ladies smoke? I hear some of the clubs allow smoking inside, but what about the street and hotel balconies and such? Stoned sex is awesome. I appreciate any tips. Thanks!

[Rodwint2]

Not sure if this is the right place for my question but.

I'm travelling to Bangkok early December and one of the items on my To-Do List is to have a suit tailor made.

I've looked through YouTube for ideas but I'm also open to suggestions or recommendation of the more.

Thank you!
