Again the video's are out of the Philippines, maybe a different mindset for Thai girls vs Filipino girls. I know Thai's treat mixed children differently, look down on them so maybe that plays into what a Thai might say about a foreign boyfriend.

Is that why there are so many "mixed children" staring in various tv-shows, adds, etc. In Thailand? Thais may look down on the average foreigner (and if I were Thai, I think I'd do too, with all due respect), but except for in the higher stratums of Thai society (which I've not partaken in myself, even though I'm sure that will come as surprise to most everyone here), it seems "mixed children" are considered especially cute and adorable. I can only guess a much larger portion of them than pure Thai children grow up to become famous in some beneficial way. So I think you are wrong about that particular point.

Apart from that, I agree with what EihTooms said. The average Thai loves Thailand and is happy to stay in Thailand. The opposite applies to Filipinos, who will view a foreigner, virtually any foreigner, as a chance to get out of their hell-hole country.

Ran across two youtube video's that are based in the Philippines but might be an interesting view for guys surfing the Thailand forum. In both countries there are girls who specifically look for foreign guys for serious relationships. I've never seen anything like these where a local girl asks another local girl what she thinks about foreigners and if she'd want a foreign boyfriend. Some of these girls are pretty cute. Have to wonder what a local Thai girl might say to these questions, a province girl not one who's living and working in a city like Pattaya. We've all seen payforplay girls over several nights and many have had the conversation turn to it becoming a serious relationship, how she'd take care of us when we get old. Many look at it as 'dating' even though money is being collected for said services. Money always gets involved any way you look at it.

I would be more interested in how Thai or Philippine girls respond to those questions when there is no foreigner conducting the interview, handling the microphone, manning the camera or anywhere around at all. Just have another girl from their own country present and asking the questions while only appearing to record it on audio, not video (video record with a hidden camera).

I think that is the best way to get the most candid, honest and complete answers to those kind of questions, least influenced, good or bad, by the presence of a foreigner right in front of them.

Naturally, voice-over or subtitled translations would be required. The girls are going to answer more readily and fully in their own language anyway.

Doing it the way they did it in that first video is pretty much worthless, imo. They admitted they didn't get much value out of it as well.

On the issue of whether or not Thai girls would answer differently than Philippine girls, I think there was one instance that rang familiar to me (it's been a couple of decades since I have been to the Philippines). That was when the Philippine girl indicated one thing she liked about dating a foreigner was that she really wanted to move from the Philippines and live in whatever foreign country.

I don't think many Thai girls feel that way. I remember Philippine girls always talking about their dream being to someday live in America. But not Thai girls.

Generally speaking, Thai people really like Thailand, like being Thai, like Thai culture, like eating Thai food every day with other Thai people and don't give much of a shit about other countries. They have little or no interest in living somewhere else.

Thai people going somewhere else for a vacation? Great. Count them in. But to move out of Thailand and live somewhere else, especially in the West? Not so much.

Streetmeat Asia porn site were big back then with naughty Nigel and monkeyman. Nigel died a few years back but don't know what happened to monkeyman who named because he was very hairy.

Peeasianporn site vanished as well, their videos were time limited and deleted themselves so none still exist.

I heard last March on another site that "Mac Horn" committed suicide.

Alright, so I came across some videos on PornHub of these guys who made these videos about mongering in BKK and Pattaya in the 90's and they were selling tours and teaching people how to retire there. They were cheesy as hell, but they were probably about as good as it got for a mid-90's indie project in Thailand. Interesting to look back on what things were like 20-30 years ago before everyone had a camera. Anyhow, I'm curious, what happened to these guys? I did some Google searching and I can hardly find any information. It looks like there was a 60 Minutes interview with one of the guys in 1996 about his book, but other than that, it looks like there were some crusaders out for their heads and then nothing. Does anybody know anything about these dudes?

Peter V. Stanton aka Mac Horn aka the Asia Answerman (His Santa Monica company was PVS Publishing. The address is a UPS Store now.) Wrote the book: A Gentleman's Guide to the Exotic Women of Southeast Asia and maybe another one called Thailand 2000.

Eric Dexter is the guy in the videos explaining things.

Not sure if they had anything to do with ExoticThaiVacations (it's watermarked on their PH videos) or TheManTour, but it was the same business idea.

I'm just curious what happened. They seem to have just vanished. Did they just abandon the business? Did the crusaders get them? Were they into nefarious things and get arrested? Something else interesting?

I bought some of their books and VHS videos when I was vacationing and mongering regularly in Asia during the 90's and already planning to retire early and live here. I didn't pack and bring the books with me when I finally did move to Thailand about 8 years ago but I did think to transfer some of my favorite VHS videos of theirs to DVD. I suppose I still have them somewhere in a storage box in a closet or cabinet around here.

I enjoyed them. I would often see "Beautiful Asian Girls" pop up and featured in their videos that I had fucked on one of my recent vacations to the Philippines or Thailand in those days.

I happened to run into both of those guys in Angeles City around that time, sitting in Margarita Station cafe on Field Ave. Just enough to tell them I was a fan of their books and videos, chat a bit about the scene at the moment and so on.

As I recall, either one or both of them got banned from Thailand for what they showed in those videos. Or almost were. I could be wrong about that. But I assumed the trouble was one reason they stopped producing any videos because they both were trying to live a life of leisure in Asia.

Oh, the other thing was the funny, chubby one with a mustache (don't remember the name he used) pitched a plan to live for the rest of your life in the Philippines or Thailand in one of those videos. And the centerpiece of the plan was to get together $100,000 USD and put it in an interest bearing account or stock market fund of your choice, whatever. Then all you had to do was pull out about $10,000 USD per year, which in those days was enough to squeak by on rent, food and some GF and paid pussy in those countries. In fact, maybe just $90,000 USD would be enough.

Of course, in his scenario the bank interest, stock market or whatever would always grow to replace that $10,000 USD every year, your initial $100,000 or maybe $90,000 USD would never really diminish much, costs in those countries would never really rise much, you'd never need to fly out of those countries or pay for medical issues in your old age and viola, you're set for life! Easy Peasy! LOL.

That was in the mid 1990's, before the Bear Market Crash of 2001, the bigger Bear Market Crash of 2008, etc.

Actually, those guys did cross my mind in the 2000's because I honestly wondered how their initial $100,000/$90,000 USD Life Retirement Income base was working for them by then. And by now since the USA stock market has had 2 Bear Market Crashes and essentially gone nowhere over the past 2 1/2 years.

I've never been to Pornhub and don't know the guys you mentioned. My guess is they just got old, got tired of the p4 p scene every night, maybe made their money, and got out.

Unfortunately, most of the really old trailblazers died out. Either litterally from drinking themselves to death or figuratively from making enemies of the wrong people and being forced away. A significant number also found them selves on the wrong side of the law and in jail or banished for good. Drugs, gangbang rings or too much of a good thing feature highly.

This a shame that not many lasted to tell their stories because I'm sure they would have had many to tell. 😁.

My Thailand experience started with visiting a now defunct website called Travel and the Single Male (TSM) back in the mid-late 90's. They would occasionally schedule meet ups in Thailand. I attended one of those on my first trip and met some of the guys to hit the gogos together. Best trip ever. Do we have any TSMers on ISG? The website owner made a ton of money (I believe) on that website but got into trouble over some negative reporting that was false and misleading. He was permanently barred from returning to Thailand. He is the only one I know that got into trouble but surely there were others.

Yes. Look for policies geared towards resident expat workers who travel.

I have Cigna expat insurance but it isn't cheap. I have evacuation coverage included in mine which is quite a bit of the premium but you may not need it. World Nomads is a popular one.

[Goferring]

Is there health insurance that can be acquired that would allow you to move from country to country without having to sign up for different policies? For example if you wanted to stay in Thailand for three months and then move to the Philippines for three months and then move back to Thailand for a short time.

[Lucky Nuts]

Can I visit the Bangkok Thai Immigration Bureau office and pay the 1900 baht fee to extend my visa another 30 days the same day I arrive Thailand resulting in a 60 day total? Or only at the tail end of the first 30 days winding down? Can anyone speak from experience how long the process takes at the Bureau office?
