General Reports

[MetalHorn]

There's a question I've been thinking. Please share if you know about it for general knowledge so that everyone knows. How do porn videos like Creampie Thais, Asian street meat, etc. In Thailand can film with ladies even though they are not porn actress? The reason why I asked is I want to film for my own memory. I have no intention to share them with anyone else since I can't do it because of my career. I am pretty sure that a large of amount of money is paid to the ladies to appear in the video right? I've tried paying a lot to the ladies that I took home but all of them refused to film them. So I've been wondering how do those people get the ladies to film porn video? Where do they get those ladies from?

2 nded, I love my schwab account. I also have a state farm bank account as well as they refund fees as long as you use direct deposit. I only put like $100 a month in that way which is enough and they refund fees.

This is an easy one. Get a Charles Schwab bank account. There is no ATM fees ever!

Thanks gents, good thoughts. I had forgotten about the reports of distinction. Are the monger guide books also available in Bangkok bookstores? I'll definitely make it to Nana Plaza.

Try the "Asia Books" chain. There are a few on Sukhumvit (even side) between Nana and Asoke and in Terminal 21. There is a very big bookstore (with a Japanese sounding name) in Emquartier mall and Siam Paragon. They have a huge selection of English language books and if my memory serves me right there were some of the books you're looking for ("No money, no honey" and "Private Dancer").

If you have an e-reader, you can buy some of these on the Internet and download them. On my e-reader I have:

* Thailand After Dark, by James Newman.

* How to get the most bang fo your buck in Thailand & How I got the most bang for my buck in Thailand, both by M. Schwartz.

Spend some hours in the Reports Of Distinction.

In Pattaya at any of the books stores their are books written by mongers. I think one is called no money no honey. To main in rules is always use a condom because in my experience 95% will go bareback and second never leave and send the money thinking you are their boyfriend.

There seems to be some confusion among some board members on the exchange rates. The following applies to the US dollar and US banks.

If you subtract the Foreign ATM transaction fees of 200 Baht and do not have any other fees from your bank, you will not beat the exchange rate you get from your ATM debit card. Same thing applies to Visa and Mastercard.

At the currency exchange shops, there is a buy and sell rate. Better shops will have smaller spreads. The ATM debit card will give you the best possible buy rate. Last week, this exchange rate was the same as the TT currency exchange shop rate in Pattaya. The exchange shops need to make money; there should not be a place with a better rate.

When you arrive at BKK airport, there is collusion with all the currency exchange shops. They all have the same bad rates. For example, last week, the buy/sell cash rates at the airport were 32.XX/35.XX when it was 34.XX/35.XX outside the airport..

A couple years ago I made a quick business trip to Thailand but was with other people and couldn't slip out for any fun. In February I'll be making another trip where I will have some limited free time to do as I please. I'll be in various Thailand locations but will not be able to get to Thailand's crown jewel, Pattaya.

Between now and February I'll be reading many reports from this forum. But I was wondering if there is something to read that introduces a newbe to the hobby in Thailand, I'd like to read that first.

Thanks in advance.

But the exchange rate you get with the ATM at the airport will be the best possible rate you can get. The currency exchange shops cannot affect the exchange rates on the ATM which is on that international banking system. The ATM exchange rate at the airport was the same as the TT currency exchange shop in Pattaya. That chain seems to have the best rates in Pattaya.

Some people reported bad rates using the ATM. Those people probably are accounting for the foreign ATM transaction fee of 200 Baht, possible foreign transaction fees, and possible junk fees from their own banks. As reported many times, if you get the best ATM cards, these fees are avoided.

Here is the equation you need to use to get the exchange rate (assuming you are refunded the 200 baht fee and assuming you have no other fees from your bank):

(Baht amount you take out + 200 baht fee) divided by (amount you are charged from your bank).

The above also applies to the Angeles ATMs.

"Thailand is closed to sex trade', says country's first female tourism minister".

"Thailand has promised to eradicate its notorious sex tourism industry as it attempts to reinvent itself as a female-friendly travel destination.

Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, the country's first female tourism minister, made the pledge following a series of police raids on Thai brothels last month, amid concerns over human* trafficking and [CodeWord902] sex workers.

"We want Thailand to be about quality tourism. We want the sex industry gone," Ms Kobkarn told Reuters.

"Tourists don't come to Thailand for such a thing. They come here for our beautiful culture."

Ms Kobkarn began her drive to clean up Thai tourism's image soon after arriving in office in 2014, singling out the seedy resort city of Pattaya as a pilot project for the country at large.

Pattaya has more than 1,000 bars and massage parlors, many of which are fronts for illegal brothels.

But last month's police raids, in which police closed down a high-profile Bangkok massage parlor and arrested more than 100 sex workers employed there 15 of whom were [CodeWord902] could mark a turning point for the industry."

I do have the Tender app and I guess I will try that when I get out there ... Searching for girls on Soi 6 or in the bars is fun, but sometimes too much work!

So I am missing something on how to find girls for fun on Thai Cupid for the Pattaya area?

Try Badoo. But note, most venues require some form of "work" (effort) on your part to find the right girl and bring her up to your level of satisfaction. I call it the hunt and I enjoy that part of the game. Social media sites require a good deal of investigatory & preparation "work" and result in a fair number of letdowns for every gem you find. If Soi 6 is to much "work" for you, try the BJ bars. No effort is required there. Just walk in and smile. You don't have to lift a finger.

I had some luck on OK Cupid finding nice, legit Thai women, of the marrying kind I mean. Two have become very close and one I have visited several times now and we have become quite fond of each other, though I continue to play. Never found a freelancer on OKC howerver.

Likewise, I have not cracked the code on Thai Cupid. I am older but figured that the freelancers would make themselves known by how they dress for their pictures and that they are young yet searching for men up to 75! I have only identified a couple who meet this profile, and my messages to them have been ignored. About all I get are messages and interests from ladies over 40 who want love and that, duh, is not what I am looking for in a girl from near Pattaya. I am not going to monger in Bangkok so I have not looked there

I will be in Pattaya next week for about 2 weeks and was trying to set up some meetings, but I have nothing!

14 July 2015.

"Bangkok – Customs department Director General Somchai Sajjapong has reported that Thai and foreign tourists are now allowed to bring in with them personal belongings worth 20,000 baht into Thailand with no import tax from earlier fixed at 10,000 baht."

"The increase in the value of personal belongings brought in by both Thais and foreigners into the country with import tax exemption is now in force."

How can those numbers be so small? Many people's laptop alone cost more than 10 or 20 K baht.

I expect every day 1000's of visitors to LOS are failing to declare when they should be.

BTW I always walk the "nothing to declare" path & in all my visits to LOS have only been called to have my belongings checked once. Paid no fine.

I have 3 girls on Line that show an obvious significant other and I'm certain my compilation of Line/Facebook ID's is much fewer than yourself. A bar girl with a Tomboy, a gogo girl and a Soi 6 girl with a boyfriend.

Keep in mind that these girls can go to elaborate lengths providing you with a fake Facebook, Line, etc. account.

edit - I went back to check the Line and Facebook accounts for the 3 girls. Only one showed a partner on Line. The other 2 had no photos of partners on their Line ID's but pics all over on their Facebook accounts.

I have 9 current Thai fuck buddy type girls on my LINE, Is that a lot? Perhaps not. One or two maybe struck off soon. One got a boob job and haven't seen the result yet. Only 3 or 4 are really important girls.

Yes that is more like what I expect.

Some girls don't try to hide boyfriends and seem as honest as a hooker can be, while others are very vague about their personal life, and the third set are the clear bullshit artists.

One of my girls at CH, I don't trust at all, as I know very well she spins stories at times. Yet other girls seem very straight forward and reliable.

When a girl tells you how her boyfriend wants her to meet his mother, and she is just about ready to dump him, I do squirm a bit, and think: "Too much information". A bit like when my boss would tell me who is going to get fired very soon, well before that person knows anything.

She did not tell me of course, how many other backup boyfriend contenders there were.

While girls hate men that are liars almost universally, I don't hate girls that tell a little bit of bullshit, provided they don't overdo it. There is nothing more boring than weird girls who are constantly bullshitting like more than 50% of the time. I prefer not to ask probing questions that might be fed bullshit. I just don't need to know much other than when is the girl reliably available.
