Stud,

Brazilians are harsh, no fun, life is plain, food average, too much crimes in most cities.

Thais are genuinely kind, easy-going, more fun, food is diverse, creative and delish, cities are much safer. From BKK you can fly very cheap to many destinations in Asia with interesting and unique cultures.

Thailand wins.

Brazil taxes your worldwide income at 33% if you become a resident (over 183 days per year in the country).

...Yes I have been talking about random acts of kindness that people have done for me. I .....

I took the wrong bus in Salvador around 9 PM from the central station in Lapa, I did not know it was one of the most dangerous cities. I hopped on the bus in a hurry while it was leaving without checking carefully where it was actually going. I knew something was wrong when it started to go up and down the hills. LOL. The general direction was correct but the final stop was on a hill near a favela type neighborhood. I told the conductor where I wanted to go and asked if they could drop me off anywhere safe on their way back so I could get a taxi or Uber. They took me to a major street, then the conductor told me to get off and he ran to the middle of road to stop another bus that was going to my destination. I was amazed what they did for me. Another time I had to go from low city to high city and the elevator required a toll of are $0. 1. I had are $20 and I was dreaded to take the elevator because I did not bring change. They just waved me thru without paying. When I just arrived, occasionally I got a thumb up gesture from random people who cross my path. The first time I was thinking what he wants from me. LOL. Then I got used to the friendliness.

I went to a famous speakeasy bar around Recoleta, Buenos Aires. I was asked to sit on outside table and wasn't allowed enter the bar for whatever reason. I am not a drinker and I just wanted to checkout inside so I left stopped a short distance away to text a friend There was a homeless guy begging outside but no one gave him anything. I pull out a huge stack of bills and pull a few to give to him. Next thing I knew, some guy from the bar chased me down and invited me into the bar. He talked to the bouncer for a while then I was in. I am still wondering if it is related to that I gave money to the homeless because it's not the first time I tried to get into this bar.

I think Brasil is the best country in the World for our hobby. That said, for living somewhere (especially if you're say over 50), I'd probably go with Thailand. Brasil, like most of Latin America, is just too dangerous. While I've never been a victim, I've had some close calls. In both Brasil and Colombia. And the older one gets, the harder it is to dodge dangerous situations.

Take cabs door to door from clubs and termas. Try not to walk much at night in Brazil. Uber is cheaper, but it takes longer while you're sitting outside with your phone. Do that and you should be safe.

At StudPlayer: Have you considered moving out of Meddy into another location in Colombia? If you like latinas, how are you attracted to thai girls? Brazil is a higher cost and much higher reward country in my view compared to Thailand. Thailand has falling births, oppressive climate, serious political risks, dubious legal system, limitations to real estate ownership, banking, etc. It will be much easier to learn Portuguese and adapt to local culture than learn Thai. The sex scene in Brazil is top notch in all areas imagined.

I live in Thailand, but spend January in Brazil every year.

I am thinking of switching my holiday to Medellin next January, but the reports are very sketchy.

We all know the world has undergone radical changes since the advent of the internet and covid as has the world of paid (there is no unpaid) pussy undergone radical changes in the same period.

Twenty years ago when I first landed in Colombia it was a no brainer to move here in retirement.

Spacious Penthouse apartment in Provenza for usd 20 thousand. Clean air, clean water, clean young and abundant chicas everywhere on the street, little traffic etc.

Back then there were more chicas per square meter per second than you or anyone could have ever imagined.b

It makes today's Colombia look like a wasteland.

Choose your favorite. It is still better than sex prison.

Damn I am finally agreeing with Solo on something. I moved from Brazil to Thailand 14 years ago because things went downhill when they announced the Olympics and World Cup. I still visit Brazil often but I would not want to live there. Thailand is way cheaper too. My rent has been the same $125/ month for the last 14 years.

From Sao Paulo to Rio they play games with the price on that 50 minute flight making you pay $300 and $400 on some bullshit. In Thailand at anytime you can go online to Nok Air and get a $50 flight anywhere in the country. Spur of the moment me and this chick decided we wanted to take a trip the next day. Ticket was way cheap. Also cheap 3 hour flight from here to the Philippines if that place floats your boat.

I really like how it is service oriented here as well. Problem with my computer I can take it right up to the shop and they will be like we will call you back in 1 hour. Then it will cost like $10. Something wrong with my motorbike I can drive it up to the shop and they can fix damn near anything on it quick and fast and it will be like $6. Once I stood there 45 minutes while they damn near took the whole thing apart and put it back together.

Today I went and got a 3 hour real massage for $15. I also fucked the girl and with her tip for the massage portion was an extra $24. I will usually tip $1. 50 to $3 for each hour of massage. I sent that shit to her in a bank transfer too. That is another thing I like about here. Anywhere you go you can just scan with the bank app to pay. Then Lazada is like the Amazon of Thailand. Things I order arrive in like 2 days (unless it is coming from China) and in most cases it is 1/3 or less of the price of Amazon and it will be the exact same product.

Also here in Pattaya is full of expats so if you need advice or help or just want to hang out then there are thousands of people from all over the world.

Things change. That's just how it is.

Those days are just a legend now. You guys coming to Colombia today are just chasing a legend.

Today if coming for the first time I would decide not to live here (I have lived here for the last twenty years.).

Yeah it has been a good ride but it is over and time to move on.

People aren't afraid to come to Colombia anymore. That's why it was so great 20 years ago. My first time in Medellin was great. Second time was okay and third time, two years ago, sucked. If Colombians are allowed to come to America without major issues, then it's definitely over. These girls will see their worth after one day walking around Vegas Miami or LOS Angeles.

Brazil will always be a top destination. You can always count on their government being incompetent and screwing up everything. Copa will always be full of energy in the daytime, nice waves to boogie board or surf, cheap fruit drinks. Medellin is so boring in comparison. I will probably start going out there one month at a time in late 2024.

It's amazing how some Westerners will go to developing countries, try to mooch off the locals, getting free rides and stuff, and brag about it as if some great accomplishment. Parasitism comes in many forms.

It is really sad for someone to go around in life not being able to experience genuine generosity, kindness, and affection from others. The world is not all about money and not everyone needs or wants your money.

Time for more bragging. When I was in Egypt during Ramadan at the time to break fast random people invited me and my friends inside of their homes to eat with them. We do not speak Arabic and they did not speak English. We were just walking down a random street and a bell started ringing around 6 pm and people came out dragging us inside. The other day I took my pants for a minor repair here in Thailand and the lady said it would be FREE!

Yes I have been talking about random acts of kindness that people have done for me. I have never felt a need to talk about random acts of kindness that I do for other people. So maybe that is seen as mooching. Nevermind the border patrol agents I saw at the McDonald's at the Tijuana border. While other mfs are always angry and showing disdain towards them, gentlemen thanks for everything you do. Your food is on me.

Recently saw a guy with a weird haircut in line to pay at a barbecue restaurant. Hey man what branch? Army. Thanks for serving. Your money is no good here. Put his on my card. Seen five young airport workers buying ice cream at the Dairy Queen in the Hat Yai airport 2 days ago. Hey thanks for your hard work. That is on me!

What about the guy in Manila I saw living up against a building. He had carved out a little nook for himself. He had flowers in pots and everything. What caught my attention was that he was sweeping around his place trying to keep it clean. Here dude here is $20 to buy something for yourself. Good goes around. It is not a one-way street. Why do some Westerners feel they need to buy everybody or that life must be quid pro quo? Everybody is not a hooker that you must give money to in exchange for sex and that does not give 2 shits about you other than your money. Get out and live and get to know people and you will soon realize this.

It's amazing how some Westerners will go to developing countries, try to mooch off the locals, getting free rides and stuff, and brag about it as if some great accomplishment. Parasitism comes in many forms. In contrast, the Venezuelans arrive at host coutries with nothing but clothes on their back, work hard selling empanadas in the street, plus whoring, etc.

I talked to a Venezuelan working gal the other day, she claims she want to go the United States. She has friends who are currently crossing the Darien jungle gap, hoping to make it to Mexico then seek asylum in the US if they can make it to Ciudad Juarez. It seems this is the new trend among Venezuelans, to aim for the big time, the fabled US-of-A. News reports indicate that in the last year there has been a massive surge in Venezuelans (as well as Cubans) entering Mexico (as well as the US to lesser extent). Those who are able get to the US tend to go to Florida. Many Venezuelans not able to stay in the US are are settling in Mexico City. Perhaps we will not have to go all the way to Colombia to romance these Venezuelan cuties, Mexico City is shorter hop from the States.

Are there two Tantra's in medellin? I only know of one on ave 80.

I was responding assuming he was talking about Tantra Spa in Bogota since that is on Calle 72. Tantra bar is right next door to it.

Yeah it has been a good ride but it is over and time to move on.

Today there are more hombres (that means men for you all here who don't speak Spanish), gringos and locals, per square meter per second than is cool. Totally uncool here now. You walk down the crowded streets here now you are rubbing shoulders with men and only men.

You can do that in the states I hear.

You go out on the streets now in Colombia and you are surrounded by men. Yeah there are some old hag women here and there but you know, maybe you don't know, that's it.

That is not how it used to be. This place is a shadow of what it once was and won't ever be again especially with the new visa rules for Colombianas who can now travel freely to europe and usa and anywhere really. And they are leaving getting out of this third world country moving into harems in the arab world, into the Fkks of Europe, anywhere but Colombia now.

The girls have always wanted out and now they can go and they are going. And they have gone.

For this reason there is high demand and scarce supply of good looking chicas now in Colombia.

And the danger now of scopolamine is omnipresent. Some chica out of my past contacted me out of the blue I had to say no thanks. First she was old and used up and secondly why the F now does she want to come over to my house. No thanks.

For safety reasons, I will only go to casas now. For those of you who don't know, casas are the massage parlors like New Life and all the rest where now you no longer have fresh 18 year olds but only washed older women.

They still fuck but they are not the same as they used to be.

Same thing that happened to Costa Rica happened here starting about 10 or more years ago.

Aussie Greg said it about a decade ago when he wrote something to the effect that Colombia had become just another Costa Rica or to that effect.

So my question to those who might have recent knowledge: which is better taking into consideration distances, fun, governance, danger, freedoms, chicas, infrastructure, visa regulations, local health care, local health insurance, quality of life, etc, which is better for a us citizen, Thailand or Brazil and where specifically in each?

In all these categories above Colombia has gone to hell to the point I would not recommend anyone move here.

I have narrowed down my next move to either Brazil or Thailand and I will be renting an apartment long term where I decide to settle next. Any specific ideas? Place must be fairly new and have hot water, a real nice pool and good modern air conditioning. No third world shit.

Brazil or Thailand? I am leaning towards Brazil.

Which is cooler in temperature, Rio or S. P. ? Or your suggestion?

Tell me, tell us, your experiences.

And to make a positive contribution to this forum for anyone who just has to move to Medellin and buy an apartment my advice is to buy in el centro on the uphill side of Avenida Oriental where there are some nice places or over by Villanueva.

Choose your favorite. It is still better than sex prison.

[TjBrazil]

Why bother with mongering? I can think of a few reasons.

1. Especially as you get older, the free options tend to go downhill, or require too much time and effort. Although, in countries like Colombia, the options for free tend to be better and easier.

2. Minimal expectations from pros. They expect to be paid, that's about it. Free options often expect something more than just sex.

3. Less games and drama. At least usually.

Why did Beiber pay for sex. Why did tiger woods pay for sex. It's just easier even for them.

[LionBacker]

I've been multiple times in the last few weeks. And last year & early this year. I went today / Thursday to Spa and it was the same 50 k for 30 minutes as always. As of last week bar was 60 k for 30 minutes.

For an hour 100 k makes sense. But there's certainly no requirement for that. The jeffe at bar hassled me about not doing an hour one time, but the girl didn't care.
