Bangkok Reports

[EihTooms]

So, this part caught my eyes relative to everything else. Some lessons and some more details around this will be much appreciated I guess.

Not sure I can offer much in terms of lessens on that. I have been living in Bangkok for 12 years. But in all those years I have been adamantly opposed to finding a soulmate, life partner or even something of less commitment as a live-in girlfriend. I most definitely did not move to Thailand for that. I could have stayed in the USA if that was my goal. If anything, I left USA to "escape" the need or practicality of such a thing. LOL.

But I'll be damned if right as I was turning 70 years old I didn't meet a sweet, cute mid-20's girl, yes a university student, regular girl, not a bargirl, no kids, very fluent in English, great for me in bed, who was apparently smitten enough to want to make me very happy and that's all there has been to it really. She knows why I moved here. She knows my real age. It doesn't seem to matter to her. Or her family, all of whom live in Thailand too and none of whom needs or wants my money. Shockingly.

Right place at the right time and the right girl, I guess.

Start by being a long term Western expat in Thailand. Thats the detail you can't leave out.

Yesterday I was locked out on 2 of my 3 devices, but the 3rd device worked fine. VPN didn't make any difference, though Thailand was not one of my VPN choices. Today, all 3 of my devices work fine with FIWFANS.VIP.

Yes, I just tried without VPN and was able to access FIWFANS. Thank you for the heads up.

It's the same for me. It was temporary glitch due to the attack mentioned I suppose. Good to hear about the various possible fixes for when there is such a glitch again though.

And since I am now living with a sweet regular, non P4 P university girl honey

Recently, came across the instagram profile of an escort (random luck) who is listed at one of the escort agency's site. I have a chance to approach her directly and ask her line ID. Could save me at least half of my money. What are the odds of her giving me her line ID? Might be a stupid question, but I am just curious.

What's the worst she's going to do? Say no or block you? I wouldn't bother to even think about it for a second before sending her a message if I were interested.

From reading their telegram groups it appears they had a DDOS attack yesterday in instituted some new security measures including cloudflare.

I have flown Turkish business class from the UK to KL and BKK a few times in the last 4 years. Yes, their prices are probably the best for business class to SE Asia from the UK but, for me, it is an indicative price for what you get. The in-flight service and the lounge in IST are very good but the business class seat from IST to KL / BK on the B777 is more like premium economy than business class. The B777 cabin is 2-4-2 layout and this is only possible due to how narrow the seats are, not comfortable. I last flew with them January this year and swore it to be the last time until they get a new business class seat.

Thanks for that review. I was concerned with business class seat comfort even when I bought my November 2023 flights. My flights are a combination of 777 (2-3-2), A330-300 (2-2-2), and 787-9 (1-2-1 staggered with 2-1-2). None as bad as the 2-4-2 configuration that you had. YouTube makes the 777 and A330-300 look equivalent while the 787-9 looks a bit more comfortable.

Dude I have a really good idea, why don't you ask for her line and see what she says? I bet you it's 50/50, or maybe 60/20, or even could be 40.

Turkish Airlines seems to be forgotten by many, but their prices are normally a bit lower than the competition. They don't get the consistently high reviews like Qatar or Emirates or some others, but I'll be flying them next trip to save some money. They also have a deal where you can pay a bit more money and get 2 economy seats for a bit more comfort at a much lower price than business class.

After reading this, I tried to access and the message said I am blocked. I cleared the cache, cookies and history and tried, still the same result. I am using Chrome to access this site.

Then I tried the VPN and chose Thailand as location.

Boom no issues, I can access the site with no issues. So it is either looking at your IP address, location or both. I will later try different location and see how they are blocking access.

I didn't do much reserch, but here is a short update. I tried Miami as my location. My actual location is North East. Blocked again. Switched to Sydney Australia, No issues. So it is more about your region than just IP address. I do not want to experiment much since I now know how to leap over the blockage.

You have not been blocked! Just use a different browser and you will be able to use it again. If you had been blocked by Fiwfans, you will get a notice page hosted on Fiwfans, not a page like this.

I think it is a security feature adopted by Fiwfans, it won't work sometimes when you click on Fiwfans link from a different webpage like ISG. If it is Chrome/Safari (usually works in Firefox), just clear everything once and copy and paste the link in your browser, don't click on it.

Hope it helps.

Thanks much for that info! At this point changing my VPN location from USA to Thailand seems to fix it even though simply disconnecting my VPN while I live in Thailand did not. But I will try your suggestions next time if the VPN solution stops working.

Ah, you and Goatscrot were on the right track. Changing my VPN location from USA to Thailand fixed it.

Thanks much!

Interestingly, I had simply disconnected my VPN previously and that didn't fix it even though I live in Thailand. Only setting my VPN specifically to Thailand fixed it. And I had been using a VPN set to USA location, Chrome and all the other potentially problematic settings for years with no issues accessing the fiwfans site until just this week.

Another weird and mysteriously related bit; just yesterday my sweet little university student regular live-in girlfriend jokingly complained on her Instagram page that she is suddenly receiving Fiwfans ads on her newsfeed and that she does not need or want them! LOL. No idea what that is about.
