Well you can always have excuse of purchasing a led / lcd tv. Samsung series 5. 40'Led which cost 62k in india will cost 32k in Thailand. So thats a good excuse right.

[QUOTE=Princearain;1322140]Just tell her potential customer meeting in Thailand or better you are going to visit a hair doctor there? There is a very famous guy there whose name I forget. Just google. If you have a very thick hairline then think of something else.[/QUOTE]

Never ever thought about this risk, dude. Great. This is what it means by "experience counts than anything else"

BTW. Its a tricky situation. Potential customer meeting is a good excuse. All other advices welcome from successful experiences.

[QUOTE=LordVoldermort; 1322083]Dude,

Couldn't resist but to reply. Never make this mistake in your life. You need to be lucky enough to have a partner who has lost her grey matter, if you want to make her believe you are in India when travelling abroad. The reason for my statement is that the Mobile network works on a simple rule. It will catch the local network on the area you are in. So for example, you have told your partner you are in Bangalore and then you get into the network of kolkata, in case your mobile is busy / not reachable, the message is played in the local language, hindi and english. To make it simple if you are in karnataka it will play kannada, hindi, english for all busy / unreachable msg and in kolkata it will play bengali / hindi / english. In case of international, it will play the msg in the local language and english (In Thailand that english almost sounds like thai. LOL). Over and above it also sometime plays the message of the roaming providor (Eg." The maxis mobile you are trying to reach is out of coverage area"). So you would know what trouble would you call for yourself in case you plan anything close to whats on your mind. Over and above this, going to Thailand is not like going from Delhi to kolkata. Your passport would be stamped with the Visa. In case you travel with your partner abroad. She would be in for a shock. And you in for some *

Hope I warned you enough for saving yourself from a ugly breakup. LOL.

Cheers,

The best way is to take your wife / GF along to BKK. I know. I know you should not take your lunch box to a restaurant.

But you can always send her for shopping and then go for ST mongering.

At least that's what I did. Completely safe. She happy. You double happy.

Since there has been some talk about BKK in this thread, I thought I would bring this up here. Anyone travelled by the Thai Air Asia on the BKK-CCU route? What are your impressions? Punctuality, cleanliness, staff and passengers (only carriers)? Any info.

Thanks.

I have taken the air asia from ccu-BKK and it is a good flight. BKK forum is a better one for these questions and you will get more help.

apologies to everyone on this forum for i failed to act my part at the required time. this le incidence had happened to me around a month and a half back but i was in a state of shock / conscience guilty and mixed up feelings that kept me from posting my hell experience. i even stopped visiting isg. i thought my experience doesn't matter until second week of august when i landed in delhi and relogged in into isg, and i realized in calcutta forum that a couple of le activities still followed after mine and it was important to post my experience for it could save fellow mongers. anyway just managed to get some private time today to type my experience and post it.

it was third week of july when i revisited kolkata and i was hell excited to visit sg. on reading posts about visiting sg at earlier hours to find girls fresh, i was all set that i would visit at daytime only and won't wait till the evening. i reached kolkata in the morning, checked in at the hotel, got fresh and was all set for sailing to shovabazaar by 11:30. i consulted some senior members and they helped with every way possible, they told me to make sure i take help of ja*sh or ra*it to avoid any trouble. one senior member even gave me his no. to help me out. i am not mentioning any seniors' name without consent but i am always thankful for their support. senior members, please feel free to identify yourselves. so i reached in front of kp at around 12pm. tried ra*it's no. but his cell was unreachable. asked from the guys there and they called for him. i mentioned the reference and explained what i wanted. he took me to a building where he said this female is new and go ahead with her. i denied, we went to another building and then finally he took me to the particular building and to that specific female. i confirmed from her and mentioned the seniors name. lookwise she has been reported 7/10 but i would say she was way better. she had lovely eyes and resembled the model in garnier's time kahaan shampoo ad. i will mention the fr in another post. i would rather explain my le exp. here. after an hour, at 1:15pm when i left, quite unsatisfied to what i had expected from her. i walked towards the road. thought of taking the taxi but then i thought i would rather walk till the metro station. i started to walk and would have taken 50 steps when a man came and stopped me, and enquired from how long do i know that agent. i was like which agent. he had another man behind him, on a phone call. he said he saw me dialing the agent's no. i denied that i knew him and just met him randomly. then he asked since how long am i visiting that bari. since his voice was in a bengali tone, i heard "gaadi" instead, (gaadi means car in hindi) and presumed he was asking about some vehicle. i told him i haven't come in any vehicle. the other guy continued talking on his phone and all of a sudden, he asked my name. of course one is prepared to answer such questions, so i faked up my name, then he asked where do i live, i told him a kolkata address. he asked what do i do? i wanted to just clear off his query and get off the situation. until now i was acting bold and knew that nothing serious can happen. this guy on phone call, reported my all queries to somebody on other side of the phone and was acting as he was being instructed on the phone. then he told me that i have to come to the p. s. i said for what? and tried shrugging and walked away. they came after me and told me the exact incidence that happened since i came, that i came to sg at 12:00 went to so and so building, went to that final building at 12:15 and came out at 1:15. now this all got me hell startled. i was like they ain't impostors for they won't have been observing me this closely. now the situation was getting tensed. i told them lets clear the matter here. now the guy who had been talking to me all this while said that the other guy is from the ps and then i have to handle it very carefully to avoid any disaster. he said to refer him as sir. i told him, that i am here for the first time and didn't do much. he told me this whole situation can lead me to become a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord126][CodeWord126][/url] and that's why they are here to avoid. i apologized and said if things can be settled. he backed off and continued talking on the phone. this time the other guy came near me and said,"there has been another incident this morning, and the guy caught was sent to court and the whole matter is still continuing." i said i need to be somewhere and is there anyway this could all be settled as quickly as possible. he told me that it would take 800-900 bucks. i had quite some amount in my wallet and i knew if do anything wrong these guys will rob me all of it. i said i don't have that amount ready and can this be settled in 300-400 as i just have 500 and need some cash to get home as well, but then i realized even for taking 500 out, these guys will have a look at my wallet and i won't be able to control getting ripped off at that point. without letting him think, i said, i can manage to withdraw cash at some atm. i knew this guy won't come up to the machine and that would give me time to reshuffle my wallet and leave just 500 there. they said, there's one nearby. they took me to the atm. now on my back of my mind, this thought was definitely coming slightly that can these guys be impostors, but i let that thought down, as i felt 800-900 bucks can be like an added tax that i can manage for the luxury i had. i tried to strike up a conversation with this guy on the phone who was trying to act as a senior, but it was of hardly any help. i tried putting my hand on his shoulder to make him comfortable and understand but the other guy shrugged it off very badly and said, he is way senior to you. though he continued reporting on the phone saying, sir that guy fled away but we are trying to catch him. i was like ok its kind of working. there was a temple in between and he actually made me swear there that i will never ever return to sg. now that was a kind of do or die situation for me. we proceeded to the atm, i went inside, made some unnecessary transaction and came out with 1000 bucks. came out and handed it straight to that guy to which he denied. he was like what is this? what is all this? i said its 1000, what the other person agreed to. now this guy said, lets go to bada babu (head constable) and settle it there only, he is about to arrive at the next crossroad. i was stunned, now what the hell. i forcefully handed him the notes and said i am not going anywhere. he looked at me and said go away before the bada babu sees you here. i started walking away. they both came running after me and said what are you doing, you need to disappear at once. they got on the middle of the road, stopped an auto and literally commanded to the auto guy, inko leke jaao turant (take him away immediately). the auto guy simply followed to their instruction. the whole day and may be the week the incidence kept my mind occupied. i was shocked, stunned, thinking it could have got worse. their action and way of talking seemed too confident for impostors. but then if they were impostors, they really were good. but what if they weren't? for me, i felt i didn't loose anything yet for it was just a mere 1000 bucks but am out of a shit real bad. and then taking that swear outside the temple. this all was getting too much fro me to handle. thinking back where it all went wrong was the time. i had made myself quite noticeable to arrive sg at stark morning. the senior member told me i should have called him but i wasn't in the situation, for me i was like its my shit i had to clean it up myself.

this to me looks like you have been fooled, their might be some un employed youth in that locality who might be pulling a prank on you. knowing the bengali psyche, they like to do this if you are from south and don't speak the local language fluently. if you stick out like a sore thumb in that area then there are lot of chances of you getting robbed.

when i go to the place i keep all my valuable, wallets etc at home and go with a new wallet with limited cash, and first i go there have a cup of tea or a toast like the local or a lassi and take my time in drinking it, during this time it gives me ample time to observe the area. then once can assess the danger and then go for the kill.

i remember one incident when i had taken a friend of mine to sg and i always sport a rough look (unshaven face) with ruffled hair, he was along with me and was caught by 2. 3 girls eagerly pulling his hand, at this time one should not loose ones cool, you just cooly go and speak to the girls and say, i stay nearby so don't mess with para chele. they will get the message easily.

if need be use common names like tapan, swapan, saurav, one will surely click and you can walk with a smile. see like they fool you, you too can fool them.

I have been visiting SG for a while and after hearing LE & all wished to add sum latest finding.

It was a Wednesday as usual entering SG from safest entry ie UBI atm side but to my surprise saw police standing on the road at the point of entering SG thereby creating a roadblock for passerby and diverting all vehicles, trying to enter SG, straightway.

Then I followed a way round and entered from the tramline side.

atAdiluv: Someone has made a fool of you. This I see is happening too often. The time and details that they told you is not that difficult and you don't need to be a CBI. If you watch carefully there are some jobless folks there, who sit and loaf around and spend time in those lanes. When you asked for Ram*t they had seen you and just checked where you went. They sit near that building so when you went out they just followed you. You are lucky to have come out with little damage. And moreover if it was police, they would have harrased you more and taken a few thousands. And for everyone, there are no police in civil dress there. If you are caught by a white dressed officer. Thats the only time you should worry. I know, in a situation like this its difficult to use your brain.

Sg is a bazar (market) , so you should know that in india, cheating and dishonesty are in every market. Freshmeat has wrote good techniques which suggest you to look familiar & poor. One thing I like to add that you need not to run after a particular pimp. Walk easy and any pimp would automatically follow you. U can show your pity on him saying you are a regular. Dear freshmeat contact me.
