Bangkok Reports

[QUOTE=Oldian;1344681]Very well written post Pro, except I'd take difference with you on one point. The actual last day for paying rent is not the 1st but I believe the 6th, so there is often a tremendous supply of ready and willing and needy talent on the 4th and 5th, so first week of the month is actually good.[/QUOTE]I seem to have grace up to the 5th to pay my rent, even if due on the first. After that I forget what happens, as its normally done by the 5th. The 100 fine per day mentioned by the other guy sounds familar but that probably applies to fairly low rent places.

Obviously plenty of girls don't have their rent by the last day. Things go wrong like pussy out of action with a problem.

Only for the very cheap rents the fine starts from the 2nd day of the month, where for all other apartments in the range as from e. G. 2500bt per month it is common to start after the 5th of the month. So yeh. 1st four days of the month the picks are way better, especially with those girls that get paid twice a month.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new poster to this forum; I normally hang out in the Tijuana forums, living as I do in southern California. First off, thanks for all of the awesome information! I am on my way to Thailand (I'm a newbie to Thailand) in two weeks time and I think that ISG has answered most of my questions regarding Thailand, save one. My question, ironically, isn't about the travel or monger scene but more about technology issues to expect while visiting Thailand.

Specifically, what do other mongers recommend for cellular / 3G / data plans while visiting Thailand? The reason I ask is not so much because I want to spend time surfing the net while there, but rather in order to use my VoIP app on my iPhone. I purchased a number through Iconnecthere. Com, which means that people from North America can call me at the number, and I will receive the call in Thailand, and I can use my phone to call North America for a very low rate. However, this will not work unless I can somehow link my iPhone to a local cellular / data provider.

Does anybody have any recommendations for how to go about doing this? I understand there are places where this can be done at the BKK airport, but my flight arrives at midnight, and they may not be open. Where else in BKK can I do this, and what brands / carriers do other mongers recommend? I am not very technically inclined, so I would like a full service place (no pun intended) where they can help me with the plan and also adjusting my phone settings. I've never used Iconnecthere. Com before, so if anybody knows any tips etc that would also be appreciated.

Before regular members heap scorn on me let me just say, in my own defense, that I did RTFF and found some very helpful information but I'm a techno-phobe and it's really important that I get my phone serivce up and running right away, with minimal issues. I also don't want to waste the whole trip with technical issues! Thanks in advance, and I may be back with a few more questions. I promise, in return, to leave a series of good trip reports.

I will be arriving in BKK on November 18th (late in the evening) so if anybody will be around Nana Plaza that week and wants to get together for a beer or two, the first round is on me! I'll be staying at the Nana hotel in BKK and then hope to head south to Pattaya later in the week. Happy mongering and safe travels to everyone!

I use AIS and it has 3G coverage in some areas. I imagine DTAC is the same. You can get a prepaid top up SIM card and purchase a package that includes so many Gig of data per month, or so many hours, or unlimited data service. Just one month if you like.

I have two phone numbers in other countries that are mobile because they are Skype connections. When I do not answer Skype after so many rings, sometimes due to data / internet connection dropping out, then Skype automatically redirects to my mobile phone number in Thailand. So in the end I am covered no matter what, and I have a separate Thai phone number for mongering Prepaid SIM card which can be shut off when I don't want any awkward calls coming in.

So just about always contactable when I want to be. With this set up I don't use a normal home phone number at all. I have too many different residences and I may not always be located where everyone thinks I am.

My setup makes it seem like I am at home in Thailand and 2 other countries simultaneously, and it doesn't cost a packet either.

[QUOTE=Bifyr38; 1344218]I have planned a trip to Bangkok from Beijing with a couple of mates for some time and we finally arrived a few days ago. I have been communicating with a couple of girls on a dating site and agreed to meet two of them in my hotel.

Now, I am new to this so I have just been acting on instinct rather than experience but to my surprise I had 2 great experiences without paying one single baht.

No1 girl was a short and not as slim as her pictures but what was lacking in her looks was compensated by how she was doing in bed. She claimed to be working in a shop but I think that she might have a second income as she was very professional in getting me cuming several times. She had relatively big tits which to me looked a little fake.

No2 girl is a true diamond. Sweet, reasonably good looking with a great body. At the first meeting we did not have sex but rather kissed and played with each other. Second meeting she stayed overnight and she gave me 2 great BBBJ, COT and CDS in all positions that I asked for. Meeting her again later to say goodbye and hopefully meet again when I come back next time (which will not be long).

This girl might be the real thing, very shy but still good in bed. I rather like small tits and this girl had the firmest little beauties so overall a really really good experience.[/QUOTE]Any pics? This would spice up the review.

[QUOTE=Harold444; 1345284]You been to Pattaya yet tony? I just can't bring myself to go there.

Anyone stayatlaurel suites in victory monument area? Only thing I'm unsure about is _ 10 minute walk to bts. Translated in real time usually means 15-20 minute walk. LOL.

16500 monthly, wifi and window included is all I need! No contract needed.

Last month I stayed smack dab in the middle of suk for 20, 000. Only thing is you get a room w no window.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I didn't really like it. I wasn't impressed with the quality of girls there! To be fair I went during a major holiday so maybe most of the top talent went home to their families, like most do during Christmas break?

A good place to people watch, it seemed quite a few steroid boys getting into heated arguments with ladyboys on Walking Street. LOL.

Interestingly enough, the hottest girls I saw in Pattaya were Japanese tourists.

Not sure I would want to stay at Victory monument. Why not try On Nut? Plenty of reasonable places to stay there and an easy straight shot on the BTS to the night life areas.

Are you sure you can't bring yourself to go?

He's a dreamer and a child! You got to be a real man to visit Pattaya, its just too much for a child to handle plus if he did come when he grows up he most likely will stay near or in BoysTown. Think why is hasn't been posting? Summer vacation in the USA he most likely was sent away for summer camp and nows back in his locked room waiting for mama to call out " what you doing in your room Harold?"

The Internet is a great tool one can travel now without actually being there?

You guys who are bad mouthing them probably have never had any time with SW's in BKK or Pattaya. Let me guess, you think the Gogo girls are cleaner and more honest. ?

Some of the best experiences I have had in P4P, have been with these girls. I will take some LT after spending time with them.

Most are just girls with kids trying to make a few bucks. I treat them nice, take them to dinner, etc.

I really like my SW experiences. Never had a terrible one that I can think of.
