[QUOTE=NicFrenchy]...when you've been here for many years, even the LBFMs get a little bit old. So you gotta look somewhere else for entertainment, and boy, in Pattaya... well, you know how "entertaining" certain people can be LOL[/QUOTE]
I don't think it is allowed on this forum to discuss those 'certain people'. ;)
[QUOTE=Terry Terrier]I am 100% baffled by this 'Pattaya's shirtless yobs' discussion .........................................................................................Does anybody have any links to YouTube or suchlike showing late-nite shirtless yobs in Bangkok, Patong, Pattaya, ChiangMai, or anywhere else?[/QUOTE]
I usually post more interesting topics, however, as requested a pic taken at lunchtime in Pattaya 2nd Rd today.... I wasnt hiding in the bushes either :)
Cheers, FF

As I said in my original post, I was after links to late-nite shirtless yobs (and to clarify, preferably gangs of them :D). Not pictures of individual tourists overheating in the early afternoon. But thanks for that anyway.
[QUOTE=Sexual Healing]Ok. Do you think deposit boxes are to trust? I think I read some previous post here about theft in rooms unlocking safe (by girls or hotel staff).
Heard anything about that?[/QUOTE]
Well, to be frank about it, nothing is 100% theftproof in Patts. Yes, I've heard some (but not many) stories about theft but mostly from your own room safe and not the main one down with the reception desk.
So here's what I always end up doing:
1) never withdraw too much money to begin with, calculate what you need daily and withdraw around 3 days worth from the ATM--add a few extra bahts just in case, then when supply gets low, withdraw some more etc,etc.--remember, you are NEVER more than a 5-7min walk from the nearest ATM so don't need to carry much around.
2) the extra money you have, pocket 1 days worth on you and put the rest in the room safe.
3) keep your passport (carry a copy with you), extra cash you may have on you from home, credit cards and other valuable documents and stuff them in the reception desk deposit box.
4) above all, don't be so paranoid about the whole thing as it WILL affect your mood and good times worrying about every little thing, go with the flow and it'll be ok.
5)avoid the LB/katoey, they are your main threat to having something lifted from you.

Hi people,
Before sailing to Thailand I'd like to complete my education with some reading and I'm looking for this book by Bill Williams called "Pattaya Bar Girls Report".
Anyone can help?
Please pm me for contacts.
Cheers!
personally, I use a motion sensor alarm attached to whatever I use to store my B. That in combination with securing the bag to the bedpost and a hardshell bag usually provides enough security to deter the "common" thief.
Since I don't drink in the room (except alone) I'm not concerned with getting drugged (which is the "other" source of problems) But your advice is appropriate for most situations. I RARELY have over 20K B at any particular time anyway.
The lobby box is OK particularly IF they allow you to use your OWN LOCK (some places have what resembles a "gym locker" box - I bring my own lock)

Motion Sensors? Christ where do you folks stay... Now you're starting to get me worried and I've never had issues anywhere in Thailand.
Securing to bedpost? Only thing I secure to the bed are girls with the bondage gear :D
Personally in Manila and other places I do / have used a PacSafe but do not use it in Thailand. I have security cables for the netbooks but I'm more interested in data theft then the theft of a netbook.
Seriously the hotels / properties I've stayed at, and my experiences in all of Thailand have all been above board thankfully (knock on wood).
Just read this in today's pattaya mail
"A Russian man woke up with a headache and missing valuables after a Walking Street entertainer he took back to his hotel apparently spiked his drink and her breasts with a tranquilizer"
Take care
I tend to stay in the cheap sleeps (usually without in room safes).
The motion sensor alarm is just in case I get careless
I haven't used the pacsafe much - it's a bit of a hassle with the locks except when traveling on a bus.

I meant these (they also have for laptops) for places without good safes...

Never under estimate the abilities of a Thai FL.
Actually, I posted something a while back about an incident that happened in my hotel room. Ok, it was not in the Marriott or some other high end place. I was inside the bathroom taking a dump and I heard through the door.
The gal tried to play around to open the room safe then when that didn't work, she tried to drag my entire luggage out the door. Luckily, I always use a 3-4ft bike cable lock and secure it to the closet post. When the luggage fell to the floor with a loud bang as it didn't go anywhere, she ran out the door thinking I was coming right out. It was the best free sex I had since she ran out so fast, I never paid her for my session.

Bicycle chain locks? Fuck me.... You guys are all fucking bastards you know that :D
Now you've got me concerned. I've visit Thailand every two months for years and never had an issue. Granted I usually pull higher end girls and stay at better places but now you've got me ready to pack up my pacsafe, security cables for equipment my portable door lock, security cameras, and everything else.
Yes I do travel with atleast one if not two locking chests for work materials that won't fit into safes (70 lbs is my usual luggage weight each piece so good luck to a little spinner BG trying to sneak those chests out the hotel).
The most problems i've ever had was pick pockets at NEP in BKK. I work in bad areas in SEA and Thai to me is (or was) like nirvana but you bastards just ruined it for me. Again I'm mostly just worried about data theft but what frigging BG would care about my data.
I guess I should be thankful but in reality you just started to make me paranoid. Bastards... just bastards.... :D :D Seriously Thailand is so so so so safe compared to many other SEA countries. Granted you want to play with lady boys or FL and stay in flop houses then you run a higher risk but in general Thai's, for the last 15 years, have proven themselves to be much more honest then other countries.
With the current economic issues, I will agree that things are getting more dicey all over the world but still, thailand is safe(r) just use normal precautions. But motion sensors, bicycle chain locks... my god that is my like my bondage gear :D I guess I could use my bed straps for locking up the luggage when they are not used on the beds...

Hmm, Not a bad idea since it's not in use anyway.
And as to my bike cable lock?---best $6.95 investment I ever made. If the gal had made off with my luggage, then the cost of the luggage itself would be $125, clothes inside the luggage (shirts/ jeans/ pants)=$200, pair of sneakers=$75, camera + charger+ extra batteries=$300 and misc stuff inside the luggage( like my electric shaver etc)=$75+
So yup, shit adds up real fast.
But I do agree, LOS is a very safe place overall, but just need one bad incident (like stolen luggage) to ruin a good vacation. So, always better to be on the "safer" side.

The motion detector is actually for the computer but it works anywhere. Cut the cable and it screams 115db (pain in the ass to disarm, too, in case I forget I set the motion sensor).
3 "movement" levels - none (cut the cable only), low (takes bashing it pretty HARD- no, you dirty minded bastards, not that kind of hard), and HI! (just move it and it chirps twice in 3 seconds then screams. I also use my cable lock for the computer to secure bags, too because the sonic alarm isn't a "lock" just an alarm.
Anyway - about the ladies - I KNOW the ones to trust and don't trust ANYONE else. Sometimes I have an amount of valuables with me, too. Those go into the locker box where I stay that has one. No desire to mess around with anything except true poo-ying, so that isn't an issue either. I will admit to having a LB get irate at me when I said "chawp poo ying tao nun. Ta yak doo poo chai, doo eng dai" - I only like ladies. If I want to look at a guy I'll look at myself.
Oh, and I heartily recommend USING A NECK WALLET, too, Utterly IMPOSSIBLE TO picka-da-pocket :)
You will have stuff stolen if you take skunky SW.... if you take a BG from a respectable place, you should be safe.
