Bangkok Reports

Was out at Chatuchak market, both last Saturday and this Saturday. Still hot, but the crowds are really DOWN. Now, mostly foreigners, very few Thais. Certainly bad news for the businesses there, but does make it a lot EASIER to get around.

If taking the Metro, don't do like all the newbies and get off at Chatuchak Park stop. Today, watched most get off at the Chatuchak Park stop. Wait until the next stop, Kamphaeng Phet. That lets you off basically inside the market, at the edge by section 26, the handicrafts section. Walk outside the metro entrance, and you're inside the market. Makes it easy for me to find my "start point", the Viva Bar26. Great place for a drink, both coming and going. Been stopping there for 20+ years. It's my reference point for my inertial navigation to other shops I know. I've learned to get business cards from the shops I buy from so that, in the future, easier to find, rather than having to do a grid search of the old days.

[QUOTE=Catire;2429154]Girls had to be really fucking stupid. How many Thai men will be customers on Soi 4? ZERO.

So if I'm a girl I avoid all Thai men and do not talk to any of them.

Of course if they just pulled up and said show me your papers, different story.[/QUOTE]They use tourist police or foreigners. In Pattaya a group of black girls were lured by Indians posing as customers. Scums.

O. Sting, maybe true maybe not. End result still the same, as earlier report Viet girls not around any more.

[QUOTE=Allover;2428913]The western media is killing my stocks with their fear mongering but I feel the number of cases is grossly under reported. I doubt Thailand has many testing kits outside of Bangkok. Even California is woefully short of testing kits.[/QUOTE]Actually you're doing the scare mongering job yourself. There's no "testing kit".

The test is a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). To simplify, a sample is taken in a sterile receptacle (cotton swab, spit in the jar, whatever) and chemicals are applied to (a) turn any RNA (single strand) from a virus present into DNA (the Watson-Crick double helix) and (b) multiplying the results hugely.

This is then analysed in a genetic sequencing machine (96 sample, 1 hour turnaround time was around $20,000 last time I checked and it is quite likely the same bit of kit which does your teerak's HIV test. So widely available in hospitals, clinics and universities, even in Thailand, although I cannot vouch for backwards regimes like California) which looks for a specific block of genetic code believed to be unique to the virus.

Or maybe California has run out of cotton swabs, test tubes and jars?

[QUOTE=NmExpert;2428990]My yesterday statistics from Soi 4, half LB plus a few super expired and 4 black ugly girls.[/QUOTE]Sounds like Pattaya.

A 4-5 day fast (water only) resets the immune system (see Valter Longo et al UCLA and lots of peer reviewed work). Literally renews immune system with brand new undamaged cells. Been doing it every 6 months last few years, good objective results on skin smoothness and energy. It also creates a raging teenage boner after you come off the fast and feed up for months afterwards. I'm old enough to have some grey hair, but I gave gave some girls a solid pounding. They were not expecting a fence post in my pants or up for it again 30 minutes later.

I much prefer a selection of varied young women to cavort with than some ageing, whining and nagging old American / Western cows past it. Just love the Thai girls giggling as cum drips out their pretty little mouths, genuinely happy and amazed they have such power over the male species and the attention they get. 1000 baht for such a sight in the mirror works for me! Sex is life and joy itself. Those opposing P4P have deep agendas that boils down reproduction of economic units (for exploitation by stakeholders, church, state, business or as canon fodder) or a lifelong meal ticket for women after they hit the wall at 35 or so. Say no the feminist put option and buy on the spot market.

[QUOTE=PahllusMaximus;2429403]A 4-5 day fast (water only) [/QUOTE]Full 5 days with nothing but water? That seems extreme! Or do you mean intermittent fasting?

Damn its sad to read the reports about Bangkok, meanwhile I've been slamming the hotties here in Siem Reap. Guess I got out of BKK just in time.

[QUOTE=MerZues;2429431]Full 5 days with nothing but water? That seems extreme! Or do you mean intermittent fasting?[/QUOTE]The five day water only fast is actually the best way to start a real, ketosis inducing intermittent fasting protocol. I've experienced the health benefits and bright clarity of mind doing the fast over two months, and it was outstanding.

I also found my athletic performance either stayed the same or improved. In other words, no drop off. Sadly, I didn't accompany these two months with any of my 20 ish or 30 ish THAI lovelies so can't vouch for sexual performance on the diet.

Watching Bangkok news last night. 35 year old in Bangkok is the first Thailand death due to the coronavirus. My Thai isn't good enough to know if he had any pre existing conditions.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2429088]I read that it is not heat that will kill the virus. It has something to do with the immune system being more efficient when body temperature is higher.[/QUOTE]Most virus thrive in cold weather. This is not to say cold virus does not infect people in hot countries. There are several factors why we get flu vaccine in the fall to protect us in winter. Hot weather makes us feel good and immunity is higher. Phlegm does not stay in your lungs in hot weather. They liquify and comes out not doing any damage to lungs.

But this corona virus is hard to figure out. Causes lots of damage to older people with underlying conditions. Hardly ever does serious damage to kids.

We hope our sexual exercise and activity increases our immunity to this virus.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2429490]Watching Bangkok news last night. 35 year old in Bangkok is the first Thailand death due to the coronavirus. My Thai isn't good enough to know if he had any pre existing conditions.[/QUOTE]I read that he already had Dengue fever. I think it was on the BBC or CNN website.

Get a grip please. Other good responses posted on here. As mentioned, this correction was long overdue. Even with the hit last week, I'm still up 15% for the last 12 months, and I'm an investment idiot. What's to complain about?

We saw the start of this with the Trump trade taxes, and this showed us where the weakness is. Companies have been working the short time returns so hard that they have moved to just in time deliveries from suppliers, and are sourcing huge percentages of critical parts from single suppliers in countries that are at risk for all kinds of issues (aka China). So when the shit hit the fan, guess what happens next in the Rube Goldberg machine that is the stock market? Companies have lost sight of long term health (you know, even a stool needs three legs to be stable) and stability, which is borne out by all the short term microsecond computer trading, which has exacerbated the market volatility.

You want a real eye opener? The current economy, at least in the US, is driven by the consumers. Now look at the wealth / income distribution. It won't be too long before the majority of the population is unable to afford the basic necessities. Ford had the right idea with his new automobile. He paid his workers many times the going labor rate so that they could all afford to buy the product they were making for him.

[QUOTE=Allover;2428913]I haven't read anything about Bat Flu and heat. Hope you're right. The western media is killing my stocks with their fear mongering but I feel the number of cases is grossly under reported. I doubt Thailand has many testing kits outside of Bangkok. Even California is woefully short of testing kits. Also some sick people aren't getting medical help due to fear of being isolated by friends and family.

Natty if the worst happens to you can I have your Line address book?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2429045]...Now, here is the bad part for any Farangs thinking this coronavirus hysteria has loosened the youngest and best looking Thermae girls' grip on responding exclusively to Asian punters. And, again, this is only from MY experience. But at 9:30pm I went in there as pleasant, polite, smiling, happy, with as warm and welcoming a "sawadee krup" at the ready as I have ever had, looking pretty damn good for a somewhat elderly Farang I might say. And the cold shoulder from the better looking girls was every bit as bad as it has ever been. Very, very cold cold shoulder for this Farang. With girls I'd never seen or talked to before, new encounters...[/QUOTE]Haha ET, that's too bad. I sympathize with your plight. I, too was hoping that this virus scare would losen up a bit those good looking Thermae girls. Oh well.

I am currently in Medellin, Colombia, enjoying some Latina pussy. Luckily, not too many customers here from Japan / Korea to compete with.

My understanding from girls in Pattaya is that many will no longer go with Korean men so there is hope for elderly Farang, of course unless you look Iranian or Italian.
