A white male experiencing racism! Ow dare anyone not bow down tot he white male.
Queue lots of white bros complaining how disgusting it is.
Get over it. You white guys encounter racism once in your life and you need medical treatment.
[QUOTE=Surfer500;2777445]Welcome to Asia.
I remember being turned away almost everywhere I went in Seoul, and it was rough in Japan as well if your non-Asian.
In fact, I boycotted spending my mongering money in Seoul after being showed the exit after entering most of the establishments or being told there was a different fee structure for Farangs.
Same thing in the coffee place in Bangkok before the Pandemic.
Pretty easy to tell which ones would go with you as they wouldn't even look at you or give you a dirty look.
It was almost like "what the fuck are you doing here. " The money is not an issue with most, they could care less.
Racism pure and simple.
I remember pulling a girl off of Beach Road in Pattaya before the Pandemic.
She did not have lily white skin like most Thais. She was I guess Morena with a little bit of color, like a light tan.
Upon leaving the Hotel with her, the receptionists with lily white skin gave her back her ID, and said to her that she was a "beautiful black woman."[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=MadDin19;2777658]It's hard for me to understand why someone would pay 7,500 Baht for something they can get for 2,000 Baht. Maybe even better. Do you also pay $50 for a regular burger?[/QUOTE]Absolute Stunners are not Cheap.

[QUOTE=Paolo99;2777700]You're sure there was no misunderstanding in the process?
I don't contest the white skin versus black skin issue, but Thais tend to be polite and respectful with others, especially with another Thai person.
Plus being a receptionist, she is supposed to be respectful with everybody, and as a receptionist (even with white skin), she doesn't have a higher status than any average person in Pattaya, which makes that comment a bit weird, plus saying "you're a beautiful black woman" in Thai doesn't really sound like something one would naturally say.[/QUOTE]A receptionist white skin does have higher status than a black Pattaya Bargirl.

Anyone who has travelled enough in southeast asia knows that white men are treated superior to brown / black men, especially by females. I think the average Asian girl's dream is to marry a white man. This is the case in the states as well, all my Asian female co-workers are married to white men. I have asked all of them why they didn't marry someone of their own ethnicity, they were repulsed by the mere idea LOL.

To me if you want to stop racism ANY act of this nature should not be condoned.
Its the act, not who its directed to, that is the important thing here, don't you think?
NI.

Maybe it's better if everybody does what I have done for the past 30 years living in and around Asia and the Middle East and suck it up and get on with it. But then again, it's not right in any form.
Always interesting to see the thought process that it is now OK to be racist against Caucasians , but then again I wonder what the Egyptian or Mongol Empires where like in their days. Oh they just enslaved everybody, that's fine.

Sideline Terminology
So I've finally begun to understand most of the butchered Google translations, but "Peal Inlay" and "Pearl Injection" or anything to do with pearls eludes me. Anyone with a better handle on Thai care to help me out?

Don't think you can generalize besides things are constantly evolving. I would think that Asian guys could get equal or better preference nowadays. I'm not white and over the decades have frequently rejected many an Asian co-worker and countless scores of them when mongering haha.

[QUOTE=GrapeMan;2777544]Hey guys, updating on Soi Cowboy, realized I forgot to do this from other trip reports.
Overall impression: Quality of the girls here was better than Nana on average, but highly concentrated to just a couple gogos which were packed with girls, while other gogos were sorta empty of patrons and ladies. During my trip this was much better than Nana for looks, I felt Nana had gotten the upper hand in recent years, but this shifted back.
Best Club: Baccara, upstairs only. Baccara has two floors, downstairs is just covered bikini dancers and regular crowded gogo, upstairs is where the fun is. Girls upstairs were topless, and it was one of the few gogos still around anywhere with topless as the default. Without question this was the best spot on Cowboy. Not pushy on drinks, and plenty of girls to choose from so you don't have to worry about people hoarding ladies. Very noticeable, there were more enhanced boobs girls here than other spots, noticeably more, in a good way. This club was so much better, I kept coming back here after quick dips elsewhere, others weren't so bad, but they just weren't at all as good, so felt like this was the place to be. It was crowded so obviously was not alone in the thinking -- also, say plenty of people getting just totally shitfaced there.
It was surprising how good quality Baccara upstairs was compared to the rest of Soi Cowboy and Nana, no question the standout gogo. Also, tits.
Other Clubs: Stopped in a bunch of others, mostly not interesting. Shark was next best. Tilac, Suzie Wong, Midnight (a few others I stuck my head in all were lame or clothed with small amounts of girls. Hey clubs, we want to see tits!. Didn't bother with Afterskool / toy bar BJ spots -- again I ended up just back at Baccara upstairs because it was that much better.
Bars: Country Roads was fun, outside bars and tables are the best there. This was surprisingly a good bar, better than in the past. Prompt service too and decent prices 100 B for beers / shots. Penny Black (directly across from Country Roads) was lame as can be. They were blasting really bad EDM on a poor sound system, just was worthless. I don't know who that bar appeals to.[/QUOTE]I second this opinion, was in BKK for a week over the New Year's. Did go Soi to Cowboy after NYear. Went straight to Baccara 2nd floor found a mid 20's Bangkok girl to my liking bought her a couple of drinks and barfined her 700. LT 6 k took her out clubbing and then back to the hotel. She was hot and fun luckily.
Earlier on the trip found a Slavic chic in Mixx kept her for 3 days. Then for variety went to Thermae picked a white farang looking Thai, early 20's. Standing next to the cashier table 2. 5 K ST lucked out again with long sessions and CIM. Came back after midnight picked another older Thai took her dinner clubbing LT 5 K.
All in all a satisfied repeat "tourist" yet again.

[QUOTE=TheKaiser;2777784]One driver took a longer route. Most of these are from near hotel and maybe it's because it isn't on a main road.[/QUOTE]Not saying this is the case, but drivers will take a longer route due to traffic. Physically longer but perhaps shorter timewise. Perhaps.
Don't know where you're staying, but if you're down some soi, late at night, the driver has to consider deadheading back to the main road for a new passenger. Not supposed to effect anything, but [S]...[/S] Honestly, you're probably getting ripped a bit, and I certainly don't like it, but I try and put it into perspective, like the moto taxi.
[QUOTE=Surfer500;2777445]Upon leaving the Hotel with her, the receptionists with lily white skin gave her back her ID, and said to her that she was a "beautiful black woman."[/QUOTE]And that's the time I'd smile and say, "I'd like to speak to the manager please, [B]NOW[/B]". MY feeling, disrespecting my friend disrespects me, and I don't pay money to be disrespected.

Night time is also common even at 8 AM. So I know I'm getting ripped off a bit, because I've been getting ripped off since I was 15. Thais are definitely not ripping me off as much as my own countrymen do though.
