[QUOTE=Slackerslacker;1196026]Seriously though, there is no cheap Sunblock, it is all imported, so it's a good idea to bring your favorite brand from home.[/QUOTE]They do however have an enormous amount of baby powders, foot powders, face powders and ball sack powders. So this is best purchased once inside Thailand and also then you can get the XXXXL size that is usually very cheap compared to the smaller sizes. Powder ON!
[QUOTE=Adrenalinrush; 1196244]Just completed a 10-day visit to Pattaya, have reported each day in fair amount of detail in previous posts, so will only state general observations and summarize my trip.
Next visit : Will stick to Indonesia for the time being, since I know average Bahasa, which helps finding regular girls (I'm sure guys who know Thai feel the same way in Thailand). Also find Indonesian women slightly hotter (at least percentage wise). I found Pattaya too much in your face, may plan a trip to Thailand but to Phuket or Koh Samui where there are more things to do besides mongering, that too in the low season (when it is high season in Indonesia). The racism part at least for me tips things towards Indonesia, where all this is unheard of.[/QUOTE]Adrenalinrush, thanks for all of the great posts from your trip. There is much more to do in Pattaya than Phuket or Koh Samui. I think someone posted a list last week of all the things to do here. As far as no racism in Indonesia I would have to disagree. I am a black guy and I was in Bali at the end of July. The 4 days I was there I only saw 1 other black guy. My chances with regular girls closely approached nil. They were not blatant about it, but I could tell. Also when I went to the X house there was a girl I wanted to fuck but the papasan told me that girl was Balinese and he would only allow me to fuck the Javanese women. And you should have seen the initial look on the face of the girl who I had chosen. But when she realized how cool I was she was much more relaxed and even wanted to come with me for the entire night.

Also, where applicable, I will draw comparisons with Indonesia (where I have more often mongered) , comparing Thailand to S. America or Caribbean would not be right (I just feel the chicas there are much hotter and better looking and provide better GFE).[/QUOTE]Thanks for reports, it gave me much better picture into the scene.
I am trying to decide where to go in February where the weather is nice and plentiful of available women. I never been in Asia but have been in Sosua, DR, which I enjoyed very much. On my list is Sosua again, Pattay sounds interesting or any other Asian destination such as other parts of Thailand, Philippines, and after Adrenalinrush's comments, Indonesia comes on the list. Will check those threads as well.
What do you guys think is a good first destination in Asia for 2 weeks stay where there is beach or combination of city / beach with very good mongering scene? I look for GFE and reasonable prices. I typically do 3 to 5 STs of couple hours each per day. Is BKK / Pattaya that good first destination?
Adrenalinrush, you mentioned LT prices. How much is for ST?
Thanks all.

Yes, it's more difficult for coloured guys to find regular non-pro's in Indo, they do have a thing for white guys, but that is more preference than racism (there is no bad feeling). For e. G, it's like us prefering lighter skin girls to darker skin girls, younger girls to older ones, etc. In Indonesia, sex is not as open as it is in Thailand, there are P4 places, but you have to invest some time and build a network of semi-pro's (students, salesgirls who need the pocket money / college money) , it is little more discreet, but it works (I can tell from experience) , you just need to make the girl feel comfortable. Honestly, I prefer to pay little for sex, than get it free with these girls as later there is no excess baggage to carry. In a place like Bali, when you enter a club, yes the hotter ones prefer to go with the white guys, but that's the girl's preference, you can score but you have to flash / offer more cash than the white guys for the same girl, they prefer the cash to the white guys, trust me. But here's the real question and point I'm making. Can you tell me one club in Bali which has stopped you (or any other colored guy) from entering, it is totally unheard of, your money is as good as theirs (BTW if you didn't know this, all the Indonesian single girls entering most clubs in Bali have to pay an entrance fee of 50, 000 rp, which the tourists do not). Regarding the X houses in Sanur, their clientele is mainly Indonesian, and they protect many of the young ones from bules (whether black or white) , they prefer to keep their better looking ones for regular Indonesian clients, I have heard this from a white guy who had a similar experience as yours. You will also find this info in old Indonesia forum reports. The same applies to a certain extent in Batam, when a foreigner (white or black) walks into a massage place to make a selection (for LT) , many places do not bring out the younger, hotter looking girls, they keep them hiding inside, as they want to give these girls to their regular Singaporean- Chinese clients. Also, in places like Sanur or Batam, language has a lot to do with it, very few girls know English and they are more comfortable going with a client who knows Bahasa. I once entered a place in Batam once, and very few girls were shown to me, I spoke some Bahasa and asked in Bahasa if they had more girls (behaved like a local Singaporean) , they then brought out the younger girls for me.
In our lives, at any given age or place, how many times have we had girls turn us down, it happens, it's a part of life, nobody scores always. But what is unacceptable is professional establishments turning us down due to color or race. Just my personal opinion.

Bangkok is definitely out: there is no beach life there.
Pattaya comes close to your ideal, I think. No shortage of SW for ST in all price ranges. The beach in Pattaya is very lively, somewhat too lively for my taste, but you can always jump in a baht-bus and drive to Jomtien where the beach is much quieter and cleaner.

Thanks all.[/QUOTE]ST prices for girls at go-go's is 1500 and barfine is still 600 (found same rate everywhere I went). I'm not too sure about beer bars, but I believe ST is 1000 and barfine is 300.
Regarding your Asia trip, I havn't been to Philippines, so cannot comment. For a first time visitor in Asia, I believe Thailand is much better than Indonesia, especially if you are white (girls available everywhere in Thailand and sex is more open). However, if you want better beaches and more things to do, I would recommend Phuket (there is a good balance of girls and sight-seeing). You can go through old reports on Phuket thread. And good thing is the place is big, if you prefer the loud nightlife and more women, stay at Patong, if you prefer a more quiet place, with better, cleaner beaches, stay at Karon / Kata. Place is quite scenic and beauitiful, get a bike and ride around the island, you will enjoy it. There are also a whole list of activities to do. Pattaya barely has a beach and it is quite pathetic, however purely for the girls it is a better place. I have found Koh Samui to be the most beautiful place I have visited in Thailand (with the best beaches) , but the girls there are limited (some beer bars near Lamai beach area).

Unfortunately, this attitude of the bars and the bargirls towards Indians is brought on by the droves of noveau riche visitors from India. It doesn't help that a some business people bring a bunch of "carriers" to help carry goods back to India. Most of them have never been out of the country and are just rude, loud and obnoxious. You should take a flight from BKK to CCU and you will know what I am talking about.
I applaud you for trying to change the image, but until the majority of the tourist make an effort to change, you will see this continue. This is more prevalent in Thailand than in other SE Asian countries is because they haven't seen the influx of Indian tourist.

And with me being a Cheap Charlie you know I was not going to spend money like some of the other guys were doing. No club in Bali stopped me from going in. As a matter of fact they didn't even have people at the door. Hell, most of them didn't have a door because they were pretty much open air. I was in Batam a couple of years ago and I didn't even have a prayer then. The pimp gave us a price but later reneged because the girls didn't want to fuck me and my wingmen. In Singapore the girls wanted to fuck us but the papasans didn't want us stretching their girls out of shape. LOL There I ended up getting a SW for 35SD and running to the room before the pimp could come change it to the 100SD foreigner price.
[QUOTE=El Greco; 1196040]You can buy a lot of clothes of good quality and very reasonable to low prices in Thailand provided you are of reasonable height and size.
If you are a tall and big Afro American or a heavy Caucasian guy you can forget it. At least for the brand name cloths. Thais are of smaller size. Eg their XXL is like Medium in the USA or Large in Europe. On the other hand if you fit in their sizes you can find good bargains especially during their sales. Start from the brand non imported names because you get better value and quality for your money.[/QUOTE]I'm a husky build; 48" chest and 36" waist. I just returned from Pattaya and bought many shirts and shorts at Mike's Plaza that fit me perfectly. Knock off Nike's, Billabong shorts, all good.

I thought it was that they were low-balling the girls for the best price. When I asked the Thai hostess, she said the majority of Thai girls will not go with an Indian guy. I was surprised because there were far more Indians on WS than I noted from my visit last year. You won't see many Indian guys in go-go bars, not sure if they're not allowed, or if its just not their thing.

If someone has any comments about Philippines, I would love to hear. I think my Asia destination will be couple of days in BKK and remainder in Phuket.
I am white, close to 50's, and overweight guy (not surprise to other forum members) , originally from Eastern Europe but lived long and naturalized in the good old US of A. Unfortunately, despite how much I love and appreciate USA, it is indeed a sex prison. I realize that and I look forward new experiences in colorful tropical destinations.
How would you compare Thailand and Caribbean and South American places? Where do you like to go south of the USA and why? What would you pick, south of the border, or south east Asia?
Thanks a lot!

The DR is a lot of work as a rookie to get acclimated as the culture is really right out of a movie and some Spanish is essential to really succeed but once you know your way its good as well but still always some work. In the end though, IMHO, nothing beats SE Asia.

As for south of USA DR, CR are good destinations for newbies.
[QUOTE=Adrenalinrush;1196244]Racism : Like I've written in my posts, I was barred from entering 4 clubs (Alcatraz, Fahreneit, Happy go-go and Beach club) , despite offering to pay for 2 drinks upfront, on one occasion I even had a girl with me who I had barfined earlier, coloured folks please don't try these clubs, it will frustrate and upset you and can have a psychological affect and ruin your holiday, you can still enjoy at 90-95% of places. At Baccara, first time the guy observed if I bought a drink, after seeing me buy my drink and a lady a drink, he didn't bother me on the other occasions I went. It is sad but a fact of life. I have seen so many white guys in the last 10 days enter go-go's, take a round inside, check out all the girls and leave without buying a drink and some even misbehaving inside, I guess the percentage of Indians and Arabs doing this is more, and we coloured guys have to suffer due to the behaviour of few. These clubs don't want to check your passport, nationality, accent or behaviour, if you are not white, you will be told it's a members club and asked to leave, that too not politely. Having said that, I never found this racist attitude with any of the ladies I went out with, if you treat them well, they will reciprocate.[/QUOTE]I have just returned from a week long trip to Pattaya and didn't notice any form of discrimination. I am an dark colored Hispanic American and for the most part I bewildered most of the Thais because they couldn't figure out what I was. A lot thought I may have been an asian mix so maybe that was why I didn't see any discrimination. Anyways, your post was awesome and extremely informative. If I didn't have a friend who knows Pattaya to show me around your post would have been the next best thing.
One thing that I would say about my trip is that IMHO Thai women are beautiful. Before moving to China last year I was not a big fan of Asian women. Now I can't seem to get enough. Each countries women have their own beauty but so far, to me, Thai women are the hottest. They have the tightest bodies. Wow, is the only way to describe them.

Hi Hedonian,
I am always comparing countries in different parts of the world, too. Not an expert in any of them but have been to Asia (PI, VN, BKK) for about a month 2X / year the last six years vs. 2-3 week stays in Carribean / Mexico / South America. Here's my. 02.
Asia: cheaper and better for longer visits.
Carribean / SA: better scenery (beyond mongering) and bigger boobs.
For short visits go to Tijuana.
