[QUOTE=Bunky;1372982]Immediately after United merged with Continental the web site was lousy. It's still not perfect, but it works better than it used to. Go to the drop down menu for Mileage Plus and choose "book with award miles." The default value is to display all Star Alliance flights. But you can choose to display only United flights if that's your preference. (Although I don't know why you would. Generally speaking the Star Alliance carriers are almost always better in every way.) Bunky[/QUOTE]All Star Alliance rewards are handled by a company called Miles & More (made out by participating companies). M&M gets virtual cash for the miles the frequent passengers collect and spend. It is then up to the individual airline to grant the rewards (ie there are free seats available for reward on the specific flights, ie there are seats availbale for upgrade). UA, in the past, seemed to run independently, even requiring paper voucher to accept the free flights or upgrades from other airline participating members. I do not if this practice is (hopefully) over now). This system is pretty much common with all frequent flyer programs, when there are many participating airlines.

[QUOTE=Pahllus Maximus;1373002]Now I could understand making US pussy competitive as a services industry, but that is not the case because local law enforcement use it as an arrest mill to generate statistics that help their short term career and revenue goals. The fact that this destroys entire families and jobs (and with it taxes) that is a net fiscal negative is too hard for the local cops to understand. In fact, the US is becoming very nasty, myself and friends getting questioned and hassled by Dept Homeland Chimps at the airport about that 10 day trip to LOS or the Philippines. I tell them I'm with the 13th Reformed Baptist Church of Podunk, Alabama spreading God's word. With a deadpan face. It's true. Especially the oral testing of what they learned.[/QUOTE]Dude a lot of economic theory on this pussy-oriented board. I agree with your analysis. But you forget that the downside has a floor: Thai and Chinese men love blondes and US accents. So our daughters will return the sexual women these Thai girls have been providing us. Quid pro quo.

[QUOTE=Dreams; 1372725]Thouht I would add my 2 cents to these discussions.
I found that the (soft) flaming on the guy who asked about strip clubs was misplaced. I also would love to have US style strip clubs everywhere in the world, as long as they would be populated by local girls, at local prices, and local services.[/QUOTE]I both agree and disagree.
YES I would also like to have strip clubs in Bangkok (it was tried before but failed: ie THE STRIP) but without the US Rules of "No Touching".
I went to Strip clubs in NY, LA, Chicago, Buffalo, Miami and even Pittsburgh and maybe my colleagues picked the wrong clubs but there was no touching allowed, even in the so called "Champagne room". A bouncer was in the room as you were getting your dances and made sure the punters would not touch the ladies.
That side of the Strip clubs I did not like.
After that, I went to Toronto and my GOD, you could have BBBJ, FS right in the private dance Area. All you needed to do was give a $20 Canadian to the bouncer and he would close his eyes.
Anyway, yes, I am all for a US Style Strip club.
The Bloke (can't be bothered to scroll back and see the name) can always go to the smaller bars in SC: Jungle Jims, Moonshine Joint, Fannys, Toy. At these places, the girls will strip for you, dance on your lap, let you suck their tits and finger their pussies. All you need to do is buy them drinks. (I usually tip them a little too).
If you get Horny enough, then can give you a HJ or BBBJ right at your seat too.

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1372680]The gogo bars are too noisy for me to have extended meaningful conversations with anyone, although its easier for me to hear girls due to higher pitched voices. Bad DJs (bad music) in bars really bore me too (and stupid shows llike fire breathing).[/QUOTE]I agree with you there. And I was at some Gogo bars last time (Baccara) where all the fucking Jappos are puffing away.
That's why I prefer Massage places.

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1372651]My motto is "In Bangkok you never have to wank". Save it for when you are in a crappy for sex country.[/QUOTE]Honestly, this used to be the case. 10 years ago I could not walk 50 mts on Suk or be in Thermae 5 min without seeing lots of good looking, willing available gals who pretty much all gave great service, and most seemed to actually enjoy the act. Not the case now.

If you get Horny enough, then can give you a HJ or BBBJ right at your seat too.[/QUOTE]Go to some of the strip clubs in San Francisco. One I know well is The Mitchel Brother's O'Farrell Theater. Mitchell brothers as in "Behind the Green Door". Though they're both dead now. I used to take clients from Asia there on business. There is a cover; its not cheap; but the girls are all 9s & 10s; a mix of different races and nationalities. Some touching and lap dancing in the public area. There are private booth where you can get whatever you're willing to pay for. And I mean anything! You can make arrangements to see the girls outside the club when they're not working. A few are students (really) and have boyfriends. Most girls are looking for a sugar daddy. The downside is it can get very expensive. Last time I was there (about three years ago when I was last living in SF) it cost US$40 to get in. Thirty minutes in a private room and a covered blow job would set you back a few hundred. I doubt if you could find a girl who would give you a BBBJ. For a vaginal fuck you're looking at $1000+. Never asked for A-level. One evening one of the girls I knew pointed out another girl who she said would do it for the right price.

I remember 2 hot girls in Thermae 20 years ago, but have had only 1 really memorable girl from Thermae since then. All these girls were just there on occasion of needing some money in a hurry. Not regulars.

Of course the reason over priced no touch (and now even no nudity) strip clubs exist in the US is that prostitution is illegal. Why else would someone drop hundreds of dollars to leave a place with blue balls? The strange thing is that there are Asian massage parlors in basically every city that has a strip club, so I never could figure out why guys don't just go to them instead.
You guys who want no touch strip clubs in Bangkok please stay in America. Seriously. It's bad enough already with some of the A Go Go's in Pattaya having lapdances and dancers who refuse to barfine. Don't make it worse than it is, I beg you!

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1372651]I am frustrated by favourites having quit or gone up country.[/QUOTE]That explains NicFroggys posting of a porn site around the New Year, after recieving many PM requests for the same.
I miss a few favs too, but year after year there is constantly new young and fresh meat being introduced to the Bangkok hooker scene.
Thai girls know the famous NPL and where to go when they want cash. Even the regular LE raids don't stop them.
