[QUOTE=HorseTrader;3080065]Isn't that like bringing a hot dog to a banquet?[/QUOTE]Considering the cost of 2 extra roundtrip tickets BKK to GIG it's like bringing 2 dump trucks of sand to the beach. Furthermore, the flight is at least 24 hours duration and not many working girls are up for that. But this is what Explorer8939 says he has been doing some time. What I don't get is why he takes his girls on such long flights when there are plenty of great alternative destinations in SE Asia and LOS with flight durations of under 3.5 hours. It does not make sense to me.

Now I am not sure if he takes his girls to RJ and stays there or he goes further afield. Sao Paulo is as good as or better than BKK or Pat any day of the week if you are into girls, their looks, their performance in bed. Once you leave SP or RJ the girly prospects decline rapidly, so it makes a little more sense to take some Thai girls to Fortaleza, for example, which is more a BYO girl kind of place although not entirely. But the Hot Dog analogy still holds because you could easily meet some charming girls in Sao Paulo or Rj who would love to travel up north (3.5 hours) on some punter's dime.

No, what Explorer8939 says he does makes very little sense to me, but as long as he is having a good time doing it and his girls handle the logistics well, I say Rock On with an ironic smile on my face. It's his money / his time.

Welp. I will just leave this piece of news right here!

Or maybe this is all bad translation.

I do not see any signs of low season in the real Pattaya. You know that part of the economy that is not dependent on [B]International Trick[/B] arrivals.

I was just in Central (That is what locals call the big mall on 2nd Road in central Pattaya). The place is jumping with activity. Lots of smiles and people enjoying their lives.

My Asian brothers be walking around with girls that put the ugly hags I see walking around with (a certain type) of farang (who is ugly, old and fat) to shame. [I]Of course they not like us[/I]. Some of those who look like me be having some serious eye candy on their arms.

Restaurants have waiting lists and queues. If you are measuring the season by [B]International Tricks[/B] present and are a visitor, I can understand how you perception is warped. But I am posted up here. I see the real deal. There is a vibrant bustling economy in spite of the lack of [B]International Tricks[/B] roaming the street. I like it that way. Because the worst part of Thailand is the old, ugly, fat farangs with bad attitudes that are walking around the lovely city of Pattaya in the Kingdom of Thailand.

The USS Abraham Lincoln will dock on Wednesday at Thailand's resort city of Pattaya. Sure cure for the moral problems in the news lately.

Finally some certainty with us only being allowed to stay 30 days visa free in Thailand effective September 15. Now to plan my next trip.

How much weed in grams is ok for a normal person who gets drunk in 2 big bottles of 650 ML beer?

Any wholesaler or very famous and cheap shop to get weed?

[QUOTE=Visal;3082042]How much weed in grams is ok for a normal person who gets drunk in 2 big bottles of 650 ML beer?

Any wholesaler or very famous and cheap shop to get weed?[/QUOTE]It's impossible to answer that question accurately because cannabis can vary widely in potency. Some strains are very high in THC—the ingredient that gets you high—while others have much lower levels. Everyone also reacts differently.

One advantage of smoking cannabis is that you usually feel the effects fairly quickly. Take one puff, wait 10–15 minutes to see how you feel, and then decide whether you want more.

[QUOTE=Mosquito2002;3082011]They hava placed Soi 6 and a couple others off-limits to US Sailors during the port visit.[/QUOTE]LOL. They tried that once. It's how it was formed.

[QUOTE=Visal;3082042]How much weed in grams is ok for a normal person who gets drunk in 2 big bottles of 650 ML beer?

Any wholesaler or very famous and cheap shop to get weed?[/QUOTE]The marijuana high is based on a couple of factors. The 2 most important as far as you are concerned are: 1 the potency of the flower as measured by its THC content. Any THC content above 20% is considered fairly strong. Any THC content around 30% and higher is considered very, very strong. 2. The frequency or how often you smoke. If you smoke weed every day, multiple times a day you will need to smoke a lot more weed than an occasional smoker in order to achieve a similar high. So, here is an example using some high potency 30% THC weed (see photo): An everyday smoker will probably smoke 1 or 2 joints (around a gram) to get the full effect every time he wants to get high. LOL. While a once a month, casual smoker will get very high on 4 or 5 hits of the same stuff. Got it.

But as GreenToad points out, the advantage of smoking joints is the "high" comes on very quickly. For example, with some flower, the initial high can be felt on the exhale, especially for newbies, but other times it can take up to 5 minutes. Either way it is very hard to over smoke. Just quite inhaling when you have had enough. Easy Peasy.

One more thing and I may be going out on a limb here, but I doubt you can buy the same high THC quality weed in Thailand that you can in the good ol' USA, I would suspect that 15% THC or less is the potency level available in LOS. I could be wrong.

[B]US carrier visit to Thailand's Pattaya lifts hope and sex-tourism risk[/B]

[QUOTE]Ahead of its arrival, police are preparing additional patrols around Pattayas main beachfront and [u]nightlife district besides raids over the weekend that led to 40 to 50 people in detention for suspected prostitution[/u], officials said.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/us-carrier-visit-to-thailands-pattaya-lifts-hope-and-sex-tourism-risk[/URL]

[QUOTE=Visal;3082042]How much weed in grams is ok for a normal person who gets drunk in 2 big bottles of 650 ML beer?

Any wholesaler or very famous and cheap shop to get weed?[/QUOTE]No idea what you mean by how many grams is okay, but there is 1 gram in each of these bags. They cost 35 baht each at Greenspace. At any other shop they would cost at least 350 baht.

I am sure many here would go to the 350 baht places since they believe you get what you pay for and since it cost more then it is better. To me, it is just one more example of the same thing costing 10 times more at a different place. Same difference to me like Beach Road / Thai Friendly vs agogo. At Greenspace there is minimal overhead. Bare bones, go in and buy your shit and leave out (BR / TF). At other places there is an inviting ambiance (agogo). Music, lighting, decorations, tables, drinks, and you can smoke while you are there. So if you only want the product, then go to Greenspace. If you need entertainment with it, then go to the places where it costs ten times more.

Typical Thai government!

Making something out of nothing, acting like this is the first time in a century they are coming! Sounding the alarm is what they do best to get the attention! Emptying Isaan for the big boat, thanks for the big laugh. As for weed, stay away from it here, next thing readers get is they find out another jump off the balconey.

I remember when it because legal here, one of the big poster here was into stuff like this he got himself some weed even a good tasting brownie to go along. Next thing he knows at a club he throwing up pass out with his pants down woke up in boys town! LOL!

Fun article.
