Safe Sex and Sex Related Discussions in Thailand

RCA is making a comeback.

Route 66 merged with Interstate and has been converted into a very cool and extremely popular venue. I went a few weeks ago and had to stand in line to enter! Route 66 is definitely a good pick-up joint but certainly no P4P unless you meet a student who can't live without the latest Nokia. Any mongers wanting to pick up here should go with Thai friends, it isn't the sort of place to lurk alone.

RCA is certainly quieter than the old days and I didn't even see one Thai-teen gang-fight!

All in all though, I still prefer Ratchada.

OK - where is RCA (or what does it mean) and no comic RTFF response (I usually don't venture much in BKK)

Dinghy:

Read the... oh, sorry.

RCA = Royal City Avenue.

thanks I think... It's not a location talked about that I remember reading much before -Now that I know, i'll either look on a map or ASK (assuming I just decide to venture out there next trip)

Dinghy:

RCA is pretty much 99% Thai. Mostly students, but slowly attracting the Thai hi-so crowd.

Certainly not a good place for mongers, but if you've got special skills it's easy enough to pick-up there. Otherwise you'll leave feeling fucking frustrated at the hotties you couldn't chat to, and take it out on some poor Sukhumvit harlot.

Nearest BTS is probably Asok or Phrom Phong but best to take a taxi. In fact, you'd have to take a taxi from the BTS anyway. Typical Thai student scene- entrance fees, 1am closing, occassional police [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] testing, motorbike crashes etcetera.

Coma - pood pa-sa Thai kongchun is about sam-kreung bee dek khon thai (to those who want to know - I speak like a 3-1/2 year old) getting dee gwar, though

You want to say:

Pom pood parsah Thai dai geng tao gab dek Thai ar yuu sahm kuab.

(Note: for ages under about ten you say "Kuab" instead of "Bee").

Keep it up Dinghy, you'll improve in no time.

I don't think anyone would dispute the fact that prostitutes are "dirtier" (in every sense of the word), and have higher STD prevalence than non-working girls. [/QUOTE]

That's for sure, however, I'm tending to think that pros - well, those catering to farangs at least - are more knowledgeable about STDs and such. The only times I've been concerned about cleanliness has been with part-timers, the one's who only work occasionally. One pulled the 'very shy' routine and didn't want me to bathe with her then when I went in for some DATY it turns out she had an obvious and roaring yeast infection. She didn't even know that anything was wrong! Yea, a lot of STDs don't have any obvious symptoms, but I tend to think that the real pros have a higher awareness and (very hopefully) are cleaner than the non-working girls

Hey guys,

I read a report this evening in the washington post regarding the Aids rate in Japan that seemed alarming. In it they discuss how the Japanese have always denied the fact that Aids exists in significant numbers in their society etc etc and that lately, due to a number of factors, is has increased very rapidly.

One of the comparisons that they made was in relation to Thailand where they state that, according to the UNAIDS org, 1 in 100 people in Thailand are HIV positive. That seems like a ridiculously high figure! Are these just scare tactics or is there any truth to this?

Dear Mr Pole

I was intrerested in your post. As it gave no references, I looked up the WP and found a year ago the USA was asking, as ever, for Japan to give more money to America's pet projects. Japan has one of the world's lowest HIV rates. One major reason is that there is little IV drug use in Japan. So, follow the money trail with the Washington Post and discount their bs accordingly. Japan has a low HIV rate but its sex industry is largely closed to transient mongers which is just as well for the rest of us;)

As HIV rates are much higher than 1 in 100 in many places, parts of Thailand included, the rate is not ridiculously high as you claim. The bareback, DATY and others here are playing Russian roulette. They can pretend to shuffle and stack the deck all they like but there is a lot of disease out there to help us remember our LOS fling.

Thulolado: Apologists here for these fallen women might argue that they are often cleaner. However, in places like LOS where the customer is always right and where the skanks are illiterate field hands, and where the doctors can only tell them to breathe out on the way up (rinse it after every fuck), caution is probably advised.

Personally, I am saddened that men go to Thailand to abuse these diseased women.

Coma Boy,

thanks for the RCA update. I will give it another chance next time. It used to be a good pick-up joint in the past and I hope it will be as good as it has been.

It seems to have become slightly more pricey and slightly more hi-so, and so isn't as good a pick-up joint as it used to be when it was just Thai teens out of their minds on 100 Pipers.

Domino,

Here is the article if you'd like to read it:

I'm heading back to Thailand in a couple weeks to study at Chula and am looking forward to it regardless. I always cover up so I'm not too worried but one in 100 still seems a bit high. I could understand a figure like that in Africa but recent reports I've read seem to indicate that Thailand has shown a steady decline in new Aids cases in the past few years.

Anyway, better safe than sorry I guess.

Yeah good point...guess I should rephrase that.
