[QUOTE=Skogis;1353904]the Mexican place in Soi 12 also are nice.[/QUOTE]Is that place open again? Ended up at the foodcourt around the corner when those baggers did not update their website and the place was closed for a long renovation but it all in all looked more as a bankrupth andn devastated place. I think this was about 6 months ago and have never been back. Just went to the Mexican in Soi 11 sub, around the corner of Cheap Charley.

What I am looking for are the same collared shirts and golf shirts that normally have the Polo labels on them. I want the same shirts, but with out any logos on them. I find that the shirts are generally very good quality, but I don't want to be worried about the logo police nor do I want to be pretentious wearing logos.
Thanks for any recommendations you may have to this issue.[/QUOTE]I have seen the type of shirt that you are looking for and it is not in any retail shop. It's in an area that would be considered a "garment district" and sold by shops that want to adorn the plain shirt for you with embroidery or whatever. Like for a sports team and usually selling in quantity. But if you can find this area, you've got it nailed. Sorry to be so vague. I did not know where I was at the time. As for a guide, I've seen ads on CL for private tour guides and perhaps one of them could solve this. Maybe a bar girl could too but they are less likely to know about this "insider knowledge"
Hope that helps.
[QUOTE=Rodwint2;1354442]On another topic, I was looking at doing some shopping for specific clothing and was interested in finding out if there was any individual or tour company that provides a private shopper / guide to meet my specific requests. In the past, I have wandered around the Pratunam district and the MBK mall, but found it to be so vast that it would take many days to go through all those venues to find what I want. So I was wondering if there is a tour guide or private shopping guide that specializes in such a service as to find specific items.[/QUOTE]Just about any Bargirl will do the trick. Just take your girl Shopping and not only she will help you find what you are looking for, she will also negotiate price and ensure you don't get ripped off. Buy her a few things (Make-up, shoes) all for 1, 000 thb. She will be over the moon.

Thanks for the information. I remember finding something like that in the Pratunam area near what is now the Indra Regent Hotel many years ago. The Pratunam market is a single level market place on street level at the corner of Petchburi and Rajaprarop. It is across the street from the Platinum Mall that is a highrise complex of wholesalers and retailers.
By any chance, do you remember if the shops you saw were in a high rise building or a single, street level market place (like a bazaar setting)? Thanks to you and NicFrenchy for the bargirl suggestion, except I don't do bars.
[QUOTE=Rodwint2;1353854]For Thai cusine like curries, pad thai, fried rice and soups, any recommendations near Soi 11 where local folks dine? Restaurants or street vendors near by like Soi 5 or 7 are in the general location as well are welcome recommendations. Some folks have mentioned that some bars / pubs near the area also serve good thai food. Would like to hear your experiences and recommendations.[/QUOTE]Don't remember the name of the place but it is downstairs in the Time Square Building on Soi 12. Small place with maybe 7 to 10 tables. Great service and the food is wonderful. Have taken many bar girls there and they all rave about it.
Good luck

If I have time I may go for a stroll to check it out later. So sorry for not updated info

Did not eat there but went for a stroll from exercise purposes (as I did have a night without bridebanging)
[QUOTE=Rodwint2; 1354442]Thanks to Skogis, NicFrenchy and Scorchin for their Thai cuisine recommendations. I will definitely look at those venues.

Thanks for any recommendations you may have to this issue.[/QUOTE]You may want to try Bo Bae Tower near Chinatown. It is about 1000 wholesale garment merchants in one building. I bought several shirts just like you are looking for. They were very high quality and they have sizes to fit even an extremely large farang so sizing should be no problem. Even if you don't speak Thai, you can still bargain using the Universal Translator (calculator)
Thank you for your suggestion.
To all who want to understand Thailand a bit more. This is a must read.

Let's call it: "Thailands trinity: Hegel, Phra Siam Thevathiraj and Thaksin Shinawatra".
Who wrote the piece? Thanong Khanthong, managing editor at Nation Multimedia Group. A man well known for his balanced political views, obviously also specialized in Buddhism and Hegelian Dialectics.

I have a few days free sex on offer from Girl that I was keen on 20 years ago. The problem is her face is not so pretty as before and body not so sexy. She has put on a few kilos and is currently in mid 50s (Kg or more). She smokes daily since many years and so mouth is a bit like an ash tray to me. Stinky brand of cigarettes too. Kissing is therefore out of the question. Pussy is a trimmed but I am still not used to a lot of hair down there.
Fortunately she does a good blow job and therefore I can get it up and perform. I do my duty and give her a good DATY. She was sex starved and so orgasmed many times on first sex session. It feels like I am just doing my duty. I could take it or leave it just as easily. I am not equally sex starved as her.
What is my point? Well we all get spoiled by screwing young hot sexy P4P girls. So when I am with a typical Thai girl, Bpum Bpui (slightly over weight) , only 11 years younger than me, I am not real excited by chance to have sex as often as I like. Unfortunately I am pre-programmed to like girls with slim (Gazelles) to slightly voluptuous physique, but not more.
Can't wait to get back to see a real super hotty. I do have regular girls who are very sexy, but have to admit they are all somewhat younger.
The oldest girl I have been with recently who was still in great very sexy physical shape was still less than 40 year old.
I noticed this in BKK but really much more in Pattaya.
Guys alone. Many many of them. Day after day.
They appear to me to be residents. I am curious as to why?
If I lived in these places I think I would have a lady with me at all times. Maybe a different one each month.
Maybe they are tired of the money grabbing? Maybe they have no money left because she took it all?
Just seemed a bit odd considering the environment.

Actually it gets boring hanging out with these Thai girls after more than a few days. Who knows why. Could be they have a gf but they just happen to not be with them at that time. Or they just a player, but enjoy solitude over hanging out with prostitutes / normal girls. Or they might just be a loser and have certain traits that repel girls LOL. To be frank, there are quite a few wierdo farangs in Thailand..
[QUOTE=Luvpuss;1358713]Guys alone. Many many of them. Day after day.[/QUOTE]I am not really sure what you expect as an answer here, as you are asking guys in the forum to explain the behavior of some 30 other guys you oddly found alone in Thailand?
Which areas did you see this happen? Regular or hookers areas? Or Tourist joints? What age bracket?
I've been here 8 years and would not seriously date any Thai girl. Why? Because of the drama that comes with living with a Thai girl. Tourists will never understand this (neither will sponsors).
Best is to get a Gik and not a gf. Or go see a hooker and get your rocks off.
Being around Thais isn't all that great anyway, unless all you want to talk about is food and "children like conversation". Harsh words, but unfortunately true.
