So likely just to skip it but have read some reports on the net about this not being an issue. Would be great to get some clarity without which. As you say. No point in taking any chance.

I never saw it in many years. Police raids are more commonly concerned about several things: Underage girls, girls not Thai citizens, perhaps drugs found on them, Yaa Baa (Yaba) or Ice, and perhaps testing girls that seem spaced out. Would they really test all the customers too?

One guy I knew, took on a girl addicted to Ice, no clue why he accepted this, since she was total unsuitable, far too young and untrustworthy. He admitted to trying it himself, so he would know what it is like. Subsequently she would steal his valuables. E. g. Phone, and sell them to finance her drug purchases. As if he would not know this would be likely. Idiot. Eventually he died probably prematurely.

I had no idea what poopers are so had to look it up being inhaled Amyl Nitrates. Apparently can act as an anal relaxant. Ha ha. Suitable for gays and girls in PSE shops.

I quote this I read on a medical site:

"Taking the drug in this way can cause irregular and rapid heart rhythms and result in a syndrome called "sudden sniffing death".
Also, poppers can have other complications that are potentially fatal. For example, researchTrusted Source in rats indicates that the chemicals in poppers may be toxic to the brain and inhibit learning and memory".

So definitely not a safe recreation.

I read that you cannot buy poppers in Thailand and is banned. So not legal. Not worth the risk I am sure.

As a traveller in Thailand, you carry ID with you at all times? My last trip when trying to enter Crazy House I was asked for my passport. I didn't have the original or a copy on me. The doorman was asking all Asians. No bother for me but I prefer to keep my pockets light and hence don't carry my passport.

I'm sure heavy use of poppers is seriously not a good idea. But the are excellent for short heightened enjoyment of sex. They are on sale in Spain, Germany, UK, USA, Australia without any restriction or prescription. A lot of things are dangerous if used excessively. I don't use poppers more than a couple of times a month but if you find a girl you click with they inject great fun.

But given the apparent lack of knowledge about them being legal or not in Thailand from senior members of this forum, I agree it is just not worth the risk and will skip. They aren't that important but a shame. Bit like saying thin condoms are illegal. You can still have a lot of fun without them but perhaps more fun with them.

A photocopy could be an option as well. Losing my passport far outweighs the hassle of not having a real passport on my body. FYI never been asked for a passport in over 4 years living in Pattaya and Bangkok.

As for CH did all the Asians look young and the Farangs look old or are you saying even 50 year old Asians were checked and 20 year old Farang were not. I'd just walk away of any gogo bar asked me for my passport. Never seen any bar I've been at in Thailand ever asking to see a passport though.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2403001]As for CH did all the Asians look young and the Farangs look old or are you saying even 50 year old Asians were checked and 20 year old Farang were not.[/QUOTE]While I was there the doorman checked all East Asians for ID regardless of age. I may have posted about it here at the time last Sep 2018. Other forums said it was to make sure I wasn't Thai.

I'll be in Bangkok in about a month. I'm mostly not looking to monger (not that into Asian women) but I would like to see this infamous side of the city.

I was hoping why'all could help me put together a sampler of a night. I was actually thinking of checking out something like this: [URL]https://bizarrebangkoktours.com/tours/red-light-bangkok/[/URL].

Maybe I should just use their itinerary as a guide and visit the establishments myself? I'm straight but I'm open to seeing how the gay and katoey clubs work. Also what clubs are for Japanese salarymen, and what clubs are for old Westerners hooking up with girls from the countryside? Will there be an entry fee or drink minimum at these clubs?

I know there are three main areas: Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza and Patpong. Which of the three is best for just casual observers? Which of the three is best for finding a girl?

A month in Bangkok is too long if you won't be mongering much, unless you have to work there. Travelling to other places would be a must for most.

Thaniya is for Japanese near Pat Pong, and there is a Gay Soi nearby. Pat Pong, Nana Plaza and Cowboy have several LB clubs (not difficult find) but some like DC10 maybe risky, and we are not permitted to get into non hetero things on this forum. Most gogo bars are for old guys meeting country Thai girls, however some bars have 98% South East Asian customers these days, and very few western guys.

For Nana Plaza I recommend Billboard. Some others may like Rainbow bar. For Cowboy, worth looking at Crazy House, Baccarat, Dollhouse, Kazy to see what you like. I don't really like any particular clubs, it depends only on particular girls.

You may as well try Oily Massage places, Soapy Massage, Street walkers, Thermae Caf, Discos, Nightclubs. Look at everything and see what you like. Possible to find poor girls anywhere so be cautious.

You will be used beautiful women in Europe so most of the Russian and similar types in Thailand, will just not be good enough. Very ordinary looking Russians seen now and then. Most of us don't bother to go there.

I know zero about this topic but what is the norm to pay for a dowry and a couple of wedding rings in Thailand?

The only question I have, after watching the video, is who would give his supposed fiance 2000 baht for ST? Not me, although she is a pretty good actress. 555.

And to answer your question, I wouldn't pay 200 let alone 2000 for ST with her.

Took a quick look at the video and it ws too long didn't watch (tl: dw). I admit to being ignorant of the outcome of the documentary.

Its barely watchable. Any idiot can upload a YouTube video and call themselves a YouTube celebrity. It's a cynical video of no merit. Everyone comes off in a bad light (if real) or if fake, it's even more cynical. Is it like the bachelor designed to make us guffaw at the loser and his money grubbing thai bride.

David and his ho, I mean his wife are now paid commentators on other 90 day shows as they have become two of the more popular characters from that show. Not bad for a former unemployed but still overweight dunce and an ex bar girl with the charisma of Opebo.
