[QUOTE=Crocodilexp;1760622]HCMC Vietnam does have Hot Toc hair salons, [I]some[/I] of which offer BJs. They're scattered around town and not easy to find or recognize. The sex scene is not foreigner friendly, plenty of hassle and frustration even for those who know their way around Vietnam and speak a few words of their awful language, let alone a hapless first-time traveler. Service is not nearly as good or consistent as in Thailand, and you will get ripped off by all and sundry if you're not street-smart and familiar with the local prices (sometimes even if you are). On the positive side, Vietnamese working girls are way better looking than in Thailand and you can get cheaper service if you are sharp and know what the locals pay and where they go. Vietnam is never relaxing nor a gentle introduction to mongering in Asia.[/QUOTE]Very well said, sir! Yes, regardless of the commodity, if you don't know your prices the VN will screw you into the ground before you know what hit you. And, no doubt, the VN ladies are better looking overall, and FAR tighter than anybody I ever met in Thailand.

[QUOTE=Sammyt;1760569]All new to me. I've visited LOS 3 times in the last 2 years and on each occasion I bought a SIM card at the DTAC store in Suvarnabhumi Airport arrivals. I've wasn't asked for ID on any occasion. Only Baht.[/QUOTE]It is now mandatory for all pre paid sims to be registered or the vendor can't activate it for you. There are a few vendors who are registering sims under their ID cards and then selling them but now there is a limit being imposed per person. What's the big deal about showing your passport or other ID?

Extension for one month, can only receive incoming calls.

[QUOTE=Fooolishman;1761577]Are there any porn sites in Thailand not block? Tried to access Porn Hub recently but it was blocked.

Thanks,

FM[/QUOTE]Hey there,

You can use a free proxy website to get around the fact that a site is blocked in a country. The one that I use is [URL]https://hide.me/en/proxy[/URL] , simply go there, enter the website you wish to visit and off you go!

FM[/QUOTE]Your post begs the question. Why would you need pornhub, I site I adore, in BKK?

Haha, sand to the beach. Reminded me of this joke.

I don't believe the site is blocked by the govt, but by specific internet services. However they have been cracking down so it's possible.

First, at my age, I am probably the oldest member on this board, I need all the help I can get to "get it up". Secondly, If you have never watched.

Porn with your lady friend, then you do not know what you are missing. Hope this answers you question.

FM[/QUOTE]I'm in my low 40"s and sometimes fire up a little porn before heading out too. So don't sweat any negative comments.

And I concur watching some with the right girl can make things even better in the bedroom.

If you haven't registered yet, do so ASAP. Otherwise lose it for good end of October.

For US travelors who wonder why exchange booths don't like our 50 dollar bills.

[QUOTE=LaoMan;1768996]FYI prostitution is not legal in Thailand, believe it or not.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Wolvenvacht;1769090]Please, read the law before you post this kind of nonsense.[/QUOTE]This is just useless dribble and is taking up precious bandwidth that Jackson kindly provides for us. Here is the dam link to the Thailand criminal code in English. You two can debate till your hearts content in the general thread.

[QUOTE=Wolvenvacht;1769088]When girls that work in soapies can fly business class then surely someone (and probably more than one!) has been over-paying. ;)[/QUOTE]I would beg to differ. How can you overpay in a soapie?? The prices are set. Oh yes and you shouldn't tip! If we tip, we will drive the prices up! A more plausible scenario is she has a foreign boyfriend who sends her money but she continues to work. I'm sick and tired of people talking about overpaying, tipping and safe sex. There is a general thread to talk about this crap and a safe sex thread if you want to play doctor. Do what you want guys, prices will always reflect supply and demand. I don't care what anyone says but this has been and will always be the bedrock principle behind pricing in every industry. I know some people will say that the girls raise prices in the offseason but what if none one partakes? It won't take that lady too long to lower her price when her rent is due and she can't pay or she needs to pay her tuition, or her deadbeat Thai husband or boyfriend gets in trouble. Here's a doozie for you Wolvenvacht. I have tipped 1,000 Baht in my last 5 visits to Nateree and Snowwhite. Why? Because I got dam good service. Multiple shots, true PSE experience, CIM, and so on. Deal with it! LOL.
