[QUOTE=Samarth;1872230]Hi,

Do all gogo and massage places will be active and girls availability will be good during June / July?

Planning a trip for a week to BKK end of June.

Happy mongering![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Wolvenvacht;1872892]Even at times when the number of girls is at an all time low, there will be still much much more girls than you can ever hope to make love to!

Don't fear that you will not be serviced in June or July. It is business as usual.[/QUOTE]And while so many punters seem to be chasing the elusive 'once in a lifetime experience' with the hottest lady imaginable; reality is we are [I]renting[/I] and not [I]buying[/I] so go with the flow and enjoy the many options that will be at your disposal.

Some species of the Thai human prey animal should be taken out and shot... on second thought that's probably too good for them[/QUOTE]And I suppose this sort of thing never happens in the United States or other western countries?

[QUOTE=LAGuy5;1872965]And I suppose this sort of thing never happens in the United States or other western countries?[/QUOTE]Thai lowlifes beating the shit out of innocent elderly tourists purely for sport on the streets in full view of the public -- cold cocking and kicking them in the face while they're down -- happens far more frequently in Thailand than anywhere else on the planet as far as I know. But whether it happens elsewhere or not, what would that have to do with how to deal with predatory human animals in Thailand?

What's your point?

[QUOTE=Benjamino7;1871648]Hello all,

I search after the cheapest Asian girls, where I have to go? Thailand is not the cheapest country no? Perhaps Philippine? Or Cabodge? Or where in Thailand??[/QUOTE]Looking for cheap? The absolute cheapest option I have heard of is street girls in Angeles City, Philippines. Some will have sex with you for 50 peso. Hard to beat, right? I have never tried this myself, but was told by local men that I know well. These girls of course cater mostly to local trike riders etc. You will find them in the back streets. Many are young and many are on drugs. You have been warned.

[QUOTE=Tomasb;1872810]There are plenty of girls who will gladly take 3 k for LT. Maybe you are hanging out at Spasso's too much?[/QUOTE]Thinking about it, you're right. Due to my natural attirance for stunning face and extrovert / funny girl, It happens that all the girl I approached were very often coyotes.

Hence the outstanding prices.

But still. In Pattaya, and even better in Patong, same quality asks for 2 K LT.

Big difference I noticed is that the standard in BKK is ST; in Patong, standard is LT.

Maybe next time, I'll fly straight to Phuket, and bypass BKK. I had much much more fun and GFE in Phuket. And girls are far away less pushy than in BKK.

Visa Help:

Do I need to get the multiple entry visa to do 5 plus trips to Thailand in a year?

I have 5 paid trips of 4 days each in / out with etickets and hotel reservation about 5 weeks apart to Bangkok.

For the past 5 plus years, I have entered Thailand on the Exemption VOA and departed before the 30 days.

My last trip the agent looked at all the in / out entries. Nothing was said. Just want to do this correct.

Since I had already had more than six entries in the year it took a bit of talking to get admitted, but with the provision that any more would require a visa. Whew! I got in, and then got a multiple entry visa for entries after that. Cost was $200 for the visa. Since then I've always entered with that multiple entry visa (which gets me 90 days instead of 30 days) with no problem. Not legal advice, just one person's experience about six months ago.

Nobody has ever questioned me.

Maybe because it is from or to Internstional destination (not just cross the border).

Maybe it is because I am not a cute 20 year old Laos or Cambodian girl but an old farang and the declared income (never forget to fill that part of the form, guys!) is the equivalent of a dozen of girls, LOL.

I am always issued a 30 or 60 days, can't remember, not bothered. The most I have stayed has been 10/12 days.

The rule you mention might be there but it might be enforced at discretion of the officer.

It is probably meant to hit the visa runs: 60 day visa makes 6 entries. In one year, more or less.

So applicable if they feel, there is something going on (or they don't share the envelope for the tea money by some travel agency specialised in visa runs, a profitable industry in Thailand, where everybody makes money).

[/QUOTE]I recall from years back that what was important was not how many times you came in / out but the total time you stayed. If you exceeded 6 months, then a visa was required. In one year back in early 2000, I made 4 business trips to Asia that resulted in flying in / out of Bkk at least 7 (maybe more) times. The total days actually in Bkk was less than 30 so didn't have a problem.

[QUOTE]Furthermore, foreigners who enter the Kingdom under this Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme may re-enter and stay in Thailand for a cumulative duration of stay of not exceeding 90 days within any 6-month period from the date of first entry.[/QUOTE][URL]http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/4908/15380-Questions-&-Answers-on-Thai-Visa.html[/URL]

So it seems that it is not the number of entries but rather the cumulative duration of your stay that applies.

Just passing through the international section of the airport on your way to another foreign destination (without passing immigration) does not count at all of course.

"90 days in a period of 6 months" is little less than half of the time. So it means that if you intend to stay for more than 50% of your time in Thailand, you are more like a resident than a tourist and should follow the rules for residency rather than tourism.

Hello All Thanks.

Appreciate all the input on the exemption visa. I am USA citizen next trip will be in July with 4-day stay.

Will go via air to Bangkok to enter on the 30-day exemption VOA. Will keep you posted.

[QUOTE=SirWilliam4;1873994]I was led to believe that all of the recent changes were part of the campaign to deal with people overstaying their time in the country.[/QUOTE]Most likely that is the reason. They have set the law, then they use it when needed. Certainly not on the guys a zillion time but staying also relatively short times. The screen in front surely has all our IN and OUT in the system.
