[QUOTE=PinkPearl]Is it illegal in Thailand to look at porn on your personal PC in the privacy of your hotel room? Can sex toys be brought with you to LOS?
[/QUOTE]
Porn is technicall illegal in Thailand which is why you don't see porn shops on every corner. However it is widely available on the street and in Pantip Plaza. Sex toys are available but hard to find and expensive. It's best to bring your own.

On Sukhumvit i am sure i saw a sign saying "porn" for sale with nude DVDs. And at more than one shop w/i a block of NEP i could buy magazines with nude TGs on the cover. And yet i read about this crackdown:

Another general question...when is a picture a porn picture?
Does having pics of your wife constitute porn?
Is it true if only ONE of those girls shows her nipples on your screen, then you committed a crime and will be subject to deportation.[/QUOTE]
Retired Army may answer best to the subject, however even if it is a general question I wonder the following:
In Thailand nice girls are available for any kind of private fun.
Therefore I doubt there is any need to look for porn movies, unless it would be illegal stuff, which I wouldn't assume here. So why bother with this.
There is plenty of legal Thai porn available in the internet from models presentations up to reality type stuff like 'Bargirls in Action' or such.
Maybe its better to make your own movie if you bring along a Video camera, some nice dresses and some toys. It has the advantage to be in the middle of the action.

I had many WCP, and Devilsfilms shortpornflicks on my laptop and when I was in the shower the girls would be watching two bruthahs double penetrating some cute biker girl and they'd tell me they didn't get off on it, but their lower jeem would be dripping. This is stuff you can download from established, Legal US Websites. I told the customs guys about it when I got back after they asked what I had on the laptop and they smiled and shook their head at me and scolded me, saying I could get in serious trouble in other countries, and be detained, etc. No 'mo porn for the pooyings!! It definately got the girls going. I woke up hours after a nice session and this BKK girl was watching them. I reached over, up and under and she was foaming below. I would never want to give underpaid Asian cops a reason to sign me up as a provider for their pension plan. Pantip has quite a porn selection but who needs porn in Thailand?

My straight-laced very proper Thai GF loves porn. Wonder why?
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Thai police officers who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring "Hello Kitty," the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday. Hello Kitty is not something "macho police officers want covering their biceps," a Thai police chief says. Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late -- among other misdemeanors -- will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won't wear the armband in public.
The striking armband features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts. "Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok. "(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps," Pongpat said.
He said police caught breaking the law will be subject the same fines and penalties as any other members of the public. "We want to make sure that we do not condone small offenses," Pongpat said, adding that the CSD believed that getting tough on petty misdemeanors would lead to fewer cases of more serious offenses including abuse of power and mistreatment of the public by police officers. Hello Kitty, invented by Sanrio Co. in 1974, has been popular for years with children and young women.

You are absolutely right with what you are saying on that part of unsafe BKK but I would not go in to a discussion on that " dark alley " part as the subject was mainly on tourist or farang visiting areas.
I have been often in factory’s far outside BKK and have seen and hear all this kind of things as you mention and my local guy’s (drivers) have had most of the time a handgun in the car, wondered why? No. Remember the time that Min. Thaksin ordered to clean the streets from drug gangs and the police just shot the kid’s without any question, you should be in the line of fire at that time.
I mentioned only about the tourist areas and not the city’s backstreet district where we have nothing to search like in many other city’s. If one run’s in to trouble it is mostly his own fold, would you end up in the " BKK Hilton ", not me, I received something scaring this week, just click on this link below (play film) and see how they treat prisoners in Malaysia but it’s the same situation in Thailand (have the pictures)

I have not seen tourists raided by Thai gangs in the BKK tourist areas (maybe I am blind) while it is common in other city’s like Jakarta, KL, HKG etc, not talking about London, Amsterdam, Brussels and others in Europe where the shopping street scene is daily dominated by Moroccan or black gangs.
I say safe Tokio, see how that is changing, I was there often till 6 years ago, great nightlife area’s where boy’s and nice dressed geishas girls welcome you to get in the clubs and places for fun, Last time I was there is 2 years ago with a interval of 4 years and the night scene is completely changed, just scaring now, 95% of the area is run by mainly black doorman, Nigerians and other black nationals, they pulling aggressive on your shirt to get you inside and fights between them for claiming which one his customer you are. Result, you just leave the area after a few bad experiences, like having to pay to leave the club again, why? Because we did not screw one of these Eastern block girls inside the club that charges you a fortune, calculated by the minute you spend with them. Behind the curtain. Don’t understand how these blacks all can stay there on expired or short term visa. Just bad to see how quick this can change and let’s hope that this will not happen in Thailand wher most things still working with a smile.
Keep it safe guy’s.

There is a very interesting podcast at
[url]http://expatgirl.com/[/url]
from a Western woman living in Thailand giving her view of the sex trade.
It provides a different perspective than what we normally see on this site.
Too bad it appears that she gave up after the first podcast.
JPF,
She's not telling us anything we don't know.
Instead of whining on the internet, she should try and get herself a boyfriend. She claims it is hard for her to get one but I know hundreds of Thai Guys who would love to be with her LOL.
As far as I am concerned, I am young, single and have fun with Thai girls! The Day I'll want to enter a Serious relationship, then I will look for a western girl. I am sure a lot of guys here will disagree, but I have had 2 serious Thai Girlfriends and let me tell you the Headaches and Drama were the same (if not worse) than with a western girl.
One thing all Thailand visitors should remember. Never, ever insult a Thai in rude fashion. Spelling out the four letter word easily turns the nicest guy/girl into a gun, knife slinging lunatic, without any reasoning or common sense. And the scariest part is, they will not stop wanting to fight.
Thais are very emotional in all things, and overall lack a sense for reality as we - foreigners - know it. Every day gruesome murders take place for the most ridiculous reasons. This is hardly ever documented in the local English press. Shootings during daylight hours for minor traffic offenses are normal.
Case in point is the much documented recent story of the rich kid, who’s car cut off by a bus. He confronted the bus driver, smashed his face with a brick and after bus passengers made fun of him he got back in his car ran over a number of bystanders. One women died. The crowd then attempted to lynch him.
One last point. Not all Thai's like foreigners. This is probably the most common mistake tourists and expats make, assuming that its is ok to live here. For many Thai's it is not.

In fact, very few Thais like foreigners.
But they like the money we bring in !
[QUOTE=Old Thai Hand]In fact, very few Thais like foreigners.[/QUOTE]
I would have thought that this was exaggerating a little.
I like foreign women. I don't like Australian women much (my own country).
I know many Thai women you are fed up with Thai men and seem to prefer foreigners even though there are many arsehole foreigners around as well.
Some Thai men are a continual drain on the families resources always needing money for suspect purposes.
At least Foreigners are usually bringing money rather than draining/stealing it.
When I met my GF's daughter aged 7 we got on famously well. Seems she had no real prejudices about large Farangs. She is a sweet darilng.
I won't go into how Thai men find me in detail but have found some to be very friendly indeed beyond expectations.
Young children do not have any prejudices till life teaches them otherwise or bigot parents do it.
Yes, Thai people really love their country. I was in the movie theater with my GF. As usual everybody stands up when they show the king thing.
I am an american and will not stand for any king real or imagined.
My gf argued with me all the way home.

I think maybe the Thais dislike only those foreigners who have access to all the generals, beautiful girls, and high salaried teaching positions in the kingdom. :)
