Quick reminder of scams etc
I know this stuff is obvious for senior members (and well, most people who have their head on straight) but worth a reminder to anyone out here. The following is an email sent out from Thai Love Links to Platinum Members so thought I'd share it with everyone here.
As a side note- I am arriving BKK in a week or so for the 3rd time, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a decent hotel / apartment for longer stay in the center near the action, preferably with a pool and good gym on site or nearby. I'll be indoors alot due to work, and will need reliable fast internet. I'm hoping to budget between 5-7k a week, or around 20k a month. Thanks in advance for any tips / guidance on this.
Here's the email:
"Every country in the world has a small minority of people who are dishonest. The internet offers new opportunities for criminals and dishonest individuals to extort money from unsuspecting individuals. In order to avoid any problems it is better to be overly cautious.
Here are some tips and suggestions:
* NEVER send cash to someone you have only met online, but have not yet met in person.
* Common examples of scams include requests for money to pay for large items such as plane tickets, legal fees, visa fees, medical expenses, marriage annulment fees etc.
* If you ever consider assisting someone in another country who you met online to visit you then first check their visa eligibility with your Immigration department.
* NEVER send cash for someone from another country to purchase a plane ticket, pay for visa or legal costs or anything else associated with a visit to you. If you feel you must assist this person then always buy the ticket yourself directly, on the behalf of the visitor and check that the ticket can be refunded in case you need to cancel it.
* Similarly, if you must pay for visa fees, annulment fees or other large expenses always pay the expense directly after you have verified the invoice and organization issuing the invoice is genuine.
* Some people in developing countries may ask for small amounts of money to pay for internet access or phone costs for communicating with you. We recommend never sending money to anyone you have not yet met in person.
* Be suspicious of people who appear to be overly persistent or aggressive in their requests for money.
* Be particularly suspicious of people who request more money as soon as you send something."
Another couple nights in BKK
Last time I was in town I met this girl from Samui at Climax disco. She was so tall and beautiful and standing out of the crowd in her red dress that I thought for sure she had to be a LB. She kept being approached by young guys and turned them all away, I came to her with a drink in hand. Poor thing was submitted to heavy questionning on my part, I even ended up gently putting my hand up her crotch in the disco (not the classiest thing to do I would admit, it was really an alcohol-induced decision and we were in the middle of a gyrating crowd). I just had to be sure. Turns out she really is a she, works for a real estate agency in Samui and her company sent her to BKK for a few days with some other girls, they decided to finish the night at Climax more or less to make some extra money. Adding credibility to her story is the fact that she was staying at Marriott's Executive Apartments. High class lady, previously married to a Thai policeman, divorced and raises her daughter by herself. We had a short but fantastic time in spite of the fact that we were both quite drunk. She told me it was her first orgasm since her divorce, wow. She did not want any money at the end of the night, I nevertheless gave her 3K to buy some perfume and she took it. We stayed in contact by email.
Now I am back in BKK, where she was supposed to meet me, and she has not answered emails in a week or her phone today. Not wanting to waste too much time I went to Baccarat at 1:30AM last night, exactly 2 hours after my plane landed at Suvarnabhumi. Bad idea, some drunk short curly blond hair girl started kissing me, she was holding a drink and because I was watching the stage rather than her, it took a couple drinks before I realized she was actually ordering at the bar and adding her beers to my tab without anyone asking me, just because she was hanging around and occasionally holding me. I signaled a waitress that I was not paying for this girl's drinks but somehow they still served her another one. I left the bar within 15 minutes of entering after paying my drink and 2 of hers, just because Baccarat is normally my favorite bar and I did not feel like making a scandal for 10 bucks. But I am disappointed that management would let this continue after I reported it.
Walked into Shark and the choice there was much better. One beautiful girl named Nip kept smiling to me, I invited her over and bought her a drink, she was very nice (hugging, kissing in the bar) and I did not feel like scouring the discos for a better choice with the inevitable possibility of running into a LB (my phobia as you may have guessed). She quoted 4K for TLN, I countered at 3K and she just would not accept, even with the bar closing. I figured she was not going to sell herself for less and agreed to pay 4K. She was worth every baht and then some, total GFE, had a great time, she stayed until after breakfast, I may even repeat even though that is direct violation of my rule#1 (whatever rule #1 is, I think it changes every week).
Went to NEP tonight, started at Obsession bar and realized after about 2 minutes that it was full of LBs, I realize they are all ladyboys but it would be hard to tell if not for the obviously masculine type that composes about 50% of the population there. The other half just looks like girls, even in swimming suit. Left the place within 5 minutes and tried to go to Caroussel, which is closed. Ended up at "erotic bar" or something like that, on the first floor left of the plaza entrance, there is a sign outside that advertises a glass floor. I did not see a glass floor, or maybe a very small one that was not in use. I found the place interesting anyway because of the rituals that go on there, mamasan puts oil on her hands and blesses the tummies and foreheads of the girls on stage, girls draw penises on the floor with oil and at the door of the bar and some other rituals, such as for example girls drawing penises on each other's bodies while dancing. I never saw anything like that before. I then tried to go to Rainbow 4 but was blocked by a LB who grabbed my genitals and would not move. I quickly turned around (after duly recovering what belongs to me from the LB's hand) and left the plaza. Way too many LBs for me here, I understand why they are so numerous after hours at Nana Liquid disco, they just cross the street.
To avoid a repeat of the Obsession fiasco, I went back to my hotel to RTFF. Decided to move to Soi Cowboy and sample Toy and Afterskool just to see what happens there. Never made it. I walked into Suzy Wong first and within minutes a big and ugly mama san who told me I did not need to buy her a drink was sitting next to me, asking about my tastes, making recommendations and giving me the detailed history and age of every girl (where they came from, if they were good in bed or not and how she trained them to do BJs and how tight their black box is, it was hilarious). She recommended a tall. 5'8, 90 lb girl. 18 yo, started working a month ago, directly from her province. She told me she was going to organize a lesbian show on stage just so I could see this girl closer, and sure enough within 5 minutes that girl was on stage with her tongue inside another dancer's pussy. After the show she brought the girl over and the mamasan was placing my hands all over this girl's body. I felt bad for the girl but quickly got over my remorse, realizing that if it was not me it was going to be the monger sitting next to me. Paid the 600B bar fine, a 100B tip for the mama so that she would get her hands off from under my shorts, and off I went with "Not" (I think that is what she told me, she is #73). Girl speaks almost no English, has the body of a fashion model and a pretty face, is very quiet and not the active type, but not a starfish, she is inexperienced and shy. But what a treat, that is if you like the tight and gently moaning type. 2K ST, well worth it also. If you see her, treat her well, she is a sweetheart.
The plan for tomorrow is either Mango (is any particular girl a must try?) , where I have always had PSE or Eden where I have never been, not even sure where it is. I am also looking for a soapie, I have been to Annie's but it is not really a soapie, more of a massage place with a possible soapie depending on the girl. I think I have read names like Poseidon and Amsterdam, I used to go to J1 years ago, not sure what it is like today. If anyone can just give a quick recommendation I would really appreciate, so I don't have to RTFF through the numerous posts on this board.
I will keep experiencing until I eventually hook up with my Samui GF, and if I don't, oh well I will have to turn to a pretty face and body with a 3 letter name for consolation (Nok from Baccarat comes to mind).
