Thanks for the advice and accounts regarding US Customs and bringing back prescription drugs. It seems like it is safe to bring back a small supply so I'll try that and hope I don't get in trouble somehow! Now I just gotta find out where to get the stuff, so I'll start reading some old posts.

Hey Guys,
For me, U.S. Customs are a pain in the ass. I get searched every time I return to America these days. The drill goes something like this:
Q: You've been gone six (last time was nine) months?
A: Yep
Q: Do you have a job there?
A: Nope
Q: What do you do over there?
A: Live my life
At this point the guy (or girl) draws a big red slash on my Entrance Form and stamps my Passport.
Then I go and wait for my luggage. Upon trying to pass out of the baggage check the attendent looks at the red mark on my form and directs me to the evil baggage search area. I already know this is going to happen so I'm halfway turned around by the time the attendent returns my form.
The last time I ventured back to America in May it went like this with the evil baggage search attendent:
Q: Did you pack your bags yourself?
A: Yep
Q: Did anyone else handle your bags after you packed them?
A: Of course. I can't very well unload them from the plane can I?
Q: Do you have any illegal drugs or firearms?
Q: Why are you asking me these questions when it's obvious you're going to search my bags anyway?
A: We're doing it for your benefit.
My Response: Thank you so much for trying to help me sir. Now could you hurry up and get this over with and help me get on my way.
As he is searching my bags the man says, "Boy I wish I could take off for nine months like you."
"You should start saving your money now, then you can be treated like a criminal just like me."
He makes me turn on my laptop to make sure it's not a nuclear device. After that he searches my bag of toiletries and comes across a small ziplock bag with five yellow pills in it. "What are these?"
"Those are Tryptanol tablets."
"Are they prescription?"
"I have no idea. I bought them at a pharmacy in Thailand. I wanted a sleep aid and the pharmacist gave me these pills. He never gave me a prescription."
At this point his assistant snatches the tablets and runs off with them. Later he comes back and says everything's OK.
After I got home I noticed the b-a-s-t-a-r-d had shaved a small piece from one of the pills. I assume it was for some sort of analysis. Whatever.
Anyway, as I said, U.S. Customs are a pain in the ass. :)

[quote=evil penivel]with enough time and money, it's possible to set up just about anything in bkk. but don't believe for a second it's going to be like gangbang or bukkake parties you see on web sites, dvd or video.
if you're asking if there's any number you can call or place you can walk into that sets up gangbangs/bukkake in which a stranger can participate, i've never heard of any. there are privately arranged sessions with multiple guys and one or two girls, but it's nothing like a film. the girl(s) will suck off or screw the guys one at a time while the others watch - at most she'll suck one while another screws her. no chance that five or ten guys are going to drop loads on her face or the girls will submit to dp.
at the famous star of light in patpong, a lot of the action takes place in the open, in front of other customers. it isn't unusual to see two or three girls working on one guy, but never vice versa. that's not my personal scene at all, but the sol has a very loyal following.
if you want to come on the girl's face or in her mouth, that can be arranged many places, at sol, [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord901][CodeWord901][/url]'s, eden club and others, or negotitated with bgs and flers. but the girls will shy away from anything involving multiple guys and one girl.
evil[/quote]thanks a million to you and all the other generous 'posters' here. i must admit it is daunting for a first-timer to sift through everything, however the newbie guides do help - now its off to bkk,hit & miss ;) one last question if i may, any partcular places associated with s&m?
thanks again

You can get them in any pharmacy on Suk. I suggest price comparison, however. The names to ask for are Penegra, Caverta and Kamagra (among others) if you are looking for generic V. Last June I bought 4x100 mg Penegra in one shop for 400 B and another shop was selling the same for 800 B!

Poster,
Maybe you need a new look. :) I was doing the back-n-forth gig with many multi-month trips all over SE Asia, til I finally rented a place in here BKK. Never once was searched, except for transiting Chicago to London, even though I had originated in SFO. Maybe it's just that SFO is a bit more laid back?

What city are you guys having trouble with customs? I live in Shanghai and typically go back through SFO. Is that a problem airport for customs?
I've not been back in about 18 months so don't know about all this.
I want to bring back some DVD movies. Is that a problem?? Not so concerned about my lap top as there is nothing on it.

i would much rather go through sfo than lax. seems as if the l.a. customs agents have an "attitude." but then again, lax is a much larger and busier airport that sfo.
it depands, counterfit dvd are illegal to bring into the u.s.; but, i doubt they would throw you in jail unless you have suitcases full. however, they will confirep001e them if they are found. i always take them out of the sleeves and write family vacation or some bs like that on the disks.

I just buy a garden-variety CD/DVD case and slide them in. Never questioned once.

-Y[/QUOTE]In the past 17 months I was searched 3 out of 5 times, twice at SFO, once in Amsterdam. Instead of focusing on real threats they're wasting our tax dollars. I don't fit into any category that's typically profiled. Last time, customs official at SFO was surprised to see less than a 2 month period between trips and told me so. He seemed to relax a bit after finding some commercial samples of Thai folk-art. I still believe they're paranoid about drugs when it comes to SE Asia.

I'm a hick from Oklahoma so I normally enter the U.S. via MSP. I admit that I am not very helpful with the Customs Offcials. In fact, I am probably a complete asshole when I talk with them so I guess I am getting the treatment I deserve.
As a side note, I am fully satisfied with their helpful kindness. That must make me some sort of sicko sadist type na ja. ;)

Nuthin' wrong with being a hick - my grandpa on my dad's side was exactly that, till he moved west (shades of John Steinbeck). Hope you have better luck in the future. Keep up the positive attitude! :)

If you've arrived back from Bangkok in the last four months or so, I would like to make you a proposal. PM me the details and contact information for any lady with whom you had a great experience. I promise to treat her with respect. In exchange, I'll send you details and contact information on anyone with whom I have a great experience when I go to Bangkok in October.

I fly 100-150k internationally a year, and rarely get searched. I can think of one time in the last 3 years, and that's because I had 3 huge checked bags (full of Thai stuff). I do think that Thailand sets off a bell or two. I even expect to be searched when I come back and have transited Amsterdam, Thailand, Indonesia and the like, but doesn't seem to make a difference yet.
When I've brought back 30-40 DVDs in the past, I put them in a medium sized camera bag (in an inside pocket) that I hand carry, and never been searched. I believe you can bring back 1 "suspect" DVD, but they may make you toss the rest. I never get the big boxed kind anymore, but just the ones in a little sleeve.
