Just curious, but I have another "conference" coming up next year but now I'm relatively newly wed. (no judgements on this posts please). So here is my question:
Does anyone have experience using a VPN to mask location? I have NordVPN on my phone and I think I could log into a US server, but would it show my location as the city of the server? Does anyone here have experience "going on a business trip" but actually skipping over to Thailand for a week or so? Are you successful at concealing your location or any serious questions?
I already have pictures at a local conference event planned right before my trip that I will use as "cover" for me. I'm just going to pack the same clothes that I have in the pictures I will take. I've done similar before but never overseas.
Does anyone have luck with it? Or is there a high level senior member that hears about guys trying it all the time and always failing?
I have android, my wife has iphone so I don't have to worry about the iphone location sharing stuff. I don't use snapchat or instagram. We mostly use facebook messenger to talk because that's what we used when we were dating, but if she "insists" I use some location so she can just see where I am, I don't want to outright refuse. Just trying to cover all the bases I can.
PM me if you want to join in.

[/QUOTE]There is already a high level of thought gone in to this judging from the above. If you google how to fake / spoof your GPS location you will find various apps that can help trick your phone. I have used some to change my location when using skout / Tinder. I'd do some research download one or two and try a few dummy runs before you leave home. When abroad I'd leave my 'Normal' phone in the safe in the hotel with spoof GPS and buy a cheap burner and sim for all local comms.
Also don't forget to use android / google settings to turn off location access for absolutely everything (or completely) except the apps you choose.

I am going for a REAL CONFERENCE in March 2023 at BKK. I want to use my I phone 13 for reaching out to escorts / freelancers and sideline girls. I am there for 5 days. Do I need a another phone for 5 days OR can I put a second SIM in I-Phone 13?. Thanks.
Never used Thai Friendly but I know others on here have. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting in a bar in Hua Hin and was talking to a lady who uses Thai Friendly. It was hilarious as she showed me on her phone some of the profiles guys put up, and then told stories of some of the losers she has had dealings with. She is not a freelancer but is looking for a sugar daddy.

If your current line isn't on your eSIM have it switched by your provider before you go then once you arrive in Thailand you can buy a local SIM for the physical slot and have both lines active at once, switching out the physical SIM when in different countries, etc.
Full lunar eclipse in Thailand.
Pattaya.
Bolt. This has been my main source of transportation since I have arrived to Thailand. A short ride from say LK Metro to Kinnaree will run 50-60 baht. A longer run from Terminal 21 to Jomtien will cost 80-100 baht, depending on the negligible price surge. Average wait time is around 1-6 minutes. Add a few minutes to your wait time from what you see in the Bolt app. Lots of drivers haven't seemed to figure out what the blue location dot on their map means. If you hire a cheaper male driver almost always expect a call from a male driver who does not speak English trying to get you to walk somewhere so he doesn't have to drive as far to get to you. That is one of the reasons I usually always try getting the more expensive lady drivers. If nothing else they speak English. Do expect the lady drivers to have much smaller cars though so don't request one if you have luggage. Men usually drive Hilux and Fortuner so just request Economy and not Comfort or Luxury and you will likely get to sit in a truck. If your luck is bad you will get a normal taxi with a low class taxi driver! Comfort and Luxury are around double the price. Bolt is the way to go in Pattaya especially if you don't want to arrive at a club sticky and sweaty.
Grab. I gave up using Grab after the first few days. Not once was a normal Grab Car even cheaper than a Luxury Bolt vehicle. If I am doing something wrong with Grab let me know.
Regular taxi. So happy I didn't have to deal with these idiots this trip.
Baht bus. Took a handful of times usually along Soi Buakhao heading to Walking Street or Central. The majority of men do not wear masks and yes there are a ton of people coughing these days in Pattaya, including myself. Most women continue wearing masks. Still great value at only 10 baht but there are places like Kinnaree or some of the outer G clubs where it makes no sense to take a baht bus over a Bolt these days.
Bangkok. Only spent 5 days here over the past 4+ weeks so my experience is limited.
Bolt. Either there is extremely high demand or very few Bolt drivers in the BKK Sukhumvit area. Wait time is usually 10 minutes to infinity. Prices the same as Pattaya. In order to take Bolt I always paid double for the Luxury or Comfort vehicles rather than wait.
Grab. See Pattaya above. Limited availability like Bolt too.
Regular taxis. Tried 3 times when we couldn't find a Bolt. Not once would a taxi turn on their meter. Wasn't there a recent law saying drivers would be penalized harshly for not using meters?
BTS / MRT. This really is the way to get around BKK. Most things are within walking distance or a short Bolt ride from BTS.
Tuk tuk. Since I had a visitor with me in BKK she wanted to use a tuk tuk. For fun I would let her try negotiating a price. She was always quoted 200 baht no matter how short the travel distance was. I would grab her and start walking away. Then I would hear the driver yelling 150. As we kept walking we heard a 100. Normally I would still negotiate more but she wanted to shoot YouTube videos of her riding in a tuk tuk we agreed to 100. Apologies for overpaying guys.
All in all Bolt is a Godsend. Finally Thailand has a very cheap means of comfortable transportation like Grab in other SEA countries.
Hope that is helpful for those coming to Thailand over the next couple of months.

It also says InDriver is available in Pattaya and Bangkok.
But I've never tried it there.

Baht bus is of course the best value and fun as well.
Bangkok also has MuvMi but I gave up trying pretty quickly when I couldn't figure out how to get from one zone to another. It may work for a short ride from Cowboy to NEP though assuming they are in the same MuvMi zone.

[/QUOTE]Have you linked a credit card with Grab pay? I have noticed that a friend of mine has difficulty hailing Grab's whilst I can get one within a miniute even when standing right next to him. The only difference is that I've been able to link a credit card and he hasn't.
A lot of the times, drivers don't keep enough cash / change on them, so they might have the option to filter out rides paying in cash.
Only cash for me with Grab in Thailand. Bolt too. I figured this was a Thai thing since Thailand is really still a cash society once you leave the shopping malls.
