Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2561269]I have experienced what you say to be true about the dual prices. Only made one trip to Thailand coming up on ten years ago. I Visited Bangkok, Patong Beach and spend some time on Ko Phi Phi Don. Before going over there I spent time on Thai Cupid talking to girls. We went to the mall and she taught me by sending my up to the counter to ask the price a portable speaker while she waited outside the store, than I went and told her it was 250 baht, she asked me to give her 125 baht and she went and got the speaker, so 50% mark up for the farang.[/QUOTE]Or even 100% in places where maths is not understood by the Farang.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2561041]LOL. There is no freaking target on anyone. What lifestyle is he professing to live? Maybe you can not tell from his posts, but MP is a very simple guy that seems is trying to leave less of a carbon footprint than most people. Should he be around there living it up like Caligula? Would that get the target off the backs of retirees?

He might (or used to before Covid) splurge on chicks and in the gogo, but the rest of his life he spends making noodles and buying the stuff the store is getting ready to throw out; living a simple existence. He could rent a car or motorbike, but he always chooses to walk everywhere. Again it is really different thinking you know someone from a few posts they have written and meeting them in real life. Mfs got problems when they think he is living it up and the same mfs have problems when he is living simple. Dammit man! Make up your fucking minds.

In what day has a foreigner ever been able to suck off of Thailand? Hell, Thais can not even suck off of Thailand. They want foreigners that will spend in excess is what they want. If a mf is paying for his room and buying food then he is contributing to the economy. Do you expect him to be buying a new Mercedes Benz every month? What do you consider contributing to the economy?

Exactly. Thais want to bring in foreigners that they can take advantage of. Look at all the dual pricing around. I am a member of a group in facebook that only concerns itself with the dual pricing system that takes advantage of foreigners. How you and your wife of 20 years going to go to a venue and you are charged 2 different prices because no matter how long you have lived there, you will never be Thai? But it is what it is. Not my country, not my rules.

Trips me out reading Thai Visa. Damn foreigners acting like they should own the place and have the same rights and privileges as citizens. Foreigners upset because they can't get first dibs on the vaccine. Mf it is not your country. Their number one priority is to take care of their people. You come not after the last bum on the street, but even after the last pet that citizens own. You are a guest. Take your ass back to where you are a citizen and get your vaccine. What other country just allows mfs to come move in as Thailand does? But give mfs 1 centimeter and they want to take a kilometer. I just shut the fuck up and thank the powers that be that I am allowed to be a visitor there.[/QUOTE]Carbon footprint 555 x 5 k.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2561041]. I just shut the fuck up[/QUOTE]Good advise Mr E. Now if only you followed it.

[QUOTE=TConor;2561291]Carbon footprint 555 x 5 k.[/QUOTE]LOL. Well that is what it seems like to me. I am out stomping around trying to destroy everything in my wake, but it seems he is tiptoeing as not to disturb anything for future generations. Like how scuba diving how you are not supposed to touch anything to leave it for future divers to enjoy. But I am like fuck that, I am touching this shit!

At this national park foreigners pay 5 times more than Thais.

[QUOTE=TConor;2561290]In Europe they do not need duel pricing, they gauge everyone equally.[/QUOTE]Gauge or gouge. I'd say everyone is gouged equally in Europe.

If you really want to help make it 15 so he can turn on the AC as well. He's not really lowering his footprint by showering and using the AC somewhere else he's just getting someone else to foot the bill. This is ridiculous.

I can't recall where doing that has failed but it might have once somewhere.

How are things now for mongering?

I sort of get the impression reading the threads that there is still action in Bangkok. Is that the case?

Are the bars open in Soi Cowboy? Can you still use Smooci? Is there street action?

I ask because I'm going to be coming to Bangkok for my med check on the way to a new job. I want to know if I should bother to stay an extra week or two.

I go back a few pages and I don't see anyone addressing this concretely. I'm just trying to figure out what things are like, don't need an exhaustive description.

Or maybe a better way to ask is: Where can someone still get a nice cute youngish Thai girl these days? Is it OKcupid / tinder or bust or are there places still traditional places available?

Thanks in advance.

An interesting chart showing number of people who have received 1 or 2 shots. Thailand has had 2.65 million vaccinations. 2.5% of population received 1 dose. 1.3% fully vaccinated.

[QUOTE=DannyDuck;2560851]Thailand Puchai put out another video. Much better than the other one I recommended. Search youtube.

7 minutes. Appearance by Manager. YouTube.

Girl very OK.

Soundtrack is the Highlight. I like the song.[/QUOTE]The girl in your Korean Superstar video is old news. She looks a bit worn from the time she was a cherry girl and Monkeypaw had the "privilege" of breaking her in a few times, when she had more of a fresh and innocent look. Not sure how dated that video is, but from the looks of it, all the freshness has gone out of the bag. The potato chips look a tad stale, but I guess, she is still OK for some like your Korean Superstar. Back then, the Paw was a bad fingerling and she was one of my BBFS CIP conquests. Thank God, nothing horrible came out of it and I was shown the light. The Heavens opened up and Monkeypaw was given the gift of being able to cum inside a condom without any difficulty. Whoo hoo!

(Speaking of condoms, here's a Monkeypaw secret to share, OLO 30 count 001 condoms for 65 baht or $2 is a cheap bargain. I go through 3 boxes of 10 each in about 2 months. They work great, especially with my secret "gel" that I already reported on awhile back in case anybody needs that extra help to RTFF. However, if there is some disbelief about the Paw's gift or the quality of the cheap OLO 001 condoms, I've frozen a couple of already used and filled ones along with my mini-paws, which is high minerals like zinc, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Literally, the proof is the Paw's pudding and they are ready to ship to BKK for inspection, just PM me).

Now back to your Korean SuperStar, let me dedicate a little rhyme that anybody can sing on their own time.

"Twinkle, Twinkle Monkeypaw.

How I wonder who you are.

Up above, way up high.

Like a spaceship in the sky.

Twinkle, Twinkle Monkeypaw.

Wish you were Korean Superstar".
