General Reports

[Gaijin Gigolo]

I've lived here almost a decade, and never ventured beyond the tourist spots. I am going to do a week long roadtrip early Jan. Starting and ending in Bangkok. Everything other than this is flexible. I am not going to take any company from Bkk. I am hoping to spend a night in several "Nakhon Nowheres", getting some work done on my computer and reading.

I would love to savour some authentic rural women. To this end, my plan is to visit small / homely massages, tiny roadside eateries that are relatively desolate, local bars / live music places.

I will try to befriend local men / women who show potential to help me get closer to my goal. I will avoid any places with even the tiniest tourist value. Of course, I will report next month, but if anyone with experience has any advice before my trip, please help.

Specifically looking for advice on how rural mongering / propositioning is different from urban, and where best to sleep in nakhon nowheres.

I had a nice time in Nong Khai up on the Mekong near the Lao border a few years ago. There is an ample amount of lovely dark-skinned honeys, nice food, a small expat scene and some touristy things to do as well. Plus it's hella cheaper than BKK or Pattaya or Chaing Mai, for example. Good luck!

My God, are we now taliking an easy and efficient way to connect with people.

Like I said in my post, the usual and quickest way to add new contacts in Line, either by ID or by phone number, is not (always) working anymore. And I didn't have experience yet with adding a contact by QR code. So that's why I asked for advise.

Thanks Mr. E. It works as you described.

There is no rural mongering scene. If you go to a small village alone, everyone in the village knows everyone else, and all the younger women have a husband. So, no action there.

Folks always have dreams of going to the source. Meanwhile, all the chicks with hooker aspirations from the source have gone to larger cities to make money. Happened a lot in Brazil where in Rio a lot of the hookers were from Belo Horizonte. But people went to Belo Horizonte and were like where are all the beautiful women that are supposed to be here. Duh. They are in Rio! At least he will not be bored seeing that he has planned to get plenty of work done on the trip.

If you go to a larger city, there may be a Thai bar, where you buy a bottle, and if a lady joins you, you tip her. But she probably won't speak English, and there's no barfining. The lady is there for the entire shift.

There are some big cities in Isaan with Farang bars, but they are covered in other sections.

99% of Farangs go to the village with their Thai GF / wife.

You screenshot the qr code. Then in Line you go to add friends, qr code, then at the bottom right you will see where you can click your photo gallery. Click that and choose the qr code that you screenshotted.

My God, are we now taliking an easy and efficient way to connect with people.

[Mr Enternational]

I see. Maybe I am stupid but how am I supposed to scan a QR code that is sent to an app on my phone, with the camera on that same phone?

I reported on this before. It works when using the qr code, but not entering the line ID or phone number.

I'm in Thailand since last Sunday, and I have a problem with Line that I have never experienced before. I cannot add new contacts, neither by ID nor by phone number.
Anyone else who has or had this problem? What can I do about it? The Line website does not mention this problem. Do I have to reinstall the app?

I have it all the time; deleted and renewed my account twice, but problem remains.

I had the same problem. After trying all sorts of things I opened a new account with a different email and reinstalled the app, then it worked. .

Fuck storage! I wear my shit like I'm Mr. T up in dis *****!

I made this post as a joke.

But seriously gold storage can be a big problem.

New option is to buy a digital token of your gold on the blockchain. It is stored for you in remote bankruptcy free vaults. You can then easily use it for digital payments. Each digital share represent one ounce of gold. Fractional buys and payments are not a problem. PM for more details.

Still not going to give up my gold chains!

You guys that get to live in Thailand full time, just know how lucky you are. Where I'm from was a hellhole, where I am now is a hellhole, just no luck.

You are right. Many people do not give enough credit to the simple randomness of life in the explanation of their success. Unless you are on the paying field or military battlefield there is very little that can be traced directly back to your performance. We all make choices, yes. But if you don't know the information it is impossible to act on. We all know that it is impossible to know what you you don't know. Then you can have information and not act on it. I've known about Thailand for 10 years. Never visited before 16 months ago.

Never was down with this pull yourself up with your own bootstraps bull. What if you don't have boots. I stand on shoulders of great men who were giants. I am in Thailand because of great men who convinced me to visit and then showed me the way.

My trip dates are set and I've booked air and hotels. Now I just need to find a door-to-door car service from my Bangkok Hotel to my Pattaya Hotel. And presumably, my Pattaya Hotel to the BKK airport 12 days later. I can see some car service websites through Google, but they seem expensive (3000 THB+) versus what I think a Grab or Taxi might cost at around 1500-2000 THB. Not really interested in super cheap methods like the bus lines. I don't mind paying for the private ride luxury, assuming the costs are not more than $50 (1800 THB) each way.

Any suggestions or referrals will be much appreciated.

I am not sure why you would ask this in the Pattaya thread where guys report on fucking girls. Anyways, I don't quite understand your post as you seem to have answered your own question. Grab or Bolt is the only way to go here. You will not save more money by trying to find a private driving service. Book a bolt and off you go. You will need to pay the tolls extra as well so dont forget to account for about another 150 -200 Baht.

I also saw the reply you got about Mikes service. I have used it and the rates start at. Once you give them your specific pick up and drop off location, the price will raise up to be comparable with Bolt or grab.
