Bangkok Reports

[ShyBoy143]

If all the articles you're referring to are over a month old, then they're just reporting a promise that wasn't fulfilled (end legal last night).

My friend and I are about to pack for our annual trip to Bangkok. Despite his advanced age (early 70's), he enjoys a joint or two before sex. He used to smuggle marijuana into the country, but of course this has been unnecessary in the last few years. He is now talking about smuggling some type of weed because he thinks marijuana has been criminalized again. Personally, I think anyone who smuggles drugs into Thailand at his age is showing signs of dementia!

In all seriousness, we cannot figure out if this is true. Google is no help, as there are numerous links to stories about how the status of marijuana will change in 2025 (ie, today). But, there is nothing to indicate that this change in the law has actually happened.

Can someone who is actually in Thailand help him? Is marijuana still legal in the Land of Smiles?

Without getting into too much sp I don't out myself I generally stay away from this topic. I have decades of experience in Thailand often multiple times a year. A one week trip is just too short. You lose two days getting there because of the time difference that you mostly get back on the return but you'll be jetlagged if that bothers you.

Tijuana and Bangkok are apples and orange. Ditto my Tijuana experience. I don't want to out myself. I think I van safely say that a trip to Thailand has a potential to change your outlook on life. A trip to Tijuana will make you appreciate going home.

Sex aside, the culture, the food (not just Thai) and overall vibe are so much more interesting in Thailand that you'll feel like you're wasting flour time in Tijuana.

I used to love Adelitas in Tijuana, and the Lengua tacos on the street corner near there.

But that's really it. A red light district in a filthy cesspool of crime and corruption.

Bangkok will blow the dudes mind if he hasnt ever been there, and it still blows my mind after 35 ish years.

6 days on the ground is just a taste. Especially with jet lag and the squirts from traveling etc. But hey, if he wants to spend the time after dreaming.

I'm not going to tell the dude not to come, but I have never come over for less than 2 weeks. Its a long road.

My advice to the dude is to avoind Fiw Fans and TF the net and get out there on the streets and hunt.

[ShyBoy143]

You have a solid plan for all activities including back ups before you arrive including lining up TF types.

Personally I don't even mind the jet lag phase as I get outcall "massages" between naps till I'm 100%. It's pricier than going out but personally worth the convenience.

Also, once you have a rough plan, see if it justifies the trip in your head again before deciding.

Gentlemen, I have a question that is very subjective. Long story short: I'm an east coast (US) guy. I have a trip to Tijuana coming up in a couple weeks. I'm considering canceling that trip and taking that money and buying a ticket to BKK. I've never been to Thailand. My question: is 5-7 days enough to enjoy the trip? I know the flight is brutal. Perhaps I should add, I'm really most interested in nuru massage. I'd probably hit up some gogos a couple nights. But the primary purpose would be for the massages. If I can get over 30 hours each way for 6-ish days on the ground, is it crazy to do for a short trip?

[ShyBoy143]

Anyone who's on limited time and not pressed for money would understand. Worth it just in terms of time saved and the drama of negotiations avoided.

Curious why you felt compelled to pay 2 and 3 times the going rate that you should have? 8000 baht for short time? This just builds an expectation among the girls that this is the going rate now, so thanks for helping drive the prices up for the rest of us. Smh.

It is 5 to 7 days better than going anywhere else in the world for 5-7 days. Especially Tijuana, which is a sewer.

The only reason to go to Tijuana is if you are already in San Diego. I would never make a special trip just to go there and I have been going there for almost 35 years.

[Etaoin2003]

And as for jet lag -- everybody deals with that differently, but I sleep on the plane and force myself into the local time zone the next day. Never takes more than 24 hours. Get lots of sunshine.

There are slums and dirty messes in Bangkok, but the lower Sukhumvit area has been radically cleaned up in the last decade or so. The transit system is outstanding.

LOL I do appreciate home after visiting Tijuana. It was my first international experience with this hobby and it will always have some weird nostalgia to me. But your point is well received. I'll be honest, Asia in general is very foreign to me. So that is a bit intimidating, yet simulataneously alluring. The food, the language, the customs. All unknowns to me. But I'm adaptable and always uber respectful and aware I'm a guest.

[Dcrist0527]

I've done short trips from the West Coast to say Angeles or BKK for one week back in the days when I felt it was worth it. I wouldn't today. I had the benefit of direct flights about 12-15 hours or maybe 18-20 hours with connections. But the way the scene is now (and maybe because I am older), I probably wouldn't bother. Having said that, since your baseline is Tijuana, you may actually be amazed and have a great time. Try it once and see. 6 days you can get the flavor, go go, massage, BJ bars, FL etc. Don't decide up front what you will enjoy most. Try them all and decide.

Yeah, I would feel much better about a week trip with a 12-15 direct flight. But from homebase, the shortest route is at 25 hours. Brutal.

That said, I think back (many years ago) to my first visit to HK in Tijuana. Or my first visit to Medellin, or other locales. For whatever reason, I think it's almost impossible to recapture the magic of that first experience. And I'm debating with myself. Does that first BKK visit overcome the beatdown of the trip. The internal debate goes on. LOL. Thank you for your thoughts!

Tijuana mongering is mostly about finding Latinas in the bars like Hong Kong, and Chicago Club. Latinas there tend to be short and thick and between 25-40 years old, though you can find the occasional spinner and once in a blue moon you can find a very slim 18-20 year-old as well. These sessions are generally fairly mechanical and are priced in 30-minute or maybe 60-minute increments. You will need to be fairly young, good looking, speak Spanish well and have decent game to get a true GFE or PSE experience. Generally, a one-hour CBJ and CFS session will cost between $80-$120 (varies by club, time of day, and her looks / age).

There are massage spas in Tijuana, but again, these will be more mechanical (think "rub and tug") than you might find in SE Asia. And a massage session with FS ending is likely more expensive than taking a bar girl to a room.

In addition, Tijuana is, well, filthy. Cracked sidewalks, poor infrastructure (hot water in your hotel is a coin toss), and rising crime from street thieves, crooked cops, and con men as well as serious threats from drug cartels has made it a no-go zone for me since 2015. The only positive aspect is that I can be across the border after a 3-4 hour drive.

Having said all that, I will agree that with flight time and jet lag recovery, a 7-day trip is really only about 4 days of actual "Time Over Target" opportunity in Thailand.

Thanks for the comparison. It's valuable to me. I've probably logged over 100 nights in Tijuana, so I'm familiar with the game there. And I'm not sure how long it's been since your last visit, but your representation is accurate. (Though $80 in today's environment would be rare. Typically, I'm happy at $100.) And you are right about those massages, which is exactly why BKK is calling me.

You highight another important distinction. In many ways, Latinas and Thai women are opposites, physically. Personally, I'm drawn to Latinas. That's a mild concern to me. Generally speaking, facial beauty is most important to me. And a girl can be too skinny, IMO. But, ai do find Asian women attractive and I'm certain there are more than a few fish out there that I'll find more than acceptable.

Thanks for the input.

[Dcrist0527]

Personally, I think that's a bit too short for a trip that far, especially given the fact that you'll likely need an entire day to recover from that long-ass flight. I would suggest ten days or two weeks minimum. But that's just me. What you're planning can be done and you'd definitely have fun, but I'd want more than five or six days to look around and play if I were going to travel that far, especially if it were my first time there. And I would skip Tijuana, regardless.

Thanks, that's exactly the type of opinion I'm interested in. I have thought about spending two weeks and I might still do that. If I go the 6 day route, I'm counting an additional day to allow for the extreme jet lag. Personally, 2025 will be a transition year for me. Not sure what my mongering future holds, but getting to Thailand is a priority, even if it's a grind to get it done in a week. It just seems like something I can't miss.

At the risk of being trolled (despite warnings from our admin), does anyone know if Truvada or similar PrEP can be purchased at a pharmacy in BKK without a doctor's prescription?

I would prefer a location in Sukhumvit. Thanks.

It can, but most pharmacies on Suhkumvit did not have it last I checked. The one that did have it was a large pharmacy near Nana, on the side closest to Asoke, and same side of the road as Terminal 21. The pharmacy is called South-East Asia pharmacy, or something like that, if I remember correctly.

However, I would much more recommend going to the place I mention here:

http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2970167

The reduced price of PrEP there, if you buy two extra bottles, means the included std and kidney tests will be more or less free.
