She does not look like an average tan skin Thai girl.  There are many pretty tan skin Thai girls in the country. 

It is not right to ignore all those pretty tan skin Thai girls.  

When I go to a soapy massage, I make it my business to have a  young pretty tan skin Thai girl.   

let's all pray to god that this girlie's story terminates with a....happy end!!!!!

wonder what would be her bar fine as this seems to be a fine healthy lady!!!?

please do!!....after you, sir!!

who cares of all this ISIS shit? .... btw a new shopping mall just opened down the road with all the hottest busties in town hanging around...now that's news and more fun!! more seriously....ISIS is not an affair of muslims or islam anymore,...it a sort of UBERisation for worldwide crackpots to embrace under the excuse of islaam propaganda...ISIS has crazy citizens from a vast array of nationals, including western blood fols, so it may seem a bit irrelevant to bash the usual crowd on this one!...

I agreed with the first part, yes Thais often wonder why the Farangs like kinky sex, for them sex is missonary position then off to toilet to wash and go lie in bed and talk. BJ is dirty for them. I know because my GF said so. I missed it when I was with her I wanted to force her to do it but she looked so innocent so that put me off.

was she 14 or 15 years old?!!

c' mon ... just kidding you......hope your current girlie, blows you off the woods!!!

Thai Girls vs $$$...the topic often comes up and whether oane like the topic or not, it is..it IS part of life for many guys here..

Allow me thus to make a modest contribution. I live for a certain period of the year in a normal western city, supposedly civilised and whatever.

My favorite "slut test" when I am working to talk in a fine cutie in a club is quite basic.

When chatting, if the girlie starts sending those subtle signals that I do not interest her, I discreetly pull up my left hand sleeve of my shirt and display my flashy Rolex watch ...(not a fake bangkok grade "A", please, but a real one got for a cheap price, no bragging here)...so I blatantly display and watch her reaction...if there is a sudden change of attitude, naturally I take my heels of to the next available lady in the club and try to workout and initiate the "slut test" from start !....

what my point here is that ladies always have a specific relationship towards money and this is absolutely not caracteristic to Thai women who are often bashed as venal cupid gold diggers....if the farang is stupid enough to shower her with cash right from the begining, paying for everything, we would act the same if we were in the thai girlie's place...be firm guys that you are not purchasing a relationship, you are not going to fund the entire family, that you expect besides good sex a girl who also contributes to the outings etc...and if the girl likes you, and is worth it, be it a Thai Girl or a farang, she won't give a shit for your hard earned bucks!..but only would like to take the shit out of you!!..enjoy!!

Not sure how or why Dubai made this list.  Its a great airport - used to live in the UAE.  I have traveled to some really sh*tty airports that should be on this list:

 

1.  Baghdad International

2.  Kabul (Karzai) International 

3. Sanaa (Yemen) International 

 

Hell, even Luang Prabang and Savankhet have pretty dumpy international airports.  And if folks think BKK is a dump .... try MNL.

 

 

well as an average traveller, I must confess that I did not have the pleasure to travel to Irak or Kabul lately if not, never have and perhaps never will.....you are CIA or whatever to stroll through such lovely airports?

UPDATE - Went to Bangkok - Got the toy drone released from Customs jail!

 

 Without  going into too much boring detail, showing up in person at NBTC (National Bureau Telecommunications Commission) and meeting with the department manager helped, although NBTC had already verbally informed us via several phone calls that the toy drone in question was legal and that Thai Customs only needed to call them to confirm.  Sadly, Thai Customs kept refusing to call NBTC, and NBTC also kept refusing to call Customs, saying it was up to Customs to call them.  Oh, the bureaucracy!  The problem was compounded by the supremely lazy and incompetent Customs team manager who was in charge of my case.  She not only refused to place the call to NBTC, which would have immediately cleared everything up, but did everything possible to stall as much as possible.  In fact I've been advised by another Thai official to file a complaint against her, which I'm considering.

 

Now here's my take on this fiasco.  For some reason, the word 'drone' elicits fear in Thai government employees, at least at NBTC and Thai Customs.  Employees that I've talked to during this ordeal seem to be extremely fearful of making even a tiny mistake... and suffering some sort of reprisal.  Talk about CYA (Cover Your A$$) mentality!   I can only imagine that someone in the hierarchy is behind this current zeitgeist of fear.  Gee, who could instill such fear? 

 

So my next option, since there's only one hobby shop in my area in Isaan, and it has an extremely limited selection, is to apply for an import license from NBTC to keep this from happening again.  While I hate to have to do that since it's only a hobby, I've now got a good relationship with some NBTC staff so I may pursue that.  Yep, sometimes living in 'paradise' can be very challenging and frustrating.

 

Regarding the negative comments directed at me in this thread... how sad for those posting them.  I had done my homework and I was only asking for helpful advice from those members who may have suffered the same problem.  The bottom line is negative comments and opinions certainly don't help anyone seeking helpful advice, so are a complete waste of time.

 

Now excuse me while I go outside and fly my new toy drone.

 

 

.

looks that some corrupt official along the food chain was hinting for heafty tea party money with cupcakes too!!!....enjoy your new drone and post some footage on your area if it's permitted here..

sorry on what happened to you on your drone issue - the stores are now full of DJI Mavic Pro's in Thailand - they could cost perhaps 100US$ more but you avoid the hassle of the corrupt Thai customs officials.....however for those who already have a drone and fly it - thai laws state that a drone under a certain weight is not subject to a painstaking permit, but what if it has a 4k camera? I think that the rules differ a bit?

What about Trivago? Is it not possible to book within Thailand with this website? The algorithm of the site plainly chooses the cheapest rate on the net.

the boss refused to pay the bar fine?

The "deal" should go down around midday, I am a little worried that when my new fridge turns up, I have somehow purchased my old fridge, lol

So in the end did you get your fair initial share of cash or were you ripped off?

What I like most about Thai women is that they find it impossible not to return a smile.

 

I was slim, fit, well groomed and good looking when I first came here, 17 years ago.

Now, older, overweight, sweaty and dressed like a tramp, I can still get a smile from a pretty girl.

Life is good.

a smile is fine but if you also get blown off your feet that's even better and about the worst I would wish you

video of a barely legal farm girl trying to look sexy. you dog you.

such things do make one love the variety of lovely plants in nature! and also enjoy eating even more rice and watermelon!

No, Thailand must learn French....would my french acquaintances say....

Nein...the Thai people must leeern German, would my friends in Germany suggest,..

Mama mia...parla italiano you Thai...would the italians say....and so on...

An advised and humble person would say...why not try....try to learn some thai?

Most of my farang acquaintances or friends in Thailand would not refuse a bit of casual pecking with a fine farang lady, but in their deep hearts they definately are more attracted  and tend to cater the very numerous single thai ladies to intimacy.

IMHO one point however may seem worthful to emphasize...be cautious when you date anybody be it Thai or a farang who has a less opulent lifestyle then yours. In other words don't mix the napkins with the rags!  or if you wish if he's more broke then you are - just beware!! This goes for any nationality, in any country. Not a golden rule as you can also run into people of similar social level but who are rip off gurus!!

Of course, nobody is looking for intimate dates but if an occasion does run across, this could be a point for selection.

The rest is just a matter of mutual chemistry and even Freud never found out how it works!!

Because they arranged for a doctor to come and produce a fake certificate for a high fee before the next flight. That's why!

I get all that, but that's not what you said.  You're arguing that somehow, someone is keeping the baht stronger and you think it should be 40-45 to the dollar.  So what are you talking about, the strong baht or retail prices? 

both, as are they are connected but retail costs do not catch up on the low when the THB goes high...as for keeping any currency strong or low, anybody would be aware that a country can manipulate the exchange rate of their currencies on international markets to some extent.  hope this enlightened things a bit...

Your in Thailand! Why did you come here? To socialize with westerners? Should have stayed at home.

I came here because of the Thai people not the westerners living here. I couldn't speak Thai. It's not important just get outside where ever you live and mix with the locals. After a week or two you'll start making friends and learning Thai. After a year you'll be semi fluent and have many friends. Just remember the golden rule, don't let them in the house.

why should one not invite them to the house?

Well, I can't point to any one thing, and it's been a few years since I used it internationally (I fly domestic in and out of LAX several times a year, though): it just feels cramped, dreary, not organized well, really poor choice of restaurants/other amenities.  I do know they've been doing work on it, so hopefully it's improved?  I'd say domestic is a lot more tolerable at LAX than int'l.  In general, one thing LAX has working against it is that the terminals are all laid out in a line, not in a circular configuration as is the case many other places, which makes ground transportation, for one thing, quite messy.

 

Another US airport I avoid like the plague is ORD, seems like flights (connections) are always getting canceled there, it's such a mess.  In Chicago, domestically at least, one has an alternative (Midway), but not really in LA (there are other airports, like Long Beach, but that's only convenient if your destination is Long Beach or Orange County, not LA!).  Actually, Bob Hope airport in the San Fernando valley (though I've never used it myself) seems very convenient for LA; it's closer to downtown than LAX and has a direct rail connection...but there aren't too many airlines that fly into it, and it's very pricey.

ok thanks on this one and thanks for the previous post with the video and some crispy airline upgrade tips!!
