Opportunity Knocks

[qwertz]

Thailand is undoubtably the prostitution capital of the world. Where else in the world is there a place like Patong, Nana or Pattaya?

Never heard of Hamburg? Amsterdam? Sex is here to stay (due to the perennial demand)

Hamburg and Amsterdam are still not up there with the tourist spots of Thailand. Cambodia may challenge soon though, with all these changes going on.

Back to the topic. TiT, most of the tourists are single men and wherever they go they have more than plenty of girls propositioning them on an hourly basis. No wonder they think every girl is up for it. My gf works in Pattaya (normal admin job, btw) and gets the odd wink and nod here and there even when she's with me. I asked her if this bothers her, she just said "this is Pattaya.It's part of living and working here". She really doesn't take it personally.

apologies to any italians who may be reading this. the assumption that the 'gentleman' was italian was made by the girl.

my whole point was that i think its unfair of men or women (of whatever nationality) to assume that all thai women are for sale.

i might also add my contempt for one other assumption that is way off target. that assumption is made by many supposedly educated thai WOMEN i have met in phuket who immediately assume that ALL isaan girls are easy and are all for sale. i cannot get over this!

where does this come from? well, i understand that a great deal of the working girls here in phuket may come from isaan, but does that mean that ALL of them are for sale? most of my good friends come from isaan, and i can categorically tell you that most of these girls are 'good' girls who would be shocked and appalled at being offered money for sex!

i dont think i have drifted off topic here. its still along the same lines of my opening post which is talking about slotting thai girls into one 'for sale' category.

I do agree about what you said, unfo too often Brazil, Cuba, LOS

are under common ideas of easy sex countries .... Why ?

I do not need to answer, it's up to each single member.

In any case your apologies are well accepted (I'm Italian)

Even my wife (Italian too) find no excuses for such behavior. "May be too drunk" my wife said.

Let me only add that having said : "she had a full face helmet on"

I do not find the guy too smart...

Now I'm going to say something that could be criticize, but what about Girls

who approach man at every corner even with your wife in well known places ?

Or when they follow me going to toilet ?

I should be shocked because they offer sex for my money ?

We are mature enough (not old only mature : 34 and 29) to just say :

I do not care about....bye...in bad mood.

But not shocked.. come on...

one of the girls from my work was driving home last week on her motorbike through patong when she had to stop at an intersection. she had a full face helmet on, gloves, and was very covered up and conservatively dressed.

this farang bloke (she says italian, but who knows) stopped next to her and asked her 'how much for a short time?'

what a prick.

I'm Italian and I would never do that. So can all of you just lay off the Italian-bashing please? :D

My wife could shoot me for say something who just sounds like an approach....

can you imagine me asking how much ... Geppis72= RIP .....

Cheers

In the time frame Buriboy was talking about it was a common story for the girls working in Soi Cowboy to say they were/had worked in Robinsons. It was always nice to think you had pulled a 'nice' girl.

Anyway, the point is there is a time and a place where you 'hit' and 'get hit' on and for example, when on the Skytrain around 6-7pm you see many Angels of Mercy going to work, but they don't act as such until they get to Nana or Cowboy and likewise you would never see a expat trying to hit on them. All comes down to manners and decency in my opinion.

Wrong. If you see someone you really like, it is always worth making an effort, however I wouldn't just go up and say "how much". I don't even do that with obvious hookers in a bar.

I just strike up a conversation as with any Thai girl and if they don't run away or vomit, I figure that we will get around to the price soon enough.

My comments are in the context of the OP, ie offering money for sex.

[KireB]

Two sides of the coin here, I mean how many times do girls approach us and ask us for a (payed) good time? As for tourist, almost the only thing you see in these tourist areas are prostitutes! Don't deny this! Very easy to blame the farang and call him a moron.

Almost the only farangs you see there are pricks! Don't deny this!

Take some prozac please!

Please Ulysses, how do I stop them from running away and vomiting? I bathe every month whether I need it or not and my mother thinks I'm passable good looking. I never offer less than 150 Baht for LT. What am I doing wrong?

When I am in Thailand I try to follow local customs and culture the best that I could, and in general I am a pretty quiet guy. I have been told by many Thai people that I am not like the typical farang, because I am polite and quiet. It is farang like that guy who give all farang a bad reputation.

Or, more accurately, the MILLIONS of farangs like that that give all farangs a bad rep.

[fourbaht]

Well he definately was off the mark, Good / Nice girls don't charge ... its free

You know the old joke Smilodon, it's only 95% of lawyers that give the rest a bad name.

Not in this part of the world.

Good/Nice girls either don't do it at all or only do it if you marry them - which is a lot more expensive than just paying a pro.

I'm not sure as you seem to have all the right credentials.

Have you tried breath mints?
