If we could replace a couple of words; I'll agree with you.

 

Isaan folks sometimes speak fluent Thai.

 

Some Russians who travel speak English.

All Isaan folks speak fluent thai if 8+ years at school. The language used in schools and all offices.

 

Never met a Russian tourist who cant speak English. 

 

How are you going to pick up a Russian girl that doesnt?

  • Why would you want to hire a prostitute? Do you know how dirty they are?

  • If you're talking about picking up a freelancer, you don't know, off the street or Beach Road for a short time, then in my opinion you're better going to a short time hotel. There's always an element

  • I always hope they're really dirty!    Back to the op,  Best not to take strangers back to your room where your passport, laptop and other valuables are kept. 

Besides the risk of theft, you really do not want a "working girl" to know where you live.  They have been known to show-up drunk at any hour, looking for money.

Hotel that takes ID and has security cameras: OK.  Apartment or condo: no way.

ST hotel always best.

Do the opposite

Leave 120 or 250 baht on purpose

 

Leave the room

See if it goes missing

 

 

You don't want to do it like that .

Its better to leave 120 Baht there one day , then collect 250 Baht the next day .

   Leave low, collect high

Gee whiz bit dramatic!

Not even remotely.

 

In July 1991, AP news detailed that a frantic handcuffed man led police to Jeffrey's fly-infested apartment, which was crawling with fragments of human bodies and boasted a refrigerator full of human heads — three of them to be exact. Some outlets have detailed that human hearts were also found inside the fridge.

Different to what I see up here Sir.

 

Well I take it that the Uzbec or Ruskie lass will be smooching with a pole, down one of the pick-up sois.

 

As for picking up; a nod or wink will suffice I reckon.

There's always an element of risk, she might get crazy on you, or demand more money, all sort of things can go wrong, so if you're in a STH it's easy to just get away. At your own place...well, it can get very difficult.

There's also the point that if she/he comes back to your apartment (at your invitation) then maybe they will come back again the next day, every day, next week etc., and make attempts to get money or blackmail you. And could be quite embarrassing if you have friends visiting you at the time.

 

Better the freelancer doesn't know your real address.

 

If she/he goes anywhere with you there is the possibility of violence, theft of phone, notebook, etc. Nobody can give you a guaranteed answer to stop that.

They may not be tempted by that and its so obvious . 

If they noticed something small and expensive, like some jewellery , watch or ATM card , they may very pick pick it up before they leave and you won't notice for a few days .

   Seems like the older they get , the more likely they are to steal from you

I've known a few guys who did this, and it always got weird.

 

No tell motel is the way to go.

I did have a weird experience .

   I was walking home on Saturday night rather drunk and I got propositioned  by an older woman working the streets and she wanted to stay in my room as she had nowhere else to stay , which seemed like a good idea at the time . 

   She stayed in my room and the next morning we went out for a feed and I had some spicy Thai food which played havoc with my stomach and I got stomach cramps and really needed to take a dump as soon as possible . 

   I quickly said that I'd be back in ten minutes because I really needed to go back to my room and I hurried off back to my room and straight to the toilet and didn't even manage to sit down before I began dumping .

    Next thing I knew there was a loud banging on my condos front door , it was her again who had followed me back to my room .

   I shouted out for her to wait , but she started banging louder and shouting for me to give her 500 Baht .

   Once again I shouted for her to wait , but she just kept banging and shouting .

   I stood up from the toilet and walked over to the door and opened it and she barged her way in .

   I didn't trust her being in the condo on her own whilst I was in the toilet . 

  So, I sat back on the toilet and finished my dump off with the toilet door open and she was sat a few metres away .

   I finished my dump , done the paper work afterwards whilst face to face with her  , washed my hands  , pulled my trousers up and went and got 500 Baht and gave it to her .

True showers are great

The easiest solution is to simply go to a Shower Massage.  Room, showers, bathtub, "massage."

Make sure the security guards record the details of their ID card and possibly keep that ID card and give her a visitor pass.

Thought a freelancer was just that. Could be virtually anyone going it alone.

bro, how can you live in Thailand and not know what the KSR is? ????

 

srsly, it's a backpacker ghetto in Bangkok called the "Koh San Road". it's just off, and runs parallel to Ratchadamnoen Klang near Democracy Monument.

 

it's real name is Thanon Khao San but don't bother trying to teach the backpackers that.

But they know how to wai the tuk tuk driver, room maid, cats and dogs etc.

 

Fully integrated and gone native. What they don't know about Thailand ain't worth knowing.
