Thailand For Celibates And Teetotalllers

[MTW]

And we can take on TV together every night, swim during the day, and have a language school on our off time?

[qwertz]

Best offer I've had today.

BTW, I'm not a celibate teetotaller.

I was just - theorising.

[Ping]

Qwertz, you're set like a jelly!

You sound just like me mate a recycled cardboard cut out of a playboy Nignoy

[qwertz]

Thank you, ping and nignoy for your implicit belief in my charms and abilities.

I'm just a normal Joe really, never wanted to stand out in a crowd you know.

Anyway, you've just given me an idea for another thread.

Hi CG, Frankly no. I don't.

Because competition for Pitt and Clooney I am not.

I have no illusions on that front.

So when I walk into what might potentially be a pleasant bar, I'm not pleased when a bunch of girls (or worse, a katoy) descends on me because they're under orders from the boss to get in there and rook the farang.

It's all too insincere and I'm not fooled for a second.

However, if it were the lady of my fancy, well...............I'd let her fondle me from now till Xmas without one word of complaint.

hahah! qwertz, I like your style!

[qwertz]

CG, as a rough guide to how attractive I am to women, the compliment I hear most often is - "interesting".

you mean you dont get "you so handsum man" qwertz.? Well ill be damned..

Only in LOS, eek.

I love the tact of those girls.

[cathyy]

It only occurred to me that if you had to turn your back on the delights you could die of boredom, even in LOS.

Thailand does attract couples and even singles not interested in "the delights' of Thailand. The fact that you think dying of boredom in LOS a possibility without "the delights' shows me exactly how dependent on them you are.

Let's see, you can look at temples and temple ruins, take a retreat at a temple, or take cooking classes. You can spend as long as you want on a beach sunbathing and playing in the water, or you can go diving and look at the lovely corals and fishes. You can take any number of day tours to elephant camps. You can go camping, hiking and rafting in Khao Yai. You can eat all the Thai food you want! And that's just what comes to mind right away.

[qwertz]

Cathy, you're absolutely right on all points.

This coming trip will force me to reform and look at LOS from your angle for a change.

I don't know if the kids will like the cookery classes but I'm not giving them a choice.

I plan to do everything that's suitable for families following all the good suggestions posted here as I'll be enjoying their hospitality in Oz right after LOS.

[Nignoy]

Take them all on a train trip,just stick a pin in the map ,we did it 2 years ago with a group of friends from UK and germany, never a dull moment and not a ladyboy in sight Nignoy

Another good suggestion.

We were already set on hiring a bus.

I know there's a train service from Patts, is there one from Phuket?

[Ping]

Fishing or one of those small commercial prawn (shrimp) fishing places - the kids would love it.

I think the op's question is really rather ridiculous... of course there are celibates and abstainers who enjoy this wonderful country!!!!!!! Anyone who imagines it's only about s*x and drinking needs to wise up. I don't like the tone of this post.

My sentiments EXACTLY!!!

Geronimo, if this thread offends you, please take the trouble to read it through before passing judgement and drawing your longbow!

I repeat, I did not mention these things in my OP.

Whose imagination are we talking about here?

Purely theoretical of course as I can't claim such high ideals.

But what if?

I only know of one man in all my trips to Patts who was so outraged at the sin everywhere he never left the hotel for two weeks after one look down the street.

This was of course Soi 7.

He was thoroughly miserable, said it was Sodom and Gomorra and they'd all burn in hel_l.

So what can the board suggest as an enjoyable LOS holiday for such upright people?

I'm sure TAT would appreciate more of them.

I just wonder what he did in his hotel for 2 weeks?

As your friend is a religious man (no harm in that) maybe he should have gone to the City of Angels instead?

He might have enjoyed the beautiful temples and palaces instead?

Perhaps he should have gone to the Holy Lands instead for a holiday he would have enjoyed?

I just love Thailand and I love it as it is!

Thailand is so much more than just cheap booze and sex!

I know what the people of Sodom did but can anyone explain what the people of Gomorra were doing?

I don't mean to be rude or anything but I am not sure upright is the right word? To hole up in a hotel for 2 weeks after just one look at Soi 7 - could maybe uptight be a better word?

I think it was a twin city, James, maybe Gomorra was for the straights.

I did actually suggest a flight to CM but he said he wouldn't spend another penny to finance sins against God, so I figured he was culture shocked beyond help.

Like I said, he was sort of in my mind when I first posted.

[canadiangirl]

[...] he said he wouldn't spend another penny to finance sins against God, so I figured he was culture shocked beyond help.

"Sins against God" -- sounds like someone has climbed onto their high horse!

Hahahaha...maybe this is a bit mean, but I can't help having a bit of a laugh at the idea of someone like that in Pattaya. It's like going to Antartica and being shocked and upset because it's cold.

[canadiangirl]

CG, as a rough guide to how attractive I am to women, the compliment I hear most often is - "interesting".

Surely this must be because their English is not yet good enough to appreciate your wit and personality?

[qwertz]

Yes, CG, the poor guy must have had his first exposure to original sin.

He was basically an okay guy but not worldly wise; I had the feeling that it was maybe his first step into the real world.

Takes all kinds I suppose.

At least he didn't try to put me on the path of righteousness.

He probably figured I was too far gone.

As for "interesting", I'm sorry to have to admit, I was talking about native speakers.

And the ones I've known admire gentlemen but prefer to fool around with rogues.

To quote one: "Honey, you have a silver tongue. I could talk to you all night and not get bored".

Talking all night was about the last thing on my mind!

I've been celibut for the six years I've been here. I am in a relationship but sex is not an issue. I don't drink either. I and my partner live in the hills and attend temple 3-4 times a week. I also spend extended periods at temple. There is life aside of sex, drugs & other forms of self gratification. I guess it's hard to understand for the majority.

Tell him to go to Vatican City next time or Cedar Rapids or Fargo, ND in winter & roll in the snow.

Indeed. I think some people (incl. a lot of Thais) must accept what Thailand is to a lot of people.

Party, sex, and some sun & cheap shopping.

[maisampatpom]

Definitely think that Thailand is for abstainers. I am a teetotaller and celibate (except for my wife) ...

Doesn't celibate mean 'not even my wife'?

[maisampatpom]

Vativan City? Lets not bring children into this!

[BigSnake]

There are many many things for Celibates and Teetotallers, however they must be WILLING to over look the VICES and enjoy the goodies that LOS can offer. In other words it up to them(in a word:ATTITUDE)

[bsided69]

I dont drink, smoke, and havent been in a relationship for some time (by choice). I wouldnt consider particularly myself 'upright' or uptight even, nor miserable, its just my present chosen path. Cant be bothered with dating atm and im not into flings so ..yeah w/e.

Then again i dont think id fit in down pattaya way much either

What do you do for fun then? Not knocking you, but often have thought about giving up drinking and smoking, but women I would go La La without them!
