Short Time: Dream or Dilemma?
I'll be honest, when I first arrived in Thailand, I was curious about that part of the nightlife I'd heard so much about - the bars with bright neon signs, the go-go clubs, and the idea of "paying for companionship." I guess I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. My friends back home had painted all sorts of pictures in my head, some calling it a dream scenario, others warning it was a huge moral trap. The reality, at least for me, wasn't as flashy as the stories or as simple as choosing one label - dream or dilemma. I did end up paying for sex one night, mainly out of curiosity and a bit of peer pressure. The whole thing felt surreal: everything from picking a bar to negotiating a price to the awkwardness that followed. Part of me thought it was just another fun, exotic experience - like I was living some wild adventure story. But afterward, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was more complicated than I'd let myself believe. It wasn't just about me and what I wanted; there was another person involved, someone who might have a different view on what was happening or who might be dealing with tough circumstances leading them to that work in the first place. To this day, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. There's a part of me that thinks consenting adults should be free to make their own arrangements, but another part that wonders about the blurred lines - like exploitation, cultural differences, or the power imbalances that can come into play. The night itself wasn't the fantasy many folks back home talk about, nor was it some terrible mistake that ruined my entire trip. It was more like a wake-up call that behind all the flashy lights and promises, there are real people with real stories and real struggles. So for me, it's not exactly a dream or a nightmare. It's something that sits in a gray area I never really expected. I won't judge anyone who sees it differently, but if someone asked my advice, I'd tell them to think carefully about what they're really doing and why. Because once the novelty wears off, you might be left with more questions than answers about what it all means. -

Wait if it was the BBC confirming you'd say they were lying, whoever says anything against your narrative is lying. The fact is its from a credible source, you are not one of those- 1

Britain’s Sharia Courts and the Challenge of Religious Freedom
If true, then HMG is failing in it's responsibilities, though I understand additional legislation is under review in Parliament. But in the meantime Sharia Law does not condone abuse of women, that action is done my ignorant / misogynistic men. of whom more than a few on this forum. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a750e8040f0b6397f35d531/6.4152_HO_CPFG_Report_into_Sharia_Law_in_the_UK_WEB.pdf -

Love or Lust? What Are Foreigners Looking for in Thailand’s Nightlife?
I remember when I first set foot in Thailand, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was looking for myself—maybe a bit of fun, maybe something more meaningful. I was fresh off a plane in Bangkok, wide-eyed and excited about the nightlife scene everyone raves about. The first few weeks, I felt like I was in a neon playground, hopping between rooftop bars and late-night clubs, meeting loads of new people—expats, locals, travelers from all over. It was easy to slip into a casual mindset and just enjoy the moment without thinking too far ahead. But then I realized it’s not that straightforward. I met someone during a random night out with friends, and we ended up really clicking beyond the initial party vibe. We started hanging out outside the club scene—like grabbing street food, exploring temples, or catching a movie. That’s when I saw a different side of Thailand. It wasn’t all about the bright lights and loud music; it was about making genuine connections, too. I’ve also seen the flip side, of course. Some folks come here purely to let loose, maybe not even wanting to think about long-term relationships. The nightlife can be tempting that way—there’s always another club to visit, another interesting person to meet. And yeah, you can get swept up in the “lust” part of it all if you’re not careful. But in my experience, once you take a breather from the constant party rush, you realize there are plenty of people—both Thais and foreigners—who are open to building something real. So for me, it started out as a bit of both. I showed up curious and maybe a little reckless, but I ended up finding someone who made me see Thailand in a more grounded, meaningful way. I guess that’s what it comes down to: if you’re just chasing a fleeting thrill, it’s easy to find. But love is out there, too, if you’re open to it and willing to look beyond the nightlife glitter. -

GrapheneOS install on new mobile phone: anywhere in CM?
CANCEL this request / this topic. I found instructions to remove most of Google from my new Android phone without changing operating system. So no need to search for a technician in Chiang Mai.
