Popular Post bob smith Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Yesterday I was visiting a friend in Bangkok and was accosted by these 2 friendly african guys on my way to 7/11. They kept calling me ‘bro’ and making sniffing nosies. I thought it was a bit strange but they seemed nice enough and even gave me a fist bump and a ‘respect' ! I felt like a real homeboy, one of the main g’s. are people always this friendly in Sukhumvit or was it just my good energy they were attracted to?

Prubangboy Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Been a few years, but I used to go to African disco's in a side-soi across from The Grace Hotel. I'm a world music fan and they def had the afro-beats. I gave them some cd's a couple of times. It would be hard to visit an African nigh club in Africa as a solo-whitie. Super-friendly people. All kinds of downers like like Xanax for sale in the bathroom. A few marriage proposals from women who really need to lay off of the all grease and yucca diet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 if anyone's wondering, i don't think these guys are offering anything in particular. it's more of a handyman situation where they help you out with whatever you need at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthegimp Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Many years ago I was with 2 friends from work and a couple of Thai women at one of those after hours places that pop up after the regular businesses close. They even had a truck mounted bathroom system with sinks and flush toilets. It was off Sukhumvit between soi 13 and 22 if I remember correctly. What was less good was the number of Africans hanging about for no discernable reason, eyeballing us. One of our group was a filthy smoker. One of the Africans used "can I get a light?" as a segue to try to weasel his way into our conversation and work one of their scams. Maybe he was an exiled prince. After the second request for a light, I asked my friend for his spare lighter and handed it to the African and told him it was a gift. Well, the ungrateful bastard flew into a rage! He now had no excuse to approach our group and try to work his grift. After the Africans left the lady who owned the pop up bar told the Thai women with us that the Africans were scary men who had stabbed someone two nights before. She was terrified of them, but the police and immigration did nothing about the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
