You're still living in the 90s. Quite true! Since Woke, PC bullsh— has taken over they’ve been castrated unlike when I first arrived on the shore of Pattaya in 1980 (literally) when the fleet anchored off Pattaya Beach and shuttled ashore by the local longboats, Now I believe they’re moored at Sattahip.

Unfortunately, scandals and crime along the way made a crackdown necessary and inevitable. Unlike a Thai crackdown, it's permanent and enforced. Dovetailed with Woke nicely.

SingAPorn Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Most behave hopefully. But what for the loud mouthy rowdys looking for trouble behind their US uniforms ? Hope their Military Police will be well present to contain the hooligans. The ladyboys will do good business obivously. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to figure out why ladyboys loom so large in our imaginary R&R that isn't happening. Maybe just Brit bigots working their Americans-are-ignorant-and-stupid narrative? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cool thing, as you'll see if you'll just go take a look on 6/1, is how they're all disguised as Chinese, Muslims, and Indians--just to blend in, you know. But the stealthiest is the Brit disguise. Yes, our imaginary R&R personnel have also adopted the Brit uniform of Our Lads: the soiled checked shirt hanging over a fat belly, cargo shorts, white socks, sandals, bald head with a fringe, eyeglasses. Now how good is that? Counterproductive, though, as the girls are expecting those fat wallets (as professed here on the forum) as well. Keep in mind that the disguise is rather important as In 2006, the Department of Defense made it a crime for a service member to hire a prostitute anywhere in the world; the penalties can include up to a year in prison, forfeiture of pay, and a dishonorable discharge. --Wikipedia As noted, some of our members are still living in the 90s.

Popular Post carlyai Posted February 27 Popular Post Share Posted February 27 Back then I was a Police Volunteer in Pattaya (only worked at the Patts police station, before everyone crucifies me). Twas when Navy anchored at Pattaya Bay. They asked us if we'd like a tour of one of their rapid deployment landing ships. Great men and woman, great tour, impressive ship. Went for a walk with our hosts down Walking Street and came across a standoff with some marines and bouncers. Talked the marines out of it. No win there. That was the good thing being with the police volunteers at the police station, we all had most of the languages and Thai language covered. Was our job in helping people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to hit Foodland T21 night before last, so I rode through then just for you. Sure enough, all the imaginary USA military personnel on the imaginary R&R were all cleverly disguised as Chinese, Indians, Muslims, and Brits. Maybe the odd Russians. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the usual w*anking fantasies, but our members simply ignore the question of why this particular one is so important to them, as they concoct delicious details, like--ooh--ladyboys.

kinyara Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I don't think I've been in a bar on Beach Road in recent years when any of them have come in to relax. I get the impression it's a minibus in for shopping day out and a McDonalds, then minibus home and back in bed before dark. Do they have a weight limit for entry in the US military, maybe the ones I see are kitchen staff, cleaners etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when we think we have a sure w*nk, the devastating letdown: incredibly, the Cobra Gold ships had no "support ships" accompanying them for the imaginary R&R. Was some preparation, offloading stuff, packing up, etc. Mostly Navy people, some contractors, but I imagine the rules apply to the contractors as well, to avoid any possible bad publicity.

Talked the marines out of it. No win there. The marines wanted to show how tough they were with the bouncers. Both marines & bouncers like to get in fist fights. Both have more muscle than brain power, but the bouncers have the upper hand here on their own turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
