  1. An interesting point on charges.   If they have passport stamps up to date. (Monthly visa run) and are caught working in shops or gogo’s, the charges are just working without a permit.  Not being in the country illegally.    Because of this they are usually just fined and released. 
    if passport is not stamped up to date , then can be charged with being in the country illegally and working without a permit. Usually comes with jail time as it gets sorted out a fine and deportation for up to 10 years.  

  2. Raids are carried out at male and female establishments.   Also restaurants.   It’s immigration police. It’s foreign workers they are after.. these are the kind of businesses that attract these workers.    I think they hope big production raids will act as a warning .  That never works.   Unless the business gets closed there will always be workers to fill the jobs.    There was a time back in Twilight a couple of the gogo’s would only hire a Thai guys to avoid problems when police decided to check in.     Biggest week of the high season.  Good time for high profile raids to show off for the big boss.    

  3. Rock hard is pretty much on point.    You are absolutely a big personality over there.  You post 10 hours a day in the political forum.  You spend half that time telling everybody how much you know about politics and that know body else knows it like you.    
    Political forum is pretty nasty place.  Daddy just asked for everyone to tone it down thru the holidays.   Several decided  NO.     Daddy said enjoy the holidays ...elsewhere.   Pretty simple 

  4. It’s quite amazing in the last few years how many guys are now speaking English.   It finally hit them , the more English they speak the more money they make.   Oz mentioned Hot Male. One of their waiters arrived 2-1/2 years ago. Could barely say hi in English.   Now he is fluent and can talk your ear off for hours.     For the most part in the Bars, English is quite widely spoken, with decent fluency. 
    You spill find upwards of 500 guys working within 1 block area.  Your problem will be , to many to chose from. 
    Use LINE for contact with guys.   Everybody uses it.   

  5. Vinapu,  I think there is a comma or something missing in your story.    There were five members and I was one of them and three were offed, but not all by me.  There is probably a story to be told, but I’ll let you tell it.   It was an exceptionally fun evening.   When you walked in there the place lit up.  It’s seems you’ve been there before and have built your own reputation with the talent.    

  6. Lhr to Bkk is not a profitable flight.  BA offers the bare minimum to keep fares low. It’s not a Business persons route.     Same in the US.  Flights on the 3 big airlines going to Hawaii.   They use older planes and don’t offer much in service.   Profitability comes from upfront.   Heavy tourist beach resort areas are first time families and backpackers.   They want cheapest fare they can get.                         

    Most of us are seasoned travelers.    Flights going to Thailand,  Hawaii, Orlando.   They are full of people that have never been on a plane before.   They have no idea what to expect.  The little things we complain about go unnoticed by so many.  Which is partly why airlines can get away with it.    

  7. When I was mugged in Amsterdam, it was noon and in front of my hotel.   It happens everywhere in the world.   Buts its a  choice we have to make in our travels.   We can just sit and watch tv from the safety of our homes and not experience other cultures.    I’ll agree that if your really concerned about your safety in your travels your not going to have a good time.   You just have to do what’s best for yourself and travel to places where you feel comfortable.  

  8. While the crime rate is high, it’s mostly in the big cities. Rio and São Paulo.   Brazil is as beautiful a country as there is. If you visit other coastal cities the crime rate drops.   We are all used to the lack of crime in Thailand, but in most of the rest of the world it exists. I live in Ft.Lauderdale. I wouldn’t walk on the beach in Miami or Ft.Lauderdale late at night for safety reasons.   

    Chances are if you go to Brazil it will be a much shorter trip than you do to Thailand .   Yes, you’ll probably make a few adjustments for safety.  But if you have the opportunity don’t miss out on the incredible beauty of the country and some of the most beautiful and sexy people around.    Rio beaches are an amazing sight.    Just use them daytime, not nighttime.
