But not virgin Good to hear the rare occasion that it is not Jupiter guy who is a dud And I much prefer your own writing style to AI! It conveys a sense of personality and unique self expression which is lacking in the AI version. AI also sounds a touch OCD which is not present in your original report

Is correct. It has an open ended sound to it. Greedy has a p/b sound to it rather like “lope” or “lobe” and is close ended. in any case I’m sure he would give you the benefit of the doubt! this is more commonly used that “khun law mak krap” which I think sounds a bit odd. Most Thais I know of just say “law maaaaakkk” with accompanying expressions of enthusiasm

Good grief businesses don’t even need to be open and operational to incur a dose of @Olddaddy

I stand corrected! But somehow bule also implies loutish behaviour while farang does not?

Like I said. I do not find “farang goes on holiday” titillating…..or in this case, farang goes on holiday taking hallucinogens

My post was mainly made in jest that I wandered in here hoping to see something titillating and indeed you shared pictures of that very handsome model, but it quickly devolved into “farang goes to Bali” which was not erotic at all even stretching the imagination 😂 But yes I have often been in a similar situation to you where I forget I need to cover knees and shoulders before entering a temple in Thailand or Cambodia. Usually it wasn’t my intention to go but decided to accompany a friend on short notice hence the inappropriate attire. By the way you are a much better artist than I am. Unsure if I would even have been able to produce a recognisable tableau …nor have bothered if faced with such an enticing scene. Better ways to occupy my hands.

This thread started so promisingly and ended with a series of photoshopped headless, fully dressed figures in culturally mismatched tops and bottoms

Of all the things I can think of to fib to you about, this would not be one of them 🤨 Your provider (who is not AOT but a third party) is being somewhat pedantic. “Fast track services” are alive and well, as evinced by the screengrab from the AOT app today, and also the service I booked via my hotel last week. There was a specific gate that was literally called “Fast Track” which is closed, but you can still be met by a “butler” brought to a special express lane which could be (as in my case last week) a separate set of lanes that are usually for diplomatic use and also made available for fast track passengers, or perhaps the regular priority lanes that you wouldn’t otherwise get access to unless you are senior, disabled, with babes in arms, or a monk. I suspect that third party service providers may get access to better express lanes the more they pay at the airport.

Grew up in poverty in Kalasin….but graduated in political science and lived life on his own terms, instead of dancing on a stage in Patpong. RIP young man.

I just used a fast track service last week as I had been seeing reports of 1 hour + waiting times And the fast track can still be booked via the AOT app (I used a different one as I left it too late and AOT was booked up). Suggest not paying any heed to online rumors unless officially reported in the news

I think he’s gotten “mobility scooter” mixed up with “motorbike”

I rented a boy who rode the bike

Very important because this is when hotel prices dip, and possibly boy prices too

There are lazy and poor Chinese too, they just don’t get as much press coverage On a more serious note, many of these Chinese families run the family units like businesses which is one of the secrets to their success and growing the wealth with each generation.

‘‘Injecting gold’: Influencer’s horror Thai death How exactly does one inject gold?

Sorry to be pedantic but I’m assuming @khaolakguy means crossing borders illegally when you’re not supposed to do so. A more apt comparison would be trying to cross the UK border to Schengen countries without the appropriate Schengen visa if required. Since Cambodians are all welcome back home, based on what @jimmie50 has said about avoiding police, this is the Thai police who would likely hassle them if caught trying to cross a restricted border. In fact the passengers are less at risk (since the Thais are probably happy to send them back home) than the driver who is making money off flouting existing rules and as you’ve correctly noted, priced in to the high cost. I remember transport to the Cambodian border from a designated pick up point somewhere central (Makkasan or similar) used to only be 2000.

Please don’t be anxious, these border runs are commonplace and Cambodians returning home are always welcome. In fact by the time of me posting this, Cam must be home by now so I hope he’s checked in and reassured you 5000 baht….the price has increased since my ex guy did his bi-monthly border run! or more realistically greater profit in having one full car

I suspect some flights/ flight paths have been cut to increase passengers on still-running flights. This reduces operating costs while eliminating risk of flights taking off half empty which is not profitable. We will have to migrate over there with you to follow your adventures. Wishing Cam a safe journey home.

Apart from preferring gym fit guys, I don’t think I’ve ever hired you

I’m resisting the urge to give you a geography lesson since you don’t even know where Sathorn is 🤦‍♂️

Yes exactly I’m not sure either but based on Jupiter’s recent videos I saw some Cambodians have returned to work at the bar. A very tall guy with a swimmer’s build is one of them. It seems to suggest they can re-enter Thailand now but that is only my guess.

Whether real or bedtime story, his level of self absorbed navel gazing is shocking…probably from all the bending over Also the claim that Indians and Myanmar guys can be easily mistaken for each other! Such extreme ignorance not to mention racism in this statement.

It was due to Thai-Cambodia border tensions, if you recall they closed the border for some time last year in retaliation to Thai military action. It seems they were letting Cambodians through but not Thais and foreigners. And whether the border is functionally operating now is anyone’s guess as it seems to open or shut on a whim (unless you are a Cambodian national)

You are glossing things over simply because this offers you more opportunities for free hook ups. The ethnic Thai-Muslims are indeed a beautiful feature of southern Thailand, and there are thriving Indian communities who have been in Thailand for generations and run many important business industries including gems, textiles. Far less desirable is the conversion of parts of Pattaya and Phuket into Indian ghettos, staffed entirely by imported labour direct from India. I saw many of them in the immigration queue at Phuket airport last month. coming to work as chefs in vegetarian restaurants, or cleaners. They are basically bringing an entire ecosystem straight from India to Thailand, entirely to fuel cheap Indian tourism. This is causing a whole multitude of issues which you are oblivious to.

@jimmie50 firstly I want to congratulate you for trusting your instincts and rolling the dice! Looking forward to reading about your Cambodian adventures in September. Yes this is pretty much the standard border crossing, they need to change cars from a Thai registered vehicle to a Cambodian registered one, as well as get their passports checked at the border. Don’t worry there is an efficient system of coffee money for any boy whose documents have fallen behind. Not a good idea for foreigners to try and cross by land though, at least not until the border situation has calmed down. I knew a boy who married a Chinese female customer who was already living in Thailand. They decided to move back to Cambodia for a lower cost of living. At some point last year he tried to take her through the land crossing, as the family home where they planned to stay was close to the border. He was allowed through but she was not, no matter how much money they offered, and cried bitterly the whole way back to Bangkok airport with her huge pile of luggage, where she had to buy a very expensive plane ticket.
