I agree with you about racism in Thailand.

Thais are, in general, very nationalist also and don't have much respect for any foreigner, american, german or whatever. You are just a guest here, not more ...

I think a lot of people get fooled by the "smiling" nature of thai people, the reality is that they have their dark sides too but it can be difficult to spot them for us, westerners.

Sounds like Koreans.

Sirrocco [censored] ROCKS! My favorite bar in Bangkok. Shhhhh, keep this place quiet!

Which pool hall is that? The old Brunswick zone on Soi nana?

[/ QUOTE ]

It is the "Ball in Hand" at the original location off of soi nana. Down nana about 500 meters on the right above/behind the 7-11.

Ball in Hand 2 is near the Asok BTS. Both have great tables and are the best pool halls in Bangkok. I liked the old Brunswick, too bad it closed. (that's what I heard at least)

Hey beats,

Nice pad. Actually looks very similar to the one I had. I paid $1k a month but it was a 2br. Same wood floors and stuff and furniture built into the walls.

Thanks man, where were you staying? Chaidee mansion? I thought I recognized something in a pic I saw on your blog. Some of the furnished apts I looked at were really cool but there would be one really wack thing that ruined it! One was nice, had stainless fridge, black granite counters in kitchen, modern style and then... a big ass stained glass divider between the bedroom and living room. WTF! It looked like the Church lady's house.

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
 

Last I saw they were renovating brunswick. Or maybe they were making it into a hotel and ditching the tables.

I usually play at 'The Factory' between soi 3-5. Gotta love the sexy little skirts they wear in there.

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
 

i know someone mentioned something about dec – feb being the most bearable months, in terms of temperature. is it still hot? can you still enjoy beaches? what temps are we talking about?

is A/C pretty much everywhere you go in the major cities and islands?

during the rest of the year, does everyone just sweat?

It is pretty much always hot. It just gets really really hot in march-april. That coincides with the world's biggest waterfight (songkran festival) so that keeps the heat down for that week.

Today it is the rainy season and no rain today but it was probably around 88. Yesterday I golfed and it rained a bit in the morning but by afternoon it was over 90 degrees. In the hottest part of the year it is always over 90. Over 100 on some days. Yeah, you just go from A/C to A/C on those days or hangout in the pool.

A/C is pretty much everywhere in the city. On islands if you want a bungalow, you will pay more for one with A/C. Others probably have a fan, but I never stayed in the non A/C ones.

Refuse all taxis that wont put the meter on. If you are insistant then they will turn it on.

It helps if you know a little thai. When they try that [censored] with me I put them in their place and tell them I know whats up and the meter either goes right on or I get in the next one.

[/ QUOTE ]

that pretty much sums it up lol

i've gotten out of many cabs cuz they wont turn on the meter

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but at the airport and at the bus station (if you take government buses) there is a line up specifically for taxi-meters that always turn on the meter.

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
 

dont leave your hotel and get into the taxi/tuktuk sitting outside. just walk away a bit and flag when down.

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand

Great picture. What are your other favorite spots in bangkok

[/ QUOTE ]

Ever go to the horseraces? There are 2 tracks, Royal Bangkok Sports Club and Royal Turf Club. Cabbies always know which one the races are that week. Pretty sure it alternates every Saturday. Might be at one of them on Saturday and the other on Sunday. The races are pretty certainly fixed but I always enjoyed going in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. In Chaing Mai, the best place to have kanoom jeeb was the track. Mmmmmm.

i see normal looking guys walking around with those things constantly. i mean it isn't a guy now, that used to be a dude.

anybody who has gone out a significant amount in thailand has been attracted to one of those, started talking to it, only to realize he is talking to a former dude. it happens.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bad beat.

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
 

I think I'd still rather hit this former boy rather than some of the crater-faced broads you guys have been posting.

Hot chicks have been few and far between. I'll get you guys started

I might be a homophobe, but these ladyboys pretty much preclude me from trying to bang anyone in Thailand.

Yeah, this bothered me at first but then I thought about it. If I don't ever find out that it used to be a man does it really matter to me? I wouldn't ever do one of these ladyboys knowing that they're a ladyboy but if I don't find out what harm does it do?

Also, wouldn't you be able to tell that it's a ladyboy if you get a good look at the equipment?

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
 

^haha. That still makes you gay. Just cause you dont care enough to investiage the situation.

Why is everyone so worried about [censored] a ladyboy. Are you intentions to come to Thailand and take a bar girl home every night?

Re: Ask Degen Anything About Living In Thailand
 

Anybody ever visit the island of Koh Chang Lek (not the big Koh Chang) This one is on the phuket side. Very small and not so beautiful but very quiet and peaceful because its not in the guidebooks so not many people come.

I ended up staying there for over a month and had a great time. Its right next to Ranong

when you guys got to thailand, was it strange for you that they didnt shave their legs? you cant tell from far away, but when you get close you see all these thin little hairs. god, i love thai girl legs. i want to be reincarnated as a university skirt.
