I think the capital of Thailand is BKK , why ? Is that some sort of weird inside joke reference, b/c im not as plugged into American pop culture as i used to be .

The whole thing is set up to convince you to accept the unacceptable.

You are 100% right .


My favorite are the people who are convinced that anyone who goes to SE Asia is a “sexpat”.. personally speaking, I’ve never paid for pussy, or for anything else ‘dating’-related… now, I don’t judge, and im not even saying i wont pay for it when i get older- just that I’ve never paid cash to a woman for any sort of dating up to this point.. now to be clear, we all ‘pay for it’ in some way, just like in America- by buying her dinner, or listening to her bitchin or acting like we care about whatever she’s saying.. and again i don’t judge since many guys who go to SE Asia for a couple weeks vacation want a ‘sure thing’, so they’ll pay for a high end escort or a bargirl or a massage parlor happy ending or whatever, no judgement here.. but when I go there , i go for big chunks of time, longest time I’ve ever spent there was 18 months- so i have time to meet normal, educated, classy women - for the most part .. dont pay attention to the ill-informed people, who think everyone who goes to SE Asia are into illegal, underage things.. simply not true, every woman I’ve been involved with has been legal, consensual and ADULT.. im sure there are a few guys who dont follow that and they give everyone else a bad name but hey, you can even find sex trafficking in America.. End of the day, ignorant people are gonna have ignorant opinions, full stop .

Does anyone have any stories of guys just staying over there after the war?

Sure, Jim Thompson traveled to Thailand as US military to fight the Japanese, but the war ended as he arrived in Bangkok. He liked it, and stayed for a few decades (as a spy for the first few years, at least). He opened up a silk business that is still doing very well. His house in Bangkok is well worth a visit for the old style Thai stilt houses he moved there (very few remain) and there are some pretty cool artifacts. He vanished while hiking in Malaysia in the 1960's. One of the artifacts in his house:



It's an outline of Laos and the UAS did the bombing. The interesting thing is that the date the bombing ended, and shown on the decoration, was 1973. Thompson had been dead for a while, so it was not his. In fact he had a falling out with the OSS and was out of favor in Washington. It's quite possible we had him killed since his sympathies were with the Laotians.

Jim Thompson story.

I had a chance to spend a month in Thailand in February and loved it. The people have to be the nicest and friendliest on the planet. And the food is awesome. An engineer I worked with married a Thai woman and spends several months a year there. He loves it too.

A friend moved to the Phillipines on retirement with plans to spend a few years seeing asia. He's already dating a local who must be 20-30 years younger. He's loving it.

In business over there, it helps to have a Westerner, preferably White American in the room.

They place White men, particularly tall white Americans on a pedestal.

Saw a Donkey frick a Women in Tijuana, never thought she could take? But she did.

The thing is, you absolutely cannot, and should not , bring your Western mindset to that part of the world.

Agreed, I've been around a bit and never want to be one of the ugly American tourists I run into too often (Nothing is worse than the Chinese, though). I do intend to visit him in the spring, though not really with any intention of finding a girlfriend. Life is more enjoyable to me without all the drama. I mostly want to see more of Asia, we'll likely go see somewhere else like Vietnam which is high on my list.

I’d like to visit Da Nang, I haven’t been to Vietnam yet.. but weirdly, I’ve talked to multiple people who said that Da Nang has a major problem with rats.. like, they said they’d see more rats in one day in Da Nang than in an entire month in Bangkok.. just something to consider .
