Is the shark cooked on the grill as a steak? Or do I have to eat it fried?
And what would you say the portions are like there? Do they give you man-sized meals?
And you guys are saying that I'm not going to get stuck eating curry and noodles right?
Before I was married I took a trip to Thailand by myself. I had met a Thai girl online and went there mainly to visit her and take in the sights but I was completely blown away by Thai culture when I arrived. Never before had I seen such a place full of partying, drinking, dancing, girls, sex and just random shit in my entire life. I loved every second of it.
BKK was a great place to spend time. I got myself a $30CDN a night hotel and to be honest it was actually quite respectable. I dont think I spent a single sober second in the place so I still to this day do not remember the name. I had to keep the hotel business card in my pocket so I could get home. One night I negotiated a ride for like $3CDN for this guy with a CBR125rr to give me a ride home. I was literally able to see the damn place if I didnt have my liquor eyes on lol, the guy drove me pretty much across the street. Touche Thai bastard haha...you win this round.
I remember the kick ass beer gardens with Thai cover bands playing American rock music perfectly. Sounding just like english speaking musicians only with a little boys voice box! lol They were a blast. There were long row tables with gravity fed beer hoppers about every 6 feet. I remember the super hot Thai girls with high heel leather boots and a mini skirt bikini sporting high rise pig tails and double fisting beer pitchers to top off the hoppers. 80lb hotties with hooters stacking them like capital P's, i'm surprised they didn't need a damn angle brace to keep them upright they were so top heavy....mmmm beer gardens in BKK.
You know I actually treated myself to a non-sexual traditional Thai massage every single day because it was $12CDN and fVck me those girls can handle a westerner. Little Ong Bak maniacs folding you like a pretzel, I swear they had me so wrapped up they could ass rape me and I would be defenseless. The thought did cross my mind as a joke to myself while I was wrapped up one time...thankfully, crisis averted, they were very professional. I highly recommend the non sexual massage its worth it.
I love that a guy can buy his own bottle of booze at the clubs along with a bucket of ice and some mix. Then when you're too shittered to dance or you found the right girl you can just take that baby right out in the street and keep on chugging! As long as you arent being a douche the police could care less from my experience. In fact, the one pair of cops saw me with a cute little Australian tourist in one hand and our bottle of liquor in the other hand and the gave me the thumbs up haha I love that town. You want to talk about kick ass drunk food? Forget McDonald's or a midnight slice of pizza and get a bag of steamed noodles with BBQ who the fVck knows, thats some really great drunken feasting.
I rented a motorcyle for one leg of my trip in BKK so I could take that sucker on a road trip south. If there are any rules to the road in Thailand I failed to see them, its a madhouse there and totally every man for themself. People driving on the wring side of the road, in the middle of the road you name it they were doing it. Packs of stray dogs roaming the streets and having random throw downs with other packs of dogs. Occasionally I would see the odd mangled dead dog on the road with bite marks and blood all over it. Don't look too long you might get hit by a car or a fvcking tuk tuk. By the way, WHAT THE FVCK ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE?!?!?! Some kind of national joke I dont understand? They are the worst built, noisiest piles of commuter sh!t I have ever seen. They are so irritating it would be like replacing your bicycle seat with a dildo... ridiculous. Thanks a lot Thailand...Don't ever send one to Canada we'll whip that sh!t back there so fast your heads will spin. I digress wow...
11 hours down the Gulf of Thailand stopping in on every little town that seemed interesting and chatting up the english speaking Thai girls as they would pour 26oz vodka bottles of gas into my tank to fill it up lol. Not your run of the mill gas station. Nevertheless it did the trick! I stopped in at a resturaunt in one town and after walking in thinking I would get a menu it was the four mystery pots of nuclear fVcking Thai soups. I could have poured it in my tank, fvck me it was potent. I remember the waitress, a 40 something lady, dissapearing only to re appear all done up with make up and a sagged out cleavage for my viewing pleasure. lol, I didnt speak a word of Thai except this is delicious and please and thank you so it was an awkward but pleasant moment with her leaning over the table allowing me to see her rocks in socks while I ate my bowl of lava.
Arriving in a town that was supposed to be the ferry point to take me over to the island from the movie The Beach it was late so I got a cheap hotel and was put in the top floor. I was woken up in the middle of the night with the sound of someone pouring a driving range bucket of golf balls on the tin roof... fvcking scared the shlt out me. I look out my window and there is rain like I have never seen before, and I live on the west coast of Canada...this shlt was insane. The streets were already half a foot flooded and I had just woke up. I suddenly realized where the dudes wearing capri pants and flip flops started. Anyways, by the time I got my stuff packed and got downstairs my rental bike that was grossly out of the allowed rental territory was showing water a couple inches from exhaust pipe hole. "Screw you guys, i'm going home!" right... Anyways, I rode my ass off to get out of the floods. Seemed like forever just to make it a couple blocks in this town. Everybody was trying to get the hell out of Dodge. In a traffic jam the bike stalled and the electronics failed on me. Lights out. I had to jump start the thing in over a foot of water. It was like football tryouts running through the tires but I got her going again and said F it i'm riding on the sidewalks I'll bribe any cop who stops me... So I got out of town and rode for 3 hours before I got out from under the storm system. As luck would have it the electronics had dried out and flickered back on just a couple km before BKK. I was super pumped. I dropped off the bike and never heard another word about it. Good thing the crooked Thai buggers had disabled the odometer...
Back in BKK I got so damn messed up I remember the Thai girls pulling my by the arms trying to get me to take them home at times. I guess I looked like easy pickings...jokes on them I destroyed them in the sack even blurred drunk. I love how they shower you and tidy the room before they go to sleep. To be honest I could have been robbed many times without knowing it because I really never felt threatened in anyway while having guests in my room. But it never happened, they were honest and respectful as can be and it was a real great time.
At another point in my trip I took a tour to Tiger Temple and was able to walk into a tiger pit nestled in a rock canyon and pat the tigers as they lay there chained to anchor points with their bellies extremely full. At least I assumed so because they were super docile and really did nothing scary except for this one lively Tiger that would chase a stick I threw into a pond and just attack the hell out of it. One Thai guy threw a bone up in a tree and a tiger jumped up there and devoured it in about 10 seconds. All part of the show...or was it? One tiger got out of line and the trainer had to beat it into submission with a 4x4 post!! No bullshit, it was time I checked the fvck out of there. Thanks for the memories and good luck with that shit bud, see ya. I should have figured that the buddhist monk with the orange sash looking attire showing claw scars on his rib cage was an indicator that these tigers are all good to a point.
Oh yeah the gf I had there...she was a cute girl. worked for an advertising agency as a secretary and was a real sweetheart. She introduced me to her friend when we first met. I assume she was her buffer in case she didnt like me... Get this, her friends name was Pit Stick. TRUE STORY. Probably not spelled like that but it was definitely her name. I said, "Come again? For a second there I thought your name was pit stick." Different worlds man, I didnt even get an odd look. It was totally normal. Gotta love asians lol I met a girl named apple also. Said she just like the way it sounded.
So the gf took me along on her work vacation. So it was she and I and a bunch of Thai business men...great guys, real fun, but wiped the floor with me playing their sneaky asian card games...I got tooled. Cost me $50 to buy my way in to the fun lol oh wellWe drank, we ate, we laughed, we danced,...I passed out and in the morning I found out there was a battle royal with all the guys and a few of them were taken away to the drunk tank by the police which their wives called !! hahaha I found out from my gf they were drunkenly fighting over right to keep my losses from the card game. Good thing they wiped me out completely of the money I had brought to the beach house lol who knows!
Well, I was there for a little over a month so there are plenty more stories and some of them are the what happens in thailand stays in thailand type and the internet world is certainly not going to hear about them....
Oh and my 2 cents about lady boys after being all over Thailand...They can look like super hot Thai girls so just ask them straight up and they always tell you. They dont want a shiner for not being honest. All you have to so is ask...freedom from awkward bjs thats for sure lol
Wow, thats a novella! ^^
Im saving that for tomorrow with a cup of tea.![]()
Geezuz Clinch, Im so not reading all that, can you provide the coles notes version?
Thanks, it was great place. If my marriage ever did go bad I would have something to look forward to that's for sure haha but that place is off limits for me and even telling partial events brings back a ton of memories and desires that are from an old chapter. One not suitable for married life lol
A lot of guys go there for the cheap golf yes they supply caddies who will take good cere of your balls also
Hey broskie
Did you get a chance to check this out. It likely got lost in the shuffle. Just a couple of question LB, thanks man.
http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...85#post6440485
I finally just read that "novella" Clinch. What a riot! You have an interesting writing style that i enjoy. The "lava soup" had me rolling!
Sounds like a awesome trip! I cant wait to explore Thailand. Next year for sure!
Thanks for the laughs.![]()
Not sure i follow you LB.
Anyway i'll re post what i was asking earlier.
"Lbyts,
That house looks sweeeet! What a deal! I would probably just stay at one of the long stay motels for my first trip.
For the record, i have backpacked through Quintana Roo (Mex) with only a small backpack that fit into the over head luggage compartment. I did this having NEVER traveled before in my life - i was in my 30's at the time. I researched the heck out it first though, like you did. So i have no problem with a cheap, but clean, motel room and eating local food. And im not interested in touristy attractions like zip lining, animals, petting dolphins, para sailing..ect. When i travel to a foreign land my mind is instantly converted over to think like a local and blend in as much as i can. Unless its something that is a must see/do like a temple or a certain area that is must see.
2500$ for 14 days includes 900 airfare, at the time? And when you say "we" did you go with a buddy?
Thanks for the information. I love reading about your Thai adventures."
I first went to Thailand in November 1984 .... One week Bangkok two weeks Pattaya. Loved it. I will be going to Thailand next week for around 10 days. A few days in Bangkok at both ends of the holiday and a few days with a wifey in her village an hour or so from Bangkok. I have been there many times, sometimes on my own, sometimes with the family and sometimes with my daughter. All different types of holiday!!!
I probably have a few good stories that I could tell![]()
[ATTACH=CONFIG]13****[/ATTACH]
Just a random picture from my Thailand pics!
anyone here done Thailand and the Phillipines? Have a preference? I haven't been to either. I might go to the PI to visit relatives, or visit a Thai ex-girlfriend who just moved back to Thailand. I don't have time for both.
I've done both about equal number of times and both of them are great for different reasons and also very similar reasons.
If you have not done either I would suggest visiting your relatives in Philippines.
I've done both but I have been to Thailand many more times. I went to Angeles in the Phillipines and would go there again just to see if it was as bad as the first time I went there. I went to Cebu and it was for a wedding so different circumstances.
There is more crime and guns in the Phillipines and the hotels in Angeles have iron gates and armed guards on the front door, even McD's has two guards with sawn off shotguns on the doors in daylight when te kids come out of school.
I didn't see anything like that in Thailand
Don't know where to start...
I went to thailand for a month after a bad broke up to clean up my mind...it's a really wonderful place to visit and spend time for whatever reason... let's say:
Bangkok it's good for...well you have to land somewhere...
Kho tao= super cool for skuba diving
Kho phagnag= Full moon party...it's a massive rave, you get your drink in a bucket (300ml of wisky, 2 redbull, cola, icequbes) (yes that's your drink!) for 300bath (6 pounds) or if you want to go for something more natural there are tons of mushroom shakes
I absolutely love chang mai, city up to north where I went to jungle, I love jungle, you can go rafting, elephant riding, sleeping in a tribe village etc...make sure you get stuff for mosquitos.
Pattaya= well, let's say for fun, tons of go go bar, make sure you have your condom with you, thai ones are small and brake easy. don't trust any storyes those lady tells you, and try not to fall in love. Eveyone in pattaya is a: "sexy man" "beautiful man" etc... I was super "superstar"...lol
Anyway, If you are not ugly as shit you probabily get laid without paying with go go, but what I learnt is just treat them well.
So regarding the places to go in pattaya I would suggest:
the main street is called walking street, where you can find:
Club insomnia and Ibar= this is a club no go go but it's filled with girls something like 70%girls 30% guys...plenty of choices
And for the go go club I enjoy the shasbury and alkatraz. but anyway it's full of clubs....
wanna ladyboys= soi6
Now talking about my story....don't know where to start... maybe the one where I went in a police station and the girls who was with me wated to blow me in the toilet should be a good start....
So: I was out for a beer in Khang mai,and I met this girl who was a mui thai fighter, we drank several shots together, she payed me some drinks which is unusual and she told me to go and see her fighting next day. It looked like she was fighting some famous farang girl and she was so sure to win that she choose to get drunk the night before...or maybe that was just her lifestyle.... anyway, one of her friends started arguing with another thai girl over a guy they both wanted, and they start a fight. At this point my girl came in...I saw kat fight before but never a professional muay thai kicking another girls head, well, that was hillarius.... I tryed to make a video for the youtubers sake but there was a reall mess over this 2 girls and I was holding her bag and high hills...so no video....
Anyway the police arrived and took only the first 2 girls who started to the police station. But my muay fighter date wanted to go as well so I drove her with my motorbike to the police station.
Well when I was there I needed to use the toilet...so I went and as soon as I open the door the muay fighter came in...I don't know how but probabily she was really quick and my dick disappear in her month in few seconds...I was drunk, I was excited but **** this is a thai police station, I could finish in a jail for a bullshit like that...so I got scared, and I went out the toilet.
After one hour and 500 bath bail the girl's friend was released so we went all home. I took this girl to my place but she didn't wanna ****...only blow jobs...who knows...maybe I hook up with a ladyboys muay fighter...I'll never know...
i suggest 2 books for the newbies travelling to thailand: the first one is private dancer, the second one is angels of pattaya...make sure you read them before falling in love with any thai hooker...not that any of the stuff in the book happened to me..isn'it?...lol...
Alright...it's time I made another contribution to this thread...likely one you guys will appreciate far more.
I'd just like to say that I edited all these pictures and from what I can see I am not breaking any forum rules by posting them....however if one of the admins disagrees with me I will take them down immediately. I don't want to cause any trouble.
First I will post pics of some of the working girls I took home.

These next couple are some random ones I took while there. The one of the ocean was my "backyard" at the Karma Samui resort I stayed at on Koh Samui...which I highly recommend. The only hang up is it's about $1,700 a night (I got an incredible deal cause I knew someone who owned the 5,000sqft villa...no way I could afford that haha). The second one is a picture I took in a taxi in Bangkok, and the last picture is of a little dog that I found sleeping peacefully in a family mart at around 2AM haha.
