Girls in Thailand

      I’d heard lots about Thailand and how the girls there were reputedly the prettiest in the world. Plus, the young girls there like older guys.  So I decided to stop in Bangkok on my way back to the States.  I was there for just two days but what they say is true. After checking into my hotel, I went to a big mall next to the hotel.  Within no more than 20 minutes I saw at least 40 girls I would have given my eyeteeth to bed.  The only problem was, they all seemed to be in their late teens.  To this day, I can’t figure out where they keep the slightly older beauties in their twenties. Maybe rich guys take them off the market and put them up in apartments. Unfortunately, there are two other problems with Thai girls.  The girls in Bangkok speak English but it’s expensive there.  You can find young beauties outside Bangkok in the provinces, but you face the language barrier.  Few speak English.  The second problem is more serious.  AIDS is rampant in Thailand.  I don’t think it’s worth the risk.

Beware this common hoax

When chatting with filipinas over the Internet, beware this common hoax.  A girl calling herself Kim Reyes sends pictures of herself that are really pictures of Angel Locsin, a well-known filipina actress.  She claims her real name is Kim Reyes and her professional name is Angel Locsin.  As much as 75% or more of filipinas send fake pictures of pretty models or actresses to attract men.  This is a good example.

Local Hotels

There are many places to stay in asia, each different and each with their own strengths and weaknesses.  My personal preference is to stay at local hotels or bed and breakfasts. I like to stay in nice places, but I hate staying in over prices marriots or similar places. I mean, I hate paying 300$ a night when they all look the same and you could be anywhere, even the states. Local is much better. In Thailand I stayed at a 4 star hotel right next to a marriot, they paid 300$ I paid 40$ and my place was a LOT nicer and had a beautiful ethnic feel. I have stayed in 5 star hotels in Singapore for 50$ a night, I have stayed an a hotel in Vietnam that was once the playground of high military and foreign ambassadors for 60$, with a multi-room suite no less. I found China to be a bit more expensive, but I haven’t explored China as much as I would like yet.  Indonesia has some beautiful places, though you have to be careful there, and it helps to know people before you go.

Sometimes I found the best thing to do is just head to an area and walk around and find smaller hotels.  I have stayed in some beautiful places that would never show up on expedia. It’s a bit more adventurous, but it adds to the fun of travel.

Another thought for you, If you are traveling and plan on bringing any ladies back to the room,  make sure that the hotel is ok with that. Sometimes you have to pay a double rate, or they require that they check in.  Sometimes they don’t allow overnight guests at all. There is something some of my friends call the “walk of shame” as well. If you are bringing a lady back to the room, some hotels have a long walk to the elevator where pretty much everyone watches you. Some hotels are quite “guest” friendly though, and will even watch out for your best interests by taking IDs and if your lady friend leaves they might call your room to make sure everything is ok.

Recent post about this blog.

I was actually quite happy to see a recent blog post about one of my first posts here. I figured I would stir up a bit of controversy, and I am happy to say that I am right. (would have been nice to have a link back to me though)
I am quoted 2 times in the rant, once with “chinese girls are so great and all i have to do is sit here at starbucks and they come back to the hotel with me.” and another with “i can get hot chicks here when nobody at home looks my way”
First, I never mentioned chinese, so I am guessing that the author is a chinese girl, not that there is anything wrong with that, just a bit arrogant that she thinks all Asians are Chinese. On the second quote, I am at a loss for where that even came from, it’s a reach from “flirt with beautiful women” to “get hot chicks”
Bash my opinions and thoughts all you want, but if you are going to QUOTE me, do it right. A self justifying paraphrase is not a QUOTE, regardless that you say “along the lines of”.

As for me being illiterate, perhaps I am. Written english was never my strong point, and I use way to many commas and break way to many english structure rules. I tend to just write what I am thinking of as if I was talking to someone. So sue me! it gets the point across, and maybe after I write this blog for a bit longer I will improve my skills. It’s better to get up and dance even if you don’t dance well, than to sit at the side of the room and hide.

I am also accused of not posting her comment, but then, I am fairly busy and don’t come running to the blog 10 times a day to check to see if anyone read or wrote anything. So my apologies if I was slow to approve your comment, and in apology, I gave you a link, and a front page reply as well as a comment in the comments themselves.

What I do and what I have learned is not considered acceptable to most women in the west, but I have found very few men that have any problem with it at all. I expect a lot of bashing and bullying but I don’t mind, men in the states have gotten used to it. We are not supposed to still want to be men when we get older, we are supposed to want to be loveless companions that get less respect than a puppydog. Similar in a way I guess to older people in china (nod to the rant), as the older people in china are respected highly, but they are supposed to stay home and pretty much stay out of sight as their time is over. I find it amusing that as a white guy in Asia, I feel like a kid starting my life again, when the elder chinese are not given the same opportunity.

Do I stick out like a sore thumb in Asia? you bet I do, and that is bad how? (ok, bad depending where I am as some areas it’s really is not a good thing to be white. Walking wallet and randsom is all some see)

I spent most of my youth trying to stick out. I see all around me people that want to rebel and don’t want to conform. I guess once you get older, people think you should shut up and go hide. I LIKE being noticed, I like the attention. It has been a very long time that I got attention from women in the states other than a warm body to marry, and when they find out you don’t want to get married, you cease to exist.

Anyway, thank you for your comments, I really did appreciate them. I appreciate them more and more as I think of them. I would rather be ranted at and bullied than being told to shut up and sit in the corner like a nice old man.

Bless you

Ladyboys

Morning all,

One thing that I have had to learn about over in asia is being careful of “ladyboys” ( as they call them in thailand, Bakkla in philippines, or gay/transvestites as they call them here). Not that I have anything against anyone being gay, as long as you know what you are getting. Asian men are often very feminine and dainty, and can pass as amazingly beautiful women. More often than you would believe.

When you sit in a bar or a club, some of the most beautiful girls are not girls. I have seen many a man doing well with a ladyboy and had to pull him aside and let him know to his shock that the girl he’s hitting on is not a girl.
Don’t think that they are soft and weak though, if you dont treat them with respect it won’t matter if you are 6′6″ ad all muscle, you will end up in bad shape. Either from a knife or all thier friends joining in.

I have found them quite nice and very entertaining to have in your party when you go out. They are also good for telling you who else in the place is a ladyboy too. When I have gone clubbing I have always made sure I make friends with ladies in the bar early and ask them in a joking way who is who. You will find it quite surprising, though after awhile you start to get an eye for them, but if you are a newbie be prepared to be shocked. Just dont be homophobic and ask politely, and you will be fine.

Todays ramble wasn’t so much about dating a woman, more like making sure it’s a woman you are dating, unless you’re happy either way. :)

Starbucks

Starbucks is a place I have met many girls. All you have to do is sit at a table there long enough, and just like in France, the world will walk by.

I have just smiled at a girl while sitting outside Starbucks and she has made the opening conversation. They sit down, you buy them a coffee and chat for awhile. Make a date for that night, or the next day, or sometimes even go back to the hotel after coffee. Though the fast ones are usually more of a professional nature. Though a professional nature in Asia, is again, nowhere near what you think anywhere else in the world. I am not sure I can really explain it, but it’s a lot more like a normal date with a sweet person.

A clue for the more professional types is they are generally more aggressive, and their cellphones are usually very expensive models. A cellphone in asia is like a badge of status. That badge costs money, and the women that generally have the spare money to spend that much on a phone are usually kept by someone, or someones, or are a working girl.

I have spent many a pleasurable afternoon at Starbucks, even if I don’t set up any dates, it’s a very relaxing way to spend the afternoon flirting with beautiful women, especially when in the states, nobody would even give me the time of day.

Chinese girls

I’ve been to China 3 or 4 times for both business and pleasure. I’ve found girls from the largest cities like Beijing to be less approachable to non-Asian guys than other cities. Shanghai has a different flavor though and is more cosmopolitan. The girls are classier, but more materialistic too. If you’re a successful businessman you’ll do better. Girls of southern China tend to be some of the prettiest anywhere.

China overall is growing at a phenomenal rate. Despite the Communist regime, Communism is slowly fading (thank god for that). The current generation is far more “hip” and worldly-aware than any previous generation. The government still censors a lot, but more world news gets into China now then ever before, bringing the rest of the world closer to China, and China closer to the rest of the world. Travelling in China is not the hassle it used to be. Tourists are far more welcome, and non-Asians can be seen in any large city; both travelers and business people alike.

It is far easier now to strike up a conversation with a Chinese girl now than before also; English is taught pretty much universally in all schools and is a required subject. Here’s a staggering fact- Soon China will have more English speaking people than any other country on the planet. When traveling in China it is a good idea to know at least some simple phrases in Mandarin (the national language). Girls seem genuinely impressed when they see a foreigner try to speak their language (hint hint).
