best bet might be craigslist or thaivisa classifieds, find a farang who is leaving going back home who needs to sell

Any BKK people who are coming down to Pattaya anytime soon and know where to get white Galliano Sumbuca in BKK care to bring some down? If you can bring 7 bottles I'll give you one of them for free. Or you can bring 6 and I'll give you the cash instead.

Or does anyone know a place in BKK that stocks it. I can prob organize to get it delivered some other way.

They do no research online and rely on "friendly" tuk tuk drivers to take them to clubs which end up being the trashier ones.

this is why the majority of backpackers fail thailand imo. coming 1000s of miles to hang out at khao san in bkk, then other backpacker spots all over the country(even in towns there are 1 or 2 hostels for them to hang at). Coming to thailand to just hang out with other farang travelers(same one you can find in hostels in any other country) is just something I will never understand. Even the biggest Klaus sex tourists have more interaction with thai people than most backpackers

yes they are

girls who hang out at afterhours bars do this, especially if you are giving them money or buying stuff. these are hookers, but not gogo girls.

I was looking for that for a while on craigslist. Hard to find. Anything around 3k is gonna be kiddy bikes. Everything was like 10k baht to 40k baht.

khrap. Was also looking for a second hand scooter on CL. In the end it's probably better to just buy a new one. No fuss with papers, insurance, things that break and they keep their value reasonably well. If you buy a new click now at 50k you can still sell it for 30k 2-3 years later. I've saved over 15k in taxi fares over the last few months alone.

left my camera an a rental bike today. called 15 minutes later, nowhere to be seen. just a 100 buck one that took ****ty pics so *** it.

+1 on the cheap samsung phone. Lost a couple of smartphones in taxis/nightclubs so I downgraded to:

couldnt take any creepers or hooker pics once my phone died. camera made a beep about half second before it flashed. they were too fast - pic blocked me with thier hands or a sheet everytime. then Id have to negotiate a much tamer pic or nothing at all.

If anyone knows me well enough here maybe JSP? he maybe able to confirm even if I was making $5k a month id still be spending next to nothing. Because I dont care for materiel **** or objects. So why work to earn money im not going to spend when I can enjoy myself now, when my life roll goes under 6months cost of living then ill go look for work.

This was one of the reasons the whole "your so busto PE" or "you need $2k+ to live in bangkok" debates used to happen. I just couldn't care less for a 50k/month apartment, or a sickening TAG watch, why bother when I got #Swag?

jsp is the master of doing it in go gos. I dont bother there but on the street, in clubs and back at your room. Then you get the awkward moment of taking a creeper pic of a girls legs on the BTS when the flash goes off.

@ piepounder. Im also pretty bad with breaking phones but i still think you are better off getting a smartphone with ok camera.

the sony nexus range have some toughened phones some are even waterproof i picked one up fairly cheap just recently.

then all u gotta do is make sure u dont loose it but as you always have a phone with you so its harder to loose than a camera.

whenever I buy trousers/jeans/chinos, the first thing I check are the pockets are they deep enough that no matter how drunk i get it wont fall out. To this day I have not lost a single phone

its a feature of the operating system, not the phone itself, so any new andriod would do it regardless how cheap it is. might be androids as low as 4k-5k.
