Yeah, the guys around 13 definitely have come stern rules and areas they stick to. Seems like they have set boundaries they do not stray from and seem overall non threatening. Also their blow is a lot better than you would think for this location in the world and the touristy area they sell in.

yes, as far as gang members brought over from distant lands to engage in a drug trade, they are remarkably laid back, non threatening, open to bargaining, some will even try to befriend you with "hey I'm done for the night and just hanging out in this bar you want to get a drink"

never bought anything from gang members on the street in the USA but I can't imagine it'd have nearly the laid back and safe vibes that exist in asia

what was the resolution to this - account back and funds cool after you went back home and logged in?
I had similar when I was in mexico before, they told me it was fine to play, then told me it's not and not to touch my account until I was back in USA. At which point maybe I sent in a USA bank statement and everything was fine. Account lock is something I could care less about, but fund confiscation is my concern.

Thailand
Thailand removed all restrictions on October 1, 2022, but just 3 short months later has stated it will be resuming proof of vaccination for all arrivals, which officially starts January 9, 2023. Then, in a last-minute decision on January 9th, the same minister that said proclaimed the return of entry requirements, said enforcing said rules are now too “cumbersome and inconvenient” and reversed the new vaccine requirement.
Thailand remains open without any entry requirements, but proceed with caution.

whoa, just stumbled across this - so zero has changed since last month besides no more 45 day visa exempt?

Post her thaifriendly here and we'll analyze

dude... owns a clothing shop, deleted the profile, and invests in crypto are huge red flags she's trying to scam you, idk about SEA but in China nearly everyone doing something illegal for a living said they owned a clothing shop because it's super easy and low investment cover - a lot of prostitutes would just say they sold clothing if asked about their careers when they weren't on the clock - many actually did have clothing shops as well, it just wasn't primary source of their income

and you do know about the crypto scams right?


be super careful with your finances around her

like half the matches i get on the dating apps in the US that are asian tell me that they trade crypto for a living and want to exchange numbers/whatsapp etc right away because they know it's a matter of time before that account i banned - they often say "ok i'm deleting this app now that we matched" but they aren't, they are actually unmatching you so then if you do become aware of the scam then you can't report the profile

it's a long con, they try to form a relationship, get to know you, they'll send you screenshots of their wins, eventually they'll let you in on the fact they have insider info and will tell you "hey there's this coin that's only on this exchange and you can deposit too and we can both get rich together" but the exchange you depostited on doesn't exist and when you try to withdraw you can't

just be careful bro, i'm hoping she's real, seems like you've met in person a bunch so possibly it is but woah she checks all the red flags and i worry if she's meeting in person then perhaps this is a more dedicated scam where she goes through you laptop while you sleep or are in the shower etc and steals your money via online banking and crypto

He hasn't arrived in Bangkok yet so they haven't met in person. He's sure she's the one though.

oh dear lord he's ffed

It's hard to keep track of these clowns but I think it's ATK test on arrival for the unvaxxed and that's it. I'm not sure what happens if you test positive though.

Don't listen to these Debby Downers broken record. Thaifriendly has quite the rigorous screening process for the local girls and sounds like you've got yourself a real gem there. I'd say good luck but I don't think it's needed.
The only thing is that if you want her spending a lot of time with you she may have to hire someone to watch her business. I think it would be only fair that you cover this cost for her. A starting wage for a shopkeeper like that in Bangkok would be like $700 a month (USD) so should probably work that into your budget. When are you coming out? Does she have any friends?

I got ahold of them when I visited home they gave me my account with funds without asking for paperwork.

The blow off top on hookers over the past decade was during Covid. In between the 1st and 2nd, and in between the 2nd and 3rd shut downs esp. The 3rd shut down and later wasnt as good as it didnt get the back to work rush the 2nd did, at that point no one believed it would stay open. Then eventually it stayed and got to the point it is now.

Tourist didnt exist it was expat only. The selection maybe not as high as pre covid but close enough with no Asians to battle with. Prices were cheap and nobody fought over a condom because everyone expected to die soon anyways. Girls were desperate for customers it was amazing.

yf, you're not concerned about rawdogging SEA asian hookers?

Not trying to troll nor shame but when was last time you got tested?

Dont worry about me dad I'm on PREP.

I played in a very low stakes poker game today, lots of fun and omg everyone was awful, like really awful, i cleared up and they were all happy and wanna play again soon

back to Bangkok in a few weeks i am in pattaya now, just chilling out enjoying the sun.

I dont like to party too much and only drink a little bit but even so i like it here, i dont think its only for drinkers and druggies.

Human bodies are designed to fit together that way without passing on diseases and there is no major problem with this despite the constant attempts to pathologise normal natural sexual behaviour.

Because in case she had something without symptoms that he's caught and has no symptoms it would be really important to know about it. Almost as important as getting a breakdown of his gut flora that is also living symbiotically with him.

Assuming we're talking straight vaginal sex with natural women, it's really difficult to catch even if the woman is infected.

If you're still at the age when you might start a family then yes, be careful, as you don't want to bring souvenirs from SEA back to your square life, but otherwise have fun and don't overestimate the risks. Life's too short to do anything else.

Man, there are some exceptionally stupid people in this thread.

This was meant to say "catch HIV" .

really brave of you to lay out insults and not even say who they are directed at

Fine but no reason to delete ThaiFriendly profile unless you're sure.

Best to keep several irons in the fire.

have you talked to her on cam/face time? If not you're probably in an online relationship with a dude.

Brother I hate to say this but there's a 99% chance that you're talking to a scammer.

per usual, they think we're just haters instead of saying "yeah that is weird how she refuses to video chat"

has she sent you any screenshots of some big plays she's made in the markets recently?

I know there's no shortage of fools but I wonder if this guy is a troll. Insane number of red flags. For one, I've been in Thailand 10+ years and she's well above average in looks dept. Based on the pictures of person shown in the profile, she doesn't seem like someone who owns a clothing store. Person in pic looks more like someone from a well off family, likely spent time abroad. But that is just my own profile assessment. Would love to hear others opinion. Also, someone like her is getting 100s of messages daily from fools all over. No way she deletes account for one of those fools. A real person would keep options open at least until meeting in person. Also, asians use Line mostly, scammers use telegram.

yeah i covered the reasons why they do that in an earlier post

also been wondering if he's trolling as the "maybe she's the one" is a little too much
