i saw a video of some guy walking in some soi giving random girl 20 each. supposedly this was baller. i was expecting at least strawberry. hopefully you don't mean this video.

also in my fantasy i was playing lady gaga and throwing 100k chips at the dealer, so it is quite a good idea of "making it rain"

and how come nobody is talking about the impending BKK flood?
10-09-2011 , 02:16 PM
fwiw they went into a gogo (or is it agogo?) and threw hundreds of 20s around. Chaos ensued.

It wasn't supposed to be ballah, it was supposed to be fun. And it was.
10-09-2011 , 02:32 PM
did they scream MAKE IT RAIN!!!!!!?

i believe it's an agogo.

b/c the thing is its the opposite of a prisoners dilemma: at some point in time if you wait long enough everyone "loses": if we don't work out a bribe in time, it sucks for us to get in official trouble and cops have to do paperwork and make no extra cash...

I'm also not sure about the whole "don't speak any Thai" or have any Thai friends you can call play, but I used it.

btw the latest episode (Season 2 Episode 3) of "An Idiot Abroad" is 85% shot in Thailand (BKK and CM area), pretty entertaining even if you don't know Karl Pilkington or Ricky Gervais.

gotta watch that, Karl Pilkington is hilarious.

don't. the theory is that you're just a tourist fresh off the boat who can't speak any Thai and does not therefore understand the concept of offering a bribe to the police at all. I think it can backfire though if they catch on, which I think they may have since I went from riding around on a motorbike taxi in BKK ->> barely being able to say sawatdii kap to the cops.

edit: the problem also is "fresh" tourists also have way more fear of Thai prison and more money to spend carelessly than farang who are accustomed to Thai living/prices. There was a lot of talk about how I'd be going to Thai prison and such which clearly did not phase me since I knew it was a big jopke to try and get money.

FWIW i've made it rain in gogos, at ladybars, and from balconies overlooking multiple bars. i'm assuming the video referenced is me walking down Soi Lion stuffing 20 baht notes in all cleavage that's available. it began with confusion and ended with me being swarmed by ladies presenting their asses and tits for me to stuff 20s in... satisfactory.

I'm not Vlad, i don't represent that i'm Ballin'.. in fact, there are people here who will blow my net worth in a night out in Vegas. doesn't change the fact that throwing a few thousand bahts worth of 20s in the air is a lot of fun. if you wanna be more baller, do it with 1k notes at The Bank or something.
10-10-2011 , 12:51 PM
but did you scream MAKE IT RAIN!!!!

cuz thats the most important part

It's not legal to sell it in Thailand though, so if you need it after that you will have to make do with Ritalin.
Is it possible to get Ritalin prescribed in Thailand?? I thought Ritalin is illegal since a few years in Thailand.

Is a 30-day supply the maximum of Adderall/Ritalin you can bring in?
10-10-2011 , 03:21 PM
you can get both adderall and riddalin legally.

I think the problem in Samui is that tourists are always getting busted and consistently pay up to 50k, making that the standard amount for police to demand even from locals. Ah, the economics of corruption.

the adderal part is contrary to everything I've heard, where do you get it?
10-11-2011 , 06:54 AM
get the sand bags ready
10-11-2011 , 10:16 AM
Name of doctor and pharmacy who give adderall please!
10-11-2011 , 01:08 PM
I spent a couple hours researching this online and it appears there is no adderall in Thailand and ritalin was either recently banned or incredibly difficult to get prescribed.

They're cracking down on tourist visas. I just barely got my 4th consecutive in Cambodia and I brought a letter from my banker, my bankbook and lease agreement. But still it was probably my gf that got me the visa by telling them we were planning to marry and buying a house.

I initially used a highly recommended travel agent and he couldn't do anything for me.

I'm going to switch to an ed visa next, esp now that I can do the classes via skype.
10-12-2011 , 02:15 AM
get a new passport

solved.

tell the guard outside the PP embassy what you want, and he'll tell you how much of a bribe he requires to get it done. last time, $50 bribe got me a double entry visa processed the same day, was delivered to my hotel at around 8pm.
