A first timer goes to LoS and packs his suitcase with тАж

[Cees-Holland]

X. Asked me to start nice topic here, to experience the loving and support on this board first hand, well here it goes.

The best time for me to visit Thailand is May-June and I will do so if everything goes according to plan. I am very excited.

It will be a Bus Tour for 2 weeks (Bangkok, Ayutthaya - Phitsanulok -Sukothai - Chiang Rai- Golden Triangle - Laos - Chiang Mai - night train back to Bangkok) and one week snorkeling arround Cha-Am. Very bourgeois, I know, and nothing gay about it.

What do you suggest to put in my suitcase and what not?

Thanks for your input! :thumbright:

I think X has set you up here for this ...
You state nothing gay about it so you mean no sex ,

No seriously just go lightly

:

A portable DVD player and beaucoup pornos? No condoms, lube or Viagra.

Your trip sounds as exciting as my first trip to Amsterdam.

Good advice from Gra46 - I am even thinking of travelling with hand baggage only next time, and getting all the stuff I need in country.

One suggestion - take a reasonable supply of underwear. If you are of average (or above average) farang size, it can be difficult to find something that fits.

I would pack travelers checks, credit cards, and cash. Forget the rest. Tear up, throw away, and trash those reservations even if that insane trip is already paid for. Keep only the airline tickets.

If your gay and its your first trip to Thailand head straight for BKK or Pattaya. Second or later trips hit Phuket. Before dying consider working in that touristy thing your X set you up with. Or send him on it.

If your under 40, don't need boys, and your a hunk; you can forget this advice.

Most of us newbies are pissed we didn't discover LOS many years ago. Don't blow this opportunity. And for what its worth, I just returned home in February but already heading back the first of April to join a Bangkok boy on a trip for Songkran in his village somewhere out of Ubon Ratchathani. A couple years ago (before my first trip to the den of sin in BKK and Pattaya) I would never have guessed my life could be so blessed. My first trip to a village should be a blast, but if it isn't, I will make the most of it and get back to the dark Soi's of BKK and Pattaya for a much needed taste of heaven.

Seriously, consider this advice. Your going to the greatest candy store on this Planet and you won't even be walking in the door if you do that touristy straight trip. As a minimum, go a few days or a week before the tour and get a daily massage from a cute boy with happy endings and off a boy each night before the tour. Surely, you'll have a few winners in that time and your life just may be changed forever. And who knows, if you wait a decade you may not have the good health to make the trip or Thailand could change. Go for it now. Pack those credit cards and leave.

Given your itinerary and especially the time of year, expect the weather to be very hot and to experience some rain.
Practically, a couple of tips:
1. Take only one pair of long pants - you won't use them often. Don't bother bringing jeans, just too hot to wear.
2. Take a lot of t-shirts, you'll use them often (especially around Cha'am). I realize you might go to dinner with a collared shirt but, frankly, most people around Cha'am don't do that unless they're going to a much above-average restaurant.
3. Take a couple of shorts that are well past your knees. You'll need these (to have your knees covered) to get into some of the temples and other monuments you'll be visiting.
4. Invest in a good pair of leather sandals.....you'll end up wearing them almost daily. Don't take with you any shoes that likely would get "hot" when you wear them for a lot of walking - you won't ever use them.
5. Take with you some of the small keenex/tissue packs.....and carry one with you daily in your pocket. You will likely run into a hong nam (bathroom) where you will need them. Otherwise, you very well may need them to wipe the sweat off your brow.
6. Maybe consider bringing a second swim suit.
7. If you don't like the tiny hotel soap bars, bring a few travel-sized soap bars with you.
8. Go with a good attitude - which it sounds that you have - and have fun.

Just regarding the suitcase:

Posted this before, but here goes again ...

• Take twice as many t-shirts and pairs of underwear that you'll think you'll need.[/*:m:jrcl8kwb]
• Lighten up, by half, the number of long pants.[/*:m:jrcl8kwb]
• Take very few socks, and as noted above, a good pair of sandles. Under no circumstances should the few socks you do take ever be worn with the sandles (an ongoing topic here :blackeye: ). Just because Gra45/46 wears 'em like that doesn't mean you ~ or anyone ~ should.[/*:m:jrcl8kwb]
• If you're over 19 years of age, please leave the tanktops at home. Or, if you insist on taking them, please shave your back.[/*:m:jrcl8kwb]
• That's it ... enjoy.[/*:m:jrcl8kwb]

Cheers ...

YOU DONT MENTION GOING TO PATTAYA.... JUST BRING A SMILE AND YOUR ATM CARD BECAUSE AS A NEWBIE GOOD CHANCE THATS ALL YOU WILL LEAVE WITH.... MIND U CLONED ATM OF COURSE ...WITH ALL THOSE LOVELY UNEXPLAINED DEBITS ON IT ONCE YOU RETURN TO SANITY.



HAHA I PUN IN MY OPINION GO TO PATTAYA AND HAVE FUN OMG I DID AND I WOULD NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING.


I TAKE IT YOUR GAY AS THIS IS MEANT TO BE A GAY WEBSITE ......JUAT GO ,ENJOY, AND THANK BUDDAH YOU ARE ABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE IT REALLY IS THE "LOS".

Cees-Holland, your original post is quite a legitimate query from a newbie to Thailand. As such, please ignore the trash post above from Dani, who always posts junk such as that. Proof is in the puddin' here, a list of his so-called 'contributions' to the Board << member/Dani69/posts/ >>

Back to the topic: One item I'm never without in my wee (but indispensible) shoulder bag is a clean face towel. Nothing worse than heading to the bathroom to wash your face and finding no paper towels (and this happens ALL the time). Thailand is hot and sweaty all the time. Thais live with it, but newbies to the country often swoon in the heat. So take care of yourself.

Cheers ...
