He is of course right. As if I'd want the loonies, nutters and psychos who spit venom here daily knowing where I stay. Rest assured it's a quality establishment where gentlemen feel at home.
OMG all we loonies,nutters and psychos need to do is to go to DD for breakfast and watch for the big spender who buys the 99 baht breakfast with 100 baht and waits for his change. Then we get our gangs together and raid his living quarters and mix with the people who admire the people he brings home with him.
OMG he is so up himself he thinks he is Royality.

Arise Sir Lonely. For services to food and humour here on SGT.

Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
LW, if he could get “up himself” as you put it he would save a lot of money and could afford to leave the 1B change as a tip

Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
That pic posted by Scottish-guy posting 34 looks like the mess outside that hotel but I am sure she/he was not working that stall. to be frank I wondered lf it was still in business
-
Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Sir Lonely. I think you should invite Scottish Guy out for a nice breakfast. Even you can stretch to 238 baht. (its gone up) As the pair of you have similar dispositions and ages you'll get on well.
-
Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
In that case Lonely must also be decades younger than you.
You really need to get off this line of attack - it's like Quasimodo calling other people ugly
-
Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Attack? I'm merely suggesting that ypurself and Sir Lonely are very similar and would get on well. No attack whatsoever.
-
Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Perhaps better to address your own (considerable) shortcomings than to focus on the similarities or dissimilarities of people you don't know and have never met
-
Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Why so nasty? I can't see how you and Sir Lonely wouldn't have plenty in common. Here, you come across as soul mates. What about it Sir Lonely? Breakfast with Scottish Guy?

So we flew to Phuket and was met at the airport by the taxi from the resort I had booked and off we went. It was me, my bar buddy, and two friends/relatives of his and we had rented two bungalows on the beach.
Well, they also had a multi story hotel that sat up on a hill and that was where they put all their tour group visitors.
We decided to go to the swimming pool and swim so off we go to the pool; of course they get under the shower and thoroughly clean themselves before jumping in...well as they were doing that a bunch of old German fraus were hustling themselves and their kids out of the pool.
So we had the pool all to ourselves. Then the manager shows up and asks my Thai guests not to swim in the pool because the other guests didn't like having Thai's in their pool. I just looked at the manager and said, "I am paying full price for two bungalows and those big fat Germans, who only take a bath once a week don't want Thai's, who take baths three times a day to get their water dirty? I think my two bungalows make you more money than their deeply discounted hotel rooms do...
So then he offered us a deal. They had a beach that was a little ways off shore that they would boat us to every morning on of our stay and we could have the whole beach, the bar, and a picnic lunch all to ourselves. So the next morning off we went and had the time of our lives.....did that for three days.
Had a picture but it isn't uploading.....
I don’t get it. You fly 6000 miles to a foreign country and then do not want to be around the locals? I might have slugged the guy. Was he Thai or European ?

Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
He was Thai and I didn't get mad because I understood the situation he was in. After it was all said and done I have to admit he gave me an awesome alternative! A beautiful pristine beach without another person on it with free food and cheap booze...oh, and two very cute staff members...a very good time was had by all. When we checked out I thanked him and tipped him profusely as a good time was had by all! :)
Yes, non sex tourists can be baffling...they go to a foreign country to for sun, for fun, to shop, and to basically be waited on hand and foot....but they sure don't want to mingle.

To make up for those baffling tourists, as you called them, who just come to Thailand for the sun, shopping and to be waited on hand and foot, I can assure you, TaoR, that as a fully paid up sex tourist, I am doing my level best to do as much mingling with as many of the locals as I possibly can!

Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Anyone ever stay at a Marriott in Bangkok? My friend is well over thirty, but I wonder if staring eyes will drill holes in our backs, especially at American-heavy hotels. I have a free night certificate that will expire soon.

Yes I have; it depends on the Marriott. I've also stayed at the Le Meridien opposite Patpong, which - now that Marriott and Starwood have merged and mutually recognise the status of each others' members - is very handy as I'm now Platinum with both. Not sure about the holes being drilled but security are bound to look him up and down, and possibly challenge you.

Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Jellybean, I think we need to be referred to as "cultural exchange ambassadors" rather than sex tourists! No one respects local culture and people more than we do. No one celebrates local people and customs as much as we do. No one enjoys and admires countries like we do and of course no one returns frequently to partake of a country and its people as much as we do.

On this occasion TaoR, I am more than happy to be corrected. In fact, in previous years I have been rather partial to some light forms of cor-rec-tion, nothing too heavy, mind you.
So, yes, your suggestion to expunge the term ‘sex tourists’ from the lexicon of this forum and replacing it with ‘cultural exchange ambassador’ has my full support. Now, all we need is for Moses to issue an Executive Order with immediate effect stating:
Executive Order
Henceforth [now there’s a word you don’t hear every day] the use of the term “sex tourist” is banned from this forum. And when I say banned, I mean banned, not temporarily suspended. Got it?
The recommended alternative is, “cultural exchange ambassador”.
Rule breakers will be cor-rec-ted!
Now, let it be so.
Signed
Etc., etc.
;)

Better make use of him quickly before his certificate expires. Over 30 is already pushing it!

It's called "Sell-by date" isn't it?

Re: Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya
Only if the guy is "selling" himself.
