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.

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!

"Henceforth"? Chickens in fourth place?

It took a minute, but it finally sunk in
