Re: Laughing gas balloons
In Bangkok? That is new to me. I have not seen them anywhere here (in Silom, Sukhumvit or Khao San in the last two weeks).
However I remember them from my last two trips to Pattaya, on Walking Street. Yellow Balloons (with a smiley? not sure, but I have a picture somewhere).
Re: Laughing gas balloons
I have seen it at Koh Samet, and well, it is also going on in bars and discos in Europe, you know why? because it is not illegal.
So I don't think it is a trend only in Thailand.
Re: Laughing gas balloons
whilst I've noticed one portable stall selling those balloons on walking street I haven't noticed it anywhere outside of Thailand - other things such as nitrogen laced drinks in clubs etc yes but not helium balloons, so am I missing simething as surely the only purpose of hellium ballon sucking was when you were a kid you did it for fun to make your voice go all high pitched and squeaky for all of about 30 seconds until the effect wore off, so is that "it" ??? or is there some other "high" going on that's not instantly apparent ( which I can't imagine if it's being sold on main street walking street !)
Hell if it's just high pitched squealing you want to hear just don't pay a ladyboy their required tip and you'll hear so much high pitched squealing it would even hurt a dogs ears !! lol
Re: Laughing gas balloons
just a friendly word, NIrish - sometimes you post too much of your personal experiences on the board :occasion9:
Re: Laughing gas balloons
What sucking helium gas from a balloon when you're about 6 ! I really don't think that's sharing too much as come on surely EVERYONE has done that at some point in their lives - SOME people just maybe need to get out more ( JOE!!) :old: lol
Re: Laughing gas balloons
I was referring to your experience with the ladyboy :occasion9:
Re: Laughing gas balloons
Oh :-) .....well in that case I stand by my first ascertain as if you've never had a lady boy go off on you on one for that extra 500 baht they believe they are due ( even you've after you've already given them the 200 baht for the sex) then you haven't lived !
Oh and Christian - yes ladyboys do it for 250 !! I suggest you try that out and let's us know how that works out for you ! :-)
And Joe I am joking of course as I would never short change a ladyboy and the only ladyboys I've ever had screaming was purely in (probably fake) pleasure !!! Opps there's that to much info thing again it seems !!! Lol
Re: Laughing gas balloons
Laughing gas is Nitrous Oxide, the same as dentists give you
and funny cars use (denatured- made poisonous) to increase oxygenation of more volumes of fuel.
Also used as a propellant gas in aerosol cans of whipped cream.
Helium is getting scarce, expensive, and would do precious little.
Re: Laughing gas balloons
Correct Nitrous Oxide not Helium...its actually become quite popular in certain underground club scenes in London and at some outdoor music festival (still legal I 'think'), hence a number of companies selling the small whipped cream gas canisters on the net now.
p.s. Its also been around in Thailand for years...I remember seeing someone selling balloons of Nitrous at a dance festival near Paradise waterfalls on Koh Phangan (that was back in 2001/2002)
