Poppers in Pattaya

[Smiles]

What's a popper?

?? Am I missing something here - what online business agrees to the terms "payment on delivery"?

You never ordered pizza or sushi online at past and made payment to courier?

What's a popper?

A type of food.

To be fair yes now that you say it I have, pizza, BUT that was usually from my local pizza place, who if after delivering their pizza I tried not to pay wouldn't be long in sending round a few large gentlemen to make SURE I did ! But I dont think I've ever encountered any actual online businesses that will deliver to strangers in other cities on a "payment on delivery" basis no - perhaps others have though ?

In Germany, that way of payment (payment on delivery) exists, but it costs extra as the postman has extra work to deal with money and paperwork. But there is a catch: You can open the parcel only after payment, so there could be nothing or worthless stuff to make up the weight in it.

HI own several poppers websites all around the world and it is in Thailand that I really have the weirdest response.

It's simple: poppers is closely related to gay sex, gay sex in Thailand is closely related to prostitution, prostitution is closely related to scams. On gayboysiam there is a warning in Thai not to send money online for services/pornographic pictures or videos/products. I have been hit up by moneyboys to send an online advance payment, but I didn't as I think it's all scam. (The ultimate proof, sending money online and not receiving the service, is missing.)

There are thousands of people in Thailand who think of receiving an online payment and then not delivering and ignoring the complaints or deleting their account as an easy way to make money, and only a few who think of it as an honest business.

...gay sex in Thailand is closely related to prostitution...

No, it isn't. For you maybe, but not for the vast majority of gay Thai guys and gay visitors to Thailand.

We are talking not about postal service, we are talking about delivery by courier in Thailand (at least me) - they promise the same day delivery in Bangkok, so it is courier service. I think payment to courier exists in any country.

What about in Houston?

My boy special once ordered some vitamin drinks and they arrived at my condo and he went down and paid the delivery man in cash.
I suspect it more widely available in Thailand than we realise, maybe because far less Thais have credit cards than Westerners.

Same same Singapore. Whether COD is available depends on the individual seller/vendor, rather than a general policy of the online shopping site hosting the seller/vendor. I think most of us still prefer to pay by credit or debit card as it's more convenient. Compared to other countries, the Monetary Authority of Singapore is quite strict about the issuance of credit cards in order to encourage fiscal responsibility, but debit cards, which deduct directly from existing funds in your bank account, are easy to obtain.
