Wisdom there! Although, most guys will listen to their dicks more than the experience of other guys. Especially in the Western world, there is only two cents' difference between the two brands of women. And the non-pro is more expensive over time. Think about it.
Whenever I travel, I am always amazed at the differences I encounter. However, I would never have imagined an entire country so open to prostitution. http://www.thailandguru.com/thai-girlfriends-ladies-women-prostitutes.html
Prostituion is a major, very major part of the GDP so it can't be hindered. There is a difference between prostitues and non prostituts, but there's no difference between a prostitute who loves you for your money, and a non prostitute who loves you for your money. How many non prostitues in the US love a man for his money? Here's the deal. If your 58, and an 18 year old attractive girl is very interested in you, then she's not, she wants your money. That's the same in every country. In poor countries like Thailand, a 20,000 dollar a year retirement makes you a rich person, so most men from the west who aren't used to being preyed on by money hungry attractive young women, will be victims. Yes, they will take all your money, and yes, they will easily have you killed. I know an older man from Norway who informed his wife that his pension was being cut, and he could no longer give her money. He died a week later. And no, the police don't investigate it. There is a dark side here, that's darker than what most westerners have even experienced, but that goes for any poor developing country. Best way to stay out of trouble, is to pretend like you don't have any money.
No you cannot trade from there, latency will suck big time, I am guessing 300ms to NYC. The above info applies to real traders only.
Far from the truth real trader. Perhaps you could say " The above info applies to scalpers only", that may be true but I wouldn't know since I don't scalp. Don't assume other people trade like you. My laptop has been functional around the globe, but then, I am not looking for just a few points or pips.
The dark side: Suicides: http://us.asiancorrespondent.com/th...es-to-2-an-hour-happiness-index-keeps-tanking A popular suicide method appears to be jumping from balconies, most falls are probably accidental, like this guy: http://teakdoor.com/thailand-and-asia-news/41961-drunken-belgian-man-dies-third-floor.html but many are murders that are reported as suicide or accident by lazy and incompetent Thai police to keep their stats down. One reported suicide was that of a foreigner who supposedly leaped from a balcony with his hands tied behind his back and a stocking over his head. In light of that one must question what really happened to David Carradine over there: http://www.bittenandbound.com/2009/06/07/david-carradine-death-hanging-photo-published/ Murders (Thailand's homicide rate is much higher than the US BTW): http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...t-warn-of-the-dangers-faced-there-769640.html Looks like they're even using cyanide over there: http://www.topix.com/forum/world/united-kingdom/TJPLOVVBFAJH2P186 Make sure you keep an eye on your beer: http://www.cdnn.info/news/travel/t080428.html More good news: CDNN RELATED NEWS THAILAND - Diving accident kills Pattaya tourist THAILAND - Two expat women sexually attacked in Phuket THAILAND - Phuket murder, missing Brit cases puzzle police THAILAND - Two female tourists die mysteriously at same Koh Phi Phi resort THAILAND - Widow of murdered tourist returns to UK THAILAND - Fishermen find body of murdered British tourist THAILAND - Pirates attack, kills British yachtie near Koh Dong THAILAND - Canadian businessman gunned down in Phuket THAILAND - Crippled UK diver warns tourists not to visit Thailand THAILAND - Thai man arrested, charged with murdering tourists THAILAND - Police double reward for capture of Thailand tourist killer THAILAND - Game show winner helping to track down tourist killer THAILAND - Tour guide key suspect in Thailand tourist murder case THAILAND - $3k reward for capture of gunman who killed tourists THAILAND - Two female tourists shot dead on Thailand resort beach THAILAND - Murder in Thailand: another tourist shot dead THAILAND - Thai men who raped, killed British tourist escape death THAILAND - Paradise lost: Another tourist raped at Thailand resort island THAILAND - Increasing violence against tourists threatens Thailand's tourism industry THAILAND - Thai killers get death sentence for murdering tourist THAILAND - Warning: Do not kiss your transvestite hooker on the mouth THAILAND - British bar owner confesses to brutally killing his girlfriend THAILAND - Canadian seeks answers in brutal murder of fiancee THAILAND - Popular scuba diving instructor brutually murdered in Pattaya
I was there when I was single, and on business. While I enjoyed my time there, I would never live there with my two young daughters. In fact, I can't think of any third world county I would raise a family in, just stick to the old US. But, if you are single and know a few folks around, you would have a blast in Pattaya. A few of my friends from the gambling industry now reside there, and would be happy to show the area to those who have never been.
I will be honest about one part of my life. It certainly seems easier to date in Pattaya. I am not a young guy like you fellows in NYC and Im sure you can do better then this. I just take what I can get in my old age. I know my abilities quite well and there is not a chance in hell that I can get this over there in NY. Maybe you guys are better that game of women then me. You have to understand, I am a guy who goes for personality over looks.
Dont worry man, you will get there one day yourself. Its not a matter of if, but when. I wouldnt joke about it because it will only make it worse for yourself when you get to that point in life. In regards to social diseases, I agree there are lots of it around NYC and more so then any other place in the world (except for a few African countries). I know more then 100,000 New Yorkers have HIV. There is nothing I can say that hasnt already been said about HIV in NYC. Just wear a condom. In regards to Thailand, it sure isnt quite as high as NYC, but I always use protection just like you should too http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/ah/ah.shtml
