ADG, you and I have been to Thailand, we know the deal. This trip is not for guys like you and me. This trip is for guys who dont mind paying the little extra to be taken very good care of and have to deal with nothing other than where they are going to stick their cock in. There are people who do like to pay to be taken care of. Some people like all-inclusive resorts, some do not.

My problem with Qon is that he will not disclose his itinerary as any legitimate travel agent would. The only thing he possibly appears to be hiding/protecting is his potentially outlandish rates for the services he is offering.
I kind of assumed that on GFY we were supposed to be providing good advice for other webmasters, not directing them to people who will be shaking them down.
I'm sorry, but $1,500 in Thailand is a lot of money.
Honestly, here is just the first price quote to come up in Google (for flight, accomodations, guide and ground transportation):

I know I can do the same trip with flight and guides included for far less than what Qon is charging simply for accomodations and ground transportation (without being cheap, and having a great experience - probably as good or better than anyone who choses to go with Qon's scheme).
If Qon wants to do webmasters a favor, and still make a decent profit, I have no problem with that. If he wants to gouge people simply by spamming/trolling for suckers on GFY, then I do have a issue with that (as any seasoned traveler should).
If Qon would have ignored me, I would have let things lay after having my initial say, but instead he has decided to turn what appears to me so far to be a scam, into an attack on me, to legitimize his enterprise. Why should I be a party to that?
Anyway, I have better things to do. If Qon wishes to keep calling names and other nonsense, I could care less. It would be better if he would be honest about what his program really is (without the subterfuge).
