How the fuck is thailand dude? Found all the good massage parlors & suck bars yet?

I wanna hear stuff about Thailand too

How much is it to rent a nice apartment there?

How easy is it to get some high-speed net access?

Well guys, from what he's told me... I wouldn't mind moving there. :)

Bangkok seems a bit crazy, but I might like Koh Samui or Koh Panang, but I think the net access there must be shit.

That bad, eh? I had an offer to move to the Philippines. But after much research...if you don't pay attention to what you're doing, cost of business would be the same as US if not higher. Regardless of the 52 to 1 exchange rate.:(

Tell us some stories and post some pictures of the local bugs.

oh, you opened a can of worms...

let's see, my rent in a 5 star hotel (you can rent them as apartments here in LOS [land of smiles]) that in the USA would cost ya 4.5kUSD/month cost me $1k here, daily maid service, 3 level gym with spa, jacuzzi, etc, 3 pools with waterfalls, in the middle of sukhumvit (the beverly hills of bangkok)....

my room service for lunch i order full meal for 1 and it cost me $4.00 plus a 25 cent tip which is actually considered too much for justa delivery boy around here.....

girls? haha it is actually pretty annoying, u ever been to tijuana and see how the guys stand out front of the clubs with fliers asking you to come to their club and the great drinkspecials they have? well it's like this, but with girls trying to pull you into their bar or club to play pool with them/take them home, etc.... if you are so inclined, you can take the hottest one you find home for about 24 hours of anything you want for appx $25....

Or if you are slick like me, you find one(or four) you dont pay for to fuck when you dont feel like going out 'shopping'...

Either way you can be very picky.... take the girls @ like 7pm, have them go barhopping with you for the night, take em home, have your way... wake up, have your way, either send them home, allow them to hang out ... etc... they usually clean your house and do your dishes just because they dont wanna watch Monday Night Football with you haha

Beer here at a bar ranges from 1 dollar per heineken to 3 dollars at high end clubs....

You can go to PantipPlaza(.com) and buy pirated software, windows XP, $5..... Pirated DVDs, $3.... Fake name brnad clothes at MBK Stadium, I bought 10 top name brand (fake) sets of clothes for about $140.... Just as good as the real ones, just not as sturdy, I consider them somewhat disposable by the price....

There's alot of Brits and Aussies out here, not as many americans, and most are middle aged and overweight looking perverts, so when any TG (thai girl) sees a strapping young american they are very quick to try to keep you.... (just another way The Man tries to keep whitey down)....

Did I miss anything?

Oh, no need for a car around here $1 will get you anywhere in a taxi around here.... If you dont want to wait in traffic you hop on a motorbike taxi, and they weave thru traffic like you wouldnt believe, it's quite freakish actually, 50 cents, on one of these maniacs bike gets you anywhere, but you sacrifice your hairdo, and quite possibly your life... hehe

When I get a good camera I will show you pics of the bugs.... They sell them on the side of the road, we ate beetles (with eggs in their asses), crickets, silk worms one night... all BBQ'd... had no taste really.. washed it down with some Singha Gold (thai beer)

=/

Don't get any STDs!

You're in Asia's asshole you know.

Well i know where i'm moving :thumbsup

But heres the real question, do you miss anything about the US yet?

How's the weather, is it humid and hot? How about smog?

K-man check your ICQ

lol SE asia is the best

safer than flip or bali at any rate

Dude, I didn't even mind when you said you ate the bugs, but the eggs part is fucking sick.

Post some pics. :)

Kman, whats the name of the hotel you stay in? they got a website?

I obviously missed the first part of this saga. Did you pull up roots and move to Thailand permanently / semi-permanently?

Sounds like a blast.

kman, what kinda net access you got in that hotel?

LIVE IT BRO... That's what it's all about. I'm single now I may have to check this shit out..:):) Saran wrap the monkey dude, It's dangerous..

Snow

grab some pics

Just got off the phone with K-man he's having a blast
and I have two other friends there he's going to hook up with that live there.

I think I might have to check it out very soon

he actually ran into one of my friends there in a bar crazy
Small world

The CIA says that 2.15% of the Thailand population has HIV/AIDS. Thats kinda scary.

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/...k/geos/th.html

US = 0.61%

Canada = 0.3%

Australia = 0.15%

UK = 0.11%

Here are some crazy bad countries:

Botswana = 35.8% :eek2

Namibia = 19.54% :eek2

South Africa = 19.94% :eek2

Zimbabwe = 25.06% :eek2

more fun facts about Africa?

which african countries have a lower infant mortality rate than Detroit?

Libya, Mauritius, Seychelles

:helpme

Where did you learn that?

lol bought Stupid White Men

:thumbsup

SE asia isnt so bad these days really any country in the world is safer than the US if ur a citizen the prob is asian (flip for example) see americans as easy marks so ur chances of getting shanked increase tenfold :(

I doubt that Libya has a lower infant mortality rate than Detroit.

According to the CIA World Factbook:

Libya's infant mortality rate is 27.9 deaths/1,000 live births

and the US is 6.69 deaths/1,000 live births

somehow I just can't believe that Detroit would have an infant mortality rate that is over 4 times the national average.

well i dont think authors with access to data on this shit make it up, but for the sake of argument Detroit was 14.7% in 2000 it may have gone up it was 15.5 in 1999

childinfo.org lists Libya in 1996 at 17.5

pretty close not hard 2 believe that they have both shifted 4 the worse with GM layoffs + african aid

i mean its michael moore not ann coulter or anything :winkwink:

Last time I read up on it, the WHO (World Health Org) was reporting that 50% of Thai prostitutes were HIV positive - so be careful for sure!

Cheers,
Backov

damn i want to move there.
