Y'know, if you've got the money you can change at least one aspect of your self-description. You're in Thailand, after all.I'm talking about the "male" aspect, of course.

One day I'm going to be the old white guy who sits in a bar and rambles to strangers about his life. I'm gonna say 2 - 3 years time.

Proto Old White Guy convo I had one time in South East Asia: "Hey Sheep-Goats you ever see those fat fifty year old guys with their pants up around their nipples and they're walking along with a twenty year old bargirl?" "Yeah." "Kinda makes you sick, right?" "Uh..." "Do you think you'll ever be one of those guys?" "What? Do you mean... I mean..." "Because I think I will." "Oh. Well, do you think you'll make yourself sick then?" "Nah. I'll get used to it." This guy was probably in his late thirties. He spoke decent Thai, priced everything in how many hookers he could get for that much money, and is probably taking the bus to Pattaya every weekend to this day.

In fact, every twenty minutes or so you can start to act like you have somewhere else to be and they'll up and buy you another drink! Sometimes they try to take you home, but I just tell them I'm on my period.

I have to admit I find the decrepit 70 year old white men with bargirls a little poignant. It's their last stand! Of course then there's this guy: http://vicemag.tumblr.com/post/32269776354/i-went-to-pattaya-thailand-for-the-sex-i-stayed

Yeah, right now HK has better odds but I'm not gonna say no to a free trip to the Caribbean. The company looks very interesting so if they offer me an excellent salary and if I fall in love with the island, I might end up there. But being surrounded by rich bankers and accountants isn't very appealing (ironic, since my other choice is HK!)

I had an old guy offer to pay for one more night so I would stay another day in that town because he wanted to attempt to talk to me more (for some reason, he'd attempt to speak to me instead of writing stuff down o_O). He was really weird and the hotel was awful so I bailed without guilt. Apparently he took the hotel staff to a Tesco Lotus and bought whatever foodstuff they wanted. He invited me too, but I didn't make it back in time before they left. Probably for the best because I'd feel kind of bad about mooching off someone so desperate for human company

Gail Wynand posted:On that note, I've had several Western women here tell me that certain beaches on Bali are well known as the places to go if you want some hot Asian boy toy action. Better than Pattaya, that's for sure.. When I was in Lombok I met a bunch of Australian women who told me that they were there almost exclusively for the local men. Some of them made several trips a year and hosed as many guys as they could, though some kept a regular rotation going. Unsurprisingly they were all complete bogans, but they were all reasonably attractive.

Is there such a thing as a specialty beer shop in Bangkok? All of the beer I saw there was your generic imports (Heineken, Corona, etc) and domestics. Chang is alright, but the country seemed to be lacking in variety.

It wasn't too long ago that Chang didn't exist. It was just Beer Singa and a few imports. Maybe a bottle of Johnny Red that would last you and your forty friends all night. I used to go to Rot Beeah Tawandeng (lit. The Tawandeng Beer Factory) in Bangkok now and then. It's a brewery with a large drinking space and a stage that often has live music. The beer is pretty good and I mostly used to take Thai people there to show them that every beer isn't a reeking yellow rocket fuel like lager. Its near the intersection of Rama III and Naratiwat which are two huge roads in Bangkok. Take a taxi from somewhere near Silom (or a bus if you're a Sad Old gently caress). http://www.ratebeer.com/p/tawandang-german-brewery-bangkok/3706/ raton fucked around with this message at 15:27 on May 3, 2014 |

The usual suspects. Delirium, Duvel, Westmalle, etc. Give me a good British ale any day. Actually, I just tried the Iron Maiden inspired beer "The Trooper" and it was drat good.

HK no contest, you get GOOOOONZ here and goon meets. Plus we can always hop on an air asia flight to South East Asia. We do have a lurker banker goon. 2 lawyer goons who are pretty cool. I like to poo poo post but I don't think anyone in HK is actually a douche bag in person. Oh and of course we can gossip about other goons in person  Speaking of "those kind of dudes"... I have met one really famous HK goon (he doesn't post in the travel threads) who actually has a really young and pretty girlfriend from South East Asia. Oh and I picked him up drunk at the local sleazy sexpat district and dropped him off home. His girlfriend was really quiet. Man I kind of feel bad for my cousin. She's early thirties but is dating a late fifties French dude. She's top level management at a casino conglomerate in NYC area and he's a top level head chef. They both make mad bank. However everyone assumes her to be a sleazy uneducated prostitute

I'm always shocked that seeing something like this isn't a daily occurrence, but somehow they mostly don't catch on fire. The big thing we get is a bunch of transformers blowing at the start of rainy season. I dunno if they're cheaply made or if it's bird nests or whatever, but at the start of rainy season you get a shitload of blown transformers. EDIT: So which one of you jerks caused the earthquake in Northern Thailand today? I'm betting on Mothra, but it could go either way.
