Anybody go to Thailand... NOT for sex?
 

Most of what I've read here are people go there for cheap living and lots of sex. That's fine, but a few questions came to mind...

Does anybody live there just to enjoy life? I wonder what's that like, and how you deal with the Visa.

How about just to travel, anybody go there just to vacation as a couple or something?

I've been there with my wife. A lot of parts reminds us of the Philippines. I particularly enjoyed the temples, open river markets, and the FOOD. Thai cuisine is amazing. Also, clothing and food there is cheaper than in the Philippines. My wife keeps bugging me for us to go back. Maybe for Christmas, I'm not sure.

Thai cuisine is amazing????

Dude, I've seen you on here for years. I even made a picture just for you. (see below) I like you. I'll even hire your services one day, But You're OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND IF YOU LIKE THAI FOOD! Thai food is shit. Same as Chinese food. I've proved this on GFY time and time again. The further south you go in Asia the worse the food gets. Southeast asia is the worst.

You're nuts. Thai food is fucking great. Chinese is not so good, but Thai food is amazing.

yoshinoya, now thats, fine cuisine. ;)

lol i cant help but point at the irony of discussing food while wearing a yoshinoya shirt!

Hahaha, Yoshinoya. For the price of some gyudon you could enjoy a pretty big feast in Thailand.

I am not particularly a fan of any Asian cuisine, however Thai is certainly one of the better in my opinion.

I took that while at my Day job. Well day/night job. I don't mind the uniform, it's the hairnets I hate.

And all you retards are stupid. Thai food is shit. Good ol' American Japanese food is da bomb!! I especially am quite fond of the Beef AND chicken COMBO!!! (No veggies, and no skin on the chicken)

Exactly my point. You live where? Australia? No wonder. The FURTHER SOUTH YOU GO, the Worse the food is. Australia sucks South East Asia's little rice DICK!

Exactly, bro. Good Pad Thai and Tom Yum Goom(sp?) = sublime!

Redshoe, if you're near Hollywood, I suggest you try Thai Barbeque--the beef satay and pad thai will change your view of Thai food, bro. Good stuff.

:1orglaugh:1orglaughThanks, Redshoe. I'll add this to my fansign collection :thumbsup

MMMM MM MMMMM. This puke looks good.

I especially like their restaurants. Plenty of ample seating and the view is nice.

Check it, you get your own vomit bag for when you're done.

And no, this isn't canned dog food, it's actual Thai food.

And the ever popular, grilled Duck Beak.

Maybe I just need to give it another shot.







....NOT!
I think this one is called Thai Fried Surprise. it's a pretty simple recipe, you just fry anything that crawls across the kitchen floor (or counters)

My friends went there a couple months to train muai thai, he has so many stories about the country... sounds like an awesome time.

Ok.. you know what.. for YOU... I'll try it again, however, I've had it a dozen times and I just can't stomach, the smeel, the texture or the taste, and I eat Asian cuisine maybe once a week. I just avoid Thai food like a whore avoids a 9-5 job. That being said, I'll never in MY LIFE EVER AGAIN.. EVER.. AGAIN.. get hungry in Hollywood. Hollywood is soooo fucking dirty. I'll eat Thai food, but in West Hollywood, or North hollywood. Never in Hollywood. Not ... ever... again. (and yes, I used to live there.)

I am living in Thailand and I am here not for sex:)
It's just great place to live in winter season. I rent big house which I can't do in Russia (cuz very expensive). I like this place:)

i was there a couple months back, not for sex .. expect to find it as a shit hole when u come from Japan =p

man, i'm guessing u had some bad experiences. but i can assure u, food in ACTUAL thai restaurants are so good u will never forget them.
Even in the road side stalls, as long as you know what stuffs to choose u'll not go wrong. Food in S-E-Asia is nice, especially in malaysia and singapore where u can get crusines from all over the world.

There's a few restaurants i have in mind that I can introduce you to in malaysia/singapore IF you ever try to step out of ur perceived "bad food in SEAsia" thinking.

BTW, There's a point i'd like to make, that is in USA/CANADA, SO CALLED CHINESE FOOD IS NOT ACTUAL CHINESE FOOD! I've been there and done it. so yeah, its not chinese food. for some real chinese restaurants, go to malaysia or singapore. Don't understand how those food gets categorised as chinese. those are food meant for rats.

Probably that's the case for thai food too, and that's why you had some bad experiences. Try it originally from the source, not some repackaged and remodelled exported food that originated from some US factory.

Thai food, and SE-Asian food is good. :)

I was traveling around asia last summer. And yes, Thai food is FUCKING GREAT! Indonesian food is good too. Not as good as Japanese (my favorite) but still very good... MMmmmmmm. I miss it a lot.

Oh, as far as places to go and not to go.. say away from BKK, Pataya..
Go to Samui, Phi-Phi and maybe Phuket. Go North if you want to see lots of temples.. go to Cambodia, lao.. stay the fuck away from Vietnam.

Thailand is a beautiful country.

The temples, the islands, the food, the jungle.

That is what i enjoyed about Thailand.

So South East Asian food is good because you can eat food that's not South East Asian? Good logic Shit for brains.

I enjoy Thailand for many things, yes girls for sure, BUT there is lots of others, cheap travel around the country, nice resorts, beautiful beaches, AMAZING food!!! (thats why i'm fatter now than ever), and very awesome nightlife. :)

manila was even more of a shithole than phnom penh.. and there's guards with shotguns and machine guns at every ATM and hotel, all over the place.. biggest dump i've ever been to, although i havent been to Nepal or India yet...

Thailand has world class diving and nightlife. It's not just about sex, though stats say 1 out of 5 tourists that come to Thailand is a sex tourist.

The beaches are beautiful, plenty of activities if you are an outdoors type. Easy to come here and not deal with the sex scene. Though cheap, hot, young pussy really helps this place look that much better.

What's wrong with Vietnam? I am going to visit Vietnam soon.

u took this out of context buddy, he's been in Japan, no arguing that coming from Japan and Hong Kong to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok is going to be a let down in some ways. Same with Manila.

I personally think metro wise, Bangkok is nicer than Manila save for the fact that I can't stand it since I don't speak Thai.

I have been there just to travel. I went first to spend some time in Bangkok and then flew to Phuket to relax for a few weeks.

Thailand is amazing.

I heard Thailand I think about a naked ladyboy :)

I hear it is awesome for medical tourism.

if you had peas for brains u'll understand that SEAsian food is great, and u can still get crusines from other places.

Too bad you don't so ya don't understand.

koh samui for part of my honeymoon, we rented this villa on the beach with a chef and maid service plus a driver for a week and just relaxed. And it was cheaper then our onsen stay in Japan for 4 nights (izu biwa) and cheaper then shangri la in singapore for a week.

Plus it was beautiful there. Thai massage every morning on the beach in a little hut with my wife for $10 (no happy ending) and a lot of just relaxing :)

That's pretty much me every day, but I get happy endings and creampies.

Just out of curiousity DWB, aren't you ever worried to here knock knock knock on your door?

That's some good stuff to hear!

WTF The is a crusines?

The sex with extremely hot girls 18-21 is a plus, but I'm really here to enjoy life and take it easy. Life here is extremely laid back if you let it be.

Yeah, exactly. I was telling my wife I'd like to check out Vietnam or Angkor Wat. I've had Vietnamese cuisine--some good stuff like pho and imperial rolls (clear wrapper egg roll). Then swing back to Thailand for some good food. Nothing like authentic Thai cuisine.

Nice, what part of Thailand are you in?

Do you know where the Jumbo Clown Room on Hollywood Blvd is? Try the Thai restaurant right next door to it, (if it's still there). Amazing food and the waitresses are fucking hot. Always packed. I used to eat there all the time when I had my office in Crossroads of the World.

Fiance and I are thinking of going to Phuket for our honeymoon.

Thailand is the perfect place to relax. As for going there without the sex, well that might be easier said than done. If going as a couple, make sure your wife or girlfriend has a high tolerance threshold before entering danger zones. Thailand has been responsible for the destruction of many happy relationships.

I came out here the first time almost 11 years ago as a tourist for all of the reasons guys usually come out here. I fell in love with not only the women, but the culture, the people, the food, the weather, I could go on and on. I've now lived here half the year for almost 3 years and love it. I'm marrying a Thai woman in January.

As for the visa situation, coming here as a tourist isn't a problem. You get a visa on arrival for 30 days. Longer visas either have to be arranged with the embassy or you can leave the country and come back in and get another 30 days. I think the new rules say you can only do this once or twice now. I am now on a retirement visa, since I qualified a year ago at the age of 50. Otherwise you need a work permit to stay in the country for any length of time or you can marry a Thai and stay.

This is a great place to visit and a better place to stay. It's a great place to come as a couple. The one piece of advice I would give you is to spend more time in Bangkok then your travel agent suggests. It's the best city in the world in my opinion. And there are many other great spots to visit, the islands, the north, etc.

If you want more information on Thailand feel free to hit me up. I'm well connected here and I enjoy helping others enjoy this great place.

I think the only reason why a man would go to Thailand is for sex. Men are motivated mainly by the pursuit of pussy, it's what drives him to wake up in the morning to go to work. There is no other reason for a man to go to Thailand besides sex...

Went honeymone there. It is perfect. You will relax - eat sea food for very cheap.
I want to go again :)

Sorry Shoe, but I have to disagree... because Thai food is the shit!

We need to hook up and head to this spot over by UCLA with all the hot AZN babes and thai food. You'll change your mind, or at least you will be temporarily tricked into thinking the food is good when you are surrounded by hot 20 year old college AZNs.


Now, on the other hand, I don't get the fascination with Thai bar girls. They are the worst of Asia. WTF?

G'ddamn Bausch. I taught you well. :thumbsup

Never been to Philippines? :)

uh, wrong. there is a fuckload of great things to do and see in Thailand. and all of s.e. asia. none of them involving fucking prosititutes. have you ever been there? i didn't think so.

I know there are lots of incredible tourist attractions in Thailand such as the temples for example... but I think a lot of men, not ALL but A LOT do go to Thailand for sex... Even Pornwolf agrees. It's known as a sex vacation destination even though I am sure Thailand has a lot more to offer...

I haven't been to Thailand but I've been to the Netherlands and I know the Netherlands has a lot of great things to do; you could visit the Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum, take cool boat trips in the canal, check out the windmills, tulips, quaint little towns. But when guys go to Amsterdam the first thing that pops in my head is they are going there for the "Red Light District".... I can't help but think that.
