>Thailand
Do people go there because they are genuinely interested in the culture, or is it just for beaches/partying/prostitution?
>>
>>1234577
Of course people go there for the culture, and of course people go there for partying and prostitution. That is why Thailand is so overrun with all kinds of tourists; it has something for everyone. You can usually tell who is there for what with a glance though.
>>
>>1234577
I'm going there this summer out of genuine interest in culture. I won't be anywhere near a beach, not the partying type, and have never considered prostitution.
>>
>>1234577
I like both the culture and the ladyboys.

>>1234577
how bout both?
>>
>>1234577
It's not the 2001, the cheap prostitute days are over so if that's what you're going to Thailand for don't waste your time, they'll rip you off.

I think Muay Thai is really interesting and went there to watch some matches. I was even going to do some training myself but when I read a story about a guy getting hit retinas detached I got scared and decided not to. Yes I'm a cowardlyfag.

Define cheap. It's still pretty cheap coming from America, Middle East, and Japan. Hell, part of the reason it's more expensive is the latter two driving up prices.

Meh.

I traveled solo to Bangkok and never had any intention of hooking up with women or prostitutes of any sort.

I was traveling around India, found myself in Kolkata, and realized that a flight to Thailand cost about as much as one to Delhi. Since I'd been to India a number of times but never Southeast Asia, I decided to divert and spend a week in Bangkok.

Prior to going, I never really understood the appeal of Southeast Asia. I still don't, really, but just because somebody is white and single doesn't mean they're a sex tourist.

In fact, I got incredibly annoyed by hookers in Sukhumvit trying to grope me and touch me (there were a bunch near the hostel I was staying at).
>>
>>1234944
Is it dangerous to move around and especially visit prostitutes in Bangladesh?
>>
>>1235036
It's just pretty much impossible to move around without a guide of you don't speak the language.

Watch Whore's Glory on Netflix for a peek into Bangladeshi prostitution.
>>
>>1234944
No, Cambodia is not very accessible.

You'll never see it in Cambodia, it's not as obvious as in other SEA countries because Cambodia is very socially conservative, on the surface anyway. No girls on the street like Pattaya. Just download LINE or WeChat before you arrive and you will be solicited online.

If a guy or group or mates are going there I just assume that's what it's for.
I'm sure the food, ancient buildings, natures and shit are cool but I wouldn't actually go there unless it's with my family as I hold to a particular set of values and don't want people to assume that's what I'm doing.

Yes it is, because it contributes to local economy.

A ladyboy I pay uses the money to buy new windows for her house or to pay local doctor for operation which allows Thailand to develop itself economically.

>>
>>1234577
I'm an oldfag, both in 4chan terms and in human decrepitude terms (sorry to use a term we don't see much around /trv/). I lived in Thailand for a number of years, and visited dozens of times both before and after being based there.

I love the place and always will, despite its heavily touristed nature (in many but nowhere near all, or even most, parts of the country) and its (believe it or not) relatively small seedy underbelly.

Nothing you mention really appeals to me.

>Beaches
I'm not a big beach guy in general--I like a few days in the shade with a book by the water, but I like towns, cities, and history more. Also food, many aspects of culture, and people (I speak Thai fluently and have a number of close Thai friends, which surely helps).

>Parties
I like a few drinks; used to like a lot more than a few. When I was younger I also smoked pot, including in Thailand many times, although I gave it up years ago, and enjoyed some other drugs, although mostly not in Southeast Asia. I indulged comparatively quietly, at local bars and festivals, and with drugs, only behind closed doors. If I got wasted, I typically stayed home to sleep it off so as not to embarrass myself, or got poured into a cab by friends.

I was living in Thailand full-time about the time the Full Moon Party was starting to gain international recognition, and I have always hated it. I have friends from Samui and Phang Ngan, and nobody local who isn't making money off of those tacky, embarrassing barf-fests likes them at all.

As for paid sex, don't care for it. Not for moral reasons--I support legalization and have nothing against prostitutes, or even most of their clients, in general. I can *nearly* understand why people get into that scene, but it's always been a depressing turnoff for me personally.

Most of my many Thaiboo friends, many of whom are expats with Thai wives, are like me. We love Thailand for lots of reasons, but they're not sex or party-related.
>>
>>1236538

>human trafficking
>not ruining people
>>
>>1236648
Not that guy, and don't want to diminish the horrible nature of human trafficking or the psychosocial damage that sex work can do to people, but a really negligible number of the prostitutes that a visiting Westerner would ever encounter in Thailand are trafficking victims.

Trafficking is an undeniable evil, and it's definitely happening in Thailand, as a source, transit, and destination country. But Thai trafficking victims are construction workers or house cleaners in Saudi Arabia, or Burmese kids on fishing boats or in shrimp-processing factories.

There are definitely people that get tricked or coerced into prostitution, but hardly any of them are Thai girls working on Soi Cowboy--no visiting foreigner has met a real sex slave in decades unless he's really gone looking (and shame on him if he has). The hookers that foreigners meet are almost all just girls with limited options who've settled for an unusually shitty job to support their families/feed their kids/get out of Isaan/etc.
>>
>>1236652
This. Plus "trafficking" almost never means kidnapping or coercing. It usually means relatively insignificant violations of immigration and labor law. It's not really different from anons on /trv/ asking about working their way around Europe or Asia on tourist visas.
>>
>>1236652
Hookers in places like Soi Cowboy aren't even "stuck in a shitty job". Or maybe they are, but it's some ordinary lowly paid day job and they hook for extra income. Sure her day job feeds her, but she figured that spreading her legs for foreigners will earn her multiple times more money, and let her buy a shiny new iPhone and whatever else is fashionable.
>>
>>1236673
>Plus "trafficking" almost never means kidnapping or coercing. It usually means relatively insignificant violations of immigration and labor law.
Here I (and the authorities) disagree with you--there is also a ton of illegal labor migration, but that only becomes trafficking if there's an abusive element--if someone winds up doing something they didn't sign up to/don't want to do, or doesn't get paid, or otherwise experiences abusive treatment. That's definitely a real problem in the seafood and construction sectors, among others, and for a fair number of Burmese, Laotian, and Cambodian girls who wind up in brothels without their passports. But they don't wind up in brothels that a Western sex tourist would find.

Labor trafficking is a much, much more pervasive problem than sex trafficking in terms of numbers, all over the world, but because sex trafficking is so horrifying it gets all the attention.

>>1236675
You, like a lot of people, take a rosier view of the subject than I do. I don't think you're entirely wrong; there are absolutely some shallow, materialist party girls among the go-go set, who are in it for "easy money," but I'm convinced they're pretty far outnumbered by women with sad backstories.

I used to be a co-owner of a bar (not a girlie bar, a food and live music joint, but we were open very late, so we got a lot of people who worked at night, from all walks of life, coming in after work) and got to know quite a lot of hooker customers well, on a purely casual/social basis. Lots of baggage and sadness just under the surface for nearly everybody.
>>
>>1236826
I was a papasan. Most girls are doing it to take care of kid, take care of their mom, or both, that work in bars. The new iPhone crowd are the sideliners. Not the full time whores. This set is not mich different than girls looking for sugar daddies, or that seeking arrangement site in the west.
>>
>>1236828
>>1236826
But don't confuse sad story with sad girl, though I know some, for western focused working girls, they are a minority. Most sadness comes from heartbreak, when they truly give their heart to a farang and he leaves her in Thailand with another baby. Especially if she had told her family about him and there are marriage plans. A lot of face lost. But have seen many happy endings, as well. That said, the issues with the sex trade in Thailand are very unlikely to be encountered by a tourist, and the women in question most likely won't be Thai.
>>
>>1236828
Yeah, that sounds about right to me. Also met more than a few who were supporting drunk/addict/chronically unemployed baby daddies or husbands along with everyone else back in Udon Thani. Those were the saddest cases for me.
>>
>>1236645
Do you have any recommendations for places to go with good food? I've heard numerous times street food is great but is there any area in particular that stands out from the rest? Anyone else in this thread who knows of good places to eat is encouraged to answer too
>>
>>1236833
I know about this set, too. Just have the least sympathy for them, because it utter stupidity, and even happens with girls that don't hook. Thai men are pretty shit. Even that is not exclusive, though. I was talking to a Thai exgf of mine who is with a British expat. He used to be physically abusive, but stopped after she left, but she went back to him and they still fight all the time. I asked her why she doesn't leave she said it is because she has bought too much stuff for the home they share, so how can she leave.
>>
>>1236834
Street food is indeed great, and any town of any size will have at least one night market, and probably multiple day markets, that are worth visiting. In Bangkok, the JJ Green Market (adjacent to the famous Chatuchak, inside of which there are also some good daytime food stalls) has some particularly good stands--just find someplace crowded and you will probably be pleased.

That's actually a good rule anywhere and any time--if there is a crowd of locals at any stall or hole in the wall, eat there.

There are some great cooks at a newer, sort of yuppie night market called Asiatique, too, but it's more expensive.

There is some good food in and around Warorot Market in Chiang Mai, too; generally cheaper and arguably better on average than the vendors around the Night Bazaar. Most of the restaurants on and around Tha Phae Road (a backpacker main drag) are nothing special, but there are a couple of good Khao soi joints on the side streets around there (a traditional Northern Thai-Burmese specialty).

Along with the main night markets, any town with a university will have others on or near campus--these tend to be especially cheap and casual, don't get that many foreigners, and may be fun if you are student age.

If you like seafood, that's a place where a lot of beach bungalow type places on the islands really excel. Anywhere where you can get a table in the sand and a fisherman can walk up to you with whatever he's just caught, then hand it to the guy that's going to grill it for you, is worth trying.

It's sort of hard to give very specific advice beyond 'look for crowds of locals.' It's harder to find bad food than to find good food in Thailand in my opinion. Bangkok has the advantage of having people from everywhere in the country living there, so you get the greatest variety of the regional cuisines at your fingertips. (I'm a big fan of Northeastern cooking, and like some Northern stuff as well.)
>>
>>1236846
Nice, thanks you pretty much hit all the cities I was going to visit without even knowing. I'm arriving in Chiangmai then after a few days going to Bangkok then maybe pattaya for seafood or further south along the coast
>>
>>1236852
I would recommend going some ways outside of Pattaya for fresh fish. It's been a long time since Pattaya was a fishing village, so while there are certainly good seafood places there, the fish is from nearby fish markets rather than plucked directly from the Gulf (probably a good thing--Pattaya City has among the grungiest beaches and shorelines in the country) so you lose a lot of the super-freshness that can make Thai seafood so great. And I'm not crazy about the overall food scene in Pattaya; prices are higher and authenticity maybe a bit lower than in smaller nearby towns with smaller tourist markets. Lots of Western food restaurants, though, should you find yourself getting tired of Thai.

I haven't been on the Eastern Seaboard in a number of years, so can't recommend specific places, but I have eaten good fish in towns on the Rayong and Chonburi coasts; perhaps the best fish I ever ate in Thailand, however, was on Ko Chang.

Solo white male. Everybody immediately knew I wasn't a sex tourist because

a) I didn't dress like a bum in shorts, sandles and get drunk in bars by myself.
b) I didn't hang around sex tourist areas or even go into the 'red light' districts.
c) I didn't pick up any prostitutes
d) I didn't hang around any jabroni foreigners who are all there to get drunk and fuck hookers.

Instead I fucked a few amazing looking American, British and Russian girls I met on the beach who went there by themselves. Every farang male I bumped into was chasing that pay for play scene so I cleaned up with other tourists by visibly not being a sex tourist (though I still was). I went on trips with the girls around the country too, and fucked the qt British girl right beside a waterfall it was like out of a movie. I don't understand anybody paying for sex in Thailand unless you're there for gay men wearing makeup with bolt ons because there's so many single foreign girls around in party mode just waiting for you to do something with them. At the same time because you aren't drunk and sitting in a seedy sex district you actually see the culture of the country.

No rabies shot needed https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/thailand

You meet these girls by standing out, for example this is my idea of beachwear: a linen blazer I carry so I can invite girls for lunch to the more fancier (but still cheap compared to where I live) Thai restaurants instead of the rowdy drunk places full of sex tourists and vomiting soccer hooligans, a white oxford shirt or blue, white linen shorts and I go barefoot on the sand carrying my shoes I don't look idiotic in sandals clomping around the city. This is like $150 from Jcrew and $25 for tailoring afterwards to fit you better.

I walk past them on the beach and smile and if they smile back and look approachable (ie: no males around or ring on finger) I offer to take them out for lunch or exchange numbers and call them later that day. There's no magic to it or anything "Hey, you want to get some drinks at the Millennium Hilton Bankok later this afternoon? Call me" <hands number>.

Remember these girls are all there for "adventures" and you are the adventure. You can use a travel companion site too if you wanted, or even go on Tinder while there it's full of girls from Europe usually.

Anyone know of a pharmacy/other means in BKK to acquire Dextroamphetamine (aka Adderall, dexies) or Duramine? I'm guessing somewhere near KSR? Whilst most pharmacies will readily sell you any form of xanax or valium, they are reluctant to hand over anything with "mine" in it.

Note: I have zero interest in illegal street drugs, I only want a few specific pharmaceutical products.

>Whilst most pharmacies will readily sell you any form of xanax or valium,
Not really true anymore; the number of pharmacies that *won't* sell the downers OTC now far outnumbers those that will. Also no Xanax; it's illegal in Thailand. Other benzodiazepines are still around, though.
>they are reluctant to hand over anything with "mine" in it
As far as I know, dexedrine and adderall are both totally illegal, not on the market even with a script, and not legal for import even carrying a script--too close to the street crank that is such a big problem there. It may be possible to talk to a doctor about a Ritalin script, but I'd be really surprised if you could get it OTC.... speed is pretty much the only part of the war on drugs that the authorities take seriously.

If you can't score a Ritalin prescription, you may have to make do with street speed, in which case be super careful. You can't usually buy your way out of a bust with that stuff. Ask a very alert hooker.

I know nothing about steroids or the people who take them. But I do know that it's harder to buy benzos over the counter than it used to be, and the authorities are not friendly to speed.
>>
>>1238481
Oh, and also, just because it is off the shelf, doesn't mean it's legal. OTC benzos, or even the much more common and not at all restricted, practically speaking, OTC antibiotics are both illegal under local law.The law just isn't enforced.

>things that happened in my dreams: the post

>>1238476

Shit, things must have changed a lot, I could get Xanax in any tourist town & a few places in the greasier parts of Bangkok. Never bought dexies there, but Ritalin and Valium were easy to come by just across the border in Yangon (Golden Bell Pharmacy).

Again, no interest in street drugs unless I'm in some Thonglor club with local sluts who are feeding me coke, and that ain't happening this trip...I'd rather be sober for life than sucking dicks in the Bangkok Hilton for just scoring a few shitty yabaa pills.

The reputation it has for those things is the main reason I want to go there; to see what the place is really like behind all that.

I have a deep sympathy for people who see their country and culture lost to tourism. Bit hypocritical of me but I kind of hate that tourism and travel has become so accessible at times.

Yes, human sex trafficking never hurt anyone. Creating a sex economy that tears poor girls away from their families and lives isn't degenerate at all - nope, you're an upstanding human being.

Going Trang tomorrow. Any tips?

Just came back from two weeks in Bangkok and Hua Hin. Man, the number of fat, greasy westerners with teen Thai girls was sickening. Most I saw were over 40 and just repulsive.

Just because you see an older guy with a younger girl doesn't mean she is a hooker or trafficked.

This reminds how at first I thought there was this huge age discrepancy, but then realized, though often around a decade, it wasn't nearly as much as I thought. The men looked older than their age, and the women younger. Bu most men were in their 40s, and mos women in their 30s.

I actually like the atmosphere, the culture, the people, the climate, the temples, the chaos in the city and the calm on the islands... What I don't like or care about is partying, beaches and prostitution.
Still, Thailand is worth a visit every time. I've been going every year for some time..

I go because of the tropical environment and general laidbackness. I dont understand why I have to delve into the culture of a country to be a true tourist. I dont give a fuck about my own countries culture. Never propositioned a prostitute in Thailand or went partying there. Partied in other countries though, but fuck it, I travel to leave the grasp of a society where everybody is watching you and overbearing, and I get to loosen up a little. I can actually talk to folks in the street and laugh. Fuck.

Open your ass and culture will follow.

Just joking, but ladyboys and more relaxed attitude to casual sex CAN and IS part of culture, so why not take the opportunity to indulge in it?

pick one, they just emulate American culture with Chinese manners. obviously there are outliers but that always goes without saying and you'd be retarded to not assume that people take this into account when making hyperbolic generalizations.

I kind of like the idea of the sex tourism side of Thailand, reminds me of when i was younger.

Small town in north Wales where everyone was a miner / labourer / factory worker. Brothels were a completely normal occurence, it wasn't viewed as some super scandalous thing, it was just there, nobody felt the need to hide it, generally a happy relaxed place. Then i left that place and everywhere else i have lived since you would get treated like some weird pervert for doing that. Never been able to get past that issue, why do people fucking care? I have no doubts that if i went on some sex tourism excursion and it was discovered i would probably lose my current job.

>Male 28 UK
