A lot of "white" guys have problems to see their dick...Maybe its like a pencil sharpener, every time you screw some more chiki pooh it gets shorter?

limbo Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 or rather that friggin belly gets in the way, Topcatta. IMO most posters here see their bellybutton rather than their d1ck when they look down nowadays. Yeah, Nok who was 20 yrs old 15 yrs ago now supports a map of Thailand, variations on the amount of provinces on the maps vary wildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Many things: 1. The ?scene? is much much larger than it was 15 years ago. It is much larger now than it was five years ago. Indeed, even during the darkest days of the New Social Order, the scene was growing (so much for the ?quality tourist? theory). Five or six years ago there wasn?t much on the ddd numbered Soi side of Sukhumvit ? no Gullivers and many of the small bars on that side of Sukhumvit did not exist. 2. There are far more tourists visiting Thailand now than 15 years ago ? and that includes many more Farangs in the p4p scene. The relative cost of travel is much lower than it was 15 years ago. Even without making adjustments for inflation, airplane tickets now seem slightly cheaper than 15 years ago. Thailand, for better or worse, is seeing tourists now that it wouldn?t have seen 15 years ago. 3. The scene is more varied than it was. I don?t recall, for example, anything like a Q Bar or Club 87 15 years ago. It is these places ? rather than the go go bars ? that, ironically enough, suffered the most through the new social order. If we don?t see any lunatic efforts to re-initiate these sorts of failed policies, we will see any even more varied and interesting (with more upscale places) places in the future. 4. The BGs are more sophisticated now. They have mobile telephones, and they know how to use them to keep sponsors longer and make their sponsorships more lucrative. I think the combination of new technology and new visitors to the scene reinforce each other in terms of increasing the scope and size of sponsorship. The ready availability of porn has increased the quality of fake BG orgasms tremendously; that probably hasn't hurt sponsorship either. 5. Bangkok, despite itself, is turning into more of an international city. It is not and probably will never be a San Francisco, but there are certainly more Farangs here than before. As Bangkok develops, the gap between Bangkok and up-country Thailand (which is also developing, albeit at a much slower pace) widens. I am not sure how that will work out. You supposedly notice change more when you only visit a place every so often. There are places in the US I go back and visit every few years, and what I notice is that the city where I live ? Bangkok ? seems to have changed much more in those last few years than most places I visit in the US, and this is to be expected given the relative levels of development between Thailand and the US. I not only expect to see more changes, but also an acceleration in the pace of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contrast to the customers 15 years ago? I wonder about that since the farang backpackers have changed so incredible much I dont associate with them at all whereas I used to... Young and stupid seems to be the norm. Making no real contact with Thais and not really interested in Thai culture, I find them behaving quite rude and full of themselves. Plus the fact that ppl travel quick nowadays. One or two nights on an island, 1 on 2 on the next...So time to get to know anyone is not there. This I noticed is getting to the Thais.

Coss Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 "Young and stupid seems to be the norm. Making no real contact with Thais and not really interested in Thai culture," well in 15 years, this is something that hasn't changed IMHO. Apart from getting the obligatory strings around the wrist and going to anything that can be described as a moon party. Backpackers are feckless. Whereas I and my aquaintances are full of feck. and I am also gruntled. Cheers Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
