MooNoi Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 If your in your 20's you can wear shorts and slippers and most thais won't think your a sex tourist..... Bollock's! If you're in your 20's in LOS wearing shorts and slippers you will most definitely be identified as a sex tourist. What else would you be doing there' date=' certainly not working. [/quote'] Sorry Munchie. But don't agree with this. Most tourists in their 20's in LOS wearing shorts and slippers flip-flops are not here primarily for sex and are back-packers or couples in their 20s on a holiday package to somewhere "romantic" and "exotic" ("OOhhh Dazza... isn't it so exotic here... much nicer than the Costa Del Sol! Hey - let's go and get one of those drinks in a coconut!!" "Good idea, Shaz... I want a paper um-ber-ella in mine!" "Oooooo Dazza... I can't wait to get to Foo-Ket tomorrow... its going to be SOOOOOO romantic down there at Patpingpong Beach!") Those sorts. (Will people PLEASE stop calling flip-flops slippers!! Slippers are what you wear with a smoking jacket whilst smoking a pipe in front of a fire! - In Australia we wear Ugg Boots, not slippers. (Unless your over 50). Google it).

YimSiam Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Okay I can't hide it I'm a sex tourist!!! As a friend of mine used to say: I resent being called a sex tourist - I'm a sex traveller! - YimSiam (who you will never spot wearing shorts around Bangkok, but whose decisions to go back to Bangkok - again and again - and to live there - again - are most certainly influenced to some degree by sexpat-style thinking...)

shygye Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Can a Sexpat/Sex Tourist spot a GTG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Can a Sexpat/Sex Tourist spot a GTG! Absolutely, there ar many gtgs on Pattaya beach and they are quite easy to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 My personal opinion is this...they see a farang, assume he is a sex tourist. They see a TG with a farang, they assume she is a hooker...all this until other wise clarified by actually talking to them/us...if they even have to bother at all. Frankly, I think many Thais in general look down on us farangs for a whole magnitude of reasons, sex tourist being just one of them. Hate to say it OH, but 90% probably are sex tourists :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"90% are sex tourists"??? then how come the bars are empty while the planes landing at swampyphoom are full? sexpats may find it hard to believe, but there's more to thailand than nep and pattaya. "they see a farang, assume he is a sex tourist. They see a TG with a farang, they assume she is a hooker"??? maybe 20 years ago but definitely no longer. just shows you don't know many thais yourself and, probably because of low self-esteem, don't like them much either. "I think many Thais in general look down on us farangs"??? indeed, you're a bigot and/or have never met a thai person in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I can put myself in the 10%, I go to thailand for the beaches, pleasent atmosphere, learn a little more thai, socialise, travel around, enjoy the food, buy goods cheaply to take home and generally have a good time. I confess I have been to a massage parlour and BJ bar but thats about it for me. It doesn't mean I take the moral high ground or anything, thats just what I enjoy. Anyhow, LOS has that image (globally) of being a sex tourists paradise, but its like saying that everyone in Holland smokes dope or Everyone in England wears a bowler hat or that all amercians are dumb. Theres a lot more to LOS than messing around with the girls, but I still stand by my statement that the high majority of guys who came to LOS are there for "the pleasures". 90% may be on the high side, but proportionaly its got to be more than any other country in the world. Also you ask why the bars are empty, perhaps the guys are meeting their teeruks. I can also say to you why are the planes mostly full of single men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I value somekind of honesty and if I meet a girl I could be serious with I tell something about my past in the nighlife scene. Something like I spent some time with a bargirl when I was first time in Samui but didn't realize first she was a prostitute. Or that I have visited Pattaya and Bangkok gogo-bars with friends just to see what they are like and don't have need to go there anymore. Some tkae it but others don't. Those who don't probably weren't the perfect match for me anyway so no worries. The prostitution is everywhere in Thailand and over 90 percent of Thai guys fuck hookers so it must be clear we are not that much better either. But when I was younger it was easy to play clueless and they always believed my stories. Even heard some English drunks discussion about me and my companion when I was watching show in Long Gun that "that couple must be here just for the show. Must be fun for a young guy to take a normal girl to a gogo-bar" or something like that. I had just barfined her from Dollhouse an hour earlier but she was dressed very nice and looked pretty innocent and whiteskinned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatRai Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Every, and I repeat every Thai (male, female) I met always asks: "You work in Bangkok sir?". For some reason or the other they always think I am there for business , not knowing that I am just one of the naughty, naughty boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
