Blazers Returns to Thailand with a Pass 1 2

This will be about 8 or so chapters so this is just chapter one Pre-Board I booked this trip after receiving a credit from a trip that was cancelled in 2019 for a flight in April of 2020...well before Covid. I guess any cancellations during that time were given refunds. It was with Singapore Airlines and at that time last December, nobody was booking flights to Asia as there were quarantines in every country, including Thailand. I decided to book with a cheap upgrade to business class for a May 2022 trip. Just rolled the dice and was lucky. I had to fill out information for a Thailand pass that included insurance, proof of vaccine and some identification. …

Wrapping up a month-long visit here. Unfortunately the first two weeks for spent trying to recover from a cold or Covid. I’m not sure which. But it knocked me out. Damn good thing I got a full month vacation. As for beautiful brown Filipinas, so far, I meant two and in the next five days, I’m going to try to cram in several more. Literally This is a much more conservative country than I thought. But on dating apps, there’s lots of girls, who are not “full-time in the biz” and willing to “go all the way” Haha. So far I’m finding the perfect Barbie doll body type that I like. Mostly under 5 foot 2. Ashley in Ceb…

Been back in Pattaya a few days now. For anybody hesitating on booking just book, Pattaya is still Pattaya. The Thai Pass at the airport literally took less than one minute. Just show QR on phone and go. Soi 6,. Some bars closed but way less customers. I feel sexier than I have in years. Walking Street is still a mess with lots of things closed. LK, almost everything open. TreeTown is the new hopping area. Busy every night. Masks, some areas everybody wears a mask, some almost none. Walking along BR in the evening I never wear a mask, Soi6 no mask. At the condo when inside everybody wears a mask including me. If your a WS guy you'd…

(ca Ma 2017) So first off, I'm a TERRIBLE monger! In preparation for my trip, I did ZERO mongering prep. I basically went in blind, and had only my phone on hotel wifi to research while I was in country. Granted I was with family so getting away to monger was tough, but I managed a little still. My first opportunity was in Beijing. I arrived at the hotel in the evening and got settled. I decided to take a walk and see what was in my neighborhood in terms of shops and nightlife. I wandered for a while through the streets, past strip malls, actual malls, and random shops. Nothing interesting in terms of the shops but I did notice a lot of good looking females…

Pattaya First Visit coming in December
by Jascoi- 23 replies
- 378 views
I'm making my first ever international trip (besides Tijuana) outside the USA in 50 years late this December. Pattaya is my destination on the 28th. thankfully a few friends that I met in Tijuana are also going to be going. I'm both excited and somewhat apprehensive about things and also about the long flights. I haven't flown in almost 20 years. and I have never flown internationally. Even though I've been to the Philippines and Singapore and Hong Kong and Guam and Japan... that was over 50 years ago and my transportation was on a aircraft carrier. this may sound stupid, but my biggest concern right now is trying to figure out how to get to LAX on time for a l…

I am sitting here with the Czar. He is an individual that sold all his worldly possessions and moved to Pattaya on 10-18-22 last yr. He is back in town to see Doctors for his St disability claims. He will be back in Pattaya in 3 days. We are ready to enjoy both MNF games tonight. As he sits next to me he has requested that I show him how to upload his whatsapp photos and share these pics of some of his conquests of the past yr with the site.

Here's just a sampling... and I will give a more detailed report later here... just a sample of some of the little hotties I was able to meet ... I crammed as many Pinas into my schedule as I could in the one week that I was not actually sick... Caught a covid-like bug on the plane... almost 3 weeks in my buddies extra bedroom coughing up my guts. Finally got to see some sights... all around Cebu City, up and down the coast of Cebu Island... Beautiful Alcoy and Tingko Beach.... and to expat haunt Dumaguete.. and here is a look of some of the local talent I was able to get in front of my camera. (you'll notice my AI app fucked a couple of these girls …

I was looking at a flight from BKK to CEB and it routed me through Clark. I'm like WTF. There haven't been CRK-BKK flights since like 2014 when Tiger dropped them. Fucking stoked, flying into mnl and home from BKK with a easy $80 CRK-BKK flights used to be awesome. As far as I can tell it's bookable through Cebu Pacific website now.

Fotofreak goes to Japan!

Long story short, I got to go to Japan for three weeks without any particular schedule or plan. There is no particular organization to all the bits I'm about to spew at you so for our OCD members, I apologize in advance. I don't speak Japanese nor can I read it. @SuperPerro felt like I could probably learn some before I came over (he's over there on an extended work thing) but then I reminded him that I've been going to Mexico regularly for eight years and I still can't speak Spanish and they use a familiar alphabet. I also reminded him of when we were in Costa Rica about ten years ago and I learned how to say, "How much?" in Spanish but was wholly unprepared …

Great info for a Japan visit
by SPARKY- 11 replies

Copied and pasted from another board:- Of interest mostly to guys from the US, as the exchange rate is very good now. UK and OZ much less so, unfortunately. USD = 128 JPY. Was up to 150y last month. Highest in more than 10 years. Books written about travel in Japan. I will give my basic tips. At The Airport. Buy a Japan travel SIM. At Haneda and Narita airports, Bic Camera has little shops that sell the sims, most good for 30 days. No fancy registration, but you have to fiddle with your phone settings. You want that data to help navigate. These sims are Data only, no local phone #. Get a PASSMO train card if you can. Look for a train tick…

Meth-head Monks!!

I came across this story. Apparently the entire cadre of monks at a particular wat in a province in Isaan got the boot from the powers that be. Seems they all tested positive for meth! Now the locals can't make merit. Not good. But, never fear! They're sending in backup monks. You can't make this shit up. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-29/thai-temple-left-empty-after-monks-fail-drug-tests/101713616

I posted a while back that the Philippines is on my to do list, I was “this” close to it happening a few months ago but ended up getting involved with a friend of mine here in the states, it was fun while it lasted but eventually when I realized if I stuck it out with her I’d never see TJ again, let alone any other international destinations similar to TJ I decided her/the relationship wasn’t for me lol that being said I’m now trying to make the Philippines happen again, and after I make it there it’s a tie between Cambodia and India as to where I’ll go next. For some reason that even I can’t explain I’ve low key had a thing for Indian chicks for years now. Mumbai an…

Pattaya Lockdown Tour(March 2020)

Arrived in Pattaya on one of the last flights leaving Myanmar before the new requirement of a test from a physician(would have to be from Myanmar) that demonstrates that I test negative from the coronavirus and/or dont have symptoms. I dont think Myanmar was even testing at that point. As I had to change my flight hours before departure as my Bangkok Airways flight was cancelled from Mandalay, I had no time to book a taxi from Don Meuang. As a result, I was stuck with the taxi mafia. The line at the airport where you get a receipt from a person at the desk for a metered taxi was charging a flat robbery rate of 1,900 baht for everyone(I believe they charge 1,500 fr…

More Memory Lane 1 2

I also ran across an old write up of my first and second trips to Myanmar. It sure brought back some pleasant memories. I'll post it here with the pix I've saved. Just a bit of background. In my pre-foodie days my MO in a foreign country was to grab my camera and wander all over the joint taking pix of the street life and whatever struck my fancy. So, lots of those kinds of pix, hardly any of food. The government had an 11pm curfew. All businesses had to be closed by 11. This was still in effect in '06. It was kind of fun as the bars would lock the front door, and then everybody would be hustled out the back door into some waiting cabs. Everybody would pile in. …

So I'm visiting Japan for the next few weeks. I'm in the northern part of the main island (Aomori area). I did a piss-poor job of planning my extracurricular activities. Now that I'm beyond the reach of Uncle Sam, what websites are available? In particular, I want a massage with the possibility of extras, more of a Kalinca experience than a Mermaids' experience.

Amigos, planning a trip to the land of smiles in the next few months. I haven't quite decided how I want to split my stay between the two Bangkok and Pattaya. Is it possible to just walk in and check into something nice and decent? If I arrive and decide 75 Bankok 25 Pattaya I can easily just leave without worrying about my upfront reservation or not being able to find a decent place to stay the night. Thinking decent as in Grand Hotel and Ticuan, chica friendly also.

I ran into some unexpected money, so I plan to get myself a retirement visa and live in Thailand full time. As far as I know, the main requirements are to demonstrate income and prove you have a place to live. Since I own a condo the second requirement is easy. Anyone here with a Thai retirement visa?

This is from a trip in 2019 but since nobody has been able to travel since March of 2020 to Asia, thought it would be interesting. Ton of info on the sex scene therebut no photos of chicas, just seemed impossible. Chapter One Took an Air Asia flight from Bangkok to Saigon(not going to call it Ho Chi Minh) and it took about 90 minutes, maybe 70 minutes in the air. The airport isnt all that big but the first thing you want to do is to change maybe $200US into Vietnamese Dong. Look around as rates vary and they are better in town but not too drastic of a difference. I priced them all but found Mobifone to have a good rate. 3GB of data(which I used mainly fo…
