Respect. You’re too modest to claim but you irrefutably have it down to an art, a complex and nuanced cut above, and actually don’t need to read or report on 💸for 🍆

I like gym-built guys, physique competitors but ripped competition shape not needed. There have been very useful clues on this forum about accessing that breed of hire-ables. Cost is not an issue but it’s helpful to know what is unfair to them or unnecessarily exorbitant for me. I have no interest in musculoskeletal massage be it amateurish or professional. I’m not known for stream of consciousness and prefer crystalline clarity (😏😉) but I will reach out prn according to your kind invitation. I like your creative writing style and play on words is always fun. I think the secondary ‘glossary’ aspect will be manageable thru communication. Imma def track your historical content before long. My trip is 4th quarter. I hadn’t actually intended to add so much volume on transit inquiry.

Okey-dokey, grasping the reason for the name given to the transit pass. Frith help us.

My last London was Oyster card some years ago. These new systems seem almost dystopian. I’m going to figure out my MRT and BTS needs and have my lodging hosts walk me thru card purchases at the BTS station where they will meet me, a few steps from the lodgings. To sum up the first trip though: a single ticket for airport train, right? Then switch to BTS system, within which I need to make a transfer, with new ticket booth payment at Phaya Thai and will need to go from one BTS line to another BTS line at Siam. (I only first need the red line rail link trip downtown-bound) At the point of ticket purchase at Phaya Thai communicate the final BTS destination, right? At the within-BTS transfer point at Siam it’s just like any major city Metro line transfer, right? No second BTS purchase, correct?

Imma cruise right thru without breaking composure or a sweat and ain’t nobody gonna know. https://giphy.com/clips/topgun-top-gun-maverick-2021-zdoEnwt1jTlsyYrM3g

Right, a “session” means exclusively one invariant single or 2-tier priced erotic experience. The provider, never the punter, launches the communication about the price. The punter never opens the cost discussion other than in interrogative format, but his reactivity may adjust the price. The session’s 2-tier constituent elements mirror, for example, the 2-tier price hierarchy of the same venue’s local brew vs premium imported beer. Lock in this rigidity and you will do just fine. Never ever dare to reveal an idea that contradicts the playbook. Obviously, no topic is discussed in perpetuity because its underpinnings may be unsubstantial. Obviously. In this case they are rock solid and the endless referencing is geared to herd consistency, to assuage anxiety and prevent nervous breakdowns at the ATM. You simply look at the drinks card or inquire about prices and that’s all there is to that. That the session provider, in contrast, may err in reflecting the invariant session price card simply illustrates that it is incumbent upon the punter to pursue the broadly understood and consensus-driven invariant tier-based price. To do otherwise, to deviate from the operational manual irrespective of reciprocal provider-punter flexibility capacity, is to upset a very precarious interpersonal transactional system. Kiss, suck, fuck, cum in that order in the same way you’d drink your brew in four successive swigs. Cum is premium. Any AASECT clinical fellow worth their salt will corroborate that sex is sex; it is one circumscribed phenomenon and defies the notion of partializing. (Not.) Oh and try not to get too caught up in the absurdly referenced tier-based price differential that springs from nationality. You can bet your bottom dollar that this talking point will emerge again before long, if not in this thread wait for it. You may go broke in one deviation direction or, on the opposite path, leave escorted and handcuffed in a shuffle of shame. Adhere to the above. My own response, as follows below, to the obligatory oligarchical nature of these directives is but idiosyncratic and irrelevant. Thank Cristo Redentor I discovered this forum well after having visited Brazil multiple times spared run-ins with bossypants myopic Waystar Royco circus clowns pacing endlessly in the same circle. And you might be surprised at the true relation between temporal length of experience and legitimacy and merit of guidance specific to trade compensation. Do what works for you, bottom line. That it’s tailored to you doesn’t connote superiority. The only claim that can be made is that fluidity may trump the rigidity of arbitrary dictatorial edicts. There are lines that you can colour outside of without stampeding the horses. How you do it won’t impact on my experiences. This is all just an open discussion of principles related to transactional structure and autonomy. FullSizeRender.MOV

Plus the internet opened up a flood of info on global reference comparators, sex tourism, etc, schooling trade providers that their punters of lore were skinflint liars suppressing the true objective value of a trick. 😏 Considering Ingrid died on the birthing straw, pushing out Rose at the height of the Great Depression, this may call for an IRS review, however one may blanche at the thought.

Sorry, I’m not trying to be difficult. What you are suggesting seems impossible. I get on at one BTS by scanning my Mastercard. I get off at a distance that is mapped to a variable charge according to the number of stations travelled. I scan my Mastercard in the train so the door opens to allow me out. My credit card’s brain calculates and pays the charge? How does my credit card’s internal coding do that?! I would think that only a transit fare card can do that math. A credit card only functions by paying for a commodity whose value is established at checkout. Anyway, not to worry. It will all work out as you say. I’ll eventually climb up closer to the insider mastery dimension of consciousness.

What card ???!!! Are you referring to my credit card or a purchased fare card? I’m over 60. Isn’t it half price if you line up at the customer wicket? Can I not just buy a batch of single ride tickets in one fell swoop? Wouldn’t it be impossible to get half price from a machine that is clueless about your age? Wouldn’t, say, a handful of 20 tickets from the wicket be valid going forward over 2 weeks. One queue aggravation up front but obviated subsequently? Too simple? How does half price function given that distance dictates a single ride cost and scanning is both entry and exit? Does this mean you can only buy one wicket ticket at a time because you tell the cashier your exit station? Just curious. The age cost savings is not important. Sounds like the easiest method is a loaded fare card whose brain will figure out the correct ride option each time. I just confirmed I have hosts meeting me in town so I likely just need to figure out getting to their BTS station from the airport and they can assist me on the spot figuring out the next steps for ongoing transit use.

Hahahaha exactly. What did OP’s Romeo dialogue mean? He’s on his Silom balcony pining for a hot guy down below the trellis, or he’s using the Planet App, and it’s over the airwaves not Elizabethan Verona? and is it Romeo or its Hunqz counterpart? It is the east and Juliet is the Sun? Mamasan sun? And is sun Tawan? It all takes place at the sun and is hot? And are the star-crossed lovers in regular garb, drag, or is it the Tawan leather whips and chains venue? If I say to my sister, “maybe you’d like some Romeo dialogue on your Alaskan cruise?” she second-guesses that as a Bard reference to scoring a lay, or as being on pointe set to Prokofiev.

I’ll take transit. It’s not a matter of cost. I’m a Luddite. By contactless do you mean I would scan my credit card at the turnstile in the same way as scanning the cashier doo-dad at Tim Horton’s? I am skeptical because the turnstile scanner defies typing in the appropriate charge. Or do you mean first patching those options to my phone screen and using my phone up against the turnstile scanner (which I have yet to set up on my phone). Frankly, I don’t like trying to manage my phone out when my hands are full.

Please briefly (or unbriefly) remind us of the name and location of this firmly held breakfast sausage location. I’m extracting that it’s the Foodland also mentioned elsewhere. More seriously, I cannot always figure out the actual name of dining and club venues described here in this thread. Sometimes the location is alluded to with references that a very BKK-experienced punter can identify but a newbie is left unsuccessfully trying to put it together with whatever clues provided. Posts are useful if audience targeted includes both insiders and outsiders. The fact that there is so much change in the scene over time and due to the pandemic adds to the confusion. Example, James Beard listed restaurant. Or a club where people from other specifically named clubs happen to be present, but what is the name of the actual place this scene is going down. It would take too long for me to go back and pull out snipped passages, so that’s OK. Just please going forward always identify a place when discussed. The artistic licence is fine, and fun. But please just take an additional few seconds to render the rapidly changing chessboard of any given day’s outing. Please don’t get me wrong. There’s nevertheless a plethora of useful content here. Who’d have thunk a currency note could stand in for a napkin wicking off the sweat of a cold drink? 😏

Dialogue with fellow as in Romeo the Planet or it’s romantically the East and your Juliet the Sun? I think the app perchance?

‘Bits’ used colloquially, albeit USD-centric, and with illustrative license to simply underscore that gorjeta burdens we undertake are typically symbolically picayune for us in that context. Not intended as a guide. Ink and an arse wax, 2 bits? Não. Counterbalance to bits the playbook of some:

I’ll depart from Canada with some USD and THB so that I have a few purchase mode options the first day and for backup/reserve throughout. I don’t get too bent out of shape about exchange rates for a single trip wherein I am supporting my cash-only financial needs for merely a few weeks. In the last 9 years with much international travel I haven’t used one single cash currency exchange outlet abroad but, if pressed, I would be more inclined to just suck up the rate than research an alternative. However, where credit card payment is not feasible, I do prefer to regularly obtain local cash stashes through bank ATMs using Mastercard or Visa patched through to my chequing accounts, for ‘entertainment’ purposes. I pay exchange but no interest. The most important aspect is reliability of ATM utilization. I imagine for Bangkok this is a good bet, right? Europe is fine. Brazil is very touch-and-go; you often touch commands and go empty-handed. My all-time failure record is 13 ATMs spread across 4 separate bank locations and 3 bank institutions, for one single cash withdrawal goal to cover a night out. There are a few failsafe options, if in the neighbourhood they exist, to ensure a bundle for extended coverage.

Enjoyable report. Newbie questions: I am fairly fit but how exaggerated is the 1-mile walk from gate (arrival from Doha) to immigration clearance? I plan the rail link and BTS connections to get into town. Is there a baggage restriction? I’ll have one legal cabin size and one duffel-type bag adhering to conventional weight/size for plane hold stowage. Both pieces have wheels to offset weight bearing. The OP alluded to a threshold of luggage type restriction on the public transit. Immigration seems reasonably close to the Metro station. I’d be embarking around 07:30 of a weekday morning, probably hitting rush hour at the BTS points. I think there is a not uncomplicated ticket system for this plan called “rabbit”? I have plenty of time to look into it.

IMO “gerontocracy” is also semantically ambiguous and defies one reductionist meaning but don’t get me started, don’t even get a befuddled aging guy started, let alone someone less befuddled, be they head of state or not, rolling in their grave.

Sheesh. I do have something to say about paradox. Irrespective of the very questionable legitimacy of your example, your example describes a dilemma not a paradox. A paradox might be something like the assertion that all thread post contributions have merit because no post contributions lack merit. Or let’s say you yourself instruct the reader to not pay any attention to you. You dissed the Russia example, the content of which is actually paradoxical as opposed to a dilemma because a situation with only one possible side is inherently untenable. It was rendered succinctly and beautifully. The writer had everything to say about the American situation because the contrast and polarity track.

A tiny bit of cash goes a long way. It covers a broad range of service dynamics. Broken down at the get go: 2 bits to an attendant to acknowledge paltry pay and rote mind-numbing routine day after day; 2 bits to later situationally ask for assistance if needed for an unusual issue (eg, misplaced item) from an attendant you had overtly acknowledged as having been ‘seen’ according to the above, or for a touch of favouritism navigating that day’s spa outing; 2 bits for their contribution to your prerogative to transcend the restricting option of routinely mind-numbingly jacking off to porn at home thousands of clicks away; and for good measure, 2 bits as prophylaxis against the outrageous behavioural phenomenon of a gratuity overtly solicited because the concept and principle of equity may have simply slipped your mind when the little head took the reins. That’s a lot of coverage for the cost equivalency of a rubber.

… But unfortunately late to the party viz vaccination deployment. In contrast, ANVISA authorized Tecovirimat early Sept, very quickly based on FDA’s 2018 greenlight. The 2022 USA clinical trial’s protocol re: lag from illness onset to initial dose would be consistent with the window within which an individual’s infection morbidity commenced in August. Again, timing is everything, and this line of narrative is no more than speculative.

Hell no to the umpteenth no. Ducking out …
