Guest FossilGay Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 The "Bangkok" in the billboard is of the same font and colour as Bangkok Bank. 55555 They do say there's one walking ATM landing at Suvanapum every minute! Quote

forky123 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Yes indeed: An opportunity to get as much money out of you as possible while you are there and by doing as little as possible to get it. WELCOME!If you hate it so much, there are other places to go. Personally I find Thailand a bargain. Cheap hotels, cheap travel, cheap drink, cheap food, cheap sex. Do the locals want to make as much money from you as possible? Of course. It's all part of the fun. vinapu and DivineMadman 2 Quote
brall3 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Enthusiast, I have read my post several times and no where did I mention that I hate Thailand. How you got all of that from sharing a photo is beyond me. But as I have written before about comments posted on this board, one starts out with a particular topic and the comments will be about any and everything non-related to the original post. I must admit though, all of this makes for amusing reading. Quote

I must admit though, all of this makes for amusing reading. I think that you screwed it up with your second message: "Yes indeed: An opportunity to get as much money out of you as possible while you are there and by doing as little as possible to get it. WELCOME! " Please name a touristic place that does not try to get as much money they can out of you while doing as little as possible to get it. This even applies perfectly well to most enterprises, businesses. This seems so obvious that you bringing it up gives the feeling that you hold some resentment towards the Land of Smiles. I am a frugal guy, and the reason I come so often to Thailand is that I recognize that it is a good value for the price. So I found myself quite amused reading your posts. forky123 and vinapu 2 Quote

brall3 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 You are so amusing forky123. I am still laughing. Thanks. Keep up the good works!!!! Quote
Alexx Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I am still laughing. Who would have guessed that you're able to have a laugh! You don't come across as a happy camper. Quote

'' You may have your reasons for such a statement but I just had last night world peace discussion with one of Tawan men last night and last thing I 'd say I have any reason to support such a blanket statement, done plenty and only request made was for one more shot on whisky, request gladly met.

bkkmfj2648 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 me too, when are we going to read about all of your interesting and delightful details of your trip?? Quote
vinapu Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Thank you for a kind words gentlemen but vacation first, duties second, specially if trip is short, just 10 days but thanks God things are going well so far with only 1 mild disappointment. Just to add to suspense it looks that I'm firmly anchored at Tawan this trip and it looks that I will be joining chorus of those who think Dreamboys Bangkok are overcharging for what's on offer, last night line up was very Classic like with Twinks galore to a point of indigestion.

forky123 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Sounds like you're having a great time. Only been home 3 weeks and wish I could book a trip back soon. Quote

biguyby Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I do , although not exactly at the moment - ordered therapist did not show up. Sorry to hear of your disappointment today I hope you have a super time (I'm positive you will) and I eagerly await your fascinating reports. Enjoy. Quote
vinapu Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 In this case I don't consider this disappointment, his loss , he knew what to expect so either landed better conditions with somebody else or simply couldn't come. he was absent from the bar that day as well but his collegue made sure he compensated me. I will still off him in the future I hope Quote
