spoon Posted August 2 Posted August 2 4 hours ago, a-447 said: But it is impolite to throw money - or anything, for that matter - at people. I remember a night in BBB in Pattaya when a Japanese guy did the same as the guys were lined up on stage. Being Japanese, he should have known better. There was an unseemly scramble among the boys to pick up as much as they could. Lots of yelling, pushing and shoving. I thought it was demeaning, but then, maybe that's just me and my Japanese upbringing. Not sure if there is distinction in the way it was thrown? A bundle of money thrown to make it raining baht maybe less rude than crumpling each notes like a ball and throwing it one by one vinapu 1 Quote

To add to this thai baht notes has their king's potrait printed on it. To have it crumpled and thrown to the floor is outright disrepect. ...and within the ambit of lese-majeste. vinapu 1 Quote

It is crass and demeaning and I've seen Thais do it at Thai-type establishments, usually by the nouveau riche. vinapu 1 Quote
jason1975 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 What if the customer had loaded the $$$ notes into a money gun and shot them into the air? Quote

Even though they always give him money, it's still very awkward. is not awkward , it's very fucking rude. I must say never saw it in Thai bar but did somewhere else on few occasions. Most cruel was in Fes , Morocco and it was done to beggar. Asshole who did it looked local, definitely not European , he was met with angry howls by other locals even if he gave the money. khaolakguy 1 Quote

In Thailand and possibly in other countries when living person, usually monarch or president is on the banknotes or some religious or otherwise revered figure from the past one risks also legal trouble.

khaolakguy Posted August 2 Posted August 2 If you want to give, give with respect for the beneficiary. Otherwise you are demeaning yourself and them by highlighting their need. reader 1 Quote

emiel1981 Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Thanks @ggobkk and @a-447 for the reports of their bar visits and adventures. Really gets me in the mood for my travel to Bangkok and Pattaya in October / November. ggobkk, vinapu and reader 3 Quote
Popular Post a-447 Posted August 3 Popular Post Posted August 3 There used to be a very late night tv show in Japan called "Tekoki karaoke" (masturbation karaoke.) If you scored over 90 for your singing you'd win 1 million yen. A guy stood behind a table while a girl dressed as a nurse or a maid (common fantasies in Japan) knelt down and jerked him off while he sang. He was scored on the quality of his singing, which usually deteriorated when he was getting close to cumming. As the guys reached orgasm most would lose it completely, thus affecting their score. You never got to see the wanking itself but they did show the cum spraying all over the place. There was always a close-up of the sometimes rather large puddle on cum on the floor. Unfortunately, the show no longer exists. Only in Japan. https://m.itsmyfetish.com/336098/ Sometimes, as in this example, the guy got through the song without cumming. vaughn, khaolakguy, emiel1981 and 5 others 1 1 6 Quote
ggobkk Posted August 4 Author Posted August 4 I just posted the continuation of my trip in Boy Agencies Osaka Update in the Gay Japan Forum. Hope to return to Thailand before the end of the year. Probably won’t happen and I’ll wait until next spring. So keep the reports, insights, gossip coming. reader and vinapu 1 1 Quote

Japanese entertainment never ceases to amaze me. That never happened when I was taken to karaoke evenings in Japan! I doubt they would have a sexy page boy, or similar, to assist! Quote
