Guest fountainhall Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 This is a question for pong who clearly is much more clued in on some local issues than most farang. I was once a member of thailandout.com. This was a Thai dating/network site but accepted farang. I met a couple of really nice guys from there. Last year that suddenly changed to siamout.com, became 100% Thai and my log-in name and password were no longer valid. There was also a site called dekchai.com which had a continuing series of great photos, as well as chat rooms, one of which was for farang and thais who wished to meet them. This required a Bt. 500 per year membership but had helpful instructions about how to make the payment. It too now seems to be only in Thai. A lot of Thai sites can be accessed via http://www.gthai.net/ Do you know if any of these welcome farang visitors? And if so, barring help from a Thai speaker, how does one enter? Or is it not worth even bothering? Quote
pong Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 thank you for your kind compliment-I will pass them on to best dear friend of 12 years, who helps with most of that. As we know each other for that time there is no real need to peruse those sites, so I am not too familair with them. First some cautious words-also relating the gay mags in another topic. Or about Thai bisnis in general. It opens/close at an alarming rate. One aspect of Thai doing bisnis is that you start too big, expecting an enormous market to turn up without much effort and then get disappointed. You have to cut back expense. if you have lots of prepaid (subscriptions or the like) then you go broke, restart under another but quite similar name and forfeit all those deposits. Travel agents flee with prepaid ticket fees. Better even to sell your bisnis to someone unsuspecting and make more money out of it. Like Head/Heat, or these dating sites. (many seem to be linked to those free give away gay-ad mags-there are more of those in Thai only). If it is worthwhile I cannot say-I do not know your aims with that or criteria. As you most likely also know, most farang use gayromeo or thailovelinks and this seems to work fine enough for them. A new one on the block is moke69.com-quite more brazen open as most others-for me surprising that it is not censored. Dekchai (=child/male, thus ''boy'') is dexchai or dekchai69. From what I saw you can subscribe for free with limited package (dont know if you then can see the pix of those you may be interested in) or pay normal or VIP-450 THB/6 month. Noone will bar farang-as long as you either pay and/or are able to use and read the Thai script. I have noted that in other countries many of these sites also ''rob'' from one another and I really do not know if that also applies to these. I guess the best answer will be forthcoming by posting this as a general Q on the general board of gthai.net. But again then you need to find a Thai friend to write it for you-and later to read the response. Quote
