  1. Do we pay to have sex in Thailand?
  2. +1 Xone and other exchanges are fastidious about condition. It will be rejected if it has any extraneous marks or other defects. You won’t be subject to double exchange rate because it’s one currency to THB. But one dollar notes get slightly lower exchange rate than USD 100 notes. Whether they’ll accept the notes entirely at their discretion. The quantity you wish to exchange may also affect their decision because there’s not a big demand for small denomination foreign currency. it may turn out to be more of a headache than worth it.
  3. Found photos of the Blue Temple extraordinary, especially compared to the more frequent white.
  4. From VN Express The Ministry of Education and Training held a workshop on Wednesday to collect feedback on the draft national scheme designed to gradually introduce English as a second language in schools nationwide. The scheme, spanning from 2025 to 2035 with a vision extending to 2045, is being piloted in selected universities and schools. In his speech, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong underscored the importance of learning from international experiences to tailor solutions that fit Vietnam's educational context. Key priorities include effective resource allocation, teacher training, international partnerships, infrastructure investment, and active social engagement to ensure scheme's success with high quality and efficiency. The scheme outlines specific targets for integrating English as a second language across all education levels. By 2035, all eligible preschools will introduce English, targeting 100% coverage of children aged 3-5, extending to all preschoolers, including nursery and kindergarten, by 2045. By 2035, every student from grades 1 to 12 will follow an English-as-a-second-language curriculum at levels 1, 2, and 3, with all schools offering advanced levels 4, 5, and 6 by 2045. All universities will also adopt levels 4, 5, and 6 while all vocational training establishments will integrate career-focused English courses into their curricula. By 2030, Vietnam aims to complete the building of English curricula within the continuing education system to meet growing public demand. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/education/vietnam-aims-to-make-english-second-language-for-all-students-by-2035-4857613.html
  5. From MSN Colourful rectangular wooden boats carrying tourists are chugging along at a leisurely pace across the Mekong River. The atmosphere is idyllic, disturbed only by the monotonous throbbing of the boats' engines. Hills rise gently on both sides of the mighty river, water buffaloes are grazing on the banks. A fisherman in a longboat casts his net, while the heat of the day slowly descends on Laos from the pale blue sky. The cosy vessels are dubbed "slow boats" and the contrast to the speedboats that whiz along the canals in neighbouring Thailand could hardly be starker. The name embodies the Laotian attitude to life: In Southeast Asia's only landlocked country, taking it easy is a top priority. "The wise do not hurry and those in hurry are rarely wise," our tour guide, Kham Dee says, citing an old Laotian proverb as he slowly steers the boat in the direction of Pak Ou Caves, a famous cave temple containing nearly 6,000 Buddha statues. Looking to party? You're in the wrong place While most tourists visiting Laos head to the ancient royal city of Luang Prabang, the capital Vientiane with its temples, markets and French colonial buildings also has much to offer, including the country's landmark - the Pha That Luang, a golden, terraced stupa dating back to the 16th century. Shortly after sunrise monks in saffron-coloured robes carry processional umbrellas across the main square in Wat Si Saket, a temple that radiates serene beauty. A gong chimes, followed by deep Buddhist chants. The few foreign visitors on this particular morning stand spellbound. With fewer than 1 million inhabitants, Vientiane offers a relaxed contrast to glitzy metropolises like Bangkok and Singapore. If you're looking to party, you're in the wrong place.

  6. From The Thaiger A Pattaya rescue team was called into action to remove a stainless steel ringfrom a Thai man’s penis. The man had hoped the ring would boost his sexual performance but he ended up in hospital instead. The 45 year old Thai man, whose identity remains undisclosed, visited a private hospital in Pattaya for treatment. His genital area was swollen and developed severe inflammation from the steel ring he was wearing. The man confessed to the medical team that he placed a steel ring, with a diameter of 3 centimetres, around the base of his penis to combat long-lasting erectile dysfunction. He wore it for only two days before the injuries developed. The ring became tighter around his penis, causing the organ to swell. To provide treatment, the ring had to be removed first. Consequently, the hospital sought the cooperation of the Sawang Borriboon Dhammastan Foundation to cut the ring off. The rescuers revealed to Daily News that they used a metal cutting tool to remove the ring. The man reportedly struggled due to the pain, and the rescuers and nurses had to hold his body tightly to prevent injury from the cutting tool. It took them over 45 minutes to remove the ring. https://thethaiger.com/news/pattaya/failed-enhancement-pattaya-rescuers-remove-steel-ring-from-mans-penis
  7. From Pattaya News The Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) took legal action against a condominium in Bangkok’s Pratunam area for illegally renting units to tourists on a daily basis. Additionally, three unlicensed hotels in Huai Khwang-Sutthisan were shut down. The crackdown followed complaints from condo residents who reported disturbances caused by short-term renters, including smoking on balconies and improper use of shared spaces. Officials found that some units were rented out via online platforms, violating the 2004 Hotel Act. Property owners failing to register guests or report foreign visitors to immigration authorities could face up to one year in jail or fines of up to 20,000 baht, with additional daily penalties up to 10,000 baht. Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul ordered strict enforcement nationwide, targeting condo owners and foreign investors using nominees to bypass regulations. Authorities have now intensified legal measures, urging condominium juristic persons to prevent illegal rentals and launching public awareness campaigns on hotel laws. https://thepattayanews.com/2025/03/07/crackdown-on-illegal-daily-rentals-bangkok-condos-and-hotels-raided/
  8. Having been there more than a few times, I can say with some certainity that they know exactly who they’re after: men who would like to get up close and personal with young Myanmar dancers.
  9. I believe this is particularly true with otherwise straight guys. They’re usually more likely to feel free to act on impulse once door is closed with customer. There are, of course, exceptions but I like to take one at a time because of satisfactory success rate. I view it this way. If they choose to share their experience with coworkers, i benefit because they’re now aware what I’m looking for. If they don’t then it’s just between us and that’s fine, too.
  10. From Khaosod English A violent altercation in Phuket’s nightlife district has sparked widespread online criticism after video footage emerged showing foreign tourists fleeing from transgender individuals before a physical confrontation. Police Lieutenant Pongpipat Khamchoomphoo, Deputy Inspector of Patong Police Station, reported that the incident occurred in the early hours of March 5 on Bangla Road. The conflict began when 4-5 transgender women confronted two Thai women, Wilaiporn, 21, and Sunisa, 23, accusing them of stealing Israeli clients. When Israeli tourists Nathan and Ofir attempted to intervene, they became entangled in the dispute with the transgender group. Video shows the chaotic fight that ensued, with the tourists running away on the road pursued by the transgender women. Both parties sustained injuries before the transgender group fled the scene. Emergency responders provided first aid to the tourists before transferring them to Patong Hospital. Authorities later identified and summoned three transgender individuals – Suwicha, 20, Apisit, 28, and Siwaphum, 29 – to acknowledge charges of public disturbance, which carries a maximum fine of 5,000 baht. The tourists were also charged with the same offense.offense.

  11. When they’re not on stage for rotation, it’s not unusual to find some Fresh Boy performers hanging outside second-floor entrance to bar, where they retreat to warm up or have a smoke. It’s not necessary to ascend the main staircase to access the area. Instead, look for stairway on right side of PP2 (coming from direction of Foodland) as you approach French Kiss restaurant. That will take you by Hot Male’s outside bar and entrance to FB will soon follow.
  12. From The Thaiger AirAsia is making domestic travel more affordable than ever, joining forces with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to encourage travellers to explore hidden gems across the country. The budget airline is rolling out one-way fares starting at just 880 baht, giving tourists the chance to visit 16 destinations spanning all four regions of Thailand. The limited-time promotion is available for bookings until March 9, with travel dates set between March 10 and September 30. AirAsia aims to connect lesser-known cities with tourists eager to explore Thailand beyond its mainstream hotspots.

  13. From The Thaiger A Thai dancer had a terrifying brush with death after suffering a severe shockmid-performance at a temple in Kamphaeng Phet. The culprit? A mystery drink laced with a sexual stimulant, handed to him by a member of the audience. The official Facebook page of the Mor Lam performance band, หมอลำใจเกินร้อย(Mor Lam Jai Kern Roi, meaning over 100% spirit Mor Lam band), provided an update on the condition of the male dancer, Warayuth Somsanook, yesterday, March 5. According to the page, Warayuth suffered a shock after consuming the drink provided by a member of the audience. The suspect handed a glass of alcohol to the victim in front of the stage and urged to drink it in exchange for a reward. The drink was not pure alcohol but it had been mixed with sexual stimulants. The amount of the substance was beyond what the human body could tolerate, causing Warayuth to lose consciousness on stage. Fortunately, he received medical treatment in time. The performance on the day of the incident took place at Thung Sanin Temple in Kamphaeng Phet. The temple’s monks condemned the suspect on social media, with some locals also believing that the suspect intended to damage the reputation of both the temple and the Mor Lam band. The monks stated that the suspect was an LGBTQIA+ individual wearing a white T-shirt. ThaiRath reported that the temple is now gathering evidence to take legal action against the person. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-dancer-shocked-after-drink-spiked-with-sexual-stimulant
  14. Will have to be one hell of a pyramid.
  15. If you take boy away from bar, do not be surprised if he has to reimburse bar 500 per day for his absence. Boys who leave FB for more than three days without paying off fee lose their number and have to reapply for job when they return.
  16. From The Thaiger A high-speed tuk tuk race on a Bangkok road ended in a devastating crash, leaving three people seriously injured, including one driver with a severe head injury. The incident, which occurred late last night, March 3, sparked a policeinvestigation, with officers awaiting blood alcohol test results. The collision happened around 10pm on Ratchadaphisek Road in Chong Nonsi, Yannawa district, according to Police Lieutenant Colonel Thiradej Sonklin of Bang Phong Phang Police Station. Eyewitnesses reported that two tuk tuks were speeding side by side, attempting to overtake each other in what appeared to be a dangerous street race. As one driver made a risky lane change, the vehicle was struck by the other tuk tuk, causing it to flip over. https://thethaiger.com/news/bangkok/bangkok-tuk-tuk-race-ends-in-crash-3-injured
  17. From Pattaya News Thailand, March 4th, 2025 — Digital Economy Minister Prasert Chantraruangthong, chair of the National Alcohol Policy Committee, announced proposed amendments to Thailand’s alcohol laws, aligning them with the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025 campaign. While the ban on alcohol sales during five major Buddhist holidays remains—Makha Bucha, Visakha Bucha, Asalha Bucha, Buddhist Lent, and End of Buddhist Lent—exceptions will apply to international airport terminals, licensed entertainment venues, hotels, and designated tourist areas approved by the Public Health Ministry. The committee is also studying electronic alcohol sales regulations to assess feasibility and impact. The existing sales restrictions remain in place due to legal constraints under Revolutionary Decree No. 253. A 15-day public consultation will be held online before the final proposal is submitted for approval, with the goal of implementing the changes before Visakha Bucha Day on May 11th, 2025, remarked Minister Prasert. TPN media notes this is only a proposal and it is still unclear where exactly the exceptions will apply. https://thepattayanews.com/2025/03/04/thailand-eases-alcohol-ban-on-buddhist-holidays-in-select-locations/
  18. Have been to this shop three times before it moved to its present location a short distance away, it’s well managed with very clean facilities. What impresses me most, however, is that it has retained six of the guys who were working there during my last visit just prior to Covid: Yod, Zee, Wit, Min, Tum and Pae. I remember Pae as being a skilled and attentive therapist. This is a quite popular local shop in a busy urban area just this side of the Chao Phraya and within easy walking distance of MRT Bang Pho stop. A search for information on “Kasai” massage frequently returns hits for “Karsai.” Typically, a Karsai Nei Tsang session is preceded by a Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal massage treatment, slowly moving in deeper into the genital area. In fact, Mantak Chia, the founder of Karsai Nei Tsang, claimed that one can only become a first-rate Karsai therapist with years of extensive preceding training and practical experience in Chi Nei Tsang. On the whole, one could say that Karsai Nei Tsang aims at resolving health issues associated with the sexual organs and sexuality, such as premature ejaculation, problems having or maintaining an erection, fertility problems, prostate problems, menopause discomforts, ovarian cysts, menstrual disorders, painful sexual intercourse, scar tissue in the genital region, and low sexual libido. https://www.traditionalbodywork.com/health-benefits-of-karsai-nei-tsang-genital-detox-massage/
  19. Will serve you well to keep that in mind. 😏
  20. You, @unicorn, are the essence of arrogance, the king of conceit, the depth of vanity. And I say that with all emotion and rancor.
  21. Because they’re based on a western bias. And I say that without emotion or rancor.
  22. Yet no one has indicated approval of your positions.
  23. From The Thaiger Chaos erupted for Pakistani travellers after they found themselves marooned in Bangkok for two long days after technical issue with a Thai Airways flight. In a maddening turn of events, passengers were left in suspense for six gruelling hours at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, clinging to the hope of an alternative flight. Those hopes were dashed, however, when Thai Airways abruptly pulled the plug and cancelled the flight, leaving passengers in a state of disarray and despair. ARY News reported that the airline sought to patch things up by whisking passengers away to a hotel, albeit a tedious hour-and-a-half jaunt from the airport. Unfortunately, the less-than-ideal hotel facilities only heaped more misery onto the beleaguered travellers. As if that wasn’t enough, the airline’s reported bungling also caused many passengers to miss crucial connecting flights, throwing travel plans into complete disarray. With their patience worn thin, the stranded Pakistanis have raised their voices, appealing to Pakistani authorities for urgently needed assistance. The drama in Bangkok has yet to be resolved with passengers still grounded and frustrated. https://thethaiger.com/news/bangkok/thai-plane-shame-pakistanis-stranded-in-bangkok-bust-up-video
