Warias are Indonesian ladyboy/shemale. While the country votednew laws to crack down homosexuality and sex between unmarried people, I have found a few cute (amateur) videos that I'd like to remember. Indonesia is a large country and I don't know where these warias live. Never mind, enjoy. Waria1.mp4

I can't imagine the Pattaya Sandbox/Playpen has the remotest chance of being implemented. Too difficult and easily "circumvented" on production of a crisp 1,000 baht note. No chance. Barmy idea suggested by a desperate barowner.

An interesting topic (for a change). Thailand wants everybody to come, from the wealthy down to chinese mass tourism. There's everything here, from exclusive beach resorts down to backpacker hostels. Same with restaurants. Same with bars and nightlife. I can't see it changing anytime soon: high-rise, high density hotels and condos are still being built in Bangkok and Pattaya by the hundred! As for visas: there's always been the Elite visa for the wealthy, and there's always been the easy to obtain 30 day visa. Can't see that changing anytime soon. The mass markets from India and China will be needed to fill all those places, while the wealthy can go off to an island resort. As for mongering: Patong's Bangla Road changed to a clubby-type scene with high prices, but the girls were still loitering in the street waiting for just about anybody. The same has happened in Walking Street. Soi Burkhao is going the same way, with absurd rents attracting wealthy investors. But the girls are still waiting outside, along the street. Some in the govt want to chase the high-worth individuals, but at the same time market forces will prevail. All those people in their 30 sq m hotel rooms/condos will still be here and will continue to be catered to. Will the cheap-charlie western expats/retirees still come? It'll be interesting to see. During Covid, they've discovered that there are actually other places where they can enjoy sun, sand, sea, and sex. "Our" lot will likely still come, as we prefer the more petite feminine form, but we constitute a tiny proportion of visitors to LoS. There is a requirement already in place to have 800k baht on deposit for a retirement visa, but in typical thai fashion, there are "ways around" that. Has always been the case, and will always remain so, no matter what the govt tries to do. I think the recovery will be long and slow, but nothing much will change here. Not in our lifetimes anyway!

The EU created a sanitary pass that EU residents obtain after being vaccinated. Rules here decided that we would get our pass 1 week afetr the second injection. Now, the Ministry of health is adding rules to allow people who had been covid sick and received on injection o obtain the sanitary pass. Temporary sanitary passes were also granted to unvaccinated people who's had negative PCR test for 3 days or less. However, PCR tests are no longer free as they were last month. Each country can then decide how to use the "Sanitary pass". Here, no one is allowed to go to a bar, a restaurant, a movie theatre or many other places without his sanitary pass. The pass can be checked rapidly scanning the QR code either in the App in a smartphone or on a certificate printed on paper. This week, employees working in facilities opened to the public must have a sanitary pass to work. Although the law wouldn't allow a business to lay off an employee, many private employers threatened employees of being laid off if they wouldn't be vaccinated and this boosted the overall rate of vaccination of the population. This week, public hospitals and nursing hommes employees who still refused to be vaccinated had their work contract suspended in strict application of the law. I don't know if such sanitary passes exist in countries outside the EU but the norm could be copied and followed by other countries. This is what the Sandbox's idea makes me think.

Yes bar owners are my only true friends in Thailand.

Last year I posted that Thailand mongering would not be the same after Covid-19, not so much because of Covid itself but because of ongoing demographic and income trends in Thailand that will progressively make cheap eager prostitutes (and menial laborers in general) a thing of the past. Covid, once its over, would just provide a convenient timing for the Thai authorities to reform its farang-oriented sex industry since it all but closed in 2020-21 so the desruption is already there if changes are to be made. Going forward, I prognosticated, there is only one direction: UPSCALE WHORES and HIGHER-VALUE MONGERS. Seems I was on to something. The Thai authorities just announced a VIP sexpat visa for wealthy applicants with US$1 million in assets and annual income of US$80,000. Pensioners get a break and need only US$40,000 (which is actually not that high). But the point is that gone are the days when Thais were happy to attract low-income farangs coming to Thailand on a Cheap Charlie budget to enjoy the sex lives of rock stars without bringing much to the economy (unless of course they blew their life savings building houses in Issan in the name of their future ex-es...) The Thai authorities say they want to attract "1 million" such high-value expats over the next five years, which stands to reason will be at the expense of lower income applicants and perhaps even of sexpats already there who might not see their visas renewed. This will also serve for Thais to avoid having to deal with the otherwise expectable inflow of the Arab world and China-equivalent of the West's riff-raff, as all those Jordanians and mainlanders we have been seeing gaining ground on the bars over the past 20 years are also gonna want to retire in the company of cheap sluts. What do you all think ? how much time do we have to enjoy Thailand on the cheap ? Here is my source and a helpful chart they prepared: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2181775/govt-to-entice-rich-expats

well now, there i was this afternoon playing on Youtube, and also thinking about QG and his Irish ancestry. Also pondering about how to amass a few points to help me get rid of this hated 'Rockstar with LB groupies' tag that's hanging around my neck like a stone. Anyway, all that pointed me in the direction of something i love...Irish bands and singers. I'm pretty much convinced and have been for years that the Irish accent is perfect for vocals. This comes from years ago in the 70s and 80s when i hung around with a part Irish band in London called 'Mantilla' so, this is my Irish music thread. Dedicated to all the Irish guys on here..BB, Ciobha, Kylemore et-al. Who for all i know may hate this stuff... but never mind. I start with the Dubliners, no doubt Liam Clancy won't be far behind. Please feel free to add to these.

Feargal Sharkey. I admit that i had to check if he's Irish, sounds Irish but could be a Croation name for all i know. But, Irish he most definitely is.

Dexy's not the best version of the song I've heard - I was just looking out for something different.

Not heard this version before Quinn, actually quite a good rendition. Kildare is the next county west from me. Here is a tune about my neck of the woods by Christy Moore. Karl in Ezy bar used to stick it on at silly o clock when he thought I might be leaving, to make me stay for another one or more .

Hi Jimbo and I would also start with a broad swipe to say that it's nice to interact with you for once like BM-to-BM on a topic without me copping stick for something I posted or you having to thank me for a video or award you did not ask for... Just to say I agree with you on the markets forces prevailing, and they always do, everywhere... Clearly PRICES are going to go up in Thailand regardless of government visas and farangs wishful-thinking. As I have been hammering here and at PY under different guises, Thailand's demographics of fewer children means the plentiful and cheap labor supply that makes our existence there Heaven-on-Earth is on the way out. I don't just mean the cheap whores; also the cheap maids, the cheap taxis, the cheap food, the cheap 10K rents for nice-enough condos, that make it possible for westerners on paltry pensions to move there and live confortably in addition to having sex with younger and multiple partners. With prices rising, as they have been, those sexpats will be priced out of Thailand and countless more will never come. The good news is that Thailand remains uniquely endowed with attractions and cheap compared to the neighboring countries and will continue to attract the bargain hunters traveling to and from the region. I think a good comparison would be Portugal, also a major tourist destination, that boasts some of the most exclusive tourist infrastructure in Europe while continuing to accommodate all the Cheap Charlies of Europe in Air BnBs and discount package hotels... Like now very trendy and upscaling Portugal, i think Thailand with all its mom-and-pop hotels and restaurants will continue to be affordable for, as Jimbo said, "our lifetimes" (not so sure about the Thai youths remaining available for old foreign men to fuck). Perhaps a good comparison of what Thailand will look like could be Hong Kong with prohibitively expensive areas and other areas not so much but the expats don't really want to live there because it equates with low status. And in Hong Kong which mongeringwise used to be like Thailand on a smaller scale until the 70s-80s ? ("The World of Susie Wong") you now will have to try a lot harder than in Thailand to fuck the natives... To sum up: I still think, at the political level, the Thais are starting to envision a future more consistent with its growing income reality where the sex industry shrinks to a pricey sideshow and the sexpats on a budget will quietly be done away with for the sake of the country's image and pride. The new Posh Visas would be a step in that direction.

He won't be exploring Sunny's Denim Shorts for a while !

I quite follow you Rom when you say that Thailand is trying to target richer visitors rather than cheap charlies. The movement started a few decades ago and got slowed down after the Asian crisis (who remembers this crisis ? ) and started again. They realized that mass tourism is dangerous for their environment. This is why they started collecting taxes and entry fees on visits to National parks around Phuket and Krabi. I don't think they want to get rid of the typical farang (white) cheap charlie BUT they will try to attract richer guests coming from China, other eastern Asian countries, India, Arabic countries or Russia. New visas are just a try : they create a new offer and will see if they attract a new population. Good luck to those who believe they just need to find a district with neon light bars, enter a bar and ask how much is a bar fine. What makes a few of these countries attractive is that you can find a higher quality or relationship or cheaper prices if you play it smart only, othewise you'd better stay in Bangkok and spend your 1,000 baht bills to find cheaper prices.

Please respect the topics of the club. I don't really enjoy thread fucking and off topic. Many topics deal with Vietnam and I will create new topics and sub forums dealing with other subjects. However, I am sorry I had to hoover a post spoiling a topic of Vietnamese ladyboys. Why always deal with ladyboys of Pattaya ? Do you think, we need to post more to deal with them ?

I don't have anything like the familiarity with Irish music as Grunt - but the Pogues (already mentioned here) were my absolutely favourite band in the eighties. And this one (I picture myself with Quinn and a jug of whiskey doing a wild jig in bar to this with a very bewildered ladyboy!) ---

Cute but would be a waste of time and resources. Off the bat, I can think of 5 overwhelming reasons: 1 - To cordon off Walking Street is impossible without a military style perimeter and enforcement. There are the 2 north and south (Beach Road) main entrances and then at least 5 sois coming from 2nd road and soi Arab. But what really makes it even harder is that many of the establishments on Walking Street have their own private exits to the back sois. Each door and open air bar would have to be monitored. Some (Thais) could disembark from the sea under the pillars of the seafront businesses. I have seen it from the Marine Disco balcony... Plus where would they draw the perimeter? Just along Walking Street? or all the way back to 2nd Road? If the latter, it would cover a lot of rooms crammed with bargirls and staff whose occupants cannot be denied access to their rooms regardless of covid status... 2 - More importantly: Pattaya tourism is about freedom to enjoy the wickedness and step over the lines we don't dare to back home. Who wants to be hassled with certificates and covid tests to go have a beer ? Nobody! the tourists are not going to come until they are free to roam... 3 - Arguably for the above reason, the Phuket Sandbox was a flop (https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/phuket-sandbox-scheme-for-covid-19-not-quite-the-resounding-success-as-expected) . What makes anyone think Pattaya would do any better ? 4 - From a public health perspective it's not worth the risk, especially having endured a year and half of closure, what's another 2 or 3 months ???... 5 - If you allow a Walking Street Sandbox, then they are going to want one in Buakhao, and then one in Jomtien, and why not Naklua? Not fair to channel business to some establishments while keeping others locked... If they do allow only Walking Street bars to operate, they will have the pick of all of Pattaya's hottest whores who will understandbly head there at the expense of the bars where they worked before, which will loose their best staff possibly beyond covid... PS - And speaking of covid vaccination certificates, one of my ladyboy friends who refuses to take the free Sinovac shots and can't afford the farang shots in a private clinic told me he bought one such 2-shot SInovac vaccination certificate for 100 baht...

I have just finished watching "Cry Macho" Clint Eastwood acting and directing, when watching I realized what a treasure he is. I have grown up with Clint always being the Macho action person and now as I see Him ageing I realize that I too have also aged and see a particular vulnerability in Him. It's as if you want to care for him and want him to go on for ever in His directing and acting. What a Gent.

He thinks he is being a clever t**t Woodie, Manchester has just been voted 3rd best City in the World after San Francisco and Amsterdam concerning nightlife, restaurants, cultural highlights amongst other categories. Probably best to visit a place first before slagging it off imho

Like the bagpipes, Irish musiccan make me sad, wistful and happy. I'm an amalgam of Scots and Irish with a little Pom thrown in. Funny how isolation affects the mind, a certain song keeps going around in your head for weeks. Lately it's been Whiskey in the Jar. Thanks for bringing it all back, mates. Dunno if we'll ever get back to LOS, the way things are.

A few fetishes covered in this clip :)

well, when the Irish crew [ bumble, Seamus O' Poke et al] get back here...we'll talk Emmy into having an Irish night... Bumble, if you want to bring Sarah Devlin...feel free. Just don't bring the Bachelor's! you can bring that lead singer bird from the Corr's too.

I actually had the most beautiful French girl (who was a ski bunny), sit next to me on a flight. When this girl boarded, I was sitting in the window seat with a spare seat next to me. She walked down the aisle and all the guys were gawking. Lo and behold she sat down next to me. She did fall asleep at one point and lay on my shoulder. The urge to fondle the beautiful orbs was very compelling. I just did not fancy spending part of the flight in handcuffs!.

Seven, you were joking re the North of England? Food; soggy chips and bangers. Weather ; rain with short periods of milky sunshine. Beautiful women; those ten ton hunks of lard rolling out of the pubs at closing time!. Wow!.

Gentlemen this is NOT PERSONAL neither on the part of the Thai Government towards any of you, nor on mine as I don't have any idea what income level any of you expat BMs enjoy and how the new policies might affect you if at all. But we have to admit this is a NO-BRAINER ! if given a choice between high-income, high-skills expats VERSUS low-income, bargain hunting expats, if the Thai Minister of Economics is doing his/her job he/she will pick the high-incomes. You may feel you are spreading the wealth among the neediest when you buy 30 baht pad thais from the street vendors, but you would spread your wealth much faster if you paid 300 baht every meal, which is the minimum you would pay for a cooked and served meal in your home country... same-same when you buy 50 baht beers that in western strip joints cost 500... 1000 baht longtimes that in europe might cost you 1000 euros... etc, etc I doubt Thailand will become the French Riviera, but they are now in a position to become more selective as regards who they want to live in their country... Especially regarding the sexpats since the supply of Thai prostitutes is going down (fewer children and alternative occupations) and the demand is going up from more and more sexpats and sex tourists from more countries. It stands to reason the cheaper charlies have to be culled, or the high-rolling charlies won't come. Besides the demographics, there is another factor at play: Despite the prevailing authoritarianism, Thais are becoming more politically and socially aware and will eventually not accept being the country where old foreign men come to fuck their young. When that day comes, and it will, it will be the end of sexpats as we know them, which is the message i intended when I started this thread. And then the end of sex tourists also and that would be me among them.

I understand that Thailand wants to "upgrade" getting rid of the average rif-raf pensioner and making higher revenues pensioners come instead. I don't know whether the covid crisis will help accelerate this policy or delay it for a couple of decades. I don't think that Thailand wants to put out the former average retiree but will stop attracting new ones and will try to attract better off retirees instead. If I remember well, there had been an Asian crisis in 1997 that made countries like Thailand lose high levels of incomes and they had been happy to welcome farangs with an average purchasing power. Perhaps they will be happy to welcome average mongers after the covid crisis to bring Thailand foreign currencies. We'll see what will happen in real in the next few years. Just a reminder : I stopped going to Chiang Mai since I had found the city no longer looked like an exotic touristic destination but more and more like a European provincial city. I had the same judgement regarding the Patpong area. It reminded me of tourist bars in a European captital city touristic area. Regarding expat visas, I don't really feel concerned either by Thailand or another country. After visiting SE Asia a few times, I decided that becoming an expat wouldn't be a great idea. I would be bored with what makes a sex tourist happy and I wouldn't be able to be a 52 weeks millionaire. I also distanced myself from Thailand and have felt happy for it. I know neither where I will be mongering in 5 years nor if I will be mongering ladyboys/shemales or GGs in my other destination. So, I don't place much importance to this kind of forward looking information. I will tell you what I do after I have done it.

I don't know what US pensions are like. But that would be high at around £29,000 in UK. The average UK pension is about £15,000. I wouldn't like to guess about what is going to happen in Thailand, but I suspect there will continue to be 2-4 week tourists on lower budgets.

Me thinks you want to be a guest lecturer at Bangkok Ladyboy University! Re the second category, Wealthy Pensioners, not sure why this is a better scheme that what is normally offered. The current Retirement Visa is a great deal at 1900 baht a year. The main inconvenience is that it must be renewed in a 30 day window at the same time every year. Currently a Retirement Visa holder must either keep 800K baht in a Thai bank, prove 65K baht a mont in pension income, or pay a fixer. Guys balk at 800K baht so 250K USD ( around 8 million Thai baht) is a hurdle. The government could keep the current system in place but do away with the age requirement and change pension income to any income. The article makes no mention of the visa fee. In the past the fee was an exorbitant amount, age restricted, and seemed to offer little benefit beyond the retirement visa. The retirement visa fee is quite low in Thailand compared to the Philippines and Cambodia. In Cambodia it is the equivalent of 10K baht. The current system for digital nomads is absurd, a system where every few months the nomads must do a border run in a death van. Would be more sensible to jack up the visa fee to cost of the death vans.

The above post was first posted as an answer to my first video of Hitler and the ladyboys. However, since it's rich of coments, I prefered to move it and create another thread. Thanks a lot for your comments Rom. Actually, I got inspired by your own videos and did my own creation. Thanks for your help. You could notice I followed a couple of your advises but soon came back to my original idea. Regarding PY, there would be so much to say about them. I prefer not to add comments. You had given an excellent definition in a thread in your own club and I had added my own point of view but you hid the posts since the thread appeared as a duplicate of another thread in your club. Do you know that you can split these posts and add them to this club if you want ? PY as well as some mores of sex tourists visiting Pattaya are so pitiful that they become ridiculous. I think the only answer is to laugh about it. PY bashing must remain a sport on the forums. The problem is not (only) PY. This is also a part of the monger culture. This small world is made of lurkers who will use shared information without posting anything in return, trolls who will deny the quality of new information or simply flood forums with useless quarrels, or small clans trying to defend each other's position without other reason than defending their clan. I had thought of going to The Rep Dom 7 or 8 years ago. I had started gathering information but decided not to go. I am not sure that your posts would have made me change my mind. However, it's good to remind that "Latine" America from the Mexican boarder to Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) are often places with interesting shemales of all kinds with national characters as ladyboys in Asia. Back to VN, you explained very well one side of the problem. I won't post in public forums complete guidelines to find Vietnamese ladyboys. 50 % of them or more aren't prostitutes. They look for friends and supports but you can meet them and have a good shag if you know how to act smartly. It's out of question for me to point out which ones could be calles "prostitutes" in regards of the Vietnamese law and then have troubles with the social criminality police services. The great advantage that the Vietnamese justice responses to prostitution cases is that it prevents the activity from becoming undecent and falling under the control of procurers. In one word, one needs to be smart not only to find Vietnamese ladyboys but also to to have profitable exchanges with them.
