  1. Here's a new game. No loser, no money involved. Here's the rule : I'm going to post a ladyboy's pics in a post. If you feel inspired, just add a comment or rate what she looks like. Please use a scale from 0 to 5. 5 : she's perfect, I want to meet her next week 4 : great looking, very sexy 3 :very pretty, the kind we usually meet in go go bars 2 : still passable 1 : ugly 0 : too ugly to be kept in the list I will also submit my rate. You can suggest any other as you wish. Ready ? Here's the first one. I gave her a 4-star rating but she got older. Here's her last pics.
  2. Mardhi hasn't logged in at LBR since 2015. He hasn't posted In his favourite forum of which he had been the mod since 2020. I couldn't find when he logged in at PY for the last time but he last visible traces of his presence on the PY forum date back to 2021.
  3. May I point out that the OP dealt with a documentary broadcasted on French TV in 2011 and most of the thread dealt with your setting problems. I had sugggested the solution earlier but the problem kept on f...ing the thread till we forgot the original subject? It would be fine that a mod could split the off-topic.
  4. I'm writing this new post to address the off-topic discussion in RXpharm's thread dealing with "French Documentary about Katoeys" and hopefully stop thread fucking. I believe that complaining about Vietnamese taxis without evidence of scams is akin to Vietnam bashing. I recall my first experiences in a taxi, which date back to my childhood when my parents visited my mother's family in the countryside during the winter. We would take a train for most of the journey, but the last few kilometers were covered by taxi. When I was a student heading home, I sometimes opted for a taxi for the final 10 kilometers. I always found the service expensive, costing more than half of the train ticket for a 300 km journey. As a result, I got used to avoiding taxis to save money. In Europe, the only country with affordable rates was Portugal, at a time when the country was not as developed. But taking the bus remained the more economical choice. A few years later, I worked as a taxi driver in Mid Georgia and discovered the other side of the business. I started with challenging days, spending long hours on the road and sometimes making barely enough money to earn $2 per hour. I had to deal with customers refusing to pay extras, sales tax, or even inventing scams to avoid paying. I also had to learn to identify customers who might try to escape without paying or engage in illicit activities like drug transactions. I even received tips from the police to ask for upfront payment from certain customers or refuse fares. During my initial trips to Thailand and the Philippines, I enjoyed using bath buses or tuk-tuks due to their low fares. However, I soon realized I was using them excessively, so I began to be more mindful of my expenses. I started walking in many cities, saving money for my favorite activitiy with ladyboys. On my first trip to Vietnam in 2016, I tried to stay away from taxi drivers, as I encountered scenes at bus stations where they would pounce on me, not allowing me to find a cost-effective way to reach my destination. I was about 15 km away from downtown Saigon, and I eventually took a bus to my hotel in District 1 for just 6,000 VND (40 cents). The controller didn't even charge me extra for my luggage. I only had one issue with a taxi driver during my first trip in Châu Đốc, where the driver, a very young man, couldn't find the boat terminal to go to Phnom Penh. In his defense, he didn't know that the boat terminal was located in a hotel by the Mekong, and there was no one to assist him except maybe me. In 2018, I traveled from Hanoi to the extreme southwest of the country. I initially used open bus tickets but stopped in Huế due to discomfort and reckless driving. Although trains were more expensive, they were a cost-effective means of traveling long distances in Vietnam. Airlines cost approximately twice as much, but flying with them could also be a worthwhile option. The only dilemma arose in the southwest, where I had to choose between taking a bus or flying directly from HCMC to another city by plane. (It's too much expensive except between HCMC and Dương Đông) In 2018, I began using Grab, even though I couldn't create a Grab account. I simply asked a waitress at a bar to order a Grab for me, and I would pay her. I remember traveling to remote areas without knowing my exact location thanks to Grab, then I would spend time with a ladyboy and find another grab or a taxi to come back. During my last trip in 2019, I used taxis in Vietnam once again. At first, I relied on Grab, which allowed me to travel across large cities for just a few hundred thousand dong. However, I mainly used city buses, allowing me to traverse the city, disembark in the middle of nowhere, and reach a hotel with a ladyboy ready for a hot time. On a hot afternoon, as I had a late dating, I would get caught in a heavy thunderstorm as I tried to return to D1 to spend time at Senorita bar. I hailed a white taxi, double-checking the route with Google Maps. On one occasion, I sensed that the driver was trying to disoriente me, but he ultimately arrived at the correct location via a narrow lane He appeared to be lost, but I assured him that he was only a shop away from the correct address. It was excellent service, with no scams involved. During my most recent trip, I used taxis occasionally. I took buses from Hanoi airport to my serviced apartment. When I considered returning, I inquired about taxi fare prices, and my residence's quote closely matched the price on the metre. In Đà Nẵng, I disliked the aggressive attitude of taxi and motorbike drivers, so I chose to take the bus or walk instead. I later turned down a taxi in Nha Trang while negotiating flat rates for a shared ride with German and Swedish young people. I felt that the discount offered was insufficient, and I opted to walk instead, as my hotel was the closest. While there was no scam, I can be quite shrewd in business. I arrived at my hotel just in time for a shower, went to a restaurant, and reached the spot with ladyboys street action in the right time. Upon arriving in HCMC, I used only city buses. In Dương Đông, on a rainy evening, I had to take a taxi as I was caught in a thundershower. The young driver initially seemed clueless to me, and as he drove away from the hotel, I shouted, "Bạn đi qua cầu". I was sitting in the back right seat, but the driver turned left and looked for another passenger. He burst into laughter when he realized I was speaking to him in Vietnamese. He turned back at the roundabout and took me to the hotel. He appeared frustrated when he realized that the fare was less than 50,000 VND, but I had avoided a mistake. I rounded up the payment to 50,000 VND (2$). I can't categorically claim that Vietnamese taxi drivers are scammers. It's challenging for anyone to prove they've been scammed. In Vietnam, prices may seem relatively high, as 100,000 VND is equivalent to around $4 or 150 THB. However, what costs a small amount can be unsignificant. Taxi fares often appear expensive in various countries, so if you find them unpalatable, it's advisable to explore alternative means of transportation. For example, purchasing a Lonely Planet guide before traveling to Vietnam can be a wise investment. It can prove profitable after just one ride if travelers take the time to read and identify the right bus routes, such as the one that takes them to Chợ Bến Thành (D1) from the international terminal ofân Sơn Nhất . It doesn't require extraordinary intelligence to locate the appropriate bus route from Tân Sơn Nhất Airport to any hotel in the city. So, please refrain from fabricating taxi scams.
  5. I learnt it in management. This is thePareto principle. 80 % of the turnover is generated by 20 % of customers. (My manager called it class A). Eighty percent of the remaining turnover (16%) comes from only 20% of the remaining customers (class B= 16 % of customers). However, the last 4% of turnover is generated by 64% of the customers (class C). My manager aimed to eliminate class C, thinking it was too costly and contributed nothing. The intended result was to create new classes A, B, and C, but this strategy was misguided. In reality, there are no 'small' customers as long as they don't waste our time. The Pareto principle can also be applied in other economic contexts: 80% of assets are held by just 20% of individuals, and 64% of assets are concentrated among a mere 4% of the population. This means that more than half (51%) of the assets are controlled by less than 1% of the people. I never read about theories on Pareto principle, but you can have a look at Wikipedia. When I first arrived in the USA, I was part of a group that included European and Japanese individuals, with just two Americans. One of the Americans had a budget, thanks to his service as an Army veteran. The other guy was the type who loved to splash cash at places like doll houses in Myrtle Beach, which seemed utterly extravagant. He'd wake up the next day with a hangover, lamenting his depleted funds. But then, he'd secure a credit line and find a new job to start the cycle all over again. Unfortunately (or not), European guys like me weren't permitted to work, so we couldn't earn money. It was astonishing to witness how easily one could find employment in the USA and have cash to spend on bars and discos. After I got the clearance to have a self employed job, I saved the money and went back to Europe. I guess that the same guy would be a one week millionaire in Pattaya and would even sell his return ticket to keep on partying. But I don't think he found the way to Pattaya. Good for you if you like to attract girls or ladyboys with the smell of your 1,000 THB bills like sh... attracts flies. However, it's not in everyone's culture to do so.
  6. Can you explain ? Why didn't you take a bus instead ?
  7. When did they open in soi 7 (I think soi 7 had been their first location hadn't it ? )
  8. @The-Sith I'm afraid that the PY folks aren't any better than the IOC gangsters. They operate with the same spirit of bad faith. They simply have far less power but don't hesitate to abuse it for rather trivial profits. You forgot to mention a third category. If you look at it carefully, you'll notice that ladyboys bar developped in areas around US Navy and USAF bases. When the US armed forces go, ladyboys activities decline. This is not THE business model in Asia. This is A business model that appeals to certain Westerner including American customers. But it's easy to find a couple more business models as far as ladyboys are concerned. It's hafway between the search of a girlfriend (that one will have to pay) for a short term relationship and p4p or it's a world of freelancers that are pushed out of the street by local polices but develop in Internet. It works pretty well in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia and Vietnam as I experienced it The difference with the above model is that it more pricey. I even experienced it in Thailand in Chiang Mai, Udon Thani, Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Koh Chang, Hua Hin, Phuket, Ao Nang Hat Yai, but also in Bangkok and Pattaya.I'm referring to places I've visited, where I encountered this different approach. You're being ridiculous. You're creating a controversy out of trifles. I didn't merely confine myself to a Paattaya ladyboys bar, passively listening to the boss, who leveraged his role as a forum moderator to promote ideas that favored his business while alcohol clouded my judgment. Instead, I engaged with a diverse array of individuals, carefully sifting through fellow countrymen I spoke with, and found some interesting insights. I suggest you check out the above lists, rather than getting lost in your passive-aggressive tendencies.
  9. I'm not sure of what you call IOC, but I think that Moderating a forum requires a sense of responsibility. You can't assume that I see them as filthy criminal but cynical idiots is different. They pretended to manipulate mongers, they will loose their business. BTW, I wonder who's SD. I don't think that Snoopdwag is the guy you're talking about.
  10. @rxpharm you're probably right since Wikipedia says "On the evening of March 30, 2018, Nguyễn Hương Giang held a party to thank everyone for their support during her participation in the Miss International Queen 2018 contest. Accordingly, after the negotiation and working process, she became the copyright owner of Miss Universe Tiffany in Vietnam and the national director of the Miss International Queen Vietnam contest" but I haven't understood everything. As a matter of fact, I haven't read about Hương Giang before, or I don't remember if I did. It seems there has been a first contest in 2014 though. If I got it well, the contest you mentionned took place in April 2023 this year. What I noticed is that Hà participated in spite of being 32 or 33 years old at the time of the contest. (She's 33 years old now).
  11. @The-Sith wonderful post, especially your paragraph dealing with Obsessions. I had enjoyed the place when I visited during the off-peak season before the COVID outbreak. Perhaps I focused too much on a star, but I hadn't found everyladyboy outshining there. I think I had already commented somewhere in the forum. I would like to react on a few of your comments though. I'm surprised to read it posted by an American guy. What you post about "We pay. We get" seemed typically American to me. May I add that European people can be demanding, wanting more while paying less at times. It sounds normal to pay to get and pay more to get more. BUT I felt comfortable with this concept as long as we played the game with low rates countries. If I hadn't read about cheap prices in Thailand in the 2000s, I wouldn't have gotten airline tickets in the 2010s. Some cynical idiots called me a cheap charlie but I could see during my trips that Asia that countries are no longer third world nations, especially Thailand and that p4p scenes are vanishing as they did in Europe from the 1960s to the 2000s. I noticed that many BMs either in this board or other ones withdraw from the scene without notice nor warning. They just decide it's no longer worth the price. I'm afraid I will be one of them within a few years, or I will find another scene to have fun somewhere else in the world. This is probably, in a way, what Rom was trying to pull off in Madagascar. I wish he had found better opportunities. But Madagascar is also far as far as airline ticket prices are concerned. Airline ticket prices are also another issue. Now Thailand will follow quality policies similar to what happens in the car industries or other industries. There will be higher quality for those who can afford it but only for a happy few. I have no inclination to engage with individuals who display such behaviours that lead us to call them PY. I think that Rom thinks more or less the same.
  12. Skipping the answer. How cnadid you are about ownership in Thailand. If you had explored the country a bit deeper, you'd know that farangs aren't the "official" owner of their business all the time. A country fellow explained me the whole system. All the businesses are registered in the name of his Thai wife, but he has in his safe deposit box promissory notes duly drafted by a lawyer he generously paid. That rascal Petesie is familiar with the system, as he himself has explained the ins and outs of the lease agreements at LBR. It's evident that he's the one who established it, and his partner, at best, shares co-management responsibilities. More obvious, Rom doesn't want to add this dive bar with lofty ladyboys claims since he fears me to vote for this seedy place.
  13. Amazing. I see keng differently in this last photo set. She reminded me of Zara.
  14. Are you happy ? You f... the thread with your rale tales.
  15. I'm afraid your hotel is not in Cenu but on Mactan island. This is the only way one can see Bohol in the background. Regarding ladyboys, why don't you focus your attention on local ladyboys, both in Mactan and Cebu city ? Stealth007 had once posted that Cebu ladyboys are the prettiest in Asia.
  16. Don't be shy to say it. She's actually Jacinda Ardern who decided to have fun in the LOS.
  17. You're still in your position of VN bashing. If you feared to spend too much money to go to your hotel, you should have picked up a bus to go to your hotel or go back to the airport. This would have costed you 6,000 or 12,000 VND. Full top. The hotel manager should have advised you of a bus departing from the neighbourhood or your hotel. You shouldn't complain of VN. you made the decision to stay one night in Saigon. you had a few ladyboys in a reasonable walking distance of your hotel but made no effort to find or contact them. You have been rewarded at the level of your effort. Just be advised I was never scammed by a a taxi in VN when I chose to pick up one. And when I couldn't obtain the flat rate I wanted, I've taken responsability for my decision and walked instead if I couldn't find a bus.
  18. The taxi of the hotel manager's brother in law or cousin. You're right. Something's wrong with the forum settings. Waiting for the issue to be resolved, may I suggest you use MS-Edge on either a PC or an Android phone or tablet.
