Well I only got sick once on the first time I went, but it was so bad I couldn't move. I survived that night and ever since never had a problem anywhere in the turd world! It's like chicken pox you got to get it and get over it, then you're immune. Eat street food and build an iron gut.

Livingthai.org has good info from our perspective.

Way too much effort, just buy a 1 month memberships, the first month is were you get i would say 80-90% of your messages so its worth it. If your online game is good enough, you should have her number within an hour and a date lined within 2. Seems like a whole thing to hire PA to do that stuff for you?

one tip would be to create a face book account and add these girls, as there pictures on thai friendly are usually filtered, so girls may not appear as you think

There are not nearly as many good looking broads at Thai Uni as there are in the US but I still think it is a good angle to get into a few middle class social circles.

Cant comment on this as I never tried to interact with Thais too much.

You will probably have to know how to speak some Thai and ask a several late night moto drivers, this will take some leg work but I can't think of a better way to meet the hottest DTF girls short of going into the hi-end brothels/clubs and using the ideas from thegmanifesto strip club guidebook and McQueens books.

how do you mean upper tier, as in looks? or status? G clubs cost alot of $$$ and you can easily drop 10k baht in a night without taking anything home with you. I have been with farangs who are members of various G clubs and visit bi weekly, once they were talking with a small group of girls in the PIMP for a few hours. The Farangs then head to Wip after, and by coincidence the girls at the G club where they too. When my friends went over to talk too the, they were given the cold shoulder and my friends had no idea why.

1)I told them either, they are not interested in you
2) Its a thai club, some thais are too worried about what others thais think of them when farangs approach tables.

Some G club girls go to Wip after they are finished, could just find them there (free entry on weekdays), not sure if they will talk too you, WIP is a tough nut to crack. A few even hang out in Insomnia.

As for street food, yeah its quite healthy wise, bad but so damn tasty. I ate it about 3 times a day, because im cheap. Got food poisoning once in just over a year, but I think that was from foodland.

A good friend of mine runs a Paleo food service in Bangkok, when he will delivery food too your door, very very good. If anybody wants to know more can feel to PM.

Upper tier talking about looks in face and body

"Seems like a whole thing to hire PA to do that stuff for you?"
Two things one it takes me a long time to read Thai and writing takes forever, I need a Thai PA to take care of that and two search thru the dating sites still takes time and so does snooping on facebook cause I don't know how to do any of that computer programming and internet automation. I've spent waay too much of my life in front of a computer screen anyways I'd rather just pay to receive emailed dossier with pictures and tel numbers and go from there.

btw you should post a datasheet about Australian farm work, I'm sure a few of the guys would be interested to hear about it. It sounds like the lower paying, but less miserable alternative to gas and oil.

I'm not worried about getting sick. I've been here two years and gotten sick only once I think, and that was from getting too many buckets of moat water in ny mouth during Songkran in CM. I'm talking about overall health and well being. After eating an omelette from the day market, compared with cooking my own, I feel significantly better throughout the day if I shy away from street food. Which sucks because a pork omelette with rice and chili sauce is probably one of my favorite things. I can literally eat them everyday.

I wear pants during the day in SEA, but all my mine are made of lightweight materials. Either lightweight cotton, linen, or a blend of the two.

If you're in the states, and don't want break the bank, J Crew makes very good lightweight chinos of varying fits. The urban fit is an ankle length pant which allows even more air flow to your legs (this cut was made for hot places original). And the classic fit in summer weight still is wearable during the day on a 90F day.

Banana R also makes linen/cotton chino blends of varying fits/cuts that are affordable for most.

Both of those brands also have good, large pockets which is hugley important for me while going around a city. Need space for a big smart phone, cash, sometimes headphones, etc.

The issue for lots of guys is if you're in Boston, or somewhere else cold, you're not going to find these weights locally. Online or going to Florida is your best bet. lol. Or bring examples to BKK and have a local make them for you.

I think a nice plain t/polo/short sleeve button down, with well made lightweight chinos plus boat/loafer/crisp classic tennis shoes, is a good daytime look for SEA and will easily set you apart from the cargo/sandal/beer chang crowd. Plus it's easy, comfortable and allows you to freely move in a crowded, hot, and unpredictable place.

For night, just step it up with a tailored shirt, nicer pants/jeans, and boots or loafers.

Dockers Alpha Khakis are great, just don't get the actual khaki color. The cut fit me much better than J. Crew, which were short and saggy in the ass on me.

Well you can always just tell them not to put any MSG and sugar (may say pongchuurot kap namtaan na khap) and then the only bad part of the food is the cheap oil. There are even street food places that are selling brown rice.

Guess the way to go for a productive and healthy life in BKK is renting a house and a maid with a few people together. A Thai maid who is living in the place can be found for 5000B, even cheaper if from the neighbouring countries.

Get socks, boxer shorts that wick away sweat,moisture.Also undershirts that wick away moisture. They can be washed and dry within 3-4 hours is a plus. Get with silver to avoid odors.

@YardDog & Rio:

I actually have a few pairs of both the J. Crew Urban Slim broken-in chinos and the Alpha Khakis. They're pretty different but I like them both. I really need some of the Alphas in gravel.

Fortunately, I grew up in a really hot, humid climate so I'll be pretty well prepared. There is more variety in seasons here and BKK is slightly hotter in the peak of summer, but I'm no stranger to 95 degrees with 100% humidity.
