Reply to "Miss Understood's Thailand 2003!"

I haven't ever encountered a dangerous situation. I'm sure that, just like in NY, if you're careless in crowd ou can get pickpocketed or something. But as for violence, I never see it. Confontation is frowned upon in Thai culture. In five long trips here I think I only saw a loud argument once.

In the US, the scariest thing is packs of 16-25 year olds. Young people can be evil when they're in a group. I never ever get that vibe off people here. People are very friendly and easygoing.

As for prostitution, there's tons of it. Most of it is in the red light district. Still, there is a lot of Western sugar-daddyism everywhere. It's very common to see a 50-80 year old Australian sitting with a 20 year old man, woman, or tranny. As for underage, while I'm sure it does go on, it's not out in the open. They have laws against it too. Well, they also have laws against prostitiution. They like to occasionally raid the hooker places. They also make them pay off people.

Last year there were a lot of raids on hooker places and gay bars, but they all still thrive and are very out in the open. I think it's all about money.

Hey look at the escort pages in the Voice. I guess in NY hey're more concerned with keeping them off the streets.

Hey, I went to Babylon last night. I forgot nice and cozy it is.

More Observations:

-Thais love anyything menthol. They eat Halls like we eat mints. They sell these cute little gold things, like a tiny salt shaker with a lid, full of menthol and herbs, that are just for sniffing. It's just for refreshment, no high. Wrigleys even makes "vapour gum" that you can buy at any 7-11 here. I'm getting hooked on it.

-Remember how we always heard that Eskimos rub noses? It may be true, because that's sort of a prelude to kissing here. If you get jiggy with a Thai guy, they do this thing where they act like they're kissing you, your face, neck, etc. But they just sort of rub and sniff a little. It's sexier than it sounds. After doing that for a while then they give you a tight mouth kiss, then comes the real thing. It's like foreplay to kissing. I have to remember to ask the Chengs girls if thats common in other parts of Asia.
