Q&A on Thailand

[Lunch Box]

Jesus X, your perception of Thailand is dead wrong. Let me share some knowledge with you because your level of ignorance is insulting to what Thailand is really like.

1. Your Mexican so you should understand the sex tourist game: Attractive/ average Thai girls date Thai guys. REALLY POOR VILLAGE Thai girls earn money by being with Whites. 90% of the time those girls are considered unattractive and not the "spec" of Thai men.

2. Bangkok is a metropolis and is current in modern living and fast pace city lifestyle. Think NY meets LA.
The beach cities/ towns are more laid back and cater great to tourists so the lifestyle has to be up to date. Think Miami beach because of the outdoor restaurants near the beach and no boardwalks.
The mountain/ farm communities if anywhere in Thailand, you would find squat toilets there, but I still haven't used any and I'm from Surin. Think any town in the US that's in the boonies.

3. Thai people's style is copied from the Japanese and South Koreans. Skinny jean, Japanese denim, Dragon ball Z hair styles, etc etc. Very fashion focused: hipsters

Everybody on this forum always makes Thais sound like we're a bunch of mud people waiting for foreigners to save us.

OK, i got a question. Do the guys at the camps eat much? I mean what are the eating habits there, and what do they eat on a regular basis? Do they restrict themselves to a fighting diet, or do they just eat whatever and not worry much about it.

Living here in the states has made me a little soft around the middle. It has also given me bad eating habits, i like large meals, with a full belly, and eating out all the time, i've been paying for it lately. I'm planning to go to Thailand and train full time at a gym, but i'm worried i'll get fat off of all the delicious Thai cuisine.

I doubt i will with all the training though. How do those Thais stay so darn skinny? Plz don't tell me it's mostly cause of poverty, cause that is damn depressing lol.

oh thanks I learned a lot, and I was pretty ignorant about modern Thai culture, by going to Thailand I'm gonna learn a lot, I was pretty ignorant about my culture until I went to live in Zacatecas,Mexico when I was 8, the ironic thing is Mexico has some of the same Image problems,people think it's a poor place every where but if you go to major cities you see big buildings and modern american culture,cities like Zacatecas,Guadalajara,Acapulco,Mexico D.f etc.

 

[Lunch Box]

No problem and it's refreshing to know that you're open minded. You seem like a focused individual and I hope you body-bag everyone you fight.

 

[Madevilz]

Pinoy, if you are training twice a day, you'd really need to eat a whole lot to gain any weight. Id be more worried for those who are afraid of losing weight lol! Im a big eater, but with the training schedule (and sleeping schedule lol) I only eat 3-4 moderate meals a day and that includes a protein shake.

 

[Retrospect]

this is a serious question are the toilets like u.s toilets or squat toilets?.
edit: or MExican toilets where you have to pour a 5 gallon bucket on the toilet so it flushes.

In majority places including public places you have to squat..so practice before you go haha

I took a shit once at shell gas station and it didn't hit the target LOL, luckily there was no one waiting

I don't know about MT camp, I guess you can email them

 

[ECS123]

Man, you guys are brutal. Stop scaring the poor guy who is worried about going to the bathroom. :icon_lol: I have to admit though the guy who said, practice before you go, that was pretty damn funny.

Only 105 days and counting for me. Did I say 105 days, I meant 104 1/2 days, not that I am counting or anything. :icon_chee

A picture is worth a thousand words: Bangkok Day and Night.

 

[thaimuaythai]

There is quite a number of uninformed posts in these last pages.

Thai ladies do pair up with farangs often. I have spoken to a number of thai ladies, and 100% of them agree that Thai males Jao Chu or womanise. So Farangs are Jao Chu + Have Ngern, Khon Thais are Jao Chu Dair Mai Koi mee ngern, so who you think they will chose.

Rubbhish. in 90 per cent of public places you do not have to squat, unless you are at a Thai traditional MT camp in some village.

Andfood wise certain people cannot stomach the Thai herbs, so you may find them yucky instead of delicious.

Say in usa, the steak may be added with just 1 seasoning, pepper. Or fries with chilli sauce. But typically, 1 Thai Dish iscooked with 4-5 funny herbs.

If you have any questions, you can ask me. I have been to most parts of Thailand

 

[thaimuaythai]

Opps..Ngern is money, and Mai Koi Mee Ngern means do not have so much money

 

[Payak]

most places dont squat but most do have a bin to place your used paper as it wont flush to well.
come up north,we dont even have toilet paper,just my right hand.
my mothers farm never even had a toilet at all,thats what the jungles for.
but dont worry you will find plenty of usa style shitters in bangkok.
squat toilets are better anyway,who wants to sit on a toilet after 1000 other people.
just be careful, i had gas once and shit all over a girls toilet wall.

 

[Pinoy Badboy**]

Your right hand...with the help of some water right?

 

[thaimuaythai]

I think Payak meant his left. Oh man, thinking about shaking hands.

 

[thaimuaythai]

But I still cannot think of a way to deal with the dogs.

Once at night, I was riding a bicycle. This gigantic dog about half my size came running up to me from the side. I almost fell into the drain. I wonder whether it would have gone on and bit me if I fell.

 

[Payak]

using water to clean your ass is cleaner then paper, you would not use paper alone to clean shit off your body so why use it on your ass.
if shit gets on you the first thing you do is go for water.
after, you clean your hand with soap,no problem.
the problem with squat toilets is most farang cannot squat low.

 

[gotobread]

I've spent plenty of time in Bangkok and in Phuket and have only seen squat toilets in the Tokyo airport on my way there.

And as far as the hoses go, once you get used to them, they're infinitely superior to toilet paper. I love them. Funny how the more "modern" solution (septic systems capable of dealing with non-human waset) isn't always the better one.

 

[Payak]

you have never seen a squat toilet in bangkok.
there are still alot of them, where did you stay,the hilton.
chatachuk market still has a mix of both squat and western toilets.
don't tell me you never went to that market,if not you should.
my old apartment had a squat,had to put a leg on either side of the toilet to have a shower,there was no room.
for 2000 bht a month you cant complain.

 

[Pinoy Badboy**]

I hear squat toilets are healthier for your digestive system anyway because it is the natural position for humans to take a crap. It gets rid of everything when you squat.

 

[Madevilz]

I used to squat even on western toilets when I was young (dead serious)

 

[Payak]

i remember my brother squatting in our farm when young.
i saw a snake right under him, not like i was watching him,just saw the movement out of the corner of my eye.
he had no idea, i shouted snake,he said shut up fool.
looked down then turned white and tried to run.
now theres a lesson here,you cannot run until you pull your pants up.

 

[Madevilz]

Tell me Payak... I just lent my trainer a handful of money, 3500 bath to be exact, because he owes it to some people and didnt want his wife to know. Said he has the money, but couldnt withdraw today or else his wife would see it. He promised to pay back in 4 days, I couldnt say no. Was I stupid to do such a thing?
