Whenever someone tells me they're going to Thailand, my first thought is, "Pervert"

[HEyHEY]

It's a total kneejerk reaction. Anyone else?

[DS1]

1. Rambo?

[Elidor]

2. So...

How many times have you been there?

[HEyHEY]

5. Never, but anytime you hear "thailand" and "tourism" the term "Underaged prostitute" usually follows

In the news.

[AlCzervik]

3. i think "Thai food, i love thai food"

[JVS]

4. My first thought is "Awesome"

I assume they're there for the Opium and legitimate of age whores. Kickboxing too.

[HEyHEY]

6. Hmm... come to think of it, why haven't I been yet?

[JVS]

12. This one sounds like trouble, you’re going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over

And my first advice is that you should rent a very fast car with no top. This blows my weekend, because naturally I’ll have to go with you. And we’ll have to arm ourselves.

[HEyHEY]

20. To the TEETH

[Schema Thing]

8. mmmmm, Opium.

[JVS]

15. You'll feel like the fucking king of Siam!

[Parche]

7. Their Capital Is Bang Cock

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

[dolo amber]

10. There's a restaurant in Chicago called the Bangkok Inn

:o

No joke. :D

[SeattleGirl]

9. Then I guess my daughter is a pervert -- she's going to Thailand in

August. :wow:

[bikebloke]

11. I passed through.

Amongst backpackers, there was a convergence of travellers heading east and those heading west. For those of us who just came through India, Nepal and Burma it seemed very modern. It was fun to watch the westerners with their Thai "girlfriends" - for the day. The druggie backpackers were paranoid due to the death by machine gun penalty if caught.

No I didn't partake. There was a Swedish lass I met briefly in Calcutta and ran into. We were negotiating travelling together. Alas, our plans and tickets sent us in different directions.

[LisaM]

13. It's funny you say that. A guy from our book club goes there for a few months each year

and from the reports and pictures he sends, I really have my suspicions about why he goes. I know he lives in a house with prostitutes (claims that their services are off limits to him), but a picture he showed us from a restaurant with a couple of really young girls who, he claimed, sat at his table so they wouldn't get carted out, raised some serious red flags. I don't feel totally comfortable around him now. He is ten or twelve years older than I and WAY older than the girls in the picture. He seems addicted to Thailand.

[JVS]

14. Never believe anyone who claims to just be room-mates with a house full of prostitutes.

[LisaM]

17. LOL, well I said "CLAIMS"......

I can't help it, he creeps me out now. It doesn't help that he's going grey and he's got great big tufty grey eyebrows, and wears his shirt a little unbuttoned and there's a big grey tuft of chest hair, too! I guess I admire that he's not making a concession to age, but it points out the age difference with the people in his picture much more dramatically.

[HEyHEY]

19. HAHA no shit!

[ceile]

16. I think "which island?"

My sis and her family spend a few weeks every year on Pei Pei Island. Stunning.

[Blue_Tires]

18. up until i was in high school, i always thought

it was pronounced "THIGH-land"...

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Ha. Funny that you say that.

I have a neighbor who goes every month and he's a raging slut.

[tigereye]

22. that the food is astounding and the people very kind...

well, except for those pimps that you are talking about.... :scared: :grr:

[IronLionZion]

23. As if there's nothing else in the whole motherfucking country

Dude :wtf:

I've had family members go there on their honeymoons with their newly-wed wives. I know several women who have gone there. My girlfriend has lived there briefly. I've always wanted to go and plan to someday.

Sometimes, YOU are the pervert for having those thoughts in your mind.

[HEyHEY]

25. I didn't say I believed they were perverts - I said it was a kneejerk reaction

Kinda like yours

[IronLionZion]

26. My knee-jerk reaction is that some westerners have an elitist superiority complex

over other countries. People travel to Vancouver for a good time too.

[HEyHEY]

27. It has nothing to do with elitism

It just has to do with a kneejerk reaction due to the kind of media attention thailand receives.

[IronLionZion]

30. OK

:hi:

[5LeavesLeft]

24. I remember the good old days

when going to Thailand meant you were going to get some really, really good weed. Kids today ain't got no respect.

[unpossibles]

28. as someone who LOVES Thai food, no

the first thing I think is YUM!

[cloudbase]

29. It's only perverted if I don't do it.

[grannylib]

31. My first thought is, "Oh man, what great food!" And then I think of

shopping :-) Fabrics and jewelry and local trinkets. I love that kind of stuff.

[pitohui]

32. i knew someone who went there for medical care

and i may do the same myself one of these fine days so no...

[oedura]

33. You sound like you've been watching too much Chris Hansen. (nt)

...

[leeroysphitz]

34. I always think of Chess tournaments or something...
