Heard from my sources/friends who go back SG that budget airlines like Tiger does not include it in the ticket. Which is why it causes alot of inconvenience and problem when everyone thought it was included.

My "need to show" basically means do i have to spoonfeed u or not. Not as if i am going to show u that. In the first place,i do not need to account anything to u,let alone the forum. I am happy being with what i have now. Just like when all said i was back in SG working 8 to 5 accounts job or whatever. I also just like u all say. Until poor me met chao ah qua's good friend one fine day.

Thanks for the replies. I've been on several FAQs on google, and most mentioned that usually 3000 would be more than enough. I mean, I can't judge until I'm there, cos i never know what i might find. Anyways, someone also recommended some massage parlours there.

How does one know which are the ones that allow call out services? I don't want to be embarassed, cos sekali they are damn legit. Lastly, to round up talk here, which is better: Nana/Soi Cowboy/Patpong? In which area can i usually get the best deal for my money for girls that are younger? And also, which bars would one recommend? Thank you.

Yap, NZD$ interest rate even higher than AUS$ but the domestic economy is small. Previous rise was prompted by LOTR which brings in a lot of revenue 2 its tourism & 3D-media industries. The tourism sector dun seem substantial as LOTR buzz slowly cool off (unless Peter Jackson mak something BIG 4 his homeland again). I hav 2 ack I nvr do any deep research on tis as I dun find it "attractive" @ the moment.

ya, can feel a downturn approaching soon. A downturn was previously estimated to be in 2008, but when I was in China in 04 & 05, I estimate it to be getting closer, probably later part of 07.

Market is getting more & more overbought.

***Remember that to tell the girls that you booked, that the money you gave them is your papa and mama's hardearned money. If you tell them that, there is a possibility you can get them to give you some discounts.

SC

ya, Karma will catch up wif u 4 advising pple to tell lies to cheat more $$ from their parents. The parents may give more $$ for a good charitable cause, but the $$ ends up spent on sins, cheonging, totally opposite.

Ya, everyone says $$ is parents' hard-earned $$, then everyone gets discount?

Not that I'm tat noble nor upright, but, if cant afford then dun cheong. "commit more sins", just so as to be able to cheong? go get yr priorities rite!

Agreed as most of the "hot" properties & quick escalation in business activities has 2 do w/ the coming Olympics. E.g. Hevy development in infrastruture in preparation 4 the event bought many business 2 the construction & properties sectors. Tourism oso profited as ppl rush 2 c many old buildings & structures b4 they R all gone & anticpation of the "flood" of audience 4 the event. As the pockets of these sectors' elites gt filled, it start 2 diffuse 2 other business as well, which led 2 ovrspeculation of the entire economy. (Much lik wha Ford 'T' model & "dotcom" @ the turn of tis century)

Though actual slip shld fall oni after the event, we hav witness many times in the stock market tat wha move market is "feel" & nt economics. Market fall & rise in anticipation of actual event & nt wha is actually happening. Tis is especially so when the market has rise seriously abv value which is sustain by punters' "feels". So, if market heads 4 a small dwnfall & ppl start throwing the towel, its will be disasterous, unless chinese govt. steps in (which they might as they hav the means).

Hwevr, those bros who already holding stocks, need nt freak out & start selling yr stocks as no 1 in the whole wrld k tell U exactly when isit going 2 happen though some of us may "guess rite". As lng as U hav,
i) Research yr stock(s) b4 U invest & understand its instrintic & growth
value
ii) Is nt going 2 retire in the near future or anticpating a need of $$ soon

As china & emerging markets, as well as developed ecnomies, lik E.U still hav potential 2 develop further which will bring U ~10%/annual (after tax & inflation) growth as lng as U R holding stocks of "solid growth" value vs "hot picks of the moment" & stay lng enough in the market 2 "avg." things out.

Its kind of lik those dancing (isit cha cha?), e.g.
Notice, hw sum of all "advances" will always outstrip sum of all "retreats"?
i) 3 steps 4fwd, 1 step bkwrd
i) 3 steps 4fwd, 1 step bkwrd
i) 5 steps 4fwd, 3 step bkwrd
(Note, nt neccessary in tis order, jus 2 illustrate my pts)


P.S
I actually predict it during Jun last yr but it happened a mth earlier & it was more of a major correction than a bear which I wld attribute it 2 the "dotcom" which disrupt the "10-yr" cycle. Since, it didn't drop as much as I anticpated after nearly a mth, I expected it 2 climb bk up 2 3000 pts which it almost did (2900++) b4 (I tk it will) heavily correct in 1~2 yrs time (but I tk wun be 2 disasterous as a result).

Buy on rumour, sell on fact & vice versa. So, some bigger players juz need to trigger a spike (up or down), then use the market forces' strength as a form of support, playing with market sentiments / emotions / panic!

As the saying goes, "sell in May & go away!". Jun is traditional a rather quiet month.

1 thing I 4gt 2 mention, is tat lot of hotels in BKK req. 2 pay xtra $$ if U bring gals 2 yr hotel rm. Charges differ 4 diff. hotels. U may wish 2 email & chk w/ the hotel itself or list yr hotel here 4 bro who may knw 2 post the rate.

Yap, I oso paid between B$2.5k~B$3.5k, depending on where & "grade" of the gals. Oso, oso depend on yr attitude, if U appear 2 gullible & desire oni her, of cse, they wun be "pai say" 2 chop U (i mean wallet) apart!!

LT is after they knock off but I dun knw the exact time as it varies greatly, depending if the gal wk AM or PM shift. They will lve ard 6~9am in the morning (after giving U a "morning jab" which is depend on yr stamina) though some w/ (bao yang) bfs or parents visiting them will lve even earlier (~4am?).

Practically, everwhere oso gt SYT, oni diff. is their charges differ greatly due 2 location. w/ yr budget, I wld advise U 2 cheong oni Nana area or Khao San Rd. Khao San Rd hav a lot of beerladies who R SYT & charge cheaply.

If U lik SYT, why nt try 2 chat them up @ places near MBK or Khao San (since U k speak fluent Thai)? A lot of them R FLs or lking 4 a lng term foreign bf 2 supplement their pocket $$. Jus dun behave lik a "horny asshole" (nt scolding U, pls dun gt offended) esp when U dun knw their inclination. Tis 1 surely dun need me 2 teach U since kids these days R more happening than us.

A lot of MP hav "xtra svc". Jus pop in, if there's a Papasan who come & entertain U, cfm there is (but mus rem 2 tip him as well ). Wld nt advise U 2 go MP as they cost more $$ while lks & svc is nt guarantee. Nt 2 mentioned it totally dun fits in2 yr budget.

Think your sarcasm maybe lost on this young man... =

Thanks all for the responses. Yeap, as mentioned in the other posts, i genuinely could use information so I could be mentally prepared when I head there. As for my money, my intention was never to steal or ask for more - i basically asked for advise, if i could merely squeeze in the services at a certain budget. Sorry if any of you misinterpreted that.

For all those bros who think that others are spoonfeeding me, well, my apologies. It's because i had no experience that's why I am asking, because i wouldn't be asking something that i know to irritate people wouldn't I? Moreover, i just needed to be sure, because its a lot of money involved, and i want to make the best use of it, rather than go there and swayed unknowingly. So i hope you all can change your impression towards my intentions are pardon my posts.

Warmest Regards.
