Oh yeah! that one. I wonder what he carries in that leather thing that he always has it with him -even when going to go-gos and RTs. Could he be dealing something? Maybe we should check next time he leaves it behind to go to the toilet.

Any advice would be appreciated, as the extent of my knowledge of Bangkok consists of a few drunken nights in Pat Pong...
I also think I've been in the Thermae a couple of times, but I'm not sure.

Thermae!!  I never never never go there. Last time was many monkey years ago.
Carlos, pick a victim and send him a PM offering him free beers. These guys are all willing to lieave behind their Gfs for a free beer and the chance to chase another prospect. Meet your victim early in the night... and most likely by the end of the night, following his lead you would have ran into other forum bros. Have local phone number so that you can get the other guys numbers and there you go... now you are on a networking spree. After some such good networking by a few, some who are not local seem at times more local than the locals -we see them more often.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Saturday 28 July 2007 :-
Gorging on deadly diets
==================
About 38 million Thais risk heart disease and shorter life spans if they do not change their lifestyles and diets.
If Public Health Minister Mongkol Na Songkhla has a sweet tooth, he wasn't showing it this week as he took aim at a tasty new target.
Well-known for his battles to curb alcohol abuse and his readiness to invoke compulsory licensing to make sophisticated drugs affordable, the crusading doctor has now declared war on those who gorge on snacks, fatty fast food and fizzy soft drinks.
Dr Mongkol says that about 38 million Thais are at risk of coronary heart disease and shorter life spans if they do not change their lifestyles and diets and avoid food that is too salty, sweet or fatty. His diagnosis is correct. Obesity-linked diseases are becoming a major global health concern and cause misery and hardship. They also exact a heavy economic toll and are a crushing burden on healthcare resources.
The minister's remedy is as bitter as it is controversial. He recommends pricing non-nutritious food out of easy reach by imposing hefty consumption taxes. This tax calculation would be based on the sugar ratio and nutritionists would advise which foods were harmful to health. The assumption is that consumers would baulk at the higher prices and reduce their health risks by turning to cheaper and more nutritious food, preferably replacing sugar with natural sweeteners in traditional Thai desserts.
There are several basic problems with this approach. The sin taxes already being imposed on alcoholic drinks, tobacco and other official vices might have swollen the government's coffers, but their deterrent value has been questionable. Nor are they particularly fair because this type of tax always hurts the poor far more than it does the rich. And is it really the government's job to be using tax coercion to get people to eat what the authorities decide is appropriate for them? The minister's proposal is not about to be rushed through as a bill and eagerly rubber-stamped by the National Legislative Assembly. It is a recommendation on how the next government should tackle the issue which the minister has thrown open for debate. This recognition that we have a serious problem and that the stakes are high is an important first step. Health Ministry figures show trouble ahead. There has been an eight-fold increase in sugar consumption since 1995. Add to this the fact that people are spending more time in front of computer and TV screens and less in getting exercise and you not only have the ingredients for expanding waistlines, you have the root cause of the epidemic of diabetes which is exploding faster in Thailand and other parts of Asia than in any other region in the world. The World Health Organisation says diabetes cases in Asia will rise by 90% in the next 20 years and that this silent killer - and its related disorders such as heart disease - will constitute the 21st century's biggest health crisis.
Unfortunately, there is no simple solution. Sweden has already imposed consumption taxes on sugary and fatty foods along the lines suggested by Dr Mongkol, while South Korea has introduced a back-to-basics campaign by promoting traditional foods. Singapore has gone for more organised exercise in schools and Britain is toying with traffic-light colour coding on packaged foods.
There are educational awareness schemes targeting students in the classroom and sedentary TV viewers. Most hard-hit countries, including Thailand, have limited the availability of drinks containing more than 5% of sugar and outlawed junk food on school premises, although many have yet to comply. Nutritious lunches with vegetables and fruit take their place, along with plenty of drinking water.
The trouble here is that vendors selling delicacies soaked in grease and syrups high in sugar content are never far away and nor are the trendy fast food gathering places. And vendors are not going to be responsive to consumption taxes.
In all likelihood the solution will be a combination of all these measures backed by a strong willingness by consumers to discipline their diet. We are entering Buddhist Lent on Monday, a time to practise self-control and make merit. Adopting a healthier lifestyle would be a very good start.
