Well I have to say I had a pretty awkward date last night. It seems that somehow my iphone calls were being forwarded to a girl that I had a one night stand with last week. I am not totally sure if she did it, or if I was somehow so drunk that I accidentally did it. Needless to say, the girl I met from thailfriendly said she talked with the chick for like 10-15 minutes and the chick was talking about how big of a playboy I was and how many girlfriends I had (maybe she got a lot of calls meant for me?). The good news is the chick on the date did not care because she wanted to learn english and is moving to the United States. I think the biggest obstacle with her is going to be the fact that she is very conservative - she does not even drink alcohol.
I would bet money the Thai girl set up your phone to redirect to hers, it's exactly the sort of thing a Thai girl would do. I told the story on here about how a Thai girl found out something that happened last time I was in Thailand, she went digging around the net and found an article some idiot wrote about me 3 years ago. I never knew the article existed, it was written based on a blog post I made at the time (then deleted one month later as I didn't want it online) and was very hard to find, didn't show up when googling any of the obvious things you'd google to find out about someone, so she'd obviously done some serious digging to find it. I couldn't even find the article she was talking about and had to ask exactly how she found it, when she showed me it was all a bit strange and not just some casual search she decided to do, proper investigative shit. They are possessive and suspicious of any foreigner who comes here and are sure you're up to no good...and they're right really aren't they.

Hmm. Can't decide between Koh Samui and BKK, might have to split it up between both...
I never went to Samui as everyone I met said compared to the other islands Samui is a bit shit and aimed at older people, couples, has the biggest sex tourist scene on that side of the coast and was stupidly over built and expensive. Ko Tao was nice, Ko Pah Ngan I didn't rate much.

Just out of curiosity, as I am guessing a number of you use thaifriendly, are any of you posting on the wall of the girls' profile? I have been curious as to whether or not that would give better responses.
I signed up for it months ago before I came here but then forgot all about it and never sent any messages, logged back on when someone mentioned it the other day and saw I had a load of messages. Missed opportunities perhaps. When using the other day I couldn't send anymore than one message every 10 minutes because I've not paid for a membership so I just browsed and clicked "show interest" on all the cute girls profiles that showed up on the first page and when I checked it just now I had about 20 messages from them saying thanks for showing an interest and asking me questions, some sending numbers and welcoming me to BKK. I might stick my number up on my profile and just use the "show interest" method, and have my profile say to call me if interested as I don't use the site much. Either that or pay for a membership and send all those girls who've sent me messages my number. I can't really be bothered investing much time in internet dating now I'm here but seems to be a lot of good looking girls on it so no point in ignoring it all together.

And ya in regards to the flakiness of thai girls, I think it really depends on the girl. Some are really conservative, especially some you meet online
It's been different for me, most of the girls I pipelined before I came here did not flake on me (I flaked on some of them due to too many offers) and nearly all I met were up for spending the night with me on the first date.

i have met girls who do not even drink alcohol (good luck gettin a ons then haha).
Thankfully all I've met drank alcohol though one I went on a date with didn't want to because she was sick and it resulted in a very dull date.

Right now I am pretty much on the second or third message straight up asking if they want to grab drinks on a night during the week to weed out the more conservative ones.
I made it clear from the start I wanted to meet girls who were up for partying. I'd always mention in my message I loved going out for dinner and drinks then onto clubs and live music places. Any girl who wasn't interested in that I didn't spend much more time on sending messages to. Though some say they don't really go out drinking but when I asked if they wanted to anyway they agreed.

For you bangkok veterans, when you meet a girl from thaifriendly for the first date, where are some good lounges to meet for a drink? Money is not really that big an issue for me but I was looking for some ideas. I was thinking Muse, but I have never been there and I was wondering if it might be a little too busy.
I don't really know what classifies as a 'lounge'? Muse however is a club and it's often packed, very busy and very noisy (live rock music). Last time I went the waiter ushered me and a friend into a tiny spot near the DJ booth to stand at, could barely move from there it was so busy. They have an upstairs area, one seated place and a balcony area with a pool table but no one was up there at all when we went up.
For dates I like to go to Coco Walk (bars like Retro, Volk Bar or one other I forget the name of) or Hua Chang (Treehouse bar or Taksura I think it's called, there's 3 bars at the same place). They aren't fancy places, quite casual really, but nice enough sit down bars, with live music, good food (the stir fried venison dish at Retro bar is some of the best food I've eaten in Thailand) and the food at Treehouse is nice, every Thai girl I've taken there said they loved the food, one said it compared to her mums cooking. The majority of girls have never been to these bars or tried the venison which I like to order for them. Get a bottle of whisky or rum for a good price too so not a bad spot. Can bounce around the bars on Coco Walk then even walk to Hua Chang afterwards if you still want to continue after that take a short taxi ride to Saxaphone Jazz club which is nearbye, really cool late night spot with live music 7 nights a week.
Alternatively I'll have them meet me near my hotel (it's in Banglumphoo area, walking distance from Kowsan, which for the record I hate) and take them to a intimate blues bar I know where a bottle of Sangsom (small) is 120B, they all seem to love it there. From there bounce them to a few bars on Phra A Thit road which are studenty places with a thai crowd and live music and then either back to my hotel or onto Brick Bar (live Thai ska music band that people go wild to, no dancing round tables here dancing ON tables).
I'm gonna check out that Korean restaurant this week I think, sounds good and not too pricey. Think I'll take one of my regular dates there to see what it's like first then if it's good I'll take a new girl back.
