Re: tazers and mace?
First time in SEA in 2010 i bought a extendable baton in patong and carried it by land up to vientiane, through to hanoi by bus, all the way down to HCMC by train then to SNV where it was stolen by a fellow backpacker...frank lee bent wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 9:58 am do not carry these across borders.
you can get them cheap at big markets here.
i have never even thought about owning one, you are not likely to run into a situation where you would need it unless you are stumbling around at drunk AM in a seedy area.
This or a drum stick is good self defence against wild dogs which i was continually confronted by in Kampot, SNV -Otres route, otres village, Bangkok back streets, around provincial thai bus stations.

Re: tazers and mace?
could say the same about almost any product not being the only wayDuncan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 2:30 pm Everyone has been brainwashed into thinking that pepper spray or mace is the weapon of choice, when there are hundreds of other items that can do the
job just as effective if sprayed into the eyes, and they can be bought at any 7/11 or supermarket. Dont believe me,,, put some chlorine or even lemon juice in one of these spray bottle and test it in your self, or your neighbor's dog.
I doubt if any of them are illegal to carry around.
those cleaning products for example can be replaced with vinegar
its not required to call other brainwashed over it
convenience counts too
cant tell if this forum is that monty python sketch of the "room for an argument" or just too much boredom in the sun

I’ve got a cute diamanté studded blue taser, it looks like a perfume atomiser, bought at central market for about $6 I think.

Re: tazers and mace?
there is a huge unserviced market for geezer handcrafted walking sticks with electrodes in the business end.
the cattle prod specs would certainly make an attacker desist
and a good long stick is effective by itself

I have an ASP baton i brought in from South Africa that I carry everywhere. I’ve only seen cheap crappy ones available for sale here.chorlton wrote:id like an asp
are they available & legal to carry?
The police (criminal, traffic, military) here have had no issue with me carrying it...
