Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
Hi,
I live in Pattaya and came across this Post in a Pattaya Forum:
" Be very careful, and sober, if you fish around Wat Phnom and Riverside "
The thread was about the locations and availability of freelancers in PP. Can someone please elaborate what the dangers are?
I'm going over Easter for a long weekend and have no intentions of spending much time sober. I always check a girls ID if there is any doubt in my mind that she's not at least in her mid twenties to be sure that she's not underage.
What would be better areas to pick up freelancers? Anything to worry about with girls on online dating sites? In Bangkok there is massive police checks regarding drugs, they even search foreigners in the back of taxis etc. Anything in this regard to watch out for?
Thanks

Wat Phnom is indeed one of the cheapest and worst places to pick up a girl,ceoreg123 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:12 pm Hi,

best place is go to 130 or 136 and barfine a girl you like, it will cost you 10U$ extra and concidere it as a "life-insurance". If she fucks you up, its easy to find her back, and she knows, thats whe she wont fuck you up. Riverside, no idea, never been there after darkness (on the opposite of the road), probably same danger but little less and little more expensive. Leave everything in the safe from your room, only take cash with you and dont tell them you are new in town . . .
Enjoy the fun . . .

Re: Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
There was a funny story a few months ago about a Japanese tourist who was on the riverside at 2am. He met a couple of lovely "ladies" and thought he was in luck. They led him to a dark spot where some nice young men were waiting. They took his Rolex, wallet and a $10,000 necklace. Fucking idiot.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
Ok I'm starting to catch the drift... Yea, I don't see myself getting caught up in a situation like that.
What about girls working with cops to bust you and get a cut? Common?
Anything else police related to be on the lookout for?
Best to just stick to the girls from the bars no freelancers in PP?

Re: Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
I walk Riverside most evenings, but usually not very late. Last week was the first time I was approached by a couple of girls (actually quite pretty, to be honest). It. ust have been around 20:00 and it was very busy; but I would absolutely never, ever engage with them; something bad is bound to happen.John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:14 pm There was a funny story a few months ago about a Japanese tourist who was on the riverside at 2am.

Re: Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
Whatever you do, take the girl to the place of your choice, not hers. That way the odds of scam might become manageable, but not zero.ceoreg123 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:29 pm Ok I'm starting to catch the drift... Yea, I don't see myself getting caught up in a situation like that.

Re: Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
Off topic, but I'm really curious ..... Really? Is it really that extreme? Did it happen to you, or do you have some stories? Unbelievable ... It's not that extreme in Cambodia I'd say ...In Bangkok there is massive police checks regarding drugs, they even search foreigners in the back of taxis etc. Anything in this regard to watch out for?
Thanks
Other than that, I don't have much to add ... Except to check out st. 104 as well ... Same rules apply as for 130/136, which Bongmab69 already explained ...

You might get mug in the bars, they are experts in bill falsifications, do not flash large US notes.Bongmab69 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:02 pmWat Phnom is indeed one of the cheapest and worst places to pick up a girl,ceoreg123 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:12 pm Hi,

Re: Riverside/Freelancers dangers?
Its absolutely that extreme in Bkk now. I got pulled over in a Taxi on Sukhumvit in the Asok/Nana area. Major police checkpoint looking into every single car going by in the evening hours. They searched me and had a cop do flips of joy and holding up a 10mg Diazepam tablet he found in my bag yelling: Valium, Valium!! Short time later the chief or whatever showed up and I calmly handed him over my perscription that the other pig could have pulled out of the same compartment of my bag. Was good to go then.daiquiri wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:02 pmOff topic, but I'm really curious ..... Really? Is it really that extreme? Did it happen to you, or do you have some stories?

I could tell they were explicitly looking for drugs and by the way they searched my belongings they knew what they were doing. My friend who lives in bkk says that these checks are very common in certain areas only.
The drug laws are so draconian in Thailand that they can put you behind bars for quite long periods of time if they catch you even with personal use quantities. Cops know they can pretty much ask for however much they want, because if there is any way for you to come up with that money you absolutely will.

Last I knew they sold Valium over the counter in the pharmacies in Thailand.
