Tiger's mama was Thai. That's what makes it on-topic.

Since he's a golfer, I do believe this question answers itself.

Some of those old buzzards may have been Jack Nicklaus or Gary Player or some other former great. As we learned a few years ago when Tiger Woods sterling reputation was destroyed by an avalanche of media stories featuring escort girls and cocktail waitresses, some of these guys are bigger players off the golf course than on it. You know what I mean.

Only Chinese tour groups can provide the answer to this question.

They must be referring to guys who don't put the toilet seat down after taking a whizz.

Let's face it, the most influential business model in Thailand is the Ping Pong Show.

Several years ago, I booked a room at this hotel for 2 weeks to use for ladyboy escapades while my "real" hotel room was several miles away on the riverfront. It was essentially a glorified short time room for me, except it didn't have the sleazy feel of a typical ST room and I only had to check in once. Nana Plaza still had 5 or 6 ladyboy bars open and it was an ideal location to take ladyboys from the gogos. The decor looks pretty much the same today as it did then.

Some good news on this front. The Polaris lounge at ORD reopened in late April. The link below details the renovations. I have a ladyboy trip coming up in a few weeks and I will likely be flying ANA out of Chicago . I can't wait to check this place out. https://thepointsguy.com/news/united-polaris-lounge-chicago/

Years ago, there was a Thai airline that prioritized hiring of LB flight attendants. Some BMs here may remember it. Read the Guardian link first, then read the Wikipedia link to learn the fate of the airline. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jan/17/pc-air-transgender-flight-attendants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.C._Air

It takes 20 - 24 hours to fly from anywhere in the US to Bangkok. You can connect in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul or Taipei. You can choose from several Asian airlines and they all set their flight schedules to accommodate US travelers connecting elsewhere. Most of the layovers are anywhere from 1 hour to 4 or 5 hours. It's the same thing flying east with one of the Arab carriers. Flying west takes 1 to 2 hours longer than flying east due to western winds blowing across the globe. The winds are going to slow you either coming or going to the US. I have been flying thru Asia since the end of Covid. I used to also fly the Arab airlines, but they have gotten way too greedy and you get more bang for the buck from top shelf Asian airlines these days. Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore or ANA - you can't go wrong with any of them. I am normally very cautious with my money but I always fly business class on LB trips because I simply could not handle being crammed into a coach seat for 22 or 24 hours on an airplane. I know most other BMs from the US or Canada do the same for the same reasons.

If you rank the big 3 US airlines, most folks would say United is entrenched in 3rd place. I try to avoid United myself when flying domestically, preferring Delta or AA. That said, I think United's Polaris lounge in Chicago is pretty much on a par some of the best in the world, just one cut below Qatar or Emirates lounges in the Middle East. Last year on a ladyboy trip, I flew ANA biz class out of Chicago, which gave me access to the Polaris lounge at O' Hare. It was far superior to anything ANA had in Tokyo and that's saying something. I was shocked at how good it was. The reason you see middle aged gals working overseas flights is because US age-discrimination law prohibits airlines from dumping flight attendants when they hit 30 or 35 like Asian airlines do and their labor contracts allow them to get the overseas gigs because of their seniority ranking. That's not necessarily a bad thing because while I enjoy being served by a 25 year old cookie on a flight, I would much rather have the older ladies on board in case of an emergency. Same thing with pilots. I want my pilot to be a guy with gray hair who flew in the military, has one zillion hours in the cockpit and likes to go fishing with his grandkids. Absolutely.

Like Nick said, any LB or GG you pick up from the street or out of a bar will know where the nearest short time hotel is. Follow her lead. There is no shortage of cheap hotels in the area, and there won't be any difference among $20 - $30 USD hotel rooms.

You're not missing anything on the KokoroBkk site. Heavily photoshopped girls who aren't nekkid is all they have. FWIW, this place refers to their girls as "product". I wonder what the warranty is on the product if you get saddled with a starfish or a clock-watcher.
