up until recently i didnt even know there where mosquitoes in Thailand. As far as i am aware i have never been bitten or noticed myself getting bitten. That include my backpacking days. Maybe they no like me?

I did that one 30 minute treatment where they put some kind of acid on your teeth then blast them with some kind of blue light. My teeth got really white but the effect seem to have worn out after about 5 months. My teeth was a bit sore for a couple of days but not enough to stop me from drinking couple of hours after the treatment. Cost me 7000 bath including cleaning.

This is an interesting thread. In Sweden i have a low threshold for abuse, and will confront and provoke anyone that tries to bully me in private or in my workplace. Granted this may not be a very good trait to have, but at least it gives me some sense of satisfaction. On my first trips to Thailand as a 20year old backpacker i had no idea how to talk or treat the locals, and frequently got in to various arguments and minor skirmishes. I had never read any of the forums or heard the stories about tourists getting gunned down and it was frankly more fun. If someone was obviously trying to screw me over i could tell them to fuck off and be as nasty as i wanted to be. If push came to shove, then so be it. Now i find myself worrying about people losing face and being generally paranoid about bargirls and their boyfriends/dj:s etc. I know the thai insults that they throw at us thinking we wont understand, stuff like that takes some of the fun away. Whats even more funny is that the bargirls know that we are scared shitless and try to capitalize on it. One girls who shall remain anonymous from FLB though i was a first timer and told me that pattaya is a very dangerous place, and that she will come with me so that i wont get in to any trouble. I laughed in her face and left. I have also had arguments with bargirls that has threatened me with the classic "i get thai man here, he dangerous" for no good reason. Preying on my insecurities is ok, but praying on my supposed fear pisses me off to the verge of frenzy. Well thats how it is everywhere i guess, they have the home court advantage. I would just fucking love to have one of those taxi drivers try to pull shit like that on me and my mates back home. /end rant.
