When I think of prostitution in SE Asia I remember this movie

All this talk of Bang-cock has got me remembering and smiling this morning....
 

This type of thread is an extremely good idea. It's not easy to quickly and easily find information on the escorting scene in exotic destinations. Tristan, thank you so much for posting this.

thanks Tristan for your travel review. I think you could have another career to add to your busy resume.

Outstanding report Mr. Baldwin...Fascinating environment. Makes me sorta glad that I live in these United States. We take the good with the bad here, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. No emails please...just my humble opinion.
 
Safe travels my friend, and enjoy!!!

(For Escorts and Clients alike; take this as you will...)
 
Since it seemed like the type of unusual place that not so many of the guys on this board visit, I thought I'd take a few moments to share some of my experiences here, and keep guys from either making an expensive mistake / going into something knowing what it will be and what it WON'T...so they can concentrate on having a vacation, etc.
 
First- getting here is not going to be one of the cheaper destinations you'll find. Expect to find it around 800-1300 USD, from most places in the US, economy. Had a ticket set up from BDL(Bradley field in Connecticut, our small little airport), for just over $1000 to Hong Kong...so I looked up how much it'd be to make it multi-city, and stop off in Singapore for a time- only increased the price by $160 and change. So I would NOT do this place as a 'standalone' destination, but rather as part of a larger Asia itinerary.
 
Second- Hotels. No offense to the clients from Singapore that might be on this page; but they are very picky about the location of hotels. If you grab a place down by Sentosa Island(the resort area), you'll be too far away...even though the Metro out in Singapore is phenomenal. It'd be like staying out in Oakland, while you advertise in San Francisco- there are going to be a majority of people who just can't or don't wanna swing the trip. Also, you might find a great deal on Orchard Road or in the Geylang area of town on a four star hotel- but believe it or not, some clients are gonna find those locations unsatisfactory as there is female prostitution going on nearby(Case and point- for one day of my trip I was staying at the 4.5 star[believe me, it was NICE] Orchard Hotel, on Orchard Road. Right next door is the infamous 3 star 'Orchard Towers', also known as 'Four Floors of Whores'- where there are probably 400 female or transgender prostitutes randomly rolling around.) Many clients didn't wanna be anywhere near that. Also...if you grab too 'boutique-y' of a hotel, security at the front desk is most certainly going to wonder what is going on, as almost every hotel had the dreaded keycard-activated elevators. You'll have to do alot of tapdancing to stay off the radar screen.
 
Transportation- As discussed above, the MTR is phenomenal and everything worth seeing is pretty much a few blocks off the line. For those of you fitness guys out there, a great way to see singapore is to wake up decently early- like 630/7AM, and go for a walk or a run, several miles each day- and divide the city center up into quadrants and really walk and run across it all. The hustle and bustle and crowds don't start till 9 / 10AM, so you'll be on pretty vacant streets.
 
Food- American food brands will be ultra expensive out here. For a mixed drink and a pizza at California Pizza Kitchen(on the final day of the trip I was craving a taste of home)- it was the equivalent of $42.00 US. (Frame of reference- roughly 1.4- 1.5 SGD for every 1 USD.). There aren't a ton of huge grocery stores(called 'Cold Storage') here, there will be lines even getting into small places like 7-11's. The majority of people in Singapore stock up once or twice a month, then eat out quite a great deal. There are places like 'Lau Pa Sat'- an open market with all sorts of food stalls where you'll get chicken, race, soup or a small salad/vegetables for literally 5 SGD- 4 bucks US. Portions are just a hair smaller then US portions so I found myself eating more meals a day. Probably a good thing in the long run.
 
OHHHHHHHHHH- very good piece of advice here from a west coast client/friend in San Francisco- bring Rolaids, Tums, or some other sodium bicarbonate or bismuth/antacids or whatever it's called, to nullify the effects of all the spicy foods and stuff you aren't used to. In addition- medicinal charcoal is available cheap in the pharmacies to help food poisoning, as is 'arsenicum', something available at health stores here in the US- it'll help get used to the food.
 
Alcohol- very expensive here, if you are a drinker...buy it at the duty free at the airport and bring it in with you, otherwise, you'll get SHELLED.
 
Clients- VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY(Did I say VERY?) Conservative. They won't even wanna be seen on an open street with you...for fear of getting spotted or labeled or judged. Most have never done this before or very infrequently, so it'll require a massive degree of patience to deal with them. Also, because of language barriers(even though English is the working language over there), you'll want to kind of identify how long you're going to be playing for, several times over. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a clock watcher- I always try and give tons of extra time...but alot of the younger clients here(another reason I don't prefer young clients; they don't understand the nature of this), seem to think they have you for the night. Perhaps that's because the female prostitution here is on that same level- by the night vs shorter session? I literally had a kid show up in my room and start unpacking clothes and opening my drawers and putting his stuff into them-(AT 6PM AT NIGHT MIND YOU), and I'm kinda like..."..Umm..what are you doing...?"- and his response in broken english(he was Indonesian vs. true Singaporean) was "I'm just making room so we have for space for our night together". LOL. Again, this is why I don't go for the young ones- they'd hard enough in the English culture let alone overseas.
 
Sights- Marina Bay Sands is an absolute MARVEL of construction. However, to see the full thing up top(A park, pools, mega beautiful...built like 65 stories up..), you have to be a guest there. Otherwise, it costs about $16 US to go up the elevators just to see the observation deck. In my opinion, kind of a waste- if I could get a room there for $250, I would have rather paid the 250 to see the entire thing, vs. just the 16 to see the observation deck. Problem is, thing was SOLD OUT. I kid you not, not even listing prices on Priceline; all three towers SOLD to the brim. Asian gamblers primarily from all over the Orient, with serious $.
 
Gay culture- About 4 gay bars in the entire fucking city, with none of them having nice terraces or anything outdoors to enjoy the temperate weather- all closed door cement ugliness to 'hide' what is within. A shame.
 
Just waking up and adjusting to the time change here on the East Coast, but I just thought I'd jot down some thoughts.

Or just send it to ME, i'll make good use of it !

You are making very general comments that may, or may not, apply to every case.
 
For example, I have had several sharp disagreements with MrMiniver. Only other people can judge if I went too far.

I agree to some extent. But, regrets and conflicts are part of life. Posting problems here (as people have probably done since the beginning of this site) may be particularly helpful for escorts who travel frequently and spend little time at home.

"There's only two places for dirty laundry, in the hamper or in the washer"

LOL.
 
Well Jock, let's be real here, baby - as much I would love to let haters have it like these women displayed in your post, I still need to uphold myself as a classy guy no matter what anyone says or think about me negatively anymore.
 
I have learned at this point in my life to just let people say what they're gonna say, and move on as it isn't worth the headache and hassle to debate with people who are out to intentionally hurt others for whatever reason that is irrelevant and petty.
 
I know I am a genuine person with a good, and kind heart - that's all that matters. I have faults as well, and not perfect in anyway, but I'm one who don't believe in potentially hurting people just for the sake of proving a point to myself. It's not in my nature to do so, and could never see myself acting out like these women(even though you may wanna give a mean-girl a piece of your mind when they get out of hand), but then again, gotta remain a man of class.

I Imagine Your friend being like this...

JD did not have any choice. He had to defend himself against several attacks.

Very true indeed. Thanks for pointing that out. William. Appreciate it.

We may have heard it before, but it is only one side of the story. And a"story' was written after the two people are no longer friends, and not necessarily by JD's choice.

Many people who navigate the business world know that it's unwise to let aspects of your personal life leak out. For the simple reason it can be used against you in some way some how at any point in time. It's the same here, but worse. You're letting someone in on your secrets who's job it is to entertain people, that means talking, that means potentially talking about YOU. I don't think escort 2 escort confidentiality is well practiced or even on the radar of some. I always operate under this rule: believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see. Unless I have a beyond horrible encounter with another guy, that's either dangerous or bizarre, I'm neutral on commenting on someone. If you're smart, you'll realize the only motive someone has for trash talking another escort is to keep them from getting one more client. The end.

Thanks Killian - you and Dom's post give me an idea being I like how you formulate and separate who are your "real" friends and who are more associates.
 
Honestly, I need to start screening who I call friends more carefully, and not be so much of an open book when it comes to just accepting anyone as a "friend" in my life.
 
I'm starting to realize not everybody is meant to a friend or have the qualities of what you looking for in one. True friendship develope over time, even years in order to determine if they're a good fit in that department.
 
So, maybe it's good for from now on to just ease up on accepting anyone as a friend.
 
Good post you guys. Very beneficial. .

I'm right there with you dominiking. I only have two guys in my life who are working boys that I can truly call my friends. One doesn't even live in this country. I can honesty say I don't have any issues like these and haven't had any in a very long time. I agree that keeping people at a friendly distance is the best way to stay out of getting caught up in any drama, and we all know how easy getting caught up can be.

You made him aware of how annoying his behavior is - now is time for Behavior Modification.
Modify a canine Shock Collar and lock it around his cock and balls - and everytime he starts to brag --- ZAP HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you should always remember is that a client is just as human as you are, JD, and he can be convinced of a lie about you if your "friend" escort sounds sincere enough. The very idea that an escort may be addicted to drugs is enough to make some clients shy away from any interaction with you, even though he might never have even thought of the possibility that you might be on meth until this "friend" of yours convinced him.
 
In this instance, the client became unhappy with the escort, decided to hire you again, and cleared the air with you about the accusations. Although you may be disappointed that the client could not see through your "friend's" lies, I don't think that's the best reason for dismissing your client completely. Drop your so called escort "friend" - absolutely, but give your client another chance. If you do that, you just might have a faithful client for life, or until you decide to leave the business! JMHO

You might ask yourself why you consider him to be a close friend, or reevaluate your definition of the term.

Hey Buddy,
 
Long time no see. Everything you have said makes sense, and will think long and hard about what you said which is dead on correct to what I've been feeling about my friend, and his "compensation behavior". ;)
 

 
The reason I was considering on dismissing the client is because I know it was true as to why he stopped seeing me being he admitted he took in what told him for which he should know I don't do drugs, and it was wrong for my client to dismiss in a arrogant manner like he did by voiding me. I feel at this point he is only seeing me on the count of my friend making him uncomfortable in they're past meetings with his unprofessionalism bragging. If it wasn't for my friend failing him - he wouldn't be seeing me right now til this day. .
 
However, I get what your saying and will consider your advice, and words of wisdom which are good points and quite informative.
 
Hugs,

You guys are not going to believe this as I am so pissed off beyond belief at this point - I just finished an overnight session with long-term client of 6 years just now, and come to find out that my "so-called" close friend has actually been trashing other escorts(including me) telling my client that I'm a drug and meth addict. The client wanted a 3-way session, and asked if I knew anyone who I can bring on board, so I recommended my friend to join in the mix who was happening to be visiting me in LA at the time.
 
The client admitted to me he saw my friend in Nebraska for a one-on-one session about 2 months ago for an overnight session, and supposedly this is when my friend told the client I was a drug addict. I told the client to prove that my so-called friend was lying I would be more than happy to take a drug test, and have the results to him by Tuesday. The client felt that wasn't necessary and have decided to dismiss seeing my friend at this point seeing he is cut-throat and territorial. Basically to have the client turn on me so he can have FULL access to the client.
 
My client opened up, and stated during our conversation he was turned off how high-maintenance my friend was by shelling around of his past life with his ex-lover, and told him things that appeared he was bragging or trying to present himself as a one of a kind escort that everyone wants cause he has a big penis.
 
I am highly upset to have found this out being I never said bad things about my friend to any client, and was the one who introduced him, and referred him to the client, and this is how he treats me in the end - by backstabbing me, and lying to the client that I'm a drug addict. Oh no!! I'm officially through with this bastard. What he did was horrible and highly unprofessional.
 
I guess this is what I get being around people who are full of themselves like he is. .
 
Honestly I think I am done with my friend seeing now he's slandering me costing me clients I recommend to him. I was informed by the client he voided from seeing me somewhat based on what my friend told him. That's ashame being now I don't care to see the client anymore cause of the fact he dismissed me on the count of what another escort(he's known for a lesser time) has said to him that wasn't true.
 
The only reason the client decided to see me again (from what I gathered) is due to the fact my friend pissed him off in someway, so now he wants to resume seeing me again, and I don't know if I'm comfortable with seeing the client again after finding out he turned on me based on a lie. My client should know better to believe(after knowing me for over 6 years) that I'm not a drug addict or thief.
 
I just hope I'm doing the right thing by cutting them BOTH loose. . What a swift kick in the groin this is to find out the very friend your unsure of pulls this stunt, and has been stabbing me in the back for while lying to clients on me about my persona as an escort who does drugs.

That's what NURSES are for...... Geesh !
