Backpacker who actually hike and explore are no problem with me. Those who want to smoke pot across the country are a problem for me. I'm not going to judge anyone's lifestyle choice but I prefer not to be around the trash.
Oh, try telling the Defense Attache's and advisors and their civilian counterparts who are assigned to Pattaya that they are whore mongerers. They have access to a Thai women that the average male tourist to Thailand can only dream about.
Pattaya got it's start due to U-taphao Air Base located just south of Pattaya. It was a B-52 base during the Vietnam war and the beaches of Pattaya was a R&R spot for GIs in Vietnam. That's what attracted the business which has blossomed into what it is today. Try visiting Sisaket and Rayong just outside of Pattaya.
Bottom line, Thailand is much cheaper than Japan. Japan is NOT a destination for anyone wanted to backpac from Hokkaido to Okinawa nor a depraved sex tourist nor those who like to jump to conclusions about other people.

I know Thailand has much more than prostitution because I've been there, spent lots of time and travelled around the country on various different occassions and loved every second of it and have yet to pay to have sex. Incredible country with lots to offer, Pattaya isn't one of those incredible places and it has next to nothing to offer, unless you are a sex tourist.
Most backpackers don't go to Thailand to smoke pot, sure some have a few joints when there and there's nothing wrong with that anyway (drugs should not be illegal especially ones that grow in the ground) but very few solely go there to get stoned because weed isn't *that* easy to get (compared to neighbouring countries) and the penalties are harsh if you get caught. I'd rather be around a bunch of stoners than a bunch of sex tourists any day of the week though.

first i think you should read my book, black passenger yellow cabs: a memoir of exile and excess in japan and 2nd, i think you should stay in school and finish your 4yr degree in any discipline. that way you can get a job teaching english here. its piss easy. a job teaching english here in japan will afford you the opportunity of traveling throughout asia. trust me, ive been living in japan for ten years. amazing place. which is why i just had to write a book about it.

Blackpassenger,
Welcome on board man! It's such a great thing to have you here man. I read, or rather, devoured your book in 2 days, that's how awesome it is. Not only it is hilarious, I love how you refer to "knowing a woman biblically" hilarious stuff man! But it also provides an awesome isnight into the complex J culture and why they are so socially different (for not saying incompetent). I've travelled all around the world but no place blew my mind like Tokyo. I am taking Japanese class this semester at a local college and my plan is to make it to Nihon within a year or so. Are you still in Japan?
Anyone in here thinking about going to Japan, MUST read his book, Black Passenger, yellow cabs. I mentioned it before on this forum and I'm reiterating it again: it's a must read for anyone interested in knowing more about the Japanese psyche and have a good overview of how things are for gaijins (foreigners and especially for Black guys). I think I'm going to re-read it again as I am bored and terribly miss Japan.
Welcome again to the board man and hoping to see you dropping some pure gold nuggets of intel about J-women, swooping them and life in general in Japan.

Holy ****, he's here!
I just bought your book as well and it was one of the best decisions I've made-fantastic read. I really hope you decide to stick around and drop some knowledge on Japan, bro. You'd be an asset to the community.
And to the OP(Docter) and anyone else with this idea:

Buy it! Indispensable knowledge divulged within.
Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

Hey blackpassenger, if that is really you!
Regardless, I did pick up his book before I even read this. (I also picked up both Max Danger books, Memories of Silk and Straw, and The Road to Sata. All great so far).
I do recommend reading these books as my perception of Japan has been incredibly shaped from these resources. BP/YC is the best by far. It is a travelogue going head to head with Tucker Max while sipping on wine discussing the intricacies of Japanese culture.
The analogy sucks but the book rocks.
And damn, I'm an idiot for thinking Japan wasn't developed. When the fuck did I miss that memo.
