Cheers Marc, that was quick.

George, well they can be - if you speak Japanese. My experience is that many of them want a holiday fling but most Japanese can't manage the simplest of conversations in English. Last time I met up with another guy travelling from Japan and he'd scored straight away. The Royal Paradise rings a bell, that might be where he stayed.

I picked up a Japanese girl in Canada once (I'm an Aussie), I didn't let on that I spoke Japanese and the four girls quite happily discussed who was interested in me not realising I was taking it all in! I am sure Thai speaking farangs do the same thing.

I just checked airfares, they are double what I paid 2 years ago, Patong Villa has put their prices up 25% and the Baht is up from 2.5 to 4 against the yen. This isn't looking so promising ...
