Hey gang, I just finished a fantastic month in the Karon/Kata area, and I was impressed. I would wake up, my TG would come over at 07:30, and she would stay for two hours. Then she went to do massages. I would go to my buffet,would be greeted by the smiles of the maids, then I would get a smile from a cute girl at the travel counter, then eat breakfast and flirt with the buxom waitress, then it was off for a supply of fresh fruit ,fried chicken, and a large helping of farang boobs on the beach. After a 40 min walk I would go for my 2 hour massage, and sometimes get a little extra, then it was off for bottled water, a walk to Kata and then back to my hotel, to get ready for the evening. All of this wonderfull interaction with Thai society was still fresh in my mind as I aproached the passport check to re-enter Canada. I layed my eyes on a recent college graduate, who was obviously on a power trip. She made a few sarcastic remarks about "being on vacation for a month", she gives me a phoney smile, and marks my card for a customs check. Enter boner wilter #2.This wet behind the ears customs broad,starts giving me the third degree regarding Thai women. She said "that my TG was obviously around the drug scene" then she spent the next 30 mins asking stupid questions like "why do have extra stong dental floss in my checked baggage" then she takes my cd entitled "the best 100 hard core hits" and puts it into a dvd player, in order to make sure that it did not contain illegal porn. F**K!

Sure makes you feel home...

And you can't even give them shit because they would make you pay for it big time... (cavity search anyone?)

I have a DVD labeled "Little Ones #1" that I carry in my case. The first time that I was stopped, they were all excited when they saw it and had to see what it was. I could just read their minds that they made their bonus. They made me turn on my computer so they could see it, and gave me the dirtest look when they found some clips of 1/4 midget races (little race cars).
They typed something into their computer, and I haven't been stopped since.
We all had a good laugh after they found out what it was, but Kids, I don't suggest that you try this at home.

Vancouver customs agents blow giant goats with giant genitalia.

Going through Calgary and Edmonton, I've never had any issues. However, if I were a gypsy, there would be a million anus expanding curses on every Vancouver customs agent that I have ever seen.

I don't know if it is the newbie customs spot in Western Canada, but they are the most **** bunch of undereducated/overly beauraucraticly powerful officials that I've had to deal with...

Generally if you are going through VCR and want a smooth transition...declare something. Anything. Then let them tax you. They will be happy with their minor victory and might not ask you to bend over. I plan on importing double the tax-free limit of Sangsom next visit, just so they can bugger off and not make me miss my connecting flight. Even if they tax me at 100%, it will be worth it.
