Not saying where you're going
Hi
I've read a thread somewhere on the forum advocating that it's not advisable to tell everyone back home (like work and family) where you're going when you book a holiday to LOS as a single guy. I can see where the logic is in this and need to think it through a bit: not sure I want everyone at work to jump to the obvious conclusion especially with me being newly single! There were no practical suggestions in the thread though. If people have taken a decision not to tell, have they any bright ideas about how to keep it a secret? I guess you could say that you were in e.g. Spain and that postcard was forgotten or lost, or use a web-based e-mail to send a message without disclosing its origins - any thoughts/experiences?

Hi Mojo,
I don't really have any practical suggestions for you and I understand you are worried especially if it's a family thing, but the ideas you have already put forward sound reasonable to me. I am sure other BM's will have some creative suggestions. Personally I don't give a f^ck what people think, Its my life and I will live it the way I want to.

When I go on holiday (LOS or otherwise) I tell one person at work and my brother how to find me, and that I do not want to be found unless there is an emergency. When I get to, say, LOS I purchase a local SIM card and post the number on the Internet www.MyDomain.com/FindMe or send an email with the number.
I never send postcards, so I would not need excuses for that. If you do need to give a destination other than where you are going, pick one in approximately the same time zone, i.e. Singapore or Malaysia. I generally tell people what country I go to, but if I don't want them not to speculate, I am usually proactive in talking about the beaches, the temples, and even the traditional Thai massages. If the massage part raises an eyebrow, I may tell them that you can get then right there on the beach for under $10 per hour. All in all, I may try to deflate the speculation, but I really don't care what they think.

welcome to the board mate.
as likeitalot and mr. dk said, i dont care what others think about what i do on holidays. when they ask me i tell them about tempels and beaches etc... the interesting thing is that 3 of the girls in my team went to LOS after i told them about it and they loved it...so now i'm not a sexpest anymore...i'm a cultur-pest for them...hahahah

A lesson learned for me. When I went to LOS I didn't tell anyone in my family where I was going. While I was gone my 95 year old Grandmother died and everyone was trying to get a hold of me for days. They finally traced an e-mail I sent to my sister back to Thailand. I didn't know how easy it was to do. Turns out I have an inheritance coming. It's always good to tell someone in case of emergencies like that, or if you run into trouble there.

It never bothered me what people thought about my holidays here. Since living here have had a few friends who have said they would like to come over to visit but are worried about what other people will say.
Crikey life is too short and too much fun to worry over stuff like that, you know what, you live the best you can all your life and still people make up whateever they want after you leave so why bother to lie, won't it be worse if you are caught out?.

Who wants to live a life in denial ?
You're a grown up and go on holiday regardless what other think, I would feel very uncomfortable with myself travelling 12 hours or more away from home and no one knows, for what ?

Any particular reason your friends and family back home cant know that you are going to Thailand?
Its your life, live it like you want to, not how you are expected to by others, you only got 1 chance. And remember, Thailand is more then hoo|<ers and booze, no matter what idea people got about it.

I can understand keeping detail of your holiday secret at work but as for friends if you can't tell them then they are not really your friends.

What's the point in lying? If anyone asks me i tell them "I'm off to to Thailand"... At the end of the day why care what people think and most people who say "you dirty git" are just jelouse anyway. I tell my mum, hell why should i lie, and i usually get have a nice time. She knows what i get up to, and i know she knows. I also don't give a fck either. If anyone wants to say to me that I'm a sex tourist or anything else, then let them. Sticks and stones and all that. Tell them where you are going... Hell when i was living back in England my mum picked me up from the airport. If you lie you will get caught. simple as, and forget what bell ends think... For while they are calling you names you'll have the time of your life.

Hi mojo42
Welcome to the forum. I take the side of everyone who has said, fcuk 'em! Its your holiday, your life, why deceive people and tell them a lie just because you want to go to LOS. Its none of anyone elses business what you do or where you go. Don't try to please other people, please yourself!

For me is the same, i'm single but i dont feel yours problems ...and i live in italy (where was the vatican... people like to talk bad about others to feel himself better) I think is not possible dont say or say lies about where you go, i think is worse then talkin about, and for the family impossible. If you dont like to talk about or have to think lies, people feel that you have embarassment on this and this increase their curiosity because thei think you have something bad to keep hidden. There are many good reason to go in phuket is cheap, beautiful and with many opportunities to have fun and is an family place too. Of course someone can think bad, but only think be reserved is normal in an work environment.

I understand what everyone is saying but my situation is difficult. I'm self employed and get new work from several local businesses. I'm pretty sure this would be affected if they thought I'd become addicted to hot TG action (I have). If I make it back to Patong this year I'm going to lie about where I'm going - to do a job in Spain or the south of France maybe. @Mojo42 It could be a fun wind up for you though. Pick another, less notorious Asian country, take loads of generic photos and fool you |
