Is it all good for Brothas (African Americans)

I look to the advice of you veterans out there as I will be going to Thailand next month. I would like to know if I will have any problems with the girls, bars, clubs etc, as I'm an african-american (black man, Brotha). I hope neagtive stereo types of African Americans or Africans hurts me. I only ask beacuse in Amesterdam I was rejected/denied at one massage parlaor and once on the streets until the girl heard my american accent..... Hopefully the color of green and just being able to dance, and being cool and fun and ready to party is enough for a brotha to have some real fun.

i Was there and saw quite a few African Americans there. Didnt look like there was that big of a problem but then again, i was just observing.
Actually, alotta times the girls were whistling at them alot.

But every situation is different.

Hi mank10
Welcome to the forum.I have only visited Phuket once so far and must admit I didn't see any black guys.I sincerely hope that the colour of someones skin should not stop them from enjoying a beautiful place like Phuket.
Enjoy your trip

Hey Mank10 I was just in Phuket the first 2 wks of Sept for my 1st visit, I had no problems at all. Went to Phi Phi the same result, everyone treated me with kindness. I also behave myself, never got into any dangerous situation. The 2 ladies I had, I treated them with the upmost of TLC, dinner, little shopping trip and numerous ladydrinks. Just be yourself and all will fall into place. Don't play into the negative stereotype they may or may not have of us African American.
You're going to love it there
my last evening the bar where I spent most of my time gave me a going away gift, to me that was a big plus in my book.

It is very unlikely that you would have a problem. I did go with one girl once who said she was afraid of black Americans and would not go with one. If she saw you coming, she would probably hide. I thought it was a little silly when she told me this. We were watching MTV and they were playing American rap, which is how the subject came up. Later, after sex, I was singing a little bit of R&B/blues in the shower as this is the music I grew up with and love. When I came out of the shower, she looked scared as a little kid. I have a real deep voice, and used to sing in a blues band, so I sound pretty authentic. She was afraid of me just because I sounded black to her. She begged me to let her go home. I did, but cut her pay. So there are a few odd ones out there, but I think that is very unusual.

On the other hand, a BG who was a close platonic friend of mine, we drank together but never had sex, just friends, she really loved black men. She always looked for the black men. When we were in the disco, she would always get excited if she saw a black guy. When we were at her bar, if a black man came by, she would run out and give him her best "Hello, Handsome" greeting. She said I was the only white man she ever had for a good friend. She also got a lot of repeat business from black guys. She says she likes the way black men talk and the way they dance, better talkers and dancers than white men. I didn't ask about the sex.

So, like people everywhere, there are differences, but overall, I think you will have no problem and have a good time.

Well I hate to go against the trend but I thought it was a fairly well known trend that Asian girls tend to not prefer 'Chocolate man' as they often refer to guys of color.. Thats not in any way to say you wont get laid but it is to say that it may cost more than for someone else. I have 2 black mates that come over from London a lot and although we have only half discussed it and they always have a girl it can be an issue and one I hope your not too sensitive about (they are not)...

It has many roots in that

A) Thais see beauty in white skin, a dark skinned stunner of an Issan girl can be considered downright ugly to Thai eyes yet a pale skinned average girl is Beautiful.. I guess this goes to the ruling class being Thai Chinese and paler and the working class being sunburnt from the fields.

B) TG's are tight as a mouses ear... Size can be a real issue... If you want a laugh buy a Thai condom !!!

You can still have a great time and you will still get play but dont let it bother you and break thier stereotypes, you gotta remember they may not have been exposed to to many colored guys.

Hey Mank

You will have 10 times more fun then in LA. I'm from that area and every day I feel lucky to be here.The girls are attracted to the color of brown (1000 baht note color). Like people from all over the world some girls might be afraid of you and some might jump you like they do sticky rice and laab gai.

You will have a great time and when you get back to LA you will not want to put up with all the b@@#t from girls there that don't compare in looks and friendliness.

Meet me at MTB when your there and I'll buy you a beer.

Cheers!

Black, White or inbetween !

Hey Man10

I have now been to LOS 7 times (next trip March 2005) I have observed many TG's reactions to non-whites. . . I have found the majority of them have a particular dislike for Arab (read Middle East) and Indian men.

These girls object mainly to (I am sure not all are like this) a very poor standard of personal hygiene. When you have been out on the town all night, drinking heavily, in what can be very warm locations, you sweat a lot.

At least I do, and the first thing I want to do on the return to my Hotel with a Lady, is have a long shower. Something that all Thai girls want also.

The ladies that I have spoken to say that the above genre of men typically (in particular) men smell rather bad . . . Hot and sweaty, with very un- romantic odours emanating from their 'nether regions'' due to basically not bathing regularly.

I have seen many American Negros holidaying in various parts of Thailand, and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Be yourself, and as long as that doesn't mean swaggering along the street doing the Harlem Shuffle, you should not have any problems.

Too many Americans abroad, in my experience seem to over-do' the fact that they are from the USA, and this can become rather tiresome to all and sundry that happen to be within earshot. . . Lets face it, if you are holidaying overseas, most people want to relax with a drink and good conversation.

Not be bombarded with constant claims to the superiority of the US. Mind you, at the moment, there might not be the bombastic claims of bravado that are traditionally endured by non-Americans.

Cheers

Pdm3

Talking Big C*cks and Big Booties!

LivinLOS makes a good point about TGs being "tight as a mouse's ear". If you are too big for the girl, it can put a little damper on the fun. They are mostly troopers and will deal with it, but you can tell when it hurts them and you can bet they won't be happy about going a second round in the morning if they are sore from the night before.

My tip is to always look for the girls with wide hips or bigger than average butt. If you are hung big and pick a girl with very narrow hips, it almost always is going to be a problem. Look for the ones who are taller or wider in the hips. This surprised me because in America I have been with many white and black girls and short, tall, skinny, or plump, it didn't seem to make to much difference except that bigger girls really go for the bigger c*cks. For a little woman, the big d*ck was not a problem. With TGs it is all different. I tell the little ones and narrow hipped ones, "Sorry, you too small." My TG friend who likes black men is tall with a voluptuous butt. Baby got back! She also says one of the things she likes about black men is that they like the big booty!

Also, definitely a good idea to bring your own supply of condoms and lube. Most of them don't seem to know about lube, and it helps a lot.

JONNY

One night I got in a big argument with a BG who wanted 2000 Baht. She thought she was a stunner. Pretty nice, but no stunner, I thought. Now, I wouldn't have minded and would have just wrote it off to a difference of opinion, no harm done, but... she had roped me in(Hallo Hand-sum man, etc.) and after a drink or two, I asked her if she was going with me later. She said 2000 Baht. I said 1000 Baht. She said no. I came up to 1200 or maybe 1500(can't remember). At some point in the negotiating, she said, "OK, OK. It's OK. Fine." I thought we had an agreement. Two hours and a big barbill later, I get the tab and there is no BF. I ask her why no BF? She says you want me go with you 2000 Baht. I thought she said OK, that we had agreed on price, but she apparently had meant OK, let's not argue about it, let's just drop it. Somewhat upset, I gave her a piece of my mind and split.

By that time it was 2:00 and the girls were leaving the bars. I went out to Bangla at Rat-U-Thit and headed down Bangla against the flow of traffic, eyeballing the BGs headed home as I went. One went by and all I saw of her was the biggest rack I had ever seen on a BG. Her DDs had the real look about them. They turned my head as she went by and then I saw her big shapely ass wiggling and jiggling back and forth in a way that called out to my more primitive instincts. Yes, mama was calling her baby boy home! Without thinking, I found myself doing an about face, my eyes glued to her swaying butt and set off after her. When I caught up to her, cut her off, and said hello, I quickly sized her up. She was cute, not real pretty, but friendly and real looking, very warm and unpretentious. I usually go for the pretty ones with the tight bods, but at that moment, I thought, "**** that shit. I want a real woman tonight. I want a get-down-and-dirty, hot mama, who really knows how get the bed shaking, and my instincts tell me that this lady is just the one to fill the bill. So one "Bai nai" later we were off to my hotel.

It was a great night of good 0ld-fashioned down and dirty sex American style, pulling out all the stops, getting real wild and crazy. This lady really appreciated a good f*ck and knew how to show it. No need to baby her. And those DDs were definitely the real deal. Worth the price of admission, if for that alone!!

Long before morning, I was very glad that I hadn't gone with the "A Stunner In Her Own Mind" 2000 Baht bullshit artist, and was quite happy that I had picked this very untypical BG instead. She was "fat' by Thai standards, but not fat at all by American standards. By American standards, she was a few pounds short of medium, a few pounds more than what is considered to be in very good shape. I thought about going back to see her the next night 'cause the sex was so good with her, and I liked sleeping with her, too. I think the main reason I didn't was because I thought that my friends would think I was weird for going with a "fat" chick when there are so many babes around. Later that night, as I was cruising, I was still toying with the idea of going to the bar she worked at, when I saw her emerge from Soi Seadragon with a young, strapping lad who looked like a Scandinavian, blonde, maybe 6"4", 230 lbs., a very good looking guy. She was grinning like the Cheshire cat,and he looked like he just couldn't wait to get her back to his hotel. A perfect couple, all in all, and it made me feel happy for the both of them.

It's good to see a man who appreciates a real woman, instead of these fragile little porcelain dolls all about here. I chuckled to myself as I thought about the night he had ahead of him. He was not going to be disappointed by her, not one little bit!

So, I confess that I'm still a sucker for the lookers and stunners with their tight bodies, and pretty-as-a-picture faces. But every once in awhile, my caveman instincts grab hold of me, shake me, and say "**** that shit, you need a real hot mama, who doesn't come with a "Handle with Care" label attached to her." So I guess you could say that sometimes I get tired of that seafood/chicken lean cuisine and need to get myself a "bit of meat," yes , in fact, sometimes I just have to go get a nice big juicy beefsteak. Yum, yum!!

Hi Mank10 and welcome to the forum.

Phuket is an international destinations and we have people from around the world, you will have no problem. We are used to US Navy too and african americans. Many girls actually like black men because they have big d***
but some girls worry it is too big.

Thai girls may say chocolate man but there is nothing racist with that, just the way they speak.

Ahh yes the fat girl = scooter syndrome... The one where they are both quite good fun to ride but you try not to let your mates see you on one

As to the topic at hand its not purely my imagination.. You only have to search the Thai visa forum to see multiple threads on this topic (agree with the fact it is perhaps worse for Indian and Arab visitors but I was told by some BG friends that for the Arabs it was due to a tendancy to like the wrong hole.. No offence intended to any Arab readers).. Or even consider the recently renamed Darkie (now Darlie) toothpaste with the minstrelesque logo and recent un-pc advertising.

As always money talks ang there is always fun to be had...

LOS does make a good point, but I believe it is more relavent to other area's, if we were talking about everyday "regular" thai society...ie not dealing with bg's and the like then what los is saying is very correct.

My gf has told me about girls who have run off with the chocolate man, and the families were non too happy about it, the way I see things is that like everyplace on the planet some people have there way of seeing things, you can not escape that, but as the outstanding bm's have pointed out the average bg does not care because your money same same.

So my chocolate friend welcome to the board, enjoy your time in los I am quite sure there will be plenty of sanuk sanuk for you.

One very nice story relayed to me by a guy I used to work with and be in a wierd biz game together with.. This guy was a German who had grown up in the hardship and rubble of the 2nd world war... The first time he ever met a man of color was an American GI as part of the occupying force. At this point he was eating dirt and literally starving and true to the generous spirit of the servicemen a black guy called this little snot bundle over and gave him a GI ration Hershey bar.

This was the first time he had ever tasted Chocolate and remembers believing that the negro soldier was made of chocolate !!!

We live in such a different world from a generation ago.

Thanks again guys & Gals

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement.. I have never been called chocolate before by anyone other than my grandmother. So you folks make me feel right at home. I wish I could remove my post because I do not care any longer....I'm ready to go and have a ball. In fact I will be eating Ramen Noddles and crackers for the next few weeks to save some money for the ladies.............As well friends don't worry about me and that American superioty thing, hell sometimes I hate Americans when I travel abroad (only if my American colleagues are pulling that we are the best shit) thats why I will be wearing my viva Canada T-shirt (plus it keeps potential terrorist or kidnappers away). Again Thanks
