Hello Everyone,

I've been planning my trip to Thailand this October and wanted to book a girl from AAB to pick me up from the airport like I did last time. Then I saw this story:
https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40030330

Not only was this throwing a wrench in my plans, it also made my blood freeze a little (actually a lot) since I was stupid enough to book with them using my real name, email, and phone. And now I'm afraid I'm on some sort of list that will get me nabbed as soon as I step foot in immigration...

A quick look on Wikipedia soothed some of my fears however, stating that procuring sexual services for oneself from a consenting adult is not illegal under Thai law.

On the other hand, Thailand doesn't exactly strike me as a 'rule of law' kind of place. I can easily envision a situation where the current government rounds up some random white guys like me to parade in front of their constituents to show they are defending Thai honor in the face of lecherous farang.

So am I overreacting? I know at the very least I'm going to get a separate phone and email to organize liaisons in the future. What are some ways you protect your privacy for these sorts of things?

Data privacy should be an ongoing concern for everyone. Why give your data away to Meta/Facebook/Tinder/Instagram or the Google octopus? They monetize it, and they ain't paying us.

Email: protonmail.com, Switzerland-based and encrypted by default. You can get a free account but paid accounts are reasonable, and you can also get ProtonVPN. And yes, using a VPN is a good practice.

Don't plaster your picture and real name everywhere. Phone numbers are increasingly important: The Zuck paid billions of dollars to acquire WhatsApp years ago. Yes, WhatsApp now leaks your data, including phone number and all your contacts, into the Facebook bucket. Just getting to know you better, sweetie!

The good news is that these monoliths don't give a flying fuck if you patronize sex workers, unless they can push ads for such services onto your platforms and scrape a few more pennies.

To your main point: Thai Immigration absolutely does not fucking care in the slightest if you consume sexual services while in-country. Do dress well when appearing at the Immig counter upon arrival: shirt with collar, long pants. Be polite. Don't say: "Hey buddy, where are the best blowjobs in town? Is Ploy still working at Sticky Rice Massage?"
