As regards photos, I went first time 3 wks ago to Patong- found some girls you could photo anything- they loved it, others a little shy- would rather keep towel round- I dunno what the norm is here.
As regards video- I had a camcorder and asked 1 or 2 if I could film- they both were paranoid about it getting on the internet. But then again my strategy of shoving in their face within 1 min of getting to the room was not a clever idea!!!!
Irish Johnnys strategy is the way to go- the more you have their trust, and they have had a taste of your money, the more they wanna please you - the better chances.
I wonder if anyone has set up a camcorder hidden behind clothes or something and filmed all the proceedings without her consent- I must admit I was tempted- but thought better of it.
