Shooting Content In Thailand

[shinmusashi44]

First off YES I know porn is illegal in Thailand, I think everyone knows that by now. But that doesn't stop the 100s of people every year.

I have recently moved to Pattaya Thailand and wanted to start getting into shooting content. I've never shot any content before and want to start off slow. Maybe just shoot a few girls a week or so. I'll just be shooting solo or G/G scenes for now. I bought a HD Photo Canon camera but still not sure what kind of video camera to get here. The canon can do video but not sure how well that will look. I've been promoting Butterflybucks/ghost cash for a few years now and their content got me wanting to shoot my own lol.

For anyone that shoots content here can you give me some tips? Should I take pics of their id, sign consent forms, do you pick them up at the bar and take them to a hotel or do you get their number and meet at the hotel later, etc? And anyone can send me a message on ICQ or can meet up somewhere for a beer or two and talk about this. Any help would be great.

Also what are good sites to sell content? I'll have pics and video.

Quoted for the truth.

Few simple common sense tips:

- Never bring them to your place of residence - Change shooting locations frequently

- Separate yourself from your data cards - dont keep them on you or office or residence

- Do not tolerate or allow drugs to be on the premises

- Check IDs carefully - many underage girls use fake/stolen/borrowed IDs, and yes photo them holding their IDs next to their face.

- Get to know the local hospitals well where STDs are checked and reports issued.

- The police is not your friend. Plan on giving the local police authority and judge all your future profits, and if caught early in the game,where you haven't made money yet, don't worry ... you will be making arrangements to sell any assets you do have to be sitting outside their jail cells.

- Be careful with using any pro equipment. You become a easier target to discover.

Good luck!

....if I tell you what I think you'll think I'm trying to put you off...

Your post reminds me of the American/Canadian crew that got busted in the apartments on Buddha Hill a few years ago crying that "everybody does it", truth is very very few people shoot in Pattaya.

The best advise I can give you is to get to know people. not the mafia, the mob or the police.. but the girls themselves. That sweet girl you shot will give you up in a heartbeat when she's caught doing yabba for the third time or is in love with a policeman.

What you are asking is ... How do I become a professional in a field I know nothing about in a country where said profession is illegal.

Good fucking luck.

Never said anything about becoming a "professional". At the moment have no plans to turn this into anything big. Just test the waters for awhile.

Every year people go to jail for doing this exact thing.Why would you try and learn this trade in that environment? The minute one of these girls needs money, she is going to point you out. So ask yourself, "Does this seem like a good idea?"

Yeah that is true about the girls giving you up. I've heard of them doing things like that before.

Thailand is a class society. When girls shoot for DWB they will have seen him since they arrived in Pattaya, walking around, having drinks with mamasans, local bosses, etc. They will believe if they rat him out they'll be in more trouble than it is worth. You (with all due respect) are a nobody.

Sure you can get away with shooting amateur content letting the girl think it's for your own personal collection but not only is that hard to sell it would make you a scumbag.

Thanks, maybe I'll spend time now just hanging out there and wait to shoot some content.

I know of some that use the Police as security for the shoot. Its all about who you know, don't expect to show up and make connections overnight.

It's more like 10. Just be careful and trust no one. There is a reason there are so few doing it.

If you sell the content, you're a professional. If you don't sell it, you're a sex tourist with a camera.

I hear that a lot.

"You need pay the police or mafia" - Truth is most don't pay either. They pay after they get caught. Why do you think most shooters go to extraordinary lengths to hide their faces.

It's only 1 content producer that shows his face and he's probably connected.

There are some common sense steps you can take to mitigate risk:

- block your site in Thailand
- send DMCAs to Thai sites if they host your content
- shoot in blocks and delay uploads

Personally, and I've said this before, I'd wait to see what happens with this ASEAN thing. Hopefully you can just shoot Cambodians/Lao/Burmese girls in Thailand and save so much of the trouble.

These days everyone just takes the risk. Back in the old days you could pay to not have problems or even have military (they outrank police) or high ranking police sit outside of your shoot location. That all went away when they started shuffling everyone to *try* to curb corruption.

The first big bust happened when he stopped paying his protection, who was the head of the Bangkok crime suppression unit at the time. The guy would actually sit in the room while porn was being made and watch it all, for 50,000b a month. Soon as he stopped getting paid, the producer got busted and I got blamed for it. There was a big scandal afterwards and he got demoted and couldn't protect anyone anymore. However, he rocked while he was running things. He was a one stop shop, work permits, protection, gun for hire, thug, you name it. His off duty business was running security guards for diplomats, government officials, celebrities, and so on, using military for muscle. He even owned homes that he rented out for shooting. Good times. Shooting used to be fun in Thailand, now it's a pain in the ass and a roll of the dice.

BTW... shooters also hide their faces because of the endless army of "captain save-a-hoes" who actively look for guys for screwing their precious angels without a condom, because only they should have the privilege and they foolishly send them money every month like suckers. It's just easier not to have to deal with these delusional lunatics.

[mineistaken]

I never understood, do you have to have big balls to shoot porn in Asian country where it is illegal (and apparently jail time) or you you have to have small brain?

he just got out of jail

[Freax]

Sorry let me say thats a BULLSHIT idea! As long as you do that in thailand with foreign actors from outside the land its risky, but can work. Sooner or later Thais will start to talk. They talk about everything all the time. If they drunk or stoned, they talk more. Thats the risk my friend! If the police get just the smallest info, you are busted and in jail. It costs you more, than you ever get paid for. The complete internet in thailand is monitored. Official using VPNs is forbidden ;) The golden times of shooting porn in Thailand is over!
