1000bht!!!! 

And even if not going down that route, I'd rather drink a Leo with a gf or knowing I can get a gf for 60bht, 100bht or 150bht than a free glass of great wine in a country where I know I couldn't.

Ah, good idea Charlie. Thanks.

22 year old presentable female. High school grad. Well mannered, can play the violin lol. Never done a days work in her life.

Strangely finding it hard to get even an interview for jobs in Starbucks Amazon etc.

In these covid times are there jobs like dishwasher where they hire "anybody"?

The guy lent the money to her (and many others in the office) about 7 years ago at interest.

It was only verbal.

Last week he wanted it all back. Pushed her to sign a form saying she owed it.

But my question is what is the court likely to do?

She already has half her salary taken off the top for her gov loan.

Its impossible for her to pay the 350k now.

Thai gov worker borrowed 350k from colleague. Colleague suddenly wants it all back. Impossible request.

He will take her to court after July 31st.

She wants to pay it back, but is scared the court will impose a 15% interest rate. Is this true?

Anybody have experience in this?

Not everyone can afford THAT 555

In Thailand you only really need 

1 girl

4 mates

A room

A fan

PC with internet connection

Even in a recession everyone can afford that.

Girlfriend's apartment has surprisingly fresh air as soon as you enter the grounds.

Literally feels like you've left bk as you step thru the security gate.

She says they spray water every day.

It certainly is quite noticeable the difference.

But anybody know if its actually clean air that's healthy to breath or just a cosmetic improvement that's still slowly killing us?

When I first came 25 years ago as a young male backpacker I was scammed in Bangkok by a "friendly" male Thai. I seem to remember the view of every backpacker I met was every local was out to cheat you. I lamented that the Thais didn't seem at all interested in meeting foreigners and was extremely disappointed that no so called "good girl" would even look at a foreigner let alone talk to one.

These days, walking around I never feel like prey on the savannah.

And dating outside a bar girl is a million times easier.

Actually I think one thing that has been overlooked in this thread is the effect that over crowding has on people. There's just far more people living here now and that ever crowding stresses people.

The motivations are not mutually exclusive. 

True, but very few people even move from expensive parts of their own country to cheaper parts to save money. They'd rather just cut their cloth and stay put. 

The effort in moving 1000kms then would seem strange. Except when you consider the males desire for sexiness.

She did some graphic design work for a guy/new company.

She has digital evidence of communication that work was done, money owed and not paid.

75k 

Now one year and always same excuses.

Is there anything she can do?

The reasonyou are dis gruntled is that she has completely won. She has fufilled her biological imperative. Raising two kids with a man from the richest 5% of the world.

You are not fufilling your potential though are you.

You are raising two kids and have an average woman who is aging. Thats the life a man on 20k a month could live.

When your young making friends seems easy. Pass a certain age its harder. Just curious how successful TV members have been with their social life.

There is nothing wrong with Thailand. Just a lot of bitter people that have to go home due to that they have started to enforce the rules and regulations that has always been there.

Absolutely correct by my experience (not speaking for others). I will be 70 in a week's time. My relationship of 10 years ended about a year ago. Since it ended it has been the loneliest period in my whole life. Last year I spent Christmas and New Year alone. I don't go bars as I am a recovered Alcoholic. It's nothing to do with sex...what I miss more than anything is the constant laughs we had together....all day everyday. Having someone to plan things with, to share things with to holiday with..etc.  Yes, I have tried the dating sites.. they even make one feel lonelier...most of them just want money...not a 70 year old man. The worry (and fear) of having nobody to call if something happens is growing every day. I have almost become a recluse...but have a great belief in a HP of my understanding so I put my life in His hands on a daily basis.

    Having said all that...I have had the best 19 years of my life living in Thailand and would do it all over again...

Dotpoom. Sorry to read your situation. Good luck in finding someone.

I suffer from financial anxiety so forgive the question. How much was you complete monthly budget to have the best years of your life? All costs spread out to produce a monthly budgetnif you would.

Strange how everyone gives to young girls only.

Young, presumbly attractive girls have a much easier life than most other segments of the population and yet they are the ones given the cash!!!!

Do you have something on the side Geronimo?

Its refreshingly honest. I feel like my relationship could be good enough to end up that way. But I am still scared of that outcome.

Oh...thats interesting.

I like your posts. I think you ate having a better experience of Thailand ghan most going by these boards. And at a reasonable cost.

How much do you pay for rent?

How often can you afford to go ot like the night you describe?

Actually i quick breakdown of budget would illuminate for myself and others i believe.????

OP whats your monthly cost of living?

I imagine those who love thailand are those who can afford it.

I met my school teacher wife on line and she's richer than me and has more land than me - I married above me. You obviously are going for the wrong ads

Since when have men cared about that stuff? Married above you for a man means marrying a 9 when you are a 6 without wealth.

Puchiakyak and Bruce, whats the age gap in your relationships? 

Im addressing my fears not exoressing my stance.

Do you play around?
