Is it? I would think that if the owner comes to the address and rings the bell at that address without entering private property that is not illegal. Maybe I play devil's advocate here. But if I would do a good job and then I would receive a bad review which effects my business and income then I would also try to rectify the situation. Sometimes the customer is not right.

Why do some people write there is no problem, and they also write don't tell anybody? If it's all legal and never a problem then it should be no problem to tell it to everyone, maybe publish the information online, etc. If you think it's legal then go ahead and tell everyone and find out.

I would say it a little different: Likely it is no problem if not many people know about it and if you don't have anybody who wants to make trouble for you. I am pretty sure working like that is not legal and there could be trouble - if people complain.

I guess most of us think the customer didn't receive enough of what he ordered and complained. And the seller was upset. But imagine for a minute that the seller did sell the correct amount and good quality and the customer just complained. What then? I would understand if the owner would be angry about a bad review for no reason and if he visited the customer to find out why he complained. Do we really know what happened? I think both versions could be true.

There are certain areas on Sukhumvit with Thai information-booth (I don't know what their official name is). And next to it there are always taxis parked on the street - in a no parking area. And that happens all night and all day, every day. It seems the police just doesn't see all those parked taxi-no-meter. They also don't notice the not flowing traffic because all those illegally parked cars. Amazing Thailand!

Contact Lazada and ask them - in my experience they reply fast.

In principle he is right. And in you are in the highlands, sitting in front of the open fire, then that is probably the way to do it. In a gogo-bar all night long not so much.

No, I met her in Pattaya in a gogo bar many years ago. At that time bars were full of 18-year-old girls, and some more who borrowed the ID-card from their older sister. It is not so long ago that 18 year old girls, and sometimes their younger sisters, worked in farang area bars. And if you like it or not, lot of customers are interested in the new innocent girls.

So deluded. Maybe what I wrote doesn't match with your imagination, but it's the truth. Talk to people who know the business and girls for many years, and they will confirm it.

Here is a hint: Most guys don't care how much money their gf/wife makes. It is irrelevant - not just in Thailand.

Americano is a lot of water with coffee taste. Nuff said.

Correct, they have a choice - apart from the pressure to make money or fill the monthly quota of "offs". And when the girls have the choice between a fat old gut and a young health guy, think again who they chose. One of them wants to f#$% for hours, and obviously he thinks he is a stud, and the girl should be happy to be with such a strong young sexy guy. The other one knows he is old and fat and has no power. 5min and it's all done. And he is happy that he was able to do it at all. She receives the same money from both of them. In the first case it took 2h and she is tired. In the second case it took less than an hour, including talking, and she is not tired and ready for the next customer. So much about fat old guys - the best customers.

Is there anybody out there who thinks Thaksin would come back if he would go to jail? No.

I am often enough in Nana. These days at least 99% of the girls are over 20. And 90% of that remaining 1% are over 18. There is no problem with underage sex in Nana. Having said that, I am sure one or the other girl would be willing to introduce her little sister to someone who is interested. Or in other words: Nobody will by accident meet a young teenage prostitute in Nana. And those who search for underage girls and boys will always find them. For the record: I ask the girls from time to time how old they are, and after living here long enough I have a pretty good idea myself if they are "old enough". I never tried to find any illegal underage prostitute. But I am sure they exist - not only in Bangkok and not only in Thailand.

In Bangkok I pay about 300B for espresso for mf gf and me per day. That's about 10k per month or 120k per year. It adds up, and not just the coffee. ????

Looking back at the original question: "If you were looking for a new relationship today what age gap would you aim for and why?" 20 years ago I would have answered: 15 years difference. And now, 20 years older, I would answer: 35 years difference. Or in other words: Personally, I think the important part is her age, and not the age difference.

555 At that time my Englich was really bad, I didn't listen to the lyrics. And I am pretty sure her English wasn't any better. ????

This thread is supposed to be about relationships. It seems you hire someone to do a job - maybe taking care of you. If you tell them up front it is a job for a year, then it's not a relationship. Obviously, you can do that. But it's a different topic to what this thread is about. IMHO with a relationship you start a relationship. And maybe you are pretty sure it won't be forever. But you don't have a clear date in mind or agreed when it will end (except maybe when you are here on holiday).

I love that song. Watching James Bond with my first girlfriend.

Why would that be a problem? Does it really matter if a woman is attracted to you because you are tall or have these wonderful blue eyes or you are a celebrity or have money? If she is attached to you and if she makes you happy then all is good.

If it is important, then change it! Don't repeat the same again and again and do nothing about it.

Some steps to analyze issues: Is it important to me? Can I change it? ... If it's not important then ignore it. If you can't change it, then accept it. If it is important and if you can change it, then think about how and do it. It's stupid to worry about things which are not important and which we can't change.

Maybe he was not able to make her happy. So she could have left him of stay with him and get the satisfaction somewhere else. Possibly he was happy that she stayed with him.

I love Bangkok. I've been here since almost 30 years and I don't plan to move anywhere else, ever.

If she thinks she will be happier somewhere else then she should move to that happier place. And if for whatever reason she can't do that or doesn't want to do that then she should learn to make the best out of it. Just moaning forever doesn't make her life better.
