smooth expat

Yes, I've seen them. And I have seen muslim women with full burqas on Walking St. YES. Walking St!! WHAT are they thinking???

Anybody walking around with 60k baht in their wallet deserves to lose it. That is just dumb.

Yeah i hear whats being said about covering up buts whats the use of banging if u cant get a good blast off at the end, i'm at an age now where it really does' nt matter

Exactly. I never cover up. Done it too many times to count and tests came back negative. HIV is a gay disease or it's very difficult to obtain.

Chancroid. Produces nasty open sores. Not a very fun experience.

15 is legal with their parent's approval. Other countries have no right to apply their laws here. It's a sovereign country. Next thing you know they will try to prosecute people for visiting gogos. What they are (trying to do) is illegal.

BS. They say these things in the USA too. There aren't enough "skilled" workers yet the wages are low. These jobs must not be very desirable if they can't find any people to fill them. Doesn't take much for somebody to get a degree. The problem is employers are NOT PAYING ENOUGH.

I just went to the atm and checked my bank balance. Next day I get hit with a 150 baht fee!! What the hell?!? Warning: Do not use the balance inquiry button at any atm. You will pay for it!

20k per month if you stay in a cheap room and stay away from the girls.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Sure about that? 8,000 all in for a room in a Thai area leaves plenty for eating and the occasional social life.

I have lived on less before.

A room with fan you can get for 3000 or with aircon 5000 baht so you should be ok with 20k per month . You can even afford a trip to McDonalds. But no girls .

Can live here for free if you meet the right Thai lady.

Unfortunately a lot of those tourists are fluff. They don't spend anything(i.e. 5 guys sharing one beer).

"Frenchman" huh? Well, I guess I'll call myself "Thai" then.

Cheapest room I stayed at here was on Soi Honey. 250? baht a night if I recall correctly. At least it had a fan. The 160 baht places are just a bare room with no windows, fans, or even a bed.

500k baht a month should do it.

1 year would have been sufficient.

Do many Russians know English well? They often come up to me and ask things in Russian(must think I'm one of them).

Why do people here tend to attack people who intervene??

I can't even begin to imagine what taking a girl out for the night would cost in Las Vegas. Probably my entire monthly income! Not to mention the police harassment(!) I think there is a reason why guys relocate to Pattaya rather than Vegas..

There are about 40 dogs on our Soi now. A couple females just recently gave birth to over 20 soi puppies. I kid you not.

This place will be crawling with Chinese by that time. I cringe to think what the place will look like.

The internet thing is harder than it looks. Getting people to trust you online is the hardest part to making a living off it. That's been my experience anyways.

WS is just insane. This stuff happens all the time over there. Tourists really need to be informed about the dangers. Violence against tourists is increasing all the time especially on WS. Perhaps tourists need to rethink their travel plans.

Cheaper to just drive off. That's what lots of people do here. I don't blame them.

Yep. That's the ultimate nightmare here. Forgetting your wallet. I'm lucky I've never forgotten mine in the years I've been here.

Rainy season came late this year. We didn't get enough during the summer so now we have to pay now.

Eat rice everyday.

I'd like to move to Europe somewhere but I don't think I'd be able to afford it. I can barely afford living in Thailand.
