I don't think they bother about the age of selling drink too much as im only 19 and I still havn't been asked for I.D

Im suprised that Peitersen got a few overs but Collingwood didnt? Colly is normally a good steady bowler..

Get Monty P in for the next game! Drop James Anderson he is useless!

I found a lottery ticket, which happened to have won me a fortune...................... then I woke up

I know of a women who sells all sorts on Ebay using a Thai bank account, she has no problem withdrawing from it.

Hope this helps

No Idea what one of them is.. I searched on google, and that brought nothing up either ?

LOS can turn bright-eyed lads into crotchety old men rather quickly.

Personally, I'm glad I got here after I was already ruined and cynical.

LOS.. Land Of Secondchances?

But, oh, heck, you've made up your mind and set your sail, lad. Enjoy the voyage

LOS.... Land of Smiles?

The last few times I have been there I would class it more as LOG... Land Of Groans

The 1st time I went to Pattaya 3 year ago, everyone was happy and smiling, but it isn't half like that now

I still love the place though

While I'm on this 3 month discussion, Can I get a Visa for the full 3 month without any visa runs, or do I have to get a Tourist Visa and a 30 day extension?

Thanks

You say that your two month stay in Thailand will not be like when you come here and party non stop for two weeks. It will, only it will be a two month non stop party instead. What else are you going to do in the evenings? Sit around watching TV at your dad's, when some hot babe is pestering you to go out and have a wild time with her?

I predict that you'll be out on the prowl every night.

Still, you're only young once so enjoy it.

If you don't get too attached to one girl to the extent that she starts hitting you up for cash and gifts, which will happen if you spend too much time with one of them, then your 1800 baht should last you fine. Just make sure you change girl frequently and don't get emotionally involved in the slightest or you'll be broke and back home in a month.

a top bit of advise to our friend there john but easier said then done.

those lovely thai girls have put an emotional spell on many a man as they are experts at plying the human male and so bloody drop dead gorgeous that they scare me.

even the young dudes have to be on top of there game as the lovely thai girls will destroy there will to resist.

unfortunatly most of us males are at risk whenever we take the plunge.

anyway mate,

i hope the young dude has top fun and he can always sponge money off the old man if a top bit of crumpet seperates him from his money.

The old man did say he would help me out if thing's did go to pot

Im sure they won't thought... I hope

It will just be the occasional lady on the side. She isn't a bar girl so I will save a bit of cash there I would say.. The odd bar girl when I get bored is the only money I will be spending

I could honestly live on less than 400 Baht a day here.

My rent is 3100 Baht a month (Perfect 100 Baht a day)

3 Decent meals a day can be bought for under 30 Baht each (90 Baht)

Bus fare to work and back (20 Baht)

Add daily expenses for my girlfriend (About 150 Baht)

And I come up with a living total of 360 Baht a day or 12000 Baht a month.

Ofcourse there are days where you spend alot more and then there are days when you spend alot less.

Thanks for your reply!

I don't think I could live that cheaply because I like my english food too much

The minimum I could probably live on is about 900bht-1000bht per day.

Anyone one else live on that much per day?

being a babe magnet, is something I just have to put up with all over the world.

Stop walking around with a 1,000 baht note stuck to your forehead, and the girls will leave you alone.

Good one!

Bingo dude, good strategy

I hope it goes to plan as well it is sounding

I will probably be only spending money on:

- 2 meals a day

- A few bottles of Heineken a night

- A few drinks on some girl that I see

That's about it so I think that will be easy to live on... :-)

If you go out with 3000 THB you will spend 3000 THB

If you go out with 300 THB you will spend 300 THB

Pace yourself, you are already doing it mentally so whatever you take with you deduct 10%, divide the rest number of days in LOS, 10% left over is F.U.F. or contingency

I will take 1,500bht out for the 1st month and the 2nd month I can enjoy a bit better because I will have been saving 300bht per day for the 1st month so I can let loose a little

Ok Dude

Thanks for the advice! I change girls frequently anyways so I am ok with that side of things. There will be some nights where I will be wanting to stay in to watch the football back in the UK because that is always kicking off around 10pm Thai time. Im pretty sure 1,800bht will be enough per day, if not I will be drinking water around the bars

I will try not to . It will be going on the beach for the morning and afternoon, thai food for dinner then out some nights for a few bevvies. I think 1,800bht will cover that

Right, so the 1800 THB covers the vendors on the beach ... what about bars at nighttime

I will only spend 100-200 bht on the beach during the day

After a few bevvies, generally financial discipline goes out of the window. Mine generally does. This is why I think you will spend more than your 1600 quid in 2 months. You will be amazed at the way your Thai girlfriend affects your spending. I'm not talking about handing over cash. More like buying drinks for 2, food for 2, taking her out to shows etc. Too much free time will lead you to spend more also.

One month into your holiday, make a new post showing how much you have spent so far.

It's a long way off, but I will do because I will have plenty of spare time

I don't intend to be with ladies during the day.. just a short while at night will do me

I will try not to . It will be going on the beach for the morning and afternoon, thai food for dinner then out some nights for a few bevvies. I think 1,800bht will cover that

Its always a hoot when someone else asks for a cost per day idea. All the gurus and groovers get our money barometers out and check the financial weather!

<Rustle of clothing>

Right my Barometers out! Checking the weather now!

As its coming into high season I'd say about 1200 baht a day would be easily doable!

Have fun out there!

I think I would be going there around July to September time. So that is low season isn't it?

Bennyboy, you have to bear in mind that many posters on this forum are old codgers who would have to pay for female companionship of any kind....

Young good looking guys like you and me, we get by a lot cheaper than the rest, 1800 per day is massive when the girls fall all over you, for free..........

A bit harsh on some of the posters, but you are to true there about the free

I know 2 farangs who live for under 10,000 a month including rent. One is teetotal, one drinks lao khao neither uses taxis, one has a regular girlfriend, one takes girls on very cheap dates. Contrastingly some of my colleagues spend over 50,000 a month by having 20,000 rents, taking taxis all the time, eating at western joints, Starbucks etc.

You take your pick for the life style you want. If you hang around in bars every night, 1800 a day might not be enough.

10,000 bht per month is just over 300 bht per day which I don't know how anyone could live on that but fair play to them if they can . I will be looking to go out 3-4 nights per week for a few beers etc

It's not about paying for sex, its about going to see my dad for a couple of months and to see a couple of girls who are not bar girls, who I have seen in the past .

I thought you were going to pattaya?

I suppose 1 or 2 won't harm

A young, intelligent, good-looking lad should only need about 1000 baht at the most a day. All you need buy is the beer - if you need to pay for sex, there's something way wrong.

It's not about paying for sex, its about going to see my dad for a couple of months and to see a couple of girls who are not bar girls, who I have seen in the past . I would say £1600 is enough to stay for 3 month but I want to be able to live comfortably.

Your true there! I would be alot more tighter with my money if I was to go for 2 month and I would have to try and hold back on going out every night drinking and other things....

LOS 2 Week @ 2000 THB x 14 = 28000 THB

2 month @ 2000 THB x 60 = 120000 THB

IMO Thais are masters at making farang reach into their pocket, lots of reasons to do so, all cheap but it all adds up, why come for 2 months and hold back thus not enjoying yourself so much, or 2 weeks and totally blow out? Are you returning to see just your dad or is there someone else in the equation?

My dad does 6 months in Thailand and 6 months back home in the UK, but when I am hoping to go, he will be there at that time. So I will be going to see him and probably a few more people I will be taking around £1600 for the 2 month so that works out roughly at 1,800 bht per day. Plus I will be selling a few things on Ebay to keep my car paid for back home
