Yep, nothing beats weights. My home gym is stocked with bars, dumbbells, plates, and a rack. It's much more than I need, as I bought the equipment over 10 years ago when I was much stronger. I have a pulldown machine for many additional movements. It's not a pretty gym, but very functional. It's all you need and quite cheap to set up. I train with weights for only one reason these days - to prevent (or slow down) muscle loss or sarcopenia (technical term). The longer you can maintain your muscle strength, the better you'll age. As they say, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. For the heart and circulatory system, I have a Concept 2 Rower, a Concept 2 SkiErg, and a Cybex Arc Trainer... and add to the mix regular 1-hour brisk walks. I'm on the other side of the hill now, so I do my best. All this talk about heavy weights is irrelevant on this forum, as it doesn't take into consideration the age factor. A 30-year-old man should not be training the same as a 60-year-old. Train as heavy as the muscles and joints will comfortably allow in a higher rep range (10 - 20). Use a range of motion that is comfortable and doesn't injure joints.

To be fair, Thai people are smaller in girth (usually), i.e. less bulky, and they are born in a country which averages 30C most of the year, so they are acclimatised. Don't confuse a lack of sweating with laziness. My Thai gf trains harder than I do in a room temperature above 30C, and she won't drip sweat at all, but she still sweats, only you cannot see it, and it doesn't make the benches wet.

If only that were true. I've had to contend with a pool of sweat left by Thai men more than once over the years. Some of them train in sweat suits to induce sweating, even with low-intensity exercise. My best solution has been my home gym for the last 12 years. None of the above problems, with lots of other advantages.

What's your problem? The converted rate was clearly stated in the earlier post... now go away and annoy someone else with inane, irrelevant comments on nothing.

You made a stupid comment, so own up to it.

Go back and read the post I quoted. Thesetat was comparing US prices with Thailand prices, not me. On 6/21/2025 at 7:49 AM, thesetat said: I agree... quite ridiculous the prices now are. And yes you can find the same or cheaper in the US as well as better quality figures on the women.But there are some who want that Asian experience haha.. They drink and their peckers get hard and they stop using their bigger heads. haha.. Not all the women asking so much. But average is 100 US or more now if wanting an hour alone with one of these Thai women.

Stop with the bs. "sexpat" is not an official word in the dictionary, so you or anyone else can give it any meaning they want.

Trump haters are incapable of rational thought, and we might be facing nearly 4 more years of this.

I think you're the one who doesn't understand basic English. I asked you a rhetorical question as follows: "The average in the US is $100?" (per hour) Discussing $100 US (100 USD) and approximately 3,200 THB, based on the current exchange rate. I didn't need you to answer the question. It's complete and utter nonsense.

If you're paying $100 or more for an hour with a Thai woman in Pattaya, you're a goose without a clue. I can spend 3 whole nights with a Thai woman for that, and their figures are just fine. Stay away from Gogo clubs and do some homework. The average in the US is $100? How did you calculate that in a country with 50 states?

I've been riding motorcycles here for 20 years and never had a problem breathing, but I agree Thai people wear them to prevent inhaling dust, and it has nothing to do with COVID.

And very annoying to people who don't want to hear it. It's about public disturbance, but the "victims" are trying to make it about Christianity and persecution.

LOL. International Law is totally irrelevant unless there's a way of policing it... like China building islands in the South China Sea, just off the coast of the Philippines. No one takes any notice of International Law.

More scaremongering. Did you think the administration had not expected this and made plans to keep it open? Take a look at the map. Iran doesn't own the Straits. Do you think the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait will stand by and let Iran control their oil trade?

It's quite ridiculous. Biden was president (in body) for 4 years, but all we heard about for those years was Trump, and now that he is president, that same mob has redoubled their efforts.

In my opinion, the beginning of the decline was when the Thaivisa app was discontinued. In a world where most people conduct their daily social media activities on mobile devices, and specifically on dedicated apps (not in browsers), this was an absurd decision. Now the forum is dedicated to a group of fossils who are slowly dying out.

I didn't call you anything as I was replying to another member. Relax.

Agreed. It's the anti-Trump leftists who do most of the whining and complaining. They spoil the forum more than anything else. They open new threads about Trump every day.

You saw obese people in Thailand only once a month? I was here too, and there were a lot more than that. People have been complaining about the weight of Thai girls on this forum for the last 20 years I've been here. "Oh my, they are so much fatter these days", you'd often read. More cheap confectionery, more ice cream and doughnut shops. It's not Westernisation; it's a natural propensity of humans to enjoy fatty and sweet things. It's not the Thai food, but the junk food snacks on the side that make them fat.

You're commenting on "judgment and moral compass", when all you talk about is "banging" Caucasian women (guessing that's what you mean). Where's your moral compass when you treat women as sex objects to bang? You don't have to like women to bang them, just as you don't need to like prostitutes for a bang. You're also quite ignorant about the difference between Utopia (Thailand) and whatever <deleted>hole you're from. I'm 66, so my days of "banging" attractive young Caucasian women are long past unless I visit a local brothel in Farangland and pay through the nose.

Funny this, funny that. The only thing I find amusing is that you're making comments without any evidence to support them. The Thai baht fluctuates against all other currencies, but it's not the reason why tourists aren't coming. For 2024, Thailand was the 8th most visited country in the world, with 39.8 million tourists. Numbers were down by 2.7% in the first quarter of this year, with a steep decline in May. You might focus on other reasons for the decline. The weather might be one reason, as May-June was the worst, wettest weather I've ever seen in Thailand for 20 years (for this time of year). Tourists are able to read weather reports, and no one wants to visit a country where it is raining heavily every day. Then take a look at what has been going on in the world since Trump's "Liberation Day" on April 2. A lot of economies are suffering. There's a lot of geopolitical tension and serious wars brewing.

You've spent full days in gentlemen's clubs and other bars to tally how often the girls are going on jobs? How do you get time to post? You've got a problem and should seek help. You can't judge the general bar girl population by the prettiest girls. On average, girls are making very little money. For every "prettiest girl", there are hundreds of low earners. But your suggestion that the prettiest girls are doing 4-6 per day is hogwash. The high-demand girls are looking for big spenders, not frequent turnover. What is obvious is that you have a vivid imagination.

I'll focus on the Thai baht. Take a look at the USD/THB chart, and you'll see the THB is trading at about the average price for the last 14 years (against the USD). People visit Thailand from all over the world, and some currencies have done better against the baht historically, but it's not a reason not to visit Thailand.

Anyone who thinks most of these girls have rented to thousands has not been to Thailand and doesn't have a clue. If you visit Pattaya, where a large number of girls are for hire, it's obvious that most of these girls have a very hard time reaching one rental a month if they are lucky. The customer-to-girl ratio is very low, especially now in the low season, and the competition is steep. It's not a good way for most to make money. Most of them are just trying to get some drink commission, and most end up leaving and going back to their provinces due to a lack of business and "no money". The only reason the place is loaded with girls is that so many come to try, and most fail. They hear about the success stories and want to try for themselves to win the jackpot. It's quite sad to see how they struggle to make money. If expats and tourists stopped thinking with their penises and used their brains, they would know what really goes on.

It's quite a dumb question. They are not kept women. Most had children before they entered bar service and took on the work in a desperate struggle to support their children AND their family. Most are uneducated and don't have many options, and often they are pushed into this work by their parents. Whatever you may think of them as SINGLE mothers, did you not consider how good the fathers are? The men who p*ssed off and left the mother with all the responsibilities.
