Right now, I have a lady from Isaan begging me for money so she can work in Pattaya. She sends me the same messages every month. Apparently, she sends messages to hundreds, if not thousands, of Farangs. Then, when she gets money, she buys gold for her Thai husband. Amazingly, she posts photos on Facebook of the gold, or her husband after she collects the money. She has no respect for her idiot sponsors.

I resemble that remark. Seriously, even a couple of days can be too long. By the second night, the lady worries what her Thai boyfriend is doing in her absence.

This may sober you up.

The problem is that Thai ladies are bored with a Farang after a few days unless a pot of big money is imminent.

I had a bargirl tell me the truth yesterday: She has 5 sponsors sending her money. 1 English husband. Not much money, so she doesn't see him much. 1 customer who barfines her every day, with few exceptions. 1 young Black American who has barfined her a few times and does boom-boom good. 1 Thai man who dumped her for another Thai lady who has more money. He moved back to Udon Thani, and will see her if she goes there. But his new lady won't let him go to Pattaya. He can't live with the new Thai lady as she has a Farang husband. But the bargirl is sad many days since she misses her Thai boyfriend. She has 1 lady friend in Phuket who she really misses. She claims the relationship is platonic, but doesn't remember what I know. So, I guess that's a new bargirl lie: "My lady friend and I not boom-boom".

I always use Turbo Tax, never had a problem. One thing I did after I retired to Thailand, I use Texas as my state of residence, so no need to file a Texas state tax return.

What is FUBAR? Is the tax authority for the state of Florida?

A bargirl I have know for many years is pressing me to be her boyfriend. A tough decision. She lies about everything, and drinks herself into oblivion every night. She has a full time Farang customer who pays her by the month. She tries to ignore him. She has a Thai husband who makes 330 baht a day (she lives with him). One time I left Thailand for a few weeks, she professed her undying love as I left. Within a week, she was engaged to a new customer. Needless to say, I don't take her seriously. In fact, I am going with her sister, which makes her crazy. The lesson: no need for a Thai girlfriend, you can have 2 or more.

Some lady told me her brother drove for Bolt. He didn't know how to turn off the app while he was sleeping, and somehow the app was accepting customers. He was fired by Bolt after too many complaints.

The inevitable response from a bargirl when you catch her in a lie: "Who told you?"

An alternate answer for the OP: Take the Jomtien bus to Suvarnaphumi airport, rail link into Bangkok.

A related question: how to get to the North Pattaya bus station without taking a taxi.

Most steak sold at supermarkets has been frozen. So, not really top quality.

Yep, I figured this out all by myself. Actually, my discovery was how elaborate their lies can be.

I have been having a bargirl message me constantly since I dropped her from my rotation last month. Yesterday, she was sending messages all day, begging for another chance. For context, she has a Thai husband, and a Farang boyfriend in Pattaya who pays her by the month. So, clearly she is just looking for another customer, but I have no lack of ladies. Today, she posted a photo of herself on Facebook with a bouquet of flowers; apparently, she has been entertaining a new customer, who she is grooming as a sponsor when he goes home. The lesson here is to ignore sad stories and pleas from bargirls, they are just looking for another paycheck.

Jackpot! Lazada now supports bill pay for PEA in Pattaya. You guys with banks other than Bangkok Bank don't need this, but I did. No more trips to 7/11 to pay my electric bill.

Brothels in Pattaya? Oh, my God! I am shocked! But, if you are going to call every bar with short time rooms a "brothel", that would be very confusing. There are different flavors of brothels, a GC being one flavor. Soi 6 has many brothels, not too many gentlemens' clubs there.

Yep, that was the trick.

Lazada offers me 2 options for payment under Lazada Wallet: A link to 3 banks or a TruePay account. The other top approach requires the user to provide bank account information, including Thai Citizen ID, which I don't have. Any idea how to simply add a credit card to Lazada, so I can pay?

I expect a boatload of messages tomorrow morning from bargirls who wake up and realize they aren't going to make any money at the bar. Note that I posted the notice on my Facebook last week, but you can't expect a bargirl to plan ahead. The killer will be when they go to the boy karaoke bar at 1 am (March 7), but they don't have any money, or at least not enough to buy many boy drinks.

Why are the baht buses so crowded?

Why are the baht buses so full in Pattaya now?

I always thought those were Farang wives looking for their husbands.

I have never heard of a Farang lady going with a Thai bargirl. I have heard of bargirls going with Farang couples, though. And, yeah, I did once see a solo Farang lady enjoying a gogo dancer, much to the alarm of the gogo dancer.

Classic Thai economic planning: if one shop is successful, put in 20 more, right next door.
