I am agreed. There are better ways for the US to confirm it’s’ support of Taiwan without stirring up more problems.

Yeah, my flight out was delayed by 90 minutes, and I almost missed my connection to Singapore. And there were loads of elderly Farangs with young Thai wives at the airport. If you are familiar with the 3 day rule, you probably can’t imagine having a Thai lady for years on end.

I'm in Udon Thani at the moment. The number of elderly Farangs accompanied by relatively younger Thai ladies here is fairly amazing. I guess that particular bargirl retirement strategy seems to be working, for some.

One very common retirement strategy for all Thai ladies is to have kids who will support her when they are adults. In most cases, the female children will be the prime support, as males are not reliable. I have noticed when ladyboys come out of the closet, the mothers are supportive, the fathers not so much. I am wondering if the mothers are thinking that a ladyboy will support her down the road, whereas a son may not. For some bargirls, family support can be as big a drag on earnings as a Thai boyfriend. I know ladies who send 50K baht a month back home.

Of course, one very common retirement strategy is not retire. I know ladies over 50 still working bar.

Still more people i know coming down with a mystery disease. Sick for a week+.

The odds of late entrants surviving in those conditions are small, unless they provide a unique product or service.

I can be a little more specific: don't open a restaurant next to 5 other restaurants. Or a massage shop. Or a salon.

"Bar girl retirement strategies" seems unbelievable?

The #1 method is to discover a service or product that people need, but cannot obtain. Ladies have lots of free time to think about this in the bar between customers. I did that, started a company, and its now a billion dollar enterprise.

I'm not referring to TF ladies, but rather ladies who never actually meet customers, all their interaction is virtual. How would anyone here know how much money they make?

This discussion begs the question of how exactly posters here talk to ladies who work exclusively online.

Because online customers never videochat....

I am referring to countries with accurate statistics, many of which have been posted here repeatedly. BKK Brian reminded me of available statistics in Thailand. At this point, your position should be “thanks for the information “, rather than trolling.

Not all day, it’s all night. And yes, lots of online BS. If they do Thai Friendly, as well, then they have to play telephone in the afternoon and evening. TF is notorious for flakey customers, guys who set up dates even though they aren’t in Pattaya or even in Thailand.

You are writing theoretically. The reality is that dealing online with Farangs ties up the lady from midnight until morning, due to time difference. Then her Thai boyfriend is awake, and she can’t sleep much.

There are a ton of ladies in the bars in Pattaya. Very few customers, though.

Actually, i was referring to jobs in shops dealing with English speaking customers. Plenty of ladies from the Philippines in the shops, virtually zero Thai ladies.

This answers the OP. The baht buses from Pattaya will stop on Beach Road when it reaches Soi Chayuphreuk. Some baht buses run up and down Beach Road south of Soi Chayuphreuk, but these are unscheduled.

23 million will come from India alone.

Actually, Filipinas in UAE have more straight job opportunities because they speak English better than Thai ladies.

The problem is laziness. Its common for them to start trying to weasel out of it, if they think there's a chance the money flow will continue.

You don't seem to have a handle on facts. The vast majority of Covid deaths earlier this year were the unvaccinated.

The lady I am with right now started hacking and wheezing yesterday. We came to Phuket, and she fell asleep at 7 pm. At 9 am, I woke her up for breakfast, after which she fell asleep again. Its past 6pm, and she is still asleep, with some more hacking and wheezing. If she has a cold, its like none I have ever encountered. If she can't make our flight out of here tomorrow, I may have to take her to the hospital.

I know ladies who fell for such schemes. Usually, they can't get out for 30 days.
