Your 10% guesstimate is far too low. And of course it is much easier not to find such a woman for many guys as it is easer to go for the low hanging fruit, all that is needed is money. Such a woman would want to meet an equal not some average bloke with a thick wallet, well thick compared to the poor Thais they end up with.

I won't waste my time going through and explaining all that yet again, I would rather watch paint dry. What about guys who are with women with a lot of their own money, property, rental income, from a business they had of their own making, you wold not know as you have to buy all of your women, such women would have no interest in you and your attitude.

The letter is confusing, it does not state the amount? And it states it depends on the type of visa? When you refer to BBL are you referring to Bangkok Bank?

The only problem with that method is Australia is full of Australians with very annoying accents. 😄

Like many people you just got old and miserable, you are the one who has changed. Thailand was great when I first came here in 1987 and is even better now. Phuket has the best of all worlds.

That is why most of us stay away from bar girls and prostitutes. You said, "You sound like you not really getting much if I am to be honest." All of us have wallets, any idiot can buy one (or ten) as you are doing, I would hide the fact I have to pay for it if I was you. "Hey guys look at me I have hired a prostitute". "We and everyone else could see that as soon as you both walked into the building" 😄

True and in addition most women work and the couple provide for each other. True, if they have children then it is normally the woman who stays at home until she can go back to her career later on. Some guys do that too, it is not for me but I do not look down on it. Hence we have women in education, commerce, doctors etc, they do not just wait for a guy to sponsor them. I have noticed many guys on this blog over the years do have the attitude where women are just for sex and are waiting for a farang with a wallet but that is a reflection of these guys and not women in general as these types of guys can only get women if they pay for them and thus have a distorted view of the word. Or they pretend that is the way of the world in order to convince themselves they are not a loser. I just laugh when I hear such remarks first hand before ignoring them and then move on. I did say once to a guy though in Thailand, if you think all women are for sale then go into a bank, ask any woman working there if she will go with you for money and I bet you twenty thousand baht the security guard will throw you out or the police will be called.

What has changed is many of the guys have changed into old winging moaners. What has changed is they have become old and with it miserable. Thailand is still a great place if we have a positive attitude and see the good things. And it is still dirt cheap if we have a pension, investment income arriving from the West. I was back in the UK for five months earlier this year, I could not believe the cost of things and I only left in 2022. I went to a restaurant and had a few beers, a meal for two and it cost 4700 baht. Simple examples, 1 litre of vodka 915 baht uk, 420baht in Thailand. Petrol 59 baht/litre UK, Thailand 34 baht.

I have done three annual visa extensions. I have the 800k in the bank two months before the extension and three months after, then I use the money in the account so it is stays over 400k at around 450k, then two months before the extension I top it up again. I once went to get a visa extension but it was one day before the two month rule, the immigration officer told me to come back the next day so the two month rule was fulfilled. I doubt Bangkok bank have anything to do with the rules of the extension, that is up to us, they do not work for the immigration office and if so why only Bangkok bank? It makes no logical sense.

Your wallet does, you just don't realise it. No young woman anywhere in the world fancies old guys. And I suppose as far as the women are concerned the older we are the better as it is closer to the date we will be out of here and the bag of money up for grabs. 😃 I used to get a lot of attention from women when I was younger, now at 69 if a young woman is interested in my I know it is because of that big bulge in my trousers, the wallet I mean not the other thing. 😃

Yes the mutual things are shared in normal relationship between the man and the woman, they all shared equally. It is a two way thing. That has nothing to do with an old bloke paying for a young girl, the relationship is based on sex for the guy, the women pretending to like the old guy, it is very shallow. Why don't the guys just hire one on a daily basis and cut out all of the other nonsense I wonder. Signing off now as I have some 'work' to do.

Many of the women working in non sex jobs are divorced. And what has the few tourist areas have to do with the vast parts of Thailand which do not have tourist areas, where do those women work. Are you saying all divorced Thai women can only work in tourist areas as sex workers ? Many farangs fall for that sort of nonsense all the time and end up with an empty wallet and bank account as far as some of the stories I have heard.

Well in that case it is a mutual relationship, it may be the humour we find attractive, or shared interests, many things related to personality, sure we choose someone we get on with unless we are desperate. Those are mutually beneficial feelings not financial transactions. That has nothing to do with old blokes buying young women who are with them purely and simply for money.

I do not have anything agains prostitutes, I just laugh at the very many guys on this blog who seem to show off they have bought a young woman. I would keep such an embarrassing thing secret. Any one of us could do it, nothing to be proud of. Don't the old blokes know when they walked down the street strutting like a winner with the young girl on their arm, all the other people know they are losers.

I can only go on what I experience. My mother and father worked and so my brother and sister, they paid together. Most of my friends have wives etc who work and pay their way. I do not mix with the farangs with young paid for women, I avoid them. My wife before divorce worked all of her life, she had her own business, we paid together. My current long time partner owns nine houses, she bought them from the proceeds of her own work in her business, she has rental income monthly. I own rental property in the UK and I get a pension, we pay our way together. I do see some farangs in Thailand who have paid and are paying for Thai women, they mix with other who are doing the same and think it is the norm and so have a false view of the country.

They pray on gullible people who will follow their sob stories and it works, I have seen it so many times. I see it has worked on you as well. I had a friend who had a restaurant in Phuket for twenty years, he had friends who owned girly bars and would tell this friend of the goings on at those bars. The girls who 95% are from Issan (according to the bar owners) tell the idiot blokes they are poor and have to feed mamma and papa and the sick buffalo and do not want to do this job but they are forced to. There are lots of vacancies for standard jobs in places like Phuket but that would mean working for a living. The guys fall for it and send them money on a monthly basis. It is like having a Time Share for the guys but instead of a holiday home they have a holiday whore for a couple of weeks a year. The bar girls have a few of these guys doing the same thing and are proud of it and show off with a feeling of pride. So funny.

I replied to the comment, "If you do not yet have a Thai bank account do not use Bangkok Bank as they freeze your 800k for 4 months after the day you apply for the bank letters needed for your 12 month extension. " The comment implied it was a standard action, it is not as my account has never been frozen. And why would they freeze the account for four months when the requirement needed for the visa extension is 800k in the bank for only three months. There are lots of reasons for freezing a bank account. I had a bank account frozen in the UK once. How would you know why all the reported bank account freezes were due to the fictitious four month rule? A Crystal ball?

I will just laugh as you are quite clearly mad. Most women in the two countries mentioned work. Do not judge the world by your own experience of women. But carry on with that attitude and you may convince yourself that your personal experience of only being able to get a woman is by paying for her and you will be happy. Good luck. 😃

In that case in your dreamworld the female members of your family are included in your idea of women. What a way to think of your mother for example, terrible. I am not saying that but you are due to your attitude to all women.

Stupid are those who only live in bar girl land. 😃

One percent of women sell themselves in Thailand, that is similar percentage to most countries in the world. The other women who are from the background or situation you described they work, they would never dream of working in the sex trade. I am not talking of massage in general as working in tradition Thai massage (not the sex shops) is perfectly acceptable. I see you have fallen for the poor girl sob stories as many foolish farangs do. Standard Thais hate bar girls etc, they give the rest of Thailand a bad name. I am asked many times by standard Thai women, why do farangs go for bar girls, can they not find other girls. My answer is always, no they can not.

It is a pity you have such a low view of women. I feel sorry for you, it must be a reflection on your own personal experiences. Don't you realise your comment encapsulates your mother, sisters, nieces, aunties etc, what a sad way to look at the world.

A hooker wants everyone's money no matter what age. Normal women generally have a job and have their own money and work together with their partner financially and are in a mutual relationship. That is how it generally works in my experience of my relationships and the people around me. It is not normal for a very young woman to fancy an old bloke anywhere in the world so we know they are with them for the money, that is simple to understand. But some guys are dim and can not see it.

I see so the young woman sells herself to an old bloke but yet she is honest, moral and has struck a deal with the old bloke to be faithful and be only with him. First off I doubt very much if such a girl is honest, if she can sell herself then she can do anything. But the old guys will keep on dreaming and assuming their young girl is special and different from the other hookers, cos she said so. I do laugh when eventually the old guys are ripped off though. What I do not understand is if these guys only want sex with a young girl why do they hire them full time, why not pick and choose different girls and pay as they go, that would be far less risky re losing the shirts on their back. I would feel embarrassed walking down the street with a girl young enough to be my daughter with everyone one sniggering behind my back, including the young girl.

You don't seem to understand typical convoluted Thai logic, it is all around us on a daily basis. 😄 Question while driving: "Shall I turn right or left at the traffic lights" Answer" "Yes".
