BTW...Harris Black is still running his "virtual assistant" scam so beware. He is no longer Runner on Thaivisa so be on the lookout for a new alias.

The Runner account and associated email has been confiscated from Mr. Black. If the moderators permit, we shall use this account to warn members of Harris' up-coming scams.

I was in Shenzhen, China and met several scammers like this. This young guy/girl told me they were stranded in Shenzhen and didn't have the money to eat or go home. I was suspicious and opened up the guy's bag and what do you know he had food in there. I took some pictures of the two scamming <deleted> and told them to buzz off. Maybe I'll post their pics.

The problem here was that they were scamming in the same area as Harris Black (aka:runner) and he hates competition. The only time Harris lies is when he speaks or types. I'd like to know how he opened up the guys bag without getting the shit kicked out of him. If he tried to look into your bag, what would you have done to the little squirt?

If you live in Thailand your main source of savings will be housing(studio apartments are very cheap here), eating out, and women.

I live pretty well here, but I have to content myself with staying in a luxury studio apartment. I'm able to eat out everyday here. I could never afford do that at home.

Oh wait. You mean fuglies still want my money even though I'm 28?

Me thinks that no woman is going to sleep with you unless you've got dosh. You might be able to find a wife/gf, but the question is: how much will she put out?

Yeah right. If love is not about sex, then why do men always love women?

And I doubt any woman would 'love' a man if he were without money. Ever seen a homeless guy with a girlfriend? Uhuh.

Is it complicated to hire a Thai?

I always manage to drink til I'm wasted. Just can't help myself. It's like the final event, drinking those extra beers til you space out.

Sinsod is a huge scam. Much easier and cheaper to find a girl who doesn't request sinsod. There are loads I'm sure.

BTW, what is 'pay for play' or P4P as described earlier. Been here a long time but you guys have lost me on that (or are we not allowed to discuss that?)

some guys just have 'issues' regarding the whole financial/love thing. it's beyond me. what confuses me is where do they get to play for free? after all, they are implying that in some cases they need to pay for it while in other cases no. I don't think it's possible to make love for free. unless you cheat a woman out of financial support.

I don't know why. Maybe it's just one of those things. People tend to group with other people like themselves. For example, the arabs have their little area on Walking Street. I've never seen any arabs venture to Central/North Pattaya and mix with falang.

Some simple rules:

Rent, don't buy property - not ever, not even if ALL your australian friends are raving about their houses.

Hi Harmonica, over the longer term I am considering a house purchase in Thailand, may I ask, what is the reasoning for you not buying property in Thailand.

Regards

Arran.

I would never buy here. marriage + buy house = big no no. also, the prices of some of these condos seem a little on the high side. I'm not paying 2 million for a small studio. I can get much cheaper in the US!

I'm 28 and live in Pattaya. There are not very many young men here, let alone ones who live here year around. So, it will be lonely from that standpoint, there are not many from your agegroup here. I don't know why, maybe young guys just don't travel/have money to come here. But I did it, and live off the money I make from my website. So, I don't know what the excuse is.

well, not really "raped". I only lost about 500 baht. still only got me 2 drinks and a pathetic 5 second dance in front of Russian lady.

What happened, did you enter Galaxy agogo by any chance?

no. did go there before, though. I got raped(financially).

I stopped paying bargirls when the baht went sub 37. sorry, but just can't afford it anymore.

Thanks....Any city names?

On the coast itself in the west, the places I have stayed-in are Anyer, Carita and Labuan. And just in-land a bit are the small-ish towns of Cilegon and Pandeglang. But there are loads of villages, either on the beach or inland a mile or two. We would spend the week-ends on bikes (MTB and road) in this area and its a lovely part of the world. but its pretty quiet, more so even that rural Isan.

There are restrictions on owning land in Indonesia, I think I will rent when I end up there.

But generally speaking, western currencies go a bit further in Java than Bali / Thailand / Malaysia. I guess when I'm in my 60's / 70's I'll be happy to sit on the verandah, watching the sun go down and keeping an eye out for the family. The fishing from the beaches is pretty good there from all reports. The capital Jakarta is about 1.5 hrs away by car, on a usually quiet toll road, and its a great place to live the high-life for a few days.

londo

but two things you will have to get used to in Indonesia is the pollution and the terrible food. so I still think Thailand has an edge over Indonesia as a place for foreigners to live.

Pretty obvious the OP got scammed. Would you pay up if you visited a restaurant and they charged you 5,000 baht for a meal? Nothing more than a veiled robbery.

I stay on Soi Arunotai. Very cheap and I don't have to cross Sukhumvit. about 6-8,000/month will get you a decent studio apt.

came accross a personal ad on line which i found amusing from a BKK freelancer at the end of the ad was "no arabs no thais and no teachers"

glad i am not half arab/thai teacher as i have no chance of a shag (jk, married, newborn... oh, that does mean NO chance)

Ernest

arabs? gang bang?

thai? not like?

teacher? no money?

maybe you just aren't thinking about it.

It helps my bank account too, but I think if I was very rich I would have a very high libido. more money, more horny...

Funny thing is, an executive from AIG can steal ten times the amount and he gets away with it. Get the law only applies to some folks.

Stop driving up real estate prices. Go to a casino if you want to speculate.

I keep a small canister of pepper spray on me. just in case some crazy mau decide to go after me, I'm prepared.
