Alcohol is never the answer. To any problem.

Not care about your post 
but what the hell do you care what someone dose with his or hers money in thailand.
not your money .
not like books , 

I've downloaded 8h sound of continous waterfall to my phone, to listen to when i go to bed and during the whole night. It effectively repress awareness of my tinnitus as well as other disturbing sounds from birds , car noice etc. My next step is to find some comfortable headphones to wear during night, any suggestions?
 

I didn´t even spend that amount when I lived in Sweden. But ofcourse you could spend 12 000 baht a day depending of what you want to do. Personally I think 2000 Baht for a holliday per day is more normal.

Up to you and up to them , what you care what they do with they life .

 

Lives lower Sukie and spends time in Pattaya! Did you come to Thailand for the weather, beaches and cuisine or what! Perhaps consider getting out and taking a look at Thailand? I dunno, just a thought!

I've been around, an island is and Island and I would slit my wrists if I was forced into country life here like so many that marry little black things and build a mansion on her papa's farm

Bangkok and pattaya is heaven compared to that. I love them both with all my heart lol

You did research then, cos l ain't in your 'everybody knows'...

Maybe I should have said nearly everyone knows excluding trans. I think if you google chiang mai and pensioner you will have more than enough info

Keeps in mind it has the cheapest housing in Thailand when you consider its also a big town with approx 40000 expats

Maybe you know some that do care and have expectations but I would suspect in the "John" profession its all about client and turnover as that's where the money is. I have not seen any smartly dressed guys with bar girls walking around in my tenure here. Usually I have seen them in shorts, sandals T shirts and not many look well groomed. Again not saying there aren't some, speaking generally.
 
 
 
 

your only asking for trouble if you can,t even speak basic Thai. Love the every Thai in Pattaya speaks English arguement. Must be a different Pattaya.

Don't know how to delete photos. Post shorted for brevity.
 
Sorry, but I scorn the whole "learn the language" fallacy. Basic Thai is all that is required in most parts of Thailand. Even if living in the village, unless alone for some strange reason, conversational Thai is not necessary.
I have been living in Thailand long enough to be able to say that. Unless one actually wants to hang with Thais that speak no English, and I certainly don't, it has never been necessary.
However, that's not to say one should not do so if one wants to spend the time and effort.
As for dating bargirls ( hookers ), I have met many that are lovely people, and don't deserve the disrespect you and others give to them. Of course some are bad people, just like many non hooker people I have had the misfortune to associate with, but not all by a long chalk.

 
I suspect this is due to the company they keep as the expectations are very low. Bar girls( hookers) do not care how the man looks, dresses or smells

 
I was referring to long term expats, people with families and real estate etc, not long stay holiday makers living hand to mouth.

If I still wanted to get to know some of those ladies in Nana or Cowboy, I wouldn't give a rat's bottom about where the bosses money came from, but I would be thanking the deity that such places exist.
BTW I know enough bargirls to know that any reference to trafficked or forced participation is BS, if that is what you were implying.

No, am serious. ive no idea what they are but I see most of the question has been just answered.
 
Still don't know what outfall is though. Google suggests "the place where a river, drain, or sewer empties into the sea, a river, or a lake." but I dont think that is whats meant.

 
What is;
UTH ?
Outfall ?
UDRU ?

So Bt.1000 per day all in, must be an exciting and fun filled 2 weeks !!
 
 

 

I think you'll find the average is around 55k a month.

Ha ha ha, no way! I just spent a month there and stayed in a condotel with many long term residents and recall one conversation about electricity bills and turned out none used air-conditioning, and it was hot!

I think 200 baht electric bill was the average lol

I suspect the biggest category (who are effectively ultimately achievng the same as suicide) are those who are drinking themselves to death and in reality know it and don't want to change it.  I agree it could be because they they do not want to go back to 'whence they came' or indeed because they have lost their souls. Difficult to understand (as per Thread topic) and thought provoking.

I don't really get the cutting off all ties thingy

What are the ties people speak of?

I knew what you meant, Peterw42.  Purchased a green tea smoothie thingy for my wife at Starbucks the other day and it nearly did come to an average days wages for a Thai.

It's think it's disgraceful that many bars still use the red light trick. It's pretty hard as a local to tell the difference but a drunk tourist has little chance

The way I see it you done good. When you eventually find out the truth you either got Away with just a 20k loss or your lady is honest and a winner. Good luck either Way

I ordered some medical equipment to my home in bangkok the Value 350 USD.

I'm not in bangkok for a few days but this invoice has arrived via email. Can anyone make sense of it? What are the fees and where can I pick it up?

So this is about the Gf bailing out dad and your not in the country right? Just because she never hit you up before before doesn't mean it's not BS
Think long and hard about this.

Now if she put him up to it why is she still in tears today? Do you think she wants police attention at her buisness? This was simply a young boy doing something stupid. Her son came here 2 months ago and was only supposse to stay for 10 days. My wifes boss then offerd him a job to work the night shift. He was given a good oppurtunity to make some money and has since ruined that chance. My wife has lost money over this and the guesthouse has also recieved bad rep. I highly doubt she would want any of this to happen. She has been running this guesthouse for 4 years and this is the FIRST time anything like this has ever happend.
