  • They are buying the house for themselves too. They live in it. They share their lives with the "sex worker" as a partner. It may not be a perfect situation but I can't help feeling that it is somewhat

    Real tourists don't go to Chaeng Wattana, except the few extending a tourist visa. Most are on visa exempt and leave after a couple of weeks or so. Most tourists pass through Bkk, but few stay lo

If I could go back in time, I'd castrate myself. Now, I'd be rich and happy.

Just because some guy or woman stnding in line at any immigration office looks chinese or sounds chinese doesn't mean they are from china. Lets ty Taiwan, Singapore, and some from Malaysia. 

Lol

The mainlanders usually still stick out like a sore thumb ???? (I suppose you know Chinese and have lived in these countries long enough)

If it was all so transactional, farang could save themselves a LOT of trouble and money by simply buying their sex at massage parlors

 

That's what Chinese and Thai men do

All purchased on credit with the smallest deposit and the longest repayment period.

It's a house of cards ready to fall.

The financing on those cars is absolutely ridiculous too.  I have seen offers with 7 year loans which have huge balloon payments at the end (approximately half the original value) which will need additional financing.  That would bring the overall term to 14 years.  It’s no wonder that many of the Mercedes and BMWs never seem to leave their parking spots at my condo in Bangkok.  I suspect that they can’t afford to drive them unless they want to eat Mama every day.

I'd agree with that.

But I'd add it's the whole experience that counts, searching for the right one, flirting, drinking and negotiating ... all part of the fun. Sometimes I think the flirting/drinking/negotiating is the best bit and don't bother with taking them home.

 

It's like being a teenager again, and looking for a date, but without the elements of doubt, worry and tension.

Car finance is daft. Cars are worthless after 10 years.

Keeping a car untill its worthless is what poor daft people do 

 

Best way is a 3 year 30 % residual so after 3 years you trade up and the trade covers the Ballon of 30 % and you will always stay in the new car loop and having a balloon means your repayments are affordable and the bonus is you will always be in the new car warranty period

No...perpetual financing is what “poor daft people do”.

 

And the balloon payment is money you still owe.  You need equity in order to trade up.

 

Sometimes I wish I had kept 2 of my last 3 cars as they are now worth substantially more than I had originally purchased them for (second hand).

More like 90% right. You just want to pretend to be a mystery.

Some sex worker have “success” but what about the old one who not? How is there life now?

if you have daughter, will you recommend this job/life? Is terrible. Disgusting. Can you do this job? Allow some old guy to ...... you. You can ...... for some sex tourist man? Ergghh.

 

 

I know at least 2 female, Thai, successful bar owners, former bar girls, in 2 different cities, who have happily and without coercion in any way, introoduced their daughters to the trade in their own bar. They don't appear to be disgusted in any way. It's not much different from Thai husbands dropping off and picking up their wives at Nana or a similar venue. Thankfully it is likely a minority who put money above all else ..... oh wait!............

Women that don't want to be sex worker can go work in a sweat shop or plant rice.

 

If I had a daughter I would allow her to do whatever she decided was in her own best interests.

If you haven't done it yourself you can't say it's disgusting. Sex is so wonderful men from all over the west come to Thailand to have sex with Thai women.

If I woke up as a good looking woman I certainly would become a prostitute- beats working. I would, however, never do it without a condom.
