What use is $ to someone whose local currency is something different. The income is quoted in Baht and expenses will be in Baht. Worse, you wrote neither Baht nor US$. You do know that there are Australians, Canadians, New Zealander’s etc who inhabit this board, don’t you? So at least decide on the currency in which you will quote. Go on ! Give em a bath then !????

You do know that you can have Thai friends that you don’t need to hire… don’t you? Your world is the way it seems because you have created that illusion. I remember leaving one of my U.K debit cards with a Thai friend who worked as a hotel receptionist. By friend, I mean friend, not a hired help, but someone with whom I had a genuine friendship. Whenever I had a special occasion, such as mum’s birthday, I might ask her to take out some cash in order to buy some gold ornament or chain and also to help herself to anything needed. She would go after work to fulfil my request and refused to take anything for herself. I would have to insist on her taking some to cover her costs. For me it’s just mortifying the way in which you describe Thai women and women in general. You lay with dogs, you can catch fleas. Not everyone chooses to lay with them and so they may have a completely different experience than you. My friends didn’t cost me anything to maintain. The fact that for you it seems normal is somewhat revealing in itself. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextG Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 5 hours ago, OneMoreFarang said: Interesting that you think girlfriend and p4p is the same. Obviously it's possible to manage many situations alone. But there is an advantage to learn lots of details from a local friend. For some, it is. The people who they describe as their ‘girlfriend’ are so obviously not. Just there for as long as the money keeps flowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of savings for travel and such but just reg expenses like insurance for 2 cars, maintenance, tires, school fees, house improvements, I drop 30k in my lady's bank each month just because I can.

I think in general a reasonable Thai girlfriend helps to save money in Thailand. She will know where the market is, fruits of the season, and many such details. Obviously a farang can learn such things. But it will take a long time and it will be a lot easier with a girlfriend together. While I agree with the sentiment, I never managed to find the place where Thai girls who want to live with broke farangs hang out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were lucky then. I always took my rentals to the beach where they were as clueless about the area as I. Usually the most help they were was staying with the bags while I looked for a place to stay. Luckily I didn't have them along for their local knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
