The kids at the school where I teach eating ENORMOUS amounts of sugar every day. Their little bodies burn it up as they are still growing, but once they reach their adult-ish height, it starts storing as fat. Really sad to see. Sugar is the cause of most health problems. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a service, not a commitment, and both parties know what is expected from the contract. Each to his own, though I have nothing against ladies of the night, and would probably use them if I was single as I am not going to be able to attract a 30 year old now. That is leaving money out of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a handy tool from SurveyMonkey to see how adequate that sample size is. https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/ With a population of 30 million, you need 16,632 samples to give you 99% confidence level with a 1% margin of error. 19,000 is overkill. 1% margin or error on a .7% sample size. How does that work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just take a sample in Bangkok and extrapolate that to the whole country. Too many KFC's and McDonalds in BKK.

spidermike007 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 3 hours ago, NoshowJones said: If a guy is decent looking and not overweight, he should never have to pay for sex in Thailand, I came to Thailand about 3 times only for girls, dated market girls, office girls etc. I first arrived in Bangkok through a dating agency and never went near Pattaya, on my second visit I just repeated my first visit. On my third visit I went straight to Pattaya, booked into the Beach Hotel. I knew nothing about the goings on across the road, as I stepped outside to explore, I was approached by a prostitute, was pleasant to her then went on my way. I never knew what a barfine was until another farang told me. I just could not understand why anyone would pay just to get a girl when there were so many of them everywhere, but it soon dawned on me the reason for that when I noticed so many facial haired, tattooed, ugly fat bellied farang around. There is some truth to what you say, but it is limited to guys that are decent looking, in pretty good shape and have really good game. You absolutely need to have good game to be able to get with any civilians. In addition it helps to have some bling if you're on a tight budget there's no way that's going to happen. The other aspect of it is the age gap, if you're a 65-year-old guy looking to get with a 25-year-old gal it's likely not going to happen if she's a pure civilian, and you are not paying for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have coke, fanta, and all their homemade sugar drinks and fried snacks. Lots of sugar in Thai foods, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are working you said, so how many hours per day to you actually spend outdoors around thai people? HR in many companies prefer to hire average height weight, and preferable younger than 25 (maybe older outside cities, with less applicants) Your observations at work, does not give the full picture, due to HR. Go out in a major cities, you will soon realize that media and surveys aren't far from the truth. Survey and media are all lies fake, made up? You can't be serious. Fun banter though, just insert real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could most of them be the ones that returned due to failed farang relationships, no house or car made out of that time with Mr Farang, or gambled it all. Women do change in looks after a decade or so, especially if they don't have the baht coming in from their supporter. Just thinking out aloud.

Why would a cute girl waste a bunch of time in a bar making small talk and sucking up to a bunch of smelly tourists, only to give up a huge chunk of the transaction to mamasan? Today she can peddle it online while she spends her day doing whatever she likes, she can name her own price, and she can keep it all. Only fat grandma's who haven't mastered the knack of Photoshop have to settle for the walk-in trade, lady drinks and bar fines. I used to get both a lot of girls from sites like TF as well others, as well would go to the bars. Both online and in bars, it has been a declining trend since over 5 years. Sure there are plenty to find online and offline but price inflation is as much, as well is obese. I do not buy into this theory that they all switched to online, I believe many simply stopped doing it entirely, at least to farangs. Also many now work for the Chinese since X years, and those guys pay 5K short time easy. The prettier ones are usually to be found there, same as in local Thai places.

He is leaving the most important detail out entirely. Sure: if you are willing to play 'dating' you rarely have to pay initially, he just never sticked with the same one long enough. I don't buy into the 'free girls' theories either, they all cost money, good ones usually even more on the long run.

CHdiver Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 There is just too much ready cooked food around in this country. For example in Jomtien you get Restaurants all along beach rd. Then you get 3 Night Markets again full of places to eat. On both sides of the road you get the mobile carts selling food. Now this weekend you also get a street food festival. Because there is no space left on the street they had to place it on the beach. You see, where ever you go they put food ready to eat in front of you. No chance to slim down.

I was merely explaining the calculation, not commenting on the population of the survey. The newspaper headline mentions the Bangkok population (although not as the source of the data) but the previous surveys make no such distinction so your "Bwahahahahahahahaha" may be misplaced. Similarly, your extrapolation of your industrial estate to the whole of Thailand is just as likely to give biased results due to the limited demographic of the population.
