Author bashing/thread crashing & trashing/venom splashing critics aside....there are useful situations and lessons in the book none the less.....

If your really serious about her,I would advise you to get her out of the bar,and just remember she make's about 20,000 baht a month has rent to pay has to send money for her child.I hate to be negitive but she will be BF by the guy's she likes. But good luck to you and don't do anything too serious,the only way you are going to know what she is doing is to be here full time,I am also a casino worker (retired) Las Vegas. Maybe you can find work somewhwere close,They just opened Japan,Maybe Cambodia ect.ect.Again good luck.

Scooter, you have grasped the marble from my hand.

You are now ready for your November trip. Much wiser you are. Prepared you will be. For the women, I fear.

Props for coming back and telling us what we all suspected. That took cohones.

But don't look for a reason, explanation or logic. She will lie to cover her past lies. Let it go. You just got your degree in Bargirl. Focus on the MBA.

Come in November. Go batshit crazy and enjoy Bangkok. Fall in lust. Drink your weight in beer. Wake up behind a dumpster. Eat insects and throw them up again. Take a 3-some, a fat chick, a midget and a ladyboy and enjoy the circus. Eat Sunrise Tacos...at sunrise. Get a tattoo....

...and then on the second night...

...but most of all...do not go see this girl again...at least not without 2 stunners on your arm. She is manipulative and you are still vulnerable.

Good luck Scooter. We all been there. Most of us grew out of it...some of me didn't.
