[QUOTE=FKKguide]Right-on! They love'em! I gave my wife a huge massage wand from the drug store and she loved it. Made for great, lazy multi-orgasmic intercourse too.
When she divorced me, I repossesed it. She almost cried for "her machine". She obviously loved it and my dog more than me.
So be careful!
PM me for info on gide and consulting services in TH and Germany.[/QUOTE]FKKGuide,
As a secretive monger who is away from GF a lot, I take pity on her and let her enjoy herself with a vibrator. Actually she has 3 different ones now depending on mood wanting strong vibes or soft vibes. She actaully has little trouble orgasming anyway, but vibes send her crazy. Her only problem is explaining the gadgets to her 6 year old daughter.
I have to put up with a lot of wanking while away.
Do play up abroad somewhat, e.g. "The Palace" in Frankfurt where I actually change to European girls, or black caribean girls, basically stunning and fun girls from almost anywhere. Least favourite girls are from UK, USA, Australia (too much like home).
Thanks Traveler. You can probably appreciate that there is a long story and a long history. But when I have given her cash, it has triggered an "I'm not in this for the money" conversation. I thought I would try something different. I fully expect (actually hope) that anything I give her will be pawned. In fact, I'm more worried that if I give her something too personal, she'll hold on to it as a keep-sake and not pawn it. She needs the cash. So, I'm looking for what I would consider a happy middle ground. Part of me still balks at giving pure gold. To me, it might as well be cash. I'm not sure how she would feel about it. So, I know gold is the next best thing, but I'm wondering what the market is like for jewelry that is a bit harder to melt down.
p.s. just to avoid some doubts, this is not a question of a newbie farang falling for a bar girl and her sob story about a dead water buffalo.
[QUOTE=The Traveler]Nutso,
I understand why you want to give her something different, but if you are worried that she might sell it, follow RA's advice. Everything can and will be sold if in need. The only difference might be that she got far less at the pawn shop than you had to pay for and than it is worth. So you should ask yourself who you want to get that little difference, the pawn shop owner or the girl ?

Nutso,
jewelry made of Farang gold or with gems is as easy to pawn/sell as jewelry made of Thai gold, but she will get far less than you had to pay for.
Why not buy her a bit gold and put some money in her bank account ? Tell her it`s for the room rent or anything similar. This way you won't make her feel like paying for sex, but rather support her daily life.

Then get her a plain gold baht bracelet. That way she can keep and wear it or sell it for about what you paid for it. You won't want to get her gold baht bars.
GOLD: TT and RA have got this one dead on. Cash is probably best but Gold is definitely number two on the list. The most important thing to consider when giving a gift is your own intentions. Are you giving the gift out of a true sense of generosity or is it a subtle form of payment for past and/or future service contracts?
I think this is an extremely important issue to consider because of the fact that "what goes around comes around", and personal intentions are the reserve currency in the Karmic world. Wise is the one who carries a strong currency in the world of Karma.
Now why is it that currency and/or gold is the preferred choice of the TG? I believe it stems from the Thais' sense of responsibility, which is deeply ingrained in their psyche by the operant conditioning of their culture.
In essence, the most highly regarded gift a man can give to a Thai woman is a gift that clearly indicates his desire to be responsible for her. And better is the gift that demonstrates that he is indeed capable of the responsibility.
The pundits may well laugh at such a statement, but the day will come when their laughter returns as a heavy weight on their shoulder and that will be the first day they understand what has been said.
My current girlfriend is a good example. I recently made a few posts (in a somewhat boastful manner) which demonstrated that my average cost for sex with her was about seven or eight hundred Baht. Well friends, that has all but been thrown out the window. Two days ago I gave her twelve thousand Baht in order for her to retrieve 1.5 Baht of gold from the pawn shop before the "contract for pawn" expired.
One reason I settled her pawn contract is because 1.5 baht of gold is currently worth roughly eighteen thousand baht, but the primary reason I gave her that money is because I wanted her to know that I wanted to be semi-responsible for her. I have not made any conclusions that my current girlfriend is "the one", but I have concluded that she is an important part of my present life and I can live with that, believe me.
Since I've met her my luck has taken a huge turn for the good and I consider her presence in my life as one of the main reasons for that. My work (which is stock market speculation) has been quite good during the course of the past six weeks. In fact, I've managed to rack up one million Baht of capital gains shorting the Nasdaq 100. :)
Okay . . . That's my two Baht on gifts.

I think now she is planning to get even more from you.
I hope I am wrong.
Watch for a new story soon she will need more.
Best of luck.
Poster,
" Are you giving the gift out of a true sense of generosity or is it a subtle form of payment for past and/or future service contracts?"
Well, yeah, I think the girl would assume an advance payment for services or a nice tip...
What happened to either inexpensive or expensive gifts? I have given them before and they were much appreciated. Guys, I think not all women are for rent or for sell in Thailand at all times. If you are with a P/P girl then sure cash is what they expect but is that a gift? They expect it because that's how they make their money... So, if you give her above and beyond the cash "fee" she already expects then it would be a gift or a nice tip to her.
Jing?

Thanks to all of you for the suggestions. I decided to go with the advice of Traveler/RA and got a simple gold bracelot with a small amount of cash. And, to answer Posterlion's question, the issue is perhaps one of karma. Events that she doesn't care much about but which I can't let go (thank my damned Judeo-Christian upbringing for that one).
[QUOTE=Esbobes]I think she took you they always want more.[/QUOTE]
Everybody wants more, at least that's my experience. In regard to your opinion that I was "taken", I offered to pay her pawn contract. She never once asked me to pay it for her. I must admit the gold she is now wearing looks quite nice on her.
Are you speaking from experience? I noticed you have racked up a grand total of four posts. Please feel free to expound on your position with a real life example or two.
[QUOTE=Esbobes]I think now she is planning to get even more from you.[/QUOTE]
Anything is possible. I'll grant you that.
[QUOTE=Esbobes]I hope I am wrong.[/QUOTE]
You are wrong. I'm certain of it.
[QUOTE=Esbobes]Watch for a new story soon she will need more.[/QUOTE]
An old girlfriend of hers flew in from Taiwan today to get a checkup at the hospital and was diagnosed with cancer in the uterus. So today is a sad day for the both of us, but I doubt this will end up being one of those "new" stories that you mentioned. Don't worry, I'll keep the ISG board posted. I've been doing that for three years and three girlfriends now.
[QUOTE=Esbobes]Best of luck.[/QUOTE]
Thank you sir. :)

You would be 100% correct. I think I've been pretty lucky in that I have not become attached to a true-to-life-gold-digger since I've been in Thailand. If this girl turns out to be the best and I find I've been taken by her I will report it to this board for the benefit of all concerned jing jing. :)
And even if she is a gold digger, I did her the favour because I really think she changed my luck on the electronic trading floor and because, well . . . I also really like her! Hmmm . . . Now this has me wondering, did I give her the gift out of true generosity or was it a subtle form of present or future payment. I have to admit, it's hardly ever easy to know your true motives sometimes! Anyway, I won't be worried about the money, but I will be quite sad if she dissapoints me in the normally anticipated way. :(

Poster, since we were just talking about Columbian flake, are you still up, or already up?
well, off for my morning walk on the beach.....
life is good.
My friend has been living with, not married to, a mid forties Thai woman and bought a house in her name. They have part of her family living with them. She has a loan for part of the house and the equity he has in the home is about six million baht. I have told him that if he leaves and discontinues support he will lose all the equity in the property. He want to discuss the situation with a lawyer sinice he could not put the house in his name under Thai law there may be some way he can recover his equity by requiring her to sell the house or he is willing to split the equity with her. If anyone knows a good honest attorney please email me back.
Thanks

Sounds like your friend should have taken the time to RTFF, but now it sounds like it's too late.
Sorry Sir, but I can't help in this area because I don't do any business in Thailand, but there are a few guys on this board that might be able to help your friend.
I think the best thing you can do for your friend is give him the ISG web addy and let him ask the questions, as he probably has better details of his situation.
On the other hand, it sounds like he is lacking quite a few details where it counts the most. heh heh. Opps! Sorry. :)
