...The sweet and fun girls far outweigh the hardened streetwalkers. Treat them well, and they'll do the same.

It would have been more accurate if you wrote "hardened working girls" because the street walkers are the least hardened and the sweetest gurls, IMO.

Just curious whether the ladies ever get jealous or bitchy over each other when buying LD to different ladies. Say. You buy a LD and become touchy with each other but then someone else catches your eye. You then buy her a LD and it goes on. Do they get bitchy?

Some might but very few. It all depends on the girl and to an extent how you are behaving. If she generally has a tough time getting drinks or bar fines then she will feel it more but it's not jealousy at best a disappointment. It also depends how long you have spent with her and whether you made any promises or not. Personally I have never found saying bye after buying a drink an issue. Bottom line it's your night your buck.

And this is why farang punters get higher prices and less service.

You mean because of the people that would walk into McDonald's and let the cashier tell them what they are going to pay for and eat because she is a human and seems nice and fun?

Don't do this at all. They are women. Most of them are sweet and fun. Don't forget that. You are the paying customer and can do what you want, but treating someone like she is just a piece of meat is wrong, no matter what they sell or how much money you have.

That and the woman will lose face if you drop her. It's an odd rule, but once she loses face and talks trash about you to the other girls, your experience at the bar will not be for the better.

Totally agree, wego so much mote mileage (true pleasure) by treating our girls as what they are: humans trying to get by. The sweet and fun girls far outweigh the hardened streetwalkers. Treat them well, and they'll do the same.

If they do, tell them to get lost. Never forget they are hookers, and you're the paying customer.

Any jealousy is all gamesmanship. Feel free to buy drinks for whoever you feel like. Don't let any girl dictate how many drinks you need to buy her or her 'sisters'.

Personally if any of my girls got jealous of me buying drinks for a new hot girl I would stop buying drinks for my regular girl.

Same deal with Fidelity debit card at Thai ATMs. Exchange rate is whatever is posted at that moment on XE.com, which is much better than any place I can exchange US $100 bills for Thai baht.

General consensus is that Superrich1965 and Vasu have the highest rates for currency exchange. I also use the money changers on Soi Arab as they are in the same ballpark. As of this writing the USD / THB cross is:

XE.com= 31.53.

Superrich1965 = 31.47.

Vasu = 31.43.

Cheaper. Over 1 million baht.

If your not Australian, all I can suggest is download the free app plug in your numbers and currency (you don't have to complete the transaction) and compare it to your bank's retail FX rates and charges.

I know on small amounts I win because of low fees and in larger amounts I still win because of the better FX rates.

[Banana Boi]

What's your definition of "better ways" and "large sums".

Cheaper. Over 1 million baht.

Littlebigman, I must not be understanding something because why didn't you just transfer the money from your Credit Union account to your Schwab investment account. You can keep cash in your Schwab account. You must of had a reason.

I've been with this Credit Union for 40 years although a Credit Union it is a full service with branches all over the country. For personal reason trustee issues, my Schwab account majority of investments money is tied with me and my brother. Let's just say keeping things separate and not co-mingling assets with Charles Schwab and my Credit Union has worked so far so I'm happy with things. Plus the Credit Union majority of my money is kept in timely CD's paying me 2. 50 right now my Charles Schwab conservative investment average 12 percent right now then I have a larger account with Vanguard. In a few years if all things go as planned I will need to take a minimum withdraw from the account and transfer that money to Thailand which should be close to a 1 million baht a year before taxes and still leave the principle intact. At that time I hope my sex drive and interest return so I will hit the Go Go circle again?
