If you like bar hopping so much, that implies you would be bar fining the girl and going bar hopping with her to other clubs. Therefore, her home bar would not matter right? As I said before, it is common sense that bar fine the girl or not, if you stay in her bar, all her drinks will be charged as lady drinks and she will get her commission. In other bars, it is also possible she will make a deal to get commission there unless you speak up and say something.

Thanks. Typically the night will involve a couple of guys and a couple of girls bouncing around a few bars which may include staying at or returning to my girl's bar.

I don't have a lot of reference points in Patts or LOS generally but in the Philippines I routinely do this and the moment I pay her bar fine, LD prices are no longer payable anywhere. Some will try their luck but I've never had any issues once I point out that I know what the real prices should be. Whether she strikes deals with other bars we get to, I don't know but I have never noticed inflated prices for girl (s) drinks.

I should emphasise that I'm not out to Cheap Charlie the girl. I'm happy to pay for LDs during the interview process, fair BFs and tips. To me it makes sense to give the girl 100% of a larger tip for a great fun night than a series of small commissions from various drinks. However, if that is not the accepted system, then it just needs to be factored into the tips and overall night's costs.

I think I have shilled for google Fi here before. For americans it is a great international mobile voice and data service but I have used rather in extensively in many countries including columbia, the philippines, thailand, Cambodia, malaysia, Indonesia, Australia but you get the idea. You can save a few baht getting a local sim card but for me the convenience of having my phone active wheels down in a new country is more than worth a couple of dollars. The knock on google Fi used to be it didn't support a wide varriety of phones (I love my Pixel), but it now supports many Samsung and iPhone models. If interested see below, we both get a $20 services credit if you sing up. Feel free to mesage me with any questions.

Can a girl with a Thai SIM easily reach your Google Fi number? Will she have to pay extra to call your number?

Guys, I like bar hopping if the girl is fun to be with.

What's the general rule in Thailand for drinks bought for a girl in her home bar after her bar fine is paid. Are they normal drinks or charged as LDs?

In my experience (as a non-native speaker) the native speakers are often the hardest to follow because they speak too fast, don't articulate very well and/or have a strong accent.

Yes absolutely correct. Native speakers can be very lazy for using correct English, speak too fast, don't move the mouth, etc. Mumble. An English colleague is very difficult due to speed and lack of mouth movement like a ventriloquist. Indians and Irish are also noted for habitually speaking with a quite closed mouth, and can be indistinct.

When first learning Thai, I found I could not understand Bangkok speakers at all well, for similar reasons. Learned a lot from a Songkhla girl who did not normally speak Central Thai, because she spoke normal Thai much slower and more clearly, and limited the vocab to simpler stuff.

Speaking good Thai requires a mouth opened a lot more than some people are used to. Without that some vowels will just be wrong.

English is a living language, and always has been adaptive. The noun / verb structure of "my bad" might be hidden, but it is there.

There are more Americans speaking English than there are native speakers in the Queen's realm. Much as there are more Latin Americans who speak "español" than there are Spaniards speaking Castellano.

The hell with it, the entire world is turning to txt and lols anyway!

The classic example is "My bad". This does have a verb and appears to have an advective and a possessive without a noun, so appears in other countries to be completely meaningless. I thought is was almost a rule you can't have a possessive without a noun. In contrast "It's mine" does have a noun and verb.

Strange pronunciation is actually the hardest thing to follow so you can't beat Glasgow English for being difficult to follow.

I struggle with Thai and Philippino English, especially over the phone and if speaker has a very deep voice. I had to ask the air ticket booking guy to transfer me to a girl, his tone was just too deep for me. How many times when ringing an Oily MP, did I have to tell them: "Please speak Thai, because I really can't understand English", meaning no English is better than very bad English pronounced strangely. English causes mixups, because Thais get their verb tenses wrong. They say something different to what they wish to mean. So I understand why some guys tried to book using emails. LOL.

That's because most non-native speakers speak at best United Nations' English, a kind of English that is both unidiomatic and phonetically depleted.

If you really want to see someone completely buggerise English. Talk to an American! 555.

Is from oz, no language problem at all. If you really wanted to see someone mash up the English, to talk to a kiwi. Ha ha.

Very unfortunate that doing younger girls for money, is not seen as socially acceptable behaviour for either the guy or the girl. "Do gooder" religious groups may even come hear and try to distrupt the gogo bar trade. Guys in the USA could easily loose their job if exposed, I assume.

Using a girl for sex, pretending "Love" and possibility of future marriage, and all types of clandestine relationships is much more socially acceptable, right?

The fact is Thai girls here need to be able to make some money to support their child and / or parents etc. , and is quite wrong to prevent them from trying to do so, in my view. There is no victim from a private mutually agreeable sex act. Girls are not captives and work voluntarily, not necessarily the case in some places in the past like Nataree. I have a regular who needs the money badly. She has to earn it somehow.

I digressed. For those that don't realise, stay anonymous, because some idiot forum reader could try to expose you to someone. Also being unknown gives you more freedom in what you write. You don't want to show up at an MP and everyone shuns you, because "they know who you are" which could easily happen.

I am ready for a mongering holiday, actually what I mean is a holiday away from mongering to recharge the optimism levels. See if I can last 3 months without a fuck? LOL At least prove I am not an addict anymore.

Hi guys.

I am not that concerned about revealing my origins to girls when I'm talking to them or in post here. I don't have my picture here and my user name is pretty generic. A lot of the girls ask about Kangaroos when you say you are from Oz and I have pics on my phone to show them my "pets".

I can understand the concern of residents because of being outed by the missus or work colleagues but I think for most of us sex tourist there is not much to fear.

So I'm throwing on my thongs, filling up the esky with throw downs and going to dish lickers to get on the punt. LOL.

Something for you non Aussies to translate.

Rob.
