I downloaded the app and it was pricy $25.00 but after a few hours of learning the app I was very happy. Highly recommended and a must have for anyone wanting to speak Thai.

Yes I think this (Paiboon Talking Dic) is the best because it also has sound for all words. It is well worth the money for anyone serious about learning and willing to go through the years of study to get to my good conversational standard. I started Thai in 1990. The resources available were all books at the time, and not many ideal for Farangs.

Don't believe web sites that tell you can be fluent in a few weeks. It is bullshit. No one will have even pronunciation going that perfectly in just a few weeks.

Thai-Language.com has limited sound files. They do play for me after a considerable delay. I also use Thai-Lang on an iphone (without sound). I am advanced enough not to need the sound a pronunciation of Thai words is largely systematic and lacking exceptions to the rules. Not like English where spelling does not imply pronunciation for 50% of words. Thai-lang word base maybe a bit larger than Paiboon talking Dic however the later is best for beginners to intermediate level. Its weakness might be that it tends to have single Thai words moreso than phrases, but a lot of phrases recently added. Some colloquial things missing, especially new teenage slang.

You can plug Thai script into Google Translate to get sound either fast or slow speed. That could be very handy.

I also use Thai Best Dictionary App and Longdo.com but these are intended for Thais not for Farangs, so don't recommend.

I also use Flashcards deluxe App to feed in my excel spreadsheet vocab lists, and Anki for advanced study of vocab from Thai news articles.

I can recommend the Talking Thai-English Dictionary app. It is fairly comprehensive and I use it almost daily to expand my vocabulary when communicating with my wife. It is available for both iOS and Android. The same publisher has an iPhone only phrase book app that I haven't tried.

Even on occasional visitor can benefit from some tuition: my employer paid for 20 private lessons at AAA Thai Language School. You can join a group, too, which is cheaper. Those 20 lessons got me going, I took them during two trips, about 4 or 6 six lessons a week and that was doable between work meetings and nights of mongering. I'm by no means fluent in Thai but even a little bit of effort can help with breaking the ice in some situations, be it in a parlor or with a FL.

I use "Thai-language.com", it is a good learning site with the exception that I can't get the speaker to respond. You click on the speaker and it should give you the correct pronunciation of the word or phrase, but it does not work for me. This is a donation site so if you are satisfied you can donate thru PayPal.

It even gives the history of the phrase, ie: sawasdee ka in 1935 became the official greeting etc.

There is a thread called "Tips for Learning the Thai Language". It has only 1 post to date.

In the future, I may include a list things one might want to say to a Thai girl before and during a sexual encounter. Unfortunately it takes time to do it well. Secondly it is very hard to do much good for most readers who don't know how to pronounce Thai. That really requires a teacher. If guys teach themselves, they cannot even hear their own pronunciation differences from a native Thai speaker or from correct sound of vowels and tones. Their ears are simply not tuned to it. It is easier to assist guys already past Thai 101.

Syzy, just a suggestion but some may appreciate if you start a Learning Thai thread in the User Blog forum.

I was learning new Thai words. Strangely I did not know how to say "unhook". So got the new Thai word "Bplot khor"
ปลดขอ

Put "unhook" into Google Translate. That was fine.
Changed it to read "I unhooked her bra".
The Thai came out meaning "I unhooked from the underclothes". Giving the impression that I had been hooked on. LOL
Changed it to read "I unhooked her brassiere".
It now read in Thai what, translated back to English is "I turned on her headphones" WTF?
Reverse translate shows "I turned on her headphones"
I can't imagine that is a euphemism for unhooking a bra.
I think Google Translate has serious bugs.
It understands Brassiere giving correct translate "yok song" if typed in alone.
But why does it change Thai to "huu fang" ("headphones") in a sentence? Very puzzling.

Maybe that is Google Translate's snarky way of suggesting Thai girls' boobs are usually kind of small. You know, pretty much outright saying a pair of headphones is probably all she needs. LOL.

Its easy to solve in P4P. They say they are 25 when they are actually 35.

However sure the 50 YO girl struggles to get a job in the Hotel or supermarket or whatever. Its a very discriminatory society.

In P4P a 35 year old tells you she is 25? No doubt that happens. However, I think that's all women in every country whether it's P4P or not. I know when I meet girls on Tinder in the USA, most times they are older than they said they were.

Then again, if a girl in Thailand tells you she's 18, she's most likely not 18 yet. So sometimes they do tell you they are older than they are. Check those ID's!

[Syzygies]

Horatio, a (legit) massage girl in Pattaya once told me that once a girl in Thailand turns 30 yrs old their job prospects diminish considerably. So, they may like you, but the economic reality of their situation is probably a factor at play here too.

Only if you are married to her, otherwise there is no logic to it. Plenty of younger pussies in the US for hire, and they tend to be the best.

It is not really about age at all, it is about skills and passion, and level of deterioration in the face and body. Some girls are already badly deteriorated at age 20. My GF is still having a great body and pussy at 39. She started out a bit too skinny so body is virtually perfect weight now. Her face had to go downhill a little, but she started out excessively pretty, so now is still way better than average. Only a low percentage of 20 YOs am I going to rate as prettier and with hotter body.

So I am in complete disagreement. I like experienced pussy, not fresh young hopeless girls who don't know how to do anything. Still want a good body and pretty face though. Ok You mentioned the US. Not sure why. Perhaps the rate of girl deterioration is much higher there. Plenty of fatties.

I have 2 regular bargirls both aged 20 but both with years of experience, one skinny white skin, the other tan more voluptuous with big tits (so variety), both tallish. They both clearly first started in P4P when below the required age. They have the stamina to go well beyond how long my GF lasts. They both would not be suitable as a GF, very clearly. These two girl were not selected because they were 20. Just was coincidence. I have other regulars over 30.

Thailand where girls do not age particularly well.

Maybe the bar girls don't but the first Thai girl I met in Vegas was 55 years old weighted 110 and was 5'3" ate 2 salads a day and maybe a $10 meal out if she could get me too take her which was easy LOL. She didn't drink party do drugs sex (bummer) but she could clean and cook. Oh and gambled like crazy when should get the money 3 days straight at times. She'd stay with you if she liked you and you'd take care of her, don't think it'd be cheap though.

[Zman429]

I am curious what others will say to this as I don't quite know what to think and imagine I am misunderstanding some things.

I'm from Vegas if you put a Thai Girl vs a Vegas stripper in professing love it'd be a great fight but in the end it's going to be like the MayWeather vs Mcgregor fight. The Thai girl will win hands down. They have a way of being sweet and charming that we don't understand or it takes awhile to pick up on. That said I've seen girls in there 30's and 40's who probably are ready and willing to settle down with someone who can take care of them. Plus they don't need much usually. As they say follow the money, including buying houses etc. And to them even eating out and shelter helps a lot. So be careful to vet them well and find a friend who can do a reality check for you.

You are lucky to find such girls.

I believe we need more explanation for this type of scenario from other senior members.

XXL has written what he feels.

But we need more discussion on this topic from seniors.

This is my experience and others will certainly differ, so take it for whatever it's worth. I have been here in thailand for 3 months. Twice I have had women I met in bars seem to fall in love with me. I know it sounds silly or fake, but they will want to come over on their day off free. They will stay overnight and up til work time the next day. I say I am watching my budget and they have said I can just pay barfine and they come for free. That all might sound nice, but I am a nice guy and don't want to take advantage of anyone or hurt someone's feelings. I am honest for the most part, I tell them I am leaving in a month for somewhere else or whatever the case may be. I have told one I loved her after she told me she loved me.

Some of the problems from this situation is that it is hard to see others if you are worried about one. And it is hard not to worry about the one if you think she truly has feelings and emotions involved. The girl friend experience is great. I am an old guy and these women are mid 30's. I think kind of new to the bar scene. They say they are. I could be being scammed, but I don't know how, because it is them giving their time not me giving extra money.

I think new comers to here should be aware that the women here can be very loving and girl friendly and if you don't want to hurt them you might have a problem if you let things proceed unknowingly.
