There seems to be some confusion among some board members on the exchange rates. The following applies to the US dollar and US banks.

If you subtract the Foreign ATM transaction fees of 200 Baht and do not have any other fees from your bank, you will not beat the exchange rate you get from your ATM debit card. Same thing applies to Visa and Mastercard.

At the currency exchange shops, there is a buy and sell rate. Better shops will have smaller spreads. The ATM debit card will give you the best possible buy rate. Last week, this exchange rate was the same as the TT currency exchange shop rate in Pattaya. The exchange shops need to make money; there should not be a place with a better rate.

When you arrive at BKK airport, there is collusion with all the currency exchange shops. They all have the same bad rates. For example, last week, the buy/sell cash rates at the airport were 32.XX/35.XX when it was 34.XX/35.XX outside the airport. But the exchange rate you get with the ATM at the airport will be the best possible rate you can get. The currency exchange shops cannot affect the exchange rates on the ATM which is on that international banking system. The ATM exchange rate at the airport was the same as the TT currency exchange shop in Pattaya. That chain seems to have the best rates in Pattaya.

Some people reported bad rates using the ATM. Those people probably are accounting for the foreign ATM transaction fee of 200 Baht, possible foreign transaction fees, and possible junk fees from their own banks. As reported many times, if you get the best ATM cards, these fees are avoided.

Here is the equation you need to use to get the exchange rate (assuming you are refunded the 200 baht fee and assuming you have no other fees from your bank):

(Baht amount you take out + 200 baht fee) divided by (amount you are charged from your bank).

The above also applies to the Angeles ATMs.

"Thailand is closed to sex trade', says country's first female tourism minister".

"Thailand has promised to eradicate its notorious sex tourism industry as it attempts to reinvent itself as a female-friendly travel destination.

Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, the country's first female tourism minister, made the pledge following a series of police raids on Thai brothels last month, amid concerns over human* trafficking and [CodeWord902] sex workers.

"We want Thailand to be about quality tourism. We want the sex industry gone," Ms Kobkarn told Reuters.

"Tourists don't come to Thailand for such a thing. They come here for our beautiful culture."

Ms Kobkarn began her drive to clean up Thai tourism's image soon after arriving in office in 2014, singling out the seedy resort city of Pattaya as a pilot project for the country at large.

Pattaya has more than 1,000 bars and massage parlors, many of which are fronts for illegal brothels.

But last month's police raids, in which police closed down a high-profile Bangkok massage parlor and arrested more than 100 sex workers employed there 15 of whom were [CodeWord902] could mark a turning point for the industry."

I do have the Tender app and I guess I will try that when I get out there ... Searching for girls on Soi 6 or in the bars is fun, but sometimes too much work!

So I am missing something on how to find girls for fun on Thai Cupid for the Pattaya area?

Try Badoo. But note, most venues require some form of "work" (effort) on your part to find the right girl and bring her up to your level of satisfaction. I call it the hunt and I enjoy that part of the game. Social media sites require a good deal of investigatory & preparation "work" and result in a fair number of letdowns for every gem you find. If Soi 6 is to much "work" for you, try the BJ bars. No effort is required there. Just walk in and smile. You don't have to lift a finger.

I had some luck on OK Cupid finding nice, legit Thai women, of the marrying kind I mean. Two have become very close and one I have visited several times now and we have become quite fond of each other, though I continue to play. Never found a freelancer on OKC howerver.

Likewise, I have not cracked the code on Thai Cupid. I am older but figured that the freelancers would make themselves known by how they dress for their pictures and that they are young yet searching for men up to 75! I have only identified a couple who meet this profile, and my messages to them have been ignored. About all I get are messages and interests from ladies over 40 who want love and that, duh, is not what I am looking for in a girl from near Pattaya. I am not going to monger in Bangkok so I have not looked there

I will be in Pattaya next week for about 2 weeks and was trying to set up some meetings, but I have nothing!

14 July 2015.

"Bangkok – Customs department Director General Somchai Sajjapong has reported that Thai and foreign tourists are now allowed to bring in with them personal belongings worth 20,000 baht into Thailand with no import tax from earlier fixed at 10,000 baht."

"The increase in the value of personal belongings brought in by both Thais and foreigners into the country with import tax exemption is now in force."

How can those numbers be so small? Many people's laptop alone cost more than 10 or 20 K baht.

I expect every day 1000's of visitors to LOS are failing to declare when they should be.

BTW I always walk the "nothing to declare" path & in all my visits to LOS have only been called to have my belongings checked once. Paid no fine.

I have 3 girls on Line that show an obvious significant other and I'm certain my compilation of Line/Facebook ID's is much fewer than yourself. A bar girl with a Tomboy, a gogo girl and a Soi 6 girl with a boyfriend.

Keep in mind that these girls can go to elaborate lengths providing you with a fake Facebook, Line, etc. account.

edit - I went back to check the Line and Facebook accounts for the 3 girls. Only one showed a partner on Line. The other 2 had no photos of partners on their Line ID's but pics all over on their Facebook accounts.

I have 9 current Thai fuck buddy type girls on my LINE, Is that a lot? Perhaps not. One or two maybe struck off soon. One got a boob job and haven't seen the result yet. Only 3 or 4 are really important girls.

Yes that is more like what I expect.

Some girls don't try to hide boyfriends and seem as honest as a hooker can be, while others are very vague about their personal life, and the third set are the clear bullshit artists.

One of my girls at CH, I don't trust at all, as I know very well she spins stories at times. Yet other girls seem very straight forward and reliable.

When a girl tells you how her boyfriend wants her to meet his mother, and she is just about ready to dump him, I do squirm a bit, and think: "Too much information". A bit like when my boss would tell me who is going to get fired very soon, well before that person knows anything.

She did not tell me of course, how many other backup boyfriend contenders there were.

While girls hate men that are liars almost universally, I don't hate girls that tell a little bit of bullshit, provided they don't overdo it. There is nothing more boring than weird girls who are constantly bullshitting like more than 50% of the time. I prefer not to ask probing questions that might be fed bullshit. I just don't need to know much other than when is the girl reliably available.

Just thought this was a bit unusual since most of the girls do not have obvious boyfriend pics on their Line posting information or wallpaper.

When I first returned to Billboard, to see the modern setup with big change, I studied the girls on stage for a while, and finally Tukata appealed. Pretty girl nice body but small tits. Smiled shyly but sweetly.

After two or three drinks, the chemistry was going really great. She became very lovey dovey indeed as though she had known me a long time. On the bed she became very passionate, and never been able to find fault with her since, always eager. She is now working Jail Birdz. She has probably dropped down the list to be my 5th preference girl out of about 12 on repeat list despite how sweet she is. Girls can collect guys in a very similar way I guess, and put them in a priority sequence, likewise.

I have had her line Contact for a while. She posts on there pictures of herself clearly with her long haired pretty Thai Boy (or is it a Tom. Can't be 100% sure from pics). These pics look really lovey dovey as well. Doesn't even try to hide her Thai boy pics from the customers. Probably likes men and sex a lot and makes sense to work as a hooker for this reason. I think often stays with her mum and sister on Bangkok outskirts. Can't tell if her Thai boy is like a pimp or like a regular BF, of course, perhaps the later is possible.

Just thought this was a bit unusual since most of the girls do not have obvious boyfriend pics on their Line posting information or wallpaper.

Of my 12 girls listed for repeat only 3 are from MPs currently, and the rest are freelancers or bar girls. It looks like I like to have some time to build chemistry with girls (but not too long) rather than get straight into fucking, even though with most girls I have little desire to date them properly, with one or two exceptions where I would have plenty of time for them even while not fucking. Unknown freelancers are proving a bit difficult for me, due to the general cut to the chase approach, and little opportunity to build chemistry, so lower chance of GFE.

I was not referring to a Nympho maniac.

She says she wants a good dicking and she wants some money too. She knows she is my favorite and I was a bit hooked on her, so she definitely is in control.

The girl likes to have her freedom to do whatever she wants, fuck whoever she wants, etc. She wants a good service of course. She also wants to check that men still find her incredibly hot and that she has power over us.

Looks like the stars are aligned. Have a great time as she will most likely keep coming back to tap the well. ;-D

[Syzygies]

FWIW, it is a business for the girls, if not all girls. I actually allow them to take calls (or video) from their BFs while travelling or while I am recharging, so long as they can hide my existence. They need to make a living. There are some interesting conversations.

I don't believe I was ever able to keep up with the really horny ones as you can have it on tap with them 24/7. Being older and wiser, I know a dildo ain't going to do it so I think / suspect others will be filling those desires. I have been told stories, in the third person, of some of the numerous encounters one can have in one day.

I was not referring to a Nympho maniac. She is supported but may have used money in a way the BF does not know about (family). So needs some more. Also if the girl's BF is away and she generally likes a good dicking, she can start missing her old favorite customer (s).

She used to have multiple boyfriends but picked one out to settle down with, the rich one I guess. However being monogamous does not come easily for sexy hot girls used to having multiple boyfriends. So she has been short of money and sex. She is very honest to me about it. We never told each other any bull shit. She says she wants a good dicking and she wants some money too. She knows she is my favorite and I was a bit hooked on her, so she definitely is in control. At first I thought we would meet up for no sex. However she made it clear she wanted the sex too. I don't know if her man is in Thailand currently or not. I guess I will soon know if she wants STs or LTs.

I don't think she will be taking a video call if she is in my Hotel. We cannot meet at her apartment nor mine so I will have to stay at a Hotel. I don't think their are many girls that need numerous encounters per day. Maybe multiple cums will suffice. After all she was trying to be monogamous for a while, as far as I know (but don't ask). She will tell me whatever she wants to tell me. I don't like to be too nosey. In the past she did take a call from a BF when she was in my Hotel, but that was just audio. She then told me the BF wanted to introduce her to his parents, but she was just about ready to move on from him. She said was difficult as the BF did not know she was doing some hooking work. Bills had to get paid. So yeh, you really do hear from hookers, the problems they might have with boyfriends. They like having someone they can open up too who won't get jealous no matter how much he (I) liked her. However we only hear what she wants us to hear. She never said how many boyfriends she had concurrently before her retirement.

The girl likes to have her freedom to do whatever she wants, fuck whoever she wants, etc. She wants a good service of course. She also wants to check that men still find her incredibly hot and that she has power over us.

Many times I have been right next to the girl in her hooker shoes and work outfit as she is telling the guy how she has been spend time with family, temple, LOL. 10 minutes later she is working.

My best girl of all time, was retired from hooking and have not seen her for well over 12 months, as she "settled down".

Stayed in friendly occasional contact by LINE. What happens? Eventually she finds she is short of money, restless and horny. Once a horny girl, always a horny girl. LOL She could not be faithful to one man forever. One of the few girls into guys that take too long to cum. LOL Now its clear she will want to meet up again. She is not that young, but stylish, fun, and never boring. Can be a pornstar too. Can easily make me forget other girls.

Congratulations. I think.

I think of having a life long affair with the girl. She is actually 4 or 5 years younger than my GF, better on the bed, and far more sexually provocative. By the time she is too old to be doable I will be really ancient. I am sure she will have other guys too. She needs her freedom.

Was funny that the girl initially tried to faithful to her partner for a period. It could not last forever. She is just too horny I think.

The really good thing is that it should not be necessary to tell each other lies. She knows I have a GF but don't get enough sex. I know she has a BF supporting her.

I was really hooked on this girl. However perhaps an ongoing affair is better than having her as my GF. Cost of maintaining her lifestyle would have been too high anyway. I don't need her to myself (and attempting that would be stupid). Better to have a very nice share on an ongoing basis.

My only regret is that I did not meet her a few years earlier. How many years will it take to get bored with her? Hopefully never. There was a previous girl I did get bored with after 15 years, but she was not as good.

I have about 4 or 5 favorite bargirls that can be backups and a couple of MP girls.

Never burn your bridges to the top girls. That is my advice. I never burn my bridges unless girls are Psycho and really need to be avoided. Imagine if you can maintain all of your top girls forever. I don't get bored with girls so easily unless they really deteriorate in some way.

I can't wait. Sorry my field reports might drop off badly for a while. Maybe won't be needing bar visits to find hot girls nor MPs.

Congratulations. I think.

These girls do not retire and most of what they they us is lies when they say they stopped working or are being a good girl. Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. You stayed in touch just through line. I have seen guys that actually think these girls are their girlfriends and talk through Skype at computer places. Many times I have been right next to the girl in her hooker shoes and work outfit as she is telling the guy how she has been spend time with family, temple, LOL. 10 minutes later she is working. Thailand is money first!
