Amazon opens plant in rural New York. Avg wage $100 000. I can see girls not turning to Prostitution to make ends meet.

Hitachi open plant in Issarn. Avg wage $18 all day. Issarn girl lacks education.

I don't see Factory work all that appealing for the Smoking Hot Ones.

Once Weed became a legal commodity its Value goes down. No one makes money except the Privileged Elite.

It's the new RICE.

All previous efforts over the past several years to move factories and manufacturing from other countries to Isaan provinces have already kept many hot young girls in their home provinces to work in those factories, benefit from other family members who work in them and / or marry Thais who work in those industries. At the very least, it reduced the number of girls leaving to a trickle of its former pace.

Recently I've been reading reports in the financial press about Japanese industrialists who are nervous about how much Japanese companies rely on Chinese factories. Those concerns have increased after President Xi's policy decisions and recent power grab, which are perceived as hostile toward foreign direct investment and international trade. The reports usually predict that multinational companies will increase investment in Vietnam and Thailand. As Mr. Tooms perceptively notes, women coming of age in northeastern Thailand prefer their native region and want to spend their adult years there. But if they can't make a living, they'll vote with their feet. Recently, as he explains, they don't have to leave. It doesn't matter whether it's a Hitachi factory or a cannabis farm. Any business that supports the Isaan economy will tend to reduce the number of girls getting on the bus to Bangkok or Pattaya.

Someone hacked this guy's account?

This is not a measured response.

Hot Girl marry isarn farmer who makes $200 at month. ?

Hot Girl in Bangkok or wherever make $200 in one night.

I don't think you watched the video or are very familiar with the Thai female mindset, especially young ones of prime child-bearing age.

Weed is becoming a hugely successful industry in those outer provinces. All previous efforts over the past several years to move factories and manufacturing from other countries to Isaan provinces have already kept many hot young girls in their home provinces to work in those factories, benefit from other family members who work in them and / or marry Thais who work in those industries. At the very least reduced it to a trickle of its former pace. That fact has certainly not gone unnoticed by expats and punters who have been coming here long enough to observe and experience the before and after.

Weed might be the fastest growing and relatively cheapest of all the recent jobs-related reasons Thai girls don't need to leave their friends, family, kid, Thai boyfriends and, believe it or not, lifestyle and environment they much prefer over Bangkok and Pattaya.

30-40 year old ladies who are no longer of interest to the Thai men that Thai girls much prefer, sure, why not. Hot 19 year olds? Not so much.

Your image of hot young Thai girls from the provinces appears to be of shrewdly calculating Capitalist entrepreneurs banking mega profits into their IRA accounts nightly for years so they and their family can eventually move into a Thonglo highrise penthouse condo instead of being happy to walk away from that or not even show up for it on day one in favor of sitting in a circle on the ground eating sumtam and grilled pork with their long time Thai friends. As long as they or 1-2 others in the circle have enough money to pay for it, that is.

And guess what. $200 USD per month would more than cover it.

It's easier to win the financial lottery in her province now.

Weed is being sold in shops, carts, tables and trucks everywhere in Thailand. And not just in the red light districts. It is not legal to smoke it in public but, no matter, you can smell it all along many sois in Bangkok and Pattaya.

Hot young girls can stay in Isaan, date or marry a marijuana farmer and they will have struck GOLD without ever leaving their province to come to Bangkok or Pattaya. Not to mention working in the skyrocketing weed industry itself right there in their home province.

No idea where to have it done commercially. I have a lady friend come over and do it for me.

Yeah that was what I used to do as well. Unfortunately the lady in question has a husband now and she is no longer available.

Anyone ever sell American or Canadian gold to a gold shop in Thailand? If I was to bring some US or Canadian gold coins into Thailand with me, would I be able to sell them to a gold store if I chose to someday, or would they refuse to deal in them? My plan is to retire in Thailand soon. I like Thailand because it seems you can keep your assets in gold instead of fiat currency, and be able to easily convert some if you ever need to.

Gentlemen, can anyone direct me to a place in Bangkok where I can go get my crotch shaved? No waxing please. I did see an earlier report that mentioned an unnamed place on soi 11 but I have no idea where on soi 11 and my mobility is somewhat limited these days with broken foot so not too easy looking for it. Not a fan of waxing and that's what seems to be in vogue these days. Thanks!

Does anyone have any tips on finding freelancers? I've tried Thai Friendly, but most there just seem to want serious relationships

Either walk outside or get online. I know there are plenty of women on TF that are looking for something serious, but if you can not spot the hookers for the normal chicks on there then you have a problem. I will go on a limb and say there are way more hookers than normal chicks on TF.

[OlderNotWiser]

Hi. Does anyone have any tips on finding freelancers? I kind of like the idea of finding a woman who isn't a full time bar girl, but willing to spend some time with a guy for some money and generally hang out a bit etc and maybe travel around a bit.

I'm not the youngest guy, and so quite happy with someone a bit older too. I know there are lots of divorced / seperated women around. I've tried Thai Friendly, but most there just seem to want serious relationships and I'm not interested in wasting my and their time.

Anyway, any thoughts and ideas welcome.

Gentlemen,

I am heading to Thailand for the 1st time ever.

While I do have to stay in Bangkok for much of the time, I do have a few free days.

Is it worth the added expense / time to go to Pattaya, or is it not worth the bother?

Also, it seems like I should budget about $100 a day for women. Is that accurate?

Thanks in advance.

On my last two trips I split it up spending a week in Bangkok and then a week in Pattaya. It felt as if I did not have time in either to do everything that I wanted. My next trip will be Pattaya only and I'll skip Bangkok as I'd rather go there. If I only had a few days to go elsewhere then I would stay in Bangkok but you might feel differently.

I'd say no on Pattaya and instead fly to Chiang Mai or to a beach and forget the girls for a few days and have fun as a tourist. If you really really just want to do gogos, Freelancers, or bar girls you can do Pattaya, but you can do all the same in BKK. Pattaya is a bit cheaper for girls than Bangkok, but after the expense of travel and time and issues, its not a big deal.

MPs in Bangkok are 2000-3000 baht for a 1. 5 - 2 hour session. Picking up a gogo girl for ST is roughly the same + a 700-1000 bar fine. Long time will be more. Freelancers are less. Plus drinking starts to add up no matter where you are.

All depends on how long your stay is and what exactly you want. I am going to be in BKK soon for 2 weeks and have no intention to go to Pattaya as I am sure I will be kept busy for the whole 14 days.

As for $100 per day, that's good for 1 lady for LT or 2 for ST. You need to budget bar fines and drinks too. PM if you need more advice.
