P.S. I had a great send off at the airport!
[QUOTE=ScreamingBeaver;1805097]That's funny. It seems this so called shitty ass currency you refer to has held up quite nicely compared to the shitty ass currency of Australia, Canada, Russia, etc. I know a few broke ass Aussies walking around here pissing and moaning how their currency is in the crapper. Some of these Aussies have packed it in and move away. The ones that are left are shopping for bargain base beaver on Johnny Street now. Sad to see.[/QUOTE]Sorry. When I said nobody I meant countries and currency traders, not the average tourist or layperson who is in or visits the country. I will personally take all the baht and pisos that I can get my hands on. Reminds me of when my cousin was visiting Pattaya from Malaysia. He asked me where he could exchange his ringgit. I laughed at him and told him probably nowhere and that he should have exchanged it for USD before leaving Malaysia. Then I took him to the place where I exchange my money and the lady laughed him out of the store.

Ikks.[/QUOTE]Ikksman I have to ask why do you post in D.angeles forum? Your posts are so Chinese centric and always try to weave some non existant relation between where you are in China and Angeles. Its mostly a forced and awkward non existant stretch of a connection?
Your last dozen + posts have nothing to do with angeles beyond speculations and non- sequitor humor which has nothing to do with Angeles. Granted all your ISG friends come to your defense and laud your contributions elsewhere and bravo to that.
Your last attempt at on an on topic Angeles post included speculation about D.present effect of virtually non existant Chinese mongers in Angeles.
Thats why many Angeles forum posters are puzzled at your posts.
[QUOTE=MrHawaii;1804555]Or, just save it for your next trip back to Thailand. I have exchanged baht for pesos in Manila, but not Angeles. In my case I had to mentally convert baht to USDollars, then USDollars to pesos. The Manila money changer gave a good rate. I had only a few thousand baht and I knew I was not going to go back to Thailand anytime soon. But if you plan to return and do not need the money now, I would just hang on to it.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the answers, I will try to do as many STs as possibly and save the rest of the money for my next visit. I also found out that the conversion rate baht to dollars isn't so good either.
Well, my Aussie wingman from a few months ago just let me know that would not be able to return to Puss Heaven next month. Apparently, he is quite shaken up by the further fall of the Aussie dollar today and the forecast of more economic downgrades to follow. He said if the Aussie dives to P25, as many financial pundits predict, it would force him to declare an indefinite moratorium on his mongering career in Thailand and the Philippines.
It is just as well he decided to cancel his trip. The last thing I needed was helping identify the splatter on the pavement below if he decided to use the express checkout via the hotel balcony due to more economic bad news from Oz. Besides, it would have been most undignified watching him scare up bargain puss on Johnny Street and the LA Café salvage lot.
Aussie pensioners are feeling like the German 6th Army at Stalingrad when the Red Army launched Operation Uranus squeezing the Germans in a pincer maneuver and cutting them off. Conventional wisdom told Aussie pensioners to keep their nest eggs in AUD instead of pesos. Now a lot of those guys are finding their nest eggs shrunk almost overnight. They want to drink themselves to death but are finding they may not be able to afford it. Their favorite spotlight dancers are now rising ever higher out of reach and they must endure watching the Koreans make it rain pesos from the balconies.
This is a classic example of what can go wrong when retiring to a supposedly cheap mongering paradise without building in a huge buffer for currency shocks, and no exit plan in the event that Puss Heaven becomes unfordable. For the more well-heeled high-rollers, please have a kind heart and give a down and out Aussie monger a jug. Don't be the type who boasts about tipping the girls way over market, but one who steps over a down and out fellow monger sleeping on the pavement with the stray dogs.

Even after the bad conversion rate you can still get ST in AC with the remaining funds. I like AC better for myself.
Just a short post to get the thread back on to mongering despite all the useful forex information.
I just read an article by a journalist who spent time in AC. It is a sensible article and she (the author) was quite even-handed in her reporting.
This paragraph took my eye.
". . . [I] the mamasan did the math for me. By managing around four different boyfriends, her top girls can make up to P80,000 a month - each. It requires skilled juggling and multi-tasking but that is made easier through technology and varying timezones.
We dont even have to have sex (to make money), mamasans star bar girl told me. I just sit with the guy. When he talks to me, I lean in and look into his eyes. I laugh when he says something funny and squeeze his shoulder. Then he slips me some dollars as a tip.[/I].

Of course mamasan and the girls are coached not to discuss sex and nowadays word " Barfine " is taboo as well.
Some guys feeling generous might tip " small amounts " for girls sitting with them it is not universal. Lady drink is the norm. 80,000 pesos per month for sitting with guys and rubbing shoulders is not to be believed.

The writer was a sex therapist who knows exactly what's going on in AC, Burgos Street, Patpong and Pattaya.
The bar girl in the article said she doesn't NEED to provide sex to earn money but it didn't say that she doesn't do it (probably every night I'd imagine).
The 80,000 refers to the cash she gets from her "four boyfriends" who she juggles thanks to technology and time zones, as is referenced in my excerpt. She can play them all at the same time. She also gets tips from her starry-eyed guests, and no doubt also goes out too when she wants which adds up to 80 K.
I actually thought that 80,000 was a bit conservative for a so-called "star".
I know a Fil-Chinese guy in Manila who gives his GF in AC 50,000 per month just so she will be available for him every weekend that he is there. He doesn't care what she does for the rest of the week. I bet she is getting 80,000 too.
[QUOTE=RedKilt;1806095]....thanks to technology and time zones, [/QUOTE]I believe this refers to scores of girls playing gullible men thru skype, wechat, line, viber, kakao, hangout or whatever other social media platform you can think of and getting them to send money in small sums thru western union or other wire transfer platforms. Having 1 jap / korean, 1 aussie, 1 arab & 1 american. You are home with 80 k. No sweat.
They don't have to be stars to juggle multiple suckers. This High Society freelancer is making bank and she has been around for years. A lot of European guys go for that native jungle look and they're willing to pay lots of Euros.

Having 1 jap / korean, 1 aussie, 1 arab & 1 american. You are home with 80 k. No sweat.[/QUOTE]On my last trip to AC, about 2 years ago, I spent 2 nights with a girl (Rachel) I met at the freelance club. We hit it off well and I took her back to the hotel. Great time had by all. The next afternoon after going at it again, she showered and prepared to go home. She never asked for any pesos. So right before she was leaving I gave her 1000 p. As I walked her out to get a trike, I invited her back tonight. She agreed to come back in a few hours. Before we got to a trike I asked her how much to take her to her room. She refused any pesos. I insisted and gave her the going rate for a ride to get home. Later, she came back as planned. We had great sex again, ordered room service, and then ice cream, and we just stayed in the room having fun. The next day I gave her another 1000 p. Everything was great and everyone was happy. We still keep in touch.
Here is the funny part. Last year, she sent me a message and we chatted. Then she tell me about her 'girlfirend' whom I have never met and asks me if I can help her friend out. She actually wanted me to give a cash donation to a girl I don't know. I asked her, why would I give money to a girl I don't know?! She said the girls' boyfriend stopped sending her money and now the girlfriend was asking her for a loan. I told her, tell your girlfriend to make me her friend on facebook or whatsapp and I can meet her on my next visit. Then after we meet, if we get along, I will take her to my hotel for fun and I will help her. .
So yes. Many of the girls have guys sending them money. And they aren't shy about asking other dumb men to send money too.
One more thing, the girl I was seeing for the 2 days also had, and still has, a guy sending her money. I found that out on the 2nd day. That explains why she wasn't concerned about whether or not I gave her any pesos. In fact, last Winter, she even went a long trip to Europe with the guy. She was there for a few months. She posted many pictures of herself from different countries. Good for her. I'm happy that she had the chance to travel and see other countries. As she still messages from time to time, I asked her if she will have sex with me when I come visit. First she says no because she wants to be good to her boyfriend. She offered to go out with me to the club and she will help me friend another girl (as if I need help with that). I told her I can do that by myself the same way I met you. I explained that I would rather have great sex with you for a few days and take you to dinner like last time. I reminded her about the sessions in the hotel. Then she ok 'but' we can't tell anyone because as she doesn't was the guy to know. I say ok, no problem, I like you and we can have our fun in private and it will be our secret. She agreed.

Every woman can / will be an "Oscar-caliber" star at multiple points in her life. We all pay for a woman's affection, whether that affection is sex or a giggle, with money. So many men have a difficult time wrapping their head around the concept. They can see the concept in the academic, but they often don't see that they are being played by the bargirl, the occasional puta, his girlfriend, or his wife. That guy also rarely sees it when another man's woman is playing the other man for something (ie, money, or stuff she wants) right in front of that guy. I'm amazed by it. Men often have strange ideas in their minds (ie, categories) for women as far as 'good girl' vs 'bad girl' (or GF / wife vs puta), and in reality there is no such distinction.
For instance, a guy in AC being affectioned by a bargirl (as referenced by the article above) might not realize he's being played. He might indeed actually believe the girl is his new best-friend, and that she's actually laughing at his humor (maybe she is, maybe not, that part is irrelevant). You can see it just by watching them (people-watching is one of my fav things), and gents even write about it here. On the opposite end of the spectrum are (some) gents who are married, who keep their wives in the best house / clothing / car, and complain of rarely getting laid -- his woman can cajole him thru just about anything. Both of these men have somehow deluded themselves (as many of us, myself included, have at times).
