If you're wondering about all the traveling, there is a new tax regulation requiring long term residents to pay Thai income tax. If only stay in Thailand for 179 days, no tax.
Also, if I travel with a Thai lady, its 1000 baht a day, if I stay in my Pattaya condo, I often have 2 ladies, which is 4000 baht a day.

I'm affected though. I'm planning to stay under 180 days.
Thailand loss. I'm equal to 69 Indians and 777 mymannerians in terms of Spend.
Oh well. LOL. Hahaha.
[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2887112]So, in your mind, it seems that ST Soi 6 prices should be 1000 Baht plus the room and the girls are trying to move that to 1500 plus the room. I would say that you are sadly mistaken. Further, lets just say that you are correct and in your mind, ST on soi 6 should be 1000 Baht plus the room and the girls are now asking 2000 Baht plus the room. If that makes you want to take a break from Pattaya, you better just stop coming all together, as prices won't go down. Maybe Pattaya is just too expensive for you. It's funny about how some of us think inflation is non existent for sellers and only exists for the buyers. lol. So again, just don't come. You better not stretch your budget or you will be living in a fan room for 2500 Bhat per month the same as me.[/QUOTE]Your deductive reasoning skills are flawed. I never said I was a cheap Charlie. If I was under financial duress I doubt I would have visited Pattaya 13 x. I even visited during high season on purpose. The reality is I'm a young retiree who can live in Patty full time if I wanted to. I am not a backpacker and I stay at US branded hotels in Pattaya. There are more important things in life than hardened hookers. I'm saying the quality on Soi 6 doesn't warrant a price hike. Soi 6 is marginally better than the beach. Just because I prefer hotties and don't want to spoil the market doesn't mean I can't afford International travel. I've matured. I even stated that I would pay 1500 baht if that became the uniform price. I guess if you went in a restaurant and the menu said 1 k for the plate and you saw others paying 1 k you still would pay 1500 because the waiter said so.

I wouldn't be surprised if ET paid $15 to Flex and then self ban himself for 6 months. Hahaha.

What's in the cards is that Farang customers will desert Soi 6, which will then be empty during periods when there are no Korean holidays. The number of Koreans who will go to Soi 6 during off-peak periods won't be enough to maintain the status quo, and so the hordes of Thai women will disappear.
Same as Angeles City.
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2887403]I am scheduled to spend a month in the Maldives with a Thai lady later this year. Apart from the cost, what's the downside?[/QUOTE]The downside would be the Maldives is boring as fuck, especially being that drinking is your thing.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2887756]The downside would be the Maldives is boring as fuck, especially being that drinking is your thing.[/QUOTE]No problem. The plan is to go beach in the day, drink in the condo at night.
A Thai lady will happily play telephone all day.
It is not easy to select a lady for a one month holiday overseas. Some can't handle being with a customer for more than a few days (see the 3 day rule).
I once took a lady to Russia for 2 weeks. She spent her down time talking to her main squeeze at the time, got depressed from missing him, and after a week, didn't leave the hotel for 2 days, staying in bed most of the time. She snapped out of it and carried on for the final week. Went back to Pattaya and discovered he was married.
Since then, no problem traveling with her. The current Thai boyfriend takes care of the kids when she is gone.

So the back forth is just humorous. On the Single Man Forum site, the lone moderator apparently made a big oopsie and forgot to hide the accounts of members that followed his Facebook. Dumbass apparently linked them to his site and then took days to remember his mistake. Now there are guys passing FB profiles around via Telegram to out members that have agendas against one another. That's what happens when a site is not moderated correctly and you have constant fighting and bickering going on. The bans of whos on there often make no sense. It's like chaos with that site. ISG is more tone down with snide comments rather than some of the stuff you hear over there.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2887918]Where do you plan to get the alcohol from?[/QUOTE]Oops.
Maldives is almost alcohol free.
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2885769]So I am in Rio with a Thai lady. She has come here before, but things are different. She is having drama with her new Thai boyfriend, as his wife is making things difficult for him and her.
So, she spends her days talking with him on the phone and sleeping. Not a lot of fun.
If she continues in this state of depression, I will send her home.[/QUOTE]The Thai is still having boyfriend drama, but is okay when she's off the phone with him.

I sure hope there is alcohol for sale in Kazakhstan.
