I can't speak for Pattaya much but

Does this shit happen to the rest of you guys "often", using Explorer's words? Mr. E, ET, Goats, HP, LBM, and others who have lived in Thailand for a long time? It can't be only me that this stuff only happens to once every 3+ years.[/QUOTE]In Bangkok, some regular girls as well as P4 P girls do hit me up for money often. But in wildly varying degrees.
Some, almost never. Among P4 P girls who live and work here, it seems the notably better than average lookers who keep their pussy shaved, provide romantic DFK, BBBJ, BBFSCIP and finish a BBBJCIM fully and completely with a proper Swallow are never, I mean never short on cash when rent is due. And don't pretend to be.
By contrast, those who are lazy about some or damn near all of those things are hurting for cash all the time and might bring it up almost weekly. LOL.
No surprise and no joke. I have taken notes on this pattern over the years.
I can be a soft touch for some of the slackers for various reasons. Hard to say why sometimes. But not by much. We're talking less than 500 baht on occasion.
However, generally my internal calculator sends me a notification when the cost to value for me begins to reach an unacceptable level and I cut it off. Bearing in mind I very often start out with a deal that beats the going rate for girls of the level I am attracted to and including a level of service I don't think many are getting even at the going rate.
Overall, I rarely feel I am getting ripped off on the money part, especially factoring in my age, the girls' ages, their level of attractiveness and what they do for me.
With regular Thai girls I date, most often their occasional ask has a different meaning. Not just that they are 1000 baht short on rent, although that is suggested sometimes. Or that their water buffalo needs emergency surgery.
It is often for some ridiculously small amount that I know they either have or will get paid in their regular job soon. And it often comes after I have not seen them for a while.
150 baht. 100 baht. I swear I have been asked if I can help them with 50 baht. Accompanied by "When can we meet?" Sometimes from long term P4P girls I have not seen for a while too.
So in a culture where Love = Money and Money = Love, as it definitely is quite a bit in Thailand, I choose to see those kind of money requests as coded Do You Still Care About Me, Do I Still Have a Connection With You, Do You Still Love Me messages.
Or they could be sending requests for 50 baht to 100 guys in their Line contacts in hopes of winding up with at least 400 - 500 baht income for the week. LOL.
