I did a one nighter in Ban Chang last night. Pretty dead. I was the only customer at the bar I attended.
The ladies swarmed me when I sat down, kind of annoying. It took thrm 5 minutes to take the hint, and leave me alone with the lady I bought a drink for.
But, I ended up taking 2 ladies to the back room to get to know them better, and took one to the hotel for a 1000 baht ST.
[QUOTE=ExpatAmerican;2817198]So you think that the worlds biggest economy and global reserve currency will collapse and you will be safe with your money in THB? If the US dollar actually collapses there will be no safe haven asset. No currency, no precious metal, no crypto will save you then.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2817161]That will not be a problem. Just go to one of the many discos and find a chick that you like. If she does not have a steady job then she will surely take you up on that offer.[/QUOTE]You can bar fine a girl for a couple days in advance so you can have her for a couple days. That doesn't mean that you'll have unlimited sex, you still have to pay her a reasonable fee above the bar fine. That said, if it is a girl you just met, you never really know what you're going to get.

[QUOTE=XXL;2817143]So you are here for 9 days and still want to include touristy stuff with a local girl? I'm here 7 months a year and I've given up planning touristy tuff with girls. Working girls in TH want short time with as many customers as they can fit into a single day. They are not interested in getting to know their own country unless you pay them 5 to 10 thousand Baht a day to do so. And even then expect them to be on their smartphone all day and show no interest in any activity whatsoever.[/QUOTE]Well that's my hope at least, happy to pay although 10 k seems a bit excessive but good to know there are options at least.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2817211]I often travel around Thailand with Pattaya bargirls, paying 1000 to 2000 baht a day.
Of course, I am not talking about Walking Street or Soi 6 ladies.[/QUOTE]Thank you both for your advice it seems getting an account at thaifriendly and just asking girls I hit it off with / like at bars is a reasonable starting point looking at a couple of more pages on this thread, any recommendations of what to do with my date during daytime?
Crapola.
I had a lady in my condo last night for some drinks, and my phone rang. It was her Thai boyfriend.
How he got my Facebook Messenger and how he knew she was with me is a mystery.
He was not happy she was in my condo, and she left soon after. Fortunately, she left her sister behind.
[QUOTE=TooDirty;2817001]The videos on youtube lately are looking like bars are packed with girls, but not many customers at all. Wonder how many have turned to Colombia? Videos from Philippines look pretty dismal in girls and tourists. I hope I can sell my US property before they really tank the dollar, and then get over to Thailand and convert almost everything to baht gold.[/QUOTE]Very Observational.
Last night I looked into Frog Bar. While it looked Slow upon closer investigation it probably was even slower. A lot of the people were Working Thais. Bargirls, etc.
Prime Time. 9 pm-11 pm.
[QUOTE=TooDirty;2817001]The videos on youtube lately are looking like bars are packed with girls, but not many customers at all.[/QUOTE]Some bars are full of girls but it's most of the time a Nightwish Group bar so you don't know what to expect with these girls.
Other bars have very few girls and most of the times older and unattractive.
Plus they are not good at attracting customers inside, they give a fake smile along a fake "hallooo welcomme" but if you don't give them your attention immediately their smile disappears instantly.

Or hacked her phone with software that gives him access to GPS location and might even be able to turn her phone into a broadcasting device.

But in my personal opinion not anytime soon. You will see the dollar eat other currencies around the world and when we are down to 3 or four different world currencies then the collapse will come. Right now the dollar is king. Everyone wants the dollar and it is currently the dog with the best fleas in the world.
In the case of total social collapse you are going to want to have prepared by being self sufficient (in as many areas as you can be) until the storm passes. Just think about what you can provide for yourself and work to do that as much as possible. That is if you actually think that is an important action to take. I don't know what is going to happen one way or the other or when it is going to happen.

In the event of social collapse a can of tuna is going be worth more than a gold coin. If you have a gold coin and think you are going to trade for resources you better have a gun and back up otherwise the other party will put a bullet in your head and just take your gold. That is the history of gold. It invites violence on the holder.
Many do not like to say this out loud, but there is a very good reason why the United States of America has stronger military than the next 10 countries combined. Think they are just going to sit around and let their status in the world declined without a fight?

There will be banks that will be allowed to fail. Others are two big to be allowed to fail. The US Government has a printing machine. And they have no problem making it go burrrrrr. And as long as there is a world wide demand for dollars the economic system will continue to function as it is. But don't expect to be able to preserve your buying power by holding dollars.

I seriously doubt some guy that probably does not even have a 3rd grade education knows anything about a keystroke logger. These are simple, unsophisticated, farmer folks.

But I would take a little time and vet them to make sure I wanted to spend that much time with them. I have to have insane chemistry with a girl before I spend anytime with them other than "naked time".
