Axel Heyst discusses personal finances!
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;3015133]SP 5-star hotel prices are in the stratosphere. I don't know anyone who pays the rack rate. But room rates fluctuate, almost weekly, and sometimes the chains offer weekend discounts or 3-to-5-night discount bookings that are much more reasonable. The main way I get around these huge rack rates is by using hotel points and annual voucher nights that I accumulate over time from various hotel chain credit cards like the Chase Marriott & Chase Hyatt. Having membership standing with these hotels can get you room upgrades at no additional cost when available. For example. On my last April visit the Intercontinental upgraded my reservation from their king bedroom to their largest 1 br suite facing the front of the hotel. I paid in points and vouchers for my 5-night stay. It was grand! And on the same trip, the Hyatt, while undergoing extensive lobby renovations, upgraded my queen bedroom reso to their 1 br suite facing the river. Again, I paid in points and vouchers for my 5-night stay. The Hyatt is my favorite hotel in SP despite the fact that the surrounding neighborhood is completely uninteresting and a touch out of the way.
That said, I like the Marriot Exec hotel. It ain't 5 star, but it is comfortable, it is girl friendly, and the location is GREAT. Unfortunately, Marriot does not accept hotel points for this property. It is cash only at all of their exec apartment hotels worldwide. I have stayed at 2 different Marriott Exec Apart Hotels in BKK and liked them both.[/QUOTE]So you wrote this about hotel prices.

[B]Is your objection to 5 star hotel prices due to your limit on personal spending?[/B]
You see there are no points to be redeemed or vouchers in your favorite AGOGOs in Pattaya, Thailand. But you still pay!

An Introduction for SUDSY
[QUOTE=Oakie;2976371]I'm a big fan of "making a few things clear". So let's see! LOL.
What's embarrassing (for you) is the fact that you were the one originally complaining about "what happened to our Forum?" Which prompted me to advise you and any other newbie who was in any doubt, about arguably the most obnoxious, infamous Ranter and personal insulter of all time in ISG. SUDSY HAPPENED!, with his usual schtik that he spreads like guano in every forum he can find.
I find him entertaining and I enjoy a little "fun" bantering from time to time, I have never reported, flagged or put him or anyone on ISG on ignore, in my 15 years of commenting here! Free speech and all that! But by all metrics he is arguably the singularly most obnoxious purveyor of lies, and personal insults on ISG. He claims to post advice on how to get laid in a brothel, but mostly is starting flame wars with most folks he interacts with. You don't need to be a math student to compare the rant posts to the useful ones.
Show me a Sudsy post and I'll show you a flame war with some brother mongerer.
What should also be embarrassing to you is that you manage to take apart some of his detractors by name, including yours truly, who think he's full of shit! [B]And complaining they don't follow Susdy's "advice" to cool the rhetoric! (surely the most idiotic statement ever made on ISG!)[/B].
You admit vou have a personal and business relationship with Sudsy, and you blame everybody but him, for the lack of amity and goodwill? Your opinion, your choice.
Do you not have an ounce of self awareness to see how ridiculous that sounds? LOL.
And drowns out and discredits what I first took to be you as a helpful poster in the forum.
I can't speak for the long list of posters that have no relationship with your bosum buddy with the Big Black Dick and his Stack, and don't intend to. Like me. They are in the hobby to get laid not to make internet pen pals, or rack up numbers of "posts".
But I see you are just another fake, passive / aggressive phony, with that aggressive side palpably waiting to erupt given the correct trigger!
Which puts you, in my opinion and that of others, squarely in the box with Sudsy. Jekyll and Hyde, Hyde and Jekyll both on display on any given day.
It's no longer a mystery to me why you two are joined at the hip! Money is money, business is business. I get that! That's your business! LOL.
But the feigned outrage at everybody BUT Susdy, for the demise of the conversation just doesn't sell!
I wish you well in your mutual business dealings, but as a former International Project Management Consultant to some big National Players, I will leave you with one piece of unsolicited advice. (I owe it to my Professional Standards Oath, LOL).
If your business goes beyond sharing hoe intel at a table in a local Pattaya Go Go Bar surrounded by 40 or so lady drinks, make sure you "double bag" your deal, I. E. Get at least two good lawyers.
Because if a dispute ever got to court, and his defense counsel held up his 10 years of Rants and lies of ISG, the judge would laugh you out of Court for being naive.
Take a look at all his former mentors on ISG (including me at one time) Where are they now?
It's all there in the Forums of at least 4 countries!
Former Sudsy gurus, who were tossed aside like used kleenex the moment they took any issue with him.
You're welcome!
Next? LOL.[/QUOTE]Hey Sudsy, admit it, the reason for your out of context, convoluted BS personal attack on me in this forum is because you know you can't get away with it in the Thai Stupid forum since everybody there knows you for what you are, a deeply disturbed psycho maniac. I guess I should feel complimented by the time it took you to go through my posts trying to find one you that you could purposely mischaracterize in a ridiculous attempt to, what? Who the hell knows. KKK. And to think I defended you a few months ago when everybody else in the Thai stupid forum was calling you a homo and ladyboy lover. LOL. Would you like me to post your personal message to me at the time? Hah!
So, cut the BS! If you disagree with my Go Go assessment, then why don't you post an actual review of the 2 Go Go's in question and tell us all what you like about the place. Is it because you can get a quick, cheap, BJ there, or do you really like the quality of the girls there or is it that you resent anyone who has the financial means to choose better looking girls to shag?
This is the post that upset Sudsy: "Go Go-wise Pattaya has some outstanding Go Go's filled with lots of really attractive, young, girls. But they don't come cheap!
Windmill and KINK are bawdy alright and far lewder than anything I have seen in Whiskeria 4 x4 in Rio, for example, which is a very bawdy bordello, but the quality of Windmill / Kink girls is simply atrocious. Meaning, I have never seen one fuck worthy girl in either place! But I guess everybody has their own idea of what beauty is and probably more importantly, everybody has a different limit on personal spending.
So by all means, check out Windmill at some point in your trip, just for a laugh and to say you were there, then head over to places like Pin Up, XS, and Palace where the prettiest girls in Pat Go Go's work. The difference in quality is mind blowing. ".

Personal Travel Finance 101
[QUOTE=SubCmdr;3016238][B]Is your objection to 5 star hotel prices due to your limit on personal spending?[/B]
You see there are no points to be redeemed or vouchers in your favorite AGOGOs in Pattaya, Thailand. But you still pay!
[B]ROTFLMAO![/B][/QUOTE]Of course, my objection to paying $250 to $600/ night for a 5 star hotels is primarily based on my personal spending limits and although I do have money and investments, I never spend more per year than I earn minus all mandatory and necessary expenditures on things like taxes, insurance, medical, new investments, utilities, local transportation, ect, ect. Got it? Thus, whatever is left over after accounting for all these cash outflows goes into my annual entertainment fund.
Now I like to travel and have sex with lots of young pretty girls. I usually travel for 3 or 4 months per year. That used to mean 2 trips to SE Asia per year, but since Covid I have been forced to travel around half that amount of time (6 weeks per year) due to family obligations. Anyway, yeah to do what I like and not draw down on my savings and investments, it is necessary for me to impose some budgetary constraints especially while I am on the road.
The 4 main travel expenditures we all encounter are 1. Travel, 2. Lodging, 3 Pussy, and 4. Consumption (Food, Drink, Reefer, ect). What I am going to run through now I my personal allocations based on my preferences and my self-imposed, for the most part, financial constraints. Everybody has different preferences and different constraints, but for illustrative purposes I will run down mine. Here Goes:
The most important item on my expenditure list is PUSSY! So, I almost never deny myself the pleasure or company of the girls I want. I know the prices before I go out hunting, so I hardly every am surprised and I never pay over the listed price. So, for example, if I go to a top end Macau Sauna like Familia Nobre, I know the price range before the pretty Indonesian girls help me take off my clothes. Later during Show Time I always look over all the girls starting with the regular / ordinary Chinese girls and if I spot one to my liking, great it will save some money, but usually, the quality gets better and better as I walk down the line until I find myself looking at the 'international models" and the crme de la crme "Emperor models". I will never forget the last time I was at Familia: I spotted a very sexy Singapore girl (half Chinese / half Thai) in the international model group. Then my host walked me past the "Emperor models" and Ooh La La! They had 2 Korean girls who were fucking gorgeous, a couple of equally fine Chinese girls and lastly one sublime blond Ukrainian girl and I am talking real model quality Ukrainian. So naturally I wanted her, and I stopped to chat with her a little. KKK. Then my host told me that bad news: $450 US! (FUCK!) And I just couldn't pull the trigger. It was a bridge too far. Hah! So, I went back to that pretty little Singapore girl and took her to a room and had a great time. Her sauna set price was $350 which to this day is the most I have ever paid for any girl anywhere. I have not been back to Macau since Covid, but I am sure girly prices have risen substantially there although I hope I am wrong.
My point is I try not to limit myself on pussy, because shaggin' pretty girls is #1 on my list.
Consumption is #2 and I almost never limit myself on food, drink or reefer, at least when I am travelling. So, If I want a Michelin star $60 steak and fries for myself and same same for my girl, we go out and get it! If I want to drink a bottle of good Barolo, I buy it, Although I do try not to go too crazy and stay under a hundred a bottle, usually $50 or $60 Argentine Malbec will suffice. KKK. And need I say anything more about smoke? KKK. In SP one can order several different grades. We (I) because you need a local girl with cpf card to place the order. I always order the best variety.
That leaves Transportation and Lodging, the 2 necessities of travel. But IMHO Air travel is a necessary evil and rip off. I hate coach where the fliers are treated like cattle, yet unfortunately, 1st class, or Business Class is more than double the price / double the miles of coach so usually don't have the points for Business Class and the upgrade would take me over my budget. So, I live without the upgrade as I do not view it as an actual necessity. Poor little me! But I do pay up for the BS extended leg room seat currently running at around $300/ round trip from US to SP because that I view as necessary. So yes, I am willing to spend around $1500 currently on a round trip, but not $3200. That's just me. I have some pals who can afford it a little better than I can, so they fly Business or 1st. I am not jealous, that is just the way things are. Good for them.
And lastly, there is Lodging which I consider of similar importance as flying certain classes. In other words, If I have the points I will book the 5 stars. If a favorite 5 star is having a sale and I can book a room for around the same price as 4 star, I will book the 5 star because I like 5 star hotels, but I have no problem staying at 4 stars when the 5 stars have priced themselves above my price point. It's that simple.
I will pay what the market forces demand and not quibble about it too much when it comes to the things that are really important to me like having really pretty girls and food & drink. But on the less important items and / or the material upgrades, I am actually pretty frugal, LOL, in order to stay on budget. And as I keep saying, everybody has a different set of preferences & priorities & financial constraints. EVERYBODY! So why are we fighting SubCmdr? Just post a review of Windmill and Kink and stop fucking around with me. Or not. Up to you.
A lesson in hypocrisy for A. H!

I consider pussy to be a less important item. Yet you imply I don't pay for the same amount as you do because I cannot afford it.

[U]You need information about Windmill and Kink?[/U]
Brother use the search function. It takes me very little time to look anyone posts that I want.
Search Forum. Advanced. Keyword: [U]Windmill[/U] - User: [U]Subcmdr[/U] took 0.32 seconds.
You will find an extensive number of posts that give my personal evaluation of those two locations in Pattaya, Thailand. This is not a fight, it is a debate. I have not called you a single name. Only pointed out the hypocrisy of your statements. I live within my means also. So, ask yourself why are you being critical of the types of prostitutes I hire or the amounts I pay for them?
An Apology for 2 Outrageous Posts
SubCmdr,
After taking a sober look at your post in Stupid Brazil thread and my extreme over reaction to it, I want to humbly apologize to you. I am the one who went psycho here, not you and I have no real excuse for what I did. I should have read your post before overreacting to it like I did. I am under a lot of stress at the moment due to a family crisis so when I saw you had responded to my hotel post (originally in the SP thread) in the stupid Brazil thread; I instantly and foolishly jumped to the conclusion that you were launching a personal attack.
I can only offer you my sincere apology for this fuckup and I have asked the moderator to remove my 2 offensive posts in the stupid Brazil and stupid Thai threads.
P.S. I tried to send you a PM, but your mailbox is full.
A. H.
