Good thing they don't like Dom Perignon!
[QUOTE=Evianist]Anyone else notice that thai girls really run up the bill when you take them out for food? And then never say thank you afterwards?...This has happened to me with a non-working girl too. She kept ordering two main dishes for each meal and then not even eating half of them...Then they wonder why you don't want them as a girlfriend. Girls who blow your money on things they wouldn't need if they were paying are girls to drop sooner rather than later.[/QUOTE]Evanist, you're just on a steep learning curve at the moment, just like many of of us were at one time. The opportunity to order expensive food is viewed as a treat for them. Just know that experienced P4P ladies are masters of extracting baht in various forms from their [i]customers.[/i]. They even gloat about it over [i]som tam[/i] with their girlfriends!
The longer you are in TH you'll become used to this behavior. Thai working ladies are much like, (and often are), spoiled teenagers, Give them an inch and they will take a mile. You either deal with it and not worry too much, or take control of the situation and lay down some rules.
After awhile, if you are in a "real" relationship, you will find that most Thai women are somewhat frugal and watch every baht. It then will work to your advantage as they know how to bargain and get much better prices than [i]farang[/i] in most circumstances.
Besides, if someone were taking me out to eat, (which almost never happens anymore except on a client's expense account), I always order a big steak!
