Just a curious observation I have made in the 21 months I have been posted up here in Thailand. In fact some people still call me a newbie and they don't even live in Thailand.

I have noticed that there are lot of posters who do not live in Thailand willing to tell others who actually live in Thailand what to do. Then you have the people that actually live in Thailand who give provide insights to others who don't live in Thailand but who have NEVER told anyone else what they should be doing.

So far, so good. I am not experience any of the the sky is falling, chicken little issues others are screaming warnings about. I am have NO problem with Thai Ladies. I am have more mental acuity, I am a peace with myself, and under less stress and I am exercising regularly. I have a better over all lifestyle than when I lived in the Dominican Republic and Colombia. Life is so good for me that I really don't ever want to leave. I hope The Kingdom continues to extend me invitations to spend time here for as long I wish to stay. I think it is a win / win situation. A far cry from the negativity I see constantly expressed in many of the Thailand threads. Mostly by visitors. That makes complete sense to me. Why would a person choose to live someplace they do not like to live. I know I wouldn't. Of course I don't know why someone would continue to visit a place that they have complaints about either.

Lately I have received so many suggestions for other places in the world that are better for International Tricking than Pattaya or greater Thailand. In my opinion, there is really no need for all the negativity. If you don't like Pattaya just visit another location. It is pretty simple.

One of my few rules is that I don't go with Thai ladies who have a Farang boyfriend

Who goes up to a hooker asking if they have a boyfriend? That is like me asking if the franchisee of the McDonald's I plan to eat at is married, and if so, then I will not eat at that McDonald's. My money is only for single McDonald's owners; I would just assume starve to death than buy a hamburger from someone who has a boyfriend.

But afterwards, she posted on Facebook about her English boyfriend who was paying for a house for her. So I cut her off.

You cut a hooker off? Who talks like this? You were paying a price for a service. Usually it is the people doing the service that cuts the receiver of the service off.

The bartender cuts off the person they are serving drinks to. The electric company cuts off the person they are providing power to. The drug dealer cuts off the person they are selling drugs to.

The person going to ask for the service to be provided is not the one that does the cutting off. If I stop going to Sizzler, then I can not say I cut them off. If Sizzler stops letting me go to the buffet, then I can say they cut me off.

Gold is probably the richest material gift you can give a woman.

What happened to Diamonds are a girl's best friend. LOL! Did something change and I did not get the memo? ROTFLMAO!!

A financially intelligent man buys assets that appreciate in value, gives off cash flow or both. That is how I created a flow that built my STACK that allows me to Ball out like Pro! in Thailand and the Dominican Republic. Actually, a very important person in my life taught me about Thai Gold. She told me that she survived the COIVD fiasco by selling off the gold she had accumulated during good times. I see gold as a store of value. I put part of my Stack where my thoughts are. As I have explained over in the General Reports thread the idea is to preserve value in case of emergency. I review of the value of gold since I learned of its importance in the Thai Economy shows that I am on the right track.

I AM the authority on Thai Gold up in this thread. I AM the only one that has written about it extensively since I got here. Thai Gold it is the gold spot price set by the market that determines value, not someone's memories or opinions.

Intelligent girls hold onto their gold in case of a financial emergency. A stupid girl is going to waste her money. So it does not matter what form that you give it to her in.

I only give gold to intelligent girls.

Ballin like Thai Gold Pro!

My point is that even civvie Thai ladies can be tricky.

Girls cheat all over the world. Exactly what makes you think that Thai ladies have the corner of the market on these things?

Personally I think guys know EXACTLY what they are getting into when they provide support to a girl. Does not matter where that girl may be. Does not matter the relationship with that girl. Does not matter what your country of origin is or hers. Does not matter if you are living with her in the same house, town, city, or country.

For me, it is not a news flash that girls cheat. Personally I DO NOT enter monogamous relationships. For me it is more important not to be lied to if I ask the question. Otherwise a girl that is in my life does her own thing and I do my own thing. I refuse to let others define my multiple relationship (s). Or how I chose to use my Stack.

My Time; My Stack; My Dick; My Call!

Although I understand why they do it. It is because they are involved in failed relationships of their own and they are jealous of mine. In my opinion, they should focus on their own lives not mind. Just take a quick review of all of the posts that make some kind of reference to my multiple relationships in the Thailand Forums. I enjoy being a free thinker and being able to take action and live my life accordingly.

One of my few rules is that I don't go with Thai ladies who have a Farang boyfriend (I don't count sponsors as boyfriends). So, last year I went to Chumphae for one night with a Thai lady. She fucked until I fell asleep, and then woke me up at 4 am for more, almost killed me.

But afterwards, she posted on Facebook about her English boyfriend who was paying for a house for her. So I cut her off. But not before she introduced me to a friend of hers from a village near Chumphae. I was considering another trip to Chumphae, but then she showed her English boyfriend on FB. He came for a short visit, afterwards she told me she was finished with him. So she wanted me to visit.

My point is that even civvie Thai ladies can be tricky.

[SubCmdr]

You must be very special.

I am!

The entire concept of a guy going to Thailand to find a girlfriend is flawed, for obvious reasons.

We have had this discussion before. You took issue with me on it.

What makes it worse if that Thai women in general, including civvies, are very skilled in snaring ATMs. Any guy who has spent time in Thailand will have stories about Thai women trying to snare them.

Been posted up in Thailand. This has never happened to me.

You once said to Follow The Money as a determination of type and quality of your relationship. I get gifts, CASH MONEY and GOLD from the Thai Girl I consider most important in my life.

I've had plenty of non-transactional girlfriends in Thailand, and so have many of my foreign friends. Not all Thai girls are on the takethat's just a tired stereotype.

Good point!

When I met my girlfriend, she was doing shit that I appreciated and I must have been doing stuff that she liked (I do not give her money). We are in Vietnam now and just finished at a buffet She was sitting down eating and I got to the table and asked where the utensils were. All I needed her to do was point, but she stopped eating and got up and went across the room to get them for me. She is the definition of a help meet.

Same Same me. You make good point!

He has already said that he means hookers when he says women on this site. So Thai hookers will definitely bleed you dry, as will any hooker. The good news is that you are the one who controls your wallet. If you do not give it, then you do not get bled dry.

Agreed!

Next comes the Your bar girl is different straw man logical fallacy. Because Explorer8939 will not admit or recognize that is is possible to have a relationship with a girl who is NOT a prostitute.

I got a V-Day gift! Did any of you get one?

[SubCmdr]

I think that you should be commended for your contribution to the local economy of Pattaya.

Thank you Oakie I appreciate the complement

I just bought a Galaxy 6 Classic BT 47 mm. While in the store they asked me if I need VAT form. I told them know I would not be leaving anytime soon.

You see just like in the Dominican Republic there is a VAT here. The VAT in the Dominican Republic is called IBTIS. It is 18%. At least it was that much when I lived there.

How much is VAT in Thailand?

VAT for tourists in Thailand is straightforward with a general rate of 7% for most goods and services. You will see this tax rate on many goods and services you are purchasing.
You might sometimes see the rate of zero percent as well. This means your goods and services are in the taxable category, but at a rate of 0%. This rate is applied to these goods and services1:
Exported goods and services;
Services rendered in Thailand, but wholly consumed in other countries;
International aircraft or sea-going vessel transport services;and
Supply of goods or services between bonded warehouses or between enterprises located in a free-trade zone.

[Mr Enternational]

Not all Thai girls are on the takethat's just a tired stereotype. Maybe you just need to meet different Thai women, ones who aren't working in gentlemen's clubs in Pattaya. This whole "Thai women will bleed you dry" conspiracy theory is old and played out. If you keep running into the same bad experiences, maybe it's time to ask yourself why.

That's a pretty bleak take. Sure, there are plenty of horror stories about foreigners getting taken for a ride, but that's usually because they ignore red flags or chase the wrong type of woman. Thailand isn't some magical exceptionif you go looking for love in bars or throw money around to impress someone, of course, you're setting yourself up for trouble. But plenty of guys have happy, stable relationships here too. It all comes down to common sense, self-respect, and picking the right person for the right reasons.

If you want evidence, visit the Dark side in Pattaya. It's filled with Farangs who settled down with a Thai lady, many of whom quickly announced that they were too old for sex. This requires the Farang to hit the local bars for female company. Why do you think there are so many bars in the Dark side?

While the Farang is away, the Thai lady can play with her Thai boyfriend, who she is supporting.

Just count the Farang bars in the Darkside, and you can imagine how many Farangs are stuck with a Thai lady who lives with them for money.

I am in agreement with you. The funnies thing about the OP comments about Thai girls is that he wrote this as a reply to me:

Are you really in Thailand? You don't know that there are 100's of 1000's of Farangs living in Thailand with Thai women?

Then he writes this:

You don't know what you are getting into. It is incredibly easy to find a long term lady in Thailand. The problem is that she will extract all your money from you, until you are penniless or dead. No lack of foreigners diving off hotel balconies when their money runs out.

Where are all the reports about these events that he says: No lack of foreigners diving off hotel balconies when their money runs out. Surely if this was happening on a regular basis the local news outlets would cover it.

I am still waiting for Explorer8939 to provide me to some links to these reports of all of the suicides that he claims are happening.

I love how people brag about their relationships that do not involve money. Did the OP go dutch on the buffet? She she paying half for the hotel room (I am assuming they are sleeping in the same bed)? How did they get to Vietnam? Did she pay for her own plane ticket?

Well I brag the other direction. I have a girl in my life that is very important to me. Today I was on the street preparing for V-Day. A couple of small giifts one very important gift that was chump change for me (one small profitable trade) but will mean the world to her. Now I could engage in self delusion and say I don't give her money. But that is to be pedantic because all of the gifts involve money. When we go out, it involves money. The difference is that she gives to me also. Gifts that cost money. Amounts of money that are not insignificant to her. The idea that relationships do not involve money is a delusional state of mind that I have seen proffered in threads across ISG. To each their own in their way of thinking.

ROTFLMAO!!

Not many mongers, have as many as 3 "Wives", in other countries who you "support", with your largesse!, along with your latest "gik".

I think you set some kind of example for all mongers! LOL.

No lack of foreigners diving off hotel balconies when their money runs out.

Last report of a suicide in the Bangkok Post is this one:

https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning...arewell-letter

No mention of a Thai girl being involved. So, I respectfully request that the OP back up his statement with some facts or simply admit that it is his opinion.

[Explorer8939]

Can anyone recommend methods to look into finding a long term partner from Thailand?

I used tinder in Mexico but that one fell through. I found that Mexican girls have largely become westernized.
