Don't listen to individuals here. Especially me. LOL!

Find a girl over 30 that has been through the struggle. Start in [U]Cockbang[/U]. You want an educated girl, that has a regular job. You want to learn Thai. Establish a social circle. Take your time. It will take you getting involved with 100's of girls if you are just looking for one. Might a suggest a 6 girl harem. With one as your bottom ***** to keep the rest of them in line. If six is too much at least three. You can live with them. But make sure YOU own your own place or the place is rented in your name. But before you have girl move in with you. Seek out competent legal counsel about your potential domestic situation.

Ignore the idea that a girlfriend is free. That is an idea proffered by those experiencing resource scarcity. There are a lot of posters that fit that category in Thailand forums. That being said, [U]Thailand[/U] is a society built on transactional relationships. You are not going to get girl 40 years you junior because of your physical characteristics. If you understand the nature of this society and leave your western ideas in the airport you will be departing from you will be good once you arrive here.

All the unsolicited advice I have received here in the Thailand Threads has proven to be bad advice. From Tax Advice, Investment Advice or Relationship Advice. You do not want to be taking relationship advice from [B]International Tricks[/B]. Check out the first response given to you. Ask the OP if he has a Thai Girlfriend.

I would suggest looking in places like Hua Hin or similar places. Places with high tourist traffic are where you are more likely to find an English speaking girlfriend. I would suggest trying out different places a week or too at a time. Make friends with expats and their wives and girlfriends can introduce you to prospects. A word of caution, avoid expats who sit in bars all day. The golf course is a good way to make friends.

Thai bar girls are among the most devious in the world when it comes to impoverishing foreign men. It is tragically common that foreign men will find themselves dead broke in Pattaya, and choose to jump off a balcony.

You should decide how much money you are willing to flush down toilet in the process of obtaining a Thai lady, and fence off the rest of your stash.

Whatever you do, don't put your new sweetheart in your will.

I've never been taken by a Thai lady for anything significant, but I know ladies who are serial bankrupters of foreigners. Since karma is real, most of the ladies get taken by Thai men (their money gets taken), so the ladies are forced to continue looking for new victims.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2967615]The question is how many ExPats are going to file a Thai tax return for the first time in 2025.[/QUOTE]There will be enough to make things interesting.

Although there is a law I seriously like most things anyone is checking! Condos must be 51/49 majority owned by Thais. In theory even Chinese, Korean can only buy into foreign ownership 49, I cannot confirm whether either party selling aren't willing to provide a discount from my experience.

In the Bang Na area Ive been in buildings that seem it is all owned by Chinese, even designs looks Chinese and are run like Hotels.

Apparently Thai companies have been fronting for Chinese, probably Koreans too.

When a condo is built, typically 51% of the units are owned by a Thai company. The rest are sold to foreigners.

It's common for the 51% of the units to remain unfinished, unless a Thai citizen buys one. That's one of the reason you see so many empty condo buildings at night.

[QUOTE=Allover;2967692]The Chinese buyer bought the condo at a discount. You would have probably had to pay more. This is even more proof that Koreans (and Chinese) are favored over Westerners. I wouldn't be surprised if the real estate agent was female and urged the seller to accept the Chinese buyer's bid due to her preference of Koreans and Chinese. Buying a condo is not simple like buying shoes. Be careful. It's not the goldmine you think it is.[/QUOTE]Thai people are generally not fond of Chinese.

Japanese and Koreans are a different story.

If you're not in country yet, or even if you are, you can start by talking to the ladies on [URL]thaiflirting.com[/URL] and [URL]thaifriendly.com[/URL] . Also, there are many groups on Facebook that exist solely for the purpose of pairing up Thai ladies with Western gentlemen. Good luck!

[QUOTE=AggieDad1;2967731]As [u]Mr. E[/u] said finding a girlfriend will not be hard. [/QUOTE]I make it a point to pay much attention to anything he says.

[QUOTE=AggieDad1;2967731]A word of caution, avoid expats who sit in bars all day.[/QUOTE]If you don't sit in bar with them that is pretty easy todo. I find that the expats from my country of origin are mostly old, fat, ugly, dress poorly and have bad attitudes. Many of them post in these threads. I don't have to name names cause they are easy to identify.

[QUOTE=AggieDad1;2967731] The golf course is a good way to make friends.[/QUOTE]Yep, I've heard about the caddies. LOL!

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2964261]Sorry, your ex-bargirl is different. Your posts about common experiences in Pattaya are a bit comical, since you act as if they are special.

Even "civvie" women in Pattaya often go with customers, either by working a shift on Beach Road or just nabbing a customer at their shop. One reason why Pattaya is monger heaven.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2964090]If you found out your kik had a Thai man, you would have a sad. You are doing what many Farangs do in Pattaya. Find a bargirl who is "different". Good luck with that.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Allover;2964222]Stub after you get settled in you will find many kiks are ex-bar girls. She probably got kicked out for being too ugly and not making any money. Or for stealing from customers. If not that she's an ex-Beach Road girl which you are so attracted to.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Allover;2964222]When deported your three acquaintances from this board won't be able to help you. The manager at the GC club will finish your bottle with your kik before he takes her upstairs, licks her pussy, and bangs the hell out of her.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2964925]LOL, boy, I took you off ignore when I found out you had a hooker girlfriend. She's different. Yeah, she was gobbling spooge from random dudes for 10 baht a pecker behind the palm tree near the sewer at the coconut bar, but it's not like that with me. We have a deep connection.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2964700]I guess by putting MessBoy on ignore, I miss the good stuff and thanks for alerting me that he has a "gik" in Pattaya, Now he has sunk to the level of defending some Thai hookers honour.

Anyway, its amazing to me that the international trick, the world famous big black dick (translation: I'm sad, weak, uneducated, obnoxious and a biatch so I will use racist tropes about black mens penii to make you think I am a man) has fallen in love with a GILF from the BJ bars or as is highly likely, a hag from Beach Road who was found one time unconscious on her face with a rubber hanging out of her ass and a fistfull of rupees. Love is in the air.

But what's he going to do when he continues his International Trick Lifestyle and leaves his beloved? Send her $$ while she she peddles her ass to all and sundry at her bargain rate? Has he, the worlds greatest professional trick fallen in love?

How about it you two bit uneducated ghetto thug. Going to defend the honour of your girl? Call me out? Tell me to come visit you at some bar in Pattaya? You going to be there when we show up, or are you just the chickensh*t little biatch we all know you are.[/QUOTE]Now ask yourself again, are these the people you wish to seek relationship advice from? It should be noted that I have not asked for Relationship Advice, Tax Advice, nor Financial Advice from anyone in these forums.

Why? [B]Cause I know how to stack my flow! Fuck my ***** (no, she is not sitting on my face)! And seek out competent tax advice![/B].

[QUOTE=Allover;2967692]Buying a condo is not simple like buying shoes. Be careful. It's not the goldmine you think it is.[/QUOTE]Especially if they come along and build something else right in front of your view. Or like in my buddy's case, a Russian disco moves in next door. Then you can read about folks in houses whose neighbors have dogs that bark all night.

[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2967697]You have proffered nothing to indicate it was a bad investment. You spoke out of turn without having any of the details. Tell me how much time do you spend in Pattaya? Of that how much time to you take out of your [B]International Tricking[/B] time to spend looking in the rental and purchase markets. Can you give me a specific example? If you cannot, then read following and learn.

The tools need to calculate if a real estate purchase is a good deal are learned in elementary school. It is basic arithmetic. The concept I use is: [U]Cash on Cash[/U] return. If you are not familiar with it google it.

1,900,000 THB /120 month = 16,000 THB / month (rounded up).

If you can rent the unit for 16,000 THB / month that is a 10.1% [U]Cash on Cash[/U] return. How much are you getting from a Treasury Bill these days?

After 120 months the rental income will have returned all your invested capital in the unit and from that point on your return is infinite because you have zero invested in it. We haven't even factored in potential capital appreciation of the 10 years it takes to break even cash wise.

The unit in question was 100 m2 double unit with two full bathrooms that could be rented as is. 10th Floor. Good view out over Soi Bon Cock. 16,000 THB of rent a month in the area and building I looked would have been stretching it. But given the size and uniqueness of there might have been a lot of appeal to a [U]Farang[/U] in the right mindset.[/QUOTE]That's one way to look at it.

If you're thinking that your unit will be rent every month for 10 years, I'd rather call this wishful thinking. And you didn't count all the expenses you'll going to have during these 10 years on top of the initial 500000 you said you were planning to spend to refurbish the place.

In any case, nobody is giving you an advice as nobody has any information on your situation.

People are telling you to be cautious with these kind of investment, and what they are saying does not sound silly.

People looking for a place to stay on long term in Pattaya can easily find a good place for under 8000 baht (all included), which is half the price you used in your explanation.

Besides, if you were really cashing in as much as you're saying, you wouldn't be looking for such investments. Just saying.

[QUOTE=UglyAzzMan;2967775]Age appropriate GF will be food only. Hahaha. Hahaha.[/QUOTE]Are you saying "age appropriate" women are not eager sex partners in Thailand? That issue is a critical so intel is most welcome.

I can, and am willing to, provide financially for decent living & travel, but am seeking an English speaking, compliant & sex positive GF with excellent & eager oral skills, committed to making life comfortable for us as a homemaker. NOT seeking a tute, ex bar girl. I'm a well dressed average looking gentleman, never abusive or unkind, but am firm on keeping to agreements. I'm working with SKI money (Spending Kids Inheritance) so can afford high end. But I have been around. I have seen & am wary.

Having just been widowed it will be awhile before I"m ready but I will be ready within 12 months. Your help is truly appreciated.

You'the be paying at least 25% not counting any money brought over. And maintenance? Of course, for 10 years that would be a tidy sum.

If you ever go to the Darkside in east Pattaya, the number of bars there is striking, given that tourists never go there unless they are lost. So why so many bars, if only ExPats are potential customers? Because so many lonely guys come to Thailand to find a wife or GF, run into a lady who provides amazing sex, settle down into a committed relationship, and then the Thai lady announces she cannot have sex anymore. So, the lonely guy goes to a local bar and strikes up a relationship with a bargirl. Good for the wife / GF, since when he is gone, she can play with her Thai man.

It's a trap!
