[QUOTE=Smoothy;2068376]I don't use cialis anymore because at times it gives me headaches. And it lasts 3 days. So if it does result in a headache, I have a headache for 3 days straight.[/QUOTE]When I use Kamagra Gel I always get a runny nose. Don't know if I'd like to take the risk of 3 days with headache.
[QUOTE=DextroSol;2068248]Interesting discussion. I have tried Kamagra Gel, it works quickly in about 15 minutes, but for me it has not so long effect. You say you get 2 days out of a 20 MG. Do you split the pill in smaller pieces, or only one pill work that long? I read DavidRim was offered Cialis for 2750 baht, how many pills for that price?
Another question, I read somewhere in this forum about a super thin condom made in Japan. Don't remember the name, so I hope somebody can update on name and where to buy them.[/QUOTE]Kamagra (Sildenafil) is not intended to last a long time. At 4 hours it is supposed to be at only 50% effective (which may well be more than enough for some people). So it is best used when sex is going to happen soon, if you don't think your dick will stay up long enough. 100 MG dose is far too high for most guys. 25 MG may well work well.
Cialis (Tadalafil) or generic Apcalis is supposed to last for much longer duration. Probably best to not split this one (I am not sure). It does nothing much in my case, so I don't bother to use it. Sounds like it doesn't work that well for DavidRim either but that is not the case for everyone. His delayed reaction, scientifically seems unlikely. Maybe some other factors interacted. E. g. I found my dick did not work well when took cough medication. Cough medication dulls feeling in your throat and in your dick as well. I envy those who need to drink alcohol to dull the feeling in the dick so they can last longer. I have opposite problem. Takes me too long to cum, so I certainly don't need plenty of alcohol to dampen the dick sensitivity further.
A girl recently asked me for advice to improve the sex life with her man, because when she rode him cowgirl style (in order to cum), his dick would wilt too quickly. Normally sex with him was all over too quickly so she never got to cum. I advised that she need to dose him with Kamagra, and apparently the advice worked well. He now stays up better so she can get her cum as well. I also advised her to lose her shyness and train him up in DATY. Haven't got a report on how that part went yet.
[QUOTE=MusicalToM;2068723]Recently bagged a job at Bangkok. The pay is a little above 70 k per month and will increase in coming times. Work location would be around Ekamai.
Do you guys think after all the expenses (except on girls), I'll be able to save 50%+ of my salary every month? FYI, I'm planning to rent a 1 bedroom condo.
Where I'm working right now, pays me 40% more than this salary but since it's Thailand I'm willing to compromise. Any suggestion / comment on expenses in general would be appreciated.
Tom.[/QUOTE]70 k would not be enough for all of us, however I am used to earning more and have too many regular commitments. If you don't have any things that you have to pay, then 70 k may well be okay Especially if is only a 40 k drop for you.
Look around and try to get a very cost effective room. You don't want to pay very high for that I guess. One guy told me he stays in one room accommodation for 10 K around Thonglor area. Can pay less if further out. However this is apartment block, not really "condo" quality. Higher quality can cost heaps more.
You can eat very cheaply in Thailand by buying food from street stalls or even preparing it yourself. I use an induction cooker on my balcony otherwise have only microwave on top of the fridge.
So with no mongering, no dependents to support, and living fugally you could well save 50 K per month. The catch is what your lifestyle will be. Will you eat and drink at the sports pub or restaurants? Transport costs. Holiday costs. Will you spend too much on girls? How many fucks do you need per month? How will you make them cheap ones? Will you manage to get freebies? Do you have any other expensive hobbies? I don't need to know your answers. You need to make a budget, and see how little savings will be left.
However be aware that guys thought they could live on tight budget but it is not always as much fun as they hoped. Others complained that originally their budget was fine, but costs went up, especially for mongering.
Suggest trying for very cheap room to stay at the start and see how your budget goes before upgrading to higher quality accomodation. If was me I would want to minimise overheads.
If I never had any GFs and never mongered, I would be very rich by now. LOL

Mongering is something one should never add in monthly budget since it might go up / down depending upon one's taste and need. That's the only reason I didn't sum up the money which will go towards ladies. I do am going to spend some money on account of GF and those expenses will be recurring from my savings, and it varies month to month. I'm planning to get an induction to start cooking every now and then to save some money from that part. While going as a tourist I used to spend more on girls, but I believe this is something I'll have to control for sure. I did look into few rental pages in Facebook and it looks like 12 k is the minimum budget for a Studio /1 Bedroom condo with minimal facilities and not on a prime location.
Other things like transportation, vacations may be twice or thrice a year will be accountable from my savings. I know 70-75 k is not much but I'm trying to start with it making it as a base.

Cialis price update. Managed to get original Cialis in Patong for 2200 which is expensive but fair considering pricing elsewhere in the world. Definitely worth paying for branded, safe meds that actually work. Had a great weekend.

Very few of my GFs have been, perhaps I am not stingy enough. Mongering can be cheaper unless GF gives a very good fuck very regularly.
Bear in mind that Electricity charges, to run your air con, are significant and could add 2k per month.
Yes I would not be surprised if nothing lower than 12K around Ekkamai. Market spoiled by presence of so many Japanese. I live (part time) further out where prices are a bit better. Many working girls live very cheaply (for rent) in Phra Khanong just a bit further out, but rooms standard maybe too low.
If was me, and I did not make a mongering budget, I could spend it all. I have cut back a lot on girls and also on dining and drinking outside home. If you like restaurants and pubs too much, you will spend. I have cut my attendance to the sports pub, because it has good food but it is not cheap.

I've been to BKK numerous times but as a tourist, so honestly no idea about monthly expenses. I searched over Internet for this but most of the information available are outdated!

Tom.[/QUOTE]If you plan to monger and rent a decent condo on suk, then the full 70 K won't be enough. Forget about 35 k. In my opinion, for the first few months, you will probably burn through most of your savings as well because it's difficult not to live like a tourist when you first arrive. It will seem like an extended vacation. Then when the money runs out and you start to live pay check to pay check, reality sets in. My advice is as follows:
Rent a modest apt outside the city centre but near the BTS line such as the lat Phrao area. It should cost about 6,000 Baht per month plus utilities. Eat Thai food from street food stalls and walk wherever you can. If your goal is to find a Thai girlfriend, then you can afford a nicer place to live. But if you want to practice this hobby, stick to this plan. With this plan, you should be able to monger 2 times per month. Do an oily and then pick up one freelancer. Unfortunate, the go go scene will be easy to blow your cash. A normal night out on Soi Cowboy or nana always runs me 6-8 K. That includes drinks for me and lady drinks for the girls in 3 or 4 different bars, a bite to eat, the bar fine, ST time room, and the St or LT rate for the girl. You can see just by this example, it won't be possible to save 35 K and be a regular monger at the go go bars.

It looks like it's going to be steep to live, enjoy and save a bit in this budget. May be I need to negotiate the offer to get more as an expat.
I wouldn't mind staying a bit away from Ekkamai, but if I'm going to spend more on transportation, it's not going to worth it. When I was dating this girl, she used to give me nice fucks but after she become GF the experience drastically changed. Now she is more like a starfish in bed and more passive during sex compared to earlier times. However she does give me regular fucks, although sometimes she argues with me about it. Now I'm habituated to it and kind of adjusted myself. I honestly don't think I'm going to spend much on fucks, may be once or twice a month on other girls.

I assume that means he's excited to live here for obvious reasons. That being the case, I don't think he'll save any money whether he has a Thai girlfriend or no girlfriend and mongers. If he wants both, then his budget will be completely out of wak.

Going into mongering mode will exhaust all the amount, forget about saving. I already have a GF (I spend on her as well) and I'm hoping to fulfill my fuck needs mostly with her. However few visits to Oilies or GoGos is expected, like you said twice a month or so.
I definitely will rent a condo that's why planned a budget of 12 k for this. I'm planning to cook my dinner at home and lunch outside, thus saving some on food. Breakfast and snacks on weekdays will be offered at my workplace. I'm expecting a rough expenditure of 35-40 k per month including everything. However more expenses are expected if visiting GoGos more often!

I was in Bangkok a few weeks ago and spent around 7 k for the night. Had quite a bit to drink since I was on a 1 day visa run from Pakistan and had built up a month long thirst. Drinks for some girls, take a girl back tot he hotel, etc. All adds up.
If I lived in Bangkok 70 k would even cover my bar bills.
Senior in BKk,
I need some help and guidance. I will have Saturday night and there in BLk till Monday afternoon. I have done both BkK and Pattaya in the past. Not sure what I should do. Never been on such a short trip. Any suggestions? Saturday seems more logical for BKk and Sunday is where I am confused. Any help. Will love to see Thai including Issan girls and Russians.
