Pattaya Reports

[Explorer8939]

Sounds great. I'm guessing 90% of my money transactions in Thailand go to girls, bars for drinks, restaurants that don't accept credit cards, and 711's. Unless the QR code thing works for any / all of the above I'm still going to need ATM withdrawals every few days.

My Bangkok Bank app says "Scan QR code / barcode".

There are some bars where the cashiers use QR codes for payment of bar bills.

Never met a bargirl who had a QR code, but there are some I pay via transfer to their bank account.

[Raj Patela]

I will put the Commander on the Spot.

Please rate Baitoey of Playpen. Is she quality to you?

There is no Wrong Answer. Hahaha. Hahaha.

P.S. . I'm in no way Critical of guy who like Cheap. I'm sure those girls get more Stars when rated in categories other than looks.

[Raj Patela]

Exercise in Futility.

The Cummander gets Quality at 1,000.

On his scale what does low quality get 300?

[MartinFlevo]

PS2. At Tantra there are quite a few 1,000 baht quality girls. I can't imagine them even getting 40 drinks in a 10 day period. I'm thinking maybe 3 and that's if Mr Kim Jong Wan rings the BeLL.

Since when Tantra allows Indians? Last of my knowledge is they are not keen on them (like most A gogos).

Now tell me: Which bar has a 2500 THB barfine again?

Pinup / XS? Can even be above 3 K sometimes.

[TheTank85]

I totally agree with you.

A similar thing happened to me again last night.

A regular, non P4 P lady I had been casually dating and fucking for a while before my current GF moved in Lined me as she has occasionally lately anyway and again the Hi How Are Yous and When Can We Meets led to me explaining and confirming that I will not be meeting her in the foreseeable future and why. She didn't take it well.

A few minutes later she Lined back asking if I would transfer 300 baht to her. No reason given. She has a good regular job and makes enough money to take care of herself and her family. But I had done that every now and then as a token gesture while she was at work. "I sent you 300 baht just now to buy you lunch today, honey," kind of thing.

I said No. I knew she did not desperately need 300 baht for anything. If there was any hint that she really did desperately need 300 baht and right this minute because her life depended on it, I would have transferred 400 baht to her and really saved the day. LOL. But I knew and she knew I knew that request was only a last ditch test to see if I was still emotionally connected to her in any way.

You know, when many of these Thai women were babies they were told by Grandma that their absent Mother, who was working and living far, far away through much of their upbringing, certainly loves them because, "Look at the money she sent us from Bangkok"!

And, imo, that is a big reason they grow up concluding that Money = Love.

It isn't always and only about tricking and scamming us. Sometimes, OK maybe rarely, it is also about checking to see if we are still connected to them in the way they associate with "taking care" of them emotionally as well as financially.

However, even with that generous view of such a thing, I would consider requests for almost any amount of money when you are not even in the same province, much less the same country, where it is impossible to meet in person within the hour or tomorrow to very, very likely be just a cold-hearted scam to get money for nothing.

Your discussion with Raj Tapeja was about Trantra Agogo on Walking street.

The name of the place didn't change from the moment you asked your question to the moment you resolved the equation.

To answer your next question: yes there are many other Agogos on Walking street charging these kind of outragous barfines.

Old days behind a lady after everything is rung up sees the total amount and then decides to get her purse out to pay! The only time I stop for Big Mac is at the rest stop going to the airport to pick up family or friends at the airport. They have this ordering kiosk to order I can't take the pressure with a line behind me breathing down my neck.

I loathe that. Oh you've been standing in queue for ten minutes, and then you act surprised when you see the total. Then you need to fumble with your purse or wallet and take out some money. Did you honestly think that you wouldn't need to pay? Why are you standing in queue then? In your 50 odd years of life, I'm sure you have gone through a check out queue before. And each time you've paid.

It's one thing if you're trying to use an e-pay and you don't know how or it isn't working. It's another thing to look like a deer in the headlamp when the cashier says your total will be 19.99.

Thankfully I haven't had that happen to me. But at an airport on a layover, if you waste my time, then fuck you.

[SubCmdr]

Good way to remind everyone you're a Buffalo, in case they didn't realize yet.

Got to love it when a plan comes together. You keep enjoying my work and responding to it please. 555.

[SubCmdr]

Beware there are a few around that are yellow but they don't have the black T&T logo.

Example below:

[SubCmdr]

Since you could not do the math I have done it for you. I even showed my work to help you follow along.

You got it wrong, like always. 1000 Baht is 40% of the barfine, not barfine equal 40% of 1000 baht. Do the math and make us laugh again.

The equation is:

1000/ x= .4.

Solve for x.

Multiply by x.

1000=. 4 x.

Divide by. 4;.

X = 2500.

I learned how to do this in elementary school.

Now tell me: Which bar has a 2500 THB barfine again?

[SubCmdr]

I suspect that what you refer to as quality is not seen as such by other mongers.

Suspect that you have just given your opinion.

Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge..

And I know for a fact that the definition I just gave applies to the statement you made. Forgive me. Are you in Pattaya right now? Have you seen any of the prostitutes that I have hired?

Everyone is entitle to their own opinions. But not their own facts.

[Turgid]

You taking Raj Raj position E man that quality pussy cannot be found at 1000 THB? .....

I suspect that what you refer to as quality is not seen as such by other mongers.

The QR-code system works really well in Thailand and I use it for everything, greatly reducing the frequency of ATM withdrawls.

On your phone you just need to open the app for your Thai bank account, and in that app there is a button called "scan QR code" or something like that. Click on that and it will turn on the camera and look at the picture / qr-code. Instant transfer from your account to the coconut-sellers account.

Thanks for the information, I could learn from my wife, son, and daughter-in-law but I haven't but I know it is a matter of time. I've been around when they use it and it has actually come in handy. They paid the granddaughter's hospital bill with it before we got to the hospital to pick her up that saved a lot of time usually we have to wait a few hours for them to settle up.

What bothers me about living here I end up in line, and I carry cash as old school as it gets, although fumbling around getting older I know I lost a lot of baht through the years I start to count my baht, and then find I'm short. I've dropped a few hundred baht stuffing changes in my pockets. What annoys me is I'm in line and someone is paying with I guess QR code, the system is slow or something what is worse is the amount is like 100 baht, I pull up at the gas station the Thais are using a QR code for 40 baht worth of gas I sit fuming but I play it cool like a Thai 555, whatever the reason the system is slow in clearing. Once I was at Tops it wouldn't clear she ended up running out to an ATM to get cash to pay this same thing happened at Chain Restaurant and waited 20 minutes for the guy in front to pay not sure how that one was resolved they started to write stuff down on paper.

Yet time is changing it is a matter of time for LBM.
