Thailand FAQ

I’ve been meaning to do a Thailand FAQ for a long time. There are many questions visitors and expats alike have about Thailand and most visitors I’m sure end up using a TH FAQ before coming to LOS. I wanted to make one that’s useful and that combines not only my knowledge but other resources as well.

Thailand FAQ is a pool of information from a number of sites - and I’ll be adding to it over today and tomorrow as well. There are many subjects that deserve a whole FAQ for themselves. The Full Moon Party was one of them.

If you have written a FAQ about some part of Thailand - the culture, attractions, anything really - shoot me a link and let me see if it will fit with this Thailand FAQ collection.

Match the Bar Girl with Her REAL Boyfriend…

Thought I’d have a multiple choice question today…. It’s called, “Match the bar girl with her real boyfriend”…

a.) The guy that banged her last night for “short-time”

b.) The Thai guy that she gives money to every week so he can drink with his friends and not have to work (she really loves this guy from her heart)

c.) The guy she has a baby with in Isaan that her mother or sister is taking care of

d.) The guy she didn’t meet yet that’s gonna bang her tonight “short-time”

e.) The guy she took back to her village in Isaan 2 weeks ago that wanted to meet her family before they get married in 6 months

f.) The other guy sending 25,000 baht every month so she stays out of the bars because they are engaged

g.) The “tom” girl that she also gives money to and that she likes a lot, but is confused if it’s what she really wants

h.) One of the 57 other expats from around the world that routinely give her a go when they’re in town a couple times per year

Which one is the REAL boyfriend?

Which one are you?

I think my readers are too smart to fall for this one… or, they have already been here and seen the anti-bargirl and Pattaya expat rants and raves and go elsewhere for their humor.

Is there another type of Thai bar girl boyfriend I forgot?

Drunk Farang 6am Arguing with his Ladyboy Partner

This is great, I get to kill two posts today with this one story. A drunk farang was going on and on since 5 am. and finally I decided to at least get some audio (they were too far to get the video). This is a typical interaction in the tourist areas at this time of morning on a Sunday.

They were about 80 meters away and still it was quite clear… F you, F that, go now, go away, every night this, you go with this man, you go with that man, you go away…

jeez…

Entertaining, but I had to resist a few times from shouting out - SHUT THE HELL UP. This morning I was an understanding type person because I know we all have our problems… tomorrow if it happens again? Well, I’m never really sure about tomorrow…

This movie file is .wmv format and will work with Windows and some other programs. It’s 2.2Mb in size and mostly I took it for the audio so don’t criticize my 6am. video shooting skills with my sony 4mp camera!

Short Time Hotel in Bangkok

We (my girlfriend and I) had been seeing some temples and were pretty tired out. The trip around Bangkok by motorbike was something I’d rather not repeat too many times. Rush-hour is a bitch in sin city, though I think on a motorbike it’s much, much easier than in a car or truck.

We had sucked in traffic fumes for about 4 hours on this day and we got just on the outskirts of Bangkok when we started looking for a hotel. Everyone we asked in this city (Samut Sakon) kept directing us towards short-time hotels! Apparently that’s all they thought a farang with a Thai girl needed. We kept trying to explain that we wanted a clean, decent place that we could sleep in all night. We weren’t looking for a place to bang secretly, just eat and get some sleep!

Finally we paid a guy 40 baht to lead us to a hotel that he knew. He said it was about 500 baht per night. We said great. We followed him as he and his girlfriend rode the motorbike ahead of us. We pulled up to the entrance and this guy said - “Here it is!” (in Thai of course).

It looked like a short-time hotel to me - lots of curtains pulled in back of the parked cars and motorbikes so nobody could see, and maybe recognize the vehicles parked there.

We told the guy that led us to the place that we really DON’T want a dirty short-time hotel and that we needed a “regular” hotel. He insisted this one was clean and that it was a great hotel. We were so tired at that point that I decided we’d go have a look as I’d not been into a drive-in park your car behind the curtain type short-time hotel before.

Upon entering the guys that worked there were wai-ing us profusely. It was comical even - they wai’ed us until their heads went between their somewhat open stanced legs. It was bizarre. Later we realized they were doing that so they didn’t look at our faces and we’d feel comfortable coming in for some anonymous sex.

I told them we wanted the “Sweet” room, not the SUITE room like maybe it should have been named in English… they pointed us to the best place they had and I told them I wanted to stay until Noon the next day. They said, 620 baht. I thought this was very high - and so I thought I’d check out the room before we left.

I walked into the room and was FLOORED. It WAS nice. It was super clean - I found not one hair (of any sort) anywhere, not in the restroom, on the bed, on a table or chair - nowhere. It was VERY clean and the sheets were perfectly white and sanitary (so it seemed).

I looked around the room and was shocked to see… a HUGE TV - complete with 6 channels of varying porn movies… and some other non-porn channels… A California King Sized bed - or bigger… Mirrors everywhere… a SAUNA complete with barbeque cooker and rocks on top - to spoon some water over top of for steam… a 4 person tub… and a very tasteful glass wash basin with naked ladies all over it.

I couldn’t believe it!

I told the guy we’d take it. We ordered some food and sodas and when the guy brought them to me - I opened the door and he dropped his head down so he was staring at the ground - so he didn’t see who I was! Very funny the lengths they go to ensure anonymity because in the morning as we were leaving and they pulled back the curtain, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 8 WORKERS THAT WE SAW craned their necks to see who the farang was with - they all wanted the gossip to tell to the whole town.

Oh - there was a DANCING POLE in the middle of the room - placed strategically between the enormous bed and the 27 inch porno TV. I didn’t feel inspired to dance for the video but I did try a few moves and I’m not as smooth as I used to be…

Anyway, we had a great time shooting pictures and videos of everything. Parts of the video - the bathroom and the sauna were very dark - though it was midday sun when I shot the video. I lightened it up enough that you can see everything. The file is 20MB and a large download if you have a slow connection, but it’s worth it just to see the place.

The Thais’ REALLY have this side of the anonymous sex business down to a “T”. The level of attention to detail was pretty incredible and could be compared with a home that would go for 10 million baht here.

The place was doing a VERY good business for a Tuesday night. They told us they had 63 rooms available! That’s like 30,000 baht per night if they’re packing it in (so to speak)!

I took pics of the hourly rate price lists that you can see in the top right photo.

Ok - Download the Video and have a look what you can get in Thailand for a night of sex as interesting as you can make it. 620 baht is roughly $19 USD with the current exchange rate. Can you find this for $19 in the USA?

Someone MUST start some hotels like this, I think it would be big news.

Ok - enjoy the video and photos.

Crazy Bargirl Stories #1

I searched on bargirls and stickmanbangkok in Google and found a story that was pretty typical of a bad experience with bargirls.

Bargirls are not loyal to anyone - they flit like the wind. If wind is blowing cash out of one farang’s pocket and into her purse, then that’s where the loyalty for the night is going. It doesn’t matter WHICH pocket it’s coming from - whatever pocket holds the promise for the bigger wad of cash - gets the kitty so to speak.

This guy’s story is so typical because he found a hot girl (mistake number 1 if you’re looking for loyalty), and decided to hang out with her for the night. In the hot bargirl’s mind the decision was more for the next hour or so - to see what you could offer. She’s gotta evaluate you and see if you have the big wad or a non-wad. If you have a big one - and she can see that you’re gullible. She’ll hang out with you for a week or more. Maybe “up to you” if you’re really throwing cash her way.

Bargirls are worse than whores from back in the states - USA or wherever, because they stick around. If a bargirl finds an easy mark she’s going to hang around with him (you?) for a long time as long as you’re spoon-feeding her more cash than she could make hanging around a bar. In fact, that should be a serious clue for every farang monger coming to Thailand.

IF a bargirl or god help you, bargirls, are hanging around you and seem to LOVE to be around you and want you to take them everywhere you’re going - they are getting something out of the deal - that is BETTER than making just 1000-5000 baht per night at the bar… They might be getting your LOVE. When a farang falls for a bargirl and falls in LOVE - the money that flows is like the Amazon and Nile rivers… after all - WHAT IS MONEY when it comes to Love - right? For me - money is nothing anyway, whether for love or anything else - but for a guy that has never had love - to suddenly have this drop two bombs gorgeous girl hanging on his every move - and ignoring the studmuffs that are running around barfining 6 girls at a time - this guy FEELS it and is in love with the idea at first… and after she’s nice to him a few hours or few days - he is completely HOOKED. Like a FAT, BALD, SMOKING, Singha drinking TROUT.

100’s” of Thai Ladyboy Photos-Videos here >

Once he’s hooked - he’s a puppet for whatever she wants. The bargirl has the collective wisdom of 65 million years of bargirl experience that has been handed down mouth to mouth and SMS to SMS. The bargirls have more wisdom to part you with your money than you have wits to keep it. Falling in love is the most critical and fatal mistake you’ll ever make with a bargirl because a bargirl’s stupid requests for money will start to seem almost “ok”. You’ll start to rationalize giving your bargirl whore money for a motorbike, a car, a truck for the family, 20,000 baht per month while you’re away so she doesn’t have to work at a bar and fark for cash. You’ll start to think - hey, this is a good deal… and all the while, over the weeks, months or years, she’s sucking your accounts dry… not to mention YOUR MIND!

A bargirl can use emotion like an artist uses fine paint brushes. The canvas is your mind. She’s making Picasso, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh look like finger-painters. She’s building up trust, and giving you emotional tidbits that keep you satiated for a time - and then she makes a tiny request - which you can’t deny her - after all she loves you with all her heart and she’s like a little kitten you want to take care of…

All while it’s part of her art. She’s painting masterpieces on your cranium… the alcohol based paint seeping into the skin, slowly at first, then literally pouring inside your skull through ears and eyes and the rest of your orifices…affecting brain chemistry, thoughts, common-sense, logic, sanity.

Endorphins? That’s NOTHING! A bargirl’s crafty brush strokes will make you feel so much better! You’ll sometimes OFFER her money first because you hate the look in her eyes when she “must ask for something”.
You’re little kitty is making the other cats FAT back in the village - and you’ll never know half of where your cash went.

Bargirls want cash. They might need cash for their kids at home that you’ll never see. Bargirls might need cash for their families that make noises when they need money like a sucking chest wound. Bargirls might need cash for drugs for themselves or one of their Thai pimps/boyfriends - that KNOW she’s farking half of Bangkok - but it’s OK because she’s supporting their dumbazzes. A bargirl might be giving her money to another girl - yeah, a “Tom”. Toms are the Thai girls that dress like guys and prey on the pretty girls that have money so they can support them - doing whatever - the Toms don’t care. Much like the Thai guys that leech off the girls and provide support for their whole existence.

Bargirls that you fall in love with - WILL get your money. They’ll convince you to give it to them, or they’ll steal it or enable someone else to steal it.

I read a story about a guy that had his wallet and 20,000+ baht stolen on the last day that he was in Thailand - two stories like this in fact, and the guy was clueless… Let me tell you - SUSPECT your bargirl girlfriend.

It’s no different than the soup lady trying to charge me 5 extra baht or the Kowl Chee lady trying to charge me 2 extra baht for food because I’m farang. Their mindset is, “He can afford it, he’s rich”. To the bargirl you can afford it. If you’re not GIVING it - you can still afford it and you’re not being fair to her - she will feel justified in TAKING it - or enabling her friends to take it.

Bargirls are hell, pure and simple. Have your fun and don’t look back. CERTAINLY don’t invite them anywhere for a day, a couple days… Those couple days will cost you more long-term than any bad investment you could possibly make.

: Bargirls are NOT long-term fun.

Thailand’s Bargirls After?

Some guys start to get it after a while - maybe 6 trips or
so to Thailand, aka “Land of Smiles”. Some guys never
really get it… and they end up marrying a bargirl.

Bargirls are after one thing that you have, and it’s not
those cute dimples either, Skippy. It’s your cash. If you
have cash - you’re desireable. If not, you’re ignored.
See how the older guys with the least desirable looks
are the most sought after at the bar? Do you think the
girls are looking for LOVE or for something else?

Do you think a 25 year old Chinese-Thai girl from
Ubon that is college educated, has a good family and
job at her sister’s law firm would meet a fat train
engineer from Kentucky who is 60+ years old, fat,
smokes and drinks WAY too much, and pushes
her around when he comes to visit her in Ubon at
her family’s home is looking for LOVE IN
AMERICA when she agrees to marry him and
go with him there?

100’s” of Thai Ladyboy Photos-Videos here >

HA! Even this girl is not looking for love… she is
playing the game like the bargirls do - but not
NEARLY as good as they do. I know this girl
personally she is SO gorgeous, she has multiple
“Gigs” that she can meet with in Bangkok, Ubon,
Laos, and Malaysia. She was getting about
20,000b per MONTH from this guy in
Kentucky that was a real horrorshow. This guy
was a nutcase. He wanted her to come stay with
him on the farm! He processed her paperwork
and she was all ready to go when I met her.

I talked to her about this clown, and figured out that
he was about the WORST catch she could possibly
find on the internet. The guy had money - and she
overlooked EVERYTHING ELSE!

This is a girl that HAD A LIFE here in Thailand,
but the desire to see America and to be able to go
get her Master’s degree there was so high on her
list of priorities that she was actually GOING
to do it.

I talked her out of it.

The guy raised holy hell with her - but she
stayed firm on her plan to not go after I talked
with her.

He still hounds her.

So, this is a decent girl…

A bargirl has less to give up here, so she’ll
be more ready to go.

17 Clues that the girl you call "Princess" IS or WAS a whore

This article I think is appropriate since there are so many guys that come here to Thailand and meet someone that they think is the answer to either their prayers… or to their sleepness nights with their hand under the sheets. The girl is really a whore - and the guy is clueless.

Now, for the guys that don’t care - ok, no worries - whatever you want for yourself - whatever is OK for yourself - is great. Have fun. Don’t read this until after you and the whore break up and then read this for when you want to find a decent girl next time or the time after that - or when you have a friend that needs some help, not for you…

This list of clues to knowing if you have found a good girl or one that is now or was in the past - not a good girl. It shouldn’t need to be said that if you found your girl in a bar of ANY sort that you shouldn’t be reading this list… you know from whence she came and you don’t need to read this list of clues to see if maybe she might have SOME redeeming qualities OTHER than she she was found in a bar.

Likewise, there are some Geographical AREAS that one could say - anyone that came from that AREA is, or was a whore. Patpong, Pattaya, and Phuket are 3 areas that come to mind. There ARE girls that are good girls there - don’t get me wrong, but the chances that you found the 1 out of 175 to be YOUR girlfriend - are - just that, 1 in 175.

Don’t brush these off because your honey-muffin told you she did something different with her life. Thai bargirls will make up EVERY story possible to get you to believe that she wasn’t a whore. Few of these in the clues list are so right on that if she is guilty of it - then she IS or WAS a whore without question. However, if your little tinsel toes trips more than one of these - just accept the fact… she’s a WHORE…

- She is familiar with one of the pay-for-play areas in Thailand. If she KNOWS the areas - she is or was a whore. If she can show you around Pattaya or Patong - and shows you around to all the touristy spots chances are great she didn’t work there as a travel guide.

- She wears a lot of makeup. In Thailand the good girls don’t wear makeup. The Thai guys obviously don’t care about it - or the entire country would be wearing makeup. The only reason a girl would be wearing a lot of makeup is if: She is from another country. She is in the fashion industry - a model, actress, or someone in high-so (high society). Or, she is used to wearing it because she knows how to look good for the tourists who come to Thailand. If it’s the 3rd one, she’s a freelance or a f/t whore.

- She isn’t shy about patting your azz in public, holding hands, and kissing you - even on the cheek. Good Thai girls don’t DO THIS. This should be a major flag.

- She has had a baby, but the baby is not with her… A large percentage of girls that work in the pay-for-play industry have had children that they’ve left with their mothers, aunts or other relatives - so they can work unencumbered. A Thai woman loves her kids a lot. Those that are not WITH them are not with them for a reason. If the mom worked a restaurant - she could have the kid with her wherever she was. If the mom was working as a whore - it’s not a good atmosphere for the kid and she knows it - and won’t expose the kid to it.

100’s” of Thai Ladyboy Photos-Videos here >

- Your girl isn’t a virgin. This is a pretty good clue actually. In Thai society - a girl that is not a virgin gets no dowry and probably gets no decent husband either. A girl that loses her virginity had better marry the guy. If she does not - then she is spoiled goods and the Thai guys won’t marry her. They will almost NEVER marry a girl that has been married and has a child. They have a severe loss of face for this - to be raising someone else’s child. There are exceptions - but, I’d say this is a BIG CLUE.

- All the girl can think about and talk about - the only thing that she seems to be passionate about, is money and what she wants that costs more money. Good Thai girls don’t MENTION money. It’s not something that is on their mind and they are not obsessed by it. Girls that are obsessed by it will do things to get more money. What does a girl with no skills, no university education and working in a restaurant do for money? I’ve seen so many girls that are freelance whores - they just go with guys they like for a dinner or movie or whatever - maybe straight to their room - just because they need an extra 500 - 1000 baht to get the latest phone or clothes or whatever. To me - this is a major flag - and I avoid ALL girls that are focused on money. To live in Thailand all a girl needs is 5000 baht per month to be happy. They eat and stay very cheaply. I’ve seen it. I’ve also seen those that weren’t happy with that kind of money - offer me sexz for cash.

- If she has friends IN Pattaya, Patong, or Patpong and she’s keeping in close contact with them - she is or was or may turn out to be a whore if the relationship with you doesn’t work.

- If she has tattoos - she worked in the pay for play industry in SOME fashion. Whether she worked in a bar, as a masseuse, danced with poles (not polish people, metal poles), served drinks at a restaurant, worked in a fishbowl, or freelanced on the streets - the girl was almost definitely a whore. Add to this - if she has piercings beside her earrings - she was or is a whore. If she has her tongue pierced she was or is 100% without fail, a whore. If her nose is pierced - not 100% but north of 95% I’d say.

- If she goes to another place to talk on the cellphone then she is hiding something. It should make you wonder. The girls that have nothing to hide - have nothing to hide. If she’s hiding something - it’s another man or husband. Many girls in the “industry” are married with Thai guys and send them money - maybe YOUR money to support them. It’s what they do for love… !

- Her English is pretty good. She understands anything that has to do with money or a bar or restaurant situation. She may joke to you about “short time, love you long time, no money no honey…” and other typical bar-type jokes and ribbing that goes on. If she does these things - SHE WORKED IN THE INDUSTRY!

- She is not interested at all in taking care of you once you are in a relationship with her. She wants to watch TV all day and eat, and gossip with her friends. She wants to send out for laundry and eat out everyday. She doesn’t cook. She isn’t looking at you like you are a gift from heaven - which you are - you are making a farang salary - easily 4 times what any Thai guy is making… and you are supporting her with free rent, spending money, and going out to eat sometimes… whores and ex-whores want to really minimize WHAT they are doing from day to day. They’ll plead with you to go out to eat somewhere, complain that they don’t have what someone else has - different type of car, gold, vacations, computer, bigger TV, IPod, etc… they are never satisfied with what they have, and they don’t GIVE much in the way of effort to keeping the house, cooking or things like that. They are used to the bargirl lifestyle which is - eat out everyday and try to buy what everyone else has.

100’s” of Thai Ladyboy Photos-Videos here >

- She has a separate bank account. Sometimes she is tranferring money OUT to a Thai husband…. sometimes she is receiving money from one or a group of past customers (foreigners probably) when she was a f/t whore. Guys will continue to send money for a LONG time between visits. Girls will, of course, collect it as long as he’s sending it.

- If she is not reachable by phone sometimes - she is up to something. Not saying she’ s a whore, BUT, any Thai girl that can pick up a ringing cell phone while riding 70km per hour on the motorbike can pick a cell phone up ANYTIME unless there’s a sneaky reason why she won’t. The cell phone is a Thai girl’s entire existence… if she’s holed up with you living a boring life in the village - that phone is her link to sanity. If you are calling her and she’s not answering it - something is SERIOUSLY wrong with that picture… No doubt.

Well, that’s 12 - I’ll let other people come up with another 5, I’m pooped out… If you have any to add - comment them - and I’ll add them if I agree…

Smart Guys with Bargirls as Girlfriends…

Yeah, I met this girl in a bar in Pattaya (insert any destination in Thailand) and I really fell for her… she doesn’t fit the mold of the usual bargirl… this one is different… let me tell you why….

JESUS GDAMD H. If I read or hear one more of these stupid *#(&%)@ articles about this… I’ll slit myself wide open a piece of farang (guava) and eat it with salt.

On Stickman is another one of these articles by “WildRover” and it just gave me the pissed off attitude I need to express it here. It has been building up.

Wild Rover Wild Rover, you’re getting fUKtongEd over,
you CAN’T take the whore out of a whore, now,
it’s my turn to BEND YOU OVER.

I gotta wonder about the state of the guys that are writing these articles. I’m guessing them to be no better off in their home country than a bargirl is here. WHO can come to this country… find a whore in a bar… and fall in love with her… and then rationalize that she CHANGED! How does a girl get the whore OUT of her after doing it? How? Someone please tell me!

It’s not just guys that I’m reading on Stick’s site either - it’s teachers I’m working with - that supposedly have a bachelor’s degree - one guy from America, one from England. They both seem like bright guys. They are both calling whores their girlfriends! One guy told me that he hadn’t had much success with girls back in the states - he picked the “wrong girls”… yeah, well man, open your eyes and look at what you got now! You’re WORSE off - you’re dating a whore now! Did you date WHORES in the states?

He met this girl in Patong at a bar… and now he’s calling her his girlfriend. She comes to stay with him sometimes - a 3 hour bus trip… or he goes down there where he stays with her. She’s ugly as all hell, smokes - he doesn’t… he’s into fitness. She is 30ish… bad bargirl tattoos all over her, bad hair…

He MIGHT be 32? Nothing adds up except he’s right - he picks the wrong girls.

This guy on stick this morning that I read the first 3 paragraphs of… met this girl in a bar - she was being barfined. He KNOWS she’s a whore. He falls in love with her anyway - she’s different… doesn’t fit the mold! haha! holy shit - what mold are you talking about?

WildRover says, ” I met A in Renoir on November 18th 2005, at about 10pm. She was with another guy (big fat, drunk English guy) and he had bar fined her so, through her friend I said I would come back tomorrow, because she was just beautiful – skinny, dark Isaan girl, captivating smile – the usual.”

and, ” I found out later that while I was in China she went with another customer (she had to work after all), an Australian, for two nights and he was going to Jakarta for two nights then back to Bangkok, when he promised he would take her to Hua Hin.”

Jesus - I had to stop shortly after because from this point he was going to tell me how she was different and didn’t fit the “pattern”.

wait - holy hell - he started sending her money immediately! 25000 baht per month! hahahha! listen to this…

” After two weeks together I told her I didn’t want her to go back to work in the bars. I was still cautious, because she had many stories about her previous Farang boyfriends. She said she had never been with a Thai boyfriend since she was 16. I asked her how much she needed to stay out of the bars and she would not answer. I asked if BHT15,000 would be enough (my first time at this!). She said yes, but when I pushed a bit about her actual living costs I figured this would just cover the basics, so settled on BHT25,000 per month. Later, after about another three months, she told me her previous BF was giving her 60,000 a month. My silent reaction was – “sucker”, but then I did the numbers and figured that if she worked 20 nights a month and did customers 15 nights a month, and got a reasonable THB2,500 a night she could easily have made this much when you added in the drink commissions from the bar. However, she was still happy with BHT25,000 (and still is to this day) and has never asked me for more.”

UGGHHHHH*#**#*#**#~! Yeah, girls working in a restaurant make 4000 baht per month! She’s got enough to save $500 USD per month. When he went back to her village he said the family treated him with a lot of respect! hahaha! yeah, he just bought them a car and 14 bat gold chains! I’d kiss your feet ANYTIME you visited me. Respect out of financing me goes a long way… behind your back they’re laughing their browneyes black.

So - in my own humbly expressed opinion, this poor sap is going down a losing path.

What is stickman’s comment to this guy…? “From the sound of it she has most likely left the bar scene, so any check would be to verify the existence of boyfriends outside of the bar scene. Due to the sporadic nature of travels by many Western guys to and from Thailand, this can be more difficult to determine.

But overall, it sounds like she is on the straight and narrow.”

WHAT??? Am I THE ONE nuts here? On the straight and narrow what? Lines of coke?

I can’t believe he didn’t tell the guy to run with his money into Isaan and find a girl that is worthy of giving money to stay chaste.

So, that’s what I’m telling him.

Please, for the love of YOURSELF… save your money… spend it on a trip to the northeast sometime. Meet a girl in a mall that has something going for her… whether that’s college, a job, or nothing at all… she might have NOTHING going for her - except you… and send her 10000 baht per month which is MORE than girls with no skills make even in Bangkok, and be much happier and have fewer games. Maybe you’ll still have games, maybe not… but you won’t be dealing with issues of a girl that recently dropped out of the bar scene because you gave her money to do it…

signed,

frustrated as all hell

(PS: Yep, I fell for one too when I first got here - hence the anger behind this rant. I vowed to help make other farang smarter because of it… Hahaha - like I’m so well-intentioned now… hahah… anyway - that’s the reason for the tone of this post…)
