It's not all about money everywhere though is it? I also have been to many places, usually the most frequented by tourists where it stands to reason that most people who approach you are on the make. Understandable but fkg annoying. I prefer places where it isn't "ALL about money"

@Baz *******

Pattaya is not, as many people think, a snapshot of the whole country.

@Terry *******

We must move in different circles Terry.

@John ******

Have you not been around enough to realise the old "sick buffalo" cliches are part of the bar girl game? Generally it's the bloke's with their knobs out that get asked for the hand out. I noticed you only refer to "girls" with their hand out , 😉

@John ******

Indonesia will wear you down as it did me. People always have their hands out for "a loan" which NEVER comes back. Lying is the norm. Beautiful country but shit poor and many people have an air of defeat.

@Peter ******

Stop dribbling shit man. You are showing yourself to be the idiotic Pattaya bar stool sad case that you are judging people on who they are or are not in a relationship with. Grow up you fkg dick.

@Peter ******

You mate are the peanut that made the statement "Thailand is a man's world". That was the irrelevant drivel. Ciao.

@Peter ******

I won't give that stupid remark the time of day pal. But we can discuss the other inanity that Thailand is a "man's world" if you wish. Outside of the sad world you frequent in "Good ol' Patts" there is a great deal more equality traditionally than there is/was historically in Western nations. Plenty of women climbing electrical poles, and working in roles that were in the past reserved for men where we come from. Women in Thailand run the show at home, manage the money etc unless the man is a no hoper. You stay with your Pattaya "man's world" and try not to talk too much shit about things you don't know about in the real world.

@Peter ******

Ever left Pattaya?

@Charlie ****

I don't think that at all. I bring up two female children, and my mother in law is at our house more often than not so it is only the one eyed dog and myself who are male. I work away and all but my beer money and minor expenses is sent home weekly for my wife to save and look after the house and family, not limited to the immediate household (Thai style) which she does very well and she is never questioned by me. I have no interest in expenses as I have a wife to look after that. I bought into a Thai life and that's what I do. Hardly misogynistic is it? There are plenty of white "working girls" in Pattaya. Extremely expensive I hear. I have as much interest in that business though as you have. That place just saddens. I hope the lady in question can actually fulfill her dreams, and if as you say you came to Thailand on your own, with kids and only a rudimentary knowledge of the country and made a success of it anything is possible. Maybe with your help dreams can come true but it's a big ask.
