Excellent guidelines, wish i had read these a few years ago.
But...on contemplation do i. I,ve made all the stupid mistakes here you can think of and more, but for me the fun was in the "learning". After 10 years visiting Pattaya i,m still learning but i,m not daft anymore, I still love Pattaya and what it has to offer but now i find i,m more on my guard and very cynical of all i meet be it Thai or Falang, its sort of lost that 3D/ HD effect it once had on me.
I actually used to believe they "lubbed me" and missed me, so the highs were real for me, i actually felt some kind of love/lust whatever it is, and the lows /jealousy/arguments were like a left hook in the ribs.
The big ladyboys spitting venom in my face pretending to call someone to kill me made me crap myself, I paced my balcony all night really thinking some Thai guys were coming to kick my door down. Now i know its all a bluff i,m not scared but also the experience is now a little numb maybe compared to those early days.The time i had to call 2 mates to help me evict a ladyboy cause she was"bigger than me". My mates still rip the piss out of me about it , i chuckle about it too.
Buying loads of gogo girls drinks ,all round me like flies round shit because i thought i was Jaidee , aaaah.
So some great points here and i,m glad i,ve read what i mostly know now but its refreshed my memory. Like the one about me being the Boss not the Customer, cant wait to tell them that one tonight. But no I,m glad i never saw this 10 years or even 5 years ago because for me personally i loved learning the hard way and all i ever lost was a little money ,nothing to cry about. All that ever got hurt was my pride by that whack over the head with a handbag, delivered in a crazy American "drive-by on the back of a moped" stylee!!
Rock on
