Farangs be aware !!!!

Latest from this weeks Stickman column.....Farangs be aware !!!!!!!

Money hunger in the provinces.

My wife recently visited a temple near Surin last week to pray / meditate for several hours. During the 4 hours she spent in the temple, she told me that while she was there she met about 6 different girls who were on the game. They freely shared their stories with each other and even with some of the monks over the course of several hours. It seemed that three of the girls were currently employed at various bars in and about Bangkok. The other three had worked in Bangkok but were now set up in various businesses in Surin and Buriram. They reveled in comparing their multiple boyfriends, each trying to top the others' achievements. The three who were still working had gone to the wat to try to get additional blessings by the monk in order to increase their income! They weren't looking for short-time / long-time income, but rather looking on how to get more farangs to send them money from abroad after the farangs left Bangkok. The girls resident up-country each bragged that they had at least 2 - 3 farangs who each sent them 20,000 - 30,000 baht a month routinely. Both girls had hairdresser shops that were sponsored by various sponsors. The prize went to one girl who bragged that she had four men who each sent her about 30,000 baht a month. One of the men set her up in an internet cafe business to the tune of a 300,000 baht up front investment and additionally kicked in 30k+ baht a month to keep her happy. Her other sponsors also provided money to start up the business, all thinking they were the sole investor. Yet another sponsor bought her a small sedan. Even so, this girl was not happy and felt that she deserved even more, and was using her business to meet additional men online. The other girls there were green with envy. We routinely drive by her internet shop in the local town. From the looks of it, if the business is doing more than 500 baht (internet charges here average about 10 baht an hour) of business a day I would be amazed. Coupled with rents of 3,000 baht and electricity, another 1 - 2,000 baht a month, she is making next to nothing and very bored having to be there 10 - 12 hours a day six or seven days a week. None of the girls my wife spoke with were interested in getting married or having a serious relationship with ANY of the men who were providing them support. All the girls made comments to the effect that they were 'milking the farangs like cows'. Guys please pay attention. Things like this hurt us decent guys upcountry and we get lumped in with the above suckers just by being a farang.

Anyone with a bit of sense who has been here is aware of what goes on but as long as men continue to have d@cks between their legs and more money than sense there will always be some suckered in by these minxes.

Had a girl here the other night when one of her "boyfriends" from Sweden phoned. She got me to switch the TV channel to a Thai one so he would hear Thai in the background because as far as he was aware she was supposed to be in Issan waiting for him to come on his next trip!

Cool Another sucker every day

This is quite believable.When i used to use one of the smaller Internet Cafes near C&N hotel is was quite common to sit beside a BG who opened her in box and had multiple messages from multiple nations.

The old game of keeping the sponsors apart and unaware is alive and kicking.I always found it funny when a BG got it wrong and two sponsors overlapped.

The Thai solution is to have a "family emergency" and disappear from the bar for a few weeks - sometimes taking one sponsor with her to another island.

hmmm, those I-Cafe costs / income sound familiar .....

i'd better talk to teerak, have an extraordinary shareholders meeting of our company and discuss if she wants I inject some more capital on an advertising and marketing campaign , try and boost the income level as i'm sure we can't cut costs

maybe i spend 1,000 euros .. as thats the flight costs from farangland to Isaan, better to invest in my teerak than me to travel, only a little money for me, same cost as having a p*ss up at the weekend with the lads.... ehhhh


duh , idiots....

this happens everywhere around the world...so whats new if it happens in thailand. ""it might work out cheaper". this happens to men and women in all countries. men get married and get taken for half their wealth. rich old widows get taken in get married and then killed for more (watch americas most wanted ). there are movies with story lines based on this as a guideline for armatures for notes.

sorry to say there are fools that are willing to give and there wolves that plan to take. some fools will even get angry when told as love makes people blind.

Nothing new here.....

Mind you, the figures they quoted were inflated. When BG's get together for a chat you can guarantee lies and exageration are the order of the day.

Not exactly new revelations. If these muppets are stupid enough to do this good luck to the girls- why should they not look a gift horse in the mouth. These guys are completely gullible if they believe someone half their age lub them for their good looks and not their wallet. I've had BGs staying long term with falangs in patong (no BMs btw!!) come up for an afternoon shag gratis before coz he not giving them a good shafting. Do I feel guilty Do I F**k! This is an industry not lub and the sooner these biffs realised it the better- not that it would change anything. Dad driving a new pickup and son lying around scratching his ass while little sister works her **** off. There's a certain lady in Patong known to a few BMs- she just bought a new pick up and at the rate she works will have paid it off inside 6 months. Good Luck to her as well.

Another true story, a friend of mine who owns a little ressort in Isaan told me the other day that he is organizing a wedding in his ressort for a guy from Finland and a girl from a close village. They met in Pattaya. The guy is coming in a few weeks for the wedding, meanwhile the girl is still working in Pattaya because she has 2 other sponsors and one of them is in Pattaya at the moment. She is also married to a Thai man who works as a mason in my friend's ressort and told him he is so happy because the guy from Finland has to buy a new car and a house for her family and he is going to keep the car for him !!! The girl is leaving to Finland after the wedding when her visa will be ready !!! What a MESS !!! poor poor guy

I can't understand why you or your friend don't tell him, surely neither of you will enjoy watching somebody ruining their life?

There has been spoken about this problem before, F2H mentionned it. How about his friend having to live there and running the risk of being (bodily) harmed if it was known who brought it in the open?

Iam currently involved with a girl i met on my last trip to Patong she is great and her sms messages are so loving, iam just waiting for the crunch txt which may or may not come but i love the game! i find it exciting to see how or if they will scam you. I have no objection to spending a few quid on these girls if they are good fun. My X girlfriend in Leeds Skanked me for £5,000 so a few hundred for a good time over a holiday is ok in my book. I cant get to grips with the Numpties who send £300 per month every month but there are more idiots than you think out there! by the way this idiot has helped pay for motorbike repair, but god she was worth every penny of the rebuild but i put a halt at the gold plated petrol tank. I knew i was being had and she knew i knew and it cost me very little relatively speaking, it was all part of the game! I just love it! 55555555555.

Understand that, but, if it's good enough for general forum chuckles then it's worth "someome" telling the bloke.

Cannot , ever, understand someone getting their jollies from someone else's misfortune.

My two cents is (from the point of view of the resort owner) who is this Finn guy to me that I should risk ending up face down in an irrigation ditch with my head caved in (standard farang suicide) for trying to tell him something that he won’t believe....I doubt the resort owner approves but reality is he can do nothing about it.

I'd add that IMHO there is probably a say 25% chance that the woman, once she sees all that can be hers by staying married to the Finn may simply forget the Thai husband and stay with the new life....silence might be the best option in the long run....if I were the resort owner that's what I'd tell myself anyway...Enjoy.

I don't know this Finn guy nor does my firend know him, he only knows the Thai girl and her family. He has been living in LOS for over 20 years so I guess he knows how to handle this situation. Not my intention to make any fun of the guy I just relate the facts as they are !

But you have made fun of the guy ....

Learnt much from this thread, which water project not to donate to ....

Still cannot imagime why anyone with a shred of decency wouldn't give another bloke a "heads up".

I've met too many guys who've been screwed over for pensions or savings to have a 'reasonable' view on this so will bow out now ......

Having been in this situation a few times...

Why would I help the Finn guy at the expense of the Thai girl ?? Because we are both white farangs ?? So I should help a stranger who I dont know, who probably doesnt want to hear it, and may not believe it anyway, at the expense of someone I do know, that lives close to me, that I see every day / often ??

Believe me, having told some people I will never again do so unless they are a close friend.. Then its mates of course. Strangers can make thier own life choices.
