  How Thailand Bar Girls Select Customers     Introduction to Bar Girls and Customer Selection In Thailand, an intriguing aspect of the nightlife is the hidden scoring system that bar girls use to evaluate customers.  These girls often have a scoring system for their customers. This system is a way for them to prioritize potential patrons based on certain criteria, with the ultimate aim of finding a partner who could potentially take them out of their current situation. The higher a customer scores on their list, the more attention they receive. The scoring system is surprisingly straightforward. At the bottom of the list are foreigners who speak Thai. The girls assume these men are well-acquainted with Thailand and, thus less likely to spend generously. Conversely, a man who doesn't speak Thai dresses smartly in non-local attire, and shows no signs of prolonged sun exposure or familiarity with Thailand instantly ranks higher. This profile suggests a newcomer, potent...

Life in the UK compared to Thailand The biggest differences have to do with the seasons, climate and vibe.  When you live in Thailand it takes about two years to get used to the heat and humidity, Our house is South of Bangkok and averages 31 degrees over the year. In summer it rises to 45 degrees and in the rainy season, it drops to about 28 degrees. Living in that heat wears you down and changes the way you spend your days, going out early in the morning and dodging into air-con rooms mid-afternoon.  Here in the UK, it's totally different as the temperatures are completely different and range from -5 degrees in the Winter to 30 degrees in the Summer.  This leads me to the seasons and if I am honest whilst living in Thailand, I really missed the four seasons in the UK. Thailand really only has two, the Summer and rainy seasons. This is something you really need to consider if you are thinking about moving to Thailand. One thing that is really a huge difference and I felt...

Buy or Rent a Condo in Thailand? A question or type of question I get a lot by email on a regular basis, do I buy or rent and if I buy, what do I buy. Then can I own a property in Thailand? Rather than go into a long discussion just have a look at these videos that I made for our YouTube channel.  This video has had over 70,000 views and hundreds of comments.  Another great video but to my surprise only got 22,000 views. A must-watch if you are serious about buying or building in Thailand. The subject of buying or building in Thailand must be the biggest topic for a foreigner thinking of retiring to Thailand at first and then of course the topic soon turns to Visas but that is another post.
