Best idea I’ve heard so far with respect to going out Hit up a happy ending massage before going out It will save you lots of pain, and you will better be able to continue control the situation
Great, practical video! The bit about choosing the girl who chooses you is the best advise ever. I figured that out back when I was 16 going to Tijuana on weekends, but for many guys it just doesn't compute even after years of partaking. As for keeping seperate stashes of cash, there is no better clothing item than pick pocket proof pants. It's just too easy to get pick pocketed when they start rubbing up on you unless you have zippered or hidden pockets. That company would actually be a perfect sponsor for you if you're looking. Thanks you for the great content!
I used to think Daz some of these videos were repetitive, but then I realized just how many people still don't know how or where to research, and sometimes the message has to be repeated before it sinks in with a lot of folks (sadly). So....well done....again! 😄
Very true! Without refreshing the vids from time to time, they age off. Not many would be interested in year old info. Hence repeat and refresh keeps it at the top of the date list and many more folks will hopefully take notice. Daz, you do a good stuff as always and thank you!
as a friend living in pattaya +20 years always says.. Take a happy ending massage before u go out and drink and party..it will save you alot of money and problems and grief 555
^^^^ either that or go to ThaiFriendly and find a cute lady who just wants a modest amount for an hour of fun and do that before heading out for a night of drinking/partying. In either case it definitely saves money and problems.
@@clrodrick taking any lady to your condo or hotelroom is always a risk and more so if its a random freelancer from thaifriendly..AND its hard to get a nice oily body to body "massage" in a hotel bed...555
1 day rule! definitely a rule that I follow - and need to! You're comment about picking the girl that picks you is also super relevant. I made this mistake VERY recently. You do need and certainly can have a bit of rapport with the girl. It makes all the difference.
Have a great time mate but trust his advice the bar girls will rape you if you fall for them I've been going to Pattaya since 2015 and 15 trips later I have only been raped once. Keep an eye on your bin because mistakes can be made and can't be rectified later otherwise soi 9 police station you definitely won't get any help from the police they will always back the Thai over this situation.
I have lived here in Thailand for 6 months. What he is telling you is solid advice. Especially about three CLEAN money. Don't have ANY writing on it. None. They will likely still exchange it, but at a lower rate.
2500baht was more then enough for me to go out on walking street,treetown or Soi 6 and have a good time. I’ve a SOLO traveler bought a few lady drinks but not many. Of course I didn’t bar fine any girls for that amount but that was never my intent. Just drink, bar hopped, met a few ladies and hit a vendor selling amazing food or 7-11. Obviously if you wanna bar fine bring a bit more. Test the waters go out with 1,000baht and go out with maybe 10,000baht see what it gets you based on what you’re trying to do.
Good advice Daz and I hope they listen for their sake. The amount of sponsors and foolish guys trying to date in Pattaya, I seen last year, made my stomach feel ill.
I prefer the GC over bars anyway. More relaxing and more privacy. Nice park Daz! Reminded me of Descanso Gardens in Southern California. That is an Arboretum with Koi ponds just like the park you are walking in. You forgot to mention the most important advice for new guests. Do Not Ring the Bell! That is another way to lose a lot of money in a very short time.😅
My advice: Never drink too much, know your limit. Don't overpay to impress the girls, you'll be ruining it for the rest of us. And above all else, don't fall in love with a bargirl, it will be your ruin.
The biggest danger in Pattaya are ex pats who have run out of money. There are so many two faced farang. Never ever lend money to a farang with a hard luck story. Biggest threat to your money. I was stung by the now manager of Angels ago go. Beware
30years of travel to Asia never had anything go missing from the safe in the room yeah cash is king next trip I will buy less lady drinks I could have saved a few dollars there and I didn't ring the bell 🛎 so happy about that 😊
@@ScooterOnHisWay2024 I was at a bar on soi chaiyapoon that had only three girls (usually more, but low season and slow), rang the bell, and it cost me 8 drinks - 3 girls I expected, but the bar owner, cashier, someone in the back, and I think two rodents who were demised but not pulled out of the traps yet.
The best advice her was the last one regarding choosing the right girl who invites you with her eyes at the bar and not going for the stunner who returns to looking at her phone on seeing you. This also works for choosing a girl in the Massage shops as you will usually get a fantastic experience. The worst advice is the 3 day rule which you even reduced to just 1 day! I could write an essay on how wrong that is. I’ve had quite a bit of experience in Pattaya and next week I again arrive for a 5 week stay. This is my 3rd trip in 12 months. There are so many advantages in seeing a girl for more than 3 days and it works for me. One of them could be having your most mind blowing sex ever. Disadvantage of changing girls more frequently than you change your underwear is how expensive it is, more chances of starfish experience, increased risk of catching infections . The simple rule with the women is just keep your senses and never fall in love initially especially if you are an ATM to her.
Yes choose a girl that shows interest in you and good banter I agree it is way better seeing her more than once can form a great friendship and better bedroom fun as long as you do not take it too seriously - use a Rotation
Not in Pattaya , but bkk I’ve had lots of good times with some massage shop ladies, if they like you , can see on day off or before / after work ..,with no b/f or silly prices 😅
Your money advice gives noobs in ten minutes what cost me 10 years of experience. I would add: figure out how to carry 10 baht coins (I use a cheap, 300 yen store coin purse) and ask the money changers for small change to replenish, as needed, when you you visit their kiosks. I usually like to have 20-30 10 baht coins and it surprises me how quickly they go when taking the baht bus 4-5 times a night. Also, it's not a bad idea to collect some 50 baht notes for small purchases since a vendor might not have much change, although that seems to b getting better (Grab rides in cars seem to run 40-80 baht, bbq chicken is 40-60 baht etc.). The 7-11's don't seem to have problems with the 1000 baht notes ($35 USD) but other places might. Finally, on bar nights I like to have 2000 baht in 100 baht notes, which I keep exclusively in my "tips" pocket for general tips to bar maids, mamasan, security (the last two usually on the way out, unless I had to ask a question). Divide them into folded over groups of 5 bills each so you never pull out a fat wad. Finally, not exactly paper money management, but I always pay for each round of drinks when they come, since I want to spot if girls are ordering drink combos that are charged as two drinks instead of one - usually a shot with soda or soft drink on the side, or if their friends are badgering them to sneak a drink for them on the tab). The other option is to check each receipt, but then we cynical ones can wonder if extra receipts get added in when the dice cup goes up to the counter, or if the girl is really adding up all those little slips of paper correctly plus, it's dark in most bars and the check bin can b hard to make out. A really good night can be as little as $100 if you select one lady and don't run a big drink tab with her, but $300 USD if you liven up the party (the hostesses live for drink commissions and appreciate 100 baht - $3 - tips; also, the girls make friends with other girls and try to look out for each other by pushing you to buy drinks for select friends). Remember the bars are not broth els; there are s0apy massage for that, and in some ways it's better to bifurcate bar flirting from the works at a so apy; I've seen friends marry bar girsl, but not one even takes soopy girls out. Think of most bars as places where the hostesses will "date for pay" if there is some chemistry, and hope for return visits on future vacations or even the grail, a sponsorship. Don't take the prettiest but most aloof lady. Take the charming one. You might find now have a helper, companion, tour guide, friend, and someone you could genuinely like. It's up to you to decide whether it's no strings attached or add to your rotation.
I came for first time in February, I brought a girl and her friend back to my hotel from soi 6, her friend tried to take a packet of cigarettes, I said something and showed I was not happy, at the time the cigarettes did not turn up but the girl I bar fined bought me a packet of cigarettes to replace them, day or two later I found them under my razors in bathroom! Put everything in safe guys no matter how small it saves the hassle
If you live a quiet life 'back home' nothing will prepare you for the full on experience of Pattaya. The jet lag, the heat, the noise, the street level pollution, the funny money, no card payments, the traffic chaos, the petty scams, the sex crazed girls, the sex crazed ladyboys, the endless bars, the dodgy food, getting lost etc etc. Once you get over all of that and you will have a truly unforgettable experience! 🤣
@@crazyg74 Yep. It can be overwhelming. I have been around a bit as they say but that was a fair while ago and Soi B/LK Metro etc hit me like a brick initially. Ride the wave and come back stronger next time! 👍
@@Explorer766 Make sure you do. Just stay where you feel comfortable and give the out of town Gentleman's Clubs a visit to ease yourself into things.... literally 🤣
@@davidbrown4271 yes back in the day you only needed 4 or 5 now you probably need 8-10 he's probably not far off thank God I was going early 2003 till 2010 it was cheap long time 1000 baht and you had to tell them to leave
@@davidbrown4271 best advice is a happy massage..cheap and good..looking for "girlfriends" can be pretty expensive..know guys that pay their "girlfriends" 50000 baht a month + condo, food clothes and presents.. Thailand isnt not a low income cheap paradise with "desperate ladys" anymore its a middle income industrial country nowadays with high education and low poverty rate
My buddy just made the huge mistake met the first girl on thai friendly when he landed and took her on 10 days island tour:( he said after the first day he realized he made a mistake - she was glued to her phone and asking him to buy her stuff all the time including meals
I wouldn't suggest a Swede to bring cash right now since the exchange rate for SEK is terrible (2.30 today when I looked and in an atm you atleast get 3.10) Hopefully the SEK can recover a bit atleast :)
Yes very true, I was at coconut bar aka Beach road the one's that want my attention looks at me while I'm talking to her but the one's that don't want my attention just look at me a few seconds and then stared back at her phone
Great video Daz but not sure I agree with carrying cash. I'm there next month and always use Wise. ATM fees cost around 6000b but on 330,000 I'd rather lose 6000 to fees and know I don't have hundreds of thousands of baht in a safe that in theory could be accessed. Anyways my 2 cents
Great Advice :) I might add that getting a Charles Schwab brokerage account only initially costs $100 USD to set up. You can then fund it accordingly and they reimburse 100% of your ATM fees worldwide. No need to carry large amounts of USD to Pattaya as you can withdraw 30K Baht daily. Also Capital One cards as well as others carry no foreign transaction fees and many places will accept such as Hospitals, Dr and Dentist offices, Shopping Malls and many restaurants and even some clubs. Learn to say NO !!! Remember some of these ladies make more money than you do :) Enjoy Paradise
Some banks like Bank of America also will waive all internatinoal ATM fees for debit cash withdraws if one has a high enough wealth stored at the bank/brokerage.
exactly what i did. brought 4000 euros and kept it all in a safe, exchanging 200 by 200 as i go. the three day rule, oh man i laught about that now. because i went there first time, stayed 2 months, and stayed 7 days one lady friend and everything was fine during and long after, just be rational and it can actually be very fun
It's been a while now, but last time I usually tried to dress respectably. Long office trousers, short sleeve shirt, closed shoes. Clean shaven. Only a simple watch like Casio. Absolutely no jewellery. Long trousers also gives better protection against mosquitoes. . And I take off the bills I need for the payment from the wad while it's in the pocket. Also have a few hundred in your shirt pocket for small bills. . This gives me more respect from the girls compared to the piss drunk fella in a soiled Singha vest, which opens up to better quality offers at lower prices if I'm looking for company. Thai people look very much at external appearance and looking like an expat holding a decent job always gives you less trouble. Needless to say, limit your consumption and be man enough to toss in water or a soft drink during the evening.
I respectfully disagree (a bit) with Daz on the Beach Rd issue. I'm cautious too and frankly very few of the ladies I've seen waiting there are attractive enough I would even consider bringing back to hotel. My disagreement though is when Daz says of course any of these Beach Rd ladies would *want* to work at a bar as compared to being their own boss so to speak. I've spoken with a lot of bar girls (both at the bar and in private) and many say how much they don't like it due to all the pressure management puts on them each 10 day work cycle to bring in so many lady drinks and so many bar fines, etc. Under performance is punished in various ways. Some places have very aggressive mamasans and owners constantly berating them for the smallest things. So IMO there are many reasons for ladies to prefer being their own bosses as compared to working at a bar or gents club or agogo. Lots of girls have quit and moved back to their home province or just got a regular job and maybe do some freelancing on the side.
Great video, as regard to cash, do you mean bring our own currency, in cash, and then exchange it when we are there into Baht as we get a better exchange rate than card withdrawals or would it be better to get Thai Baht notes, before we leave to come on holiday? (Im in the UK).
hello. Thank you for the great video! I am wondering about something that I am a bit embarrassed about. I have a mild handicap which makes me walk a bit awkwardly (it looks a bit like I've been constantly training my legs a bit too hard). I imagine that when I take one of these girls with me, she will probably react a little when we start the trip to the restaurant or hotel. Is this something that could create additional challenges/problems for me you think when it comes to getting to know the girls better?
Speaking of cash, can you still exchange uk notes with the late queen's face on them daz? Are they still legal tenner In thailand? Thanks for the video pal.
see that many guys thinks its is super cheap in thailand..well the country has changed ALOT in +20 years and are now a medium income country with a booming manufacturing industry and export. Poverty rate in Thailand is around 6% and that's lover poverty rate than usa and u.k and the bars have serious trouble to find girls and ladys working i the "industry" Most younger and beautiful girls go direct to the chinese and korean only ktv bars or direkt to hi so in bangkok where NO westerner are welcome..and they get +6000 and up to 20000 baht for a st
Hey do you happen to know what that street Thaniya Rd in Bangkok right in Patpong area is all about? I suspect it is what you are describing, a very high end stretch of KTV or other bar/clubs that cater only to Chinese, Korean, Japanese. I was wandering the area one night during my last trip just to check it out and walked down Thaniya and was gobsmacked by all the pretty young ladies dressed so nice just standing/sitting outside on the sidewalk. I was only white guy on entire street LOL, it was 100% Asian only including many guys in full on suits (even though it was 90 degree and humid night). A bit of surreal experience.
@@clrodrick there are barstreets like that are all over se-asia..even in pattaya there are growing number of ktv bars(karaokebars) ..where NO westerners are welcome or even can afford it. seen some live streams on korean youtube channels showing even nude girls and they are 9-10points all thru..no fat tattooed older barladys there wich western guys pay minimum 3000 baht st..555
The Poverty rates between Thailand and the west can not be compared. Most people in "poverty" in the west would not be in "poverty" in Thailand. The statistics are very misleading.
@@bawitham1 powery in the us is having less than 23$ a day..the poverty in thailand is less than 70 baht a day.. in thailand u can still eat ur self full on 70 baht and get healthcare(30 baht scheme) and help/food/shelter from the tempels ..in america,,well..good luck...sleeping on the street a winter's night living on less than 23$ a day
the one day rule has its problems also, this is my fourth time in Pattaya & I cant walk down Soi 6 anymore without my Line blowing up from the girls I have spent time with in multiple bars, "why you not come my bar" "I see you go other bar" "dont you miss me" "I have no customer" "I buy you drink" I now have to hide in bars, I cant win either way
What's the deal with exchanging UK pounds now, that our currency is changing with King Charlie now beginning to show up on UK pound notes? Are they still accepting UK pounds with Queen Lizzie's head on the notes?
Just a question daz. Im planning on retirement in pattaya in two years. Im just bringing my debit card which will have my uk pension paid in to it. Whats the best way for me to get money out without incurring high fees.can i transfer money frim my card into my Thai bank account. And then take cash out in the bank
The secret is a Thai Bank account, can be tricky to open, there are agents who can help (for a fee). If you have one you are set! Transfer UK GBP using WISE into THB paid into Thai Bank account, then FREE to withdraw at ATM if in same region as your Thai Bank, using it's Card. AFAIK all foreign cards pay cash withdrawal fees in Thailand plus transaction charges.
As a Westerner who has never been to Thailand but is "seasoned" on the tricks and traps of strip clubs and the like I tend to think I've built up a pretty strong callus over the years and see the reality of what is happening to the point where I feel I can say no to anybody for anything if I think it's a bad idea. Am I less vulnerable to being taken for a ride in Thailand or is the game on a whole other level that even the most cynical westerner could still "fall" for a thai bar girl? In other words are western girls playing checkers while thai girls playing chess?
Been watching for a while. Good info. Just wondering how many girls smoke tobacco. As a smoker and have quit for a while before and notice how much it smells. Prefer some girl thats also smokes. Any ideas other than give up smoking. Guessing it's a small amount.
Very rare these days to see a girl smoking normal cigs, they have all switched to small disposable e-cigs which they all wear on a ribbon around their necks. These smell of Lavender or Vanilla etc
There’s no need to bring £5k in cash. If you have a bank that doesn’t charge conversion rates, you can simply go inside the bank to withdraw cash. Therefore avoiding ATM fees too.
Banks are not NGOs… if the bank doesn’t charge a fee it is because the conversion rate they use covers the fee… Don’t be naive. Unless you are a very “special” customer(and the bank makes money from you in another way…) the bank is not going to exchange currencies for free…
a bottle of water cost 5-7 baht..and if u have a water machine downstars u get 1 liter for 1 baht..but yeah you can make coffee and the on the tapwater in most places ..mainly under the rain season..hot season its kind of chlorinated
10,000 baht, who takes that amount with them each night? I'm currently in Pattaya and I don't take out more than 4,000 baht. With LT you can pay with money kept in your hotel safe.
55555 yes that's bloody funny they all say me no like thai man but they all have kids to them and i actually have to admit most are very very good father's true story
To avoid paying BF, I prefer to meet girls before their work. But more than 50% of chances, then miss to wake up and don't come. The best way it to keep girls whole 24 hours and don't let them leave, but it costs more.
take everything a bar girl says with a grain of salt and don't look for a wife at a bar! Don't force it with a girl either it works or it doesn't you don't want to be sat there with her on her phone or her eyeing up other guys while you feel like a fool! no you want her to talk with you have fun build a connection and end with a "fun time" back at the hotel
"Bring cash with you." This isn't good advice because it's not necessary. I did that on my first visit to Thailand but never bothered again. Just take money out of an ATM. You'll get the best exchange rate and if you've with a half decent bank they'll even refund that 220 baht fee.
Daz I'm very experienced in Thailand and I've been following you for years you should open a office on second rd Darryl's falung consultation you would make a fortune 😅
Listen guys who coming for first time never I repeat never open safe in front of thai lady. Always wear shorts with zips or buttons shorts so ladyboys can't pick pocket you .only need 4 k bht at night .500 bht bar 1500 short 2k for long time 500 bar fine to take lady from bar so if you want lady make sure you have this money with you plus what you think you going to spend .never change numbers because she ring you when you home for money .only buy lady a drink if you want to bar fine her.All tell lues

Also, it's not a bad idea to collect some 50 baht notes for small purchases since a vendor might not have much change, although that seems to b getting better (Grab rides in cars seem to run 40-80 baht, bbq chicken is 40-60 baht etc.). The 7-11's don't seem to have problems with the 1000 baht notes ($35 USD) but other places might. Finally, on bar nights I like to have 2000 baht in 100 baht notes, which I keep exclusively in my "tips" pocket for general tips to bar maids, mamasan, security (the last two usually on the way out, unless I had to ask a question). Divide them into folded over groups of 5 bills each so you never pull out a fat wad. Finally, not exactly paper money management, but I always pay for each round of drinks when they come, since I want to spot if girls are ordering drink combos that are charged as two drinks instead of one - usually a shot with soda or soft drink on the side, or if their friends are badgering them to sneak a drink for them on the tab). The other option is to check each receipt, but then we cynical ones can wonder if extra receipts get added in when the dice cup goes up to the counter, or if the girl is really adding up all those little slips of paper correctly plus, it's dark in most bars and the check bin can b hard to make out. A really good night can be as little as $100 if you select one lady and don't run a big drink tab with her, but $300 USD if you liven up the party (the hostesses live for drink commissions and appreciate 100 baht - $3 - tips; also, the girls make friends with other girls and try to look out for each other by pushing you to buy drinks for select friends).
Remember the bars are not broth els; there are s0apy massage for that, and in some ways it's better to bifurcate bar flirting from the works at a so apy; I've seen friends marry bar girsl, but not one even takes soopy girls out. Think of most bars as places where the hostesses will "date for pay" if there is some chemistry, and hope for return visits on future vacations or even the grail, a sponsorship. Don't take the prettiest but most aloof lady. Take the charming one. You might find now have a helper, companion, tour guide, friend, and someone you could genuinely like. It's up to you to decide whether it's no strings attached or add to your rotation.
better write a book with instructions ..
I always bring 2-3 of those coins for the baht busses. I like to hoard 20 and 50 baht notes for tips depending on the service level.
Fantastic advice as usual.
Top advice Daz ... thanks...
Beach road is a gamble for sure. Only one gave me a bit of trouble. Good thing i knew a bit of thai and vetter yet i look thai.
Awesome information
Thank you 🙏🏻
I came for first time in February, I brought a girl and her friend back to my hotel from soi 6, her friend tried to take a packet of cigarettes, I said something and showed I was not happy, at the time the cigarettes did not turn up but the girl I bar fined bought me a packet of cigarettes to replace them, day or two later I found them under my razors in bathroom! Put everything in safe guys no matter how small it saves the hassle
Bring clean currency, no marks or missing corners. USA $100 bills must be the new anti-counterfeit style with the band running up and down.
100% true, good advice! Old 100’s will be rejected by a bank or exchange service…
What happened those 3 times with the disaster? Would be interesting to hear.
If you live a quiet life 'back home' nothing will prepare you for the full on experience of Pattaya. The jet lag, the heat, the noise, the street level pollution, the funny money, no card payments, the traffic chaos, the petty scams, the sex crazed girls, the sex crazed ladyboys, the endless bars, the dodgy food, getting lost etc etc. Once you get over all of that and you will have a truly unforgettable experience! 🤣
I think one needs a few short trips here to get acquainted. My first trip was pretty eye-opening and I made several little mistakes, but it was ok.
@@crazyg74 Yep. It can be overwhelming. I have been around a bit as they say but that was a fair while ago and Soi B/LK Metro etc hit me like a brick initially. Ride the wave and come back stronger next time! 👍
@@crazyg74same here. Makes me want to return and have another go with what I learned the first time.
@user-mf2fd6dq8x For money they are. For them men are walking cash machines that just keep paying out.
@@Explorer766 Make sure you do. Just stay where you feel comfortable and give the out of town Gentleman's Clubs a visit to ease yourself into things.... literally 🤣
Hold the phone , I need to go out with 10000 baht with me for a night out ? Holy cow 🐄 😂
@@davidbrown4271 yes back in the day you only needed 4 or 5 now you probably need 8-10 he's probably not far off thank God I was going early 2003 till 2010 it was cheap long time 1000 baht and you had to tell them to leave
its not cheap anymore..many guys that buy the youtube lies do get a shock..
@@gmm5550 well I don’t drink I’m way ahead , just cash for companionship and I’m happy happy happy 😃
@@davidbrown4271 best advice is a happy massage..cheap and good..looking for "girlfriends" can be pretty expensive..know guys that pay their "girlfriends" 50000 baht a month + condo, food clothes and presents..
Thailand isnt not a low income cheap paradise with "desperate ladys" anymore its a middle income industrial country nowadays with high education and low poverty rate
I 5000 max and have good time well I do not drink much though - 10000 is top notch agogo even model
You can send money to yourself in Thailand via Remitly and pick it up from Thai bank etc.for the princely sum of £1.99
Dude it takes big balls to get on that plane bro.
I believe in a money belt. Small money in my front pocket and 1000 baht notes in that money belt.
If it's your 1st time in Thailand short time only
My buddy just made the huge mistake met the first girl on thai friendly when he landed and took her on 10 days island tour:( he said after the first day he realized he made a mistake - she was glued to her phone and asking him to buy her stuff all the time including meals
You can avoid the BF in hua hin because they close a lot earlier, maybe 12-1am.
I wouldn't suggest a Swede to bring cash right now since the exchange rate for SEK is terrible (2.30 today when I looked and in an atm you atleast get 3.10)
Hopefully the SEK can recover a bit atleast :)
Yes very true, I was at coconut bar aka Beach road the one's that want my attention looks at me while I'm talking to her but the one's that don't want my attention just look at me a few seconds and then stared back at her phone
Great video Daz but not sure I agree with carrying cash. I'm there next month and always use Wise. ATM fees cost around 6000b but on 330,000 I'd rather lose 6000 to fees and know I don't have hundreds of thousands of baht in a safe that in theory could be accessed. Anyways my 2 cents
Thanks for the video. So much useful information! What do you think of Thai Friendly as a way of meeting women?
Thaifriendly = freelance
Great Advice :)
I might add that getting a Charles Schwab brokerage account only initially costs $100 USD to set up. You can then fund it accordingly and they reimburse 100% of your ATM fees worldwide. No need to carry large amounts of USD to Pattaya as you can withdraw 30K Baht daily. Also Capital One cards as well as others carry no foreign transaction fees and many places will accept such as Hospitals, Dr and Dentist offices, Shopping Malls and many restaurants and even some clubs.
Learn to say NO !!!
Remember some of these ladies make more money than you do :)
Enjoy Paradise
Some banks like Bank of America also will waive all internatinoal ATM fees for debit cash withdraws if one has a high enough wealth stored at the bank/brokerage.
Great video Daz 🍻🙏
Be cold as liquid nitrogen after contact.
After first contact I meant.
Great advice
exactly what i did. brought 4000 euros and kept it all in a safe, exchanging 200 by 200 as i go. the three day rule, oh man i laught about that now. because i went there first time, stayed 2 months, and stayed 7 days one lady friend and everything was fine during and long after, just be rational and it can actually be very fun
Thanks for sharing 👍
It can be a random picking up a lady from beach road but at least you get to see what they look like.Not as with Thai Friendly.
Cheers, Daz!
It's been a while now, but last time I usually tried to dress respectably. Long office trousers, short sleeve shirt, closed shoes. Clean shaven. Only a simple watch like Casio. Absolutely no jewellery. Long trousers also gives better protection against mosquitoes. .
And I take off the bills I need for the payment from the wad while it's in the pocket. Also have a few hundred in your shirt pocket for small bills. .
This gives me more respect from the girls compared to the piss drunk fella in a soiled Singha vest, which opens up to better quality offers at lower prices if I'm looking for company.
Thai people look very much at external appearance and looking like an expat holding a decent job always gives you less trouble.
Needless to say, limit your consumption and be man enough to toss in water or a soft drink during the evening.
Yes think ahead 😊
Catch up with you soon Daz for a coffee and a few girls 😂
Most farang men are no match for the hardened bargirls.
indeed! still gotta love them though, eh?
@@crazyg74 o sure, but you have to keep the lead
I respectfully disagree (a bit) with Daz on the Beach Rd issue. I'm cautious too and frankly very few of the ladies I've seen waiting there are attractive enough I would even consider bringing back to hotel. My disagreement though is when Daz says of course any of these Beach Rd ladies would *want* to work at a bar as compared to being their own boss so to speak. I've spoken with a lot of bar girls (both at the bar and in private) and many say how much they don't like it due to all the pressure management puts on them each 10 day work cycle to bring in so many lady drinks and so many bar fines, etc. Under performance is punished in various ways. Some places have very aggressive mamasans and owners constantly berating them for the smallest things. So IMO there are many reasons for ladies to prefer being their own bosses as compared to working at a bar or gents club or agogo. Lots of girls have quit and moved back to their home province or just got a regular job and maybe do some freelancing on the side.
No 1996 or 1997 US $100 bills. Lots were counterfieted and most won't accept. Just tell the bank teller to give you year 2000 and up.
Paboon is wonderfull, good choice
Thanks Señor Daz! Great Advice
Great video, as regard to cash, do you mean bring our own currency, in cash, and then exchange it when we are there into Baht as we get a better exchange rate than card withdrawals or would it be better to get Thai Baht notes, before we leave to come on holiday? (Im in the UK).
Bring your own currency, never change to Thai baht outside Thailand
hello. Thank you for the great video! I am wondering about something that I am a bit embarrassed about. I have a mild handicap which makes me walk a bit awkwardly (it looks a bit like I've been constantly training my legs a bit too hard). I imagine that when I take one of these girls with me, she will probably react a little when we start the trip to the restaurant or hotel. Is this something that could create additional challenges/problems for me you think when it comes to getting to know the girls better?
Maybe try an older lady who is more understanding
Speaking of cash, can you still exchange uk notes with the late queen's face on them daz? Are they still legal tenner In thailand? Thanks for the video pal.
Of courst it'sstill valid, same as the late Thai King's notes are.
@@CheekyMonkey007 thanks for info
Good advice.🙏😊
Cash is king
see that many guys thinks its is super cheap in thailand..well the country has changed ALOT in +20 years and are now a medium income country with a booming manufacturing industry and export.
Poverty rate in Thailand is around 6% and that's lover poverty rate than usa and u.k and the bars have serious trouble to find girls and ladys working i the "industry"
Most younger and beautiful girls go direct to the chinese and korean only ktv bars or direkt to hi so in bangkok where NO westerner are welcome..and they get +6000 and up to 20000 baht for a st
Hey do you happen to know what that street Thaniya Rd in Bangkok right in Patpong area is all about? I suspect it is what you are describing, a very high end stretch of KTV or other bar/clubs that cater only to Chinese, Korean, Japanese. I was wandering the area one night during my last trip just to check it out and walked down Thaniya and was gobsmacked by all the pretty young ladies dressed so nice just standing/sitting outside on the sidewalk. I was only white guy on entire street LOL, it was 100% Asian only including many guys in full on suits (even though it was 90 degree and humid night). A bit of surreal experience.
@@clrodrick there are barstreets like that are all over se-asia..even in pattaya there are growing number of ktv bars(karaokebars) ..where NO westerners are welcome or even can afford it.
seen some live streams on korean youtube channels showing even nude girls and they are 9-10points all thru..no fat tattooed older barladys there wich western guys pay minimum 3000 baht st..555
The Poverty rates between Thailand and the west can not be compared. Most people in "poverty" in the west would not be in "poverty" in Thailand. The statistics are very misleading.
@@bawitham1 powery in the us is having less than 23$ a day..the poverty in thailand is less than 70 baht a day..
in thailand u can still eat ur self full on 70 baht and get healthcare(30 baht scheme) and help/food/shelter from the tempels ..in america,,well..good luck...sleeping on the street a winter's night living on less than 23$ a day
When You Go back to Your Country after a Wonderful Holiday....Tell Your New Girlfriend to Sponsored You and Send You Money Every Month :-)....
the one day rule has its problems also, this is my fourth time in Pattaya & I cant walk down Soi 6 anymore without my Line blowing up from the girls I have spent time with in multiple bars, "why you not come my bar" "I see you go other bar" "dont you miss me" "I have no customer" "I buy you drink" I now have to hide in bars, I cant win either way
What's the deal with exchanging UK pounds now, that our currency is changing with King Charlie now beginning to show up on UK pound notes? Are they still accepting UK pounds with Queen Lizzie's head on the notes?
Of course King C notes are accepted
@@CheekyMonkey007 but are they also still accepting Queen Lizzie's notes? I don't want to arrive with cash and they say money is too old!
Just a question daz. Im planning on retirement in pattaya in two years. Im just bringing my debit card which will have my uk pension paid in to it. Whats the best way for me to get money out without incurring high fees.can i transfer money frim my card into my Thai bank account. And then take cash out in the bank
The secret is a Thai Bank account, can be tricky to open, there are agents who can help (for a fee). If you have one you are set! Transfer UK GBP using WISE into THB paid into Thai Bank account, then FREE to withdraw at ATM if in same region as your Thai Bank, using it's Card.
AFAIK all foreign cards pay cash withdrawal fees in Thailand plus transaction charges.
@PenttisHSR thanks for the information
Most of them are on yabba in the clubs
Cash is used all over Australia. never use card never let banks control my money
What?😅
As a Westerner who has never been to Thailand but is "seasoned" on the tricks and traps of strip clubs and the like I tend to think I've built up a pretty strong callus over the years and see the reality of what is happening to the point where I feel I can say no to anybody for anything if I think it's a bad idea. Am I less vulnerable to being taken for a ride in Thailand or is the game on a whole other level that even the most cynical westerner could still "fall" for a thai bar girl? In other words are western girls playing checkers while thai girls playing chess?
Been watching for a while. Good info. Just wondering how many girls smoke tobacco. As a smoker and have quit for a while before and notice how much it smells. Prefer some girl thats also smokes. Any ideas other than give up smoking. Guessing it's a small amount.
Very rare these days to see a girl smoking normal cigs, they have all switched to small disposable e-cigs which they all wear on a ribbon around their necks. These smell of Lavender or Vanilla etc
@@CheekyMonkey007 Guessed as much, can't stand the smell of e-ciggs/vapes. Sickly sweet. Thanks for the reply. 👍
I'd say at least 95%+ vape now not smoke
I've got a nice, fake gold chain especially for wearing in Thailand 😂
Fake gold chain...fake Rolex...fake expensive designer clothes like Stone Island and Gucci....Be a two week millionaire...😂
@@brianvesta The brand clothing looks cheap & like crap. It's just too obvious. 😂 I'd hate having a real gold chain stolen
real or fake you are just asking for trouble from a potential mugger. Crime is low in Thailand, but it is not non-existent
There’s no need to bring £5k in cash.
If you have a bank that doesn’t charge conversion rates, you can simply go inside the bank to withdraw cash. Therefore avoiding ATM fees too.
Which bank doesn't charge ??? Name ONE
@@CheekyMonkey007 My Chase account for a start. Also Wise is pretty competitive.
@@CheekyMonkey007My Chase account doesn’t charge.
Chase card
Banks are not NGOs… if the bank doesn’t charge a fee it is because the conversion rate they use covers the fee… Don’t be naive. Unless you are a very “special” customer(and the bank makes money from you in another way…) the bank is not going to exchange currencies for free…
Are robberies really common in Pattaya? Like they’ll just take your jewelry right off ya?
Not really, it can happen if you walk, drunk, alone at night down a dark street and you are wearing a flashy gold necklace.
Can you drink tap water at your condo there? If not, can you boil it and make tea safely?
No
drink bottled water....cheap & it's sold everywhere. You can safely make tea from boiled water from the tap
a bottle of water cost 5-7 baht..and if u have a water machine downstars u get 1 liter for 1 baht..but yeah you can make coffee and the on the tapwater in most places ..mainly under the rain season..hot season its kind of chlorinated
You must boil all tap water, then you can make tea, coffee, no problem
10,000 baht, who takes that amount with them each night? I'm currently in Pattaya and I don't take out more than 4,000 baht. With LT you can pay with money kept in your hotel safe.
Who does LT any more ? You need enough for drinks + bar fine + ST fee at least 6 or 7K, i often take 8K out with me.
55555 yes that's bloody funny they all say me no like thai man but they all have kids to them and i actually have to admit most are very very good father's true story
To avoid paying BF, I prefer to meet girls before their work. But more than 50% of chances, then miss to wake up and don't come. The best way it to keep girls whole 24 hours and don't let them leave, but it costs more.
Judging by the quality of bar girls on offer these days the one night rule definitely applies 😂
one day rule, good policy, is it possible to bar fine a girl on soi 6 for one day?
Of course, but WHY, they have ST rooms
take everything a bar girl says with a grain of salt and don't look for a wife at a bar! Don't force it with a girl either it works or it doesn't you don't want to be sat there with her on her phone or her eyeing up other guys while you feel like a fool! no you want her to talk with you have fun build a connection and end with a "fun time" back at the hotel
I still belive you should be doing audio books. Or something like that. You have souch a pleasent voice!
Does nobody use travellers cheques anymore ?
Hardly anyone accepts them anymore.
havent seen a travellers cheque since beginning of 2000
3rd
"Bring cash with you." This isn't good advice because it's not necessary. I did that on my first visit to Thailand but never bothered again. Just take money out of an ATM. You'll get the best exchange rate and if you've with a half decent bank they'll even refund that 220 baht fee.
i like stay with one lady if shes good :=)
Some of these girls can become addictive and worse than drugs
Daz I'm very experienced in Thailand and I've been following you for years you should open a office on second rd Darryl's falung consultation you would make a fortune 😅
I knew we had 4 pockets for a reason.
Listen guys who coming for first time never I repeat never open safe in front of thai lady. Always wear shorts with zips or buttons shorts so ladyboys can't pick pocket you .only need 4 k bht at night .500 bht bar 1500 short 2k for long time 500 bar fine to take lady from bar so if you want lady make sure you have this money with you plus what you think you going to spend .never change numbers because she ring you when you home for money .only buy lady a drink if you want to bar fine her.All tell lues
