I've been here long enough to know that everything you said in this video is absolutely correct. Take note, gentlemen. This guy knows exactly what he's talking about and you would be wise to take his advice.
Great content Daz again, it’s my 6 visit and the last couple of years and I would say in general Thailand is a very safe place and most people are super trusting. Even after my sixth visit you still have to be on your guard with bar girls because they are very sharp!
@@toby4301 I don't know where you get 'super trusting' from. Presumably you mean 'super trustworthy'. I have lost track of the number of times Thais have tried to con me, and this during multiple visits since 1981. These days I just grin at them when they try it on. Thailand is the Land of Sneers after all.
and extremely happy her "infamous" "i have no money" line worked. while there are some honest ones they must read the same training manual on things to say to foreigners to get sympathy money.
Always good advice, but sadly very few newbies find your UA-cam channel until they have already visited and gotten fleeced and trusted all the wrong people! But one does learn things from experience!
A note to 1st timers, if you’re wanting a bit and are considering bar fines for whatever reason you have… just load up Thai friendly or tinder. It’s cheaper and if you’re looking for that longer relationship you don’t have to worry about long term fines, you can also get someone “normal” worth settling with. Bar girls only want money. I’ll be back for the month of June and it’s my 5th time in 2 years.
"When dealing with ping pong touts, simply say 'Mai oh krap,' which means 'No, thank you.' Also, especially in Bangkok, if a middle-aged Thai man speaking very good English approaches you near well-known tourist attractions, it's often the start of the infamous tuk-tuk/gem store scam. I was approached last year-couldn't believe it's still happening after 40 years.
Merry Christmas Daz🌲 And Happy New Year🎉 coming out to Pattaya for my 1st visit time within 2 weeks for a 2 month visit , great content and thank you for all that you do
Merry Christmas.. Thanks for all your good videos The part about taking the girl back to her village... where she is safe... and where you can support her too. This is so true... They don't want to go back at all. It is also good to take off our Western glasses and to delve more into what a Thai really wants and that's what's best for her family I have now found a lovely woman from Isaan. and yes I have also had bar girls and massage ladies through trial and error you become wise This is Thailand
to be fair, these golden rules apply to every tourist region anywhere in the world but nevertheless they are summarized perfectly in this video, so thank you once again for your service!
If Pattaya only had 1channel it should be this one, I don't know this guy but his advice is bang on! On all his videos, thanks buddy for the great channel and merry Xmas 👍👍👍

I got rooked on my first day by a currency booth. Hadn't familiarised myself with the exchange rate and looked like pink fresh meat so she had me. Not a large amount but always check what you should expect and write it down on paper so the cashier can see that you are alert.
It's not just Pattaya, but Thailand wide, everything is different to what we know in western countries! OK, this is about Pattaya, but even timing of a meeting, both by the day, or hour, people don't turn up by the arranged day or time most of the time! It's Thai Time, hard to get used to! Quality of work is another issue, as Daz has mentioned in previous videos! If you lend someone, you should be prepared to never get the money or item returned, most of the time it is not, so best not to lend! It's just the attitude here, no problem if I don't give back or turn up on time! They will always turn up for money! Pattaya Girls, treat with skepticism everything you are told, it will mostly not be true! I am 21 years here, so Daz is right on the mark!

If you get into a cab make sure he turns the meter on If he refuses to, get out of the cab. By law they must use their meter but many don't want to. Don't let a cab driver talk you into any destination be it tourist or girls that you did not plan on going to.
Thanks, Daz I am not a Newbie but after some Leo's I might accidentally act like one. My 2 cents would be a reminder to 1st timers that there is NO law that says you have to drink alcohol. Yes, it is nice to buy a few drinks for a girl but they won't kick you out for having a few club sodas !
Young Thai Girls like Young Thai Boys. That's the simple truth. All other is an illusion of us old Farang. But it is a nice illusion. This illusion can help us or destroy us. We have this choice. But we don't accept this. This is our problem.
Your comment about the girls is 99% true. I had a girl who constantly told me she needed money, when l paid her pr.week 10000 baht, the money was gone after 2-3 days, to people she lent money from, of course it was only a trick to get more money from me, dump them on the spot, it's only gonna go on, asking for more. Some of them don't have a limit, they will go for every baht u own.

Great vid again Gaz. Just wanted your thoughts please on my question. - I been to Pattaya a few times now and each time I have met a bar girl and kept the contact going when I have returned to the UK. 3 different girls I am in contact with and none of them have asked for money in months of constant conversation so just wondering are they playing the long long game ? or could they be genuinly looking for Mr. Right? (lol) All 3 girls were late 40s but still very attractive as I am early 60s so a good catch for me tbh... I am confused on how long these girls can keep up the act before they want money? I am going back in January and will probably see all 3 again but not told them I will be in Pattaya. Any advice would be good from you fella. Thanks Alan. p.s love your content
Never take a taxi or 'tourist' mini bus from BKK to PTT, you will be fleeced. There are plenty of luxury busses at very reasonable rates. Just accept everyone in Pattaya is dodgy.
Had recently a Bolt that charged me 50 baht over the price . Was projected 170 , had to pay 220. Bolt has some rules that any uphold of traffic or other route is subject to more costs . And that is very subjective because in my case there was no other route and slighty more traffic because it was around 17u00 . Trip was back from Legend Siam to soi 5 Prat.
@@Spock105 Bolt-Is so cheap I normally pay him about 50 or 100 baht over the meter anyhow because it just seems like I’m stealing off him if I just pay the Meter rates Pay up and enjoy your holiday
@@gregbrown81 I know , and I also pay more than supposed . However , if I go to the app and it projects that a normal taxi is costing 220 and a Bolt 170 and in the end you have to pay 220 anyway ....then I feel ripped off.
@ I have a $10 Per day scam allowance All these people in the service industry have to make their money somewhere the hourly rates are atrocious and that’s why your hotel is about $35 a night so I don’t mind the occasional tiny touchup
I got charged double the quoted price. The ride had a 50% discount, the 50% being paid to the driver by Bolt. This driver however decided he’d get the 50% from me as well as Bolt. I had to complain and they agreed to take the money off my next ride.
@ So you got charged 50 Baht instead of 25 baht Maybe you should stay at home next time and save your pennies By the time these drivers pay for the fuel upkeep of the car and the actual capital cost of the car including depreciation funding to be making enough money to buy food for the day You really should keep that reality in your thinking about this in my opinion
3 years ago I thought you were a little "jaded" telling stories like that about the bar girls. Then I lived in Pattaya for 2 years. Yeah every word you said was true. Some of us despite hearing it the first few times from experts have to learn the hard way on our own. lol Pattaya is great for vacations and it's addictive and it's a great place to live actually. But you have to make rules and follow them or you land up getting taken advantage of and pissing a lot of money away for no good reason. Letting them know you are a "butterfly" during the first drink as you have said on other videos is the best way to go 9 out of 10 times. It's the 1 girl in 10,000 that you happen to meet... the one that would be on the magazine cover, the one every other girl in the bar stands around when they take group photos, that's the one that's difficult to limit the spending on. She's going to make 100,000 to 200,000 baht a month in Pattaya with you or without you.
I am extremely worried about this drink scam I have Ben hearing about for so many yrs, specially the last few yrs. Would there be any problems if I request to pay after every single drink?? Thanks in advance. Absolutely Outstanding
This is Thailand! Haha Merry Christmas Daz! Question for you. If the room doesn't have a safe, where do you store your valuables? Is the safe at reception too risky?
@ Yeah you’re right normally there’s a safe somewhere or just bury it somewhere in your bag or under the mattress or something over the years I’ve never ever had a problem with the hotel safes that are run down at reception But what do I do as a precaution I always take a really careful photo of my passport in case somehow I lose it it’s much easier to replace if you’ve got some record of what it looks like I remember one time in 200six I was getting out of a taxi just near the airport for some reason I turned around and had a look in the backseat and there was my passport just sitting there that guy would’ve driven off and I wouldn’t of had a clue how to find him what to do and it would’ve been a disaster well not really you can say spending another three weeks in Thailand a disaster Upon reflection probably not
Your channel is highly underrated Top quality information ❤ Young gentleman have no idea how lucky they are to have you make all this true information Remember that Thai girls have a very difficult and hard life also
I use my phone's bar code scanner to check the price, then I show the scammer the real price for some products street vendors sell. The look on their faces is priceless.
@@fkscopes Geez, I didn't know. I thought people sell goods at a loss. These vendors get their goods from a wholesaler who gets a shipment from China at a bulk rate. This one guy started at three time the real price, then double and he wouldn't budge even after I showed him the real price from my phone.
@@gregbrown81 In between sipping beers when these guys show up. Now, many know me and do not bother me anymore because they do not want to look foolish again.
guy at airport tried to charge me 500 from the airport to BK even tho they are meant to be metered luckily it wasnt my first rodeo 290 with the meter... lol
Sad to say that I have a good friend that fell for these simple tricks, and he married her after only knowing her for 40 days. I suspect that she ran the pregnancy scheme on him and he flew back to make this bar girl an honest woman. It’s been 8 months and a trip to the e fertility clinic in Thailand, but still no pregnancy.
I totally agree with you. So how do you do, when a girl trying to tell you a Lie. You know it's a Lie, but you also know, that she will not confirm that. I have starting a conversation a couple of time, with saying that I was not interested in, you know... But how do you prevent them in not telling the truth..?
I would include Baht bus drivers those who should not be trusted. I have observed individuals handing over 100-baht bills, and the driver retaining the change.
One thing you didn’t mention is if you buy her something she can resell like jewelry or those stuffed animals or phone even at sometime she will resell it.

I'm starting to see more issues with using Bolt, but mostly for traveling between Bangkok and Pattaya. A driver will show up but will want you to use another driver. They usually say something about going to Bangkok/Pattaya with a friend. I tell them no thank you and get another driver. I want my trips tracked on the application. I've had a few try to renegotiate the price because it's a one way trip and not get a customer for return. I don't mind adding the toll costs because Bolt takes 20% from the drivers.
My friend and I also had an issue taking Bolt from Pattaya to Bangkok. Driver agreed to fare but as soon as he picked us up he started complaining about the low amount and how he wasn't making any money. My friend said why did you agree to the fare then? We were going to get out and find a different ride, but after a bit of haggling we agreed to give him 140 baht for toll fares plus promised him a good tip. Frankly for longer city to city trips I think doing a private taxi is best, I have never been let down using them and it's only around 1200 baht for Bangkok Pattaya. Or take the bus it's pretty easy but a bit of a pain if you have a lot of luggage

@ yes he counted in front of me so fast, divided the notes into 2 sections to trick me and gave me wrong change.
MERRY Christmas
Great vid again Gaz. Just wanted your thoughts please on my question. - I been to Pattaya a few times now and each time I have met a bar girl and kept the contact going when I have returned to the UK. 3 different girls I am in contact with and none of them have asked for money in months of constant conversation so just wondering are they playing the long long game ? or could they be genuinly looking for Mr. Right? (lol) All 3 girls were late 40s but still very attractive as I am early 60s so a good catch for me tbh... I am confused on how long these girls can keep up the act before they want money? I am going back in January and will probably see all 3 again but not told them I will be in Pattaya. Any advice would be good from you fella. Thanks Alan. p.s love your content
Sorry Daz - I called you Gaz at the begining of my comment!!
Ive been in thailand just under a week now,and every girl ive spoken to has not worked in bar for more than a month😂
@@richards1800 Well it is Christmas
Never take a taxi or 'tourist' mini bus from BKK to PTT, you will be fleeced. There are plenty of luxury busses at very reasonable rates. Just accept everyone in Pattaya is dodgy.
Had recently a Bolt that charged me 50 baht over the price . Was projected 170 , had to pay 220. Bolt has some rules that any uphold of traffic or other route is subject to more costs . And that is very subjective because in my case there was no other route and slighty more traffic because it was around 17u00 . Trip was back from Legend Siam to soi 5 Prat.
@@Spock105 Bolt-Is so cheap I normally pay him about 50 or 100 baht over the meter anyhow because it just seems like I’m stealing off him if I just pay the Meter rates
Pay up and enjoy your holiday
@@gregbrown81 I know , and I also pay more than supposed . However , if I go to the app and it projects that a normal taxi is costing 220 and a Bolt 170 and in the end you have to pay 220 anyway ....then I feel ripped off.
@ I have a $10 Per day scam allowance
All these people in the service industry have to make their money somewhere the hourly rates are atrocious and that’s why your hotel is about $35 a night so I don’t mind the occasional tiny touchup
I got charged double the quoted price. The ride had a 50% discount, the 50% being paid to the driver by Bolt. This driver however decided he’d get the 50% from me as well as Bolt. I had to complain and they agreed to take the money off my next ride.
@ So you got charged 50 Baht instead of 25 baht
Maybe you should stay at home next time and save your pennies
By the time these drivers pay for the fuel upkeep of the car and the actual capital cost of the car including depreciation funding to be making enough money to buy food for the day
You really should keep that reality in your thinking about this in my opinion
3 years ago I thought you were a little "jaded" telling stories like that about the bar girls. Then I lived in Pattaya for 2 years. Yeah every word you said was true. Some of us despite hearing it the first few times from experts have to learn the hard way on our own. lol Pattaya is great for vacations and it's addictive and it's a great place to live actually. But you have to make rules and follow them or you land up getting taken advantage of and pissing a lot of money away for no good reason. Letting them know you are a "butterfly" during the first drink as you have said on other videos is the best way to go 9 out of 10 times. It's the 1 girl in 10,000 that you happen to meet... the one that would be on the magazine cover, the one every other girl in the bar stands around when they take group photos, that's the one that's difficult to limit the spending on. She's going to make 100,000 to 200,000 baht a month in Pattaya with you or without you.
Great video. Can i ask what the vlog camera and microphone is please.
Nice footage.
Happy New Year 👍

@@everythingPattaya Cheers 👍
I am extremely worried about this drink scam I have Ben hearing about for so many yrs, specially the last few yrs. Would there be any problems if I request to pay after every single drink?? Thanks in advance. Absolutely Outstanding
I’ve never been drink scammed. Just check your bin after each purchase and count your drinks. If you get smashed, well, then you’re fair game … 😂
Why did you give her money? Westerners tend to be easy marks in Asia.
can you trust leaving cash and valuables in a hotel safe in Pattaya?
In a good hotel
Great vlog cheers
The father I never had.
This is Thailand! Haha Merry Christmas Daz! Question for you. If the room doesn't have a safe, where do you store your valuables? Is the safe at reception too risky?
you do not take valuables
rule #1
@gregbrown81 bro I'm talking like cash and passport you have to bring that stuff lol
@ Yeah you’re right normally there’s a safe somewhere or just bury it somewhere in your bag or under the mattress or something over the years I’ve never ever had a problem with the hotel safes that are run down at reception
But what do I do as a precaution I always take a really careful photo of my passport in case somehow I lose it it’s much easier to replace if you’ve got some record of what it looks like
I remember one time in 200six I was getting out of a taxi just near the airport for some reason I turned around and had a look in the backseat and there was my passport just sitting there that guy would’ve driven off and I wouldn’t of had a clue how to find him what to do and it would’ve been a disaster well not really you can say spending another three weeks in Thailand a disaster
Upon reflection probably not
@@M.i.k.e. no one is interested in your passport
You need it to exchange money

Remember that Thai girls have a very difficult and hard life also
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🍺🥃😎😜
I use my phone's bar code scanner to check the price, then I show the scammer the real price for some products street vendors sell. The look on their faces is priceless.
You know all resale has a markup right 🤣 even buying at Walmart or Big C or 7/11 (granted the price will be much more reasonable)
too much time on your hands
@@fkscopes Geez, I didn't know. I thought people sell goods at a loss. These vendors get their goods from a wholesaler who gets a shipment from China at a bulk rate. This one guy started at three time the real price, then double and he wouldn't budge even after I showed him the real price from my phone.
@@gregbrown81 In between sipping beers when these guys show up. Now, many know me and do not bother me anymore because they do not want to look foolish again.
@@shhindig 👍 👌
guy at airport tried to charge me 500 from the airport to BK even tho they are meant to be metered luckily it wasnt my first rodeo 290 with the meter... lol
Some of the meters are rigged so even with the meter on it will be 500+
@CAHSR2020 not had that happen yet
Sad to say that I have a good friend that fell for these simple tricks, and he married her after only knowing her for 40 days.
I suspect that she ran the pregnancy scheme on him and he flew back to make this bar girl an honest woman. It’s been 8 months and a trip to the e fertility clinic in Thailand, but still no pregnancy.
I totally agree with you. So how do you do, when a girl trying to tell you a Lie. You know it's a Lie, but you also know, that she will not confirm that. I have starting a conversation a couple of time, with saying that I was not interested in, you know... But how do you prevent them in not telling the truth..?
You can't
Hello. Thanks for all your videos mate. Please can you do a video at Safari gentleman's club off Naklua 16/1?
I've never been there before or that area for any lady bars etc.
Also the crystal palace hotel fur review as it looks great. Cheers from Yorkshire Alex.🎉
I would include Baht bus drivers those who should not be trusted. I have observed individuals handing over 100-baht bills, and the driver retaining the change.
Use US dollars or exchange ?
What about E-Sim cards for phone services while in country, any feedback for using them?
The answer is simple: no one and nothing
The girls know exactly their value depending on their scale from 1 to a 10.

Is there a train you can use from the airport to Pattaya?
Not really
One thing you didn’t mention is if you buy her something she can resell like jewelry or those stuffed animals or phone even at sometime she will resell it.
the 2 clinics u recommended previously are only for beauty purposes.
04:55 I thought she was an acquaintance of yours😂
Definitely she was … 😂🥳🥰
So… I shouldn’t buy the water buffalo? I was told “It good price”!
Oh yes be on your guard but as Daz said This is Thailand..enjoy but be aware 😮
in bars im strictly pay as i go no running up a bar bill it will get padded out , pink dress seemed to know you , nice though very slick wasnt she
Daz is definitely the best with Advice on Pattaya
Just boom boom and enjoy the ride😂

I'm starting to see more issues with using Bolt, but mostly for traveling between Bangkok and Pattaya. A driver will show up but will want you to use another driver. They usually say something about going to Bangkok/Pattaya with a friend. I tell them no thank you and get another driver. I want my trips tracked on the application. I've had a few try to renegotiate the price because it's a one way trip and not get a customer for return. I don't mind adding the toll costs because Bolt takes 20% from the drivers.
My friend and I also had an issue taking Bolt from Pattaya to Bangkok. Driver agreed to fare but as soon as he picked us up he started complaining about the low amount and how he wasn't making any money. My friend said why did you agree to the fare then? We were going to get out and find a different ride, but after a bit of haggling we agreed to give him 140 baht for toll fares plus promised him a good tip. Frankly for longer city to city trips I think doing a private taxi is best, I have never been let down using them and it's only around 1200 baht for Bangkok Pattaya. Or take the bus it's pretty easy but a bit of a pain if you have a lot of luggage

Deceit rules in Pattaya and in Muang Thai as a whole. It's a cottage industry.
@@robertflint2549 I don’t believe anything I hear or read and only 80% of what I see and I’m happy with that
@gregbrown81 Good one, Greg. By believing the opposite of what the girls told me at any given time I usually could zero in on the truth.
@@robertflint2549 Also deceit is convenient
Many A time I have seen a very ugly western male with a quite attractive Thai female and he believes it’s true love
It’s not much deceit on her part for him to believe that because it suits his agenda and his ego
Many dudes who come to Thailand have not had a female near them since the last time they’re in Thailand but I think once they touchdown in Bangkok all of a sudden they’ve become attractive when reality is they haven’t become attractive
Their wallet has become attractive
