I am no longer surprised that there are so many expats who failed to plan their retirements. Thailand is a wonderful place to retire provided that you can afford to live comfortably here. Running out of money makes for a miserable life.

If you're lucky she likes you and your money, normally, sooner or later, you will find out is just about the money, the vast majority of cases, 99%. "Normal" Thai women are the most dangerous, as you may fall into the trap of thinking she is "different" 😆 At least, you know what to expect from a bar/massage girl, and you know the cost. Is it worth the risk? Do we really need a Thai girlfriend/wife only interested in farang money? There are millions of good Thai women, 99% of them are married with Thai men

Thanks Peter, thanks for all of the stories. They seem so obvious now.

Thanks Peter, Always enjoy your stories . Regards, Greg

Yes and totally agree Pete, I would be petrified of running out of money whilst in Thailand so I will take reserves. I noticed on the last few trips that it can be very easy to go well over budget so a significant stash of emergency funds (not intending to spend if avoidable) is a total must.

The Filipino gathering on weekends is something I witnessed in Hong Kong too. Every weekend. Under big bridges, overpass, mrt stations etc. It's a sight to be seen. ✌️

Thanks mr del monte for the great stories enjoyed them and well read as always.regards damon 👍🏼

Sakon Nakhon is a nice little town. My girlfriend has a farm outside of it and I been staying with her. We plan on selling the property with the 10 cows and keeping the house and land on the other side of the road. I am 58 and she is 53 and I am retired. Time to relax and travel, not farm

Great stories Peter

Great video Peter 👍

Enjoyed listening again 😊

Totally agree with you Peter - couldn't imagine visiting a country on a shoe-string budget like story #2. Nevertheless, made for a captivating story.

Hay Pete...hope all is good with you. Never thought heat scene is this bad..

The maids still hang out in Singapore on their days off, but the park on orchard rd where they used to go is gone. You'll still see them at lucky plaza, and other parks.

Chang rai was the heart of the golden triangle the opium trade capital

Yes There are now thousands of Philippino maids also Indonesian maids still hanging out in Orchard Road, outside shopping malls & in Parks. Many years ago they got 1 day off a month couple of years ago they now get off days every Sundays. It is not uncommon to see these maids dating the Bangladeshi male foreign workers who also have the same Sundays off on the arms of their BFs but its also not uncommon for these maids to be on dating sites looking for a well to do farang to marry so they can emigrate

That's a wild story!!! The drunky Oye girlfriend. Abandoning his stuff at her place to hang out with some Swede. 😂 One meal of eggs and toast a day! 😂😂 Going back to the drunky ex-girlfriend. Just to listen to her have sex while you lay out of the floor!!!!😂😂😂😂 This story had me laughing.I literally have tears in my eyes!!!! Great story!! And great read Peter!

Well if you look around the city i live in, in the united states, men have filipino wife, no women from Thailand. Must be a reason they are not popular.

To the first story: don’t marry the girl, it sounds like a car crash waiting to happen!! To the second story, it’s really well written, you wonder why a 26 y. o. doesn’t have someone (parents, relatives, friends) who could send him some money, so maybe he exaggerated his money problems a little for dramatic effect?!

The story sounded all true to me

I've been spending my winters in Thailand for the past 4 years. I met a Thai girl, single mother. We hit it off pretty good, but I'm not sure she has any strong feelings for me. I'm at the point now just to walk away. I've tried to be good to her, but I think I may be taking advantage of. She is 24 years younger than me. We have kept in contact almost every day, but that little voice in the back of my head, keeps telling me something isn't right. I guess I'll see this winter.

What’s up Peter, I’m a new subscriber (26 M). I’ve been listening for about a week. How much should I save up for my first trip?

@robertgrey6101

3 ай бұрын

Work out the cost of airfare, accommodation, meals (research these by food types, Indian, Thai, Italian, Malaysian, Japanese, Chinese etc, 4 beers a day plus 1 only ladies drink then multiply by 10. That way you may have a reserve of $$$ when things go wrong. Keep a level head. Do a recce for future trips when you have lost those bright eyes and bushy tail and your head has stopped swooning.

It is impossible to give an accurate travel budget to a stranger, but excluding airfare and hotel a person can have a good holiday on $50 to $500 a day. It all just depends on what and how much you want to do.

Relationship? It’s all one way traffic,which inevitably ends in a massive crash,avoid Thai bar girls like the plague!

Thai ladies from the entertainment zones are most of the time spoiled by their new life standard. It become their benchmark to stay independent or having a quick exit in case relationships get heavier than their cultural stubbornness, non-existent academic background or laziness. Been there, done that. I did left a big chunk of my heart and money out there. After 7 years of trying 6 months each year, I am now convinced to keep a 3 day rule in active mode and keep the pleasure of wallowing in fresh flesh ricocheting from bed to bed. But, holding tight in budget is the key to stay on saddle and be able to get back home with the smile ~

Sarcasm and jokes really need to be watched. I almost had a real problem because of that with a girl I was having alot of fun with.

i dont complain very much but I think you flipped off that guy on the long story .It was a great story and your comments did not do it justice . He spent a lot of time writing that .

I wasn't feeling great when I recorded

story 2 - the young fellow seems to be smart (university major, picking up the thai language quickly) so it's surprising why he spent so much money on his alcoholic gf even though he didn't have strong feelings for her. I guess women make men do stupid things. story 3 - yes, on Sundays, Filipino helpers in Singapore are with friends on Orchard Road, Botanic Gardens, Sentosa and other popular places. It's nice to see them happy on their days off. I feel bad for the helpers who are forced by their employers to work on Sundays because they can't see their friends

How about some successful stories about thai and farang couples

Ah, the demons do come out when in BKK, Pattaya and Phuket

Simply put desperate men and women looking for a win win until the money runs out.

Very difficult and nearly impossible For my case , she stated , she can go to hotel , sleep and shower in the same room but as long as between there is no sex , she is not betraying anyone .......she can go out with any guys as long as there is no intimate moment , she is not in the wrong .......yet I believe her , so you tell me , is this mother of 4 worth my 3 years of loving her ????😅😅😅😅😅😅
