Suggestions on Hotels ?

I know I know I know I know.................................... Before everyone starts beating the shit out of me, I have told my GF for 5 years now I would take her to Thailand. Now she is a smoking hot Filipina that can compete any day of the week with a bargirl. She is game to have fun but not Board-member fun such as fucking other girls and shit like that. She is game, but conservative. We have 2 weeks in Thailand don't wont to GO Crazy spending like a 2 week billionaire but want to have some fun. What do you guys Suggest ? Where to go ? and Where to stay ?. I was thinking Pattaya for

Does anyone use Pinnacle sports book ? That lives in Thailand and if so do you have any problems with their site ? Thanks Stein

You are guys are way off track here. With all due respect I dont care about the Average Thai"s and or the scum Thai hooker Boyfriend. On another note::: Whom am I pissing off that has so much money that 30 grand a year is an Insult ??? If you have so much cash what the fuck are you on here bitching and crying about ? Why arent you in Florida on a private yacht with your smokin hot Columbian girls ??? It never suprises me where some of these posters come from ? Back to subject. To make it on 30 grand a year seems pretty in check ? Its always nice when BM whom live in

Let me explain a bit more. 30 K a year in US Dollars Net. That means you have 30 k to spend. Lets figure on a high end 5000 us dollars to get set up. Set up is an Apt and furnshings and etc and a long-term motorbike rental to start. I would think after the intial set up, You have 2500 a month coming in ?? That is quite a bit for a bloke that stays somewhat under the Radar and doesnt go out and Barfine and Drink himself to death ? I posted this same thread in a PI Forum and around 90 % said they would have no problem with that figure in Angeles city or even Subic. P

Can it still be done ? Can you live comfortable in Pattaya on 30 grand a year USA $ With prices going up on everything it seems to me that it would be much tighter now then just a couple of years ago. Now I realize that many will ask ? Well how often do you bar-hop ? My question to that is. Once you are their at ground zero for more then 6 months do you really have that urge to go out all the time to the bars ? I would think by then your cell phone should have enough short and long timers willing to stop by ? Mrstein

M62 Would you mind, maybe getting into, as the end drew near what your monthly costs of living was ? Did you find living in Jom beach much more productive way of life vs living in the middle of pattaya ? Do you also find that the longer you stayed there the easy is was to maybe find a nice girl ? I realize this question might sound a bit stupid but thru my travels there I found that the girls were a bit more mechincal in attitude vs lets say their phillippines sisters. however I have to assume that for longer stay punters it could be a much different story. I look forward to your

Trvlr Great question...................................... Stein

Well Maybe we can lucky as one of the posters whom is reading this thread and is in Pattaya now and or Thailand as a whole can check them and see if they work ?? Here are the sites. http://www.bigonsports.com/default.aspx This is betcris. http://www.matchbook.com/ This is one of the largest sites around http://www.wh555.com/ Another great site for odds http://www.pinnaclesports.com/ Grand daddy of them all http://www.betfair.com/ Largest out of the usa wagering site around Lets see what turns up ????? Stein

I would think all the large sites work just fine. Pinnacle sports Bet cris Betfair matchbook I couldnt see why you would be blocked ??? Stein

Hello M62 Was just checking in to see if you have any more updates since now its been a few months since you have been there ?? Regards Stein

Once again with research and due dilligence you can find so MANY Great investments out-there its stupid. Anyone with 250 grand plus can have it made in the shade........ Stein (5.) 10%-PLUS PORTFOLIO Our "10%-Plus Portfolio" includes a variety of high-reward investment ideas.

ALL DUE RESPECT TO OWEN.......... He is a bit off on quite a few items. If you have 250 grand plus you can get 9-15% returns on your money forever. He takes the smallest approach and yeilds in at 4-5 % Nobody with money even comes close to those type of gains. If any of you are at that half million mark plus USA $$$$ You have it made in the shade forever as long as you do not go crazy and spend like a fool. Big problem thu as what is happening in the philippines The us dollar is getting Killed so you do need to be a bit carefull but with proper planning You could get by J

How does it work if you are under the age of 55 ????? I am assuming there are plenty of blokes under 55 whom are living in Thailand. Stein

That seems like a Tight budget. I think the problem would be, It all sounds good as far from a money perpesctive however once you get there and get in sync somewhat, I think the Temptation of going out EVERY Night could really blow that budget Out of the water very quickly. Money Displine could be a REAL Bitch in Pattaya. This largest problem I think is that SO many go down there with this Number $$ in there head that they are going to adhere to and that lasts about a Whole 10 mins and its blown out the door. AM I wrong on this ?? Stein

I find it very intresting to say the least How for so many years One could travel and reside in Asia and live Very well for about 1500.00 a month however over the last few years Asia is now right about par with the USA $$$$$ One advantage is the Girls Thats really it. With that being said its for sure a Huge advantage however I think by spending that type of money to live oversea"s its almost not worth it to a certain extent ????? Goes to show us all that the West is now reaching out World wide and its not for the better. Stein

Sounds good. SO I guess its safe to assume that Once someome settles in. A true cost of about 1500 baht a day Exculding lodging and or Condo rent would be a solid Number ?????? Stein

2000.00 A month US$$ is quite a bit for Thailand. Goes to show ya how bad the dollar is shrinking up around the world. Pretty soon it will be cheaper to live in your own host country vs many third world countries ???? Stein

So really the magic number is about 100,000 baht a month which is about 2500.00 a month US $$ Thats quite bit a money.Hell many folks live fairly well on that in the usa ESP if you have No mortage. Its just crazy Thailand and the Phillippines is just starting to go up to the point as to where its almost not even worth it anymore. Pretty soon it will be close to 3 grand a month US $$$$$ At that point vacation is really the only option. Stein

Really just a general question. I am assuming its getting a bit harder to live like a King on 50-60 thousand baht a month ???? Stein

I have noticed that as of lately the last few months nobody has been on with a update of the cost of living in pattaya. As the dollar drops and cost go up I was wondering if this has really affected anyone who has been there for a while ??? With that being said the New punter who is arriving what should he expect to spend monthly ???? Stein

HAHAHAHAHA That was funny joebuck Stein

Let all the farangs STOP Coming to Thailand and then Lets see what happens to their vistor rate and ALL the money that comes from it. Half the country would come a Hault. If they dont want a bunch of Hookers running around Outlaw it 100% and enforce it . Typical goverment bullshit Without US there is No Money left in Thailand Period.

OH WOW Another poster backing Up my claims on high yeild investments. 1st trust deeds Managed future and or Forex funds High yeild real estate in upcoming markets and or Hot markets such as AZ,NV,UT and over-sea"s. Sports betting/investing yes there are a few Top notch Touts whom are Very good and yeild on a yearly basis upwards of 20-30% returns. Stein

There is No high pressure sales here at all. If you like what you hear and read PM me and I will put in touch with the group that is putting this togther I have nothing to do with it at all FROM MAKING money on it. However I do feel its going to be a great investment considering the Global world is shrinking minute by minute and overtime as USA rents go thru the roof Many corps will be outsourcing More and More. Singapore is a very nice place indeed. If you dont like it You dont like it. Stein
