Living the Dream in Pattaya, how to Succeed

[@Chris-j7v3b]

even if you already live here. It’s always good to watch Daz’s channel to REMIND YOURSELF of the dangers. It easy even for vets to get caught if you let your guard down.

[@rainman9055]

This is definitely I think the best KZbin channel on Pattaya absolutely brilliant advice and content

[@everythingPattaya]

Wow, thank you

[@viron6734]

Number one tip: don't underestimate your desire for a long-term partner. A lot of guys come over (usually after a painful breakup back home) and think they will enjoy getting with as many different women as possible, but very quickly discover that they actually want a serious relationship. However, Pattaya is perhaps the worst place in the world to look for one!

[@mcelmar1234]

I agree you can find girl friend or wife but you have to live in Bangkok or some other non touristy town, and try to find educated girl with normal job not bar girl but also you have to be in your fourthies or under if you want a younger one or someone your age. Unless your are rich then the age would not matter so they say but it would not last in long run as we all know.but as long as you keep the ATM machine open she will stay with you until you run out of money or she finds another rich men when you are our of town.

[@ccrider8483]

@mcelmar1234 Agree with your comment. I find it interesting that many men say they want/enjoy the girlfriend experience, but when they get it, they think it is real.

[@mikimoto99]

@@mcelmar1234 On saying that, I do have around 8 or 9 aquintances that married working girls over 15 years ago, that are still together. We never talk about their origins, especially around the kids😊

[@pepelemoko01]

I've mentioned this before, but this industry has been around for over 40 years. It's reminiscent of the towns in Norway, where each year, schools of whales are herded into an inlet and slaughtered by the locals. In Pattaya, punters are drawn in, and lured by social media, and end up despairing on a lonely high-rise balcony.

Unless your lady is self sufficient and has her own income source, stay single. I have been visiting for 33years and seen it all. Even the 3 day rule is too long for a newbie. Tap and run or you may get hooked😊

[@Kano_Jig]

Another fantastic video, Daz. What men (myself included) need to understand, Thai ladies in the "Services" industry are going to treat you 2-3 times better than any woman has every treated you in all the ways that make men feel like men. It is the stuff of legends. I went to Patts as a seasoned traveler (Age 45) that had been extremely successful with western ladies in my personal life. I had never ever experienced the type of love, affection, and just genuine connection with my masculine self until I encountered Thai ladies in the service industry. If it hadn't been for Daz's videos and a few boots on the ground veterans that snapped me out of it, I would have been lost in the sauce. It is a total fantasy that is blissful and sensational. Keep it as a fantasy...no matter how real it feels. Much easier said than done 555

[@goodtaste4]

Hi Daz, I’ve been here for 6 weeks now, and I might stay for 6 more months-maybe even longer. Every single word you say is 100% true. All your videos, all the stories-everything is spot on. I’ve got a lot of my own stories now, and it’s just nuts. I’m 33, and so far, I’m having the best time of my life. I do, as you say, have a heart of stone. I also never meet anybody more than 1-3 times. Everyone will feel something at some point; you just have to move on as soon as you do.

[@foxtrotthree569]

You’re the 007 of Thai life.

Great video Daz!! I completely agree. I retired from the US Air Force 3 months ago and the biggest obstacles for me is patience. Ppl just go with no plan and it drives me nuts lol but if u can overcome the soft heart out here you'll be ok... don't recommend it for guys that aren't use to beautiful girls. These women can be ruthless

Hi Daz, I completely agree with you on superiority of Gig system. The most practical way to go in Pattaya.

[@Chris-j7v3b]

Gig is the way to go here. It’s the best system via thai friendly or dating apps and asking for girls numbers that you meet.

[@shortmemory]

My first trip to Pattaya I got involved with an office worker and ended up staying at her place about 45 minutes away. On return to my country, she sent me a picture of a child in hospital telling me she desperately needs $500US or her son will die. $500US is a lot of short times... Not just the bars girls will try to scam you

[@eduardomaldonado1647]

In pattaya you can still get girls freelancers for about 1000 Baht for short time but the average price is about 1500 baht. Don't rush into getting a girlfriend just have fun. Fun is much cheaper than getting involved with the wrong girl. For the Thirsty guys I recommend get Freelancers for fun only. The guys that are not thirsty take your time and find the right girl. Remember you are the prize. Recommend go to the gym and get yourself in shape, bathe everyday, dress clean. There are many women that are beautiful that run their own small businesses. They are not rich but they do their own gigs.

[@marcusnolte7476]

you basically take your mindset with you, you can't run from who you are. As I (for example) am happy on my own, i could move abroad without the urge for a "relationship". On the other hand a pleasant home and my own means of transportation are crucial to me, both is affordable in Thailand. The humidity and heat is indeed a very important factor though...

[@pats31]

Great video Daz, living the dream is right, great vibes & lifestyle here, have hobbies, stay fit, eat good food, limit the drink & enjoy the girls, what more can a man ask. Have a great xmas.

[@dirkdiggler164]

Sage advice. One word - “Control” This is not a holiday, have a plan B - Because one day one one reason or another you ARE going home. So ideally have a property back there that you can let with a reliable income stream. Consider the effect of inflation, currency fluctuation, and above all the ongoing long term cost of healthcare. I lived in Pratumnak initially for 12 months, and what I learned before committing long term was priceless. Upfront you’ll need a minimum of $6500. No point coming here to merely exist, Thailand is all about living. Budget for a Minimum of $2500 monthly including rent. Spend your money on somewhere nice to live, wake up to something great to look at. As for Thai Women, just beautiful. But like Second hand motors - There’s always another one,just around the corner.! 🙂

[@williamdahl3318]

$2,500 way too bigh! Can easily live comfortably on FAR less (under $2k). Not just existing. Provided you don't behave like a tourist, and party hard every night. Should also have a nest egg sufficient to cover any unexpected emergencies.

Hey, I have been to Pattaya, and I am going there by the end of this month for longer stay.Pattaya is all about business, no money no honey. I have learned the game very quickly by having boots on the ground, now i make the best out of it within reasonable budget but still have a lot fun.I only do short term ( i prefer to sleep alone and not having to be waken up by girl that i hardly know) either thru dating site or via bar if she is attractive, and never repeat the same one. Why buy a cow when you can get a milk for nothing any time you want. I did Lt it 's just waist of money and time. I hope this helps. Be careful outhere.

I have 4 more years at the end of April before i can retire to Thailand but i would be doing baby steps go for a month then go for 3 months then hopefully finally settling down permanently after that, im used to the heat i have lived in Saudi Arabia, Libya ,Cyprus and Kenya for many years when my dad was in the British army and whilst i was in the British army as well, the art is don't go out in the midday sun and stay in the shade as much as possible whilst you are out great advice i have seen these grumpy old ex pat's sitting in a bar at 11am and not leaving until the sun goes down and thats 7 days a week me personally i wouldn't live in Pattaya i would go to a part of Thailand were there is a small percentage of ex pats who don't sit in a bar they have hobbies and live there lives to the fullest Pattaya is a holiday destination which i would still go to 3-4 times a year.
