Retiring to Thailand ? What's your plan for company ?

[@roygoad2870]

I’am not a drinker, my best decision was sorted when I just happened to meet a Thai lady that doesn’t drink either. Been here 4 years, I’am too old to bother looking for a different lady. She’s 41 I’am 71 and for me it’s the ideal situation, we are both very happy. She probably saves me money, in the long run, she cooks and looks after me, of course I look after her!

Occasional company is ok ,too much is expensive

[@rickytwotimes1352]

I had a buddy who practiced the "only drink at night time" rule. He would drink heavily until the bars closed at 4 am, dangerously ride his motorbike home and sleep it off all day. By the time he woke up in the late afternoon, it was almost night time again, and he'd start all over. But he was very proud he stuck to his "only drink at night time" rule lol.

I find when I go there I can live just on the extra attention alone I get from women every day when I am out and about and have no need for a relationship with them whatsoever. I would be moving over there for #1 the quality of life #2 cost of living #3 weather #4 food #5 golf and women would be even farther down the list like maybe #8 or #10. One of the few great things about getting older as a man is that you are no longer a slave to your biology like you are up until your late 40s. I didn't make it this far in life to be led around by the nose by some woman half of my age because I am desperate and lonely.

Wise Words. If you decide on 3rd Option don't give to much to start off with because if you start off giving 20000 THB per month + food + other living expenses it mounts up. If your Lady only usually earns 10000 per month working 6 days a week then why double it as she will expect this every month so 15000 should be enough for her to also support her family as well as take care of you. As for having 3 or 4 different ladies over a couple of weeks - Pattaya is a Big City but Trust me they will all find out who the other ladies are very quickly so it's best to come clean straight away - tell them you are a "Butterfly " and its just business arrangement so everyone is happy so when she sees you out and about town with another Lady no drama's or fights. If you got more money than sense or just six months to Live then just go to bars + clubs different ladies every night and die a a Happy Man.

Not drinking beer until sundown is good advice. I have always been able to stick to this regimen in Thai and in neighbouring countries and consequently was never in danger of turning into an alcoholic during my long visits there and expat days. What I would find difficult though, even now as a retiree, is not drinking at all, day in day out, in places like Pattaya. A falung really needs something sedating to help him pass the time during these pumped up tropical evenings as the long day wanes. More importantly, a few drinks will help him cope with the manic vibe in the air, which is at times perilous, at least in the livelier parts of towns like PTY and Ao Patong on Phuket. So then, have a few drinks each day to unwind, fellahs, but don't over do it. Otherwise, you will simply make yourself vulnerable to the local jackals. There's no shortage of these latter in the resort towns, who are perpetually ready to pounce on a drunk.

[@Shaun7638]

Well said and i agree 100%,boozing all day is not a good thing..i never touch it before night time and it is no problem for me..

[@MrGman2804]

I think even leaving it until evening still means being careful. It is probably better to have at least a couple of days off it completely each week. I went dry for 3 years, and I soon felt a lot better for it. Then last year, family drama's, and I started on one or two, which grew. I am 60 now, and my body just can't process it without leaving me feeling lousy. It is a little boring being dry of an evening at first, but in my case it makes the days so much better. When I was on my 3 year wagon, being dry just became normal, and I didn't even think about it. When sober, you begin to notice there are actually quite a few on soda or Heineken zero.

Never invest or spend any money that you can’t easily and I mean easily walk away from. Example: you marry a Thai lady, build a house for her, buy vehicles etc. Marriage ends, she keeps house you shrug your shoulders and say, “Oh well, no big deal ,I can afford the financial loss.” Don’t get officially married where the marriage is recognized by the Thai government. Just have a Buddhist ceremony without the government paperwork. Don’t share your financial details with anyone. Remember, do not spend more than you can easily walk away from!!!!!!! Good luck!

Cheers for the video, Daz. It was very informative! Daz, rumours are flying around about the new tax laws that are going to be introduced. One of them is that savings are going to be taxed if brought into Thailand. Do you have any plans to look into this area or all areas, maybe with a tax expert? As I am approaching retirement age, and this would be a massive issue for me, as I do not want to be taxed twice on my earnings/savings. It would mean not fully moving to Thailand, and just becoming a winter bird, spending < 180 days to get around the issue. I am sure this would be a well-watched video Cheers!

[@everythingPattaya]

No point yet as everything is still up in the air. The Thai Gov screwed up big time with this as it was aimed at wealthy Thais who make money abroad and then bring it into Thailand without tax, however the Gov had no clue the problems it would create with expats, wait until they get their ducks in a row.

Hi Daz, my question is what would be the likely background of girls who are good candidates for the Gik system? Girls from the bars? Or are they likely to be too transactional and greedy to want to be part of a Gik rotation? And if not girls from the bars where would you meet girls that would be good candidates?

[@everythingPattaya]

They are really bar girls who you develop a close tie with and money becomes secondary, but you still need to contribute.

[@2benot2b39]

Great show Daz as usual, however Option 2 - The Gik system is not as easy as you make out, firstly it is designed for Thai men, but if you are a falang it is still pay for play always, there is no such thing as cheap gifts with the odd cheap meal OVER standard pay rates unless you are paying in Gold! ALL the girls are in Pattaya to work to financially support their famalies as a priority and that is via services rendered through ST, and LT options, there are NO other options, you are paying for her to leave until your turn comes again!

Not so, if you are young and look good, I know several young guys who run giks for free, just like Thai guys. If you look over 35, you pay.

Daz I know that you advocate that a guy should get a bar girl over a freelancer. I've seen you say that bar girls are health checked and if there is a problem a guy can take it up to the bar mamasan or bar owner. My question is what will they do about it, if any problems arise? Let's say a guy used safe methods but somehow got a STD. Or the girl steals from the guy. Or the girl cops an attitude and leaves the guy high and dry. What will the bar response be? Pay your medical bills? Pay you for what was stolen? Refund the bar fee and the price you paid her? Will the bar lean on the girl to make things right and if she doesn't will the bar make it right? Those are questions that would be important to know the answers to and I have never seen anyone address them.Thank you.

@@everythingPattaya Thanks for your answer, but if the best is a return of the bar fine, it seems that maybe not even refunded. It's a chump change. if one considers the bar fine, lady drinks and even just ST one could be out an easy 5k baht or more and if the girl takes some expensive jewelry, iphone, or cleans one's wallet that bar fine returned is more an insult than anything else.

I’m watching you walk along a beach. Your words make me think of the market stroll. I’m guessing I was one of early watchers of the original release. Nice that you repeated the information. A shame for the wasted upload.

Thank you Daz for a superb video. There is one thing regarding Giks that I am a little confused about. You mentioned that Giks expect some small gift every so often. Surely Giks want some compensation for their time with you? You mentioned in your video is that Giks are not the same as ST girls. Then what kind of compensation would a Gik expect?

[@everythingPattaya]

Yes, but less that a regular ST girl

[@fredastaire5735]

I understand. Thank you and have a great Christmas and Happy New Year.@@everythingPattaya

@@everythingPattaya ah, a pitty after all these years and just now they flag it…

[@adamhend3211]

What if you run into one of the other Giks when you're out with the one you have chose to spend time with that day.

[@everythingPattaya]

Ha Ha she will probably be with another customer, don't worry.

Butterfly Inc. the only safe way to travel

[@dsouzaranold]

Very good video sir , can you make part 2 where you can inform about business idea and in that if you can get work visa or I mean visa along with that

[@oceanearth2243]

The regular GF is not feasible in Pattaya because she’s here to make serious money in the bar.. How can she do both?

[@Aran002]

That's why you should never take a bar girl as a regular GF, it's a recipe for disaster. Thailand is littered with the bones of farangs who made that mistake.
