ptyrider Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Sigh. No, this hooker set you up and the scam has already begun. Some posters here would say that it's OK to be lied to and scammed as long as you know you're being lied to and scammed, or even if you don't know as long as you can afford it. Maybe they can be happy in that situation forever, but you have to ask yourself whether you can too. Trouble is, small lies and scams almost always lead to larger lies and scams. If you know what has happened to countless other farangs in Thailand, you'll always be worried, rightly so, about the day that she walks out because you can no longer afford or refuse to pay the crazy bills; about being threatened with mafia or police retaliation--or merely a knife--when you want her to move out; about coming home one day to find all your valuables missing; and about her going to the police or lawyer willing to work on commission with the story about how she was your wife (under Thai partnership law) and you beat her up and now she needs a very substantial payoff. Or you may find yourself kicked out of the house you put into her name. She wasn't at the airport before (she wouldn't have been traveling by air anyway), just setting you up for paying a larger amount, and bet she's not in Chiang Mai now. Have you checked at her bar? Apartment in Chiang Mai? With her parents and family there? Ha. There are honest Thais, but you don't find them working in bars or the tourist trade in general. Lotsa luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 TM, I can fully understand having fun and enjoying the companionship with BGs but if you are going to analyze it to the point where you already know the risks involved with these types of girls, why don't you emphasize prevention? If you are looking for a healthy relationship with a lot of growth potential, why do you even bother with BGs? You have an alternative everywhere else in BKK that is NOT a bar environment. There are so many available non-bgs around if you truly looking for a relationship where you don't have to hear stories like you describe. What is the definition of insanity? Wanting to change but keep doing the same thing over and over. I think you know what you are getting yourself into and the odds when dealing with the bar scene. Just accept the consequences that come with the territory and you won't feel as bad. Expect the worst and hope for the best. Then a positive experience with a BG beyond the usual activities can be a pleasant surprise.... Cardinalblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABCinBK Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Tiger Mouth, If you are looking for "value for your money", then you should only pay her for the services rendered, and not for airplane tickets, sick grandmothers, etc. If you are already paying for her ST/LT fees, then anything paid above that would be for the possibility or illusion of something "more real". I would seriously doubt she could suddenly like you too much, after only one paid sexual trist, or that a girl would be seriuosly thinking of going back to her boyfriend if she is calling you unsoliicited on the way to the airport. It is more likely she is digging for farang Baht. And given you knew her for so little time after only one night, why not just foget the whole thing. The risk isn't worth it, there's no reason to check her story out, the possibility of a scam is enough to take off. You are too early in the process to let such a risky situation develop. Of coarse, I am sure there are many reasons to try anyways. Ultimately, they come down to farang really wanting to believe and try. Sometimes, maybe we just want to take crazy chances! Or the Thai atmosphere just makes people nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
