One essential piece of advice which was overlooked, is always get a business card from your accommodation, then you'll always know where your room is. I've met many 1st timer's drunk out of their mind's and clueless, as to where their accommodation is.
love the walk and talk videos its like taking a stroll with a mate , as a 20 years + veteran of thai bars , marriage , working etc its all very true everything you said very true , fun to listen to , although now divorced and single i think ill always stick to the three day rule and be a butterfly , pay for play everytime , take it easy se you on the next one
The most shocking cultural norm is that the Ferang man is 10th on the Thai girls list of priorities, so before you empty your wallet, make sure it is for you and not just to fund her family!
Great video, have been living in Pattaya for 6 months now. Your spot on with advice and I certainly made some of these mistakes early on. Keep your money fellas! Side note, would love to connect with you one day to buy you a drink. Your videos were very helpful to me when I was making my move to Thailand. Keep up the great Job Daz.
I enjoy tequila shots with a lady sometimes. Extra few baht. First timers don’t contemplate your sticky money. Buy the lady a shot put a smile on her face and that smile could continue into your hotel. We all here for perpetual smiles 😁 Whatever floats your boat really. Just my opinion. If they want to visit the friends bar or go eat Thai bbq buffet which is delicious definitely go for the new adventure. It’s also to meet new people. I just recently bought cosmetics for a girlfriend in central Pattaya. She repayed me with a surprise wine dinner. That was nice of her. And yes everyone I have dealt with in Thailand have watsapp. You do have some interesting points though. I had a laugh at your jealousy lesson. Cheers
Great advice. I've been traveling to Thailand as a tourist since the early 80s. It is always good to brush up on things to do and not to do. Will be making my first Songkran trip next month. Cheers!
I started to watch video with smile on my face because last month when i was there i bought lady drinks for 3 - 4 girls and went to another bar which my girl chose to drink with her friends :) , i didn't regret it, it was fun anyway. I went to Pattaya many times but i still learn many from your videos. Thank you. Another thing i want to agree with you is they could be extremely jealous.
I was in Central Festival paying for groceries. The prices were comparable to western prices, especially the salad bar. An Australian woman in line with me asked if I had a card and showed hers to me. I assumed it was a discount card for regular customers.
Loved Pattaya in December. Would totally go again... Except I really don't want to do another 15 hour flight... I can't justify paying 3x more for a ticket so I could sit in a fold down seat.. but I want to go back !
Great tips and all worth knowing. Apart from knowing these tips, the lady scene now has changed since the pre-pandemic times. Less of the nicer girls even work in the bars, and the ones that do charge far more than just 3 years ago. Whatever level you are at, it costs a lot more, and for the immediately available girls in bars etc, prices etc are not much different to Europe. If you have time to look around or find someone through a mate or a dating app, that may be different, but in a nutshell, while most Pattaya prices e.g beer or hotel rooms have not experienced much inflation, most aspects of the lady scene have, due various factors, but the main one is supply and demand. Do not expect it to be cheap, because it isn't, not unless you really really know your way around and have time on your side. Then when you do find someone, you have to bear in mind the 3 day rule! And really make your mind up quick to find out what the girl offers and how much she wants, because before you know it you will have spent more on lady drinks than on your evening meal! Basically these girls will fleece you if you give them the chance. It's just business!
Great presentation It just reinforces the fact that one should never pursue a longer term relationship with a working girl. If one is looking for a commitment there are plenty of Thai women who do not work in the entertainment industry but of course there is always drama in any long term relationship anywhere around the world. If one is looking for just fun please follow or 1-3 day rule. And if she wants you to give her more than just the agreed upon amount say you cannot afford it and she will walk off and there will be another tomorrow or even within the next 10 minutes.
Great insights, as always. Thanks for the continuing education... by the time I get there, I might "have a clue" in situations that might otherwise cost me dearly. The cross-cultural implications can never be re-visited enough, and the comments that these types of reviews generate can be an yet another educational opportunity to inform our world view. Keep it comin' Daz. We are in your debt.
Brilliant chat video Daz everything you said was so true.I have been with my Thai partner for 18 years now and they do everything you said especially about the jealousy 😅.sometimes you feel like you need to walk down LK looking at the ground sometimes.but we both go into gogo’s together sometimes and drink 🍺 together and she is my partner and best friend.wouldn’t change her for anything.. but I would love to be a newbie again.completely naive.those days were my best in my life.stay lucky Daz all the best and keep up your tip top work on utube regard Damon 👍🏼
Wow real deep thoughts and first hand advises. Dude.... are you sure you haven't taken extra courses in psychology??? You rock buddy Tkx for sharing the real truth that some TH-camrs ignore. Thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 and thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Daz, you are the best....My best friend from Brisbane Australia. Married a Thai woman her third foreign to him. He loves Thailand and is building two western homes in her poor village in Udon Thani and is buying a holiday home in Pattaya. They all want to go back to their home in Thailand. His father is a very wealthy man in Sydney. She saw the money and never let go. He is a good guy but always used his family money to get his women. LOL😂
Some of my friends & I had a heads up compared to most of my American buddies since there is a big Thai population in my area Because I am 1/2 white & 1/2 Thai.... hahahhaa ! Lot of us went to the Thai functions, Thai Markets, & Waht Thai in my American city. There is an Air Force base in my town & Because of the Vietnam war is how our dads met our mom's .... My mom was the go to lady to baby sit Thai/White kids when the Thai moms had to work the night shifts and the Hubbies were deployed. Most the families I knew while growing up the Husbands were active duty Air Force or same as my dad Retired from the Air Force & working another job.... I think my family Only knew 2 couples that were All white ....hahahhaa... the 50 other Families we knew were a Thai wife with active duty AF husband or retired AF husband just like my dad.....Hahahaha plus living in Florida made the weather comfortable for our Thai Moms.....lol
Many girls who return home does give much of money but they are smart enough to keep some hidden away. But the main reason why many return back to the bar scene is because back home, they are expected to contribute to the household by waking up early and helping out with the farm, cleaning the house and taking care of grandparents or other family members. They are not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol. So after a couple of weeks, they need to leave and tells her family, she needs to make more money.
Thank you so much for these stories and experiences and tips! Really found value in this channel! With Songkran coming up! And my first time visiting, Could you share some of your wisdom about Pattaya during that time? Where to go, what to do, what to expect etc. Thank you! 😊
Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. Great information, very well presented in your video. My own personal experience in Thailand is that GOP is the way to go, in some instances of pay&claim the process took as long a 4 months for my reimbursement. Also, absolutely best to coordinate and confirm with both hospital and insurance prior to procedure. Some hospitals more accepting of GOP than others, my best experiences has been with top shelf Bumrungrad Hospital and also Bangkok Hospital. Some other highly rated hospitals here in Thailand absolutely refused GOP when dealing with a foreign or non Thai based insurance company or required an immediate "deposit" of 150,000 baht from me on admittance. Someone told me many years ago that you only really know how good your insurance company is when you need it or make a claim.
I'm binge watching your videos. yours is one of the most informative on Thailand. yes, some repeated advice but your ladyboy tip at the end is genius! i just subscribed n like all of your videos
Expat from Singapore, been doing Pattaya for years and Daz truly is the oracle. You’re never old or daft enough to learn this stuff. Something that can and will catch you out… More than a few bargirls really love a drink, and can overindulge. Imagine that LT dreamgirl you just coughed up for suddenly became a weary drunk, and guess what? She’s in your bed..! Been there more than once. That’s super weary and a big waste of your wedge. It’s smart to tune into exactly, what and how much she’s drinking.
Hi Daz, while you're at it, explain to the folks about a concept known as "Kreng Jai." If you can do that, then you're a wu li master. If not, you're a beginner. It's actually number one on Thai values and rarely talked about. BTW My understanding of the term "Nam Jai" literally means "Heart Juice" or, in other words, kindness. When I give way to someone in the traffic my wife often says, "Oh, Nam Jai". Same when I buy her and her friends dinner. Peace dude.
Kreng jai is a tricky one. For me it gave the impression of being in awe of someone or of gratefulness but unsure how you can repay that person etc. Of course jai means heart and there are a million sayings involving heart in Thai. Like good heart or black heart but i'm sure you know those. Just thought I;d give it ago seeing old mate didn;t.
This is probably your best video with essential advice and recommendations for any foreigners, especially 1st timers visiting Thailand. I think the priority listing of 10 most important things to a Thai woman is totally correct and extremely important to understand for all foreigners regardless how long they have been in the land of smiles.
@@DanVerwoert1945 the vast majority of thai females would put family (or Buddhism) as number 1. Bar girls might be different but this list talks about Thai girls.”
You have adds?? I didn't know that🤣🤣🤣 Yeah I fell for the whole expecting more to join in thing they both slept on the fold out sofa though damn it. The whole group of girls fantasy thing never gets old🤣🤣🤣
I have never met a woman in the USA who valued a boyfriend above her dog. In fact, if they had to choose between never seeing their dog or their parents again, well, goodbye mom and dad.

Or take a pic with your phone

Exactly I've been about 15 times first time 2004 and I struggle to disagree with one word he ever speaks
Listen to the “Monkey”
He is no stranger to the massage parlors or agogo bars
love the walk and talk videos its like taking a stroll with a mate , as a 20 years + veteran of thai bars , marriage , working etc its all very true everything you said very true , fun to listen to , although now divorced and single i think ill always stick to the three day rule and be a butterfly , pay for play everytime , take it easy se you on the next one

Another good vlog with great information
Thank you Daz. I am in Pattaya right now and this is a good refresher.
Great video! Love these videos explaining Thai cultural norms
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most shocking cultural norm is that the Ferang man is 10th on the Thai girls list of priorities, so before you empty your wallet, make sure it is for you and not just to fund her family!
This vlog is 100 per cent usefull daz you are the main man for all this inportant info 👍👍👍
That last excuse is better than gold. You can use that anywhere. Well worth the time investment to watch this video!
Another excellent video. This was great. Thanks
Daz, appreciate all the good advice you give. Keeps a lot of men from making serious mistakes. I hope they heed your advice. Good video. 👍🏿
Great video, have been living in Pattaya for 6 months now. Your spot on with advice and I certainly made some of these mistakes early on. Keep your money fellas!

love your vids and style,im back in patts after 11 years and its a bit of a shock,luckily some of the old remains
The voice of a teacher + very usefull information, keep up the good work : helping new people to Pattaya. 🎉🎉🎉
i think people should rewatch this multiple times.
Great advice. I've been traveling to Thailand as a tourist since the early 80s. It is always good to brush up on things to do and not to do. Will be making my first Songkran trip next month. Cheers!
That's one holiday I can live without because the farang is always a target. Fine if you don't mind being covered in smelly water.
I just amazed how frank and true you are, my friend😊
Great Show. Lots of useful information to a person that has never
Been to Thailand. Keep it coming. I’m hoping to make it to Thailand some day.
Daz I am looking forward to my first return visit in November.
Since my navy days in 7th fleet.
80s
Daz, another great really informative vid for the less experienced amongst us. Thank you.
Great advice m8, every newbie should watch this vlog, lt should be compulsory viewing on every flight to Bangkok 555
Another great Video!! Thanks for the upload 👍

That girl earned herself a lot of face by throwing your money around.
Useful info, and the girls were described in a nicer way than by most Thailand experts (of various kinds) 👍
I was in Central Festival paying for groceries. The prices were comparable to western prices, especially the salad bar. An Australian woman in line with me asked if I had a card and showed hers to me. I assumed it was a discount card for regular customers.

I loved your advice at the end to get off the hook 😂 I gotta buy you a beer if and when I travel there. 🍻
Throughly appreciate & enjoy the education on the various topics, Thank You!👍👍👍

Absolutely Outstanding. I am really considering gent clubs.
Absolute mind field if you’re not careful by the sounds of it!
Learned a lot, wise words thank you so much, Uncle!
Brilliant video daz very informative 👏
Why would a foreigner get with a Thai girl long term if he comes in 10th on her list of priorities? I can get that here in the west.
Hi great video and thank you for the advice too
Great information- thank you!
Very informative.. thank you very much.
This is an excellent interpretation of Thai culture, perhaps the best I’ve heard!
Many thanks for this complete systematic guide!
A great video, a good balance. Not overly cynical like some, but really useful advice.
Thanks Daz, another video with great information for us newer visitors to Thailand….😊
yea wot a top video. your tone like get resigned to the Thai way is hilarious.
good advice 👍👍
Thank you so much for these stories and experiences and tips! Really found value in this channel!
With Songkran coming up! And my first time visiting, Could you share some of your wisdom about Pattaya during that time? Where to go, what to do, what to expect etc. Thank you! 😊
24:55 "About turn !" LOL
😍😜😛
You are a wealth of information, my friend..! Thank you...!
I appreciate that!
oh Yeah Maaa is from the province Phitsanulok in the city of Phitchit... it's like 2-3 hours north of Bangkok
Always informative, great to see.
I'll be there in April
Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.

Valuable tips for newcomers! I'm grateful for the insight into the culture as well! Sharing this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Everything in this video is truth! I can vouch for it 😅

This guy's great!
Nice vid. Thanks!
Great stuff!

Daz, WTF they be selling @23:32 on the left
Souvenirs
That would leave some splinters(wooden dildo)
Not new beer but right entertaining
Words of wisdom . .. .

I like how the girls put farang boyfriend below the family dog in order of preference
I have never met a woman in the USA who valued a boyfriend above her dog. In fact, if they had to choose between never seeing their dog or their parents again, well, goodbye mom and dad.
Helpfull?, more like invaluable and vital!!!!.

Don't fall on love with the very first girl you meet! It's truly astounding how often this happens 😂😂😂
my friend married the first girl he met in pattaya he's happy
