You probably get a lot of those, so sorry if I am repeating things in time.
I just came living here in Thailand a couple of weeks ago. I have had my share of (longterm) holidays of course, which do not make me an expert, but I am also NOT stupid (anymore, I guess we all had to learn in the beginning :glasses7: )
I have been reading a few forums the past weeks and just decided to sign up for all of them in time and see what happens.
This one and GayButtonThai, or something like that, seems to be the most prominent regarding gay stuff, so you guys are the first. Could not post on the other one yet, because seems to need to be approved or something.
Anyway, for the time being I prefer to stay anonymous, if you don't mind. As you can see my avatar is not me.
After my extended years of "experience" during holidays and now decided to come and live here in Thailand, I am curious about where and how longterm farangs live here.
I am staying with a Thai woman in Pattaya, whom I have known for almost 9 years and has her own business, with an extra room upstairs, which I could have. Basically free and daily Thai meals, cleaning/washing and all. I have calculated in the past (holidays) how much I use in her place. Comes down to 4-5 bottles of water, 2 home cooked Thai meals and electric/water (no aircon). My best guess is, it cost her between 4000-5000 baht a month.
Keep in mind that any other stuff I buy myself, like coffee, hygiene stuff, milk and so on.
Without get a lot of s..t over me, it has nothing to do with being a cheap charlie, but I like her and her family and they like me. I prefer to live among Thais, then in a condominium with daily drunk farangs and such. I am not interested in the Gay Scene (anymore), been there done that. I just want a relaxing life, with nice people, which this is.
I am thinking of giving her 10.000 baht per month, which should give her an extra 5000 to do as she pleases. Next to that, yes extra stuff like sometimes drinking together at her/my place (on the road), just supermarket prices. Anyway the years of holiday experiences with her has proven that stuff like the extras is almost 50-50 between me and her+associates.
She is the closets "thing" for here in Thailand, in my experience, I could have to a family, yes she is more then a friend. We have done everything together, from happy, drunk, crying, party and much more. Of course the only thing we have NOT done together is the sex thing. I am gay and she is a she.
Well for now, what are you thoughts about it and do you think 10.000 is enough per month.
