a post NOT about pageviews, "retribution" or collective yawns
i posted this on Mongers Lounge and reproduce it here...as SEAJ noted, it's interesting that the same quotes elicit different responses.

i don't agree 100% with this guy, but i DO think his views need to be heard. agree or disagree, give it a think.
i lived in Bangkok, not Pattaya, and i collected plenty of phone numbers and certain ladies (the Red Ant in particular) were invited for sleepovers. and pillowfights.
but i also say learn the local language and culture as much as you can. most of the WGs in Thailand come from poor areas: 5K baht feeds their family or their village for a month. they can't understand why some guy would pay that for a simple sex act, just pulling the cash out of their pocket as if buying a bag of sliced pineapple, and expect them to be impressed. they really DON'T like that, it won't impress them, quite the reverse. maybe i should have just put that one quote in.
if you pay reasonable amounts, demonstrate that while your funds may be limited, the amount of FUN you create is not, you WILL have a great time. i also kept my fridge stocked with snacks, this is important (the Shark says he keeps his stocked with whisky and beer, well, that's his party).
i wanted to spark discussion, but for me the main point is: respect the local culture, which means speaking Thai as much as possible, not overpaying, treating the girls well, providing a fun atmosphere with snacks/drinks/movies as appropriate and not putting up with any BS, but doing it with a smile. if you can manage that you can have an AMAZING time in Thailand.
