Thai Story
Fortunately, with some of my predecessors share their wisdom with me as I share my experiences with you, I did not lose much. However, I know the guys who tried to set up their former prostitute girlfriend in a business of their own and I lost a lot of money. Some have succeeded, but they are just a very small percentage – the exceptions to the rule. Much more frequently, the woman fails to do what she said, spending money irresponsibly “as if there was no tomorrow,” the guy and sometimes downright scams.
Listen to these GUYS. Make your own opinion, but do not listen, and look for warning signs.
Hearing many of their stories, I soon see their mistakes from the start, and an excuse to be new to Thailand. On the other hand, I have learned some painful lessons several times in my nine years here. Every time I raised my level to help people.
I really do not be negative, and I hope that my experience was unfortunate, but let me share with you my experiences.
First, unlike some other foreigners, I’m not saying women what to do, or lead ladies too. I do not do that with anyone. For example, when people I interview for a job, I have to see the initiative on their part, and I hire only those who express the initiative.
I am guilty of lowering my standards when it comes to helping a lady get off the streets. I was also wrong to think they enjoy it and try to help me back. The same applies to some of my friends.
Let’s review some of our experiences.
I changed the names to protect the not-so-innocent.
Noot
Noot was smart and had a lot of energy. She could not speak English well and could read and write pretty well, too. It could be by email. Noot dragged through the bars open beer in the air, but I never saw her flirting with men. She talked more with other women, a joker, and people just looked back and forth without any interaction with men. She was a friend who was a little interesting to talk to, but not someone have sex with, and I made it clear that I had no sexual interest in her. (It is pretty nice, anyway, but just not my type.) She expressed that she did not go with men, but she could not get a job to make enough money to support her needs, hes son (foreign father is long gone and she hated him for that) and paralyzed father.
She asked about me, and I explained my business . She expressed interest in helping me, including giving solutions to some problems I had. I was quite impressed. She seemed perfect for a special role. I just had street racing for her to do to start, his first test, but she was happy with that, as she needed a break financial.
She had sold her mobile phone for the money, but had an active SIM card, so I gave her an old mobile phone of mine, and since she was only 78 baht credit, I also have a map charging 300 baht, and gave him a little spending money to eat and usually for several days. (I thought it would take a day to his test.) I told him to wait for my calls.
I immediately sent a text message on her way home that night with a task for the next day. The next day, at the end of the day when I had a little time, I called to see how she does. She had not completed the task, and did not want to talk about the SMS. She just wanted to meet me to talk more about the opportunity to work for me. What did she do that day? She had nothing to report, and pressing the issue, I think she had sitting around the house.
I felt she wanted to meet just to put pressure on me in the face to face for more money. I’ve heard this before. However, I had already invested too much of my time thinking about it, and I wanted some answers to some questions about his past. I noted them on a cushion, preparing for an interview. I had nothing to lose, and if the interview went wrong and she just asked for money when I get my phone back.
I decided to meet in a quiet place outside the bars, and set a specific location in a pleasant cafe. It would be a 30 minute ride to her in traffic.
However, while she complains to meet me halfway. It was a cheap bus ride on a main road from his house, but she complains of a taxi, and in a tone as if she was looking for excuses not to go. She wanted me to come all the way to it. Then, as I mentioned, she just started yelling at someone else, does not give me his attention. I felt violated, and in response my tone was more discipline, indicating to her that if she wanted to work with me, then she would need to be more professional. She lost her self-control and started screaming at me about how I let her down and shouted “f *** you!” Twice in the phone and hangs up. (Ten minutes later, she called me, but I had declined to work with my other employees and did not bother to respond.)
Maybe hes explosiveness is why her boyfriend left her for farang friends (and now ex-friend).
I still feel sorry for her, but she had her chance with me and it blew. There are many other people in this world who I can give a chance to, and are more sustainable, profitable and mutually beneficial.
