About Me

Privacy is a topic that is discussed at length in this book. I have mastered a system whereby I can stay in touch with my family and friends without anyone ever knowing about my little “hobby.” Keeping this common goal in mind, you will find the amount of personal information about me to be limited. But here is what you need to know:

I am on the younger side of “middle-aged,” and I am from the U.S. I had a small but reasonably successful business in the States for many years. I have never been married and I don’t have children. I was with a woman in the U.S. for about a decade and the relationship was far from ideal, which should come as no surprise. Before settling down with my now ex-fiancé, I was reasonably successful with women, but certainly no Casanova. About five years ago, I bought a house with this woman and we were planning our wedding. She drove me crazy, but I was excited to start a family. A year later she was gone, my house was gone, my parents were gone, my youth was gone, and my business was in trouble… It was the perfect shit-storm.

Following that was a year during which I tried to put my life back together. Feeling lousier than I’ve ever felt, I remember sitting down one day and literally mapping out the steps to get back to some level of happiness. My plan was to solidify my business and even get a part-time job to get my finances together. I also planned to start going to the gym, and re-do my wardrobe a bit. I was going to start hanging out with the guys again, start dating, meet a girl who would treat me a lot better than my ex, and start a healthy relationship that could blossom into marriage. I was ready

and nothing was going to stop me, right? I really did try, I swear I did. But the reality was me being home alone almost every night. I found it nearly impossible to meet a girl while my personal bills and my business overheads were rising to a point of causing me terrible stress. It was impossible to find time for the gym because of the added hours of work I needed to put in to make ends meet. And hanging out with the guys? My friends were are all so bullied by their wives or so stressed out about their own finances that I was lucky if I got a night out with a friend every two months. And when my single friend and I did go out a few times, it was a lost cause. Being surrounded by young people and young women was just a twisted tease to us because we had no shot. They belonged to the happy young guys we used to be who hadn’t been beaten down by Western Society yet.

So there I was: an overweight, financially troubled, stressed, physically and mentally unhealthy aging man. My best attempt at putting my life back together was a terrible failure and I was flat-out depressed. I was beginning to accept that my best years were behind me and I barely had enough energy to make new plans. My life consisted of working, taking care of my dog, watching TV, and feeling bad for myself. My bleak future was impacting me mentally. “Oh, that’s what an anxiety attack is,” I told myself.

One of my very best friends was divorced a handful of years before all of this. His entire life fell apart, and at a certain point he stopped answering phone calls from any of his friends. For a few months I played the part of a good friend and made every attempt to help the guy, but he wasn’t interested in being helped and I hadn’t talked to him in years. At my own rock-bottom, my friend called me. It had been a long time and I was very happy to hear from him, but something was different; he had so much energy, he was so upbeat and in such a great mood! I said, “What the hell happened to you?” He wouldn’t even talk about it on the phone but demanded that we go out for drinks to catch up. Little did I know this encounter would have a more profound impact on me than any moment before it in my life.

So we met at a popular chain restaurant/bar and he immediately says, “Mike, you look like shit.” I told him everything that had happened to me over the last two years and it felt good just to get it off my chest. It’s not like I could afford the $200-per-hour shrink visits, so this was the first time I really let it all out.

I said, “Enough about me. You look like a million bucks. You must have met someone.“ He put down his beer and gave me the most sincere smile I have ever seen out of the man and said, “Mike, I went to Thailand for a month back in March and I just got back from spending another two weeks there.”

And that was it. It really was as simple as that. Yes, we talked for hours that night about Thailand, but he had me at the first line. This man was glowing; he was BACK in every way and I was as happy for him as I was envious. So the minute he said “Thailand,” I was sold. I was going to check this place out and see it for myself, no matter what. I was a desperate man so what could I lose?

He told me he was going out there again in six months and that we should go together, but I couldn’t wait that long; I was falling apart and I needed some sort of help immediately. I left for Thailand a month after seeing my friend that night. Then, two weeks later I came back and I began to make piles of things I would sell, things I would store, and things I would take with me… because I was moving to Thailand!

Thailand immediately changed my life, and the best thing about it was that the metaphorical chains I was in were forever broken, and I was free to be the man I had always wanted to be and always should have been.

So just a couple of years later, as I write this, I am proud to say the following ten things about myself:

1) I have had more loving relationships with women in thirty months than any of my friends have had in their lives x 2, and that’s being conservative. I literally fall in love all of the time.

2) I have been with more beautiful women in thirty months than all of my friends will ever be with in their lifetimes, combined.

3) I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I am considerably healthier than I could have ever dreamed about being. My hair even grew back! I have never looked or felt this good.

4) I have no debt and hardly any bills; I’ve forgotten what financial stress is like. I can live ten

times better here than I did in the U.S., and for a tenth of the cost. In Thailand I am set for life financially, and it didn’t take much for that to be the case.

5) My relationships with friends and family have never been better. I have re-connected with so many of my old friends, and when I visit the States there are never enough days to see all of the people that want to spend time with me. They’re all so intrigued by my transformation and by my adventures!

6) Whenever I am back in the States I get laid frequently and easily. In fact there have been a number of women who want to visit me in Thailand and even move in with me there. Of course I always say no, but boy the tides have turned! Women can pick up that there is not a single desperate bone in my body and they are attracted to this.

7) I have taken up countless new hobbies such as wind surfing, water skiing, hiking, biking, kayaking, kickboxing, and golfing. These hobbies are all so cheap here and the scenery can be breathtaking.

8) I have the social life of a popular 18-year-old. I’m able to have nights out with the guys, take women out, or have people over for dinner as frequently as I can manage. Of course I still have the most incredible wild nights one can imagine whenever I get the urge, and that can be done any day of the week for about the same price as buying a pay-per-view boxing event at home. Additionally, when a friend comes into town to visit me they have the time of their life, and I enjoy myself as I always do.

9) I have zero stress in my life now.

10) I am so thankful and so happy to be able to live this lifestyle, and I thank God nearly every day for this blessing.

What does my experience mean to you?

I found happiness in Thailand very quickly. Considering the position I was in before I came here, and knowing that there were currently tens of millions of men who were in a similar position, I began outlining this book early on, feeling compelled to help other people. So this collection of facts, tips, tricks, and experiences has taken years to put together, and it is far and away the greatest work of my life in every way.

I was happy from day-one in Thailand, but it took serious work to reach the pinnacle of my life where every aspect of my being is efficient, healthy, and happy. From point A (me crying on my couch in the U.S.) to point Z (me being on top of the world in every way in the most beautiful place in the world) was a process that took years of trial and error. For you, there will be no trial and there is no reason for error. The steps are laid out for you to follow and be as happy as you could have ever imagined, and that is whether you intend to come to Thailand on holidays, for extended holidays, or for good.

I have quasi-interviewed hundreds, and more likely thousands of people from all walks of life here in search of the best information that exists. I have asked the questions nobody else has. And I have asked them to every type of personality you’ll find here, including rich tourists, rich ex-pats, poor expats, budget tourists, bar girls, lady boys, hookers with more money than most foreigners, the most beautiful women in town, street walkers, drug addicts, bar owners, Russian escorts, shop owners etc. I have talked to and questioned every type, and I’ll give myself credit for being good at getting honest answers from everyone across the board. I have also conducted hundreds of experiments with the notion of adding any pertinent information to this book that might be out there.

There is no stone left unturned and there is nothing I am leaving out. Regardless of your goals in Thailand, this book will help you in every way from the minute you start thinking about your next stint here (however long that may be) and beyond. It will certainly go too in-depth for many people on some topics, so feel free to skip around the book. I would rather have too much information than not enough.

My dilemma

“Mike, you can’t honestly try and tell us that you’re doing this just out of the goodness of your heart!”

There are a lot of factors that I’ve considered over time when it came to weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of writing this book.

Advantages:

1) I will pick up extra cash by selling copies each month.

2) I am changing people’s lives in an extremely positive way.

3) I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing a book.

4) I have an excuse to do crazy things here in the interests of the book.

Disadvantages:

1) The costs of making and marketing the book, as well as for conducting my experiments for the book, are high and I may never break even.

2) The time I put into writing this is significant. I’ll never be fairly compensated for this time.

3) The more people I give this information to, the more competitive I make things for myself here

4) This is not a book I can ever show to my friends and family, and it will not be a part of my legacy. It may do a lot of people a lot of good, but it will mostly go uncredited.

So when I line those up, I guess it’s pretty even. At times I think the disadvantages start to tip the scale, especially when I’m at home writing on a beautiful day when I could be out on the beach with a beautiful Thai girl.

I thought about the pros and cons, but ultimately there never was a decision making process, because I always felt compelled to do this from the moment I conceived the notion. It is simply something I had to do, and once I’d started it I certainly wasn’t going to stop. As I write this I have already put in so many hundreds of hours outlining and making notes for each section of what is to follow, and in doing so I can honestly say that this whole process has made me reflect on every aspect of my life and life in general. This has helped to strengthen all of my abilities and my perception of things. So although it might be difficult to specify or quantify the personal benefits of creating this, they exist. There is no doubt that the process has been more enjoyable and fulfilling 11 | P a g e than anything I have been a part of.

My Disclaimer

It is very important for me to leave no person feeling that they aren’t part of the “proper demographic” for this book. That is why it is so in-depth and so detailed. But there is a big difference between a nice guy who wants to meet a sweet and innocent country woman in Thailand, and a party animal who wants to come here and do things that he’ll never be able to talk about with his family and most of his friends. There is unbelievable information for you in the pages ahead, regardless of where you fall on the party-animal scale. Remember, no stone left unturned; I tackle every aspect of every topic. So I will mention yet again that you can feel free to skip around, and I understand that not every section will appeal to every reader.

Who is this book for?

This book can be of use to any man between the ages of 18 and 90. That may sound like a leap of faith on my part. It’s understandable why a middle-aged or aging, single or divorced man with no children or older children would want access to this information, but why would a married man, or a young man, or a man with young children want to read this book? The simple answer is that every man deserves to know what life could be like in a better world.

I believe you can make Thailand your own personal paradise, and many people agree with me. This is no longer possible for most people in Europe or in North America. The economic climate has forever changed in these places, and so has society. Is it a secret that women in Asia treat men well or that women in the West don’t? Is it a secret that no amount of money seems like enough anymore? The quality of life for the average man just isn’t the same as it used to be, and it’s only getting worse. People have to work harder and for more hours just to make the same money, and only to watch as food, gas and entertainment fees double and triple. Women have every advantage when it comes to relationships, and especially if there is a “divorce” involved. If you’re not rich and you’re not Brad Pitt, can you marry the most beautiful girl in town? Can you even talk to a pretty lady in a bar without feeling incredibly awkward and out of place?

You’ve read this far so it’s safe to assume that you know Thailand has a lot to offer that your home town does not. Whether you are contemplating a dream vacation, an extended and annual or semiannual trip, trial relocation, or permanent retirement, I have you covered. This book contains everything you could ever want to know about how it works here, why it works here, and thousands of tricks and tips to help you get everything you deserve out of every dollar, pound, or baht.

If you’re young you owe it to yourself to spend some time here before you get crushed by Western Society. You will never be the same and you’ll be much more successful with women and in life, even just after a few weeks spent here. You’ll see how far money can really go and you’ll see just how WANTED you are by many women (especially Thai girls). Your perspective will change and you’ll value money and you’ll value yourself in a very healthy way.

If you’re older and you have a little money, you can live the most luxurious lifestyle ever imagined, and you’ll own the town.

If you’re on a budget, there are hundreds of money saving tips in this book. Thailand can be so cheap as long as you avoid the tourist traps that are thoroughly discussed in this book. You can have the ultimate vacation here for a lot cheaper than you think. And if you are planning on spending a lot of time here or are already living here, this book should help you to increase your quality of life while cutting your budget in half. Even the most seasoned Thailand veterans will find useful tips and tricks scattered all throughout the book.

If you’re unsure if Thailand is for you, as somewhere for a vacation or an extended stint, you will soon figure out your next step. I give you the good, the great, the bad, and the ugly; it’s totally unfiltered. I’m not trying to sell you on Thailand (Thailand sells itself), I’m only giving you every piece of information you could ever need to know to get the most out of your experience here in every way.

If you’re married but unhappy, find a way to come here. Tell her you’re going to China for a week, and when you arrive in China pay for a flight to Bangkok in cash. Recharge your batteries here so you can go back to your old life refreshed, OR use your time here as a stepping stone to start a new life.

If you intend to spend one or two weeks here you have no time to waste experimenting. Read this cover to cover by the time you land, and you won’t need to waste a single baht or hour experiencing anything other than the best this country has to offer. If you’re looking for love, I will tell you everything you need to know about what to look for and what to look out for. You can find your soul mate here, but if you’re not careful you can become a victim. I explain how to put the ball in your court so you can get the right woman and begin a healthy relationship with her.

If you’re gay or curious I have a section for you as well. It’s fascinating how open this place is sexually, and if you’re having a rough time with your sexuality in the States, I have the information you are looking for. There isn’t a section of any book that covers any gay-friendly information like this. If you’re not gay, you can just skip this section, but you may find it interesting.

If you’re interested in opening a business here you will find this book to be an invaluable resource. I provide practical information and statistics for you as well as the do’s and don’ts.

If you’re depressed, unsatisfied, or unhappy, the plan you can make as a result of reading this book is the solution.

If you just want to do crazy things very cheaply with a lot of beautiful Thai women who all want you to marry them, then rest assured, you are reading the right book.

How to use this book

This is not a novel you have your hands on! There is no plot, no character development, and no surprise ending. It’s simply the most extensive insider guide to Pattaya and Thailand in existence. You can certainly read it from front to back as most people do, but you can also feel free to skip around based on the topic headers that interest you most. Either way, it should become your handy reference guide, and you can use it as a tool indefinitely.

Locations covered

Most of the information in the book applies to all of Thailand, but in the interest of being thorough, I have added specific sections for separate places, which all include comparisons in terms of price, quality of women, etc. I discuss Pattaya, Bangkok, Chang Mai, and Phuket, in addition to a few other popular destinations. Living in Thailand for years, I have been to each of these places many times and I have interviewed lifers there. This is in addition to a tremendous amount of research that I have done across the board. I have you covered, whether you’re coming to Phuket, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya or you’re just bouncing around. I also mention other places of interest in Thailand such as Koh Samuit, Koh Chang, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Yai, and Krochanaburi, with the details you need to know about each.

“Why Pattaya?”

Thailand is an amazing place from top to bottom and there is something unique about each of its islands and cities. People never finish exploring Thailand for this reason. Living here I have made it a point to visit every place worth my time, but I always come back to my home base, Pattaya. Pattaya has a reputation for being a bit sleazy and for the beach not being clean. Good! This reputation is what keeps it from being too highly populated with foreigners (farang). Don’t get me wrong, there are still a lot of farang here, but the #’s are overwhelmingly in our favor, meaning there are still way more of them (Thai girls) than there are of us!

There is simply no other place in the world that is like Pattaya. Here you will have the opportunities that people don’t think exist, and at prices that people shake their head at. There is a very nice beach five minutes away (10 baht by “baht bus”) called Jomtien, and there is a spectacular beach island called Koh Larn which is a quick 30-baht boat ride away from the pier. Did I mention that Pattaya has more available women than any other location in the world? Or that if you walk for a few minutes you will see what it’s like to be George Clooney? Some people say it’s Disney Land for men, but when I was a child, Disney was never even close to this much fun.

More than that, Pattaya has something for everyone. Great food, great shopping, Western restaurants, suburban sections, modern malls and movie theatres, water sports, and everything else you could ever want are all easily found. You get a little bit of everything, and its one of the cheapest tourist-friendly places in the world. The nightlife can be as wild as any, but you can go to nice restaurants away from the craziness anytime you’d like.

I think Pattaya makes for the premier “guy-only vacation spot” in the world, and I also think it’s a superior place to live. It’s close enough to Bangkok (120 baht by bus, 1,000 baht by taxi); Jomtien and Koh Larn give it some beach character; and it’s not terribly far from Koh Chang which is a fantastic island.

There is a good chance if you’re reading this that I don’t even need to convince you to make Pattaya a priority on your list of places to go. You are probably well aware of this gem, and if you’re not then make sure you check it out for yourself.

Pattaya girls can also be a handful compared to other Thai women, so it’s important you know some basics before getting involved with them. Whether you just have a couple of days here or you live here, I have all of the information you could ever need about Pattaya and Pattaya girls. I delve into areas that have never been discussed at length in print before.

Questions

I also wanted to have a special feature for my readers that would take interaction to a whole new level. I know I didn’t miss a beat in this book, but there are so many different types of people out there and it’s possible that you have a question or two that the book does not cover. For this reason, any of my customers can email in a question or two and I will sincerely try to give you the best possible answer or solution.

When you bought this book you received a confirmation code. Email info@thaigirlspattayagirls.com and be sure to put the confirmation code from your purchase in the subject. In the body, include your questions. All of my customers get one good crack at a Thailand and Pattaya expert. Thailand girls, Pattaya girls, business… You can ask me anything!

Competitors/Other books

I realize that there are other books out there and it is very important to me to bring a lot to the table that none of these do. Many of the books you’ll find were written five years before this one. Pattaya and Thailand has changed so much in the last few years that these older books are obsolete. But most importantly I noticed that none of my competitors have been as thorough as potential readers would want, so I have covered that shortfall for you. I give you ten times more tricks, more examples, and more information. As such, this resource is more valuable to you than all of the competition combined.

This may be the most important chapter of the book, but it’s often overlooked because most men just assume that because they’re paying, they can do no wrong with a Thai girl. I understand this is how it should be. You’re paying for a Thai girl’s time so it should be about you and your enjoyment and there should be no thought process. But just how much fun you have with a particular playmate will often depend on how you handle yourself with her from the first impression and going forward. Are you going to be a chore or a job to this girl, OR is she going to fall in love with you on the spot and hope that you change her life? Certainly you have the control for either scenario in most situations, as long as you know what to do.
