Man, I thought Bangkok was dangerous because of tuk-tuks and Pattaya because of Soi 6 bar fights—but nothing hits harder than catching feelings for a working girl. One minute you’re in a Sukhumvit massage room thinking it’s just another paid night, the next you’re blowing cash, losing sleep, and realizing the only one getting screwed is you. Happens in Manila, happens in Angeles, happens in Bangkok—guys like us always think we’re the exception. Spoiler: we’re not.
Her name was Dao. Met her in Soi 6, but she was different — sweet, shy, kept texting me outside of work hours. Took her shopping, bought her a phone, even let her stay at my condo. Two weeks later, I caught her blowing another guy in the room I paid for. She smiled and said, “You not my boyfriend, just customer.” That one hit deep.
I started thinking it was real. She cooked for me, stayed every night, even held my hand in public. Then I noticed she had two phones. One for me. One for other guys. Found out she was managing three other farangs like me — rotating stays, cash, gifts. She was making more off boyfriends than sex. I wasn’t heartbroken. I was impressed.
She stayed with me for five nights in a row. We cuddled, talked about her dreams, even had coffee in bed like a real couple. I gave her money “just to help,” not realizing she was seeing other guys the whole time. When I tried to book her again, she blocked me. Took my heart, my cash, and my ego.
I got emotionally played by a Pattaya bar girl. She made me believe I was special, then milked me for rent, a phone, and a visa. She vanished as soon as I left. Sex was amazing—but the heartbreak was worse.
Fell hard for a massage girl in Bangkok. Took her shopping, met her family, thought we were in love. Turns out I was just the latest sponsor in her rotation. The sex was sweet, the betrayal sour.
It was Pattaya, late 2022. I met her at a gogo bar and we hit it off immediately — long talks, genuine laughs, she even started turning down other customers when I walked in. We went for meals, movies, everything. I moved to a nicer hotel just for her. Then I started sending her money. Then she stopped replying. I came back to the bar one night, and there she was — with someone else. Same smile, same moves, like I’d never existed. I lost money, pride, and trust. Lesson learned: it’s a business.
Her name was Bee. Soi 7. She wasn’t the hottest girl in the bar, but she had this energy — real, raw, and vulnerable. We connected fast. I kept barfining her night after night. Thought I was special. She even said “I quit bar for you.” A week later I caught her with another guy at a different bar. Same story, different man. I’d bought her a phone, paid her rent, and even sent money to her “sick mom.” Turns out mom was fine. Got f*ed emotionally and financially. It wasn’t the sex that hurt — it was the stupid hope.
Been there, brother. Met a girl at a beer bar on Soi 7 — sweet, funny, felt different. Took her out for dinners, even paid her rent a couple times. Told myself it wasn’t just about sex… but deep down, I knew I was falling harder than she ever would.
She played the long game. One day she vanished — blocked on Line, gone from the bar, nothing. Found out later I was just one of three “boyfriends” funding her lifestyle. The sex was real. The connection? Probably not.
Hard lesson, but I don’t regret it. Just smarter now.
