Paul’s life story: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qp2ZgZx70dbFdGg.html

Perhaps the Monetization for this video could buy Paul a set of dentures

"You can take the girl out of the bar, but you cannot take the bar out of the girl". Very true. Paul speaks the truth.

I appreciate Paul's candor and willingness to openly talk about his experiences.

what a straight talking bloke. very refreshing to have no ego, just truthful information the way he's experienced it. if there was more openness around the world when talking about these sort of subjects then the girls could probably be better protected. same thing is happening in every country with different degrees of visibility, it'll never go away so why not get it out in the open and make it safe for everyone?

Having lived in Pattaya for 25 years. I married a bar girl I have a lot bar girl friends, I would say Paul is right on about everything. Thanks for bringing light to the sex trade. Some girls have very sad lives and many die at a young age. It really Fxxks up the girls. If lucky they find a price before they are in the biz to long. Excellent video Pete. Loved every second.

You have found GOLD my man !!!! This guy is one of the BEST story tellers I have EVERY heard! I could listen to him for HOURS! Please tell him he NEED to write a book on his life experiences cause I would buy I in a second!!! That story he told about the girl jumping to her death and the Japanese guy showing up the very NEXT day was one of the SADDEST things I have EVER heard! This man is an entertaining WEALTH of knowledge! What a life! Thank you for sharing him with the world! Please tell him we absolutely LOVE his stories! Respect! 🤔👍🏾

Thailand is one of the cheapest places to have full teeth. The cost of dental care in Thailand is significantly lower than in many other countries, including the United States, Canada, and Europe. For example, a full set of porcelain veneers in the United States can cost upwards of $20,000, while in Thailand, the same procedure can be done for as little as $5,000

An accurate summary of the life of bar girls in Thailand. He did, however, leave out the ones that are sent to this work by their parents so that their parents can benefit from their daughter's earnings. More common than most will admit to.

It is true about ex bargirls leaving the bar behind, in my hometown in Australia, there was a woman who ran a small Thai shop in a food court. There was something about her that made me think she was an ex-mamasan. I struck up a conversation with her, and she shared with me that there were ex-bar girls married to Australians who couldn't settle down. These women would often divorce their husbands and spend all the settlement money they received on gambling. While I was eating, a very attractive and tall girl entered the shop. She spoke to the woman in Thai and then left. The shop owner, who was previously a mamasan, informed me that the girl had received stacks of jewellery from a local criminal. She ended up pawning the jewellery to fuel her gambling addiction, and now the criminal is searching for her.

Paul is just an absolutely fascinating guy, your interview style just seems to bring the best out of him. Great work again Pete.

Not one word about HIV in most of those video's. Finally someone who talks about it.

This man speaks the tooth

This is actually a really good and interesting video/interview. An interviewer who knows it’s best to let your subject speak. Often the most articulate and interesting people are those with nothing to hide - completely comfortable in his own skin.

This was a super good interview. So great ups and downs, very raw and real. Loved it, thanks. Cheers.

So far I haven't met an expat that has been in Thailand longer than myself. I know of some that have been here longer but never met them. I first came to Thailand in 1968 as an GI on R&R from Vietnam twice. However I was stationed in Saigon and unlike must American GI's I was having a ball in Saigon and found the Vietnamese women more beautiful than the Thai girls. During my time in Vietnam I feel in love with Asia and wanted to see more of it. I got a job when I got out of the Army making cars on a assembly line and a year later 1969, I was in Thailand with a back pack I wanted to go back to Vietnam but the war was going on. Having studied art in America I was able to get into Silapakorn University having a student visa I had the time to travel all over Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. However, my founds were limited but at that time the girls were 20-100 baht so I managed. After a year I realized that Thailand was where I wanted to live but my problem was money. To solve that problem I returned to the U.S. and using my GI bill went to my State University (LSU) and got a degree in Engineering. 4 months after graduating I got a job in Vietnam for 6 months then moved to Bangkok where I got a job with a American company with an oilfield construction project in New Guinea working 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off. Finding a house to rent in Bangkok I used that house for 8 years starting in 1972. From that New Guinea project I went on to working in Africa, Middle East, Indonesia and Thailand. Did not get married until I was 51 and then to a Thai girl 24 years younger than me. She was better educated than me having a Masters degree in Pharmacy Administrations from the U.S. (I have a bachelor's degree) . We have been married 25 years and have a 16 year old son. I made good money while working and most of my work was in remote areas so I lived in camps when I was single and my company paid for everything, housing, food, transportation etc. so I managed to save alot of my earnings not having a wife until I was 51 ment I was well off and marrying to a pharmacist ment I had married an asset not a liability. I retired 9 years ago my wife due to her education is no longer a pharmacist but a division manager with one of Thailand's largest health care provider that not only pays her well but provides free heath care for both me and our son. So how did that happen? Mostly having priorities and sticking to them. I am now 76 in perfect health, stopped all the bad habits smoking, drinking and whoring when I got married.

That tooth is also living on the edge. 😅 Great interview. Interesting stories.

I had a period in my life where I was addicted to strip clubs and it was the most depressing period of my life. I think the life of a sex tourist must be unbelievably bleak

Gotta be one of.. if not the best interview you’ve done Pete!? I’ve watched this now numerous times and I’m always glued to every word Paul says. Such an intriguing, interesting character with some of the greatest stories to tell! All the interviews you have done with him are top notch. And you must be super made up with the views and likes they have received? Top man for bagging the legend that is Paul fella! 🙏🏻👍🏻

I've spent 30 years on and off living in Thailand, I'm now retired here for 10 years, Back in 2000 I was partying in Bangkok 75 baht to the pound and I was working in the Uk making a fortune the same as Paul I lost count the girls I partied with but exactly the same as him I played the Game no bullshit, no shortchanging no false promises just great times together and always made friends with the girls beyond doubt the happiest times of my life............. Take it from me I was a partner in a Bar for 10 years and Pauls's description is spot on, the falang bar scene, back in those days was a subculture, and none of the guys I knew were interested in marriage just good old-fashioned Rock and Roll.

"Too Much Analysis Leads to Paralysis" .. Ive been going to Thailand for 20 years and lived there for a total of 6. The dynamics are continuously changing through the different generations of bargirls. Plus things differ in different regions. Interesting to hear his experiences. Thanks for rhe vid and stories. "Enjoy the Moment"

Recently found your channel through the Tim Newton interview, watched the one with Bryan as well and now watching this one it definitely resonates with me. About to watch the Tony Huge interview after this but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing these stories and giving people new perspective through your content

Please make a second part , such a great insight!

Great great interview Pete. Love Paul’s storytelling. The topic is so fascinating to me and I’m so glad to hear from him about these girls’ sides of the story. I think some of Western culture doesn’t understand how hard it can be in 3rd-world countries and that these girls are just trying to make a living and initially help their family. It’s great that he’s given them a voice and I’m glad you Pete are sharing this interview with us all.

I have been going to Pattaya for the past 15 years, and the man is on target. Thanks for sharing your insights and stories.

What an amazing conversation and insight. Loved it. Thanks

Paul knows Thailand he speaks nothing but facts and tells such a good story...thanks for introducing the world to him Pete!

Paul is an absolute treasure of the bar/sex industry. He's been there, done that. Such an insightful interview Pete. Thanks, and all the best to Paul.😊

Time well spent for me. Thank you.

Seriously your content is excellent 👍 The person you decided to interview knows the art of how to tell a story, very engaging individual.

I am Thai and My family also poor we are working on the farm and not making much money but we have no options, and I’m sorry to disagree with you about they were poor, It’s just an excuses they’re just want the easy and good money for it. That’s the truth!!

Ole 1 tooth is a master story teller and those stories are pretty much similar to the stories I have from living in Vietnam for a decade in the past. A cast of characters you just can't find at home in Boredville Australia. Drugs of choice with hired comfort ladies always make a great story. 👍 Great job Paul you are a legend🤙🤙🤙🤙

He paid the girls a tooth a year

VERY interesting AND insightful interview!

Hi Pete, it's very wonderful that you have made an amazing interview with Paul. Please make many more interview with Paul. I've watched all the video related to Paul and it is very very very staggering! He game me a second chance feeling as if I'm listening a life experience story from my grandpa that have passed away 5 years ago. He gave valuable life lessons and experience too. All the best Pete for the upcoming video! and if you're reading this Paul, I wish you and your family well too, and be blessed with great health so that you can live longer than my grandfather (100 years).

Tks Guys, first time to Thailand, got bar girl pregnant, returned to Thailand, brought her back to America, married her, our daughter was born in the USA. Her Thai friend in our town was dating a powerful attorney. In court I lost everything, my house my car and was told to leave the house and pay her child support and pay her attorney's fees. I was devastated, this was my only child, the house had been in my family for 40 years, I was married for 6 months, lost it all. I told the judge she was not a little flower; she spoke more languages than I did. While in court to wrap up the divorce, while sitting outside waiting for the Judge to return, the court bailiff, heard her attorney say to my x wife, stop speaking English in the court room. He went and told the judge what he had heard, the judge called her and my attorney into chambers, she was furious, and said the kid is telling the truth about her. The judge gave me full custody of our 6-month-old child, her mom could only visit our daughter while under state supervision. She got a new boyfriend, lived with him, during a fight she threw pot of boiling water at him, he called me and was in tears, he flew her back to Thailand, I have not scene her since then, for 16 years not one word about how her daughter was doing, then out of the blue she called and said, I married a man from Norway, he is a millionaire and they had a daughter. I can not tell you how angry I was, hurt. Now that time has passed, I raised my daughter she is 26 years old, best thing to ever happen to me. The hate has gone away replaced with sadness, her mom grew up on the Thai Border, during the Khmer Rouge time, the things she saw and experienced has left deep scars, her current husband is a decent guy, helped her with depression, therapy, I think back and would do it all over again, being a father is the best, hardest thing ever to happen to me. SE Asia has its spell on me still, moved to Cambodia when my daughter was 6, ran a little dive boat business, have been back 5-6 times, and as recently as 2022. I appreciate your talks, have watched this channel for some time, great job, Cheers. Pop,s Fl.

Honest and insightful and without judgment. An excellent interview and excellent storytelling.

Great part of the interview at 9:00 with a stellar follow up question by Pete requesting elaboration demonstrating phenomenal interviewing skills.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. Great interview.

Epic interview. Well done.

What a great interview. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your story. I have to say your story about sex workers is different from what I know. Your story showed different angles of these poor girls. I am involved with ministry that helps woman who are trapped in sex trade. A lot of them came from poor families. Some are single mothers who are abandoned by their husbands. Some of them have abusive husbands or boyfriends. A lot of them have drug problems. The saddest part is that some of them are still children. Thailand is one of the countries that can't do anything much about sexual child exploitation. I hope there will be a big change with the new government in term of laws reform regarding this issue. I pray that God will bring light to this darkness in my beloved country 🙏

Thank you for this honest interview 😊

Fantastic insights from Paul. I've been to Thailand and to the bars there and I always wondered how the bar girls go about their lives. Feel really sad for the girls there.

THAT WAS A GREAT EPISODE!!

Wow. Such a powerful and thought provoking interview. Thank you so much to both of you for discussing this hard to discuss topic. Absolutely epic. Thanks Pete and Tony!

What an excellent interview!

Only managed to watch this one now Pete and Paul, very interesting and also nice to see you guys on the livestream last night, I hope it will become a regular thing with Paul occasionally featuring too!

This guy is a great storyteller.

Great interview. Paul seemed honest and forthcoming

First-time viewer, very interesting, great interviewing style 👌

Thanks for your honesty Paul. And thank you for being a man amongst many so called men that don't even know that there is magic in respecting and feeling for others. Because when you have those qualities the magic and the enjoyment follows and comes naturally.Watching this video reminded me of the magic and enjoyment i experienced back in the day because of those same qualities. Once we were Kings amongst Queens. Salute brother and all the very best.

25:55 Very good interview with Paul. Excellent insight for anyone going to Thailand for the nightlife. Went for the first time last January and had a great time. Be nice, respectful and upfront is key. Met some great people while was there and remain friends with a few to this day. Getting to know the Thai culture a bit will go a long way as well.

I had a relationship for few months with a girl in Pattaya, thinking she was different, and my life became a nightmare, lies after lies about her fake real work (shop online she said like everyone), lies about university (never done), sending me fake pics of hospitals to get my money (from google, like i am stupid), caught her on dating apps looking for customers (several accounts), chatting with farangs on whatsapp during our holiday with me (german men), asking money for family and was for herself (she had big debts). I tried to give her advice and help on find a good job, study more or meet good friends and people, she was too lazy and always rejected my help to be a better person. She spent her days getting drunk, waking up at 12, playing youtube and asking money. Now is over, luckily for me. I wonder how men can take in their countries girls like these, or send monthly salaries. They just complain about everything, and i am not taking home a lier, prostitute or problematic girl. Lesson learnt!

Wow what a brilliant interview makes a change to see a proper chat for a change I’m glad I clicked on it thank you I enjoyed that

Just wow. What an absorbing yet sobering interview!

Wow... This was really eye opening interview

Great & honest interview, saw a lot of Thailand back in the 90's & completely agree with what Paul says. It's great to hear it described from the girl's point of view, so to speak.

Great interview , Paul has got a good handle on the situation. The bottom line is treat everyone with just a little bit of respect.

Thanks for sharing your story and wisdom 🙏🏼

This guy has definitely a level of realization. Thank you for bringing him on KZfaq

Too bad its not a longer interview. So very true what he has to say. God have mercy, Thailand Paul

One of my fave thairish story tellers!

Excelent interview, thank you Paul

Great interview and interviewer. Thanks for just letting him speak.

Really interesting interview guys thanks.

Too sad. One time I went in the bars met this young women with three children whose husband had been killed so she was there crying her eyes out. 'What can I do?' she was asking me. "I must feed my children.' But she didn't go ahead with that work but found some advertising work. I only pray she is alright now.

This is great interview, and actually it's very very accurate for that industry. Having lived in Thailand for many years and knowing the environment he talks about, many people in the bars etc. everything he said is spot on how it is. Its an intriguing world to dip into.

Fantastic podcast. Great guest.

I believe he’s telling the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth.

I always enjoy listening to paul. Hope yourself and your lovely wife are after settling into life in Ireland. I'm 12 years happily married to a thai lady myself and we have a gorgeous little 7 yr old. Life in Ireland is treating us well and of course we look forward to our holidays back to Thailand 🇹🇭🇮🇪👍

I really enjoyed that. Paul is a great story teller and you can tell he has had a fascinating life too.

I’m only halfway through, but incredible interviewing bro 🙏🏾 you’ve earned my sub 👍🏾 keep at it!

Excellent interview with great insight into the World of sex workers. An honest and great perspective from an ex-pat that has lived there for such a long time and knows the ins & outs of this topic. Thank you for your presentation.

great interview.. Paul is awesome

Great interview

Human honesty gives so much dignity ❤❤❤❤❤❤ brilliant conversation

Another great episode with Paul, amazing guy with an incredible life experience! Were you back in Thailand to record it? Or pre recorded?

Thankyou for the great experience hearing you - All you said is 100% True - Nowadays its a totally different game though with the Online Social Media thing - Most girls work through Online Apps making it easier for them giving them more opportunity - Thats why you see all the girls constantly tapping on their phones whether its in the street - at your hotel room - in the clubs - in the bars - its a Game-Changer and thats why the bar business that used to work before is having a hard time and will soon be done and dusted and expired - The Online social media stuff has given the tool for the Girl to be a freelancer not needing mamasans and bars and gogos ! Thanks again I must admit that you really touched me DEEPLY when you said that story of the japanese guy and the thai girl that cut short her life from the balcony .... I had tears in my eyes honestly hearing that - Godbless and take care both of you !

Honest man. Invaluable information. Great storyteller.

Pete did you return to Thailand for this interview? Or was this one recorded a long time ago? Nice chill and serene location. Time sure flies when Paul is reminiscing!

I can see why they like you, Paul, you seem like a great guy with a lot of empathy. Great company in a relaxed setting like Thailand.

Great interview, thank you for sharing your unique perspective on the Thai bar-sex life

I have been here 35 years, and this bloke sounds sounds genuine

Great video. He was very honest and that’s what made it great. I too had lived in Asia many years. Mainly in the Philippines. Everything he said was true. All of it. I too had taken quite a few girls back to my place. I too have always treated them with respect. Always. I would usually ask them to spend the night. No short time. I also paid them in advance by putting the money into their purse. When they were in the shower. I felt odd if I gave them the money directly. I would try and lessen the uncomfortableness for them. They appreciated it. They did. Plus the next morning I would invite them to have breakfast. Which usually they did. The bottom line is I wanted to try and show them some form of respect. Sure enough every time I saw the same girl she really wanted to be with me. Most if not all the women I was with were real 10’s. I was picky. They would usually approach me. Not me to them. There were some bad cases of guys mistreating them or worse. When I was in Hong Kong I remember the now infamous case of where a British banker took home a few girls from the bars. I think they were Indonesian. He ended up torturing and murdering them. They found the one girls body inside one of his suitcases. Was horrible. They got him and now he is in a prison in HK for the rest of his life. So it is a gamble for these girls. They are taking a chance. Because most of the time they simply don’t know the guy. I know some foreigners that have married some of these bar girls and ended up having great marriages. Some didn’t work out. It all depends. A crap shoot really. I remember most of the girls would tell me their favorite types of guys were American, British, and Australian. Their least favorite were Indian, and Arabs. This is what they told me. So to each her own.

Protect that man's tooth at all costs

Brilliant interview. Paul's a character.

incredible interview

This is a guy who really understands the life. Treat them like human beings (with respect), pay for the service with no BS, and make clear your situation and what you’re looking for. However, know when to say, no thank you. As for the mamasans, a good relationship with them just make the whole thing better. It’s like knowing the manager well at your favorite restaurant. Fly in your Thai iced tea? No problem. Hot and sour soup actually cold? No problem. No tits on your Bun Tom Thit Nuong? No problem. And yes, there are the sad cases. One (in the US) I ran into (almost literally) by chance was at least six months pregnant and going through drug withdrawal. She jumped in front of my car as I was driving home from late shift in a snowstorm. Don’t know how I didn’t hit her. She offered me services and I offered to take her to the hospital. She got angry and insisted she’d walk home (no jacket). We eventually compromised, and I dropped her off at a “friends” house. The building she ended up walking into was a crack house. This was over 25 years ago and it’s still as vivid as then.

Pauls a legend. Love his story

well explained and nice background understanding 👍

Great video..thanks for sharing

Man speaks the truth. Well done Paul.

This is a captivating interview. Paul is amazing. Would love to meet him someday. What part of Thailand is this? Bravo!

One of the best and most insightful explanations of Thailand's sex industry that I have seen, and I speak with some experience, having been here, on and off, since 2016.

Excellent interview,

Paul amazing storyteller as usual

Personally I think this guy blows things up a little

Hey man it was awesome to meet you in person last night

True. Good talking, straight forward, well done.
