“Common sense is the most widely shared commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well supplied with it.”
René Descartes
***
Common sense is an important attribute to have wherever you are in the world. Much of what you need to know and remember while in Thailand or anywhere is common sense. For some reason though, common sense is one of the first things men forget when they come to Thailand. The words of wisdom in this chapter can be applied just anywhere in the world. While I am certain those reading (and writing) this book are well endowed with common sense, nevertheless, I suggest you read it anyway. If one of these items jogs your memory at a later date, it might very well save you time, money, or your life. …show more content…

In Thailand, there is a tendency to talk things up.
“It’s beautiful!”
“Special price for you!”
“It’s not expensive.”
“Your family will love this place.”
If you’re fortunate, everything will be as stated. Do your due diligence beforehand; make certain you get what you are supposed to get.

Do not get emotionally involved with a prostitute
When men come to Thailand and hit the red-light area in the country, all of the sudden life changes. They become more handsome than they ever dreamed, compared to some Thais, they’re wealthy, and they are good enough to land the lady that back home, they never had a chance with. Of course, in most cases all bets are off if there’s no money involved.
Prostitutes work for money. They provide their body and sex in exchange for money. Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, yet when many foreigners come to Thailand, working girls somehow morph into love interests.

There are men who come to Thailand and believe everything they are told and everything they hear. 
If the precious little honey you just met starts crying poor and asks for money, dump her. After all, wouldn’t you prefer to have a woman capable of taking care of herself and free from any serious problems? I’m not saying be totally heartless - but know that there is a fine line.
Having a heart and then there is giving in to the Captain Save-a-Whore syndrome, sometimes referred to as codependency. If you are tempted to give her money or take care of her, ask yourself if she was okay before and if she’ll be okay after she met you.
A polite and friendly Thai woman is much different from an interested Thai woman. 
You go into a restaurant, sit down and the waitress comes over to take your order. She is cute, very cute, so you flirt with her. In the course of your conversation she may ask where you are from, how long you will be in Thailand, and what you are doing here. She smiles, you smile, and the polite banter continues. Her English is cute, she’s cute, so when you pay your bill, you decide to ask her out; nothing wrong with trying. You take the bill, set it down on the table, tenderly hold her hand and look into her eyes.
“Would you like to go somewhere with me?
She smiles, turns away, slowly withdraws her hand, and walks back to the register with your money.”
You thought there was chemistry. In fact, you thought she was into you.

“Common sense is not something that just is; it is something that is developed and learned and perpetuated over time” (Kumashiro, 2012, p. 17). In the first chapter of Kevin K.

For example in Germany, where sex work is legalized, data has shown that between 2001 and 2011 human trafficking has gone down by ten percent.
