Thailand... Anyone else find it a bit disturbing?

Okay, so I too am in Thailand at the moment, and am having mixed feelings about this place. I should also say as a disclaimer, that I've been kind of lame and after a week her, decided to invite my girlfriend out (she's a solid 8.5 IMHO), but originally thought Thailand would be a cakewalk full of Thai and tourist poon.
I should also add that I've been dating this girl for the past 3 months and right before I left things got a bit more serious, I know this is a players forum, but I kind of liked the constant guaruntee of pussy and having a chill girl to kick it with on the reg.
Well my impressions of Bangkok are that it's certainly an "interesting" place, but a dirty, congested city, and unless you're working there and have some kind of social circle, it get's boring quick and there is not a whole lot to do after you've seen the tourist sites. I guess I had a bit of bad luck because I planned on hitting up the nightlife in BKK and was excited based on what I've read here, but was too jet lagged and tired my first few nights and then all the bars were closed on the Friday and Saturday nights that I planned to go out because of the King's birthday or some shit (?)
Basically that was a bit confusing and whack, because I don't know why they would BAN alcohol to CELEBRATE a national holiday, quite opposite of how we do things in the west if you know what I mean. I ended up going out for a bit on Sunday night (my last night), but my wing I met from the hostel ("Refill Now") kind of bitched out by midnight and I didn't feel like hitting it solo. We checked out Q-Bar which was dead, and went to "Climax" (which used to be Spicy) and it was whack as fuck there was no one in there at like 11:30 and there a few gay people (not that I'm homophobic), but it just was a weird scene. That said, I guess before it became Climax, Spicy was known as a late night spot apparently, so it's entirely possible that I was just there too early.
I should also mention that one of the nights I was trying to check out this club called Glow that was heavily recommended by Lonely Planet (yeah I know what you all think about L.P.), I accidentally stumbled upon Soi Cowboy, and since Glow was closed due to the bullshit holiday, I went into a bar to get a drink and check it out. Obviously all the girls were working, but one girl who I don't think was officially working for the bar was all about me, and it's possible that I could have "shored", but to be honest she was only a 6.5, and I was only a few days out from haved banged the hell out of my GF who's an 8.5, so I didn't feel like the downgrade.
Also, I'm not a "moralist" by any means, I'll admit I did p4p at a terma in Rio and enjoyed it, but I'm not really into banging girls that are professional hookers or "semi-pros" whatever that means. Mostly, due to the fact that I bet most of these girls have STD's (obviously you wrap it up, but still) and you know these chicks get ran through by all kinds of nasty dudes, which if you think about it, starts to become a major turn off.
I don't doubt that guys on these forums have sucessful "shored" and not paid a dime, but I really don't feel like hanging out at whore bars and trying to game whores, I'd rather just game regular girls, tourists, or just suck it up and pay if I want it that bad. Thailand is definitely full of working girls and aside from maybe Bangkok or wealthy Thais on a beach vacation, it doesn't really seem like "normal" (i.e. non working) girls even hang out at bars or clubs in the first place.
Now again I want to re-iterate that I've made no real efforts, attempts, or approaches on Thai girls, but I haven't really noticed any interest either. I'm not the equivelent of Brad Pitt or Colin Farrel in the looks department, but I'd say that I'm definitely a pretty good looking guy (well above average) and I can't say that I really felt like any normal Thai girls were ever really checking me out, making strong eye contact, or giving me vibes of any kind.
Most Thais don't really speak very good English unless they are working girls, working in a hotel or tourism business of some kind, or are upper class. Well working girls want your money obviously, girls working in hotels, restaurants, etc., see about a thousand tourists every week so to them you're just a face in the crowd and not really potential for anything more, and upper class Thais have money, social circles, etc., and unless you're a serious baller, you're not bringing anything to the table (go to the Siam Sq. shopping mall and you'll see what I mean).
Also, I ask this of the guys who shored and didn't pay, to you end up buying the girl $20 USD worth of drinks, take them out to dinner, pay for them to travel a bit, or buy them any gifts? Basically, it seems like some guys may not be outright paying for sex, but they're still paying in one form or another.
If you're staying in Pattaya or Patong in Phuket, then you're basically in a sex tourist destination, so don't fucking complain, because you put yourself there, so what more would you expect, really? If you want avoid that go to Krabi, Chaing Mai, Chaing Rai, or some non-touristy islands like Koh Lanta, Koh Lip, Koh Chang, etc.
Right now I'm on my last night in this shit tourist town called Ao Nang, in the Krabi province. Krabi is very beautiful and if you know where to go, you will see some amazing natural scenery, but it's not a party spot, and gaming here is not really worth it in my opinion. Ao Nang, sucks and I've basically stayed here because it's cheap, has more options for restaurants, bars, etc., and is where all the tours are based out of.
I spent 3 nights in the village of Tonsai, which is a hippy backpacker spot, and rock climbers mecca due to the amazing limestone karst cliffs that ring the beach and jungle, which are basically a big jungle gym or playground for rockclimbers. Well, I don't rockclimb, and the rockclimbers are a bit clicky and pretentious which got really annoying, but all in all Tonsai is a cool spot to check out for a few nights. But, unfortunately the nightlife there was super tame (lame/?) revolving around reggae bars which were chill and had good vibes, but were serious sausage fest with few cute single girls, and most people just pass out early because there so tired from rockclimbing, and most girls are with their boyfriends or traveling with another girlfriend and always have a force-field of cock surrounding them.
I got serious blue balls here in Ao Nang, and I hate to admit this, and you guys don't want to hear it, but I've been jerking it like crazy, because during the day there are shit tons of hot Scandanavians, Russians, and German girls walking around... But, at night time, the bars are all dead as fuck, or are major sausage fests, full of lame people. When you do see a group of hot girls it's normally like a pack of 5 of them and they're all seated in a group, so it's a hard approach to make as a single guy. A lot of girls seem to either not be into partying, are traveling with their boyfriends, or are traveling with their parents/family and aren't going out a night.
Daygame might be the golden ticket here, but again I want to emphasis how lazy I am, and when my game improved and I got better before settling on my girlfriend, my game revolved around night-game (bars, parties, etc.), so alcohol and classic night game, was my bread and butter. Also, I just don't feel like combing the beaches, walking up and down, and approaching like a machine, and inevitably getting shot down numerous times, before you'd have any relative success, which is what I am guessing you'd have to do here. What especially sucks is seeing so many fucking hot like serious perfect 10 Scandanavian and Russian girls with douchey Euro-trash chode guys who are either fat and ugly, or just don't appear to have any style or personality, or some combination of all those factors.
So that is my spiel so far on Thailand, take away what you will, or make whatever judgements. Tomorrow, I leave for the full moon party on Koh Phangan, so hopefully that will be a much better scene, and my girl will be out here in 2 weeks, so I'll be back on a diet of constant good poon.
