New poster here but long time Thailand visitor.
My advice is NOT to give a Thai girlfriend an "allowance". If you must, you can send her money (I don't) but be rest assured, you are almost certainly NOT her only patron.
That being said, it's not uncommon to make an "arrangement" with a lady you favor but don't expect it to last long.
I also had a very wealthy friend have multiple very beautiful Thai ladies "on retainer" (as he called it) because when he came back to Thailand they were at his beck and call as they didn't want to upset their gravy train. He generally sent them between 10 - 15K bhat per month each, which to most of us, was like sending them $0.50/month. If they didn't act as he wished or whatever, he would cut them off. Some might find the whole arrangement crass but it worked for him.
Anyway, I am glad I found this forum. I am a BKK guy, never liked Pattaya that much.
