I like the handle"Turok the dinosaur hunter". This sounds like a caveman. Also sounds as fictional as men hunting dinosaurs.

it is from an old videogame on the n64.

Update - I think I'm going to call it quits with the teacher.

1) She is overly obsessed with maintaining her skin white, to the point she only walks outside if covers can be found.

2) She has some kind of disorder that makes her sweat in buckets when she is hot. I can't accept this. She won't see a doctor about it.

3) I love going to the gym and staying in shape. She sees no reason to maintain herself, and at 31 and already larger, its only going to get worse. I believe going to a gym regularly shows respect for your partner.

4) The sex. She is happy with standard sex….I don't have the patience to persuade, teach….last one was 1 year before she would even consider a toy.

5) I have no idea where her money goes but seeing her place, she's living like some third world rat. I always keep my place clean and tidy. Her place is a complete disaster; clothes piled, garbage in corners; completely disgusting. I could never live like that.

6) She looks great but has no desire to look or dress sexy. I don't mean whorish but small, tight jean shorts or a tight skirt are just out of the question. Its just tiring.

Done…..Also, I don't think I can stop cold turkey with the bargirls as I slipped up last night with 1 from Spanky's. And it was great sex; way better than with the good girl.

I am probably doomed to hell living here...

Just read this after my last post...

So now you're seeing the catch 22 of dating good girls here: they're boring and have little sex appeal. The ones that are willing to date foreigners definitely are. Heck, the reason they choose to date foreigners is probably b/c Thai guys aren't interested in them.

Sadly, after three years here, I'd say the sexy, fun, attractive women that are drawn to foreigners usually have some kind of baggage. If you're young and/or have a lot going for ya, then it shouldn't be that difficult to meet an attractive level-headed girl. But even then, I suspect you'll eventually find she's immature in some way that seems unbearable.

there is no such thing as "good girls" . the misconception made by inadequate men who have very little real world experience with women is hilarious.

I guess if your only interaction with the opposite sex is hookers, and girls from the third world half your age it makes sense to you...

I didn't even cover the very real possibility of this girl and family playing you like the sucker you are (which after reading your initial post again, sounds EXTREMELY likely).

I'm also in my 20s and unlike the TS, I have spent years in Thailand and met numerous girls from different walks of life.

The guy is 100% clueless and is either going to get hurt, or hurt her.

Here are the red flags..

1) No experience with Thailand, Thai girls, Thai language. Nothing wrong with this however...

2) TS speaks like he knows what he is talking about and is trying to give others advice.... Naivety + False Confidence = Mistakes

3) Nothing wrong with mistakes... If you can learn from them. Hence someone is going to get hurt. You or her. At 21 you are not looking to settle down and have kids and get married. On the chance that you are, do you really want to rush into it with a girl from another country and culture and language who you do not know (I don't care if you spent 3 weeks with her, you don't know someone in 3 weeks). Which brings me to what you will say in response to this and the next red flag.

4) "but we talked for 6months on the internet" Guess what? Girls talk to A LOT of guys on the internet. I can bet you everything I own she is chatting to a minimum of 5 different guys just like you. Girls like to have options. They only discard options when you are "locked in" and you haven't made that commitment. You don't even live in the same side of the world or speak the same language, and you haven't broached the topic of marriage.

5) Where did you meet her online? You said she just appeared on your fb list? Sounds like nonsense to me. Either you talk to so many thai girls you forget where you met them (meaning making the move with a girl like this for long term relationship is a bad move), or maybe you met her somewhere you do not want to disclose here. I'm going to guess you met her on a thai dating website. Something like thafriendly, dia, tagged, thaicupid, etc etc. List goes on.

I'm speaking purely out of experience here too. I was in Thailand when I was 21 too. I made similar mistakes. I've met girls and their family off the internet. I didn't speak Thai well back then. I didn't know Thailand well. I THOUGHT i knew more than I actually did. I'm still in my 20s and I have taken that experience and learned from it. The best thing you can do now is 2 things.

1) Forget that you know anything and spend a lot more time reading forums, books, whatever, and take it all in with an open mind and outlook on life.

2) Forget any feelings you have for this girl and objectively consider these questions for 1min. "Do I want to get married and started a family?" and "Where do I see myself in 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years time?" and "What do I want out of life"

Now think about that girl and if marrying her fits into your life goals and plans.

If him serve four your country in the war why he most stay on the streets??And fore 27000b you think he can stay here in Thailand??No you need at last 50000b a mounth if you no hawe a home ore a wife here.But if you are putting up 800b fore him then ok fore him to stay.Why help him when him can make himself,Why him stay on the streets your newer think of that

50,000 baht? You are so wrong it isn't funny.

You can't even speak English. You talk like a third world prostitute. "Why him stay"

Guessing you can't live without 50,000 baht because you spend a lot of time at Soi Cowboy, Bangla Road, or Pattaya.....

Suthep spurns talks with government

“If we lost, we all go to the jails. But if we won, our children grandchildren will have a future,” he told the crowd.

Ok, I think that even Suthep knows the way out of this ridiculous crisis.

Since he already lost, let him go to prison, and everything goes back to normal. Perfect

(What a very poor English, by the way. He should educate himself a bit)

Sent from my iPhone...

I bet he speaks more English than you speak Thai.

Maybe you are the one who needs an education?

"no hab"

I met a gorgeous burmese girl in Yangoon working at a restaurant. She was studying engineering at university and her english was ok.

I agree with what someone else said earlier about burmese people being generally more inquisitive and open to learning. I think thais are happy being thai and doing things their way. The burmese people I have met have shown a lot of interest in learning english and learning about other cultures.

Whats are example prices in laos currency so i dont get scamed

I mean local prices not turists prices.

Food drink attractions

Tuk tuk fares?

mataleo

Pretty similar to Thailand.

oh yeah? whats the pool like? sounds like a better deal than i originally thought. gives my 7k a month place a run for its money lol.

And what about my snake? Is it dangerous? It still lives with us I meet it every 2 - 3 day.

if a snake looked at me like that ,it would be the end of that snake and i would have a nice new belt ......

Or...... Maybe consider growing a set and educating yourself on the local flora and fauna? Rather than kill a harmless snake out of cowardice and ignorance.

its not "harmless" you fool ,it just may not be posionous but a snake bite still needs medical treatment

let it play in the garden with you and your kids

i would kill an angry snake 100 times out of 100

but you in your vast intelligence and giant testicles would be going to ER to seek treatment for a snake bite

The only fool here is yourself. You can kill it off like a coward, sure. Just means the food source will still be there, and the potential for a deadly snake to move in rises...

Copperhead racer.

Really cool snakes and nothing to worry about. They are harmless

They use these snakes a lot at snake shows as they can be quite fiesty if cornered and strike VERY fast. They also flex out their neck and body and open their mouths to look more intimidating, just like in your photo.

I had one of these chase me across a road outside Khon Kaen. Fun little guys. They can actually grow pretty big though.

Let him live around your place and he will take care of all the nasty mice and rats.

10 years of trading but doesn't understand how to find items, ship items, or organize a visa?

eh.

I don't side with the negative-nancy brigade often but you really put your foot in this one.

How much are rents around that way, seems ok

There's a subway station around there now or not?

Lad Phrao MRT Station.

I have a really nice one room. for 5000 baht/Month. if you need bigger space and want to live really good for 10000 Baht/Month you get a nice apartment here

Can you post pics of your 5k room? Just curious what you get for that price.

Think Away the TV, watches and all the small stuff. You see the fridge, bed, curtains, and furniture. notice the floor too. I'm living small but good life. my apartment before was really harsh, next to a main road, traffic all night, ants all over the place if i dropped a micro piece of sugar or food on the floor, noisy air-con. super-small room. hopefully my next apartment, or the one after that will be as nice as this one but bigger. I don't want to pay more than 10.000 Baht/Month.

Nothing wrong with that place. Looks pretty good for 5k. I've seen a lot worse.

You have no idea what you are talking about do you?

Firstly there are jobs that are reserved for Thais and foreigners are not allowed to do those jobs.

Better find out about that first, bartenders are part of the 'hospitality" service jobs and many if not all of those jobs are prohibited to non Thais.

Secondly, you will need to know Thai to communicate with the waiters and waitresses.

Thirdly, even if you do find a job, your salary will be half of what you would earn in your country.

And, fourthly, why would a bar owner want to hire you when he can probably find a Thai to work legally at half the salary you will want?

That's the reality of working here in Thailand, and you better learn it before you come to Thailand.

The reality of the situation is that even with good experience in your home country, you will be lucky to find a job in Thailand, and if you do expect half the alary that you would earn in your country.

There are schools in Thailand where Thais train for careers in the "Hospitality" industry, and they will always get a job before a foreigner does.

If you insist on coming to Thailand, bring enough money to support yourself for at least 6 months without finding a job, and have a ticket back to your home country when you arrive in case you run out of money before you find a job.

Seriously.

LOL

Seems you have no idea what you are talking about, moron.

Maybe if you spent 1minute reading the thread, you would see he IS THAI

Better to keep your low intellect and useless opinions to yourself in the future.

In my condo contract it stipulates that the landlord has to give 48hours notice to inspect the apartment. I've had them request to show people the place while I am renting so they can rent it after my contract ends and it has always been fine.

Check your contract or read up on your rental rights. He can't just pop over whenever he likes.

id tell him to kick rocks after the first visit.

They do something similar to this at the wake park near Bangkok.

It is like a water booster on your feet and you can blast up and down through the water like a dolphin swims.

They retail for like $6000 and costs like 2000 or 3000 baht to rent it for 15min from memory.

I can dig up a picture of video of it.

A lot of people in this thread have no idea about girls. You should stick to hookers and stop offering your awful advice to others.

I'd single out posts but there are so many...

Here's an idea, op; avoid taking girls you just met back to your room.

Precisely!! Very well put. This is Thailand; "good girls" do NOT go back to your room with you on a first date. Or any date, for that matter. The OP is just too cheap (or too conceited and full of himself) to pay for it. Nothing wrong with paying for it, nothing at all.

Good girls rarely go back with a stranger,whether thai or not

Nonsense.

You old farts know nothing about girls.

I always get a laugh at all these old blokes giving their advice on girls in Thailand. Specially the old "good girls" moniker.

get out and meet people, make friends, and try new hobbies.

basically the same thing you would do living anywhere in the world...

this mother and her daughter at least, they have some brain. Sometimes i really wonder why 67 millions thai people dont run away from Thailand...

Yet people like you are dying to live in Thailand..

Guess you don't have any brains either.

You say Malaysian taxi drivers never ask for more than the meter,are you serious?

And if so have you never been to Kuala Lumpur?

That is exactly what I was going to say.

The OP is completely clueless.

Kuala Lumpur taxi drivers are 100x worse than Bangkok.
