  11. The average thai woman wants the same as most women of the world. Thai women hate stinky men hahahahahah,and pissheads/smokers

    The Thai women like to be part of western fellows for there financial input to increase their live style.

    The western fellows like to get Thai girls because the are much younger in age than themselves.

    I have dated a Thai woman that was 10 years older than me and being a veteran teacher making 50k/month did not need financial support from me. What was our excuse?

    I have also dated professional Thai women my same age who did not have a problem paying when we went on dates.

    There are more scenarios than the poor bar girl from the northeast/guy who can't get laid by a decent woman back home one.

  12. Hi there, Harveyboy!

    You will find plenty of 'farangs' in Phetchabun - regardless of which geographic forum. ? A good place to start would be the café called 'Toffy Home' which you could look up on their website. From about 14.00, certainly Monday to Friday, you will find a motley crew of expats putting the world to rights. They're good guys! Tell them Martin sent you - they're sure to let you buy them a can of something.hahaha Enjoy!

    hey tks for the reply ..i know toffy home my girlfriend used to work at izuzu just across the road from there we used to meet lunchtime there great coffee
