I drove by this around 2:45am Sun morning in a grab taxi. What I remember was how far down the street the car was. Had to have been a hell of a violent collision.

One part of me says, this girl is drop dead gorgeous, funny, good in the bedroom and doesn't ask you for money, give this a shot. The other says, her lack of physical affection and "do her own thing" attitude AND GAVE YOU STD will be serious problems. What do you think is the best course of action here? gorgeous goes away. Can she - and does she - cook, and do so to please you? Keep your place clean? Is she an agreeable person? Would you introduce her to your friends? Has she introduced you to any of her friends? When you give her some money does she she thank you and spend it wisely? When you compliment her how does she take it? Does she compliment you? Dude the problem is not her, its you. You are judging her by only trivial (other than physical affection) data points. Good luck.

@MalcolmB you are to be commended, your heart is in the right place. Unfortunately this is doomed to failure - as @Smokin Joe points out no Thais will understand you. Really. You are going to stress yourself out for nothing; I tried this and in the first sentence or two I went off-road and it was trash from that point on. Your girlfriend most likely has a Thai friend with decent English language (preferably speaking and reading). Let her give it. Spend an evening going over this with her (you may have to pay a bar fine) Damn, I wish I had done this ...

Make a list - the stuff you have no control over goes to the bottom, sort the other stuff easy at top, hard at bottom. Work on 2 every day (even if it walk to 7-11 and back). As others have said work on your posture. The point is to get aimlessness out of your life. And to the extent possible get negative people out of your life. Youll be surprised how soon this begins making a difference.

The best pizza in Bangkok - possibly all of mainland Thailand - is Vesuvius. And next door is kick*** massage joint. Not far from Nana. Been there for a number of years so must be doing something right.
