I've used LineMan application for food delivery for years, never had issues. Around 1 month ago, the fees suddenly became higher, up to 20 bahts per order, no matter the distance. It used to be only 2 or 3 bahts. At first i thought it was because of rainy days but it stayed that way. More, the app keeps canceling my orders and i have to try 3 or 4 times before finding a driver while before, it was instantaneous. Any ideas why ? Or did you notice the same thing ?

It's silly to say 'Thai people are like this, Thai people are like that'. There are stupid and unrespectful people everywhere, and Thais are no exceptions. Likewise, it's stupid to say ' oh but you don't understand, its because of the culture bla bla...' Being reduced to 'a farang' is silly.

no that hasn't changed, but his advice were much better than any more 'modern' doctors when i went to see him... previous reputable ENT i went to several times could not really understand my issue and kept prescribing antibiotics and talked about surgery. Dr. Chalermpong was more direct in his diagnosis , no bs. And in the end, his treatment proved the best one

A lot of times, it's because they learn early on that they don't appeal to Thai men or that Thai men treat them like <deleted> by bullying them. Especially the dark skin girls. Thais men can be quite racists and the idea that dark skin is ugly is real here. Same for some facial traits deemed unattractive for girls. Another reason is if the girl is a single mother, Thai men will not touch her anymore. Money is ofc a main reason. Almost all women around the world are looking to date up and to be taking care of. This is especially obvious in poorer countries like Thailand. Some are just attracted to differences, and have been disppointed by Thai men and like foreign men. Some have a big penis fetish. ... it's different for everybody. Thai girls mainly date Thai men however and have zero interests in foreign men because why would they go out of their way to learn English, and try to form a relationship with someone not sharing any cultural similarities or references with her? In my experience here, almost all Thai girls i've dated were all looking to leave Thailand one way or another, for job or travel. Most of them did, sometimes with the help of foreigner, sometimes by themselves.

Poor level of general education, no knowledge about anything going on outside of Thailand will do that

The longer i'm here and the more experience i have, i feel like Thai girls can tell...and are much more defensive whereas naive me first time in Thailand had much less trouble... Maybe i've changed and lost all sex appeal ? Or do girls can tell and 'farang roo mak mai dee'?

oh definitely, she's a messed up one...got a kid at 17 from a Thai guy, the guy was beating her and then left her, she raised the kid on her own, now she left her in Thailand to be taken care of while she's trying to live the Western lifestyle in Canada... she's screaming red flags all along, I met her once, she was lovely tho and very polite, not the typical 'bad girl' profile..

Well we were chatting before she went up there, and she told me she was trying to go there, but she said her visa had been denied 2 times already... When she finally got it, she left Thailand in the week after. We were getting pretty close, and we keep chatting up to this day via IG or Snap. Problem is, she's the most gorgeous lady i've ever seen. Otherwise I would i've said 'screw that' a long time ago... But yeah no idea why she would keep chatting with me, syaing she misses me and all that, if she's truly with another guy. Granted, she's still very young (22), so there's that

Thai girl i've been chatting with for a while has gone to Canada. She's been there 6 months already. She stays very vague on what she's doing there, and can't believe she can survive there on the money she made back in Thailand with a regular job (she didn't graduated in Thailand). Upon looking up visas to enter Canada and requirements for Thai people, I saw that basically the only way to stay long-term over there is to have an official sponsor to take care of you or to be married beforehand. Any opinions or experience with this? Could a Thai person stay that long in Canada with a regular tourist visa type, or has she been lying to me and she's now living there with her bf?

Light hearthed post... We all know the running joke of 'yes but my girl is different'...only to learn down the line that she wasn't that much different...so for experienced old geezers here, did you ever got a Thai girl who was really different ? And by different, i mean not obsessed with generating money, saving face, buying beauty products and whose conversation subjects weren't centered around food and gossips

Your post is either a troll, or you're being completely ignorant of the reality of how things work here. Maybe you're a newcomer. First of all, you have to realize that most women open to date foreigners or 'farangs" are the girls that Thais don't want or are not attracting to anymore. Reason may be because they have darker skin, they have bigger shapes, they have a lot of tattoos or they have a child already. Thats it. So the 'hot, westernized' type of type girls you bang as a foreigner are the girls Thais don't want, and the girls know that. That's why they chose to actively date foreigners only. Those girls are also a very limited pool as well, constently dating the same transient foreigners and sometimes having several "sponsors" or daddies that fund their vaping lifestyles. The second thing is that most people date inside their social circle and inside their own kind. Majority of Thais date Thais. That's it. There's no workaround around it. Sure, you might have the odd one 'trying out' a farang, but most Thais will always want Thai for obvious reasons (language, culture, etc...). Then you have like I said the limited pool of Thai girls who go for farangs only. And even then, in 2024, Western foreigners are in fierce competition with Koreans, Chinese and Japanese. Lots of Thai girls would prefer a handsome rich oppa rather than a broke Westerner that doesn't know how to dress and who smells bad.The paradigm has shifted in recent years. Then, you say foreigners are taller, more handsome etc... than Thais. Where did you get this idea or why do you think being taller instantaneously means you're more attractive? You might be a novelty for a while but... you know, every white foreigner is handsum here. Almost every time i go out, someone will tell me 'you so handsome!' Learn to deal with it. It doesn't mean anything here. Foreigners are not being perceived as 'more handsome' in the sense that you think, trust me. Thais are very popular as well. Look at the advertisement. Do you see any white guy? No. It's all white skinned Koreans or Chinese. That's the model. Foreigners have more money? Some do, for sure. Some have better wages than Thai people, overall. But do you want to be seen as a walking wallet?

link to any official article about this? can't find anything & the links from this thread aren't working...

A mixture of both, if i keep reading this forum...

Yes, they are a bit from me as well... one is next to Mc Cormick hospital where i go to sometimes

Yeah i did it but didn't find or see it on Lazada ? Can you pm me the link? Thanks
