Like prostitution is prohibited? Like not carying your passport 24/7 is prohibited? Like speeding is prohibited? I have known hundreds of people who have done voluntary work without work permits and none who have encountered difficulties with the law about it.

Sure you are right. I seek out these type but it takes work. You will not find them on WS or Insomnia..... From which we can assume his "requirements" are incompatible with what the vast majority of Thai ladies interested in meeting foreign men are looking for anywhere in Thailand, let alone Chiang Mai.

Can't meet them because many have had to leave. I do, personally, know of some who have been 'visited' and have had to cease (teaching English voluntary in this case) but, as you say, many carry on regardless but if it's illegal, and it is, why risk your visa? Thailand is, and will, continue to clamp down on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superglue Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I did voluntary teaching at a school but when informed that this activity was illegal I stopped. Fair v Unfair - irrelevant. My retirement visa takes priority. I am not indispensable. Let others take up the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya, no hope unless OP regards soi 6 as a nice place to meet ladies.. Which it is of course Soi six where success is not about luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mentioned "vast majority" of Thai ladies is really subjective definition. It pretty much depends on what kind of society one is being surrounded. Trust me, it is quite possible. Just stop attending these beer bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, a lot less subjective than your opinion, as the wife and I used to run an introductions web-site, although admittedly 7 years ago now. Outside of the "bar girls", casual, for-fun relationships were not a consideration. I understand the student sugar daddy while at uni. phenomenon, but Thailand is still a conservative, face-based, family-first society for now.

Met... not heard from a friend of a friend's brother-in-law, but actually first hand knowledge. In fifteen years here, I've never met one, but know many who volunteer. Yes, I know people who have been "warned" by Immigration, for teaching English on a voluntary basis while on a retirement visa extension and have decided (wisely) to stop their voluntary activity. Do I personally know anyone on a retirement extension deported for volunteering? No. What Immigration or the Labor Department doesn't seem to mind is "community service", i.e. getting involved in "one-off" activities, esp. when the organizers of these activities are smart enough to get the short-term work permits the CM Labor Dept willingly grants to organizations for short-term community improvement activities. The advance committee work needed to organize these events is usually a Thai/expat endeavor and a good opportunity to meet quality Thai people, male and female. But, something tells me the OP doesn't want to work this hard to meet quality Thai women -- to get involved in a cause that makes CM a better place to live, picking a cause that is as important to many Thai people as it is to expats.

casper54 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 From another CM thread, an interesting place is http://www.chiangmaieroticgarden.com/ . The attached pic is from that site. It appears you can meet some decent ladies there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I was married to a decent Thai Lady for 13 years. The fun was limited, the cost relatively high. These days, I cater to un-decent Ladies. The fun is unlimited, the cost relatively low. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
