Also, not sure your motive here but I don't believe BAR GIRL IN CHIANG MAI CAN'T SPEAK THAI. you'll be saying next it's normal to marry a bar girl lol He did say it was ten years ago. Do try to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose of that's where you spend most of your time, talking to low class prostitutes in pidgin English must be enlightening. Talking? I am trying to work out your level of expectation?

I'm fairly sure white guys living in Thailand count as 'deviants' of some sort, if they were normal they would have never have left their home town except for the annual 2 week beach holiday, like the rest of the normal people in the world. PS. We prefer to be looked on as 'Romance travellers'. (But Gruff doesn't live here, so isn't a expat of any description). PPS. Hardly seems worth the effort to learn a language without the right to citizenship, and only a 90 day VISA. PPPS. You're banging a local, how would you describe yourself?

I am conscious that this thread is starting to go off topic. I mentioned about chatting with Bar Girls because i believe they do make more of an effort to understand foreigner Thai. I am sure the reason for this is that they are getting direct benefit (income from the drink and maybe more) and so they are more incentivsed than a shop assistant or waitress (whose payment is indirect). I don't know any girls that have scammed foreigners (although i am sure there are many from all walks of life that have done that) but i do know a few that are receiving a regular income from a Foreigner which is being sent of their own volition. I don't know of bars with working girls in my own Country but i was recently in Larnaca, Cyprus and nearly every (pub style bar) in Town had working girls. The dynamic was different though the bars were not being frequented by tourists or expats but by Locals. most of them looked pretty normal to me and perhaps suprisingly young !

Let us get this right - of the hundreds of foreigners you have met, none willingly supported their girlfriends/Wives? None willingly built a house or willingly supported a business venture, all were in some way outsmarted by bar girls and never willingly parted with these millions you speak of?

Now I know you will say that was a fair divorce settlement, but really when they tell any lie and make any accusation and harm their own children in order to maximize their 'take' that becomes a scam, and almost every white woman is fully prepared to do it. Thai bar girls are far more honest, and you have to give them your money (usually in an attempt to break the law of the land), a judge won't award it them.

I think you'll find there are many expats here that were gutted financially by the divorce courts in their home countries. It's a question of degree, at least here the law is more sensible and the damage is limited unless one is completely stupid with their finances. I haven't been on the bar scene for some years now. However, I can say none ever ripped me off, and several delivered more warmth than I had any right to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you claim that 95% of Thai BGs are low class I'd say it would be safe to ASSUME you either know every Thai BGs or you are claiming to know something you have no actual idea about.
