Would like to know how many of them were hookers

They are all hookers except for your mother and my mother, and sometimes I question where mom goes at night.

I would say if your good looking, dress well, look confident, know how to talk the talk, you shouldn't have any trouble chatting to any of the girls, anywhere, if you ask me, girls like being approached, especially if you have good one liners...

 

The part you didn't mention, of course, is that for the average university girl even in BKK, especially at the majority of regular (non hi-so campuses), most of them probably will speak little to no English... So the OP will need to be practicing his spiffy one liners in Thai...

Yes of course, depends how fat your wallet is.

[Greyhat]

If you're of similar age to the girl and can speak some Thai, sure.

 

I've attempted it once and scored once. I asked a girl if she knew which floor something was on, she seemed happy to talked to me so I asked her if she'd eaten anything yet, she said she hadn't so I invited her to join me...

No need to ask, it didn't happen. Yes, some hookers frequent the likes of T21 and Central in Pattaya, but guess what, a lot of the girls you see around are either Asian tourists, Chinese, Korean or Japaneses, or just regular girls out window shopping.  Some western guys in Pattaya, Bangkok and other tourist spots seem to live in some kind of virtual reality Thailand, where one girl they meet (in the sex trade)  is representative of all girls,  It's rather pathetic really.

It depends on alot of factors. How handsome are you? How young are you? How well dressed are you? Do you speak some Thai? Are you funny and charming? Are you ok with a fairly high rejection rate? All of those factors make a big difference. 

 

I have a couple of friends who hit on strangers on the street, in malls, at bars and restaurants, in parks, and wherever they can. And they do well. But they have really good rap, and great skill at such. I am talking about civilians, not bar girls. It is a numbers game. If you chat with enough gals here, you will have some success. But, you have to be willing to handle the rejection with grace, humor, and the attitude of a true sportsman. Water off a ducks back.

The older you get the harder it is .    And physically,  the opposite.

well...since you asked.....

[hobz]

Some things I think would help.

 

1. Learn some Thai.

 

2. Be confident

 

3. Have good social skills (be able to pick up and act according to subtle / not so subtle social cues)

Nope not boasting, but, aren't modern pharmaceuticals wonderful !!! ......55555

[brokenbone]

with a question like that, you have not lived and observe here

long enough to hook up with anything beside hookers.

if you still want to try, you need to meet them at their work place, otherwise you end up with a hooker

Would the school allow him entry ?

Build a number of ladies you deal with that you find pleasant: reception, pharmacy, hair cutting, money exchange, bail? Be pleasant, small talk, and watch for one to rise to the bait. Going from first to third is much easier that way.

Older guys can do quite well here, if they have some of the qualities mentioned above, and they are not hitting on super hot women, who are in their 20's. The only gals that fall into that category who would be interested, would be freelancers, or gals looking for the 30,000 baht monthly allowance.

Depends what you mean by hook up ?  Guys that marry bargirls tend to think every Thai girl is for sale.

 

No reason you cant ask for directions, where can you buy phone credit etc, introduce yourself to the next table at a coffee shop, can you ask a couple of questions about Thailand etc.

 

Keep in mind, your average Thai girl thats not in the entertainment industry or trying to sell you something will be very conservative, shy, has probably never spoken to westerners or had a boyfriend.

 

 

 

You didn't mention anything about a likely language barrier.

Yes.

The "cashier" at a bar is also a great choice.

[esclub]

If you have to ask that question here then I doubt your going to pick up a girl anywhere.

well,  i said no boasters......  but I did pretty well in my early 60's  when playing the game.  My thai finally had reached a level where flirting was easy and that with my natural  sanay  hahaha  made life fun.  EDIT :  for me personally the older i got the more i wanted to meet slightly older ladies. Many in their 30's are very attractive ( and some NOT )

After years of that it becomes tiresome (to me anyway)  and when a long term prospect finally arrived

I gave up and "settled down".      Hope its true about having many lives though as I would be glad to start again ..

I found Thai girl more easy to approach than western girls. If you can speak Thai, looks good and are about the same age then it's very easy.

The days of 15,000 seem to be behind us, according to my single friends. Unless they are older, or in the boonies. In Hua Hin now, 30,000 is the starting price. I know. It sounds crazy. But, things change, expectations change, gals share their stories about the suckers, and the emotionally vulnerable men who come here with cash, and then the hurdles get raised. Of course, it also depends on how old the guy is, how young the woman is, and how fine she is. And we are really talking about rentals, for the most part. 

[bkk6060]

I suggest the OP try the dating sites.

Many many girls on those sites near universities.

Honest and accurate from my observation.  40 to 50 k in Bangkok for younger and good looking.

I just read an article that said American women are using Botox to get rid of "Bitch Face" so they will look more approachable. Not much action anymore. Of course men are being blamed for this.
