Find a new gf, plenty available now there's no foreigners here and the entertainment venues have all closed.

I hear some of the girls are now living with guys just for food and accommodation.

Yes, you can always find young, desperate girls to exploit.

I fear that is why most westerners came to Thailand in the first place. 

 

To the op; sounds like you can afford it.  If you can go ahead.

 

If money is an issue tell her. If she can't accept that, move on.

As well as in the USA.  Look up dek puuying on the internet.  You can probably find yourself a nice Uni gal to support who will reciprocate with favors.  You can build a relationship from there.  If she is a keeper, you'll be marrying a Uni grad.  Better prospects.  
Love?  One thing you'll learn about love in Thailand:
Love is fungible.   

[tifino]

and see if it dawns on her, when you offer her as much gold as she can eat...

[madmitch]

The Thai fascination for gold is an interesting one.

 

Many times have I seen Thai girl (or man) with a large piece of gold, which is worn for a week to show off and then is never seen again as the piece is taken to the gold shop and exchanged for 1000 baht notes.

 

I think it seems more acceptable than asking for cash.

I love these stories,there's one born every minute sometimes two, guess she's under pressure from her family,why don't you give her the shirt of your back as well,time to move on matey.

And you struck the nail on the head. A lot of surprisingly ignorant people here don't understand that if you're in a serious relationship (meaning you're married or have been together a long time) with a much younger woman, you owe it to her to try your best to set her up for when you're gone. What's the point of using up her young years, only paying her bills, and when she is older, she has nothing. All she has to look back on are years where her bills were paid.

 

Shame on people like that! Shame on the OP making a thread about it.

 

A few hundred thousand baht worth of gold is peanuts and won't set her up for long.

 

I know some of you will want to roast me for this - bring it on!  

 

Before you do, consider the difference between a serious relationship and a casual one. I'm talking about serious, close relationships.

I agree, with a caveat.

I've approached this as a gradual process, buying her a gold item for her birthdays, ensuring she is taken care of in my will. Putting a roof over her head. The relationship builds slowly, so should the money flow.

It's not a good idea to give a Thai woman what she wants immediately. She might get the idea your resources are limitless. There have been times I have said to my GF no, you will have to wait.

no never i would do it for a girl in my home country.. but in my home country i would never have a girl at less than half age of mine.

That is because you do not earn enough ...
Take a closer look around you; you will see couples where the man has double and sometimes triple the age of his partner.
no need to come to Thailand to see this.

I think she wants to demonstrate her family and friends that you are serious about the relationship.

I think it is just the opposite.

It is a little bit of an old trick.

They think asking for Gold is not like asking for money.

I bet her intentions are to dump the dude and try to obtain as much as possible prior. 

[Davo369]

Buy her a shovel and then tell her to dig for it

I'll be your girlfriend.  I'll write you every day and I'll put lots of emojis on my texts. 

 

What do you say?

It seems that in fact you are just paying for a young escort

it's your choice and your money

but please don't call it love

 

You're wrong. The shibboleths of Western society don't apply in Asia. Why do you think there are so many mia nois?

Asian women love a male who can provide for them. He could look like the northern end of a south-bound camel, they would not give a damn. Age difference is irrelevant here.

Uh, OK.

Totally disagree as it is very rare.

It happens, but with guys like billionaire Trump she is 30 years less.

But check out the top celebrities in a place like Los Angeles and their wives and GF's are 98% not 1/2 their age.  

One of the great things being here.  I can have a gf much better looking and sexier then the top dogs and billionaires in the world.  What a country!

You must ask her for something in return.   How about telling her that in return for the gold

she must make louder noises and sounds of pleasure when you are making love.

[moontang]

At least, acknowledge that there is a strong possibility that she, or someone in her immediate family, is deeply in debt.  Being around a girl, with no job or income and reliant on you for every grain of rice she eats is a drag.

i gave her about 15k-20k every month for her expenses

 

isn't that about the average salary for an office lady in bangkok with a decent job?

[transam]

Reads like you being separated for a while has done you a favour, something to think about.

 

Tell her there is no cash in the cookie jar at the mo, things are difficult, perhaps better in the future..........

See what happens.

 

I know a few blokes that spend cash on their lady, give them a nice life, but, the ladies don't like them, just happy with not having to worry about paying their own way through life.

 

Not saying that is your situation, but you can now find out if it is if you play your cards right....

I don't know Los Angeles; I have never been to the USA;
on the other hand I lived and worked almost 30 years in Paris in France, and I can assure you that in the beautiful districts, in the 8 * arrondissement in particular, there is a pack of guys with the pockets stuffed with 200 banknotes euros (those of 500 euros are no longer made) who lug around chicks who are often 2 to 3 times less than the age of their serving knight.
Ferrarri, Lambo, Bugatti as if it were raining and youngsters next to the guy who is 60 years old or more.

  Bugatti, there is not officially one in Thailand, it is not imported, which does not mean that a billionaire has not brought one in a container ... it is worth a trifle minimum 3 million euros in France = more than 100 million baht;
and in Thailand with local taxes say 300 million baht

Sorry but i am not wrong, i am not compared to western society,i am talking about thai society

where ''mia noi'' is a nice word to name prostitutes, or escorts. they are most of the time covered with

gift and money by the ''lovers'' married men, usually at least 2 more older than her.

let me correct it for you

''lazy'' asian women love a male who can provide for them

most of the ''normal'' asian women have a decent job and are financialy independent

then they can really love someone for himself and not for his money.

I thought a mia noi was a bird on the side....Doesn't have to be a pro or escort working girl..

The rest of the post is nonsense...

[EVENKEEL]

Guaranteed she'll give some to her Mom, the rest of it she will <deleted> away little by little till it's all gone. Back to square one.

[finnsk]

Never ending story, no money - no thai honey.

 

Now it is time you find out what you want in the future, because the next will exactly be house, car etc.. That can be ok if you believe in her and you want to stay with her in Thailand.

 

Take care, do not be a stupid ATM machine.

 

Many thai woman do not know about real love, they think love and gold is the same thing.

 

Maybe you should make a test on her, try to see what she will do, if you stop the money for a while. If she quit then you know you where just an ATM for her, if she is still by your side, then you find one of the good thai girls, as you can believe in and build a life with.

 

Good luck

Ahhhh yes, my one is different.

[bbi1]

 i take care her, we travel in thaiand and asia. stay usually high end accomodations and travels usually by planes or taxis. eating in good places.
dont need to say i pay for everything of course.
And she also lived with me in my home country for 1 year. i gave her about 15k-20k every month for her expenses

What you are describing here is not a gf but a prostitute.

[garrya]

The more you give, the more they ask for. Buy a ring, and a necklace is gonna be needed. 

Get a cow, and a buffalo is needed.

 

Now you have learnt the lesson.

[Enzian]

OK, I'm going through the same right now, and she's half my age and I could write a book on all I've done for her these past five years, and yes she has returned value. They want SECURITY, whatever that means in any particular case, and in my case I could not take the step of marriage. I just drew the line finally when she asked me to cover a family emergency which did not seem appropriate from my western point of view. So it may be over, we're separated, no legal chains, I've never bet more than I was willing to lose. It hurts, a little. Suffer and move on; or don't.

i am not talking of a pro

just try to think one minute

and ask yourself why the bird is on the side?

i mean why a usualy young attractive girl is having sex on a regular basis with an usualy old unatractive man?

it's sex for benefit, you can name it as you want, but if you pay a girl for a sexual service

even if the payement is with gift like a car or phone or whatever, it's not a love affair

it's business, even if you are the only customer
