You are a great poster, and I learned a lot about Thailand from reading you. I hope you post more. As to the Fred show, I like Fred when he’s talking about normal stuff. Like I asked him about hunting in Southeast Asia and he gave a very detailed and interesting answer. I also think he should be free to post in relationship threads without having his own relationships dragged into it , even if he brings these past relationships into it. No need to comment for 600 words on this, Fred. My new partner was married to a Thai man and then a western man. She’s still pretty un westernized and more what I would call western curious rather than western oriented. She thinks pizza and hamburgers are pretty disgusting. She says she likes classic rock but can’t name a single song. She believes a be carefully thought out matrix of donations to various religious statues is what brought us together. It’s a really good mix for me because I am a little bit Buddhist myself and moved here for the Thai culture, not the women. What do people think about dating Thai women who have had prior western partners? Is it easier or harder? This should probably be it its own thread. In my experience, there is often a lot of unresolved anger, but to put it crudely, they obviously like the genre and the flavor. Who here has ended up with someone full on rural Thai with less exposure to the west then if they met them in Bangkok or Phuket? When I met the famous Phuket girl, she definitely seemed more Thai than the usual young person I meet and she was from a little town in Issan.
