Lets me see how many forum users talks nice about local women here, and especially those “fat ugly gals” back home? If you state positive things about women her, then the majority of the users who reply, have something negative to say and argue. I believe one to ten is positive about women who are active and reply or make topics. This fora is not exactly a positive fora of men, for men and by men. Negativity rules the forum. Well, I would estimate the number of independent western women living overseas (without the inevitable husband in tow) at less than 1% ( if that) of western expats. I’ve never come across one in fact. Most younger women would always return home to further career, marry & start families. A quite separate way smaller demographic with undoubtedly their own contact networks. Women by evolutionary design are not “wanderers” ; they ultimately stay close to original home & family rather than seek new ones like many men obviously do here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many women travels Asia, and also living in Asia, especially in Krabi, Phuket and Surat Thanis islands. Khao Lake as well Quite a few women in Chiang Mai and more in Pai. Last condo I lived in Hua Hin, 10% was western women out of the Western men living there. You might not see them, since they do not hang out at typical western men favorite places but they are around, and more than you would think. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about health insurance, pre existing conditions and age make it very expensive I was thinking that as there was a National Health Service, supplied free at point of need, supplementing that with some private cover might well be reasonable in the UK. Insurance is a complicated thing in Thailand ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird how they are never "normal" women however. They are always, bohemians, hippies, or some similar weird type. Not just a stereotypical woman you would see walking around a city in the USA, for example. The ones I have met always seem to be lesbian, or asexual.
