Im 6'2" 120kg mate so fairly big by any measure. But tbh even with reasonable Thai language skills most "traditional" issan girls are very shy and reserved. Add to that the stigma that still remains in a lot of places that being seen with a falang means that you are on the game in some way means, yes some girls are very toey about speaking with you. I would also add a LOT of the girls i am speaking of want zero to do with falangs anyway and tbh if your 20 years plus older than them, dont take care of yourself have zero interest in their language, culture or traditions why the fxck would they? Not sure how long The King of Isaan has been king but my experiences dont match his. Not terrified perhaps but im sure you get what i mean. This doesnt apply obvi to girls in bar/entertaimment areas but up North in many towns girls definitely aint flocking to your pasty white butt and striking up a conversation with a random glamour in Isaan if you dont want bar girl takes time and persistance. Sort of like a real relationship even ???? Edited August 10, 2022 by starky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the one-legged German guy in his 50s hanging out in front of the hischools of Chaiyaphum? He offered the girls what their parents made in a month, at the time about 4000. He was quite successful until he picked up a policeman's daughter. If you wanna do this today in front of KKU, you probably should offer 30,000. And I guess you might be successful. BTW The German guy was deported. Edited August 10, 2022 by Lorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I have met many that have travelled to Phuket for "work" and they most definitely are interested! I have friends who are very assertive, they step up to the plate often, all over Thailand, and you would be amazed how high their batting averages are.

Now its brick walls, corrugated iron roofs that don't leak, toilet in the house, never seen a kid with scabies, all kinds of work but usually no field work. That's done by machines. 20 years ago, the farmers of Buriram walked to their fields, many had a bicycle. Later they switched to motorcycles. Now they rent a tractor (noticed the buffaloes disappeared?) I don't know every single village in Isaan. The places I know are mostly in the 2 (statistically) poorest provinces, as I said. I don't doubt your experience. But it's not the norm anymore. You mean toilet like this? Once again you are generalizing what you think you know, which is just not the truth. Get out into the very rural Isaan and you will see housing hasn't changed in these areas 38 km to nearest 7/11 You will still see entire villages like this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every household has access to a car, for years already (noticed that public transport disappeared?). You get seed money from friends and family and from your employer (like if you live at the place of work). Many, many people have relatives abroad, married to a farang or working in Korea. Some do have a microwave, but their mother's like to cook on fire. By mortgaging. And the banks (mostly the agricultural bank) is pressing people to take out loans. We are talking 6 or 7-figure sums. This was Thaksin's economic policy (advised by Morgan-Stanley, copying countries like eg Peru). The junta continued it. I don't say it's a good policy. I am certainly more educated than you are. But our experiences obviously differ widely. That's not a reason to insult me. Sorry you are not more educated than me, if you have any education at all? You don't get a bank mortgage without the ability (income) to pay it back. If you don't know that, go back to first grade. Need money to buy a prepaid phone card. Money, money, money. Not every household has access to a car, that is just an outright lie. You get seed money from your employer when you are manually cutting rice in the fields for 200 baht per day? Totally uneducated BS comment. No one would loan these people 5 baht. No one married to a farang any one near my area, no one working in Korea either. More of your BS. You simply have no idea how it works do you? All you self-educated BS'ers, please do not invade this peaceful existance in rural Isaan. There is no one here (no farangs) to listen to your BS stories, no income, no jobs, stores, restaurants. That is just a fact of life here. Stop spinning your fables, it makes you look foolish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freely admit that I am not at all assertive in that sense - I spent my prime in the clubs and bars of central London got sick of the pick-up scene many decades ago. It's only the pros or freelancers that I am interested in these days - I can't be bothered with the BS games of civvies and am not looking for a wife/girlfriend/FWB. I was primarily in Buriram for the 2019 World Superbikes meeting, not to find girls, although I did visit the Victoria Centre (local walking street) in the evenings with my eyes open for any opportunities.

When you meet them in Isan, I would say most, at least those I have known become more chaste than the pope himself. Still not many sexy dressed women around in the villages to see on daily basis. Most lock the door and shut lights before 8 or latest 9 in the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List of Thai provinces by GPP - Wikipedia This list (2022) is NOT showing any area in Isaan making above 9,961 baht Been following your 'discussion' with another poster, and I have to say my own experience matches what you see. Not every resident owns a paddy field, and banks hardly want lots of paddy as collateral on their books. Granted a few banks got silly before Covid, but with the level of NPLs now in Thai banks (real NPLs, not the window-dressing accounting they have been allowed), few are looking to take in more paddy as collateral. Thai household debt is at an all time high. Overall, I know corporates issued debt at a multiple of GDP growth since 2011, which suggests the so-called Thai boom was just debt fueled. Given the current state of the banking system, on the bottom of the customer list is going to be Isaan. I do think one's view is a function of where one spends time in Isaan. Be adjacent to a major highway, things look not so bad. Houses are fairly new, running water and modern toilets common, even a (financed) car outside. Get a bit away from the major highways, and it's outhouses, leaky roofs, no jobs save for field work, and at best a beaten down motorbike. One sees old car batteries with wires attached running lights strung under a woven bamboo roof. if there is public electricity attached to the house, best to not assume it's properly grounded. Maybe there's a car in the area, and if yes, one can hire it, but most homes have no car parked outside. Everybody knows where the closest "7" is, but it's a long way off. If there are young people still in the village (more males than females), they might have a goal of working in a Big C or a petrol station. Some join the military. Again, others' experience may differ. What you write is what I have experienced. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
