My girl friend is different is a common joke among expats and male tourists who is visiting Thailand frequently, and Im wondering where is the best place to meet a girl friend in Thailand, who you are willing to invest in? 
 

If Im going to guess, most I know is together married or not, with girls who chased foreigners to get a decent life. Non of us ask each other where we met, and we really do not care, but my guess, most of us met a girl who for sure have a history. Common for everyone, they speak decent english, know western culture and food, and very few have higher education. Not everyone is from Isaan, just to mention. 
 

 

Met mine in a language school 20 years ago, I still can't speak Thai ????

People can post this stoopid batman meme as much as they like, but I did meet my Chinese Thai wife on Tinder. She works in industrial manufacturing, knows more about cars than any of you, in the old days opened dozens of 7/11 franchises for her clients and makes a lot more money than your British government pension. 

 

I also never paid for sinsod, never asked me for a single baht and since she is a pure Chinese she hates everything about Thai women including sending money for sick buffalos, brothers with pickup trucks, doesn't lend money to anyone and takes care of me 100%.

 

Can't wait for a bunch of trolls to start posting the obvious how she must be old and ugly.... probably from the same people who pay to be touched.

Some people win the lottery, most do not

Nearly every woman I ever had sex with I met in a bar.

1st time, met her in a Bar during a church youth club camping trip to Alderney.

1st wife met her in a University bar Bath.

1st Thai lover, met her in a ChiangMai bar.

 

 

Essentially, without bars I'd probably still be a virgin.

Soi Cowboy.. Bangkok 

Met current wife at sis's restaurant/food stall, at a 'Thai' night market.  At the time, was one of a few, if that, of farangs that visited that market, as larger more popular areas (that I avoided) were nearby.

 

She turned me down numerous times, for lunch & dinner when asked.   Quite frankly, the only female that ever did, in social setting.

 

Only after 6 months of observing me with my daughter at the market, and sis's stall (took la aroi), did she finally warm up to the idea of dating a farang.

 

17 yrs later, all is good, married for 9 of them.  Didn't want to rush into anything, as two 2 yr courtships and one 11 week courtship didn't last long after married.

I'm not in the market for a Thai girlfriend, but I couldn't help but notice that Café Amazon girls are, more often than not, polite and beautiful. Some are also quite flirty.

What will be the next question, how to win the lottery in Thailand?...

Phone stores, Cheron glasses stores. In markets working and shopping.

I'll start the ball rolling. I don't believe you -  none of it.

through an introduction from a friend - - an arranged marriage of sorts - good for me as I never chose too well when it came to women...

Thats good for you, well done of your friend. Myself would never introduce any lady to a man, neither my wife. To risky

You can find a girl/woman everywhere, but she being your friend is another question. And that is not only Thailand.

Ah, Alderney! 

 

2000 alcoholics clinging to a rock in the middle of the English Channel!

 

Was she a local? Is so you must have doubled the gene pool!

My vote anywhere; I met my wife in Tokyo through her married sister-GOOD LUCK!

Girl on holiday!

Never asked her name or where she was from.

Girlfriend #1 was from a Bangkok family but we were in Khon Kaen. One day I asked here where she was (Thai conversation she didn't speak English):

 

Her: I am at the xyz hotel with some of my girlfriends from Bangkok.
Me: Oh, what are they like?
Her: They are very pretty
Me: Will I get to meet them?
Her: No.
Me: Why not?
Her: You may run off with some other girl but it's not going to be because *I* introduced you to her

 

However, many years later, I actually did end up running off and marrying one of her friends but not one of the above girls.

I met my wife on a blind date. And that's not a joke!

I have a Thai friend in England who, unbeknown to me had been calling around friends an family, trying to fix me up on a date after she'd learned I was visiting her home town of Chiang Mai.

The date in question ended up being one of the strangest days I have ever had but against the odds we clicked and are still together 17 years later.

 

 

 

 

Most expats hire girlfriends for long time:

To some, finding a good lady in Thailand is like winning the lottery! 

 

I guess the same goes for the thai girls looking for a good wealthy man! Some is lucky, some is not

Not only gf, lover, chef, cleaner, cook, driver, caretaker, nurse,  economic responsible and shopping. Pick your choices wisely. 

 

Others get a partner for life and a best friend which I believe it is how it should be.

Guess their behaviour is much "up to you"  :

it you are nice and honest, they are the same, wherever "they come from".

If not,.....

But there are, as for the rest of the world, culteral differences  which you have to sort out ????

Yes. I guess it's hard to believe if you live in a bar.

Finding a gf is easy.  Literally in Bangkok or Pattaya you can find one in a day.

But, finding one that you can communicate with, have a meaningful conversation and who asks you questions and seems interested in your life is more difficult.

Seems extremely desperate and shallow to me when I see some using Google translate to communicate. 

I met all my girlfriends online. Mostly Tinder, but one on TF. I've been together with one of the Tinder ladies for over 5 years. No dead buffalos or sick grannies involved, and my missus makes more money than I do.

Yes, I got chit chattin' to the Mitsubishi service rep a couple times, when taking the car in for service, and dated her for a while.

 

Couple other 1 month or 3, relationships were met while out at Thai music/bar/restaurant venues, locally, so I think non working gals.

 

First Thai wife, classic meet on  Phuket holiday ????, but escaped unscathed, luckily.  Actually turning a small profit on land/house sale via POA.  A little paperwork protection goes a long way.  All good, as I wouldn't have met my 2nd Thai wife or daughter if not living in Udon Thani.

Any of those places does me.
