I met a Thai man who was very nice. Id like to know some other women's experiences with Thai men and what to look out for. Thanks! Look forward to the reply!

Can you please define what you call "very nice". I mean what was so special about him that has moved you into posting?

I am just curious as to what other men you met are like.. also.

I agree, more information required Generally speaking I would say to be careful with guys from the islands or any heavily touristic areas...of course there's lovely guys there too, but many are just looking for a farang girlfriend.

Yeah i agree! Be careful! !There is a lot more than meets the eye in most cases!!!!!

Can you be more specific? That's like asking what "farang women" are like. Even those of us on this forum are very different people, so are Thai men. Of course, we can trot out the stereotypes, but that wouldn't tell you anything about the guy you like. And even with the stereotypes, there are exceptions to the rule.

Where did you meet this man? Is he giving you any signals that he's only after one thing (sex/money) or is he more respectful? Does he speak good English (I'm assuming you don't speak Thai)? What sort of things are you worried about? More info would be helpful.

What NR??? Thai men aren't all the same??? You must be joking. Here I was under the impression that they were all misogynistic, wife-beating, gambling, cheating, lazy alcoholics. You mean some of them don't beat their wives?

Anyway, now that I have that out of my system, Thai people are, amazingly enough, just like everyone else. Its easy enough to make some broad generalization based on cultural norms but there are always those who don't fit in, or who subscribe to different norms.

My husband is a nice man, doesn't drink, smoke, gamble or cheat, is not lazy and is a decent honest person. His brother, on the other hand, is a big gambler, quit smoking years ago, doesn't drink much tho, and is as lazy as they come. Same parents, only 5 years apart. Older brother is similar to my husband. So, what went wrong with the other brother? Who knows. Hubby claims he got the bad genes from mom's side of the family

Use your judgment, your common sense and your brain.

I met my Thai man three and a half years ago and we've now been married 16 months. He's a great guy but we have our dodgy moments!

Shortly after meeting him, I was at a party, with a surprising number of farang women with Thai partners, and got into a conversation with one of the women. She told me (with her tongue pressed firmly into her cheek!) that most Thai men have four bad traits - laziness, gambling, infidelity and alcoholism. She explained that some men have all of them while a rare few have none, but generally most of them have a mix of two or three.

Ever since then I've observed that she was generally right. The thing is, if you apply the same logic to farang guys, you're likely to get a similar result!

All men - Thai, farang, whatever should be judged individually on their own merits. We'd be pretty p*ssed off if we were judged only on the basis of being farang women, wouldn't we?

You sure that wasn't me mcl???

They usually 'very nice' at the initail of relationship.

So can most men, it usually includes the hope of a reward for the work required to hook the girl.

There are good and bad fruits in every tree, so pick wisely.

Wow. Thanks for the feedback. In terms of the guy, he was really nice in the beginning, then when he realized I maybe was interested, I saw some power trips coming up and other things that put me off. Im no longer interested. In reference to the more info.,I know every individual is different, but it is good to get the broad idea of what to watch out for when first walking into something. Thanks for the feedback, it truly is helpful.
