Your only choice is Bangkok due to a large number of international companies and educated women. My ex wife is single. Has a good job at working for S i em en s and rich paremts in the South near the beaches. Her only requirement is Farang baby whicj I couldn't deliver. Are U up 4 it? If it wasn’t for these dogs needing a yard I would be doing Bangkok anyway. I wonder how far out I would need to be for a 2 bedroom house with a yard to rent. I don’t want to go over $1,000 USD a month rent. 1 minute ago, jimn said: You are in the wrong country if you just want a normal relationship. It will be near nai impossible to find a girl who does not want paying. Every girl unless she comes from a rich family will want you to take care of her financially. This is not just bar girls. The girls who are here are in the main from a village somewhere and work here to support their family. Good luck with finding someone where money is not involved. I’m willing to pay the bills and everything if she will be a mother. I don’t want to be paying a salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on-line. It may take you a while to find what you are looking for, but online is the way to try to find that person. Of course, even online, you need to be selective. Finally, don't dismiss all bar girls as unworthy of consideration, many are trustworthy girls', just trying to survive and improve their lot in a tough World. They may not represent what you are wanting for a long term relationship, but even that has proved happy and successful for many a wandering expat. Hogwash. Any girl who has been part of the bar/prostitution scene in Thailand is seriously damaged goods... avoid them like the plague for long-term relationships. My Bonnie was a waitress in a small town in Texas when we first met and we've had a bang-up time together since then. 6 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero interest in anything related to this. Is Jomtien going to also be a bad choice for finding a potential long term relationship/wife as well due to its proximity to Pattaya? Would I be better off going to somewhere like Phuket or Hua Hin? I don’t drink so bars in general aren’t going to be of any appeal. My main interest in the general Pattaya area is the number of restaurants, quality hospitals, cost of living, and not getting obliterated by smoke season. Congrats, your still young(30's)and you know what you want. I do believe it's harder after the age of 30, than when you're in your 20's. A guy in his 30's is definitely considered an adult, where a guy in his 20's is still considered an extension of his teenage years. Most guys in their 30's obviously not only look older but have had a marriage/kids/divorce..but they are more mature and usually better off financially. I've been here in Thailand 18 months I've seen a few successes but they are rare. Most successes are older guys who have 40'ish wives who are very plain looking. As far as good looking girls go--one guy I know is 56 he's very well off financially, always been very smart, he has a nice much younger gf he looked around here in Pattaya area for 3 years to finally pick the right one. Another guy is 62 he has a much younger g/f, she's a marathon runner all he had to do was buy her a 15-20 million baht condo in Jomtien. I hang out with a lot of friends here in Pattaya, the guys who don't commit are happy 24/7. 90% of the guys who commit are unhappy at least half the time. The sex addicts are, of course, miserable. The alcoholics are, of course, happy lol. My advice to a guy in his 30's who knows what he wants? If you can be happy with a plain girl, you'll probably be alright. If you want a pretty girl you should really plan everything out to the nth degree otherwise you'll lose control and be miserable. If you have 1k-7k Euros a month I'd say VERY DIFFICULT you can get and keep a pretty girl. If you don't have 8k Euros a month you're young you can reinvent yourself and get it. I wouldn't try Thailand though, I'd probably go for a nice S. Korean girl who wants out of S. Korea(they work hard and are much better looking) or go for a nice Colombian girl(you can be 100% that they will take care of your kids). Yes, you can make Thailand work for you but it's simply too hard and you need a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai's don't have those options, or that kind of help. Why are you so dismissive of others who try to get out of their poverty, where is your empathy? I'd say this, you are not a good advert for such poverty programs if they produce attitudes like yours. ?

How do you know that? As I see it, there are different types of girls/women. The ones that like sex a lot, and the ones who only want to make it with their true love. Would you say that a man who had hundreds of different girls before meeting the right one and settle down is damaged goods as well? Also the expression damaged goods, is very much in the eye of the beholder. Some men like girls with great urge for sex and experience of it. The choice of a bar girl with that mindset, could just be compared to any other girl who has a steak of nymphomania in her veins. Sure, there are the ones that are forced into a life as a prostitute, and there you are probably 100 % right. However, that does not include any girl, like you expressed it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there was, I would not have used it. One thing for sure, you ain't going to find the mother of your children or love of your life on a Western/Thailand message board. You have to get out there and put yourself about and make friends with like-minded educated people and companions, that's how we did it, or I did anyway.!

Common interests, common ground, educational standards, likes, and dislikes. Be honest, the fizz goes out of sex after a while, and then it's down to being compatible. A large problem with Isaarn bar girls working in Pattaya is they have listened to friends who have married foreigners and live abroad, no doubt, the stories are spiced up to get the locals jealous, by the same such girls. This fuels the fire and the dream that the streets of London are paved with Gold etc There isn't going to be much in common if, for example, you have worked around the World in Oil and Gas, and she can only talk about the village and rice harvest upcountry.
