Has anyone had a good experience dating/marrying a bar girl or prostitute in Thailand?

[SingAPorn]

Ok we get it. Not all bar girls, part-time hookers or freelance prostitutes are bad..not all...and the other way, not all decent appearing bank executives are the crème-de-la crème. Fine. Roger that

 

But how can you be sure you hit on the right one, considering that the falang is always openly or secretly considered mainly as the the golden goose, not matter how much the newly met lady may try to convice that she is not with you for your ca$h,.  despite the 20 year age difference ?!! .-)

 

Many women in Thailand or Japan are masters in the art to lure in the guilable and once the papers signed, the nightmare can start

 

So what to do ?

 

Simple. Like anything else, don't buy, rent !! And if possible, start to look around in other Asian countries that are culurally more respectful towards foreigners, compared to what Thailand has become.

I am getting married later this year.

My soon to be wife is the best woman I have ever met.

We met in London in 2020 during Covid and our love grew from there.

 

She was a single mother at 19 and came from an area in Thailand known for poverty. I don’t think she would have chosen to do it if she had other options. She didn’t do it because she was greedy and a drug addict. 
 

She has built a nice home for her parents and her children (she has 2, the youngest I might adopt, but has the body of a teenager) and supported them all and brought them up to a middle class standard of life. She has also bought some land which she rents out and a condo in Pattaya which also gives her some passive income.

 

The culture is different here than in the west and she is highly respected for “taking care” of her family. And sex work is not frowned upon like in the West, with most Thai women doing some sort of sex work at some point of their lives. A lot of them are good girls who don’t even drink alcohol. My girl doesn’t have tattoos and thinks they are “dirty”.

 

Thai women are famous for it all around the world. It is an acceptable occupation for the pretty women to get them out of the poverty trap. My wife is a real head turner.

And smart. Very smart.

How many people do you know that have never paid for a Thai woman? Not many I bet.

A lot of westerners I have met with Thai women make up stories about how they met and you know they are living a lie. 

A few of my long time friends back home said some nasty things about her and I chose to never speak to them again. Other friends have got to know her and think she is great.
Not a single Thai has said anything untoward as it is normal here.
 

I have never been happier and we are at an age that we will happily settle down together. I haven’t got a crystal ball but sometimes you “just know.”

 

Love conquers all.

 

 

you need to wake up and stop believing everything your girlfriend/wife tells you.  

Sorry to tell you this, but other Thai women do look down on girls working in bars.

 

an example, one of my friends is always with a different bar girl.  He came to a party we had when opening a new office. All the office girls talked about 

the bar girl he brought to the party for the next week.  Thai women gossip so much!!

Some time ago I saw an interview with an Arab guy. They talked about women and the Arab guy said they had a word for prostitute and another word for a slut (a woman who goes with many guys without payment).

Both words were swearwords if you wanted to insult someone.

The funny part is that prostitute was the milder version of a swearwords, slut was a very strong swearwords.

And the explanation was/is: If she has to go with many men to make money to live, then she does that because she has no other choice. But if she doesn't have to do it and still goes with many men, then she is obviously someone really undesirable.

I found that very interesting. 

 

Quotes from misogynistic cultures about women say more about the speaker than the subject of the quote.

 

And what's the 'Arab guys' word for a man who sleeps with lots of women .... I'm guessing it's not a negative term.🙄

[bkk6060]

They usually give good sex and talk a good game.  Many guys fall for it most not smart enough to figure it out.

And, how can you really ever trust them?   I know married guys to these girls and they sure put up with a lot of BS.

Up to you.

A 20 year age difference is not that much to suspect her of being necessarily a gold digger. A lot of girls are naturally attracted to more mature and experienced guys. But if the age gap is 30-40 years (common theme in Thailand), you may start being suspicious.

of course, but thats because the bar girls represent a threat to normal girls.

 

women that give up sex easily (bar girls, sluts) take competition away from girls who want men to settle down with them, buy them a home, etc .... 

 

so of course bar girls are hated by mainstream girls. It's a bit silly to try to mix the two worlds and take a bar girl to a party with normal people.

Define "prostitute."

Most women I've met could fall into that category other than hard-core feminists.  It's amazing how "wet" a Western farang gal can get for a wealthy, handsome guy especially one who is also a total Dick Richard, or a band member, or pro athlete, or socially connected, or economically connected.  Off come the skirt and it's horizontal mambo time.

Then you come to a third-world or developing world country where the concept of Christian-morality isn't at the top of anyone's list.  Even here in Thailand what is considered to be "traditional conservative Thai values" were in fact Western conservative Christian values that were imposed on the Thai natives by the leader of the 1932 Siamese Revolution by the military leader Plaek Phibunsongkhram.  He implemented the "Thai Great Tradition" and the "12 Thai Cultural Mandates".  The mandates go a long way in explaining Thailand nationalism as well as their dislike and distrust of foreigners especially at the elite levels of society.  Well, not that many farangs study history nowadays, no less Thai history.

 

But back to conservatism. 

 

What is pronounced a Thai cultural conservatism in dress and action was actually the result of Thai cultural mandate Number 10 implemented circa Jan 15, 1941.

• "Thai people should not appear at public gatherings, in public places, or in city limits without being appropriately dressed. Inappropriate dress includes wearing only underpants, wearing no shirt, or wearing a wraparound cloth."
• "Appropriate dress for Thai people consists of:
  • "Uniforms, as position and opportunity permits;
  • "Polite international-style attire;
  • "Polite traditional attire."

So essentially in one fell swoop - just like that - Thais were mandated to embrace Western attire and Western morality.  This was force on them by their military "leaders."  Thai conservatism isn't an "organic" occurrence.  It was mandated.  (Caveat - some of those outlawed dress styles like "wraparound cloth" became culturally appropriate post 2014 with Prayut in charge as Thai began to re-embrace their culture dress from the past.)

So you now have a very conflicted society, one that on the surface espouses conservatism in dress and morals, but underneath the facade? 

Giks, mia nois, shower massages (òp-àap-nuat), curtain hotels, karaoke bars (you think they just sing?) and that's basically a Thai cultural phenomenon geared for Thai men and one that is "Shhhhhh" rather disavowed unless you interact with Thai culture and society at a deeper level than foreign tourists, or even expats, encounter.

Then there is the bar scene geared specifically toward farangs and other foreign men.  And this scene gets all the attention in the press ("Don't look at the Giks, mia nois, shower massages (òp-àap-nuat), curtain hotels, karaoke bars - look at the bad farang sex-pats!!!")
So the gals who engage in the farang bar scene obtain the hypocritical labels Western men reserve for "loose women," e.g. "whores, prostitutes, sluts, etc," which of course is actually reflective of Western Christian morality.  "But I'm an Athetist!  Grrrr."  Yeah, but you reflect Christian morality with your actions and your language, "Bar-girls are all Whores!"  and "yada yada yada." 

Now - "Go native" and live here long enough outside the confines of farang gated communities and farang social clubs - and you see the realities pretty clearly: Sex in Thailand is a commodity and its widely for sale. Those engaged in the sex trade could be your next door neighbor (gigs and mia nois).  In the cities your next door neighbor could be working in karaoke bars or in shower massages.  The perky little university gal living in the next apartment over could be a side-line girl in a shower massage to pick up a quick 1000 THB before heading to the clubs, or finding sugar daddies on Tinder and other social media platforms.  Even your female "caddy" at your golf course probably makes significantly more money from her after hours liaisons with her day-time clients by "straighten your putter" on the 19th hole rather than what she makes by handing you your putter on the 18th hole.

But for the average expat or tourist closeted in their own cultural and social worlds - you don't see what is below the surface in plain sight. 

So do "bar-girls" make a "good date" or a "good wife?"  Well - as good as any Thai women who works in that particular trade be it in the Western farang community or the Thai male community.  It has a lot more to do with true Thai "culture" than it does a Thai woman's temporary choice of rather lucrative jobs.

 

 

great comment. thanks for that little piece of history. back to my office girl....she's different.

Another bull<deleted>, bar girls is not one homogeneous group where everyone is the same. Most bar girls I hanged out with, was sporty, had good language, drink little, and was far from any girls often described here. As much the girl, it is also about the bar they work. Some bars keeps their girls all evening to sell more beer, have more guests, instead of running short time business and cheap bar fines. 

 

It is more about the bars you frequently visits, and the girls who goes with you.

In principle I agree with you. And I don't bring my gf to any of those parties because of that (and the fact that she doesn't want to see those office girls as well).

 

But those office girls, or basically any group of females, almost always find something bad about that outsider of the group. It seems that is part of the female nature.

That's kind of like saying someone got murdered in Johannesburg and someone else got murdered in Frankfurt so Johannesburg and Frankfurt are equally dangerous when it's obvious that there is a big difference between the two.

I remarried with a bar girl from Pattaya 17 year ago. We have a wonderful relationship and have beautiful kids. We love each other to bits. And still live in BKK.

 

Take what you want from that. But it's the truth.  

Did you never love her, or did it just take a while to realise that you had made a mistake?

True, or they just had enough money and left it for something else.

I was never in Johannesburg, but I know in Frankfurt there are good and bad people. Probably in Johannesburg there are also good and bad people.

How many in each place? I don't know.

Then it's up to us individually to where in each town we go, and which parts we avoid. And then which people we meet and maybe trust.

 

I knew a girl who used to be a cashier (really) in a bar for many years, and then she worked for years in an accounting company.

I asked her about her experience. She told me that mostly she prefers the girls in the bars because they are more straightforward and not lying as much as the office girls. I know that is only her personal opinion, but I still found it interesting - and I am not really surprised.

There are, or at least used to be, also many girls who start in bars because someone near to them put them in that business. The big sister, the mother who wants money, the Thai boyfriend who wants a new motorcycle, etc.

Not always, but at least with the younger girls, that was not unusual. 

And if they are only in the business because someone else told them, then at least some of them are happy to get an opportunity to get out again.
