Good conversation starters

[Mekmong MICK]

Hi everyone

 

Hoping for some help / advice from some people with experience around good conversation starters. A bit of background about me - I've recently moved to Hua Hin after selling my successful dent repair business in Australia. I'm looking for companionship with a young Thai lady but am not sure how to approach a conversation / what are some good topics to start off what could be a lifelong romance. In Australia, I'd usually just say something like "gee you look alright" or "show us your knackers" or "fix us a sandwich would you, Darl?". But I am conscious this may not be as appropriate in Thailand. 

 

Any help for how to start a conversation would be really appreciated

Start up a dent repair business here in Thailand, you'll meet lots of chicks, they are terrible drivers.

Car dents mostly. Especially for insurance agencies

sounds like you are the typical gentleman come to Thailand to find true love... no social skills apparent so just flash the cash if you have any... I am sure that you will soon be in love.

If I had no social skills I wouldn't be making this thread looking to better myself.

 

I don't flash cash even though I have plenty, I am seeking genuine companionship

I'm not a mong and There's nothing wrong with my social skills.

 

You don't develop and grow a successful business like I did without social skills.

Panel beating and finding a good Thai woman are about as diverse as is get's! Talk about her fathers business!

Hi, my name is Mick, I'm 52, a sex tourist, and if you're as desperate as I am for company, I'd love to be your friend ....

 

 

 

 

... come back 

[OneMoreFarang]

It's easy.

Show her your wallet and tell her let's go!

That's the whole point.

She will answer something like: no university, no money.

And then you can be the knight in shining armor and help her.

[Mike Lister]

As starter you could ask, "what's your name".

 

As a follow on question you could ask her if she'll be paying tax under the Revenue's Por 161 ruling this year and will her DTA offer any relief........perhaps!

Yawn, you've been melting for nearly 24hrs at me.

 

You're as desperate to reply to me as I am to seek companionship with a local

My wallet did look like this when I went to the currency exchange at the airport and converted AUD into Baht

Good, then you have already a wallet full of cash.

Now just do it!

which implies you are of an age where 18 year olds would be extremely inappropriate... they are children.

Out of interest, how often did you try these lines and how often were you successful?

Just in case I ever go Down Under so I know how to behave.

They're common vernacular in Australia, I never had any problems
