Wanna Be Writer Needs Interviewees

Featured Replies

I am proposing to write a series of articles on Thailand, at this point primarily concerned with personal relationships that develop between tourists and Thais. Particularly interested in those that transition from "meet in bar - GF/BF - get married - have kids -divorce" or there-abouts. Not intending to be all negative so would like to find happy endings as well.

Propose to delve into the sex tourism (male and female) aspects as well if possible.

Legitimate reasons and client (Pulitzer Center) for series.

All interviews treated confidentially. Please contact me by PM.

Just to add an extra piece of information that arose from a PM

I am looking for personal accounts mostly. I live here (KP) so I also see them daily but I was aiming to delve deeper than what is the public perception. The why if you must. What has been the upside/downside? How does a Farang/Thai relationship differ perhaps to a F/F relationship (if there is a difference).

I am interested in women who have found a Thai husband as much as men finding a Thai wife again looking at the pros and cons.

For the men, I was also interested in exploring the nature of bar girl/farang relationships, their integration into western living for instance, their acceptance by others, are there any stigmas real or perceived attached etc.

In the end I am hoping to put together 2 or 3 articles looking at different aspects.

On some of the forums there is a lot of "he didn't read the book" sort of comments over failed relationships. I was hoping to get to people for their insights before they reach that point.
