hey girls!

i've only been here in bangkok for over a month now, working for a law firm. i could say i really am lovin' BKK! since i am single, i am also looking forward to meet thai boys-- i find them really cute and interesting

actually, i already met one who strikes my fancy, but i don't really know how thais approach dating. how do i get to have him respond to me without being too forward? i am actually starting the friendship routine, but am so curious to find out how they do the dating scene here...

is the language barrier going to pose a problem?

all opinions i would appreciate!

Do it as you would in Farangland. From my experience working in an international law firm in Thailand is that socializing is similar to the West. Go out for drinks after work, go shopping during lunch in little groups. That will give you some opportunities to catch your prey. Where is your firm located near? Silom? (That's where they all are.)

my office is located in the Asok area. But I would really want to meet some locals, as I am interested to know more about Thai culture! It wouldn't hurt to get to know more Thai boys though. Any suggestions?

You work for a law firm and yet you are interested in boys?

Let me rephrase that. Of course I am interested in meeting Thai men But I find the boys cute as well!

Not sure you will find any thai boys to date given you are probably over the age of 16 yourself but there will be some men around who you might find attractive

Well being on Thaivisa is a good start. The local Bangkok "crew" has regular outings. Invite yourself and come along. It is usually a mixed crowd of Thais and Farangs.

when do you do the meet-ups? that is another thing on my list, as i would love to expand my social circle here in BKK! i love to party and would like to discover more of the awesome nightlife here. i've actually been looking for straight bars, as most of my friends are gay and they always take me to silom hahaha.

let me know when i can tag along!

Learning to speak the local lingo can impress them quite a bit and get them interested in knowing what kind of person you are. I'd ask the guy to teach me a few phrases and take it from there..

i think that's a great idea, but now i think i would like to start meeting new people first and their culture, rather than focusing on dating

Good idea, I think a month in country is not long enough to jump into the dating scene. Learning some langauge, getting a social circle & having a good support network of friends is the first thing to get sorted. Once that is there, you will have learned a lot more & gained more confidence, also having a group of freinds will keep most predatory men away. Those kind of men can spot vunerable people (like someone new to the country & without friends or family to take care of her for example ) & will exploit that. So concentrate on freinds first.

Wouldn't bother if I were you...they are all woman beating, alcoholic gamblers :D

oh shit, yeah i forgot about that bit Mssabai

Now now mssabai. You forgot the lazy, useless and womanizing part too.

Flash some money around bellestar, You might be ok then.

A hint, BygonKeaw, trolling in the Ladies forum will get you axed pretty darn quick

Personally, I couldn't agree more with you. It would be a lot wiser to familiarise with the culture and the people around.

me too- unfortunately the most immediately accessible people in thailand (or probably anywhere) are often the last people you should get involved with. i learned that the hard way when i was a newbie. take it slow.

Check him out(background/family) first girl, beware there are lot of Gang bangers in the Thai Male population.

Please explain in detail thanks

ok let me rephrase that, actually am curious to find out more about them in general, but if money is the object, i cannot operate on that one

Suggest you read the forum rules closely BygonKeaw. And google is your friend.

If you work for a law firm in Asoke I would think there are plenty guys around in the morning on their way to work with their Lattee.....just smile, maybe when you are in 7/11...or in the elevator, you would be amazed......it is the same in Thailand as everywhere. What do you mean by "locals"....everyone that is Thai of course is "local" to Thailand.....or do you mean the poorer working class people....If you are posted to BKK with a foreign law firm I would assume you are reasonably mature in age....are you after a "toyboy"...I get the impression you are looking down at the "locals"....maybe I am wrong but just be the same as you are at home....anyone that is of your stature will speak perfect English so the language barrier will not be a problem....good luck on your hunt
