Thai Women Are Not... "on The Take"

[IanForbes]

I've done this too..you have to choose carefully just like a taking a g/f.

But living with mates is a great laugh and no issues as if you want some hanky panky go and have some no jealousy if you want to sit down and be quiet no issues, if you want to smashed always a ready partner to help you.

no anniversaries to forget and get in trouble

no cr@ppy gifts or cards for birthdays christmas only going out to get smashed

no listening to stories about work colleagues only funnies not moaning

so many good things

Only downside is that erh sorry can't think of any???

!00% living with mates is great... no love, no sex, no hugging afterwards...tiss bliss hang on just like my mrs now

Great post, sanook2me!

I've said the same thing many times. Once you've raised your children then you're better off living with a good mate. No worries about a clean house. You get to watch sports on TV and not some sappy girlie movie. You can eat out or have take in depending on what either of you like. No need to pay for two and the toilet seat can be always up. The only thing missing is the very occasional bit of sex with the wife, and that can be rectified easily with the many available ladies that always are hanging around... hoping.

Ian, that's disgusting. It's a family member, <deleted>!

Here's a different perspective...I knew a Thai man who fleeced a Singaporean lady. We met them 7 years ago and he presented himself as her husband. Over the next 3 years, he grabbed as much as he could which was a lot....the lady always turned us for comfort. But when the breakup happened and she left the country...who did she come and visit 2 years later. Him...not us.

We also have a Thai lady friend who was introduced to the new Thai gf of an Aussie mate of mine. Speaking in Thai the very first thing out the new gf's mouth was, "I'm gonna grab as much as I can and get out" thinking our friend was her confederate.

These are my personal experiences...are they representative of the whole population?....don't know. My own experience with Thailand Elite though is starting to shape my opinion.

Gotta say, as people go, I ain't that keen.

Suffice to say my life here is really good, but I clobber any of these with a big stick if they try and take the pi$$. Mind you, if it wasn't for daughter here, I'd be off like a shot.

Woman are a story sometimes we man do not understand, woman oftenly do not understand what man are seeking, so gf's, marriages go wrong of misunderstandings. I agree with that it's a lot more fun to live with a few mates, because guys with guys is no problem, but girls with girls sometimes is! It's the nature of the woman. Woman can shut of their feelings completely if they need to, it's something we man mostly cannot. The woman mind, is still a study.

I'm sorry for your bad experiences Mike. I'm willing to take the risk. I feel good with my girlfriend. I things might go wrong, put a cold Singha ready for me, and a BBQ and let's have some fun Mike!

Okay Bart. If you're that sure. God knows we've spent a while on this one off camera.

When are you back over here?

[Datsun240Z]

Still need a job Mike. Need to survice over there. Since it's very hard to find an income in LOS. Still searching for the clue. I got some savings, to get around for a while there, but it's not enough. And I like to stay overthere for a few years. Come to rest, form the hectic western life here.

Hmmm takes 12hrs on a plane to get to thailand.... sorry a 12hr coach ride is a non-starter!!!

16.5 hours on the plane for me..14 from Vancouver to HKK..then HKK to LOS the 12 hour coach/bus ride she takes is Phuket to BKK.. not bad.. a vip..after the first time i was used to it..although its a bit hard to sleep..for me anyway

G,day, just wondering why you fly from Canada to HKK airport then on to Bangkok? HKK is a small airport in New Zealand. A much easier route would be too HKG (Hong Kong, Chep Lap Kok Airport) then on to BKK?

Anyway, cheers n beers,

Howdy..thanks for correcting..I meant HKG..YVR(vancouver) to HKG to BKK, as there are no direct flights yet. BTW folks..I will guess why many farang don't bother with the millions of Thai girls who are " not on the TAKE" These girls in general often do NOT put out ( have sex with you ) first or second date..this must eliminate alot of potential farang suitors for them I guess..if SOME farang could think with the big head instead of the little one all the time.. they would find in short order ( with a tiny bit of patience) that they would be getting what they wanted soon enough

[Boater]

Her and I used to fly several times together from Phuket to BKK

ypu could get a plane cheaper if you booked in advance

[Datsun240Z]

Women are dangerous things full-stop and should generally be avoided. I was thinking about this recently. Live with your mates. I spent the last 10 years living on horrible regeneration sites with my mate Ian. He's site manager and I'm technical manager. And we're very happy together.

I've done this too..you have to choose carefully just like a taking a g/f.

Okay, you convinced me.

How do I get her to leave?

Women are indeed evil, not only with farang but especially with Thai men. All day nagging for money, that he's too lazy, doesn't take care of them, they're often addicted to sex or gambling and driving the poor man crazy.

Gonna call a few mates, I guess 2 or 3 would be great.

Let's start a commune of mates.

Beer, barbecues, building kit cars, sailing, talking <deleted> whilst pi$$ed, soft porn mags on the kitchen table, bit of DIY, oogling, curry's, oogling curry's, music . . .

I like this idea !

[JimsKnight]

I did the Bangkok - Phuket and back on the wrong bus. My backside was sore for a week either side of the journey.

Mate, you want to try the Sungai Kolok to Chumpon slow train!

Near 12 hours on a wooden bench and it stopped seemingly every 5 minutes!

The only foreigner (usually a good thing) except the rabble that seemed to be getting on were nothing I'd experienced in 10 years of travelling Thailand!

[cognos]

i suppose you could say that many sex tourists are 'On the take" as well..some pay extra to "deflower" the young woman and start her down the path of "no return"

[Texpat]

People without the common sense to see what's going on around them continue to amaze me.

How has Darwinism allowed this to continue? Gradually, peacefully, humanitanillarily -- more oftenly abruptly, shockingly, unbelieveably --

Dum people produce dum outcomes. How dumb are you? If you were being taken by a farang, would you be any wiser? I doubt it.

Slugs shak-up with and marry slugs. Nothing wrong with that. Not every Prince in Shining Armor is gonna meet some damsel in distress with nice t!ts and a firm donkey.

Problem is that most dorks in stained armor think they deserve better than a saggy-chested hag with crooked teeth and a big heart.

That's where the friction arises.

hey sanmiguellight..have 6 more..and I don't give a CRAP what you think..whether you are jealous and can't get a Thai lady thats "not on the take" or whatever reason for your negativity...and texpat..the 'friction' arises when farang with a proclivity for BG's can't understand why some farang get the ones they wish they had..

When someone goes out of their way to ramp up the "Thais are good" meter and bang on about the positive attributes (perhaps) of his nearest and dearest, then I am suspicious. Why ? because most people who are really in that position are just quiet about it.

I go out of my way to "ramp up the Thais are good meter" to counter all the people who go out of their way to put down Thai women and Thais in general on Thai visa. My wife has 6 sisters and 2 brothers..all are married..none to farang except my wife to me..all the Thais in her family are good people...save for one "black sheep" ( they say that..not me )..and I think he's okay, but I know why they call him that..and TORRENOVA .. you may believe my posts or not...I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK..FACT is stranger than FICTION..there are so many good stories of farang and Thai women..but I guess most of those guys ain't on Thai visa..or they don't want to risk getting "slammed" by the "troglodytes" on Thai visa..but I don't care about them.. I care about the farang that may think twice and actually use their BIG HEAD when considering their nearest and dearest. You SHOULD be suspicious..I've only been to LOS 7 times but have seen about TWICE as many loser farang per capita in LOS than in Farang land ..but I will take the high road and give you the benefit of the doubt, because I have no axe to grind

[lioness]

I know of an Isan girl who used to prefer the bus to save her Farang money she said, what she didn't tell him was that it also enabled her to see her Thai boyfriend while she was away.

[bkkdawg]

All that saved flight money should just be enough to pay for the sick buffalo!

Flying to Bangkok

Get a bus into town - no time to sleep

From town get a taxi to the airport - no time to sleep

Check in for your flight 1 hour before flight time - no time to sleep

Sit and wait a while - go to departure - no time to sleep

Sit and wait a while - then board plane - no time to sleep

Flight and arrive Bangkok - maybe sleep a little

Get off plane and wait for baggage

File out of airport

Stand in a long queue and get in Taxi

Taxi takes you to destination

VIP bus to Bangkok

Get a bus into town - no time to sleep

Get on VIP bus - Sleep, sleep, sleep

Arrive Bangkok Morchit and get taxi - usually minimal wait if any

Taxi takes you to destination

Last time I visited the Uk I flew from Khon Kaen to Bangkok. Never again, what a hassle. Especially with having to transfer between airports.

Contrary to popular western media common perception, and the perception of many farang in LOS, the VAST MAJORITY of Thai women are absolutely NOT "on the take"..in other words..they are GENERALLY NOT out to : fleece the farang of his money / rip him off / aid in a motorcycle helmet scam / cut off his junk (just kiddin' on that one) / extract as much money as possible from MR Farang. The Thai women I am alluding to comprise the 10's of millions of regular everyday Thai women from all walks of life. On the contrary..Mr Farang may have a hard time MATCHING their JAI DEE nature. They want to give as much or more BACK TO YOU as they receive..be that LOVE or material things. THATS why Thai women make some of the best wives in the world. My wife had to go back and forth to BKK several times in the visa process for various things and business as well..probably at least 10 times..with or without me, she always insisted on taking the over night bus instead of the airplane ( airplane one hour, bus 12 hours..and a pit stop at CHUMPOON at 1 am with music blaring.. just as you are finally "asleep" ) She has done this at least 8 times on her own the last year. I try to tell her to "take the plane..its not expensive..never mind..tam sabaii..my bpen rai..karunaa!!" but she always says the same thing..." I take bus teraaak..I need you SAVE YOUR MONEY" The ironic and sad thing is that I have met a few Thai 20 something female students studying in Vancouver,Canada on student visas ( I work in education) who say they felt the need to lie about their Thai nationality to locals, to avoid the sometimes scorn that they receive as a result of the western media perception, reinforced by many..

[loong]

For sure, not all Thai women are on the take.

Many are, but the idiot farang has to take some responsibility. The ones who allow themselves to be taken to the cleaners make it more difficult for the rest of us.

You have to remember that so many Thai women think that farang have unlimited resources. They honestly do not realise that once a man's life savings are gone, he will be poor. They just think that we have a money tree or something and it is easily replaced.

The amount of Sin sod that so many farang pay is just ridiculous, in some cases more than a village girl could earn in her lifetime. This sort of thing just strengthens the belief that farangs are rich and stupid enough to give away vast sums of money.

Yes, there are some women that are not on the take, but all of you that boast about your good wives ask yourself - "Would she have married me if my income was 5,000 Baht per month?" I think that in 99.99% of relationships the answer will be no.

If you're honest with yourselves you will accept that the primary factor in her deciding to have a relationship with you was money. Full stop. If you were poor, she would not have looked at you twice.

Would my gf be with me if I was poor? I don't try to kid myself. I know that the relationship would never have got off the ground if I had no money.

We have a good relationship now, but it has been difficult at times. Now she does realise that I have to limit my spending to stay within my income. That was the hardest thing for her to understand, that a farang only has access to limited funds.

You can understand it. If a couple start a relationship in the Uk or other farang country and the man makes a gift of a huge amount of money to the woman early in the relationship. Maybe 100,000 pounds, the woman will think "Wow, this guy is reaally rich" After all, nobody but a total idiot would hand over 100,000 pounds after knowing her for a few months unless he had multiple millions - would he?

Sailorman,

did you add anything to this post?

If you did, can you please remember to post outside of the quotes as I cannot see what you have added

[frankpelagic]

Maybe she is secretly married to the guy on the noodle stall in CHUMPOON

[wolfmanjack]

incorrect speculation but understandable..Her and I used to fly several times together from Phuket to BKK and vise versa..from nakorn si thammarat to BKK for eg. but after we were engaged a few years ago she insisted on taking the bus to "save your money"

If you are with her she will probably be able to overcome the fears - but I suspect she would not be happy to fly alone. Plus the intimidation factor (you are teated as terrorist suspect these days). Bus travel is much more common and fun for most people. And many/most seem to be able to sleep through anything so get a good rest.

right. My wife takes the bus down at night so she can get the 12 hours sleep which it seems she needs even here at home but when it is time to come back in the daytime she takes the plane.

[wolfmanjack]

Just like in the west when they marry they may not be looking at "only" the money or be "on the take" but after being married for a few years that seems to change. How many people in the west do you know that have married for love but then taken to the cleaners before and during the divorce?
