Ice Maiden Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Being seventeen and living in Thaialnd is quite hard on the boyfriend side of life for me. I'm not attracted to thai males and the farangs seem to be too old, ugly or taken. And if I was to try dating a thai is there any speed dating services or anything?

Ice Maiden Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hmmm seen it in Bkk, not so sure about Patters! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't like the sound of the way the thai males treat females though. Or having control of the relationship in the money side of things, I won't do that. I mean if I go on a date I don't like the sound of paying for everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) Ice Maiden - I've met some really nice thai lads who are married to farang women. They treat their ladies with heaps of respect. I wouldnt worry not all Thai men follow that stereotype. (judge each person on their own merits) I'm quite sure Boo/SBK can confirm the above!!

Plus+ Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hate to spoil the fun, but as Aunt Marge has said - bad blood will come out (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban). There will be a moment whey you'll be seen as a prize, a trophy, and when it will be cool to appear "detached" from you and indulge in a little side dish. Never fails with Thai men. Keep that in mind and thread cautiously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yes, but that doesn't seem to deviate too far from the general male population here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baht&sold Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) Yes, as a matter of fact, speed dating is put on here by the Bangkok Network of Women http://www.bnow.org and the proceeds go to rescue soi dogs in conjunction with http://www.soidogrescue.org Quote: "At Speed Dating, participants gathered at a bar. Each was encouraged to talked to someone of the opposite sex for five minutes. Once the bell rang, they had to split and begin befriending another person." "BNOW organised Speed Networking based on a similar concept. Participants met at the V9 Bar of the Sofitel Silom Hotel. Each was supposed to talk to another participant for about five minutes and move to another person once the organiser blew the whistle." Edit/ soidogrescue.org NOT .com (sorry) BTW, if you follow up on your plan to go to Bangkok Uni, you'll be in the speed dating center of Thailand Edited August 9, 2005 by baht&sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Maiden Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) I'll try meeting a few thai males my age then. Appriciate everything you have said though, I'm thinking more positive about them now. But I can never be too careful.

Boo Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 It's worth being careful with any boy you meet but don't beleive every stereotype you have heard about thai boys, they are pretty much the same the world over & not all thais are poor & would expect you to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaina Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I wouldn't imagine too many younger men attending a speed dating event. Maybe you should take a look at what international schools are in your area and try to figure out where the students hang out after school. Even though many international schools still have a very Thai bent to them, I think the students are still going to have a somewhat Western outlook. Some students may even be Westerners. I know most on this end will be too young but you never know. I think it may be too hard to deal with dating and cultural issues when at this time in your life. The relationships you have now really will set your expectations for later on. (AKA baggage.) I know that some Thai fathers take their teenage sons to prostitutes (some wealthy students I taught, in fact.) Not all, but just be aware of that fact.
