Richb2004v2 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Since moving to Pattaya I've noticed a number of western women who look to have settled here. Nothing like the number of men of course but a few. I just wondered what are the figures and if very many couples settle here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebBangkok Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes I have made friends with a lot of them. Mostly around my age, 30. Most of them are great, but some of them are really really jealous of Thai girls, its interesting listening to some of them when they are drunk and slagging of Thai woman. Of course this is a minority I think, but definitely not uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richb2004v2 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 What are they doing here and how long have they been here? I guess you are in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebBangkok Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What are they doing here and how long have they been here? I guess you are in Bangkok. All the ones I know work here, most of them for the UN. Yes I live in Bangkok, most of them really enjoy it here and the longest has been here for 4 years.

It's just silly to think that the only reason that Western women could be jealous of Thai women is due to Western men. I mean really, get over yourselves.

cheynewalk Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Interestingly, in thailand I rarely see women in relationships with thai men whereas in bali it is a far more common occurrence to see western women in relationships with balinese men. Also, in bali far more western couples settle here in retirement, I see very little of this in thailand either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fanatic Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Getting back to the original question (even though its far less entertaining ), a few couples retire here and remain happily married. Most retired couples (in my experience) separate fairly quickly once the husband realises he is incredibly attractive to far younger, local women. However, more often than not (again, in my experience) the wife stays here for whatever reasons. A tiny number of young Western women come here and stay here, compared to men. Additionally, a fair number of older men come here after a bad divorce - not something many Western women are likely to even think about as Thailand is not known as a wonderful place for women. Consequently, there are FAR fewer Western women than men that remain here. I'd be suprised if its even 1% Western women to 99% Western men.

Forum respondents have always hovered around 10% women 90% men. I'm not saying its indicative of Thailand as a whole as I don't think so and, in my experience, think the numbers are higher for women than that.

F1fanatic Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 As far as I know there are no statistics available, so I'm basing my opinion on the number of Western men/women (that are not tourists) that I see every day when out and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuandchris Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Quite a few retired in Phuket with their farang wives, myself included. And few of them have buggered of with a Thai girl. They seem to prefer a relationship rather than a trophy, although the trophy comment doesn't apply to all, just most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living on Phuket, do you honestly think you see more than 1 Western female to 99 Western men that actually live here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
