Question: How do I go about finding a soulmate here in Bangkok that isn't Thai?

You've probably noticed that dating sites concentrating in Bangkok consist to 99.9% of Thai girls (The "Dating" tab on the upper right for instance directs you to Asia FriendFinder. Just go through the members there.)

I've been told to "go out and talk to people". Unfortunately, several months later, hitting social venues has resulted in:

-Drunk tourists.

-Young girls, (mostly teachers) who're just here for the experience but will eventually move back home or to another country.

-Non-singles

-Females that are actually males (Farangs mind you).

Any suggestions?

Don't be such an ageist. Those young Western teachers might fall madly in love with an clapped out, old fart of an expat and want to stay in some village on the outskirts of Hat Yai eating Mama noodles forever. :wub:

I sometimes see farang females that appeal to me.

About 1m50, slim, narrow hips, with a friendly face and eyes that are neither globulous nor halfcovered by the lids paki-style.

The problem is these must make up for 0.000001% of the female farangs and are most sought after...

Stan42. What's the point in travelling half way around the world to date women from the west? I'm assuming you are a farang. :blink:

Oh how nice, now there are ads for dating sites between posts. Still, nobody answered the "how to".

Well, step one would be (assuming you are not blind) leaving your room, get outside and have a look for yourself. :)

How do you go about finding a soulmate your own country that isn't Thai?

Try that. If whatever that is is not possible here, then maybe you are in the wrong place to find her. But if, on the other hand, you don't know how to do it at home, how do you expect to do it here?

I did, if you read my first post, you'll see the results were rather... unpleasant.

Another option would be posting your question in the Ladies Forum.

Are you sure that's wise? It might give the wrong impression and result in a ban.:annoyed:

Actually, posting for info is allowed and if you searched you would find other threads in this vein. Asking for dates or posting a personal is not allowed. Its not a dating site.

That said OP, WebBangkok has a point, go to networking events, from there you can expand your social circle.

Stand outside a building site at 6pm. Not many Thais working in them.

I have met quite a few very attractive Laotian, Cambodian, Burmese and Vietnamese Ladies in Thailand, if that answers OP's question.

Agree.

Do it the same way as when home.

By the way, how many has really found their soulmate on a dating website?

There are single farang women in Thailand who are not teachers (I"m one of them). So it's just a question of finding us.

Stan42.

It's been 2 weeks now. Have you had any luck?

Same as before. People just passing through, staying in Bangkok for a year or so... and those really shifty looking Eastern European ladies that seem to hang out in hotel bars.

Facebook and their add-on apps like are you interested.

I'll give you a tip. Post a honest picture of yourself. No photoshop or scanned photos from the nineteen seventies or any of that old tomfoolery. If a woman accepts your friend request she is vaguely interested, if you exchange more than say twenty messages it is acceptable to suggest a date.

Good luck!

      Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand

      File photo Advocates are raising concerns about insufficient enforcement of road safety laws, which they believe is significantly contributing to Thailand's staggering road fatality rate. On average, the country registers around 48 road deaths daily. Speaking at a recent event marking the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, advocates pressed for immediate improvements in law enforcement. The event, supported by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre, threw light on Thailand's grim statistics. Last year alone, 17,498 people lost their lives in traffic accidents, illustrating a dire need for changes to road safety regulations. Surachai Liengboonlertchai, who chairs a parliamentary road safety subcommittee, stressed the importance of remembering victims and pushing for systemic changes to prevent future tragedies. The call for action is echoed by Ratchanee Supawatjariyakul, president of the Road Traffic Accident Victims Empowerment Network, who has personally been affected by these statistics. She lost her daughter to a road accident involving an off-duty police officer in early 2022. Advocates argue for tougher amendments to the Land Traffic Act and the Vehicles Act to deter violators through harsher penalties and faster legal processes. Revising how driver's licences are issued, with more stringent tests, is also recommended. Key proposals include capping speed limits in urban areas at 50 km/h, increasing fines for motorists who neglect pedestrian crossings, and penalising motorcyclists who invade pavements. Additionally, tighter penalties for drink-driving offenders are urged to include both imprisonment and fines. Joining the discourse, Dr Withid Sariddeechaikool of the Food and Drug Administration cautioned drivers against medications that impair alertness, contributing to Thailand's ranking as having the ninth-highest rate of road traffic accidents globally. Such holistic attempts aim to curb the nation’s distressing road fatality statistics effectively, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-18

      Thailand Rises to 41st in Global Innovation Index

      ASEAN NOW file Thailand has achieved its highest position in the Global Innovation Index (GII) in a decade, climbing to 41st place among 133 economies, as reported by the National Innovation Agency (NIA). This marks a notable improvement from last year's 43rd position and solidifies Thailand's third place among ASEAN countries, following Singapore and Malaysia. The GII, developed by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), assesses countries' innovation capabilities using around 80 indicators, grouped into inputs and outputs. The top innovators globally include Switzerland, Sweden, and the United States, with Singapore leading in ASEAN. Thailand's enhanced ranking is attributed to significant improvements in both input and output sub-indexes of innovation capability, indicating successful strategies in promoting innovation, according to Krithpaka Boonfueng, the NIA's executive director. Notably, the country excels in business system innovation indicators, particularly in gross domestic expenditure on research and development (GERD). However, Thailand still faces challenges in areas such as ICT service exports and education spending as a percentage of GDP. These sectors require more effort to enhance the country’s innovation landscape. Ms Krithpaka emphasised the need for greater government involvement in steering the national innovation agenda. Stronger partnerships between public sector researchers and private enterprises are vital to understanding and meeting market demands. To bolster these efforts, the Ministry of Commerce plans to promote collaborative initiatives between government and industry to further boost Thailand’s innovation capabilities. This alignment aims to harness the potential of Thailand’s innovation landscape and position it for continued growth on the global stage. The recent rise in the GII ranking reflects Thailand's commitment to fostering an environment conducive to innovation and development, paving the way for future achievements and enhanced global competitiveness, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-18

      Immigration System Overhaul Underway at Suvarnabhumi Airport

      File photo courtesy: Matichon Thailand's Immigration Bureau (IB) announced plans to enhance services at Suvarnabhumi Airport, aiming to strike a balance between streamlined efficiency and national security. The changes will be driven by the development of the Thailand Immigration System (TIS), which aims to modernise the immigration process with advanced technology. Discussing this initiative, Pol Maj Gen Choengron Rimpadee, head of Immigration Division 2, emphasised the importance of integrating faster services for the anticipated influx of passengers. With prior experience in managing immigration at five key international airports, Maj Gen Choengron is well-placed to lead these improvements. With Suvarnabhumi currently accommodating an average of 120,000 passengers daily, projections for peak season suggest this number could rise to 135,000. Hence, the need for additional staff and resources is pressing, following the Prime Minister's recent visit highlighting the issue of congestion. To address these challenges, new systems have been introduced to reduce the processing time per passenger from 1-2 minutes to approximately 45 seconds. The elimination of certain steps, such as manually entering flight data, will contribute to these efficiencies. As a result, the total waiting time, including queuing, is expected to be under 20 minutes. The planned roll-out of the Advanced Passenger Processing System (APPS) further aims to bolster security by flagging individuals wanted internationally before they even reach passport control. Looking ahead, the IB aims to complete the TIS within two years, integrating AI for enhanced security measures. Automatic channels mirroring those at Singapore’s Changi Airport could further streamline processes. While these technological upgrades promise speedier services, the dedication to national safety remains paramount, with immigration officers keeping vigilant to prevent potential threats, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-18
