And you don't imagine how easy it is to get laid with the educated girls for free !!!

Yes, i'm a cheater also...

Educated in......

[BookMan]

I wonder if I create a fake profile for myself on facebook, get some photo's of a hot Thai chick.

knock on a few doors so to speak.

Maybe I could make a few bucks myself.

At least stock up the wine cellar a bit.

yes some people really ARE THAT STUPID.

Its an age old one. Had a male friend who did exactly that in Argentina about 10 years back using msn.

Agree with Semper. Men can be idiots in this sense. At one point i joined tagged (couple of years back), was single at the time, and wanted to make new friends, and possibly more. Had a few photos up and made a separate msn account. Added a couple of people, several guys. My web cam broke and one guy offered to send me one. Didnt even ask, nor make any story about not having money to buy one, was an out and out offer. Declined. Honestly, its almost like some guys just want to give money away. I guess they equal buying things with being wanted. Im not saying i didnt appreciate the offer, it was kind, but i felt wrong taking it (and i didnt wish to give out my home address). Other women might not think the same way and see it as easy takings. So, in some cases the women dont even need to scam ..the guys actually WANT to offer.

Edit: so its not just a Thai woman thing. Any woman who wants to take advantage, can.

Indeed Eek, your last line sums it up well.

I have been 'taken advantage' of by more Australian women than Thai women in a financial sense. To be fair, no one was ever sticking a gun at my head at any time I was handing over money and I could simply not have given any: So who is responsible? Me of course.

.

Now I am older, and while maybe not wiser, certainly more grounded and experienced. It was a valuable and not too expensive education in life really. I'm quite philosophical about it.

There can't be many men that have not given money to or been scammed by a woman or women in their own country. Who ever heard of having a woman who didn't want your money, if you allowed them to get their hands on it?

When I first started surfing the 'dating' sites some years ago (I was 50's) I had women from all over Asia who wanted to be my 'friend' very quickly. I started playing the field with Filipino, Thai, Chinese etc etc and within a fairly short time the majority of Thai girls were asking for money. I say the majority because there were a few that didn't but they were not from Issan or related to poor families anywhere in the country. They were the ones that were a bit older (30's up) and had decent jobs, and their priorities were not particularly geared to fast bucks. They already had their own computers and had taught themselves some English. The poor ones were using Internet Cafe's. The range of money the girls asked for was between a few hundred Baht and 500,000 Baht to buy a new car. I can say that none of the Chinese girls I had relationships with, and there were a good few trips to China, never once asked me for money. They always said they would like a responsible man that would love them and have a long term stable relationship. I would point out that none of these girls were from poor families either and I think this is the key with the large numbers of Thai girls who are on the make. It's to do with the amount of poor families that exist in Thailand where all the pressure is put on the young girls to provide for the family. It may be true that they think we Farang are all stupid, and indeed some really are, but the main driving force is family pressure and they will do anything to relieve that constant burden.

I agree with most of you wrote, but I would add that not only the poverty that puts the pressure on these ladies but their family and there is a large proportion whom see the easy money and than form a lifestyle around these activities. Until they don`t find the real big fish they never stop doing it even if their finances seem to be all right.

I don't think the title of this thread is fair; Thai women aren't 'extorting' money, they are asking and receiving, fair is fair in my view. However, as they may be saying or writing false and insincere things (so too may be the men, of course) then 'exploiting' might be a more suitable term. Well, good luck to them. I've lived in Bangkok for nearly six years now and the best thing, I'm ashamed to say, is exploiting Thai women. I get an hour-long foot massage for 125baht at a local mall, I get my car hand-washed by a team of (mostly) women for 60baht at the local garage and I get my condo thoroughly cleaned thrice a week for 1.500baht per month - I'm fairly paying the advertised prices but it that's not exploitation I don't know what is!

I don't think that deceiving others is fair just because they are on a lower wage. So you actually believe that their activity is rightly justified.

I, too think the title is misleading as this is not extorting. I would say getting money with intent to defraud.

[ebmzlm]

Again apologies for using the wrong term "extorting"!

The funniest thing is people are actually defending these girls. We all know it's a game for them etc etc. but to put poverty in to the question is absurd!

Farlangs are the problem with Thailand, we gift, sympathy etc for what!

Let's be serious the average wage in Thailand is 12,000 baht a month. The average price of food is 30bht. A room 2000 bht.

Without us they'd be fine.

Go look in Cambodia or the Philippines the women are completely different. No games played. They are a lot poorer there.

[yogi100]

I've been a regular visitor to Pattaya for 13 years and in that time I've become friends with around 20 fellow British men. Of this score of men I know for a fact that at least 4 of them have at on time or another sent money to Thai girls for varying amounts and for various reasons. Not outlandish sums but one off gifts of around 5,000 baht or regular payments of between 10,000 and 20,000 baht a month. Bear in mind these are just the ones I am personally aware of so of those 20 blokes it could well be more than 4.

It's quite likely that out of the 20 blokes each of us know who go to Pattaya a similar percentage are sponsoring these girls to a similar degree. That can easily equate to thousands of foolhardy punters.

Two of these blokes have given their girls babies and married them so that's fair enough but the other two were just taken for a ride until the penny finally dropped or their employment status took a nose dive. One of them, a regular visitor to Pattaya who should know better actually fell for the on line dating caper!

These blokes are ruining things for the rest of us and to a degree are taking these lasses off the market and maybe that's why the quality of the girls and their attitude has deteriorated over the last few years.

[theblether]

There's no fraud here, it's a simple rental agreement.......here's a copy the rental contract........

" I, lonely guy sitting at home somewhere in the world do hereby certify that I wish to take up your time while I dream about flying to Thailand, making love to you, and living a fantasy life by the beach with you forevermore. Part of that fantasy will be that you will pretend to fall instantly in love with me and I can show you how well I will treat you when we are together by looking after your buffalo / dying father / seriously ill pet mosquito as of now. "

At this point it's the equivalent of Farmville, an internet game that gets you emotionally involved in the upkeep of others, in fact Tamogochi is probably a better example, cabbage patch dolls?

Where it get's out of control is when the poor guy really falls head first into it and heads for the airport after selling his house and telling his boss to ram it. Incidentally there are plenty of women who fall for it too, and many Thai women have been ripped off by reverse stings.

It's a fantasy that can run out of control, it will exist as long as there are lonely and gullible people out there, and bizarrely, sometimes it does have a happy ending.

There's nowt as queer as folk.

ps It cost me 30,000 baht to keep the pet mosquito going through intensive care, but in the end, it died. I loved that mosquito.

Or perhaps the quality of the girls reflects the quality and generousity of the current visitor

Oh I get it now, you are the OP. This is one of those newby education posts. You have just come to Thailand and now you are an expert on Thai women as opposed to Cambodian and Philippine women.

I guess I should tell you there are thousands of posters on Thai Visa who have lived in South East Asia for years and years including Cambodia and the Philippines and now live in Thailand because they have discovered the truth of the ages.

Now you are in the "my girl is different stage." Give it 7 years. Some get out of that stage earlier some later. Some even get out without loosing a fortune or jumping off a tall building. Good luck from all of us at Thai Visa.

Oh, BTW, did you ever wonder why us single guys who can live in Cambodia or the Philippines and have the choice of women all over Asia choose to live in Thailand with Thai women?

Actually Iv lived in pattaya 6 years, aswell as travelled through Asia. Also having a Thai wife and child.

This post is about the modern day girls of Thailand, not the past!

And the general population of farlangs who live here are...

You seem to be getting very hey up about the topic. Would one believe this has happened to you??

Of course it has happened to me. It happened to me in Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines in the 1960's and again all over Thailand in the intervening years. I would not give advice unless it happened to me.

Why would you start posting on a forum of experts on SEA without testing the water a bit first. There are about 10,000 other posts dealing with "My Thai lady done me wrong." What, do you think you are posting something new?

I must admit last week I have gone out with both old Thai ladies and modern day Thai girls. It's fun.

I take it your wife is a good girl. Educated, Hi So Thai/Chinese is the norm on Thai Visa. Get with the program. And welcome but read a bit before posting might be a good idea.

Oh I forgot, the latest trend in saving poor SEA ladies is from Burma. Cambodia and Philippines are yesterday.

I wonder how many men would admit it? I for one would have to put up my hand and hang my head. Looking back, I cringe at my stupidity, but I suppose what is done is done.I hope my mother is not reading this...

[ebmzlm]

Ok so if it's old news explain why many farlangs including yourself are so interested.

Not in one reply have I mentioned my wife is better nor have I mentioned in anyway to sound the better of circumstances.

You sound like a bitter old man.

Probably one who in between friends goes on and on, how lazy Thai people are, how they live like pigs, how the women are always looking for next coo.

Yet I'd happily pay em!!!

Som-nam-na

Not many. I suppose. But our secrets are safe here.

Without having to stir anything, I can honestly say, it has not happened to me.

Only the expensive nights in clubs with all the wife's friends, that certainly cost me.

I met a lady via the internet, I didn't send any more to her, I flew in, met her at Swampy, and went on holiday with her. She was stunning, we fell out after a week, ( more to the point I fell out with her, she was WILD!!!! ) and sent her home to BKK on a bus, instead of flying her back from Chiang Mai.

I felt guilty about that later and I ended up sending her about 5,000 baht. I was angry with myself for abandoning my duty of care for her, it doesn't matter how angry you get with someone you always have to remember that duty of care, and I let myself down. So the money I sent was what I saved by sending her back on a bus instead of a flight.

Now I know that story doesn't fit in with the OP, however it does show that it's possible to meet beautiful, ( and by the way, she was jaw droppingly beautiful ) women via the net. WITHOUT PAYING A PENNY!!!

She really was wild though, a typical BKK Party Girl.

This comes back to my other point, you are to sympathetic with these girls.

Let's be serious she went back home, looked in her little black book and moved on to the next one.

May i suggest u find a new gf that u dont have to pay,itsd not that hard

[Beetlejuice]

Any farang with even an ounce of grey matter who becomes involved in a Thai girl relationship, should hear alarm bells ringing and see red lights flashing as soon as there are pleas for large sums of money, for whatever reasons.

A few facts from the Beetlejuice vault of truth and wisdom that may save a guy a fortune and a lot of emotional trauma.

Cute girl sends out signals to a guy that she likes him.

After spending a passionate evening with her and a night of lovey-doveyness

with and perhaps the best sex the guy has had for years, he becomes smitten and can hardly believe his luck.

He holds her hand and listens intently to her pitiful hard luck stories and then wants to be her knight in shining armour, to the rescue, at any price, dreaming that at last he has discovered a true soul mate and love of his life, believing in a dream the guy decides to invest in her for a good future.

This is how it begins and of course in most cases the result will turn out completely different to the guy’s expectations.

Three major clues that will determine if the girl is not sincere and giving a guy a load of BS:

1. Most of her problems can only be solved with money.

2. The girl is not willing to give up any of her usual social schedules to be with the guy.

3. Appears to have many relatives, friends, acquaintances or colleges that she prefers to keep to herself and separate from her so-called relationship with the guy.

It`s very simple. If a girl really likes or loves a guy, she will unconditionally follow him anywhere with no strings or provisos attached.

Her main ambition in life will become solely to be with her man without any financial stipulations and social limitations. She should in fact be proud and keen to show off her new boyfriend and let everyone know that he and she is now an item.

If this is not the case, then dream on baby, because it`s going to cost you dear and you are wasting your time.

For those that don`t believe, won’t heed this advice or willing to take a gamble, than you do so at your own risk. Fall down and no one’s going to care.

[ebmzlm]

Your wife has some goof friends i see

Since her farlang husband left her and the baby (which is biologically his) and ran off to marry the next Thai he came along.

Yes she has had to find a way of getting money to support.

And it quite easy and funny at the same time how naive farlangs can be.
