I Now Realise That Something Is Missing In Life .......

[thenervoussurgeon]

I used to run a marriage agency in Bangkok ,my partner still does ,his wife gently weeds out the "not so nice girls" there are plenty of nice women looking for a good man believe me , i met my wife when i wasnt even looking .

I meet my wife in BKK. After 3 years in BKK I had enough of the Big Mango and told my then GF (wife now) that I want to move to Pattaya. First she didn't like the idea at all but after a couple of visits she kind of got used to it and liked the beach scenes very much.

We now live in our second house in the outskirts (Naklua) of Pattaya, have a lovely son and life is good.

I don't think I could live in a small town, I like the buzz here in fun town and keep my Villy in the pants, if you don't respect and thrust each other, marriage is worthless.

I forgot to mention that my wife speaks very good English so communication is not a problem.

OP you could consider on-line dating.

I've been looking at Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and a few other places and they seem like good places to me. Bangkok is not my scene. Chiang Mai is out because of the smoke and smog times.

If you move, remember that you must never mention to anyone where you previously lived, show photos, or even say the name of that town out loud.

If you do, you will be labeled and nobody in your new town will ever forget it.

I Have to agree

The second time I cake to Thailand, at the recommendation of a friend, I stayed in Pattaya. While still back at the states, I would tell my Thai friends that I was going to Thailand, and when they asked where in Thailand, I would tell them Pattaya, and I could not understand why they snickered. I quickly realized why when I got there.

Thais don't have a very good opinion of Pattaya and of those who live there.

I apologize to all the good decent people who live there, but it is a fact.

Pattaya quickly got old for me, not my cup of tea, and never went back. Plenty of other nice places in Thailand for me.

I Love Khon Kaen, live a couple of Clicks outside the city and have the best of two worlds, The tranquility of the country, but only a few minutes away from all the conveniences a big city has to offer.

The people there are wonderful, and the living is cheaper.

Needless to say, I love it there.

If you can't "thrust" your wife, who can you "thrust"?

Thats one thing i miss with women back at home,you can talk about movies,music,old school friends,worldly experiences,sometimes i find the cultural differences here too much

what I miss most is a proper kiss. a proper snog. western women know how to kiss. thai women don,t.

[AnandaSatvha]

Its all about communication, and I've found with girls in the south, west and central region, they are much morefor a romantic man who really loves and cares about the girl he is with. Trust me, I've had a bit of experience.. speaking thai does help, but it will only give u a more upset stomach in isaan and Laos where 'Whitey's wallet is the main talk of the town..

[GreenSnapper]

Only if the Western woman has clean teeth. Often they don't. Thai women mostly do.

The really cute thing about Thai women is the "sniff kiss". If you don't know what that means, you have stayed for too long with the bar scene or you should shower more often

[hotandhumid]

Nice post and in some respects a brave post, to admit you want to

break out of the mould.

Think a lot of it is to do with mindset, you look on every woman in

Pattaya as a hooker and you think they look on you as a walking

ATM.....game set and match.

I went through the same process some years ago, desperate to

meet a straightforward Thai woman. It happened without me

realising when I got friendly with a girl who worked in a large

Bangkok hotel, she suggested on my next visit we could

perhaps go away together....talk about knock me over with a

feather.

End story, we have now been married for five years.

Yes, there are nice girls out there.... even in Pattaya.

So you met her only the once and then she suggested that you go away together...yea she sounds like a real 'nice' girl...ha ha.

No, I got to know her over several visits - sure they are your sprogs,

those nurses get pretty frisky on night shift.

Looks like a touched a nerve....ha ha!

You have 'thai friends'??

[brit1984]

The funny thing is that few here would begrudge a 'western' woman her past but find one unforgivable in a Thai woman.

I would say what is more funny is that few guys would even touch a prostitute back home but in Thailand many Western guys marry them.

If 60% of women in the UK were on the game, I'm sure 60% of men in the UK would marry one. (insert own percentage if dissatisfied with mine)

More to do with opportunity than moral choice I think.

Sex workers make up a very small minority of the population in both the UK and Thailand.

Even if there were more prostitutes in the UK, very few British men would risk marrying one.

I can only assume it happens in Thailand because the heat has affected those guys' brains.

I think the difference is many Western guys in Thailand (based on some of the comments on this forum) choose their Thai wife based on her looks and (dare I say) "dancing" skills, with little consideration for personality and compatibility.

Really? Where do you guys find these women that can't hold a converstation and can't kiss????

But as you posted in another thread, you spend 40% of your time working and another 40% of your time with your daughter. By your own admission, you don't get out much ...... so how would you know?

To the OP - I have lived and / or spent time in every proivnce of Thailand for several decades. Korat is the hidden jewel of Thailand. It has everything the rest of the country has to offer minus the crap.

Actually 40% sleeping and 40% with my daughter. I go out with her every day.

However, I don't think I need to go anywhere to know that marrying a hooker is unwise, as that should be obvious especially from reading this forum.

I think you might be right, I'm trying to avoid marrying a hooker at this very moment ......... the family (and the wife) are applying extreme pressure though, and she has lots of land and money, and is young and pretty.

One young wife is enough, two might very well be a 'possible hell on earth'.

Dude,

You seem to me to be having a bit of a crisis over nothing.

If you think a girl is incapable of showing or having real emotions just because she works in a bar, then it says more about you than it does them.

My advice would be to maybe try being a Cheap Charlie fr a while and see which birds stick around.

Oh they can show emotions, usuallythey are greed, jeaoulsy, avarice,and contempt.

I'm sorry, but after some time in a bar even the good people are poisoned.

[geriatrickid]

The funny thing is that few here would begrudge a 'western' woman her past but find one unforgivable in a Thai woman.

Well, firstly I would not be dating a prostitute past or present in the west. No one is perfect and we all have our sins and misdeeds. However, there is no need to go straight to the bottom of the barrel in search of one's soul mate. Secondly, there are past embarrasments and then there is being coated in the filth that distinguishes those that play in the gutter.

One can find them at charities, at social welfare groups such as the forest preservation groups, animal welfare groups, the groups that educated and feed those less advantaged.There are so many Thais around with jaidee and dcency, but they get crowded out just as the decent foreigners are missed because of the hordes of louts in places like Patong. There are plenty out there with the less taint, just like me

[TommoPhysicist]

How would you know?

They don't all have tattoos with 'hooker' written on them and some former sex workers may lie about their past.

Man:- "Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the communist party prostitute"

Woman:- "No"

Man:- "Great let's get married then"

The people I associate with are not likely to have been prostitutes. If you cannot discern the difference between people, then that's your problem, not mine. Most people have friends and a past and there is an old saying, loose lips sink ships. It's called knowing someone and their friends. The typical bar worker is the equivalent to a street corner hooker in the west. Mayfair Madames and high end escorts , would not be interested in someone like me, nor the typical joe on the street.

But not everyone associates exclusively with other guys!

[arthurwait]

Move to Rayong, or Chonburi city, or Sriracha etc... all close to Pattaya (easy to go back and visit friends), but totally different scene.

Yep beat me to it.

I don't know much about Rayong, but I know Chonburi City and Sri Racha. As said they are completely different scenes with plenty of industry and wealthy Thais.

Chonburi City is brimming with wealthy Thai-Chinese who built the city and so much employment is provided by them and especially Amata Nakorn that there's plenty of independently wealthy, well educated girls here either in employment or running their parents businesses. Several hospitals for nurses too. Very few Farangs though.

Sri Racha has many more farangs and much better nightlife for farangs/Japanese. Many more better looking restaurants/ westernisedish bars/restaurants. Chonburi struggles at this. SR also has two large private hospitals for nurses. It's a much nicer looking town than Chonburi as well.

Although it does have many adult entertainment bars mainly aimed at the Japanese that you could end up meeting a girl that works in them pretending she doesn't.

Or Bang Saen inbetween, although much better to stroll along to a bar (unless I've missed places) there isn't much more there except the beach and university so meeting someone above university age maybe more difficult.

come to Buriram loads of fine women around the night plaza and other places.. wish i had 100 baht for everytime a woman here asks if i have any falang friends lol

Have to agree with that. If a guy's spent most of his dating/married life in Farangland with what could be best described as "aesthetically unexciting" women then it's understandable why he'd go for the "lookers" over here. Unfortunately, their looks are usually all they have going for them and those don't last much past 35-40. Gives some TV members - no names - a good 17-20 years of ogling, eh?

what I miss most is a proper kiss. a proper snog. western women know how to kiss. thai women don,t.

The "sniffkiss" is wondrous. I love it. Always makes me smile
