Myths And Realities

[swissie]

Hardly any country on this planet, that has not it's share of "Myth's. Thailand is burdened with the Myth of "Thai women are beautiful".

Here in the sticks for some strange reasons, this seems not to apply. Around here, just like in Europe, every third or fourth woman I see is just as overweight as in Europe (this was NOT the case some 15 years ago). Even as far as facial appearance is concerned, not above standards as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

And, on a rare occasion, that a "pretty" Thai-Lady crosses your way, maybe arond 25 years of age, she is probably towing a couple of children behind her that may range between 2 to 3 years of age. This of course will increase the libido of an average farang tremendeously. As I said, this applies to my neck of the woods. This does not mean, that no fun can be had. But this only against prior commitement beforehand, of course. (Involving a "Mia-Noi Situation" at the least).

But I think I have seen the light: With every kilometer that I get closer to a Tourist-Hub, the prettier the girls get. I have been dwelling on this phenomenon for endless times until I finally found enlightement (no, there were no monks present).

- It's in those places that beauty can be turned into true financial advantages, and not in the sticks, where the father of her 2 children has disappeared months ago and has left a 100 Bht note on the kitchen table as a farewell present.

So, I suppose the Myth of "Thai Woman are beautiful" stays in effect, just as long as you don't wonder off too far from them Tourist-Hubs.

Cheers.

such amazing insight

There was never a shortage of beautiful Thai women where I used to live.

Here in Pattaya I do not see a lot of difference. There are beautiful ones and not so beautiful ones. Some slim some fat - IMHO of course.

So I cannot concur with your thoughts.

Not strange at all. The beautiful women have left the "sticks" and gone to the "tourist-hubs" to turn their beauty into "financial advantages".

[jamhar]

as you mentioned, its the same in europe, as it is in the states.

Elsewhere too, i image.

Loads of youth, both male and female gravitate to the cities,

or where ever there is opportunity, perceived or real.

The more things change,

the more they stay the same

I'm still figuring this place out

but i like just about everything so far

except the heat and the damned volkwagon sized mosquitos!

Hey swissie...If your travalling around Asia...Think about this.

Philos invented the scams

Thais bettered it

Vietnamese perfected it.....and they are much prettier by far, than any Thai woman

Get used to it...and if you ever visit China, you will never think about FAT and under educated....The best women, partner wise, from what I can figure is a milky white chinese who is educated, and no nonesence type....absolutely the best asian you will meet,country or city.

BUT DONT TELL MY THAI WIFE!!!!!!!!..............tee hee

Do you need to have food with it?..........................

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, a cunning ploy to keep the plumpers plump!

Once again, I missed the obvious; Songhua, you're a better business motivator than I................

[geriatrickid]

Apparently, the OP has not made the rounds of the bars of Patong or Hua Hin. Rather grim selection.

Beautiful women do not need to work in the entertainment sector taking care of sexpats. Beautiful people always have first crack at the good jobs, and have an easier time of it in school. This is how life works.

tourist-hubs? in which country? beautiful Thai women are not to be found in the tourist-hubs in Thailand

(I've never, after years and years of travelling to and around Thailand, understood why so many farang fall over

backwards re beautiful Thai women.)

(Maybe I am weird but I don't find Thai women beautiful at all.)

What I see is average average average average ordinary ordinary ordinary ordinary

and a lot of them less than average/ordinary nice looking.

Of course, there are some very beautiful women in LoS, but they are few and very far between.

When I took my daughter to Seoul for a trip she was quite disappointed to find out that not all Korean lads look like members of 2PM and Big Bang. Although I had forewarned her that as a westerner I myself do not resemble that bloke from the "Twilight" movies or the lead singer of Maroon 5.

I'm more of a Jason Statham who'd reaaaaaaally let himself go to seed.

[HeijoshinCool]

You will find the most beautiful women always migrate to the major metropolitan areas. In every country. That's where the money is. Either in jobs, or eligible men.

[gatorsoft]

I don't care what anyone says. I still find Thai women beautiful and enjoy seeing them everyday. Of course Vietnamese women are probably more beautiful...

[mca]

Of course Vietnamese women are probably more beautiful...

The most beautiful woman I ever saw in my life was an air hostess on Vietnam Airlines. The flight was over 20 years ago but her face is indelibly printed in my memory. Absolutely stunning.

With every kilometer that I get closer to a Tourist-Hub, the prettier the girls get.

I've had the same results with every beer I drink.

[Mrjlh]

How narrow minded! Take a good look around you and see how many ugly farangs are here! Some so ugly they need to sneek up on a glass of water to get a drink. Or when they look in a mirror the reflection pukes! So I guess what you see is what you get.

If anyone thinks the most beautiful women move to tourist areas in Thailand I suggest you try staying sober past 10am the next day while there.

Try it at Hua hins bar area especially, but take a sick bag with you.

The best looking women in the country don't need to ply their wares in tourist areas, not even the best looking girls plying their wares go anywhere near tourist areas.

[krisb]

Perhaps op its because most of the country women have to migrate to the city for work when the farms dry up.

I agree with you about the beautiful Thai women I have 3 places in Thailand all in Thai areas not tourist areas and there are some very beautiful girls its just they aren't selling like the ones in tourist areas,

And most the girls in tourist areas come from rural Thailand

Thanks to your modern day telepathy skills, I got her general image.

I would have to agree with you. I just came back from 5 days in the countryside of Thailand. I saw lots of happy children, but not many young, attractive women. There were gangs of young men and many old ladies and old men, but a noticeable absence of younger women. Of course, if you really examine the western societies and look closely, there are not a lot of beautiful women anywhere. There are just us average looking gals. In the "farang" populated city of Chiang Mai I see more lovely looking back packer women than I do attractive Thai women.

Some how I don't think you will find them in his neck of the woods.

Nice try though.

Wow, so much better than I imagined. Looks like you need to work some more on your telepathy.
