rene123 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I first came to Thailand in 1998 with a group of other young back packers and we did all the touristy things. I never had the inclination to return until a year ago when my 10 year marriage ended. An elderly friend of my father, who goes to Thailand yearly, suggested I return and stay longer. I had enough money and no set plans for the future, so I said why the hell not. I bought a triple entry tourist visa and here I am 5 months later... and loving it. I won't settle in Thailand on a permanent basis, but I'll surely return during the long, wet Canadian winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxlgirl Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It was supposed to be a 3 weeks vacation, which now lasts like over a year. I was already planning to move to another country b/c neither my country of residence, nor my country of origin were good places for me to live. Settling down in Thailand wasn't exactly on my list, but life can be full of surprises. That being said, I never know where else it might lead me, so I keep my options open.

Neeranam Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Cheap booze and hookersThat sure was a good reason for coming. If anyone says the cheap sexy hookers were not part of the equation, I don't believe them or don't want to speak to them. Do you think it's just a coincidence that 95% of single people moving here are male? Edited March 6, 2013 by Neeranam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I came here because I was tired of working as an sas, military legend with a purple helmet medal and a gajillion £'s in the bank. Women would chase me down the street with propositions no man could resist. Now I live here Im still all of the above but now im a hansum man. Made all the difference hearing those words. Was JT in the pursuant crowd. ? ........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Dust Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I came because I got recruited for work. I stayed because life was somehow easier, not so boring and more flexible, and the woman here loved me, because I was not even 22 then. Well, that changed of course. But still here.... 12 years and counting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted March 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2013 When I first came here in the mid 70’s I was too young and stupid to know life here is not real and things would never workout. Now I am too old and stupid to know it is not real and things will never workout. Guess I will just have to wallow in my stupidity for another decade or two. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I awoke nearly 4 years ago in the middle of a field in what I now know was Isaan. Naked. Cold. Hungry. I found my way to a nearby village were I met an elderly Thai couple who took me in and raised me as their own "lost" 40 something year old son. Did they have a beautiful 16 something year old daughter? Your op had my respect. This 16 year old comment however lost it. Did you say angina or vagina? Didn't ask for any respect, nor do I want it! Unfortunately my comment about the 16 year old daughter is why some are here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiangmaikelly Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I came here to get over a broken heart. I lived with a 20 year old Cajun go go dancer from Tampa Florida for 3 years and she left me for a skinny hatchet faced female dance choreographer. Thailand worked. I was over the broken heart in a matter of hours. By the time I had climbed the first two floors on Nana Plaza I had forgotten all about Cajun women. I had even forgot where Tampa Florida was. By the time I made it to happy hour at the Cat House I had forgotten about where the USA was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycloneJ Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I didn't intend to go to Thailand at all; years back planned a month in Tahiti for some off-season/winter triathlon training, went to travel agent to book/pay and their advertised package deal had so many extras/penalties for a person traveling alone, she suggested a deal with Thai Air as at that time their fares/accomm deal had a singles category. And they flew my bike for free. Couldn't disagree with that. That was the beginning; no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the folks on Thai Visa could help me on this one. If the guys who like lady boys are not gay then are the girls who like male impersonators lesbians? Not her but she kinda looked like the photo. Edited March 7, 2013 by chiangmaikelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Cheap booze and hookersThat sure was a good reason for coming. If anyone says the cheap sexy hookers were not part of the equation, I don't believe them or don't want to speak to them.Do you think it's just a coincidence that 95% of single people moving here are male? If you said availability of attractive women rather than availability of "cheap sexy hookers" I could have swallowed it(no pun intended). I think you are confusing those who flock to areas such as Pattaya and Nana etc (which from the sounds of it, is your own personal experience), to those who travel to other parts of Thailand. Im pretty sure, when your view is so blinkered, those who would try to tell you otherwise (that hookers are not a part of their equation), and you decide not to believe and thus not talk to them, wouldnt feel too much of a loss. Likely they have little in common with you, and have no real desire to converse with you either. -------- As for me, well, im one of those species that didnt come for the cheap beer or for the cheap "sexy" (*cough*) hookers. I came because i just needed a break and wanted to see an area of the world i had not been to. The "break" however consisted of me selling up everything (had a long term relationship break-up as the catalyst- typical story for many). Packed one small suitcase, and flew over for maybe six months. I had planned on using THailand as my base for travel around asia. I ended up getting a health issue, meeting a guy, and etc etc, and anyway, six months has turned into nearly 7 years. No idea if this is where ill be forever, but still pretty content so far.

MrWorldwide Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Midasthailand, have you ever been to Johor ? Unless you live in the worst corner of Nakhon Nowhere, trust me - she got the rough end of the deal. Love Malaysia, but they can keep Johor.
