You have to consider how this farang woman is going to meet this Thai guy.

I don't know about Bangkok, but out in the sticks, I'd say I spend about 95% per cent of my time with men, Thai or farang. Female company is the one thing I miss the most in Thailand. It's pretty impossible to make (real) friends with local women; and (normal) foreign females are thin on the ground.

Men, however, are everywhere! And mostly pretty friendly. I think it won't be hard at all for this character to meet a Thai guy, especially if she shuns the organised 'spouses' coffee morning / charity event planner / croquet club' set and hangs out on her own. It'll be more a case of fighting them off with a stick

You got me curious. 1. What is an abnormal foreign female? 2. Why are normal foreign females on thin ground?

Tempting though it is, I'm afraid I shall have to decline your invitation to wade into deep waters, mark45y - even escorted by yourself.

I will admit that the word 'normal' was an afterthought to the surely uncontentious observation that foreign females in general are thin on the ground here and, in hindsight, probably the wrong choice of adjective. I suppose it was shorthand for 'straightforward, clear-thinking / self-aware, amiable, lacking in complexes (Thailand-related or otherwise)'.

One of my reasons for joining this forum, after lurking for a while, was precisely because of the high concentration of 'normal' (as defined above) women here, as opposed to my everyday life. As to why that is, I couldn't tell you.

Hi know what u mean Hairy. I mean I am on an island but even living in Phuket it was hard to meet like-minded women who were sticking around for a while. Ask Khall....... ?????????

Just curious -- where " in the sticks" are you, that there are farang men but few women, and most of these not straight-thinking??

Sheryl, don't mean to be coy, but think about it: this description fits most touristy beach areas in Thailand... especially the bit Seonai added of women not sticking around for very long.
