After reading a few threads this afternoon it seems to me that I'm the only person on this forum whose wife/gf isn't a middle class, well educated, super rich, super hot, half Thai/half Chinese girl.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong? Where do you meet these hi-so types, they seem to be ten a penny around here? Maybe they haven't found their way down to Cha Am yet?

Not to worry, I'll stick with what I've got. The grass isn't always greener, right?

You'll get over it .......

I think you might be right. Pour me a cup when you're ready...

Hi-So girls like rum

That's where i've been going wrong!

Make mine a double

Maybe they haven't found their way down to Cha Am yet?

Try trawling the beach at weekends...or doing the same at Hua Hin (depending which is more 'in fashion' at that time...

If you can speak Thai, are willing to spring for the odd bottle of wallop to keep the males occupied while you sniff, and a few plates of grub to keep the women busy you could have some results.

Good luck...

This is a joke, right?

If you're serious, then yes, stick with what you've got. For the most part, the kind of girls you described only date foreigners if they're mentally broken or just completely soured on Thai men (which I would say also qualifies as mentally broken, since in the end we men are all the same). Or if the foreigner is rich. But even then, I'd wager that girl is not hi-so and is in fact a gold digger in sheeps' clothing.

Simmer down laddie. This a FAFP (Friday Afternoon Fun Post) not meant to be deadly serious....

Could try my office!

Here on Thai visa ,most posters have them

go to university and a good private school then like our son you will get one ,however he is young ,good looking and his education cost us a fortune.

There's a big difference between Thai/Chinese middle class nouveau riche and real Thai His-So girls.

There are few places a foreigner could meet real Hi-Sos. Perhaps the RBSC is one.

Meeting middle class Chinese ones could be anywhere outside Lower Sukhumvit and Par Pong.

Good post pink panther!

Better still the same TV hi so couples cunningly disguise themselves in a Chang vest, fake beer belly, and the girl will even darken her skin, for every Thai Airways flight back to farrangland - so we never know their real identity. As such they can live their ideal lives in secret, and on TV of course!

sir

i take my hat off to u, the best post this year.

Why is the face/body whitener a massive seller in Bangkok,could be the sunbaked farang,realising that thai/chinese,hi-so ladies dont like brown.

I here their shit dont stink too,now thats a big plus.

My place on days that end in Y.

Srs man most of it's just a troll guys here just like to talk them selves up. No big deal if you want to see or meet them go to Paragon or Emporium Fri / Sat Afternoon - Evenings. Look in Jimmy Choo or shops like that with 60,000 Baht shoes. You will find em

If you're not capable of pulling a super hot, well educated, high society girl in your own country, you're definitely not capable of doing it here in Thailand. Nice middle class girls, on the other hand, are ten a penny but they're not looking for sexpats two or three times their age.

You need to attract them to you, not hunt them down.

Dress appropriately. For most TV members, that means wearing the wife-beater shirt *without* the hole in it.

None of that is true but it's alright.

If one really wants to meet these types, the best place would be places like Seenspace in Thonglor.

Absolutely heaving with them

The reason why you think there are so many is that in reality most have either a farmers daughter or bar girl for wife and dont or wont admit it as they get an avalanche of "I told you so" or "thats what you get for marrying a whore" and similiar abusive rehtoric if they mention it, from sour geezers who's bar stool dreams have been shattered, so to avoid all that they invent the thai hi so chinese etc in an attempt to avoid such abuse on the forum.

IMHO.

Through family. Also easier if you work here (in an office, not a bar), speak the lingo (or her English is good enough), and are lucky enough that the family is not completely anti-foreigner (and not all are - but many are). Hunt in the gutter and all you find are rats and cockroaches.

Met my Mrs through family - via the wife of my best friend from school and business partner for years (she was my wife's auntie - all mentioned were Sino-Thai, were and are pretty wealthy and have businesses in the UK and here in Thailand - property too and very good connections). It's luck like that (mine being I went to school with him in the UK) that allows for those family connections - and that is the most important thing. Without family introduction and family recommendation, for most the entry gate is barred.

Most call themselves Chinese Thai are typically 1/4-1/8th Chinese, so it is a very loosely defined criteria. Personally, I would only consider someone Chinese Thai if their parents were immigrants from China, but after that they are locals as anyone else.

I do agree with the OP that a lot of posters tend to justify and qualify their relationships. I have never been on a forum for other countries where the posters needed to do that before. "My Australian wife is a good girl and from a middle class educated family, blah blah blah"

I wonder if Thai men married to foreign women justify their relationships?

TV should start up a "Reader's Wives - Best of Breed" forum where all these forum members with top-notch spouses can post photos that showcase their wives' impeccable pedigrees.

Farang in Thailand inquires on social network site, where to meet females here, must sit down and rest and practice deep breathing, perhaps do some yoga later, may feel better.

I would say much lower fractions than that - many "Thai-Chinese" I know are decedents from way back, but kept the language or at least history. My Mrs is 1/4 (her dad was 1/2, her grandmother came from mainland China before the war - she had tiny feet from when they had been bound as a child and still maintained a (not so) healthy betel nut chewing habit that stained her teeth black) - ask my Mrs, and she would just call herself Thai.

I think people tend to state the "nice girl/educated/middle-class" etc to try and pre-empt the usual BG/gold digger/trickster/cheating whore nonsense that would not apply to them. In another current thread a guy is asking about sin sot in the usual way, but states his girl holds a Ph.D and comes from a middle class back ground - this is wholly relevant to the post. So, therefore, is anyone replying to show similarities.

Many foreigners here do not frequent prostitutes and have not married from bars, and do not have 40 year age gaps, and therefore do not like to have their wives continually accused of (or inferred as) being such. This is not to take away anyone's choice to do so, good luck to them, but some of us do not liked to be tarred with the same brush that detracts from the point and is insulting to our loved ones. Imagine standing in a bar in the Glasgow and suggesting that because some do get involved with prostitutes, that their wives must also be whores - see how well that goes down!

Only if there is also a "Slappers" forum for the rest of you!

which would you prefer;

small, dark skinned, low educated, no recognisable means of employment, unable to dress to suit environment, limited english vocabulary and unable to use any tense other than present simple, sits in a restaurant playing with her mobile while you stare into the distance and sees you as nothing but an ATM

slim, well dressed, stylish, well educated, professional job, proficient/advanced level english, has opinions, able to discus a topic, can make decisions, plan and organise, when you go to a restaurant has a conversation with you and doesnt want a penny

up to you (as they say round here)

If any consolation to the OP, there is at least one more TV member - namely me - not married or with a Thai/Chinese

Hi-So girl.

More on the topic, they are not so difficult to meet, depending on your social surroundings, but I have met a lot

during the years. They are always very polite, they could even be thought as friendly.

In my experience it goes downhill from there, but actually meeting them is not so difficult.

Of course that can easily be explained: they are not only Hi-So and educated, they also have good taste in men.

Entertainment nonetheless .

Bit defensive aren't you?

Would your missus not cut it in the aesthetics department or something?
