jackr Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Neither of us drink, and not really interested in restaurants either because we both like to cook. Well if that's the case break a habit and take her to a restaurant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingstonkid Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A very simple and loving gift that costs little money is to have a warm bath with a nice bath oil, scented candles and rose petals and a glass of non- alcoholic bubbly. For those that like booze remove non (LOL) Then lay out a really sexy nightie that she would like and nice soft music Seeing you like to cook put on a nice dinner with candles and more NON - alcoholic bubbly.

celso Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Wym but you've got me wrong, im early 20s the same as her. And it isn't some random girl, I've been seeing her for about 5 months, met the parents last week. Also jackr you make a very good point. It's easy to get stuck in your habits, do the same things, so I will take your advice and go to a restaurant somewhere by the river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which post you're disputing, better if you use the "reply" or in this case "multiple" button to help make that clear. If it's about presents, I think girls in more sincere genuine relationships like them just as much as the more transactional ones, and in fact you'll just get a better return on your investment with the sincere ones. If it's something else, happy to discuss further, just let me know what you're saying specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardandtubs Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Here's a tip. Buy your roses now and store them in the freezer. The price will be 90% lower and you can defrost them on Valentine's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrassboy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 In regards to flowers, roses are deemed romantic where I come from, but to indicate romance in Thailand, carnations are a better choice. I've been told roses are too common. However, they are considered sweet and a kind gesture. Carnations on the other hand are thought to be more exotic (also more expensive) so the gesture shows more "love". On a more pertinent note, if your aim is to mark the occasion with connotations from the west, the ball is back in your court. What would you do on Valentines Day where you're from?

Julie H Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If she likes perfume, you can't go wrong there.

JeffreyWitty Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Back in 03, I was away at war and I found a flower shop in Korat online who did "special gift requests". So I called them up and arranged to have a heart shaped box of PLA-LA (Blah-la? You know the smelly rotten fish mush) delivered to my (then) fiancee. She (from Isaan) absolutely LOVED it! She hates chocolate but loves that dirty rotten fish guts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The custom of writing greetings to your sweetheart developed in Europe from the Middle Ages so is by no means a recent thing. The consumerism aspect is a symptom of modern times and is secondary - celebrating traditions has always existed in human societies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celso Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I just realised February 14th will be a public holiday. No work... awesome. My plan will be head to Kao Yai park, find some elephants. Not romantic but it will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robininbkk Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Most Thai women from all ages love chocolate. Get her some Belgium or Swiss boxes. Chocos and flowers are timeless classics, works magic anytime. Don't believe anyone who says otherwise. In addition, if you wish so, depending on what kind of girl she is: a new Iphone 5s or samsung 4, golden necklace/earings, sexy nightware, bottle of good wine. It comes down to how much you are willing to spend, Valentines day is just like Christmas, made for consumerism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wym Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Most Thai women from all ages love chocolate. Get her some Belgium or Swiss boxes. Bizarre how different our Thailands can be. I guess those that aren't poor may have experienced sweets as a child and be more like farang, but 95+% of Thais I know can't stand chocolate, or anything that sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 7-11, BigC, and the others have every cm of shelf-space digitized and analyzed and if chocolate did not sell well, there would not be meters of linear shelf space allocated and multiple brands available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just relating my different experience, perhaps due to these factors There aren't any shops like that in the villages where nearly all my SOs grew up, no aircon therefore no chocolate. Urban vs rural. And I'm sure today's children are eating a lot more sweets than a decade or two ago. Finally, the 7-11s in farang-populated areas have chocolate taking up a LOT more shelf space than in Thai-only areas, and obviously better quality (sweet/fat) than the cheap Asian-produced stuff. One more - my girls have been highly motivated to not gain weight, so maybe they'd eat it otherwise and just say they don't like it - for face??

It sells nowadays as we live in a consumer society - however if you do a little reserch you will see the tradition dates back centuries. So if I follow the reasoning, Christmas and Easter were also fabricated by Big Brother in order to relieve the sheep of their funds? Or maybe we participate in it willingly because it's part of human nature to celebrate traditions - the fact that it involves spending money is just a symptom of the times.
