We all know that thai girls love their soapies

But is this normal behaviour?

A few months ago, went to visit the gf

Arrived at hotel,

She came a bit later,

We hugged at reception

Went to my room

She said "just a moment"

Turned the TV on, watched a soapie for two hours

And then back to honeymoon mode

I was just scratching my head thinking, hmmm

The rest of the trip was good

I was seriously expecting something else of this topic!!

If it's not the soap's it's cartoons.

I always associate the word soapie in Thailand, as getting a good old rub a dub dub in the tub.

Yes, but you don't watch those - you play the leading man.

for me it was star trek.

I missed 20 years of good sex because I could not figure out that god derned vulcan pressure point spot.

Only if I have my rubber duck to play with.

Soaps are not a Thai addiction they are worldwide addiction.

Or

According to Motorola's Mobility's Global 2010 Media Engagement Barometer study, American and Japanese viewers spend 21 hours per week watching television and video content. South Koreans watch the least TV--just 13 hours a week. The average amount of time spent watching TV each week around the world is 17 hours. Motorola said most television viewers watch scheduled programming, but 34 percent watch scheduled content in addition to online video and on-demand shows.

It's not like I started it. You post an idea that you think is brand spanking new and I say it is a cliche.

Wouldn't it make sense to research a bit before posting something that has been posted a hundred times?

It is offensive to refer to all Thai women when the characteristic you are discussing is primarily of a prostitute in any country.

My wife took a day off of work last week to help me with some business in Bangkok. I said thank you and she said, "no need to thank me I'm your wife."

When my mother was very ill I spent my off time helping her in her home. My wife divorced me because she said my mother was more important to me than her. She was correct. My wife divorced me, my mother died and I came to Thailand. If my Thai wife occasionally puts her aged mother ahead of us I understand.

NO, mine is the same as most Thai women. Yours is different.

It's like those old 'you know you've been here too long' posters one used to find in virtually every bog in every expat pub. They ceased to be amusing when almost every pub bore began to quote them verbatim...

Nope. Her mother was the town beer maker and her uncle ran the still. Nice family but not what you would call hi so.
