Outside of the Lady Boys this is a serious question.
I say that as I was quite taken aback to hear a female Thai saying, she refuses to engage eye contact with her male Thai counterparts.
Not so much of a case that she refuses to talk to them, rather a case she even refuses to look at them.

The last time I spoke to one.

Weird question.

In a shop today while looking for a breakfast table.

And yes....bizarre question.

Yesterday in Sena Tesco Lotus. I pulled my trolley back to let him and his bird past , I always do the "Alright Mate" with a nod of the head (Thats a warm greeting where I come from) and he looked and attempted to do the same back. Non of this palm touching Sawadeeing for me , "Alright Mate" with appropriate head movement is good enough

The woman who told you this was either manipulating you with flattery or has serious issues with men.

To answer your question, this afternoon.

Today when I asked if it was ok to park my bike outside this guys local shop, because I was going to the restaurant next door in Samoeng and street was full.

He smiled and said "No pompen". Then when I was leaving, him and his 3 mates came out to talk, look at the bike and ask questions. All in Thai.

Nice enough local guys. Friendly and all made eye contact. Very personable.

Don't you always make eye contact with anyone you meet?

Maybe the girl has insecurities or has had some issues with Thai males in the past...

she s a liar

If you see a Thai girl bashing Thai males, don't look back and run for your life!

Ah yes the same tale is told to dumb unsuspecting farangs straight off the banana boat, its heard nightly in places like Lower Suk and Pattaya,

Did she miss out the bit about, "Thai man no good","Thai man him lazy", "Thai man him only drink whiskey"

Or did that come later?

Whats even more incredible is, the dumb saps actually believe this rubbish.

Watch out mate, she will be talking about sin sot next, its a trip to the gold shop on Suk soi 10 for you, you cant miss it, its a well worn path that farangs have been heading to for years, worthless paddy land will be presented as a great deal for you to buy, dont forget the compulsory Izuzu D-Max.

In Isaan, anything more than a brief, almost accidental eye contact with a lady is considered flirting. Some that I see everyday and obviously don't think that 'me hannsum man' avert their gaze. I think it rubs off onto Farangs with time as I have started avoiding eye contact and swidikaping with Thais myself. I will give a response though.

i think op means what he doesnt like is interacting with thai boys when hunting for his tart of the night.

I get it. I mean Pattaya has way too many man servers-quite uncomfortable....................lol.

I bet she maintains eye contact throughout when she making the booms with him. ooo sir

every time i leave and return to my building and greet the security guard, in the 7/11, when i meet my friends, in fact all the places i make eye contact with males back home... OP your point is...?

nutters

20 seconds ago. You really should be asking Thai women this question.

Is. this just a silly question ... or is it just me?

Just a minute ago when we were talking... Then we starred into each others eyes for what seemed an eternity we shared a moment. That was when I realised he had no idea what I was saying so I got out of the taxi.

Most Thai females (not employed in the trade of lying down ) are actually very conservative and, as mentioned, it could be construed as flirting if they make eye contact, although is also a little bit childish in this day. Where I live, many females will keep their head down and, while I'm no Adonis, I'm no munter either. It is just safer for them to do so than risk giving you the wrong signal or, gawd forbid, conversation. Regards Thai males, I was chatting to some dudes the other night that I didn't know previously and have many associates. The scenario where it could be an issue for a farang to look at a Thai male would be one of lower status (brain power) in a karaoke bar, for example, where the Thai guys are out drinking with their buddies. To eyeball them would be considered confrontational and asking for it.

I make eye contact with everyone I meet. Gender is irrelevant.

Last time? This morning while having coffee. A colonel (RTA) that is working with Cobra Gold has gone out of his way every day for a week to come over and sit with me just to speak a little English. (He added me to Line!)

I find the question odd. I frequently hear strange questions like this but only from male foreigners that are insecure.

Where does she look?

Just last week in a night club--- I brought him a drink & we sat & talked...& I thought yes---I looked at him, he looked at me & smiled , I felt my legs go all weak & the room began to swim, that's when I realized....I had put the rohypnol in the wrong glass..............

I'm looking at a pair right now

I find the question odd. I frequently hear strange questions like this but only from male foreigners that are insecure.

Usually from male foreigners associated with a Thai sex worker.

"Oh no darling, I find elderly boring, balding, overweight white guys much more attractive than slim Thai guys my own age ........... "

more sh ite

Maybe she no have interest in him.

Maybe she is shy to talk.

Difficult to say for sure.

If there is not a relationship estsblished most decent Thai women will not look into the eyes of Thai men or in the company of men such as a gathering.....I see this when we go to visit the inlaws.....

Anyone I talk to Thai or not.... or acknowledge in either direction with a nod and a smile....most are returned regardless of age.....Agreed it's probably not a good idea in a Thai's bar - someone will take it wrong or think you are eyeing their gal....

Every once in awhile, I'll read something and ask myself "Is every fresh-off-the-plane farang in Thailand this stupid?" This thread is one of those times. I'm not sure what the OP's point is, but if he were to look around, he'll see that most Thai women are with Thai men. Which means that there must be quite a lot of Thai women making eye contact with Thai men. Which leads me to ask again, what is the point of this thread?

Its a good idea not to make eye contact with a Thai male right after you have just oogled his wife or girlfriend, or, you just asked her if she is "working"

other than that if you don't look in a person's eyes when you're looking at them what are you looking at their balls?

in that case if you see two eyes you drank too much and are seeing double
