What has Thailand taught you about love? Anything?

[tancred]

Love is a four letter word.

[dotpoom]

May your lovely self and wifey continue to have many a beautiful day together for many more years to come

I think you are experiencing the exilerating feeling of having your world now revolve around another person, a person you love, rather than around yourself as a single man. You are no longer the center of your own existance. Now you have cause to think..."what can I do for somebody else, not the...what's in it for me attitude that I myself had for much of my life".

The wise man learns from the experiences of his predecessors, while the arrogant fool rushes in, to learn everything “the hard way”.

Unless the vast majority of Western Expats have become increasingly more stupid (throughout the years), the realities, re: the Op’s topic thread, should be abundantly clear by now; especially after 50-years of publicly documented “farang” experiences, in SE Asia .

[Daniel Boon]

personally, I find it more 'demanding' ... (with a Thai Wife)

like driving an automatic car - same culture, is sort of detached

to driving a manual car - different culture, requiring more attention / participation / interaction

Phew, that was a breathless rant....are you ok (as they say)?

[jesimps]

That it comes second to money.

[puukao]

love saving money. even if you get cheap stuff in return......

if thailand was super expensive......odds of returning would fall drastically

language is a little easier than others

Diito! Apparently, you are not "ok" (as they say). My point, exactly confirmed. Thank you,

That it is worth considerably less than loyalty.

[khunPer]

You cannot buy love for money, but you can buy something that fell and look exactly like it...

[mikiea]

That it's possible to fall in love, then out, and then in love again with the same person.

That true forgiveness takes time and courage.

That sharing a similar sense of humor is a powerful bond which helps get you through the rough patches.

How wet can you get?

Amen to that philosophy, Gecko.

I hear you: schmaltzy, syrupy, saccharine, overly sentimental, reads like a Hallmark card.

It's all true.

But what I wrote is also true; it's what I've learned here.

Hope your tummy gets better soon.

Off topic. Hey Gecko, just ignore those miserable (contrary to anything factual or positive), "one-liner, never-contributing anything substantial to the topic thread", yet constantly present poster blokes, on the forum. Have a pleasant day, sir.

The Beatles were wrong, Money can buy you love.

[shirtless]

It taught me love comes at a price,

[ThailandLOS]

In a nutshell: no money, no honey

[F4UCorsair]

That some people have sadly resigned themselves to a life without it.

Not So. They love a hassle free life......that's true love.

[tonray]

I love Kuay Teaw Ped Sai bah mee....

[bkk6060]

I am from California. The good lookers looking for love there demand a guy with a fancy car, house, big money job, and a daily gym pass.

The same looker here wants money, but much much less.

[quandow]

After love, it hurts when I pee.

[quandow]

Love taught me it is better to rent than to own.

Pretty much my sentiments but I will put it differently.

"Love" or rather the notion of love is damn expensive in the West with the inevitable crippling "bulb" payment upon termination.

But here not so expensive and you get a hell of a lot more bang for your buck. Pardon the pun.

I don't have nearly enough money to attract the same quality of woman back home and here they realize that the arrangement is performance based so they try harder.

I can not generate any interest in lazy, fat, old, bottle blonde farang women.

Yes, I truly LOVE this place.

[chicowoodduck]

The Thai word for love is ATM....????

[SoiBiker]

What a depressing thread.

[villagefarang]

Twenty years single and nearly that long married, I could pen volumes on what I have learned about love in Thailand but I also know better than to start down that road.

[ResandePohm]

What a depressing thread.

What is so depressing is that so many here have their brains between their legs and do not understand the difference between sex and love
