What do Isaan women really like?

[SantiSuk]

Babies (you need to get to work on that one straight away!), gold shops, beauty salons (good gossip), other shops in general and family & friends big group dining - preferably at their mother's table.

Scooters for the family .. money

Food.... Lots of food... money

Sleep.... Lots of sleep....money

My dear friend,the first thing that you have to learn is,that unlike other vampires,female isaan ones,keep their fangs in their vagina's.

Besides money, what is it that they typically enjoy, value, and like?

Thai men. As much as a Thai women slag off Thai men they always go back to them. Farang men are okay in that they can give a Thai lady what she wants in monetary values. But farangs are boring and only a Thai man knows how to smooth talk a Thai lady and make her laugh. I see this many a time when a Thai lady returns from abroad for a home visit on her own. It's party time.

Possibly you meant astrology not astronomy.  There is a big difference.

Oh god yes this is a great point and I can't believe I forgot it.

My wife always goes to the temple to make merit and comes back with a backpack full of food.  They have no issue coming into your yard and picking your bananas, mangos etc..everyone does it to everyone else.  Actually I quite like their concept of sharing everything in the small villages.  One of the students rocked up to our house on Saturday with a big bag of vegetables for us.  

 

you are right . . . it is as if socialism/communitarism has entered these people's lives. My motorcycle is open to being borrowed by whoever needs it, and regarding the bananas in the garden, I have never had a chance to eat any of these in 8 years

I I gave her a gift of an expensive, genuine hand-painted boomerang (costing about 5,000 Baht) that I'd picked up in Australia. 

 

Did you really expect her to see any value in a piece of wooden stick engraved with a few scribbly paintings, she cannot decipher?

 

You can buy wooden OTOP stuff like this in Eesarn for 80 Baht

My girl was born and raised in Isaan but moved to BKK in her 20s and has worked mostly Italian Restaurants since. She likes to dress fashionable but is modest. She loves food like your girl and for being 4'11 and 99 lbs can eat her weight in thai food and snacks. Having a lot of money isn't important to her so I would say what she always seems to want the most is time with me. So I take her to the movies and dinner and she seems perfectly happy. If I try to give her something too substantial, she won't like it because she thinks it's a waste of money so I don't bother. Stopping at the 7-11 and bringing her some Squidy (gross) or Big Sheet snacks makes her happy the most.

I can't tell you how many 'free' bottles of mouthwash, dishwasher rinse aid, multi-purpose cleaner etc we have in the cupboard. Probably enough to see us through until 2025.

Actually I meant astronomy. I am aware of the difference. They are also very interested in astrology too.

Again, im shocked. I used to get her gifts and she straight out hated whatever i got her. She didnt hide her displeasure too. I mean, i thought courtesy when receiving a gift was an international practice. Under normal circumstances, you don't show people you don’t like their gift .I found that to be really rude... still do.

She was never happy with anything i got her. I enjoy seeing people's faces light up when they're presented something nice. I never got that from her, so it was a bit depressing. So after a while, i stopped getting her anything, even food. Unless it's something i know she likes, i would never go out of my way to surprise her with anything. But I realized something, when it was something cheap or at a bargain, she immediately liked it. When it was something that cost more than discount store prices, she automatically hated it.

[Khon Kaen Dave]

I have to agree with fordguy.My wife was born in Isaan.We met When she was working in a factory making trainers for Addidas.She was working all the hours so she could to make a better house for her mum.Over the years we had 2 bars together and she was a loyal and honest partner.She doesnt like to see money wasted and will often refuse if i offer to buy her something.She likes going to markets and will find pleasure in the most menial of things.She wanted to buy some second hand shoes,but i put a stop to that.She,not me,paid for and finished the house,where we now live.Its a bungalow type and very European.I cant complain and would take issue with anybody whom puts all Isaan girls in the same category as some fools believe. She's still pretty at 45,she weighs 43 kilos and she may be an Isaan girl,but she's my Isaan girl.

What I've learned and I'll say from my girl and not Isaan girls because it may be different for others, is that she isn't a typical sappy romantic heart like a lot of women are. She'd rather be practical with money. When I first met her it hurt my feelings when I would try to be romantic with a luxurious gift or gesture and she was like, "meh". Now I appreciate that about her. Not being sappy doesn't translate to not being affectionate and passionate, however. Now that I've figured her out my feelings don't get hurt anymore. I wouldn't take it personally.

Are ALL farangs the same ?

 

[davetrout]

My wife is all about the family back in her home. She works here in australia and sends all the money to her mum. It doesn't worry me because i have enough and she doesn't ask me for money. She takes care of me and our son very good. She comes from poor farm in sisaket. Since she has been with me in australia working for 2 years, the farm has car, tractor, pork farm, chickens and ducks. Now they are doing very well. Next on her list is buying new home for her family. all these things she does makes her very happy. And of course she is number 1 daughter now.

Naa that's just not true and I have know many thai ladies and some have become very good friends. Some may 'like' Thais but most much prefer a decent farang guy. They find us 'exotic' and much more polite. If they speak English Thai guys are really  down the list and not just because of the money.

45?  good for you - be happy is all that counts but I wouldn't trade in the beauties I date around 25 to 35 for a 45 but then I have never looked for a 'partner' and don't really get why anyone would. Good luck to all and do what makes you happy.

Completely false. You've been told what they want you to believe. Give them a chance to let their hair down with a farang or with a Thai guy, they'd jump for the Thai guy, I can assure you.Thai guy's are in fact top of the list when a lady returns from abroad on her own. I see it all the time. "They find us 'exotic' and much more polite." May be in the early stages of a relationship but it's just a novelty and they soon crave for the company of  their own kind.

Same goes for women who's husbands work shifts on the oil fields etc. All's well and good when the hubby's home she is the faithful wife. As soon as the hubby's away the mouse will play. And I'm not just making that up I see it.

WOW! That pretty much sums up exactly how she is, i mean to a tee - except the skin part. Just wow!

Food is her comfort. I used to think that it’s just her personal weakness - an addiction like that of ppl i'd seen on t.v shows. Didn’t know the whole town was like that. Feel like there is a factory somewhere in the village where they install the same version personality chip in each one as soon as they are born.

not sure you are right there... but it's academic for me as I have no intentions of being 'serious' with any Thai girl.  The ones I know well tell me they always prefer a farang as they are less selfish (they say) and certainly better lovers than the young Thai boy 'Wham Bam Thank you Mam' dudes

I can only present from close friends what they tell me... I have no dog in the fight and could not care less if they prefer Thais, Farangs or Aborigines. They tell me, sincerely I believe, that many Thai girls prefer farangs not least because they see them as more 'loyal' (not saying this is true of course) and much, much more polite.

Yes, I wavered on including it. But in the end, I chucked it in as they all seem to know when a lunar eclipse or passing of Venus is upcoming. It all seems to be sourced from Thai news or social media sites and is probably, as you alluded, fuelled around an interest in astrology. Although, I feel natural phenomena in their own right are of interest to Isaan women.
