thaibeachlovers Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Or, when did Thailand stop being the best place you'd ever been? For me it was when the beloved convinced me to move to the village permanently. That was the day the dream ended, though it took another 4 years to reach the sad conclusion.

eldragon Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Around the 6 month mark. I was walking down my soi with a Thai girl and she informed me that most Thais assume a Thai girl with a white foreigner is a hooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess no matter what serious relationship you get into who knows how long it will last, in my case three, l would of said in your case it would have gone that way anyway maybe just taken a bit longer. Been married over 12 years, took 3 year to get to know each other before the marriage commitment and retiring in Thailand, no regrets yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the blatant truth and anyone who disagrees or whose closest and dearest disagrees is not facing the truth. I recall some "intelligent men" believing this notion was so "proejective" but it's the truth, sadly and that ideal reflects badly and is a 1st impression so it's an uphill battle from the outset.

tifino Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 pretty much as soon after your missus knows all your past - via pillowtalk I had at some time mentioned of my ex-filo, who wouldn't hold hands, in her (filo) village. Now, I was pretty detailed, in that it was all because of her being afraid of being seen with a whiteman, by her allegedy ex-hubby, or one of his mates. Missus puts on that same cringing-thinking-face, and... at some later date, we are walking in her thai village... Missus has this flashback, and suddenly from that point on, refused to hold hands - because she then came out with the "it Thai custom, not to..." thing note to self - never threaten honeymoons, by letting the past back in to haunt you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissie Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 My Honeymoon will end next Wednesday. Court date. (After 15 years of marriage). - Fortunately, I learned about her "long term Plans" concerning our marriage 4 years ago. This gave me 4 precious years time to make assets "disappear". Assets still in existence, but "invisible". - I do not differentiate between a short term "Gold Digger" and a long term "Gold Digger". She is in for the surprise of her life. No, this old boy here (for a change), will not be taken to the "cleaners" by a lovely Thai-Wife ! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeahSiam Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 More than 7 years later, I'm pleased to report that my 'honeymoon' continues, I've been incredibly fortunate here in that I've never been scammed, never had issues with landlords and deposits, 'racism', the BiB, immigration, adjustment to the Thai way of doing things or the local women. As I said, luck has played a part but I think adhering to some basic rules had a hand in it too: Steering clear of pissheads, not letting the party scene interfere with my work, being content alone (not lonely) and not compromising on standards when it comes to women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 If the question really is, when did you begin to see Thailand realistically? I would say within 2 months. But with all its warts, there is still more positive than negative for me. Althought they're doing their best to even the odds. But so is the rest of the world right?

It's all about dress, deportment, speech and attitude. Oh, and tattoos. Thais can also see the difference between farangs with educated, middle class girls and westerners who've paired off with peasants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the consensus seems to be that Thai girls who date foreigners do it b/c they need something from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 When I started to live here permanently, as opposed to coming here on holiday. For most people I think it's best to keep it as a holiday dream. The reality and the fantasy rarely match. For me it makes no difference, I've just recreated in Thailand the life I had in the UK. Same old trips to Big C, same old visits to family. The first year or two were pretty exciting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just get bored of the way Thai girls look around like they're wondering who's watching them every time they're approached by a foreigner. It's one of those things you can't unsee.

Or maybe you look like Alain Delon and proud that she met you, and this is independent of race.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
