You may be shocked. This is a good point. These women tend to represent an exception to the norm. They kinda fall in between stereotypes and are very rare. When a Thai women learns English very well and in turn is exposed to western ways of thinking she might find she's not satisfied with a Thai man that can't communicate in English and is unable to relate to the worldly matters she is interested in.

bermannor Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Sipi, rather hypothetical. The muscle shirt and shorts wearing farang, in hospital due to hitting the floor or got hit by a fellow quality farang because of too much alc will not ask a nurse. He has other prey patterns ?

bermannor Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 mikiea, and not all Thai men do that. They work hard on a construction site for 400 Baht or less a day when you observe them from your aircon pub sipping 2 beers for 400 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The same reason white girls are ruined after they've had a black man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Well we have heard all the generalisations. My experience - out of about 20 farang i know only 2 have been in marriages which have broken up in the last 7 years. All of them are married to Isaan girls. Security is their wives first desire, but they do seem to mainly look after their husbands very well. And many more girls are looking ....... nearly all divorcees with Thai ex-partners. Says it all really. These are mainly retired farangs. Younger, working ex-pats may have different experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconator Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I know a Thai woman from Sukhothai who worked in Taiwan for 3 years. She said she would not want to marry a foreigner, and prefers Thai men over foreign men, including Asians who are not Thai. She met her Thai husband abroad, and returned to Thailand to marry him and start a family. They are now happily married with 2 children. As for the "Thai man no good" cliche, it's because Thais know what those types of women are really up to, and what the consequences will be. More like, clueless man good, smart man no good.

Maybe this is true of the Western-Thai couples you know, though my experience is different. Of the four couples I can think of that live closest to us, one lady is a long-time restaurant owner and classically trained chef (Europe), one is a language translator that met her husband in Belgium, one is a lawyer married to lawyer from the USA, and one is the local Asst. Amphoe (district officer). So as you see, the generalization of most being former bar girls really does not carry in all circles... Cheers!

Cheers! yes this like i said was just from what i have seen over the last 10 years, of course others may have seen differently. interestingly the guys that have lost the most to their exes are the ones who tended to deny their girls were bar girls. without a doubt the happiest of my friends living here are the single ones. cheers.

varun Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm going to go against the tide here and say, NO, it would not be a red flag IF one or more of the below is true: The girl in question is: 1) A non working girl 2) She is divorced with children from a previous marriage with a Thai male 3) She is single & recently burned from a previous relationship with a Thai male 4) She's previously dated a farang, as a result of either 2/3 or both, and prefers to date farang men 5) She's well-educated, well-traveled and is open to dating anyone, regardless of ethnicity as long as they're 'jaidee' I' daresay that a combination of the circumstances listed above would account for perhaps 90% of thai-farang relationships. The simple fact of the matter is that Thai males across the socioeconomic strata don't set the bar very high due to their apparent: - Laziness - Cheating - Drinking & gambling habits - Sense of entitlement due to excessive mollycoddling by their parents - Propensity for violence especially over trivial things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retirementenquiry Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I live here observations recent and longtime Why is it when the thia guy is in trouble with the police its usually the sister or mother pays the bail Lots of the younger girls in bars have TBF used to be mainly go go, they cleverly start ringing the girls when they know they are barfined and gone to your room, and in an attempt to get them to leave knowing they may still get paid. I warn girls before barfine if their phone gets busy they will be out the door no pay mayb just 100b for taxi Look around if you go cinema rarely see farang with lady all thai couples thai’s are enjoying a higher standard of living these days thai rak thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bermannor Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Spent only have a day in Pattaya more than 40 years ago, never returned. Have seen most of Thailand except the deep South. Prefer to observe peoples, specially foreigners and how they behave and travel to areas where I don't meet one, often for more than a week. No places to "barfine"a girl..

Dale59 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I see a lot of Thai women with Thai men for some reason, and there are an awful lot of Thais in Thailand, so it appears they are hooking up despite our good looks and charm!Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwdrwdrwd Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Here's the issue IMO - class remains a huge factor in Thailand, there is very little upward mobility via marriage. This means that for a working class or lower middle class woman (which is by far the largest group in Thailand), her pool of Thai suitors is limited to working and lower middle class men. As in the west this means they earn less money, and often tend to booze more, fight more and struggle more. Marrying a westerner tends to mean that at least the financial aspect is improved, even if that westerner is also working or lower middle class. In short, most of the women who say this type of thing (not all) tend to be working or lower middle class. It is rare that an upper middle or 'hi so' Thai woman marries a westerner, since they have access to wealthier Thai men that tend to drink less, have less stress and live life with far less struggles. In short, 'I don't like Thai men' actually often means 'I don't like the Thai men that I have access to'. Just my opinion on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just add those women typically seem to be a bit naive too in the sense that they assume a western man will by default be any different (just like some of us are naive in thinking we're automatically getting a better girl over here).Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 On 22/11/2016 at 7:43 AM, Pungdo said: My wife hates Thai men as her Thai BF way back beat her up and took all of her hard earned money out of the bank and pissed it up against a wall while playing cards with his mates. She has gone so far as to tell her son, that if he turns into his father she will disown him. My wife was married to a policeman. She was single for 7 years before we met and would not marry another Thai if she could not find a foreigner. She is one of many Thai women I have met who would not have another Thai bf. We are together 11 years, nearly 8 years in my country and now nearly 4 years here and many of her friends feel the same as her. Burned too badly and not wishing to repeat history. Thai men are mostly not good husband material. It is too easy to play around here and there is social pressure to have Mia nois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
