Good lord man, I always went Dutch with non-prositute women of that age range (admittedly I focus more on 30-40 and well-off). Sounds like you're setting your sights too low - you could probably...

She probably meant both - the great majority of farang living in Thailand make far less than the tourist visitors. Teachers are a majority of working expats, and make only around 30-40 thousand baht...

Yea that's what its called up here in Isaan, for sure. No one will know what you're talking about if you say 'Dutch Treat'.

I guess its fairly obvious that this is true of bar girls, but I've had a few relationships with middle class girls where no money whatsoever passed from me to her, and in general we went...

No. By my definition girlfriends or giks are those I spend little or no money on. Mostly in those types of relationships we do things by 'American shares' as the Thais call it. If you're paying a...

I'm not that interested, and prefer P4P for the variety and ease. But I have often also had girlfriends and giks in Thailand. Its just not as appealing - a lot of work for less reward.

The arrogance is getting thick in this thread. People always want to dehumanize those beneath them on the social scale by claiming they are 'less intelligent' or in some way lacking in character. ...

Please excuse me for saying so, Franfurter, but this is both offensive and inaccurate.

I suppose the reason many punters like to tell themselves that prostitutes are unintelligent is related to...

Yes I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Many visitors are here for only a short time and select very quickly. To find beauties is much rarer than it used to be and would require a lot...

Why would a Thai guy do an old lady like that? They have much better options. The vast majority of Thai guys have no interest in old women, and demand (and easily get) sweet young stuff. Basically...

No doubt. But it is important to remember how bad it is in the rest of the world. In much of the world, men over 45 or 50 can no longer hope to inseminate young women - thus, they really have no...

I don't get why you and OTH are so eager to see your workplaces become more demanding. Working for the government, in a bureacracy, with little accountability is a dream job.

Both of my 'real girlfriends' in Thailand studied at this one.

There are actually quite a few middle class people (well, more like very upper-middle class or local capitalist class), and Isaan people who attended Chula or Thammasat. Most of my Thai friends are...

Actually, while your list was very entertaining, the vast majority of poor Thais, just like working class people anywhere, toil their whole life for their owners (and, strangely, with a high degree...

I can't say I blame them there, AndyBkk. I can think of few things more tiresome than 'hanging out' with a hooker. Well I don't mind a 15 minute chat afterwards but anything beyond that is...

I think this is the key to the relative success of this relationship for you - ill treatment is almost always what wins hearts with the fair sex.

(this is true in any country or culture, not just...

You may be right but I don't see why you've felt it necessary to call me 'shitballs'. I mean it was just that one time...

;)

I've known quite a few farang girls (teachers of course) who had Thai boyfriends, and almost to a man those fellows were Southerners. Southerners are much bolder and more macho, as I understand it. ...

Thank you for the kind thought, sir.

Actually I don't entirely disagree with your views, or your taste (I like various types, but the high-end white-skinned do have their appeal). And any...

It is strange that a person would be alienated from a temple to crass materialism (a mall) just because she was a prostitute. One would think that this would make her the perfect denizen!

Thank you for the pep talk, Barko. First thing tomorrow I will call the airline and try to move up my return date!

Honestly I am beginning to have nightmares that the airport will get closed...

Same here exactly. Only here because of songkran and family. And maybe it is good to remind ourselves a) how lucky we are, and b) how strenuously we should strive to avoid having to return to the...

Fellows I'm back in the Land of the Free again for a brief visit and even being here for a few weeks has put me into a state of shock - its not unlike a tour of an abattoir. I forgot how bad it was!...

Wealthy man considers abandoning wife and son to move to a country where he has no right to own property or reside permanently, because he experienced the poontang of a 40 year old prostitute sans...
