When meeting a Thai Lady for a GF situation, I always inquire about her education and occupation. These are real indicators of her status in life. If she says she loves you and really doesn't need you then you can rest assured that she real.

RL.

Sound advice.

[Robert Long]

Yeah, agreed. For her it was clearly all about the economic long term proposition. She saw me as a way out of hooking to support her family. I went into this with eyes wide open but got caught up in things. During our week together in May I took the liberty of examining her phone and reading things I probably shouldn't have. It was informative and grounded me to make the decision later to cut her off completely. For anyone that thinks their Thai "love" is an innocent girl who is looking for love is fooling themselves.

Hi,

Been here long time but lazy reporter (Now bothering how could get some sense into these pages.

Www.lineswop.com and fanfinfin.com.

Looks that here's nice meat if just avoid Katoys).

[FormulaOneFan]

This type of Thai love is typically different from Farang love. Thais have economic love where they consider what guy might be best for their future and a pathway to be give up hooking and be supported. I had an ex Thai GF extremely jealous, but it was more like guarding her property, than like a Farang romance.

You made the right decision. You want a far more sensible girl. Real love should arrive very slowly indeed and also not disappear easily too. Fall for a girl quick, and likely will lose interest real quick too, or just find she is not really a match at all.

Even my long term current Thai GF admits that initially she was with me more for economic reasons than anything else. She had no money and economic difficulties. Respite from that was really great for her. She did not expect me to stick to her long term. She was extremely untrusting of guys in general, whether Thai or Farang. Certainly she was not going to fall for me real quickly. Eventually we became more like a normal couple but took a lot of time. After many years she has got used to us being a couple, and trusts that I am reliable and not likely to dump her for no reason. We are not perfectly suited sexually, but otherwise quite good.

It's only around 5000 baht for nearly 8 months in Thailand. 6 month plus another 60 days as long as you re-enter Thailand before your Visa expires.

Cost me close to 7000 Baht for 6 month multi-entry. Prices may have gone up or may vary by country of application.

[MakeItOrBreak]

All, thanks again for the many replies and suggestions! Especially the destination spots. She is from Phuket so maybe an island close by. Again this won't be till early 2018 so I have time!

F1 fan, things aren't even close to that level but I will watch out and thanks for the WhatsApp warning but she already had my FB!

Eihtooms, that is the spelling she used! Hunnymoon. I thought it was a typo but now that you said that maybe it's just a LT offer? I still haven't responded to the honeymoon comment but maybe I'll jokingly ask where she wants to go today. And suggest a 3 day adventure.

If party needs to be a part of it Samui, Phi Phi.

If quiet place is better Lanta, Yao Noi.

Good luck!

It is better now for me to pay for a proper 6 month multi entry VISA and be allowed to stay 60 days without having to go to get an extension. But it costs.

This is for those with no experiece. I needed to extend my visa. I have been here almost 1 month and did not get the visa extension at the airport. I am an American. I went to the immigration office at Phuket Town. It was the closest to me. All I had to do was fill out form, show passport, make a couple of copies of different pages of passport, get a passport photo and pay. The people at the immigration office were friendly and helpful. The process was quick.

Some things you will need are a pen, address of where you are staying, departure ticket and I think that was it. I didn't have departure ticket and it was not a problem at all. It cost me 1900 baht, plus 126 baht for photo and copies.

I hope this helps anyone with worries. It was all in all quick and easy.

That is very nice indeed. It is not quick and easy in Bangkok. Have to go to inconvenient location Chaeng Wattana Soi 7 and there is usually a very long queue of people doing the same thing. Monday and Friday are not the greatest, LOL!

Beware of leaving it till the last day, and finding it is a public holiday. So always do it maybe 3 government business days in advance of your 30 days expiring.

The government is starting to take a harder line on guys like me who were doing many freebie entries into Thailand per year. Officially they want to limit it to two times. It is better now for me to pay for a proper 6 month multi entry VISA and be allowed to stay 60 days without having to go to get an extension. But it costs.

Its all about the government making money from us, nothing to do with whether we are a risk to Thailand in some way. LOL

Never heard that joke either. I normally speak Thai with bargirls and quite unsure how it would be said in Thai. "Married today, divorced tomorrow", might not have the same level of sexual connotation.

I don't think the term "honeymoon" or the joke about it is Thai in origin or commonly used by Thais either. My impression was it was a word they'd heard from a farang and thought the joke was funny so repeated it. Last time I heard a Thai woman say the "honeymoon tonight, divorce tomorrow" bit was a server in Twisters go-go bar in Nana Plaza about a month ago when she gestured to the girls on stage trying to entice me to choose one to barfine.

[Syzygies]

I have had Thai girls, both P4 P and regular date girls, use the term "honeymoon / hunnymoon" many times. They have never meant it to be related to getting married and, in my memory, not even pushing for a 2-3 day trip out of town together, although they all like the idea of that. They have always only meant a night of sex together. Especially with bargirls, the joke goes something like, "Honeymoon tonight, divorce tomorrow!" LOL.

Good to provide that insight since I never heard a Thai girl use this term at all, at least that I can remember now. I could easily have forgotten. For sure we cannot expect them to be able to spell Honey correctly. The only girl I know so forward to suggest a lot of sex, would be more straight forward as she speaks very good English and has known me years so not shy. She would say: "We should fuck all day" or "I want you to [CodeWord123] me while I am sleeping". LOL So if any girl said lets have a Hunnymoon, I would assume it meant a special trip away (possibly) with copious sex assumed, but I would not be totally certain. Assumptions are dangerous.

So best just ask the girl how long is the hunnymoon and where should it happen?

For fun I looked up Honeymoon in a dictionary. Got two results (learn something new):

1. garn deum nam pheung phrajan. Which literally means "drinking honey of the moon" (very funny. So seems to be a Thai Euphemism used to indicate a Honeymoon).

2. bpai han-nee-moon. Thai has this word Honeymoon as well (borrowed from English) spelled slightly different of course in Thai script. So "go on a honeymoon".

Thai-Language.com:

Khuu baao saao ja bpai han-nee-muun thee chiiang mai.

In this example the Thai translates to: "The married couple will go Honeymoon in Chiang Mai", so seems there could be an implication of travel.

Thai Honeymoon could be on the cheap though. Go no where, just stay indoors for 3 days of fucking. LOL Just one night?
Hardly seems to qualify for a Honeymoon, but I can't say I know how Thai girls use it.
I have heard the term "Kheun Sawan" which means "Go to heaven" a Euphemism for extremely pleasurable sex bout.

[BushRusher]

As has been said. Likely a longer more focused time and / or trip to a destination is what she's meaning.

My lone experience 'falling' for a WG (a thermae girl) went differently and I've been meaning to post, so why not now?

Long story short. For those of us that visit the land of smiles for a nice GFE experience and consider keeping in touch with that 'special girl' you meet one night; think twice about how you connect. Whatsapp exposes your phone number. If you want to share info, consider WeChat instead. Also, if you return for a longer experience, keep tabs on things.

The second wife situation is acceptable in many cultures. Be aware, that it is wife situation with all the ups and downs and problems. Very dangerous if you are a foreigner or where you do not have a backup team. I suspect there are some stories on this site. IMHO, keep away from it. Most women will go psycho at some point.

Seen many guys try to guide a gal to an exclusive relation. It might work so long as the money keeps flowing. Think wiser to have an understanding of an honeymoon when you feel like it and for the duration you want. No future guarantees.

[Syzygies]

Every day longer than 3 days dramatically increases the odds of something going wrong. Keep in mind, you are not going to be making love all the time, in fact, the majority of your time together will be doing other things, including doing mundane things, so make sure you are compatible and that you go somewhere that you both can enjoy like Phuket or Ko Chang (the beach) or Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, or Mae Hong Son. (the Hill Country)

http://wikitravel.org/en/Mae_Hong_Son_Loop).

If you are unsure about taking her somewhere then don't bring up the idea again and let it whither on the vine. Just say you are looking forward to seeing her again and leave it at that.

I agree with this very much. Good to check if the girl likes snorkelling or beech activities or not because she is too afraid her skin will go dark colour. Some of the other options are good.

One girl I know recently went to Maldives with a guy. She came back still with white skin. LOL Lots of SPF 50 or stayed out of the sun completely?

Tham Kaew Komon (Crystal Cave) is amazing, if happen to be in Mae Hong Son, but it is a far trip on a winding road to Mae La Noi district and is closed in rainy season (open Oct). I see now it is mentioned in Natty's link about the long winding Loop tour, and is a MUST! Very worth it for me and my girl. Other caves are shit in comparison (e. G. The touristy stinky bat shit cave Tham Lod is not worthwhile in my opinion).

The other guy suggested Bang Saen. I suggest not. That is too down market to interest the girl very much. A family beach destination. The girl could go there anytime of her own volition if she wanted it, being so close and so cheap. That would be well below the style of Natty or myself. Pick something more exciting if you can afford it. Phi Phi Island, Krabi, or even Hua Hin or Koh Samet might be good enough. Koh Lipe is really good but far and not well known (near to west most border with Malaysia). A lot of Scandinavian tourists go there who love the nature. In past I took an MP girl to Krabi and Phi Phi Island (3 days) and I had a great time indeed. I also took a girl to Koh Lipe, or rather she took me, since she lived not far away in Satun province.

So many good options in Thailand, but check what the girl likes most. Some day I must take a girl to Nakhorn Wat (Angor Wat) in Cambodia, and may choose a Cambodian girl from Siem Riap to be my guide since she speaks the lingo as well as Thai, besides being slim sexy and a good fuck.

OK, thanks for the quick replies! Natty thanks for the 3 day length suggestion. Sounds like the right amount and yes, I would love to take her on a romantic getaway. I'm curious how the bar compensation will be but it won't be till next year anyway.

Hack,

A good place for a short romantic break could be Bang Saen, a small, mostly Thai resort between BKK and Pattaya. Very laid back with great sea food and minimal travel costs, probably 500 to 800 Baht by taxi from BKK.

I like hotel Sez at the northern end of Bang Saen, very modern with GREAT multi person showers. It is used by many Thais from BKK for a short weekend break.

The last time I was there I was the only Farang staying in the hotel!

Enjoy, Hotman.
