Posts: 90Thanks Giotto for your support, and Mick for sympathizing.
Women really have the guts to wonder why we monger? Too bad the only woman who can sympathize with us are lesbian.

Well I finally meet up with my girl and had a unforgettable night! How did this happen you might ask, well heres the story.
I checked into the hotel, went up to my normal room and meet my wanabe girlfriend. So I had decided before I left I would just come straight out and ask if see has a boyfriend and if not why can she not meet with me. Well she started crying and said she has no boyfriend. she says she is embarrassed to tell me that she lives a few hours away in a small village and takes bus to and from work. I said that I do not care where she lives and that we should go out, have some drinks and really get to no one another. She then tells me she gets off of work at 5pm (which I know) but that the last bus leaves at 7pm! so if she stayed to go out with me she would be stranded! So to make a long story short. I changed hotels, we went out, had fun and she stayed the night! I feel so dumb, I guess I never asked the right questions.

Thanks, this has allowed me to think this out better and see it more clearly. Like hitting the refresh button!
Hope all is well with you and family,

Not really. If this goes on for years now this girl is also not too young any more and should not have problems to leave home to meet you.
Looks to me that she has a boyfriend.
Another option could be that she looses her job when she meets you. Some hotels don't allow their staff to meet customers outside of the hotel.

I did not know what to do, but I like her and she seems to like me but something is holding her back?
Any ideas?

Do I understand correctly: 8 years, many attempt to meet somewhere outside of the hotel, and she never shows up?

BTW, I do not bring working girls to my hotel room.
I am a massage parlour person. This also in the south Hatyai.

Posts: 90Trying to bring this thread back to life.
Hello all,
I have a question concerning a thai lady. I do think it is appropriate to this thread and not the thai women thread. so OK, I have been staying at the same Hotel for 8 years. I travel to Thailand once every 2 to 3 months, for the past 8 years. This girl happens to be one of the housekeepers for the floor I stay on. I am very interested in her, and she in me. Whenever I ask her out on a date she says yes, we decide on venue and time, but she never shows up! Now, I first thought this was a 'not loosing face' issue where should would not want to say no to me, but during the day, before she leaves work she will stop by to "check" I have everything I need, while doing so she will confirm the date, smile really big and then giggle her way out of the room. Then I thought ok, she must have been held back by her parents, as she lives with them still. but I have meet her parents when the captain of house keeping passed away. So I now do not know what the matter is! I know she likes me, she is always smiling, and not in the normal thai fashion, then after about 2 years she would grab my hand, then it culminated a few years back with her grabbing my ass! Any ideas?
OK, I would like to feedback on wai-ing. I do believe one of the reasons it is so hard for farang in this area of whom to or not to wai comes down to the fact that in our home countries we are not on a different class level then the people we deal with in Thailand. At least in the sense that we 'started' there, ie service industry or the like. Also western people are raised to be polite. We are always looking for the way to be polite in other cultures, and naturally without guidance we would tend to latch onto something that fills our need to be polite as soon as we find it and in Thailand we are Wai-ed too even before the first smile. (As immigration has never smiled to me before. LOL and next person i meet is the tout wai-ing to me and offering to take me to a great hotel) so my point in this is to ask those guys out there who live and work in Thailand, unlike us part timers and first timers. What can we do, short of just nodding, to cover OUR need to be polite and cover THERE need of not loosing face or feeling embarrassed?

It was a big coincidence how we met and I'm very happy I met her. I have been together with some "rich" and respected girls from LOS before I met her, and she is far better than any of those, but of course there are good "rich" girls too. And BTW, she's never worked in any bar or go-go. Her Parents have always had just enough money to provide for their kids. As a matter of fact, when I brought her to a go-go bar for the first time, she was really shocked and wanted to leave strait away. She said she became very sad to see what her fellow country girls had to do for a living.

A nice touch, if you have a regular Thai girl in your life is when she wai's you and then the headboard of the bed before she goes to sleep. I've never had a BG do this. But, lots of nice TGs do it. It's quite charming.

Posts: 397I was clued in when I got there so I never wai'd anybody and I didn't run into any monks. The only time I wai'd was at the big Buddha images at the Wat Prakeuw. But I have to say some Thai girls are just so cute when they wai you.
