There is also the fact that in Western countries there are social programs. In the case of a “bar girl” one never knows how she got there. Also, it is the fact you knew her “when”.
One thing,how is a respectable woman treated? What are the social mores that a farang needs to know? In most western countries men are treated very rudely that sets us up for when an attractive woman treats us with consideration. Rude behavior by the wife is a common place item in art forms and stories. What is it in Thailand? What are the expectations?

Great input. I hope you find the time, one day, to explain the hidden hierarchy in Thai society that you mention!

I would disagree with JonnyK in that many of us travel to Thailand for more than just sex. He’s right that there are better beaches. Some might even argue that Thai food in the US or Europe is even better than some of the Thai food in Thailand (because it’s been adapted to farang tastes). There are a lot of places better than Thailand if you want to do a spot by spot comparison.

But it’s the whole package that makes Thailand such a wonderful place. It’s the whole mai ben rai attitude. It’s the Thai smile. It’s the wai. It’s because it is a world so different from what we know and the more we get to know it the more we realize we how little we know.

I would say that 95% of men come to Thailand just for sex. There are much better beaches in other parts of the world. And Thai food is not worth the trip.

Excellent article man, you’ve hit the spot with thai girl scam artists. It’s true most of them are just whores and scam artists, but just the one you’d find in bars or massage parlors, if you’d go to a regular joint i bet you can find a lot of thai decent girls. If your a 60 old dude and you’re hanging around with a nice ass 20 yr old thai girl, it’s pretty clear she’s staying for the money.

Very wise insight of human nature… I think a woman who is bright, courious as well as honest and knowing her own mind would be very interesting, Thai or Farang! If I had come to Thailand as a young man, I’m sure I would have been suduced by the beauty of many willing ladies but my youth has passed and I have only a few regrets. At 60 I think one loyal woman would be plenty. I have considered moving to Asia as I have traveled in Asia and have friends I enjoy there. Thank you for you opinion concerning foolish old men with “large hearts and small brains”. Jerry USA
