Hot or Not? What Thai Girls Look for in a Foreign Guy

by Danny.Nomad August 11, 2009 Bangkok Nightlife

Given the huge cultural differences between Thailand and the West, its not surprising that what’s hot in one culture may not be all that in the other.  In the two years I’ve lived in Thailand, I’ve seen guys that would be considered pretty average back home end up with super hot Thai girls.  On the [...]

Why Do Farangs Fall For Scams?

by Billy Bangkok November 25, 2008 Expat Life

This week Stickman has yet another tale of woe from the Land of Smiles. I’m always surprised to what lengths guys will go to in order to stay buried in a fantasy world which simply doesn’t exist.  Things that they would never do back home suddenly appear completely sane in Thailand.  Often it is because [...]
