London much cheaper than the rest of the UK for flights. I'm in Thailand 3-4times a year so have to budget abit, usually fly to Milan and then from there as it saves me a few hundred but just very long.
Me to I'm literally always the only farrang about where I go 😂Met alot of decent foreign people whilst people whilst in Thailand but also met alot of g*bshites. From disrespectful students and backpackers to the seedy older fellas who are there for one thing.We complain when it happens in England though with foreigners
very true the same ones who think they own the place because they have some money and can buy women. Always see them guys getting jealous when younger guys go over
I was thinking that mate, my girlfriend is thai but I don't to marry so soon only been together 16 months, she's coming on a tourist visa in April (she only has holidays from work then)until then I go there every few months. Does it not affect the visa process if not married though ?
Arr fair does that's good, there is genuine of course I think alot of thais are very kind and stereotyped.
I'm pretty much the same like often even if I try to pay for a meal her sister and sisters boyfriend will say no and are quiet proud. My girlfriend only actually earns 15k baht a month so I'm happy to help her out but she passed the tests on 1st dayes paying her share. I tell her not to do overtime but she always ignores anyway 😂 Did give her 15k baht for her birthday though and she was shocked haha which in reality for me is just a few days work. So yes gifts and treats but same as with a western girl I'd never let them leach or expect it.
2 years ago, left my job and went to travel then ended up living between there and Australia. My girlfriend is from Bkk but she baught a condo just outside as its cheaper and her work is there.
At the moment I'm back in the UK working, we're just tryna figure out what to do I think she will be coming here we will both work for a while then return. I'm back over in 6 weeks but just a holiday to see her, then she'll come here on tourist visa first after Christmas then eventually for a few years so we can both rack up abit of money.
I'd been previously a place called Chiang Kham a few hours from Chiang Rai, an old friend lived there for 7 years, was married to a thai teacher who's family owned a school and had to kids together. They're divorced now though and he's been back sometime. He did say a few things though like when he played for a football team after a match all the lads would order beers and expect him to pay, also he had to pay his ex wifes mother like £3000 to marry her 😬 this is like 12 years ago. In general though he was skint and her family looked after him
Maybe depends what part you live and if the western man is being used for only 1 thing. I mean my girlfriend works in an office 6 days per week earns her own money, he sister works in health department, sisters boyfriend IT tech.. all of them work and don't expect me to pay for everything, If it's a small village say in ISAN maybe completely different, or bar girls in Pattaya. Bangkok has a population of over 11 million 🤷♂️
I mean I find thai culture pretty easy to adapt to but being used as an ATM is not thai culture, I see plenty of Women working harder than the men.
I mean older fellas that go for bar girls whey out their league always say this, yet they tend to deserve to be scammed anyway 🤷♂️ Massive pollution though I'll say the thais I know who work hard are not like this easy to stereotype but western women are probabally worse in my opinion
