I'm almost 40, never got married, no children. I live in taiwan and I date with girls who studied abroad, who got good jobs and are financially independent (besides of being much well educated and better looking than thai). I saw hundreds of men in love like you who think they've found an angel who is
*****
yrs younger and fall in love again after a previous sh it ty relationship with a western girl. Again, it's all love, blossoms and happiness as soon as there's money for her "stability". Once the money is over, they'll move as fast as they came

the japanese do it cuz they are curious, thai cuz they've heard that a farang boyfriend is like winning the lottery. If you speak thai and you listen to what actual thai people say (even on tv drama/show), they have spread the concept that western guy bring wealth to the whole family. On the other side, japanese are wealthier than 90% of the world

@Les **********
well, why any young woman would hope onto a middle age western guy except for her having daddy issues?

@Pat ******
does it hurt your feelings knowing that thai girls are attracted by middle age foreigners cuz they need a financial stability? Just a second choice cuz the thai guys who were in first place kinda didn't care about her

I've been in asia for over 20yrs, I've dated with singaporean, japanese, korean and taiwanese the most. They have never made the relationship a money thing. With thai is the opposite, before or after, money will come up. Not a twisted long term farang, I've seen dozens of friends' wives cheating or leaving for a poor thai guy who also got benefit of this situation. You are so in love that you have to put her picture even on your profile picture, how could you sober enough to understand that stability is just the money u bring to her pocket

I'm wrong till your financial status keeps being good. I'll be terribly right once you get any sort of issues or u can't support her anymore

@Pat ******
that's the point, they get a farang boyfriend cuz they get benefits. I've been around thailand for over 20yrs, their mentality is completely different from ours but you still believe that your gf loves you for who you really are and not for other reasons. Tell your gf you are poor and you can't support her, let's see how long your honeymoon will go ;)
Michael **********
short answer is no. They all claim to be good girls till $ is involved. Thai love thai, if they date with a foreigner is for some financial benefits otherwise they'd date with they country guys

I believe that 90 more days wouldn't be an issue but if you've planned to stay longer then you need to get a proper visa
Michael **********
was this your first time in thailand and just for 90days?
