nice one. I've tried for 23yrs and feel like giving up. In a bar in phuket.. Bangkok.. or pattaya your fine. Bit out in the country talking Thai with the parents.. or asking for food in the market. I have found the thais are lazy to try figure out what your saying. If it's not the correct TONE.. you'll be saying a different word. Some words have 5 tones.. meaning 5 different words. It's easy for me to work out what a foreigner is trying to say because of the situation-then correct and help them. Thai people have not done the same in my experience. They just don't understand what your trying to say.. Unless you speak correct.
Also don't hate the haters on the net.. Thailand really has had its fair share of horror stories.. ruining many lives. Most people go as a sex customer coz his friend went and told him of the fantastic time he had.. shopping.. for sex.
They fall for a girl and think she is different to the rest. The true is.. if I was a Thai girl I'd try anything to get a better life. Imagine having to work in a rice field or sugar cane.. 32deg heat. Or have a job in the
****
6 or 7 days a week. With maybe 1 or 2 weeks holiday a year. The fact they are women is a lower point to be in Thailand for most.? Least in my eyes.. son's are respected and though of better. So as a girl i would goto the bar to find a good guy to take care of me and more import MY family. And try tp have a good time getting drunk with new friends till this happens. I don't blame them for doing it. I just got frustrated by the foreign men sending so much money EVERY mth.!!! Thailand is a cheaper place to live. Ya can get a huge amount of Thai street food meal under 100bht. Only us falang want to spend over 1000bht per meal In a restaurant or somewhere.
The guys blame Thailand bar girls..but the reality is it's the sad.. well-off foreign guys sending his seemingly goodgirl princess LOADS of cash every mth. She has a home built gets a car.. tells her friends how she lives the good life. WE ARE TO BLAME. nor the thais
also.. listen to learn Thai with Mod on YouTube.. then goto your local Thai restaurant and have a practice asking for food.. drinks.. anc basic hello etc
try to find people who have taken there wife home. Or people who have been.. so you can ask all the questions you want to. I have a friend in California who is is a good place with his Thai wife.. and a friend in vagas.. who did the same had a child.. and it didn't work out. They would both have good advice
