Twaddle?
... Twiddle !!
The subject is will expats stay or leave if twat dries up - not even mentioned is the tourism fraction and my following quoted statement stands.
I'm not against men getting off, I'm against them getting off all over women in way of supporting mostly male corruption, not the women. It is a societal ill.
lol i think we met before on Thai rainbow if not your doing a good impersonation of a thai woman who lived in Khon kaen.lol
Amazing how a simple question about expats living in Thailand primarily for the hookers can cause so much dissent.
I can see where someone who married a Thai lady who may have benn involved in prostitution would get upset, but that was not the topic.
Having read Thai expat forums for years, it is very common to encounter many Thai expats who hate the Thai people, hate the Thai government, hate the Thai police, hate the heat and humidity, hate the Thai culture, hate the crime, etc. yet they stay in Thailand.
I expect a few married a Thai lady who will not leave Thailand, thus forcing the expat to stay in Thailand, but most stay here of their own accord (especially the single men) thus prompting this thread.
As always, I appreciate the honest opinions, but have to wonder about all the emotional, personal diatribes. Why are there so many unhappy expats living in Thailand?

I am not so convinced that it is hate as much as dislike. May be the reason many expats stick around things they only dislike.
As has been said before, there are negatives to every place livable and it depends on the extent of that dislike as to whether one leaves of stays. We all have our individual tolerance levels.

There aren't! You are assuming that the expats that spend their time posting on forums are a fair representation of expats in general. I'm fairly sure that isn't the case.Originally Posted by RickThai
The percentage of forum members who seem to hate Thailand may be unusually high, but that has no bearing on expats in general. Again, to look at it logically, that's like going in to a doctors surgery and deducing that the town you are in, must have a higher percentage of sick people than normal, because all the people you can see are sick.
People who are unhappy will often find their way to forums in a desperate need to vent and unburden themselves of all the things that aren't going right in their lives. Unhappy people like to be heard, thus making the percentages out of whack with the general expat population.
Just like people who aren't sick don't go to the doctors, most happy people are far too busy to spend a lot of time on forums.
Yes, I am aware I use the word logic a lot, but if people would stop being illogical, I wouldn't have to
But not in your face the same as the farang monger market. I actually once rented the upper half of a large ho house catering to Thais only and didn't even know it existed. Hypocritical? Perhaps. Cleaner, more pleasant environment? definitely.Originally Posted by Yasojack
WRONG. Was told by my female Thai tutor that for a Thai woman to have an affair is culturally unacceptable and 'barb', sin.Originally Posted by Yasojack

MOST of the World's male population do not end up the bitter enraged monger you are presenting yourself as, having 'to go somewhere else to find happiness'.Originally Posted by Marmite the Dog
The Western women's gain is sadly, the farang woman in Thailand's, loss. Never mind. You'll have all died out soon. Rather like the delusional dinosaurs you are. Chin up
unfortunately as Thailand is a developing country the option of getting a good education leading to a career is not available for the majorityOriginally Posted by Hypatia
Lots of expats have a hobby of moaning and whingeing, but living somewhere is always a balance between the good and the ugly.Originally Posted by RickThai
obviously, for most, the good wins
I have reported your post
whatever you were told, dismiss it
women are sexual creatures too, and many do have affairs. Amongst our acquaintances I know of at least four who have been caught out, not bargirls
and it is quite common for a girl to have several "sponsors" who know nothing of each other, although admittedly they are bargirls
whilst something may be culturally unacceptable, that does not mean it doesn't happen, in any society
why do you put "marrying" in inverted commas? seems like you have some problemOriginally Posted by tamsin
the sex trade will exist in every country as it always has done, however repressive or liberal the regime, so the thread's basic premise is a nonsense
Its also unacceptable in most Thai women's eyes for men to have extra marital affairs, but it still happens
I know of two women in this village who are doing it and there husbands know.
When i lived in BKK some of my neighbours wives told there husbands that if they did it they would to.

There's your problem! Get told one wrong thing, by one person and you are convinced it's gospel. I wonder if it would have been the same if she had told you something you hadn't want to hear.Originally Posted by tamsin
