    single or attached - the great thailand debate

    is it better to be single or attached in bkk, or thailand in general?

    the reason i ask is because after several years freewheeling i might soon be attached, but i find the single life hard to leave.

    but when you chat to people, and as i have experienced myself after several yrs in a relationship here with a thai, it can be a curse to have a gf in a city like bkk where there are so many women available just for fun. i mean if you can get with so many women, and a variety of them with no complications why opt for just one?

    of course there is the baby issue.

    I spent the first 13 years here mostly single and the last 8 years married.

    It scares the fvck out of me to think about being single again and playing the dating game.

    If your lucky enough to find a good lady here hang onto her.

    Got to be the single route, marriage is harsh on a man, be sure to rake care of that baby though.

    I am getting married in less than 3 weeks!

    I told a friend I was going to LOS next year, he said going to thailand with your wife is like taking sand to the beach!


    good luck man!

    Same here and I also have the same sentiment... Much like hitting your thumb with a hammer, it's not something you want to repeat too often...

    If you still feel the need to play around, you haven't found the right woman.

    It's good to be single in Thailand (for a while)- then it's good to settle down.

    Some people find that these two options aren't mutually exclusive

    I have found being married to be 100% perfect. There is no one on the planet that is perfect, but you can find the "perfect" one for you. When you do, everything falls into place. I ageee with Marmite and must have found the right gal - I have no desire to play around.

    I could easily be in agreement with Marmers and Chi. Simply well commented.

    Seems that we do have something in common then.

    And I have never seen a single man be more married and pussy whipped in Thailand.

    Do not forget your lapdog pillow to kneel on your next visit.

    Yep, you like me have been very lucky mate. Rare to find two ladies with such bad taste.

    Well when I was single here it was either shagging bar-girls which was relatively uncomplicated but meaningless or dating the local non-bar girls which was complicated and sometimes more meaningless.

    I would hate to have to come home from work, shower, shave and dress and have to go out on the prowl again.

    Suits some for sure and I did enjoy doing just that for at least a decade but all of a sudden it just hits you smack in the face that it is a farce and an expensive one at that.

    You can just call your favourite bitch and have her sucking your dick in the comfort of your house.

    that is the one that having emptied your wallet prevents you to keep playing around.

    sorry should have explained, i have no baby now but at some point in the near future will expect to have 1 or 2 and for that of course i need a mother so have to get attached at some point. it's just making that step to get attached, it's a hell of a loss of freedom.

    I have to say dating in Bangkok is very easy these days with all these social networking/dating sites, absolutely full of gorgeous women and a surprising amount of them are up for non complicated casual fun.

    you can line them up from the comfort of your own home.

    I think the only thing The Midget found in Marmite's wallet when they first got together was mothballs. Definitely a relationship built on lust.

    Spot on LT and nice work.

    The guys that have managed to find a real nice Thai girl and are in long term relationships are light years away from the bar crawlers hoe mongers for friggin shore.
