There's one born every minute
It’s true, there’s a sucker out there just waiting to be matched to a young Thai princess. The Land of Smiles is officially the last resting place of the hopeless and the failed, and I would probably go so far as to include myself in that generalization in some shape or form.
A report, in the Associated Press no less, had this to say in reference to the apparent surge in popularity Thai dating services have received:
“When John Thompson's second marriage plummeted into divorce, the 49-year-old Hawaiian graphic designer had doubts he would ever meet the right American woman.
“On an impulse, while vacationing in Thailand, he signed up with Sweet Singles, a company that promised unlimited introductions to eligible Thai women.
“A year later, he married a 23-year-old Thai factory worker who could barely speak English, which had forced him to bring along a dictionary on their dates.”
I don’t normally expect to see this kind of story from the Associated Press, and it isn’t anything new, but I thought it really did sum up something about Thailand and the multitude of odd couples that line the streets.
I just returned from Hua Hun. It’s a city where there are very few Thai people. It’s mostly washed up jellyfish, galloping horses, dead fish lining the seafront, fat white people and buxom bar girls. The beach is rather putrid and the city feels completely devoid of life.
There are plenty of bars though, and with bars there are bar girls, each hoping to meet a rich sucker.
Say all you want about Isaan girls and their neighbours, but they certainly are cunning. I don’t have a problem with them as such, but it does seem rather farcical that some lovers, as it were, put up this ‘coupley’ front as if to justify their actions amid a world of doubters.
“A 2005 research paper by Rattana Boonmathaya of Bangkok's Mahidol University focused on a village in northeastern Thailand where one-third of the 330 women aged 20 to 59 had chosen to marry a foreigner. Ninety-six percent of them had Swiss husbands,” again from the Associated Press today.
What is it about Swiss guys? I must have missed something there.
“Tai insisted her decision to marry Thompson had nothing to do with improving her finances.”
She sounds like a sweetheart. I only hope I will be so lucky as to meet someone as good as her. Who doesn’t speak English. And uses an online dating service.

If you cannot even have a proper conversation with someone without the help of a dictionary then why even bother to start the relationship in the first place?? It's already wrong from the start how can there be any future? I don't get it.
hey sorry to hear the ladyboy judge thing fell through.. could have been a future career move! Anyway, if you haven't seen it already, here's more evidence of the suckers you are talking about:

…aah true love. aint it sweet :-)
I have to tell you I just returned back to the states after spending 3 weeks in Thailand and I must say. I can see why people fall in love with Thai women. They are beautiful and have an innocence to them that I have not seen in many women. I'd be afraid taking them out of Thailand and bringing them to the states would westernize them too much and they would lose that spirit that they carry with them in Thailand. Plus my girlfriend wouldn't like it.
I lived in Thailand, I have worked there. I tell you Thai girls are crazy for farangs. Well uneducated look for a western man since that is her ticket to richness, so she thinks… and the well educated, they like to find a well educated farang that dont cheat, dont treat her bad or put her down. Some one to build a familly with… And yes, all are charming!
I've been coming and going to Thailand for the last 3 years, and spend 1.5 years living in the city of sin, Pattaya. Pretty much got caught in the nightlife there but never even thought about dating or getting a girlfriend with a bargirl, anyone that doesn't see through their complete bullshit has loser and personal ATM on his forehead. I've seen so much shit that bargirls pull, it's not even funny. Right from my first visit i've never been "charmed" by their charms as they just see to dumb to me. I just came back from another month Thailand staying in Bangkok and must say that everything has more than disappointing, nothing much has changed since my lasts visits beside an increase in price.
What happens is that farang losers, nobodies in their own land, come to Thailand, find a young girl to tell them their cute, handsome and sexy and believe it. Sure, she'll suck my cock at night for "free" she must love me really much. She must really find me attractive. Think again, these superstitious monkeys don't give a fuck about you or what you are. You're just another number, hoping to hit the jackpot. Remember, when you leave Thailand, they will be fucking the first next fat farang fuck in the Gogo bar you met her, you can take a girl out the bar, you cant take the bar out the girl.
Thai chicks are lazy, they'll lie to you to receive money for sick buffalo and their Thai boyfriends sengsom.
