    Hi Peter. I had a lucky escape 2 years ago. It's unbelievable when flying to Thailand. Common sense gets left in a safe deposit box in BKK. The girl I fell in love with was the sweetest girl on the planet. Then I woke up. The coffee smelt so good. My advice to all men visiting Thailand is talk to your best friend honestly and openly

    I knew a 70yo pensioner who had only been coming to Thailand for a couple years and still very naive, having a good time in Pattaya then met a lady in her late 40s or so she said. Within a year he went up the village, built a house, spent most of his savings, she controlled every aspect of his life and isolated him from his friends. He too fell ill, not sure what happened to him in the end, but whatever the ending she has a house and more money in the bank.
    Whenever they try to turn your friends against you or isolate you from them its a bad sign.

      it can be hard to live in rural isaan.....tough on the physical side.. the extreme heat can get u if u are 70 + and in not a good overall condition....another thing is the social aspect...if u not fluent w. the language and for every little thing at the mercy of ur wife u pretty much isolated...maybe u are a city guy like the guy in the story...if ur wife is a ex hooker or similar who want to take advantage of u whenever possible...trampling on your love ....all these combined carry the potential to shorten your life significant

    Hi Peter before you even mentioned the backdrop in this segment I recognised it right away, The Erawan National park is a must visit place in Kanchanaburi, we spent 2 nights on a river raft on the River Kwai in November 2012, a lot of places to visit, Hellfire pass, the Jeath museum, the Kanchanburi war cemetery, I have a relative buried there and of course the bridge over the river Kwai.

I have to agree with you not all Thai ladies are like Non, certainly not my Thai wife, I think when theres a big age gap this is part and parcel that the relationship does not work. My Thai wife and i believe it or not we were both born on the same day one year apart, I'm 61 and shes 60, we have been together since 2014

    I refuse to comment about the relationship as I was not there but if something smells of crap, it generally is, but he just run with the punches and commend him for his integrity.
    He sounds like a great guy that got put into the mincer.

First time I went to Bangkok was when my now wife went back to visit family on my 5th visit to Thailand In November 2012 always flew Melbourne to Phuket direct or via Singapore.

    I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Phil’s company and now he’s not around how much I miss him. He was such a lovey bloke who always found time for me. Perhaps his friendly nature, generosity and kindness was his downfall in the end. The lady in question clearly took advantage of him and it’s all so very sad. I’m glad you included your epilogue as it’s important to note it’s difficult enough with all the cultural differences and language barriers for an Englishman (as on this occasion) to find true love in Thailand , without throwing a bar girl into the equation. 17 years ago I was lucky enough to have met the most wonderful, caring, well educated and generous Thai lady and we are still together to this day. I only say this to emphasise the point not all Thai ladies behave like Phil’s wife. Phil was a great bloke who, as the author stated, just had a bad throw of the dice. RIP my old buddy.

    A guy in a bar in pattaya gave me some advice he said would you buy a woman back
    home a house , a car so why do it in Thailand.
    And I remember guys telling me go to the village's to find a good woman well 60 % of
    them are ex bar girls and they other 40% have been told what to do.
    We think we can change them well never they are controlled by family and there thinking
    is tribunal ( no insult intended).

One look at the child and you know that the child's not his. At the Opera Hotel (which is closed now 😩 ) would see many old men there around the pool drinking beer holding children My wife and I felt sorry but not in a bad way for these men They just seamed so lonely But the great news we both obtained are covid-19 vaccine and going back sometime this year.

    • @ThailandBound

      The thing is you feel sorry for these guys but if they have been divorced or just single and have been lonely for a number of years they are happy to take on someone else’s child just to have the enjoyment of belonging to a family. If you fall in love with somebody you can’t tell them you want to be with them but you are not prepared to take on the child, the girl would run a mile and quite rightly so. I don’t see the difference between these guys and other guys who do exactly the same with woman form their own countries.

I think their chances or even wish to get married to a Thai man are low.. many Thai men will have nothing to do with a child that is not theirs. Why even get married ? many slightly older Thai women have a nice house anyway (and possibly a car as well) - nearly all such women I know have a property. I am aware of the behavior of some Thai men at 14 minutes in this video and often just demonstrates how desperate slightly older Thai women are for a man in their life - but I think most give up and have nothing to do with a Thai man. I do think Thai women warm to be treated with respect and understanding and there is no need to be an ATM - but my experience is all outside of the tourist regions or the ex-pat regions in other Thai cities. My experience is that like women world wide, they want someone who is genuine and kind. Thai women are simply the best.. shame the Thai government was not the same... but please, make an effort to understand Thai culture.... things are not always as they appear - "face" (image) is really important as is respect for older people (but don't abuse it)... and most of my time in spent in NE Thailand... and they are not all poor and desperate by any means (I have a lovely friend who is a university lecturer and has a really nice house - she looks at least 20 years younger that her chronological age) ... if you are in Thailand and see lots of other White faces, you are not in real Thailand.. younger Thai women do have "value" for their family, if she is young, attractive, educated and definitely no children - if you fall for a girl like this, expect to pay big time one way or another - hence my reference to older divorced with a child... I am 67...

      @@ThailandBound there might have been a couple who were very obvious - there are also a few who were in the game at one time and might still go to Pattaya if they are short of money, but these are still nice people - you don't have to live with every girl you meet or have sex with every girl you meet although I suspect many men do or want to.. there is also some older women (40s), like the divorced with one child, who have another western boyfriend (maybe some might have more than one - I would not tell them not to) overseas who visit very occasionally, so I keep a low profile as I really hope something works out for these girls as they are lovely and just trying to survive.... I don't know why guys make such hard work of it... I have an amazing 4 year old daughter in Cambodia (she can speak 3 languages which is fortunate because I cannot speak Khmer), her mother is a Colonel in the Cambodian police = own income (I was her first bf and that was pretty obvious) and does not ask me for anything - except she wanted a European father for a child as she would not go near a Khmer guy (not the first who has asked), something I can well understand - their family has 2 small farms which I can play with. I have another place I can call home in Udon, where I am treated like one of the family - they never ask for anything.... just don't how much better could I be treated ? I have had Thai 2 girls visit me in New Zealand, one twice and we went all over NZ by motorcycle (7,400 kms)... she was just drop dead gorgeous and it was funny to watch the reaction of Kiwi young guys.. now she was the "high value" one and if I had married her, which she would have welcomed, I would be back in NZ now and broke - her mother was the problem so I told her to marry the Thai guy her mother wanted her to marry - and her mother still gave him grief (I have offered her advice of what she needs to do). We are still in contact not that her husband will know. and this is hardly the half of it.. I am still a free agent, then there is the Philippines another story... it's not difficult if you are prepared to adapt and make an effort to learn..... now when I get near a western type girl (including a Colombian Doctor who stayed with me for a week in NZ - dark like most Asians) , they are just a sick joke, they expect you to chase after them and they funniest thing of all, mention SE Asia and they never talk to you again - I wonder why ? don't know which dating apps you are using ? the one I mainly have used, the only issue are the many (non Asian) scammers which are so obvious, yet I see they end up with some dumb western male "friends".. some people are just brain dead...

      Oh for sure I agree, I am not saying “Most girls on the apps are hookers” but what I am saying is “Don’t assume that they have never been or are not currently just because they are on an app and not hanging off a pole.”

    • @milesinnz
      @milesinnz 3 роки тому

      @@ThailandBound I am not sure what age range you are talking about... I think just because a western guy can "get" a much younger girl, it's the best thing to do.. and I would put that as a retired or close to retired western guy who goes for a 20s girl - you really are asking for trouble unless she is upper 20s, with a child and divorced, then maybe.. I think these guys get into trouble because they bring their western attitudes with them and refuse to make an effort to learn about Thai culture. The family I stay with in Udon, we laugh at the British idiot who married the daughter of a neighbor.. he really loses the plot and we speculate how he will get on in a Thai jail - because that is where his attitude will be taking him - he won't even realise that everyone is laughing at him - I wonder how many western men have an anger problem ? You can meet these guys and just know this is not going to work. I went to a traditional Thai wedding, and Aussie who had known her for only a few months - she had been married before and had children - I shook my head, the wedding must have cost a fortune. I heard it only lasted a few months. His best man was Welsh, and he was retired with a 20's girl friend with one child.. I heard he married her and then that did not last. I spent a year helping a friend though the family courts here in NZ, he married a young Spanish girl, had 2 children with her, and as soon as she had been in NZ long enough to get residency, she accused him of being violent and hence the court (and moved out into a family violence refuge - she gets all the government support).. we sorted all that out, but most guys cannot... this is such a common thing now... marrying these sorts of girls from any country and taking them back to your country is always asking for trouble. So my recommendation, is find a girl on a dating app, maybe 3, talk to them for a long time. Now, lot of girls I speak to about these dating apps, they say the guys soon ask for revealing photos - well she will hang on because she is desperate - but if he thinks she will ever fall for him now, forget it... I always ask about her family, her children.. and when I have got to meet these girls, there is never any trouble of heading straight for the bedroom.. I think most men refuse to make any changes to adapt to the new situation they are in. But I know some older guys who have done very well and are extremely happy. Also, say a 30 or 40s girl who might have been a working girl, they do this as they often see it as the only way they can support their family. They try as hard as they can in their own way.. so tell me, why does this make them a lessor person ?... if a guy decides to hand money over, then that is his choice - try saying no, or be very limited in what you hand over.. the other problem is that people in these sorts of countries seem to think that in western countries, the streets are paved with gold. I take some time to explain this is not the case and point out they only see the western people who can afford to get to their country. There would be lots who would love to spend time in an Asian country but simple they don't have the money... I can add, that I met this UK guy when I was motorcycling in NZ with my Thai girlfriend. I suggested he try Thailand. He even met a friend of mine there, and he gave me all the BS about how he would be "nice" to her and I even arranged for my friend in Udon (he would have no romantic chance there) to take care of him, hotel and all that. He then promptly ran off with one of her girls friends and stayed all the time in the Hotel with her. The first girl friend, when I met up with her again, she told me how angry he was and she told me she was in tears sometime. Now the give away was, that in the UK the nuclear power station he worked for, they closed, and he got a pay off etc etc... his wife then ran off with some guy she had been seeing for years, and hence his first real overseas trip to NZ... these people obviously have a whole pile of personality issues... which then they take with them where ever they go... they need to get their heads straight before they go...

He knew the warning signs, but bless him all he wanted was for some to be there when needed. such a shame she wasn't there for him. But at least her brother was a decent man and done what he could. This is not the norm, most Thai women are amazing caring and their family will welcome you . Even sometimes the bar girl romance will work out but you need to be so carful read the signs. Sad story but well worth telling Peter.

All the same I had to smile that he still exerted control until towards the end, kept her 'wings clipped' over that card and showed her the liar she was by outing her lies over the first pregnancy. Well done Phil, you've earned your beer. And let's now hope the widow receives her karma in full. Engrossing story Peter.

    Pretty brutal story but absolutely no surprise the journey and final outcome. It's funny the timing, I was reading an article just the other day with bar girls who did anonymous interviews about their work. The theme all too common. Contempt for the older farangs who seek their company. One girl said the best case scenario for them is to marry an old farang and have a Thai man on the side. Thai women, in general, prefer their own. It's a cultural thing and that's the way it is. There are some exceptions of course, and good on the ones who truly care about each other. Just don't expect great things or genuine romance from bar girls generally speaking. The saddest part is, despite knowing that, guys still fall for the trap anyway. Good story Peter.

    The devil is in the details...very good story. Her being a devil and with a make believe Thai husband hanging one step back brings to mind a friend who was with a bar girl that was chatting lively on her cell phone (when mobiles were very new.) When business was over and they where lying there, the door knob of the door started to shake and rattle similar to like if you locked the door lock and your key would not work. My friend started to get out of bed and check out the person trying to get in ( or testing the door?) His BF girl grabs his arm and said to not move. Later the next morning and a bit of thought about the earlier cell call the BF had had that it was the girl's husband who was trying to enter the room. The BF lady admitted as much after a few well pointed questions. The Bar Girl girl had a loose marriage to some thai guy and he was making sure she was earning her keep. Scary stuff .........Your story that you describe, Peter, makes sense now.

    I don't get it, Thailand is 95% Buddhist. Like you said not all Thai women treat men in such a terrible way but I have heard enough stories over the years to verify that it happens quite often. For such a religious country you would think that they would have some conviction.....

Been the fact that the bar girls, bar fines,ect is pretty much the same in this countries, they all copy cats of each other, same mentality same games people play..lol
    However I am sure that that may be some twist, and turns from country to country small stories. This will always help others expats in other Asian cities to learn the game and how is play and who knows you may guet also some more happy ending stories! I must admit I enjoy the lesson to learn the best! Just a suggestion my friend😉🍻

    it's important to realize that a farang's life is worth less than a thai's. and wealth in this life is most important in the next life so any means to an end is a holy thing, including murder. even if you have a kid with a thai, she controls everything in that child's life. and so the cycle repeats. buy two condos, rent one out, use that to build a healthcare system for you in ur old age; never share what you can't easily replace. stay out of bars, find a church, and there u'll find true friends. have friends in malaysia where even muslims won't do you like thais. have a job. consult. travel alone. all bank accts are secret. spread them out from country to country. hide everything from her. finally, even if ur sure she's not like the others, do all of the above anyway. in the end as an expat, ur alone. get tough and go out alone. u can do it if you have genuine faith.

      HOW STUPID ARE THESE GUYS? MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS QUESTION: Loneliness, depression, a feeling of rejection, a messy divorce, mental health issues, and a lack of communication skills, no self esteem, a lack of judgment and a lack of confidence; the list goes on and on. Many guys do not go into bars to find love and live happily ever after with their one in a million good bar-girl. They find that they are in the company of a pretty, young girl who showers them with affection and the girl seems to take a genuine interest in them which gives them a feeling of temporary happiness and total blindness to the real situation in front of them. The bar-girls are charming, cunning and good at what they do (They have years of practice and 100’s of victims) it is so, so easy for these kinds of guys to be sucked into a situation they did not plan and end up on a down would spiral with no hope of return. It is always easier to Judge rather than to understand and not all people should be painted with the same “Stupid” brush.
