Dude, forget it ..... and I have to be brutally honest here, get an HIV check.
Massive rates of STDs, including AIDS amongst prostitutes - YES, Prostitutes, not the better sounding bar girls.
Apart from that, way too many reliable stories about these girls having multiple serious
foreign boyfriends, milking the lot for every penny they'll send them.
I know a guy that married a Thai prostitute; she was always asking for money until it stopped flowing, then she flowed away to another man.
Sorry to be harsh, dude, but you'll be way better off out of it.
tarzan7 wrote:Hi I met or was picked up rather by a Thai bar girl in June. I have since spent about 8 weeks with her in Thailand on and off until now. I have read all the dos and don'ts but am still at my wits end. The girl is in her 30s. I was taken to see parents on 3 occasions now, she lives in a rural village. Since we decided to make the relationship a bit more permanent [she says I'm her boyfriend] she no longer goes to Pattaya. I know this because I Skype everyday and she is clearly in her farmhouse. Of course this doesn't mean she hasn't a Thai boyfriend. She says she wants us to be a long term relationship as the villagers have all 'seen me' and she doesn't want to be seen with multiple farang boyfriends. All the family seem very pleasant and treat me well. She recently attacked me [nothing major] as she said she had to 'stop me' as she believed I was looking at other girls in a bar. She also said I 'walked' away from her as yes when she became moody [too much drink] I thought she was going to hit me again in public. Is this normal Thai rationale? Any thoughts anybody?
Hi Tarzan
Welcome to ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº. Great first post. Sorry to say that in my opinion you are either very naive or a troll. If you are the latter then you will find this forum is not a good place for trolling.
If you are the former. Get a grip man, there are thousands of women here happy to hook up with a westerner and none of them work in a bar.
Do you really expect a bar girl to give up the trade when you are in your home country? Unless of course she is on a retainer from you and even then don't expect it to be exclusive. Plenty of "girls" have multiply overseas investors!
Sorry to be so blunt but its a fact of life.
Welcome to Thailand.
There is no reliable way to find what you call a genuine lady. Learn to walk whenever you meet one that triggers that gut feeling...this lady has problems. Remember you cannot change a persons normal behavior and you should never try because it will only cause problems down the road.
Tarzan you write your self, she have a problem with drinking, problem with attacked you and your all ready try to make up excuse for her doing so.
She still have contact with former "customer" like you, you can call your self boyfriend, but you are a "customer" nothing more, sorry to say so.
Her stories about her grandfather molested her and she own the king money MIGHT be true. but after hear same stories from +30 Bar girls, i am pretty sure it is BS.
Why she tell you this you think ?
It is because later on when she going to ask you for money to pay the money back from her school days (student loan)
You are going to help her out for sure...
Ofcause her family like you, they all so gambling that you going to fall in love with her, then support her with money, and therefor the family is get more money, So yes them all like you....
You write about using private investigator services, are you for real man ?
If you thinking about that, you know in you brain, the one in you head on your shoulder, not the other one, That this is not going to work.
Tarzan you er clear for me in over you head, and she setting you up, i have no doubt about that.
She have other foreigner man like you, i am sure of that.
Your are a "Customer" for her.
Sure i might be wrong, i don´t know everything.
But think about it mate.
Do you plan to support her to keep her out of the bar ?
Like send 20.000 - 50.000 baht pr month ?
Money for her apartment, power bill, internet, tv, food, cloth, money for fun, and money for her family.
It all run up fast !!!
If you can´t do that, and she don´t want to have "normal" work, where do you thinking she going to make her money then ?
And even so you pay this, she might still go work as Bar girl, Many of the girls like the live stile there and friends there.
Are you planing to move to Thailand and live here in the near future, if not, run away mate, and fast.
So many bar girls here have many "Boyfriend" like you, and think about if she have like 5-10 BF like you, all paying the same kind of money.
You can ofcause forget about us trying to warn you, and learn for you self (The hard way), but please don´t put more money into this, then you are okay by losing.
If you want to meet girls that don´t work in a bar, then get out of the bar mate, stop sitting on a bar waiting for her to come, That kind of girls don´t go to bar mate.
Stop drinking every day when you here (if you do that), never go around with a beer in you hand (not saying you do that)
And don´t smell of beer. Don´t dress like the guys at the bars.
No "normal" Thai girl want that from a foreigner man that might want to date.
If you still want to try make a live with her, then forget what i type mate. And good luck to you.
After 40+ years coming and going from Asia I have seen and heard this story many many times. Bail out and have nothing more to do with her.
Get out while you can!! Think about it? Do you want to live in a village where no one speaks your language? Of course her family was nice to you, ... you are the Mother Lode!! .. the bottomless ATM .... the answer to all their prayers!
I married a Thai girl, that I met in Bangkok. she was not a bar girl, but all they want is money, .. their companionship and body are for hire! I got sucked into a vortex of spirally costs building a house, ... on land owned by her family, (because foreigners can not own land) The house was supposed to cost 1.5 to 2 million baht and take 6 months to build. Two years and 7 million baht later, .. I was broke. As soon as you are broke, you have no use, ... like an empty tube of toothpaste.
Three weeks after the flow of cash dried up, she was cheating on me and running off with another farang. Guess how fast the family turned on me? I never spent a spent a single night in the house I built, but all my things were stored in it! They kept everything, ... even my clothes!
My wife was sweet and attentive for more than 2 years, ... your gf has already let her "Thai Girl becomes TIGER" attitude show! Run for the hills and be thankful you did not get any further involved!
you deserve all that you will get if you continue, ....
The former will get you clear of a bad situation, the latter will get you to the ATM until the cash runs out.
you WILL need a lawyer soon enough as you appear to be green to the Thai ways
DO NOT sign anything that you cannot read
DO NOT lend money no matter how bad the situation appears
DO NOT promise anything
DO NOT panic when they call the uncle as he's a policeman
You will get banged around and confused until you know the rules of the bar.
But have fun.
For a normal respectable Thai female, absolutely not, for a seasoned bar girl, yes definitely.
Other posters have been quite harsh, but they have presented the facts.
How much a month is it costing you for her to have stopped work?
Where in Thailand does she come from...... Isaan by any chance?
Good or bad
it is what it is
There are so many! Variety is the spice of life! Change girls like your underwear, ...daily!
tarzan7 wrote:The general consensus seems to be I'm wasting my time and money with this girl. So be it. Maybe I just go and use them for a leg over and try somewhere else for a serious relationship.
Not really - your chances of a nasty disease are far too high.
Apart from the moral issues, the numbers suggest you would be foolish to use prostitutes.
there seems to be some nice ones there
but in the end you will end up supporting kids or family or broken buffalo or or or
been here nearly 15 years
seen it all

Pattaya is not representative of Thailand.
If you do join Thaifriendly (recommended) be aware that any girls you see online in the early hours of the morning Thai time are likely to be "working" girls.
we do the legals though
of course I know many that are quiet happy in there relationships
however I always advise people whether they get offended or not about the way it is here
I try very hard to protect my clients in contract form
sometimes it works and sometimes not
I often wonder how it is that so many farangs are able to legally work in Thailand providing legal services given that it is a prohibited type of work under the Alien Employment Act?
Providing legal services or engaging in legal work, except arbitration work; and work relating to defense of cases at arbitration level, provided the law governing the dispute under consideration by the arbitrators is not Thai law, or it is a case where there is no need to apply for the enforcement of such arbitration award in Thailand.

I was very fortunate to find someone on a site called Dates in Asia. Once again you have to think like a thai girl. She is not rich, she has many relatives that need taking care of, and she has a very close attention to your wallet. There are lots of young ladies that are not bar girls; some have degrees, some have very good jobs, and some are honest about not wanting your money BUT they ALL want what any woman wants, SECURITY...and you have the forwith to give them that.Â
So my advice if it means anything; take your time. Get to know her; go visit her; and by all means DO NOT tell them you love them unless you are planning to make this a permanant relationship; and if you do go to this site remember you are just visiting and be ready to block some. Like I said, I got lucky but it took me at least 20-30 hello's before I met a really choice person. Good luck my friend; keep your hand on your wallet.
I have read most of all the comments wd full of good advices. You are this so serious in finding the right and good relationship to cherish. YOU really deserve to someone who can love sincerely and true to you in anyhow.
I am a woman and I think that is a perfect horrible action of a woman kind. Open your eyes wide and look down your heart what is really u are wanting to have life worth for.... have confidence that somehow the Ms. Right is simply just right here. Pray for Ms. Right...who knows.
good question and one that I can answer
1. The foreigner working in our office is the CEO and manages things, he is not a share holder nor is he a Director
2. He does not practice law ie appear in court as the lawyer
3. He does translation and deals with customers to help better understand and focus their problems then gives it to the staff that can legally do the work ie write the plaints and appear in court
4. He does act as the Executor of living and last wills and appears in court to give testimony and swears oaths
5. He does have a work permit and the work is approved by the Labour Department
6. He does have an extension of stay from Immigration
7. He is attached to a company registered at the DBD
8. The company pays for 4 Thai staff and their social security
9. The company pays tax and does their accounts once a month
10. A certified accountant does the accounts and the foreigner pays tax once a month
11. He does advertising and answers enquiries
So I hope this answers your questions
thanks
Pattaya is sin city
but with 1 million people in the Chonburi district you get the good and the bad
lets say there are 50000 girls working the bars etc
what do the rest do?
work in Lotus, big C, restaurants, hotels, tours, office etc etc.
So one cant say that there all bad girls - most do it because they're poor and need to send money back home to feed the tribe - this you must accept as reality. A good night on the town is a months feeding for the poor Thai's
However, a seasoned bar girl knows all the tricks and how to extract money from you and can work you out in 5 sentences.
So if you hang out in a bar with seasoned bar girls then this is what you will end up with. Its called the white knight syndrome where the foreigner wants to save this girl from this bar life.
Many guys pay for the girl to stay away from the bar and as soon as they return to their country the girls are back on the bar stool happily looking for a new sponsor and all the while accepting your money that you're sending them to stay out of the bar. She might have 5 or more sponsors and so good bucks.
There are plenty of places to meet nice women. There are teachers, government workers, police and service women, nurses etc. So change your hunting ground and you may find better quality.

thanks
