I recently started a relationship with a 47-year-old Thai woman. We have only known each other for a short time, but all kinds of dark stories are circulating about finances both towards Thailand (family). They would mainly live with an older man or marry for financial reasons. I am 63 years old and still very sporty and very active. The stories have made me very insecure about this relationship. Can you clarify something for me on this?
Reader question: I am looking for a relationship with a single Thai woman in the Netherlands
I had met a nice Thai woman through a dating site. Months of good contact with each other via Skype and finally visited her in Thailand. Two weeks very nice together and also met her family, everything seemed to go very well. She wanted to build a future in the Netherlands with me and made agreements for that. When she returned home to the Netherlands, however, I received the message that she decided against moving to the Netherlands because her family was against it.
A friend is the best medicine
My girlfriend is, in my opinion, an awfully precise type and I myself get the title 'sloddervos' from her quite regularly. In my experience I am not that at all, but I just work a lot faster and can make decisions quickly.
What's better than a Thai woman…? Two Thai women!
After photos of a Bangkok man, Manop Nuttayothin, 42, who has two beautiful wives, garnered attention on social media over the past week, the trio – and their nine children – have given numerous interviews to share their secrets to having a happy marriage in Thailand.
I met a woman from Isaan. She is 34 years old and has two children aged 11 and 5. She worked in Bangkok and hardly earned anything there. I want her to be with her family and have decided to help her financially. She also wants to stay with her children in her village in Isaan. Who can help me determine what a reasonable monthly contribution is on my part. I am thinking about 18.000 baht. Is that enough or not?
A “different” girl from the Isaan
Well, how many clichés have already appeared on this blog about the girls from the Isaan? The ladies from this area, ravaged by poverty, lack of work, and bad experiences with Thai men, come to Pattaya to get a farang (with money).
My wife sometimes worries about the fact that I always get my hair cut by women in the Netherlands. After all, it is now the hair salon where I have been coming for years (more than 10 years, since moving) so I do not intend to change this. Simply given that I demand trust in this as nothing else takes place other than my hair, sometimes yes, sometimes no, being washed and cut as standard. After all, I don't like the sound of clippers!
I would like to meet a Thai woman who already lives in the Netherlands. Do you know how I can best handle that?
I had a Thai wife but sadly passed away.
I have been acquainted with a Thai woman since 2015. She is 43 and I am 67 years old. She lives in Thailand and I live in the Netherlands. We want to live together but the problem is true? I would rather not go to Thailand. I have children and grandchildren and therefore find Thailand too far away. She also has family in Thailand and I'm afraid she can't get used to the Netherlands and will get homesick. I don't like going back and forth between the Netherlands and Thailand. I don't like flying and it's all too expensive. How have others done this?
Although it is not about a Thai person, it is still a remarkable message that the reaction wants to share with the readers of Thailandblog, because it is about a significant age difference between a Western man and an Eastern woman. And that is something that sometimes occurs in Thailand.
Reader submission: Thailand where is that? (the sequel)
In February of this year I wrote a story in 10 daily parts about how I ended up in Thailand, what I went through, how I got into a steady relationship and how I actually protect myself.
We have a very sweet daughter-in-law to be, but she lives almost on the other side of the world in Chiang Rai (Thailand). Our son (24) was on holiday in Thailand for a month in 2016 and there was more than just a holiday romance. The couple really love each other and want to continue together.
Reader Question: How can I meet Thai women?
I would like to meet a Thai woman. Now I don't like dating sites and going to a bar is not my preference either. I am 56 years old and single and am leaving for Thailand in a few months for a 4 week holiday. Who has a good tip for me to get cash with Thai women? Just addressing someone on the street is not my thing either.
Talpa TV productions is looking for single expats
For a new format, Talpa is looking for Dutch people who live abroad for a long time. Love is universal, but it turns out to be more difficult for expats to find a Dutch partner.
Previously (Netherlands) Now (Thailand) which is better?
In the past in the Netherlands, if there was a problem (quarrel) it had to be spoken about, talked about and made up for, then it was OK again (preferably a bunch of flowers had to be added). Now: if a problem arises (quarrel) I think, let it blow, that's the cultural difference, so don't worry about it. Overcome your own anger as quickly as possible and everything will be OK again tomorrow!
Reader Submission: Living with a Thai woman and trying to integrate into their way of thinking
I want to write something about what I have experienced from there and what I wanted to share with the people who want to come and live here, Thailand, permanently or for the most part. It's about living with a Thai woman and you try to integrate into their way of thinking and they partly accept your way of thinking with a lot of falling, especially a lot of falling, and finally getting up... hopefully it will help someone, I'm not the best writer, but I do my best.
