Where to meet "nice" farang in Bangkok?? Help please....?

Question

I'm Thai girl, well educated who love to speak English. I have no idea where and how to meet nice farang in BKK? I saw many of them at BTS, subway and on the street but too shy to make a first move talking with them. Clubs or bars are not too good to make a new relationship, don't you think??

Answer 1

I do agree with the opinions with the posters on what you should be doing to uphold the good image of a Thai lady. You can always look for a job in a multinational company who will need local with good English to serve on their staff. Maybe you can look for a job that your educational level can provide with in such company. Then you will find many opportunities to speak English, may be not just with farangs but also locals who can speak English too.

If you are looking for a relationship, then try the dating sites. Then again be cautious of pretenders on the net. There just are too many "easy" Thai ladies who tarnish the image of the Thai woman. So you need to be careful not to fall into this category/.

If you believe in fate, your turn will come one day. Do not rush it.

Take care.

Answer 2

There are always chat rooms on the net where not all farangs are interested in things that occur below the waistline. There are a lot of good westerners who would be pleased to meet and speak with you without sex coming into the conversation.

Clubs and bars are not the best places in the world to meet people but consider talking to someone you may see in the supermarket or a department store. You do not have to give out any personal information and still speak English too.

If your spoken English is as good as your written, why not seek out a position as an interpreter? You can speak to farang, use your English and get paid to do so.

Good luck!

Be very careful if you attempt to create a relationship with farang men. Many of them are not 'very good' here. I am a farang woman. I've lived here for almost 4 years and almost all my farang female friends and many of my farang male friends, say that at least 70% of the farang men that come to Thailand are the WORST examples of farang men. I speak to very few farang men here - as many of them are alcholics, they smoke, they don't work responsibly, they teach but they are not good with Thai children, and are only interested in sex with Thai women etc.

If you are a 'good' Thai girl, I think you should only speak to men you meet in a nice situation - either through friends or at something like an art gallery opening, book club, at a nice restaurant or social event etc. Listen to what your male Thai friends tell you and continue to be a good Thai girl, so that you can help uphold the image of Thai women..

If you are interested in friendships with farang women there are several book clubs or writing clubs that meet every month in Bangkok, which could be a good place for you to make some friends. Some of them also have Thai women as members, and they would be great places for you to practice your English. If you want more information about a new small book exchange club for women, send me an e-mail and I'll be more than happy to give you the information.

Most of the farang women I have met here are very nice and always happy to make friends with Thai women.

Chock dii :-)

It does not matter where you meet farang men, you will have to learn about them. Yes, a club or bar is not the best place and usually they are only visiting.

I saw the comment about working at a multinational company or at least work in the building that houses multinational companies, like the 4 seasons mall. Or try to work as a translator. Here you can work closely with farang. Or as a contract typist.

The onlines site are not much better but, you can keep them at arms length and not worry about being followed home. You can meet people on MySpace.com or WAYN.com or others. Then the singles websites per the website below.

Again be careful, talk or email for a while. Meet in a public place.

Good luck

Answer 5

Well, lots of good advice above.. I am a farang man, with a Thai wife - - there are many cultural differences to overcome in this type of relationship. We are both easy going but I think we both needed time to understand "ways" that were not our own. We met through an introduction from a friend. This is best but not easy. I am often asked by Thai ladies if I have friends.. I agree with the above statement that 70% of the farang that I meet here are of the worst temperment.. And for many of the Thai ladies that I meet, I tell them that if they were in my home country, they would have a line outside the door.. but that is not the reality here... I would add to the suggestions above that you might want to work in an internet cafe in a tourist area or a book store.. but good luck and please - - eyes wide open --

Answer 6

The Pridi Library at Thammasat University (all Thai nationals can go in/become members - a one-day pass is Baht 20, I believe) - the lowest floor is where the books in English are and therefore where you are most likely to find a farang reading one.

Go up to your 'target' and say that you need help to find a book but beacuse its in English it hard for you to read the title and would he mind to help you? Any nice person will always be happy to help another person find a book. Then you are talking and then its up to you to keep the conversation going for a few minutes - asking questions being the generally acceptable way (in English) of doing this (I know Thai people don't like asking a lot of questions, I understand why Thai people are like that, but in this situation you have to ask lots of questions to get things started).

Remember, you are not the only one who might be shy. Farangs who live in Thailand are sometimes a bit shy of contact with Thai people they do not know. They probably have had some bad experiences of low-class Thai people gossipping them in the street or in shops. Therefore, your 'target' might be a bit shy of you to start with, but when you talk in an educated way then I suspect there will be no problem.

Answer 7

Why you look for good farangs at BTS, Bus stop or on the street? It's nonsense to make friends with people at bus stop, don't you think so?

Farangs are not much different from Thai or asian people, good farangs may easily find where you can find good Thai, not at the pub, or entertainment complex, where people look for fun and somthing not right for ladies.

If you are well educated Thai, you may easily practice your english at business office rather than on the street. You may volunteer to work for charity at some of the international organization or TAT.

It would not be appropriate for Thai lady to approach guys especially farangs on the street as it's not a Thai culture (if you're real Thai, you may have learned in the school or at home).

Go work in the multinational companies where you'll have more chance to deal/work with colleagues at its other affiliates in asia, europe or USA..

Please care the Thai lady's reputation.

Answer 8

hi I am an american girl living in bangkok. My husband is thai. I understand what you are going through, it's not only thai girls who feel weird to make the first move.

um..well my dad is here and he is always lokoing for a nice girl...and you are right, night clubs aren't really a great place to find true romance...or whatever.

but my dad has the same troubel when it comes to women, where is the best place to look for a good girl?
and he's still looking..haha

Answer 9

why u want to make a relationship with "farang?"

if your answer is only to practice english,well let try to find a job or any international volunteer job. then u can speak enlish nearly everyday.

or maybe travel to some islands in thailand or somewhere around the world (if u have a big pocket enough to support that.),stay in the guest house as a backpacker. then try to make friend with some foriener there but in the friend way.


but if u wanna have a relationship with "farang" especially farang guy 'cause u want a romance things. i think u should becareful and take time for very very deep relationship. don't rush for this kind of relationship.

we are thai girl-there is the tag on our shoulder as a sex image.

i'm really sick of this image.
there are many thai girls that very nice and act very proper,very conservative,but the world doesn't realize about this side of thai girls.
the world realize only the side that some easy and desperate thai girls show off for this sex image. that's very s..uc.k.

do u wanna be one of them that destroy the good side of thai girls?


i don't say that u can't not get along with the faran man. u can,if u want,it's your life.

the point is try to take time with the realationship,act yourself proper as a good knowledge thai girl should do.

but why u don't want to have a relationship with thai man?

Answer 10
