I don't know how many will admit it but I think deep down we are all looking for a 'Soul Mate' ?
Or maybe I'm just being Romantic ?
I don't think so. IMHO love is a three part equation. Falling in love, being in love is easy for two people to do. Staying in love is the hard part. With a Asian women we run into the language and culture barrier and the disproportionate levels of economic wealth. For some of us the difference in ages plays a big part in all of this.
The essence of staying in love is communication, caring and when you can barely speak to your partner and your shared experiences are so limited along with the different way she thinks and reacts compared to the way women in your home country thinks. I'm surprised any marriage works long term.

When you live and work in Bangkok, you may not be so suprised. I know many happy long term marriages with happy children. Not every bloke spends his time whoring. Too many judge by their own standards....not a criticism, miind you...but a fact.
I can think of 8 long term farang / Thai marriages in the UK, the only marriage I have ever known that broke up was purely the fault of the guy, even he'd admiit that. She is now happily remarried.
Thai women are not so different, but Thai bar girls are.

Falling in love with a non-p4p, "good" Thai girl and ending up with a long and stable relationship - YES! falling in love with a p4p girl and ending up with a broken heart, lighter wallet and permanant cynicism - Guarantee !

I think the last two entries were head on the nail! Have both my own and friends experiences to relay to and the thing to stay away from (longterm) are bargirls. Never try to mix oil and water..... (ok - I know that will get some keyboards klicking, so just let it out!)
To everyone: stay well and be happy, whatever you do!

How about falling in love with a "part-time" p4p gal like, say, a uni student who freelances at CM2 or Siam Hotel...?

I'll have to have words with your Rabbi ?
Good luck, Comrade Clueless.

I think we are dealing with a culture that is very money orientated. The 'West' is more that way too now! I am sure it never used to be.
Whatever happened to altruism and doing things purely for the sake of it?
You're very funny, or naive, or both.

hzink Mr 'Know-it all' (The expert after three visits to LOS)
If you can actually manage to read the postings that precede yours you might get away from your narrow minded bigotry.
You ARE one sad f_ck !
Stevie Wonder wrote and sang a song about you Harry:-
He's a man
With a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Playin' hard
Talkin' fast
Makin' sure that he won't be the last
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Makes a deal
With a smile
Knowin' all the time that his lie's a mile
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Must be seen
There's no doubt
He's the coolest one with the biggest mouth
He's Misstra Know-It-All
If you tell him he's livin' fast
He will say what do you know
If you had my kind of cash
You'd have more than one place to go oh
Oou... oou... oou oou... oou...
Any place
He will play
His only concern is how much you'll pay
He's Misstra Know-It-All
If he shakes
On a bet
He's the kind of dude that won't pay his debt
He's Misstra Know-It-All
When you say that he's livin wrong
He'll tell you he knows he's livin' right
And you'd be a stronger man
If you took Misstra Know-lt-All's advice oh oh
oou... oou... oou oou... oou...
He's the man
With a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Take my work
Please beware
Of a man that just don't give a care no
He's Misstra Know-It-All (Look out he's coming)
Dum bum bum ba bum bum,
Dum bum bum ba bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum Say
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Can this line
Take his hand
Take your hat off to the man who's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Every boy take your hand
To the man that's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
That you know he's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
Don't you know darn well he's got the super plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
You know damn well he's got the super plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
If we had less of him
Don't you know we'd have a better land
He's Misstra Know-It-All

The words of this song have meant a lot to me.
When I feel like this though I find my brain switched off and my heart writing the script.
It's true what they say, "Don't check your brains in at Don Muang arrivals lounge !"
A Love Before Time
if the sky opened up for me
and the mountains disappeared
if the seas ran dry, turned to dust
and the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way
by the light I see in your eyes
the world I know fades away
but you stay
[as the earth reclaims its due]
[and the cycle starts anew]
[we'll stay, always]
in the love that we have shared before time
if the years take away
every memory that I have
I would still know the way
that would lead me back to your side
the north star may die
but the light that I see in your eyes
will burn there always
lit by the love we have shared before time
[when the forest turns to jade]
[and the stories that we've made]
[dissolve away]
one shining light will still remain
[when we shed our earthly skin]
[and when our real life begins]
[there'll be no shame]
just the love that we have made before time
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Alrighty, I'll check in on this topic.
I have "fallen in love" with a girl I met in Nana disco. She is a Kasetsart uni grad who was working in an office during the day and freelancing at night. She has studied English intensively, and speaks, reads and writes it quite well.
After spending about 10 days together on my first visit to LOS, we kept in touch through emails and I returned to see her a month later. Since then I've been back two more times; of course, most frequent BTF readers are quite familiar with the saga of her recent visit to the UK with the Welchman.
(if not, here's the link: http://64.246.32.93/bkkx.com/cgi-bin/forum/topic.cgi?forum=22&topic=885&start=30 )
After her return from Wales we spent three weeks together 24/7, and in about a week I'm going back to Thailand to stay indefinitely (with a 2 entry, 60 day tourist visa and an open return on my flight) so we can see if there's any real future for us.
I've been upcountry and met the whole family, and there is now some pressure to marry. There are no bargirls in her family... all her friends and young cousins back home are university students or grads. Unless I sneak around, no way can I get any stray p_ssy; she is not the sharing type.
She isn't working now, just taking some computer classes like graphic design and website creation, but she's expressed a desire to have a "regular" job at some point. I put 40K baht in a joint bank account almost 3 months ago and there is still about 30K there, which I consider a good sign. She has never asked me for a satang; everything I've ever given her (which isn't very much) has been my idea, and there's never been any hint of a sick buffalo, an accident-prone brother, or even a lost cellphone.
Clearly I will be expected to support her, but she is quite content with a modest lifestyle, and actually seems to be on the thrifty side when it comes to living expenses.
The story is far from over - anything could happen, and nothing would surprise me - but it seems that she really doesn't want to return to a life of prostitution, and would be extremely happy to settle down to a normal life with a farang who loves her and treats her well.
At this point it seems we are both "in love" and share quite a few common interests... then again I'm not fat, bald, drunk, poor, or 20 years her senior, so this rosy scenario should not be all that difficult to imagine.
Anyway, that's my story as of 22 Sept.
