Hi Jenny,
I don't live in Lampang but know a really nice man who runs a fantastic project for homeless children there. I'll pm you the details. Oops, just realised it's in Lamphun, not Lampang..not too far perhaps?

About Me
I'm a member of Soka Gakkai International, a movement founded upon the philosophy and practice of the Nichiren School of Mahayana Buddhism.
Based upon the Lotus Sutra, Nichiren taught that all life inherently contains the potential of the buddha state which exists eternally and manifests as compassion, courage, wisdom and life-force.
As we chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, the buddha state emerges from within, enabling us to draw on limitless inner resources and thereby actively contribute to a creative and peaceful society. From Japanese, Soka Gakkai means school of value creation, this is activated through natural laws, just like the laws of physics.

In Topic: Why Did You Decide To Leave Thailand?

I lived in the UK for over ten years and although I struggled financially in the beginning I had a fantastic time learning about so many different cultures and discovering my true potential. Then I decided to leave to push myself further, travel a bit and learn more about the world around me.
Thailand has been incredibly welcoming that I decided to stay for a while. It's been over 8 years now and I'm still enjoying it despite the challenges that life throws at us wherever we are in the world.
One thing that is leaving me baffled each time is when I come across western expats (who have enough money and freedom to make a move at any time) who hate the Thais and their culture with so much passion, I just cannot understand why they are here if they don't like it.

Ave - thanks for sharing
yes there were a bit more men than there were women...but not overly so
the problem for me is not that they paid me attention (Im a woman, sure I enjoy the attention), or even a bit of flirting.......the problem and the shock is when they are directly suggest more than that. to someone they have just met, spoken to for such a short time, and someone they meet in a semi work environment. with more than half of them being married is even more so shocking
one of them was so direct to the point of being vulgar. i didnt wait to find out whether hes married or not! couldnt wait to walk away!
(and before anyone wants to suggest I was dressed in a provocative way - the answer is no!)
johnbits - no this was not in a bar, but it was a social gathering outside the office

MsClueless, I can imagine that you might be feeling quite disturbed by all this. Are these your colleagues the men you are talking about? If that's the case I think that knowing that in Thailand they would get away with it without being accused of sexual harassment makes it more of a bravado than anything. Or perhaps if they know each other quite well they might have put a bet on sleeping with you or something like that. It could be what actually happened which can leave an after taste of humiliation. If you feel intimidated by these people you could try to talk to someone in a position of authority at work about it. If it's difficult or not worth it I'd take it as an experience to learn from. In my experience, a threatening long stare keeps that kind of hungry beast away for good..

Men like sex with women, even if their wife isn't around. Shock.
My mistress (sex only, {unpaid
}) is lovely, as is the wife. If another fit female wishes to be added to the collection I probably wouldn't refuse.
It's our DNA, it's what we're programmed to do.
