unfortunately in some countries asking someone "what are you loking at" is taken as a challange for a fight

This town has got to have the worst Thai and Farang people of anywhere in Thailand.

Yes I did live there.

Yes I was assaulted there.

It is an absolute cesspool of humanity.

Just look around.

I feel sorry for this guy and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Some posters here need a reality check thou.

Pattaya safe you are really having a laff.

I have spent a lot of time in Pattaya over the last 10 years and have wandered around at all times of day and night and nothing has ever happened to me but it would be silly to say that makes Pattaya safe.

There is all sorts of stuff going on in Pattaya and the potential for trouble and violence is never far away.

Go and start talking to a few Thais about whether  they think Pattaya is safe and most will say definitely not.

Man, so many of the long term expats here that I see around the gym hate it here but are trapped..they have nothing to go home to..i feel for these guys but they came over chasing girls and soon found that it ain't all smiles...some also have niche businesses that they could not do anyplace else.

Actual hot women face little competition anywhere, no matter what their genealogy.
Thailand girls may seem prettier on average, but is generally down to the fact that a higher percentage of them are thin and petite, dress a certain way, compared to Europeans.
Stunning women are stunning anywhere. I think there are more stunners in the west, but maybe I have been here too long.
Why don't western stunners like it here? They have more options than we do, But I bet if you knew one they would say Thailand is nice to visit.

What a fantastic, fascinating thread! Thanks guys for cheering up my crappy morning :-)

Seriously, why do you stay?

You are so full of hatred and resentment to the place. What keeps you here?

I don't understand your problem with tax exemption.  All USAID contractors with whom I have worked received their federal tax exemption (up to the limit) no matter their residency.  And I don't see how changing your destination when leaving the conflict zone changes that.  Most people with whom I worked chose Thailand as their getaway as it was within the distance allowed for a free ticket, was inexpensive, and fit their needs for a week or two of relaxation.  I should point out that this included both male and female employees.

I no longer work for the government but a Thai company.  I am a resident of the US.  Yet I still get my tax exemption as the key is that I earn my salary here.  There is some sort of number of day limit of spending time in the US, but anyone who has a real job should not reach that limit.  And when I was in a conflict zone, that requirement was null and void.

As far as what you consider "hot" women, well, that is all a matter of opinion.  To me, hot is more than superficial appearances but attitude.  But given your predilection, I still know a number of "hot" (by your definition) western women who have made their homes here in Thailand and are seemingly quite happy about it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, personally i think 6 foot blondes with over inflated false tits just look ridiculous!!, especially the ones that think they are HOT!!

Let me get this right.....

you are asking us (a bunch of blokes) what a farang women thinks?

You are definitely in the wrong forum.

Just noticed aneliane joined in, you are the only qualified poster so far.

Not really sure what the negativity is for, some guys myself, included arent  into asian girls. Not a judgement just a fact...

I'll give you some feedback since I was in the similar boat as you a bit back. Moved out here after grad school and bartended before I ended up making money in other ventures.. Anyways since I'm only into skinny white girls my move here was hard... love Thailand but lack of good looking girls made me always the girl i dated at the time from home out here for a bit. I am from Europe and I wouldn't say my gfs are top end models but very hot 7-9 by my and most of my friends scale. End result was always they didn't like it, wanted to go home.

Problem is always that the more attractive foreign girls get no love where they need it the most, their friends. They can't make friends here. Thai girls might be sweet to them but that's it. Thai guys might fawn but not even gay guys would want to chat in the salon.  And other foreign girls generally, no disrespect ment, don't take care of them selves so they automatically write her off. Lonliness is harder if your used to attentivness I guess. Since I was working a bunch I would only notice after a few weeks.

Might offer to bring her friend along if they stay longer periods. Also consider outside of bangkok, samui is better if you can commute. I did the Phuket Bangkok commute for two years its doable. Samui has better quality tourists so it is less nasty for the girls who aren't used to that.

Alternatively one of my friends was plastered at the pattaya white girl go go places until he convinced one to move in with him after her contract was up. Might be a cheaper option. I'm married now so sadly I never got to try :-)

Young western women have education and expectation of being treated as equal.This no doubt why so many are stressed ,disappointed or prefer to eschew marriages.

What ever anyone thinks of the merits of this with one or two notable exceptions Thailand is a very conservative traditionalist society.The fact that Thai men look down on women is pobably apparent to women from outside.

Its a very male world much like the society I grew up in.If your need for partners is decided by skin pigment then you may prefer adjust your location,lighting levels  or expectations.

Think you have set up ''your'' shop in the wrong country. There are a few African states that fit your needs.

You can find plenty of 5'8" plus surgically enhanced women around Nana.
