What a lovely down to earth girl. Inspirational.
Based upon 7 years of living in the Land of Smiles I can say this: If more Thai Girls in her age range had her attitude and disposition the false preception of many Thai girls would be shattered. Rarely I have been in contact with a Thai girl with her positive and bright attitude and disposition. She has something that is rare: Initiative.
It's true
Omg - ONE year only learning English!! This is amazing!! Here I am after 8 years I can barely order coffee and do pleasantries and do numbers!! My GOSH - I feel completely ashamed by her command of English after only one year. Be that as it may - great video!!!
I got this tip and use it, put all the day to day phrases in English and Thai as your wallpaper on your phone, really helped me have a quick reference
@@Consumer11Good idea!
You lazy! 😂
After 6 years of relationship with a Thai women, she is 20 years younger than me, she newer ask for money, she pay her part of the household, she keep the house and cook, and have a high energy level, and a wery positive look at life, she is a blessing and energy and happy giving, i see and hear the same thing with her Thai friends, and ther hosbonds.
A common Thai women do not drink alcohol, and have traditional strong family bindings..
Thank you Pete for giving Earn a chance to provide the perspective of a Thai Woman. Earn is a young Woman, but has a certain wisdom beyond her years.
As a father of two daughters in their 30’s, I always looked at Thai Women differently than most men my age. I don’t see a potential girlfriend or life partner in young Women. That’s just me….
As foreigners, we should respect the Thai, and their culture, with even more reverence than we would in our country of origin. Remember, we’re guests in a Land of Smiles.
I hope Earn continues her studies while pursuing her Dreams of becoming a successful TH-camr. Good luck Earn!
Another great episode, Pete 🙏🏼
cheers buddy
Yep. Finding someone age and interests compatible makes a huge difference.
@@AZdreaminn Look, I understand the reasons some men pursue a relationship with much younger Women. It’s difficult to find a Woman age appropriate when you’re 55 and over. But, it’s not an impossibility…
@@toddsmith59 True. I was able to
What a wholesome woman ❤ So intelliegent at such a young age.
Great interview Pete.
Earn came up as a recommendation a while back. The one where she bought her car. Been following her since. I did not realize that she had gone to university.
I don't usually recommend channels to other people, but I did recommend her to the group chat of a TH-camr that I watch livestream weekly and a few of them went to her channel to watch her livestream. It was a positive response. I wish Earn the best and recommend that the people with the negative comments watch her videos.
cheers buddy
Earn’s english improved incredibly....
I follow Earn.Young,sensible and articulate amongst many qualities.She's so humble.
Very surprises lm also her follower she is very natural lovely girlll🎉 Thank you so much for this great interview🎉❤
Very inspiring interview well done mate
Earn is a kind , intelligent and beautiful young lady
thanks mate
She is gorgeous!
Cool interview. Great advice given. Listen up, y'all.
Earn nailed it in one sentence and not just about dating.. 'be humble, they will like you more'..
I like this channel. Your interviewing style is good and you have a good variety of people on the show.
Thanks for doing this video. I find it interesting getting the views of Thais. I suggested doing this so I'll take full credit! Haha. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Keep up the good vids.
I've only been to Thailand once and it was very enjoyable. Earn is right about how social media can distort your view of the country. I met up with a couple of Thai women and they had normal jobs. One was even a dentist. I think it's because some TH-camrs solely focus on Pattaya and the Thailand night life. There are many facets to Thailand like the food, temples, beaches, and other parts of the culture that tourists should explore
What an incredible ambassador for Thailand!! Earn is just an incredible Thai woman who the rest of the world must learn from!!
I subscribed to Earn's channel.
I've had a lot of bad experiences in Thailand. Maybe Earn's humble & Kind heart can still give me Hope. 🙏🙏
What happened?

best of luck buddy, chin up
Every situation will vary, based on who you meet. You will meet some woman who seek dependancy, others who seek interdependence, and others who are independent.
Woman are the same in most countries, the only difference is culture.
I met my Thai girlfriend on a Thai dating site. It was a matter of our understanding and appreciating each other's culture.
We are still going strong, long distance, after 2 years. I come to visit several months out of the year.
💯
She did very well! Her information really helped me understand how to meet quality thai women. I will become a subscriber.
I think the main thing to get on well with Thai women, is to show them respect, exactly how you treat your partner. Thank you for giving the female point of view after all the exploitative male farang interviews.
great video pete !! good to see this side and perspective !!!
I’ve been watching her channel for quite awhile now well over a year and a half see seems a very nice person
My wife is thai and coming to Ireland to live with me in july ,alot of foregin men have no respect for the culture and go there for drink and partying and the bar is their thai adventure so they really know nothing about thai culture or the country or the people,i dont drink ,never went to bars in Thailand or nightclubs ,i dont drink ,my wife dont drink ,my wife is beautiful inside and out ,she is a big family person who lives for her family which is why i fell in love with her and her culture,family is everything to her and being a irish person family is everthing to me too ❤love the channel pete ,just arrived bk from Thailand 2weeks ago ,bk now in the emerald Isle
best of luck to both of you. Your wife will love life in Ireland
I am sure most thai woman what a loving husband that loves them. The big question is why would they want to date a foreigner over a Thai local guy. A guy that does not speak Thai or understand Thai culture. They want a better quality of life that foreign money brings. You have to understand their families are very important to them and they want to do what is best for the family.
Yes. But how is this different than any other western woman? They also try to "marry up". Not like western women just look for any lower income, uneducated man who speaks their language. Wanting to be provided for exists all over thw world.
There is an additional factor. Many Thai guys are quite chauvinistic. Not all, but many.
most of the very attractive, educated and sophisticated woman here are with Thai men. the country is mildly racist and apartheid
Great interview and I am going to subscribe to her channel.
Great insights !! Hitting Proper Thai opinions !!!
Great interview and nice to see some positive interactions. If you are to visit Thailand, like any country learn about the culture, the law and at least a few basic sentences, it shows effort and respect 🙏🏻
All people chase a good life. A good life requires money.
that's a fair point
Nailed it
Great interview.. she’s adorable 🥹
Her english and passion are amazing.Great insight.People need to compromise and learn to be happy.Wishing her wealth,health and happiness.The world is her oyster.
I can never understand how most men wouldn't date ex workers in Western countries for all the obvious reasons. However they pitch up in Thailand and expect a different outcome
well there is good reason why they call Thailand magical place - when men arrive at airport they leave their brains in the garbage bin 555 also back in west ex workers don't try to play games with you so you fall in love with them, I can bet if they did that then they would date them.
yeah it's a strange one indeed
I don't understand it either...
They are skilled. "I am new here, just arrived." "I only work in the bar, I don't go with men." "I love you very much." "I will take care of you". They bamboozle the farang into believing everything they say. When you hear those stories, it's always a variation of the same thing.
Ex workers in western countries aren't nearly as charming.
I am off to the book shop in Phrom Phong tomorrow....
hahaha enjoy buddy and that is a great choice of bookshop
As a youngish man in my 30's teaching in Thailand for 5 years I naively did try to change my Thai GF unconsciously , I used to think why isn't she getting it , why does she fail to understand ? such Western arrogance , not only did she love me to death , she never took a penny off me , (only 2000 Baht a month for rent) she also took good care of me , always in my heart Jomjai Pulachi "Joy from Trang"
I'm a foreigner living in Bangkok. It's my 2nd time in Thailand. My first time, I was a professor at Mahidol University. Like her, I often feel that most foreigners skim the surface of Thailand. You need to have a lot of knowledge to speak about Thailand. First of all, you need to learn the language to at least an intermediate level. Secondly, you need to meet different types of Thai people and know the culture, including Buddhism, and you need to be familiar with the history and political system. Many foreigners have TH-cam channels to make money. I talk to many foreigners who have never visited even one bookstore in Bangkok. They don't even know Bangkok has a great bookstore scene. It's just one example. They also know nothing about Thailand's universities.
How was it working at Mahidol University? I've seen positions advertised but the salaries seemed a bit low.
@sheridancole. Now Mahidol has an age limit for people who are applying to teach there - 60. I taught there from 2006 to 2009 when i was in my 40s but there was no age limit then. I prefer it to a high school atmosphere as it's more cosmopolitan and open minded. The salaries are low if you're not in the international college or if you're not highly published in your field. The international college has a separate website that you need to apply on. I would say it's better to find a job in your field rather than teaching English in the Language Center. My second job was in the Language Center and I felt we got little respect.
She makes some excellent points!
Thailand is a collection of states that aren't always happy with each other.
Phuket for example doesn't have a high opinion of the ruling powers.
Her opinions is extremely naive and to be brutally honest I think she's lying to project an image of herself and Thailand that's sells both to the viewer.
You can't blame her,that's life in Thailand.Theres no grey area and the poor farmers from Isaan can only dream of the heights that the 'owners' and 'bosses' have risen to.
very nice and useful
Earn's English is great!
What she said about not all Thai women are after money is true. Though many who seek out foreign partners are after money, though not all! I've talked about this topic with many Thai people, in Thai as well and most of the Thai people have agreed with me. My Thai is pretty good as well, I can also read and write.
You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what my brother and I agree upon after living in Thailand for 12 years. I always avoid Thai women that only go after foreigners and say things like “all Thai men are bad” “Foreigners are more generous” etc
Earn is such a wonderful advocate for Thailand. New subscriber here :) Regards Tony
Cheers Tony
fantastic
Earn has such a wonderful personality. I'm definitely subscribing to her channel and hope I can interview her on my channel when I go back to Thailand. Great interview.
Thumbs up 👍 Pete & Earn
So commendable to do IV in English after learning for one year 😊
I guy I know, has been to Thailand twice now, both times for a month, primarily Pattaya. He is now an expert, telling me, who's been married to a Thai for 12 years & been going for 16 years, that everything is for sale in Thailand, so in other words all Thai women can be bought. So with that mindset, he's never going to meet a good un.....Eejit!
That is the mindset of most mongers in Pattaya.
I don't know what makes us think that just because we have visited a place a couple of times we are experts??
Yep. No shortage of old jaded dudes in Pattaya that apparently dated 15 million Thai woman. They will hunt you down just so they can tell you you everything about Asia.
💯 No shortage of these guys in the districts.
Keyword: Pattaya. Many Pattaya girls can be bought. My Thai mom from southern Thailand is an orthodontist in America with her own practices now who supported me and my white dad growing up.
Smart lady .at her age.yes learn the culture first
& try to learn the language.thailand is a beautiful country & culture.yes some ladies r scammers .but every country has that.buyer be aware.love ❤ thailand keep it rollin
Pete, I really wish you could do an interview with me. I am Malaysian, an immediate neighbour of Thailand, fluent in Thai, and married to a Thai, and yet I still find understanding the Thai culture such a challenge. I have a very western mind because of my upbringing but a, pretty Asian as well. I am totally in touch and aware of what the cultural misunderstandings are and how to happens.
Hey buddy please email me thairishtimes@gmail.com
Hi Pete I am very impressed with this interview Earn Lucky Girl is a gifted young lady and your interview with her is a very classy interaction
You are a Greta guy Pete and I will start to follow your Channel
I think so Awesome interview 🎉
thank you very much buddy
Earn is beautiful! Great video!
Great interview l subscribe you Thairish times 🎉
Thanks buddy
Lovely interview Pete with a sensible young lady. A possible question for a future interview might ask how she actually found the Bangkok people after her move (change) from her home to Bangkok, the big shmoke. Did she think Bangkok people looked at her differently as she came from the provinces. This type of thing happens in many European countries! 😊
brilliant Martin, that's an interesting topic to get into
My wife said she didn't have an issue with this living in Bangkok for many years after growing up in Isaan. I imagine in some circles this may be an issue. I am also surprised how many wealthy people live here in Isaan.
Luckily my current Thai partner speaks great English, even understands the humour. My Thai is improving too.
you're on to a winner mate
Same for me too 😅
What a bright, engaging and beautiful young woman.
Who are we to judge about young Thai women, who get a partner in their country only from the same social class ... and if one is lucky to get a man from a higher class then most likely there will be a Mia Noi or she is the Mia Noi. So the reason for the Farang choice can be the dream of a classic, romantic and monogamous relationship !!!
Thank you for this important interview Pete. I wish this beautiful, very well english speaking smart lady all the best for her future
glad you enjoyed it buddy
i am from the U.S. and i find its hard to find Thai woman here who are from my social class back home. very few here are up to my ED level or interest and also i find Thai woman judge you on your age and not your heart or mind. so i am thinking about returning to Los Angeles. in regards to money all woman want security and commitment. bet it Beverly Hills or Bangkok. i know and have lived in both places.
@@xstensl8823 ... yes, it i not easy to find the educated good hearted ones. But please tell me what age gab do you want to have?
I’m in ❤️😍😍😍
She is adorable
Great information..would love to hear Earn's views on Sinsod
great topic cheers
@krowe1 ... if you consider that 90% of all Thais have less than 1450,-$ of savings, you may understand that Sinsod is most often damn necessary. Quite often the old people simply spend it for food
@@_Alfa.Bravo_ interesting, I had no idea of the figure but that is a very small savings amount
@@_Alfa.Bravo_ The family quickly blew all of mine on gambling and loan-shark debts -- US$5,000 back in the 80's which was a small fortune --- and then the daughter/wife, a uni student, quickly had no further use for me. She actually bragged that she could get a farang for a big pay-out sinsod again. "Bu peh saniwat eek krung." (A fated special match again.)
I’ve met and dated 3 Thai women..all genuine and all would buy me things..but I just couldn’t get use to the English and the communication between us was a bit frustrating.
Btw..she’s gorgeous 💪🏻
Really good chat. So many nice advices. Also like to add, try to learn some thai if you are thinking of staying, getting a serious relation. It will help you so much not only use the english.. if she is willing to learn english, he should make the effort of learn some thai. My husband learned to speak swedish and it helped him so much even if most people in Sweden speak/understand english. We both are now learning thai so we can talk and understand our thai friends even better and give them a good laugh now and again😉
For sure. Made things a whole lot cooler when I did.
Too cute for your channel ;) peace.
Oh my, those eyes. What a seriously attractive young lady.
Colored contacts.
also if she is involved in contracts its very important to understand the uniform commercial code it is used worldwide it is the law of contracts based on vatican cannon law.
Such a lovely young lady! If western women were so genuine we would not have to go to Thailand to meet genuine people with kindness ❤
Oh yeah, all western women arent genuine. Good one
Understanding is very important,but over thinking is not productive.As an old man sometimes I find it more beneficial to live in the “Now”.My time is limited but for younger people analysis and contemplation is more crucial.
I love her accent.
Not sure if you've done these topics already but here are some topic ideas:
1. How do Thai men feel about Thai women dating foreigners?
2. What's it like being an Asian Foreigner in Thailand? (i.e. Asian American, Asian British etc.)
3. What's it like being Gay, Lesbian, Bi or Trans foreigner in Thailand?
these are great topics thanks!
Yes they all are
20 minutes of ecstasy followed by 23 hours and 40 minutes of a pure living Hell. (I'll pass.)
Very cute and smart girl ❤
Message to Earn - regarding foreigners behaving badly - if it is true that most (normal) Thais don't say anything when being disrespected by foreigners that emboldens the foreigner to continue such behaviour. Serious consequences must be served immediately for bad behaviour otherwise it will continue and likely escalate.
From Ubon 😊
When u hear more bad stories than good buyers beware she is exception. Nevertheless as a foreigner should always treat the locals with respect & courtesy uf u expect to be treated likewise
Pete just increased the book sales in Thailand by 137%.
😂😂😂
There are good Thai women who are not looking for money.
Just like finding an Italian car from the 70’s with no rust!
Maybe you need to sift through 10,000 females to find a good one!
A lovely, different perspective on Thai women
However; Thai women are ranked No: 1 in the world for having extra marital affairs!
Thai men are also ranked No: 1 in the world for extra marital affairs.
When ever there is a difference of opinion - it is always that the westerners don’t understand or appreciate Thai culture!!
Any relationship is a 2 way street.
Communication is the key. That means both parties have to learn how to speak and communicate in the 2 languages.
Book shop english section. Nice.
hehe best of luck
Cute girl😉
7:00 "How can you say Thai woman are just asking money from foreigner, I'm so angry."
22:00 "foreigner must have money to come to Thailand."
Ahhhh...
She is the norm..
I'd like to see a video where Earn debates with Tony Huge 🤣
She can not compete in a debate with a person born in an English speaking country. Personally, I find her views pretty superficial, but many are mesmerized by her cute appearance. I am not a fan TH, just an other sex tourist.
now that would be epic
Hi Pete
Was it Sai Nam Peung School?
Bw, Peter
spot on mate that was it, cheers
the word is golddiggers..
Minimal safety net in the form of social security systems in Thailand which creates strong family bonds, having children who will look after in old age is necessary for survival especially with the massive wealth divide which is why foreigners marriages work, improved lifestyle for Thais in most cases,not all, believing anything else is simply deluding yourself.
Thai government needs to change. there is so much poverty here and wealth inequality
Even if the girl doesn’t care about money.. the family will ring it up so much she’ll eventually want money from you. It’s an issue all over SEA.
เลิฟลีเลดีนะคร๊าบ
For the record, I've lived in Thailand longer than she's been alive. Not all Thai women are prostitutes - duh! However, the vast majority are very money conscious and it is very important that you can "take care" of her. One could argue that's the case in most countries, but financial/money issues in Thailand are a major issue with a lot of couples and many women will want to help their family via your bank, although, it's often done in an indirect manner and for something other than what you may or may not be told. In addition, for many Thai woman the psychology often goes like this: you are giving the money/help to me, not my family AND it is me that is helping my family, so don't expect any credit/merit. As an old hand in Thailand, I can tell you it's all about expectations...figure that out quickly or you may waste a lot of time before finding out you're incompatible as you can't afford the lifestyle and help she might be wanting and expecting.
Interesting comment, cheers
I was told by a bar girl that money is money and love is live , dont mix the two

It sounds like she is talking about Los Angeles
Wolf in sheep skin❤❤❤
"Thai women" "Thai Culture". That's like saying saying Irish, Scots, and English people are all the same. Takes a long time to learn about the DIFFERENT cultures within Thailand. Not sure why most foreigners are attracted to Isaan women, but you have to admit, it's almost always a crash landing.
Wow, gorgeous girl!
Her nails look good 🤔
Men are in love. Woemyn are in busine$$. Anywhere in the world … 😅
Book shop cheers Pete 😂
haha best of luck buddy
@@ThairishTimes just got to learn to read first 😂
Market is made up with demand and supply. Foreign men, both young and old come to Thailand with a big obvious agenda - sex and finding a partner/s. The Thai women who want money more than love find the catch more easily than in abroad. The Thai women who have lived and worked in overseas will have different opinions. Thailand has built a bad reputation over decades on the sex tourism. When the Thais have more opportunities to advance with education, the Thai women's worldview will be bound to change. The Thai women like Earn can encourage the counterparts to empower one another.
