I prefer the tried and tested method. I met my woman in a shop, exactly the sort of thing that could have happened in England. Your story about the man in the Internet cafe doesn't surprise me one bit. He did right to walk away and block her. But I'm certain this did not break the girl's heart. How could it? She hadn't met him. She'd just move on to the next possibility.
Hiya, love these walks and stories so much. You are so calming to listen to. Can not wait for the next one. Another interesting story. You should not feel bad. Sometimes things happen for a reason. And maybe just the thought she was talking to other men was too much for him. I hope you had fun meeting the subscribers. Have a great week.
Great area there. I used to stay in a Guesthouse in Chaiya Soi 1 many times over the years but has since changed hands. It used to be called Top Garden. This video really brings back the memories of those times. Loving your walks and talks !! Keep up the great vlogs
I was at The Consuls Garden the other day having afternoon tea, and I met an old gentleman, probably in his eighties. He had lived in Chiang Mai since 1968. However, he said something that really made me think. He said “ do you know something, I have no more understanding of the Thai’s now, than when I first stepped off the plane all those years ago”.
Well that's kind of bizarre. But some people feel that way . No doubt we think different , but in reality we re all the same . My guess is it's said about us as well .
He's spot on, you will get robbed eventually, not today, maybe tomorrow, but it will happen, the plan is to marry into Thai wealth, that's the only way you can be secure! At least you can't be robbed
@@sebbster8703 do you know how the hiso works I'm guessing you'll of paid a load even if she's not a virgin. I just think with the type of comments you make, that you are only convincing yourself mate. A wealthy family is unlikely to look at a fella on TH-cam too well,. Especially dad . Just be mindful that you're not involved in a long game Sebastian
Lovely walkabout. Enjoyed the scenery and enjoyed the story. Thought it was quite sad but life works in mysterious ways so maybe he went home and met the love of his life there Thank you for another great vlog.
Awesome Storyline I really like the way you tell it I talked to alot of girls to some real some fake but you got to be realistic when talking to them online good advice Thank you so much for the info😎😊👍👌
I think that "Hideout" restaurant has been there almost since 2000. More than twenty years if I'm not mistaken. I also saw a "The Salad Concept" restaurant as you were crossing the street by the moat near the start of your video. I ate at a larger The Salad Concept on Nimmanhaemin Road when I was living in Chiang Mai. Fantastic salads..... everything you wish ..you build your own salad. Best salad I've ever had in my life. Thanks for the videos.
@@UTCM Oh….I remember the Art Café on the corner just across from Tha Phae Gate. I really liked their Pad Thai and friendly service. What a shame it’s gone. But the Garden Restaurant on Loi Khro Road has great Khao Soi Chiang Mai Noodles. Really miss the Durian Ice cream at some of the markets, and the fantastic fresh corn on the cob at the Night Market. (I can never eat just one.). There was a man from Turkey…he married a Thai woman and he had a Kebab cart. Wonderful chicken kebabs he would make for folks walking on the street. Delicious with some hot sauce, lettuce, tomato. You’re living in a wonderful city. One of my favourite cities. With amazing temples also. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, and Wat Chedi Luang are two of my favourites.
Mr. Bill....'...I am still watching the clips regularly.... I will travel to Thailand at the first part of 2023.....will visit "Eesane" and then Laos.....Maybe northern part of Thailand as well....will keeps in touch.
@@UTCM A perfect example of If everyone contributes how things could look. I'm trying to somehow include Chiang Mai in my trip to Thailand in October/November. That mountain air has to be amazing.
Thanks for going by the canal there by that old moat I wasn't able to go through there because they were hosing it down I walked around the whole kampadin outer moat. There is still part of an original bastion left on this moat in kanchanaphisek park. they used to have a high dike of mud built around the outer moat instead of a wall. you can still see this mud wall when you walk north from loi Kroh road on kampadin road on the right side of the road you will see the mud wall I went and took pictures of this whole part. south of Loi Kroh road someone is gardening up on the remains of the old dike I'm into history and I found this very interesting the history of the whole outer moat. thanks again for going down the last part of the outer moat I couldn't make it to in 2018
Yes it is challenging for the very decent women who are simply looking for a chance in life. I suggest you don't over identify with their situation. For there are to many very money hubby players also. We have all heard of guys losing everything in paradise. It happens every day. It's also refreshing to hear if the ones who made it work.
Thank you for sharing. It's an interesting story, and to be honest, it could happen anywhere in the world. Guys, let#s be honest, you never ever texted more than one girl at a time, i mean before even seeing/mmeting the girl in real? How can she/he be special to you if you never met them? I can imaging that girl would have been serious with that guy if he would have made the surprise and show her he's real. That's one missed opportunity in life. Stay healthy guys...
The computer killed romance, I'm glad I came here before it did. The experience of meeting my wife by chance and starting a familly are priceless memories...Sorry but "oh I met my wife on the Internet" just doesn't do it for me, not recommended.
He did the right thing in forgetting her, next time forget meeting a girl on a dating site and pay a visit to Thailand and meet girls face to face. I have a hell of a time meeting a good girl on a dating site and I live in Thailand!!!
I have listened to a dozen stories of yours and they're quite interesting but do you ever tell 100% positive story :-) I met my Thai wife on Facebook. We had several Facebook friends in common. I noticed we liked similar posts I often saw her like a Facebook friend's post and likewise she saw I liked another Facebook friends post. Quite frankly I can't remember who messaged who first. Anyway we started talking on messenger. Also talk to each other through comments on common Facebook friends posts. We got to talking daily. During our conversations we got to know one another. She learned I had been divorced and had two daughters. I learned that she had gotten divorced and had a daughter and a son. My children were in University hers were in high school. She was a school teacher she had a degree in travel industry hospitality she also had a degree in Thai language, and she was working on a master's degree in Thai education. She owned a car, she owned a motorcycle, she and the ex-husband had their home up for sale. She was living in the government housing provided School teachers while teaching school. In other words she was a middle class Thai person with a solid productive lifestyle. Her divorce had put the drama behind her and was 5 years in the past. The same for me my divorce was 5 years in the past. We got to talking and enjoyed conversations every day. One time during a conversation she mentioned that she had had numerous conversations with other foreigners. But she commented that she always enjoyed our conversations, and seemed to never want them to end. She also said that on the other hand the other foreign men seem to want to talk about cars, sports, parties. Often she found her self wondering when the conversation would end because she did not enjoy it. After 4 months of conversation She invited me to come to Thailand to see the country and we could meet. This was May, I agreed, she wanted to do it right away 555 but I told her I had promised my oldest daughter and her 95-year-old grandmother that I would take them on a two-week tour of Italy and Greece, including a one week long cruise in August. She pushed for the meeting to happen in May or June and I said no ,we'll make plans in October when your school year is completed. So not to drag the story on and on, yes there was a near break up on the internet one time. And two weeks into the visit we had a near break up due to a language barrier and culture barrier but we got through it those are interesting stories of themselves. We laugh about it now but it was pretty intense then. I'll save those for another day. But to continue with the story we got to know each other she taught in Chanburi we traveled to Pattaya, we then traveled to Nan, and drop the kids off with Grandma. Then traveled to look at Chiang Mai, and then flew to Phuket and stayed in Phuket for one week. By this time we'd known each other face to face for one full month. I was comfortable enough to rent a house for us to live in out of those three cities we traveled through we picked Chiang Mai to settle down. She's the best woman I have ever had a relationship with in my entire life. 23 years difference in our age but she is smitten with me, and I am smitten with her. We now own our own home here in Chiang Mai and are married and have lived here for 6 years. We travel internationally, but love it when we come home to our beautiful home here in Chiang Mai. I'm in my 6th year with her my 9th year of retirement in God willing I hope I have 20 more years with her here in Chiang Mai:-)
Great story ! There are more good stories than bad one by far . My story which I have told is much like yours . only the fact that it was my idea to come to Thailand . Then after leaving the first time wanted to get back as fast as I could . After my wife go her visa and we moved back to the states our entire existence revolved around getting back here , which took 6 years . We ve been here 12 years now have no plans to move anywhere ..
@@UTCM I'm 69 years old now retired at 60 years of age. Had been retired two years when I met her, during retirement I had invested all my cash in 8 single-family homes for rental. I anticipated that I would enjoy our relationship enough, and guest that if I went for one month and came back to the US I would be wanting to go right back. So I had a meeting with my pastor and asked him some questions. Because he's a very smart man. I asked him what do you think about cleaning my home and putting it up for rent. And just moving to Thailand for a test relationship and see how we get along. He already knew about the details of her life and personality and of course he knew me well. He told me he only had two questions. I said what? You said do you have a place to live if it doesn't work out do you have the money and a home to live in? I laughed and said pastor, I have nine rental houses with month to month leases. I have my choice of nine homes to live in:-) and yes I have cash. He said well I just have one other question. When are you going to go? 555 so I got renter for my home sold my car sold my travel trailer and luckily I had a large storage building in the back side of the home I was living in. I just moved all my belongings in there covered them up and padlocked the building and excluded that building from the lease agreement. So I had already anticipated I would want to come back so I just never went back. During these 6 years I rented the houses for 4 years and then got fed up with it in the last two years I have spent selling all nine of them. Last year I finally sold the last rental house and I no longer Burdened with renter landlord issues.
I made about 10 trips here after my first trip . When I came in 2010 everything I owned was in two suit cases and my little dog . Wad of cash in my pocket and money in the bank . I sold two houses three cars and a motorcycle in the last 90 days . My last night we were on a bare matteress on the floor ......
Could you spend more time talking about the places, buildings, temples, etc. that you are walking by? More info. That a future tourist could use. Some of the places you pass look really interesting but I don’t know what they are about. Enjoy your videos. Jim from Round Rock, Texas.
Reading all the stories one would think all thai woman are bad but actually it could be any woman from around the world there are good ones and bad ones finding one depends on your luck. So good luck to all the man around the world in finding a good mate.
There’s an entire TV show based on the K-1 visa, called 90 Day Fiancé. I don’t know if you can get it in Thailand. The couples on the show usually come with a bit more, um, drama, though (and not in a good way). Enjoy your trip!
That sounds like a cheesy reality TV show with scripted drama that probably gets dull and predictable very soon. My understanding is that the majority of Thai ladies have no interest in leaving their country unlike Philippinas.
Met a few Western guys who think they've met a great women on online but often it's all a front. On the other hand I know a Filipino woman in Bkk, spoke to a guy from the Uk for a year online. He was coming over ,she took 2 weeks off work to meet him. However even though he was in Bkk he would make numerous excuses about not being able to meet or say I will meet you at a certain time but not turn up. Can work the other way too. In Bkk masks are compulsory on the MRT/ BTS , buses still.
New Sub, enjoying your vids. You made reference to previously being On The Job in an earlier vid (what Department or part of the States). I hear Midwest or South East Region in your voice? Regards, JP
@@UTCM Just now viewing your featured video and see that you were in charge of the DB with a skilled cross trained crew. Did you take your Retired ID with you to Thailand. Much Respect.
Good for you 18 years married you found one of the good one's unfortunately they don't have a star on their forehead indicating good or bad if you find a good girl life is blissful but if you get a bad one it's hell on earth, he caught her out, you gave that lad good advice run as fast as he can from a Deceitful girl, in most cases it's a trade off with the old Guy's and younger Girls and it's the foreigner who risks all and usually looses all I can never understand why foreigner's play Russian Roulette with their emotions and life saving for, on the most part on impoverished women, initially Thai and Western women will treat you like a king until she has control of the man improves her position and then ditches him to Monkey Branch for better pickings money number one, ok their are the exceptions but usually they can bring or show there financial independence upfront and can complement each other, nobody likes to be just an ATM. Nature is good to us old Guy's who no longer have the same sexual drive, women no longer can have same control on these men, as they require a lot more than a pretty body for the most part companionship a partner who will compliment your life,
Well, Thomas Redmond, find a woman close to your age that way; we don't have to listen to old foreigners bitching about how they got scammed or robbed by Asian women. Leave the young ones to me; I will handle them, lol
I know you are an Ex investigator, so spying on people is normal to you. What that man did was disgustingly cowardly. His behavior is a perfect example of a beta boy who knows he can't compete with normal males. That woman is very fortunate that he ran home with his feelings hurt. She would have had a very unfulfilling life with him.
It would take a long time to explain the thai way A good thai lady needs a good man I only speak little thai and understand how to be good man Think in your own country a divorce cost how much but what caused the divorce if you don't no answers don't think to find love in thailand
Hi ! While I agree with you re people looking for love on dating sites and chatting with many from the opposite sex at the same time and it is understandable , what I found happens far too often with BOTH sexes is that they line up a bunch to meet up with ,the guys tell each one that they are the one, then hop in bed and do that to how ever many they have hooked with promises of only you love !! None of the gals ever hear from him again !! As for the gals, they do the same thing, mostly looking for a big spender sugar daddy ,get as much as they can and go on to the next ,over and over again , getting pretty wealthy in the yr after yr process !! So my advice simply is ,DO NOT BE THAT ONE and if you are not , VET,VET,VET !! Take your time and OBEY ANY red flag !! All the best and God bless !
I met a beautiful lady from the Philippines. We married, and I brought her to the USA to live with me. Three Months later, she wanted a divorce and left me.
Dude get off the heavy traffic roads...too noisy.. its a jungle online meeting and chatting asian women. Lots of broken promises...no shows..multiple chat romances..lies..etc. Dating sites and Facebook groups are ok for meeting and getting a feel for the woman to set up a real in person meet. But long term..forget it.
Not really he's glad he got rid of her if she was serious she would only be talking to him I know a guy that brought one of those girls home to America she got a job and she was cheating in America the problem with those women is they want to live in America and the money to support their parents there is no love it's only financial gain he is lucky he found out that way instead of spending more money and wasting more time with a cheater that she would do later on in life if she was a good woman and was online with a man for 6 months that's the only guy she could have been talking to I could see if it was only a couple weeks but after 6 months give me a break
Ever one come to Thailand for something but she knows what she was doing because this is not here frist roadeo she gave this A dad tast in his mouth about Thai women
Mr Magoo, I met a girl on Filipino cupid..all was legit she has her own job...we both deleted our profile on cupid, I met her Mom her sister via Line is like what's app...so everything seem toooo tooo tooo good, when I call she pick up ...so it bother me for a while of all the stories I hear like yours now, 8 months on the making...so I made a fake profile jumped on Filipino cupid 6 pages later there she was tgere with a diffrent name...so I deleted my fake profile and I blocked her from my email and my cell number, I did the Houdini Vanishing act, no explanation nothing....no need to tell her what she did the end, I had my ticket booked for a month to surprise her, glad I took insurance, canceled the flight..n booked a ticket to Costa Rica, man i got my woofers blowned there for 2 weeks difrent women.....I will be in the Phillipines at the end of October...never again will i get on line....will talk to them face to face...so I really blame my self, but gentlemen if u have that gut feeling..follow it...glad she did it because she tells who she really, was....

I made about 10 trips here after my first trip . When I came in 2010 everything I owned was in two suit cases and my little dog . Wad of cash in my pocket and money in the bank . I sold two houses three cars and a motorcycle in the last 90 days . My last night we were on a bare matteress on the floor ......
@@UTCM When I sold my last rental last night I was in an old rocker recliner and I had a very very old TV with antenna 555Left them behind :-)
I met my wife the same way you did. Been together for 11 years now .
It works out well for some ! We are fortunate . I think there are more too .
Yaaaahoooooo
weather is very hot
Thank you for showing Chiang Mai. I am your new subscriber

Congratulations to 18 years

Thank you !
Could you spend more time talking about the places, buildings, temples, etc. that you are walking by? More info. That a future tourist could use. Some of the places you pass look really interesting but I don’t know what they are about. Enjoy your videos. Jim from Round Rock, Texas.
Thanks ! Yes
It was really busy on Huay kaew Road because Kad Suan Kaew is closing. Sad for many us who live in the area.
I ve been in there 4 times in 12 years . Mostly to the bank . But yes sad to see it shut down .
would be nice to meet nice Thai lady but not knowing the language not possible
It's still possible . There are many good lady's here
Talking is overrated!🤣🤣
@@AmericanInThailand that's funny!
@05:50 VW notchback. Very nice.
Type 2 VW use to see them in the states in the 70s
@@UTCM Rare anymore. Love Thai car culture.
Interesting story. Just went past the 17yr mark with my lovely Pinay bride. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations !
Filipinas are the best women hands down
Reading all the stories one would think all thai woman are bad but actually it could be any woman from around the world there are good ones and bad ones finding one depends on your luck. So good luck to all the man around the world in finding a good mate.
For every bad one there are 5000 excellent ladies . That is also true anywhere.
There’s an entire TV show based on the K-1 visa, called 90 Day Fiancé. I don’t know if you can get it in Thailand. The couples on the show usually come with a bit more, um, drama, though (and not in a good way).
Enjoy your trip!
I ve seen it . Laughed through most of it !
That sounds like a cheesy reality TV show with scripted drama that probably gets dull and predictable very soon. My understanding is that the majority of Thai ladies have no interest in leaving their country unlike Philippinas.
@@ccrider8483 no most would love to leave
@@UTCM I suppose I should have said, they have no interest to leave their home country to come with me to mine.
Surprises are for children. Sorry for the guy but....you have to be realistic!
Fascinating stories 👍🏻
Thank you !
Met a few Western guys who think they've met a great women on online but often it's all a front. On the other hand I know a Filipino woman in Bkk, spoke to a guy from the Uk for a year online. He was coming over ,she took 2 weeks off work to meet him. However even though he was in Bkk he would make numerous excuses about not being able to meet or say I will meet you at a certain time but not turn up. Can work the other way too. In Bkk masks are compulsory on the MRT/ BTS , buses still.
Yes happens all too often . I m pretty sure they are still required to ride the bts . Although not sure .
New Sub, enjoying your vids. You made reference to previously being
On The Job in an earlier vid (what Department or part of the States). I
hear Midwest or South East Region in your voice?

Just now viewing your featured video and see that you were in
charge of the DB with a skilled cross trained crew. Did you take
your Retired ID with you to Thailand. Much Respect.

I did ours . Knew all the ins and outs by the time I finished .
Very pretty area!
Yes it is @
i would never tell my thai girl when i was coming , worked good
Good for you 18 years married you found one of the good one's unfortunately they don't have a star on their forehead indicating good or bad if you find a good girl life is blissful but if you get a bad one it's hell on earth, he caught her out, you gave that lad good advice run as fast as he can from a Deceitful girl, in most cases it's a trade off with the old Guy's and younger Girls and it's the foreigner who risks all and usually looses all I can never understand why foreigner's play Russian Roulette with their emotions and life saving for, on the most part on impoverished women, initially Thai and Western women will treat you like a king until she has control of the man improves her position and then ditches him to Monkey Branch for better pickings money number one, ok their are the exceptions but usually they can bring or show there financial independence upfront and can complement each other, nobody likes to be just an ATM. Nature is good to us old Guy's who no longer have the same sexual drive, women no longer can have same control on these men, as they require a lot more than a pretty body for the most part companionship a partner who will compliment your life,
True I can attest to that been thru it a really bad experience.
well said
Well, Thomas Redmond, find a woman close to your age that way; we don't have to listen to old foreigners bitching about how they got scammed or robbed by Asian women. Leave the young ones to me; I will handle them, lol
So true
I know you are an Ex investigator, so spying on people is normal to you. What that man did was disgustingly cowardly. His behavior is a perfect example of a beta boy who knows he can't compete with normal males. That woman is very fortunate that he ran home with his feelings hurt. She would have had a very unfulfilling life with him.
Of course she was fishing for a farang , why would one presume otherwise ?
Hopefully he came back to Thailand after that
I don't know
It would take a long time to explain the thai way A good thai lady needs a good man
I only speak little thai and understand how to be good man
Think in your own country a divorce cost how much but what caused the divorce
if you don't no answers don't think to find love in thailand
Hi ! While I agree with you re people looking for love on dating sites and chatting with many from the opposite sex at the same time and it is understandable , what I found happens far too often with BOTH sexes is that they line up a bunch to meet up with ,the guys tell each one that they are the one, then hop in bed and do that to how ever many they have hooked with promises of only you love !! None of the gals ever hear from him again !! As for the gals, they do the same thing, mostly looking for a big spender sugar daddy ,get as much as they can and go on to the next ,over and over again , getting pretty wealthy in the yr after yr process !! So my advice simply is ,DO NOT BE THAT ONE and if you are not , VET,VET,VET !! Take your time and OBEY ANY red flag !! All the best and God bless !
That's very true , or they just screw around have no intentions of ever coming .
Slow motion narrative
Until the two persons meet and delete their other prospects it is just window shopping.
it all depends what they have been saying to each other ,dont you think ,i think he was so hurt because of what they had been saying
True , he maybe expected a lot more than what it really was . I guess never know !
I met a beautiful lady from the Philippines. We married, and I brought her to the USA to live with me. Three Months later, she wanted a divorce and left me.
That happens quite a bit , once in the states ...
Is it legal to have some sort of protection against these feral dogs or loose dogs that try to attack you being a foreigner. Or is it a crime
I good bamboo stick is all you need .
@@UTCM better not miss than😂
I dunno about that, but better get a spray bottle of some sort, pepper spray is best and always keep it on you
@@ksem_ch3186 I always carried a bamboo stick whack it on the road a couple times . They take off running .
Dude get off the heavy traffic roads...too noisy.. its a jungle online meeting and chatting asian women. Lots of broken promises...no shows..multiple chat romances..lies..etc. Dating sites and Facebook groups are ok for meeting and getting a feel for the woman to set up a real in person meet. But long term..forget it.
It's a gamble for sure .
yes until you meet it's just talk
Not really he's glad he got rid of her if she was serious she would only be talking to him I know a guy that brought one of those girls home to America she got a job and she was cheating in America the problem with those women is they want to live in America and the money to support their parents there is no love it's only financial gain he is lucky he found out that way instead of spending more money and wasting more time with a cheater that she would do later on in life if she was a good woman and was online with a man for 6 months that's the only guy she could have been talking to I could see if it was only a couple weeks but after 6 months give me a break
Ever one come to Thailand for something but she knows what she was doing because this is not here frist roadeo she gave this A dad tast in his mouth about Thai women
Msn and yahoo chat
I remember them
