Ray, the risk is all imaginary. I moved to Colombia about 5 years ago, dated about two dozen women and found the girl of my dreams. The risk is in remaining stationary without planning a trip.
Thanks for your very interesting and well-done work in Thailand. I'm learning Thai now, including the challenging script, so your stuff is great motivation. Much appreciated.🌴
I just found your channel and watched two videos and have subscribed. Your presentations are very well done. I completely agree with you regarding the comparison between the women of Bangkok and Pattaya. I hope you are as lucky as I have been in finding happiness in Thailand.
Thanks Geoffrey I appreciate that, and thanks for watching my videos. It sounds like you have found the love of your life here. Good for you. I think it would be a lot easier if I spoke Thai. Thanks again:)
I love this because you're being respectful and honest. Many guys would just paint all Thai women as bad bad but you're honest and I dig that. Keep it up👍🏾
So are you travelling to the other South East Asian countries? Philippines is the obvious choice, especially being American and less language issues! Take your time, I’am 70 now and been to over 60 countries, enjoying my life since being divorced at 48. Am finally in a long term relationship with a Thai lady for 3 years, so far so good!
Roy I like your comment, It sounds like you have lived the life I am just now trying to live. Good to hear you found a great woman. Yes I do plan to see the Philippines and also Malaysia and Vietnam. I believe I will try to go see the Philippines later this year.
Wow dude, I just came back from my 1st trip to Thailand a week ago and boy did a get a front row seat to see how crazy Thai women can be. I mean like next level crazy. I'm a high level quadriplegic, and I went with my bro for 6 weeks. Stayed in Bangkok for about 5 Days Then Stayed in Pattaya, close to the beach on Pra Tam Nak 5 at the tip of Jomtien Beach. Felt alive for the 1st time in YEARS. As a quad, back home, women have 0 interest in me. Holy shit did that that change their. I was totally shocked. To make a very long story very short, (and it's an amazing story.. Or at least I think so) I had to hire a care worker to help me with my day-to-day routine. She was amazing. Then one day, to my great surprise, we hooked up. It only took one week before everything started to go downhill and I now, I can honestly say I have a black belt in understanding how jealous and how crazy Thai women are. Anyways, I fell in love with the place so much, I'm interested in opening a small destination for other people with disabilities like me that can solve all the barriers to travel in Pattaya. Such as care workers, accessible apartments etc. Because there's no way that would have happened without my brother's help and paying probably more than double what a regular person has to pay to travel down there. So hopefully I can make it a lot more affordable as well just plain old possible for other quads to come experience the place. Anyways, love the name of the channel because that was pretty much my inspiration for coming to Thailand in the 1st place. And boy did I actually feel alive. And that's why I want to come back and share it with others who definitely deserve it, but may be impossible to do on their own.
Wow Aaron, this is an amazing story, thank you for sharing this. It sounds like you had the time of your life in Thailand. I am glad to hear this. I think starting your own foundation for other people with disabilities is a great idea, I am sure if you start a website you can get a lot of people to join the cause. Including me. Keep me posted my friend, I would like to hear from you again:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 for sure! I only got back 2 weeks ago so I'm just starting to put the pieces together. Too bad I didn't run into you while I was there. It looks like I was literally around the corner from where you are living right now. I LOVE that area. I'll keep you posted on any progress. Keep up the good content and living the good life.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 yeah dude, that we awesome. What exactly did you have in mind? What you mean by post it on TH-cam? On another subject, maybe we should chat sometime. I feel like we have a lot in common. And I'd love to learn more about your TH-cam journey. I also think you might be able to help me with the project I'm working on. If you're interested. Drop me a line. Or, how do we connect without giving our contact information out directly on the Internet here LOL?
You are one of the most Generous and realistic person i have seen in my life. keep up the good work. It really requires a lot of guts to move out of your comfort zone and live the life you always wanted to. whenever i will visit Pattaya i will surely want to meet you in person. Be happy always. Love from India.
Hello Anant I want to thank you for the great comment. I really do appreciate your kind words. Yes I will admit leaving my comfort zone was not easy for me to do, but I was not living my life, I was only surviving or existing. I have not regrets on my decision. I would be glad to meet you when you get to Thailand. Cheers:)
Catfishing is everywhere.... That is unfortunate. Thats why coffee and coffee only, should be the first time you meet a girl for dating in any part of the world. But you are right... video chat first, then coffee. I met a girl online who lives in the Philippines a while back. It was a travrl destination plan, but i changed my mind. She still contacts me now and then. We fell out over the money thing for her family; without even being in a relationship of any kind. Took me time to adjust, but its just part of their culture. if you get to see the home lives of some of these families, you'd understand the motivation to do that.... Great content by the way.
Hello and thanks for sharing your experience, I did not know they do the money thing for the families in the Philippines like they do in Thailand. Thanks for watching:)
I'm curious as to why you haven't been to Chang Mei yet? That's all I hear about from Americans and Europeon. This was a very necessary video for me, Thank you! When you said many use filters and Language barrier , this has caused me to pause my move there.
Hello Joe, I am glad you liked my video. I have also heard great things about Chiang Mai, I will be going to Phuket first for a few weeks and then I will be going to Chiang Mai. First I am trying to finish doing my taxes and then I will plan my trip. Thanks again:)
Just joined your channel also shared with my friends, im from nyc been going thailand over 20yrs, just left last week after 45 days pattaya, You are correct about these women using all kinds of filters on there pics and videos, also many using pics from 10 yrs ago or more, always a must to do face to face on line app. Best of luck with your channel and your future, will be talking much more, ROCCO
Rick thanks my friend, I appreciate that. It sounds like you have a lot of experience here in Thailand. Yes I am not sure why anyone would use filters or old pictures. especially if they do meet in person they know the other person will be shocked to see a different face.
Thailand has some wonderful qualities and Thai people seem friendly and gracious. But, you need to realize their culture is quite different from US. They are very committed to parents and they live more in the present than Westerners. I've lived in several Asian countries and noticed more difficulties with Thai/American marriages than other Asian/US marriages. These Americans say their Thai wives did not value the past service, commitments compared to 'what are you doing for me today"? That's very hard for Westerners to understand. I'd try to find women working in business that speaks English instead of just trying to find a 'beautiful' girl.
Hello Richard I want to thank you for sharing your experience. I have heard some people say good and bad things about being with Thai women. But I guess the same can be said for women everywhere. I am enjoying the learning process. And I am not looking for just looks in a woman, I am looking for someone who I am attracted to and can get along with and who will be faithful, and of course someone I can speak the same language with, which is my biggest issue so far here. I am taking Thai language lessons
Hi Sean, thanks for sharing your experience. I am on my long way to Thailand this year, finally want to dive in and discover what seems paradise for me. It is very helpful to hear some real info from your side. I am still not sure whether to go the "Bangkok road" or simply start in Pattaya. Pattaya, or Jomtien, seem much more like a calm place to get things sorted out and start discovering. Bangkok is huge and hard to get settled. If you don't mind i'll get in touch with you later this year and buy you a beer. wish you all the best for your channel, and stay safe and healthy, and enjoy everything!
Thank you my friend, That is awesome you coming down to Checkout Thailand, I am sure you will love it here. I will say the airport is in Bangkok so it might be easier to start in Bangkok and go from there. That is what I did, and I guess I am still doing as I will be traveling more around Thailand. Keep me posted:)
Hey Sean … glad you will start traveling within Thailand soon. I have had great times in Chiang Mai as well as Phuket and I can’t wait to get back to Thailand again
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Yes i have never been to Koh Samet but it does appeal to me because it looks like a lovely Beach destination and it does not require you to jump on a Plane if you are in Bangkok or Pattaya/Jomtien area
Great video, love the honesty, thanks for the tips on the video/picture filters. I'm looking to start traveling in Asia in the next year or two, trying to do as much research as possible, really enjoy your video's. Keepem coming
I like you and have the same taste in women so I appreciate your honest opinion and experiences. I don’t plan to permanently move to Thailand but I what I hope to do is spend three months out of the year there once I’m fully retired. Like you, I wouldn’t mind finding a nice woman to share my life with, but I guess we’ll see. After trying dating apps here in the States, I wouldn’t trust them there either. Thanks again for your video!
Thanks for making such an authentic and sincere video about the dating experience in Thailand as comapred tot he hundreds of videos out there that just focus on the beer bars/gogo girls.
Hello I appreciate the comment, yes most people know that sex sells and this is why a lot of people use this to get views. TH-cam is now getting more strict about the subject on your videos and they will not monetize videos if there is anything they consider inappropriate. You can still post those videos but they will not pay you for them.
Hi Sean, interesting video about your dating experiences in Thailand. I think they have a term of "Cat-fishing" for the lady that changed her appearance to look more beautiful. That was a wise move on your part to request a video chat, saved you a lot of time and money. I am surprised about the fact that woman you get a in a close relationship with, want you to send money monthly to their family. I guess that could be an Asian culture thing. Sounds like dating can be challenging no matter where you are in the world.
Hello Ben, thanks for telling me about the cat-fishing, I have not heard that before. Yes I am learning every place has its benefits and challenges when it come to dating. And if you are on a tight budget then sending money to the woman's family every month could be an issue.
Thai culture and some asian country culture is different. The family is always ranked first in their hearts. If your wife is the eldest daughter she have an even heavier responsibility. Some have the means to send abit of money to support their money after marriage but most don't. So it doesn't neccessarily mean that they are bad women. The reason most people advice you to befriend a good woman is to address this issue. But if you have the means and love her that much,giving some money imo isn't an issue. Now for those that want large sums of money periodically now these are the ones you need to avoid at all cost. If they can,real good women wouldn't want to ask money from their husband unless absolutely neccessary.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Yes i do sir. I'm Asian too so i understand what's this all about but it is a culture surprise to many. Even in Vietnam where there's more ladies than men, the eldest has the heaviest responsibility. And you can walk and see everywhere it's mostly the ladies working lol. Now it's the same principle in Thailand but its more open-minded plus corruption that we see many bars open and thus more ladies working in the same trade. To them its just for money and sex is pretty much open-minded here. Nevertheless many Isaan gals dream of having a rich bf and not working for sure. You just have to filter out the ones who have a decent job in a decent place.
Great info brother, sure it can be very different being in a foreign country. Adjusting to the culture is paramount to be happy and succeed. GOOD LUCK!!!
Hey Sean, I just came across your channel and I've subscribed. I'm from Canada and I left in May 2020 to travel for all the same reasons you left the USA. I had 3 stints in Thailand and spent 15 months total there, most of this time in Bangkok. I used Tinder for a little bit but I found it was almost all Ladyboys so I stopped using it. Nothing against Ladyboys because a lot of them are beautiful and nice people but it's just not my thing. I met a few different women, 1 from OkCupid and 2 from ThaiFriendly. When I met them all in person, 2 of the 3 didn't look the same as their photos either. Thai women love to use filter apps to try and make themselves look better. I ended up getting into a 1.5 year relationship with a Thai woman that just recently ended. Her English was decent compared to the average Thai person but there was definitely lots of communication issues. There was always a part of me that didn't fully trust her either. It's too bad because I think she was the best woman that I've ever been with. If I was ever going to pursue a Thai woman again, I would need to learn the Thai language. I'm back in Canada now for the next 2-3 months but then I'm looking to try somewhere new next. The Philippines is high on my radar, the 3 main reasons is almost everyone can speak and understand English, the visa situation would be easier for me and I always hear about how nice and friendly Filipino's are, I want to experience this for myself. Thanks for the video and I look forward to watching more videos and following your journey. Cheers
Guess I am a dinosaur but in my experience making a life for yourself, joining clubs, gyms, groups and doing anything which integrates you into normal life here in Thailand, has a better chance of leading to a relationship with someone you may have something in common with. If the main interest is looks, then stick with pay for play to scratch that itch, then when you meet someone more normal there is maybe a bit less of that horny desperation that tends to get guys in trouble. Learn the language take different kinds of classes and take your time here in Thailand. I was single in Bangkok for 20 years before I got married. That might be too slow for most but the idea is get a life first and then a lady. The other way around has so many ways of going wrong. Just some thoughts for someone who has a great life here in Thailand.
Hello my friend I want to say thanks for the great advice, You obviously have seen a few things if you have been in Thailand that long. I appreciate the wisdom :)
I am 63 my GF is 35. We chat multiple times a day and we visit in person twice a year for 3 weeks each time. She is in the Philippines and I am in the US. I do pay her living expenses and she works full time. She sends her parents money and gives her kids nice B-Day presents and they do have a lot of fun
I am Thai. In Thailand it is difficult for young girl will have long relationships with the old man both with Thai or foreigner except for the money. You cannot find the good girl in the tourist town like Pattana, Phuket or Soi Cowboy. You can find the good girl in the place like the big shopping mall like Icon Siam, Siam Paragon, or Central Chidlom. There are many educated girl there.
Hello my friend, I realize you are from this great country and you have a lot of knowledge about Thailand and the women here. So I appreciate you taking the time to share your wisdom. I think I should first learn the Thai language before I try to date Thai women as I see most nice Thai women do not speak English.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 I am 62 years old. I am single. I am very happy and freedom. I do not want to put my feelings depend on someone else’s. So I do not want the long term relationship with a woman. The short term relationship, you can find in the high end pub in Bangkok. They can speak English very well.
@@sonthikan Hello yes trusting someone else with your feelings is not always easy, especially if you have been hurt in the past. I have seen many short term beautiful women here. But I only stay in the tourist areas.
Ya I would say Thailand is humid most of the year, there is a 2 month winter where it did not feel as humid. But not everyday is crazy humid, But definitely count on sweating if you come to Thailand.
That’s where I am at now. Have an estate with a 4,200sq ft house, pool, orchards, vineyard, etc. I’m starting to get things lined up to sell it all and make the leap to Asia. Best of luck gents 👏
hey man, ive recently found a job where i can work from annywhere and ive came to like pattaya after a lot of youtube on some hotter climates. wondering how you went about finding an aparment down there.
Hello that is awesome you have the freedom to travel when you work. Having the freedom to go anywhere and do anything is an amazing feeling. To answer your question I was just going to stay in Pattaya for a few weeks so I was staying in a hotel, then I found an area by the beach I like and I started walking around to different condos just to see how much they charge and I found the deal of a lifetime so I took it. I recommend looking for a place when you get here. It is more expensive if you try to use American websites to get a place before you get here.
Sean, here’s a suggestion for your channel. Make your videos at least 10 minutes in length. 10 to 15 minutes in length means that TH-cam will rank the video and it can be placed higher when searched. Also 10 minutes or more gives more space for ads thus giving the possibility of ad revenue if that’s a goal. Perimeters are finicky on TH-cam. Cheers!
Great video man. You are putting out some solid content that is not the sexpats guide to Thailand but still includes really good information. Have you considered Chang Mai at all? I am moving this November when I turn 50 but I have not decided where in Asia I will be. I have spent time in the Philippines and Vietnam but have heavily considered Thailand as most of my work can be done online
Hello again, I really appreciate the kind words. yes I also have noticed many Thailand TH-camrs using sex to sell the their videos. I guess sex will always sell. I can not deny I use some pretty girls in my videos also but I try to have a point to my video rather than just showing half naked women. It is funny you bring up Chiang Mai because this will be my next city to explore. I am still exploring Phuket and I like it here, I have been here a lot longer than I planned because I still have many things I want to see. And I also plan to go to the Philippines soon. Vietnam is on my bucket list but that could be down the road. Congratulations on the future move, Keep my posted on your decision where to stay.
I neither had relationships with Thais nor Philippinas, but my impression (from knowing some on a friendly basis) is that Philippinas are much less scheming and money hungry and a lot more dedicated and family oriented.
I met my wife on Thai flirting.. I found this the best dating site for genuine people.. I'm the same as you I don't like the bar girls..but, horses for courses..all the best.
Wow, thank goodness you had a video chat before you drove over to meet her. Just be careful buddy. One other thing, as a former police officer, just a few tips. 1, if and when you go out to a bar,club or any “other” establishments…… Make sure you can see the bartender mix your drink, (ordering a bottle of beer would be best) ask them not to open the bottle same with buying a bottle of water. Make sure you open it to assure yourself nothing has been put in the beverage. 🙏🏼 2, never leave your drink unattended. God forbid they spike your drink….. 3, The ‘Lady-Boy’ situation, is a hard one,no pun intended…. Lol. That one, will be your toughest task. I don’t know how to make sure without a pat down task……🤷🏼♂️. Well good luck Shawn and i will be looking for your next video…..👍🏼 I think your best bet is making some friends and meeting some Nice girl through them. A girl that works at a Buisness office or even a nurse.
Nelson I want to thank you for the advice, I will for sure watch out for that. Yes I was going to rent a car and a hotel and I planned to spend a lot of money to go meet this woman, I am glad I found out before I got too far in. And as far as the ladyboys go, after awhile you see so many of them here you just get used to them, they are really harmless and usually they are honest if you ask them if they are a ladyboy. I think if I spoke Thai my dating life would be a lot easier here. I plan to take lessons. Thanks again my friend:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Be safe my friend, i know you have a heart of gold and are honestly looking for a good woman. Btw, whom ever she is, she would be very lucky. Take care brother. 👩🏻❤️👨🏼 ……. Lets hope
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 just wanted you know, i will be chipping in to your journey. Give me a chance to take care of some of my upgrades i have going on at the moment. But i do want to help you support your channel. I’m hoping someday somehow we get to meet and have some fun. 😉
Sorry for the "late" comment but, I'd like to sort something out for anyone coming to Thailand and wishing to date a Thai woman. It's not accepted in the culture but, expected that the younger generations support the ageing generations. I think your $300 a month is a bit low honestly. Many 20-30 Thai women have children that are being raised by their parents (they can't raise them because they are working). They not only have to send money back to care for the children but, the parents (and family) as well. If you meet a Thai woman and want to take her out of the "working" circle you will be expected to compensate the family for her financial loss. Even if she continues to work you will be hit with the "incidentals" ie; brother got in a car wreck and needs money for medical bills, there was a storm and the family home needs repair, sick buffalo etc. Having said all that: it's just different in S.E. Asia: "Same same but, different". Back home you would have to pay for your girlfriends hair, nails, shopping habits etc. Here you are expected to support her and her family.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 I enjoy the content, thank you for your contributions. I think the story about tinder is quite funny. The trust tender about as much as I trust the internet itself!
@@davidboston4136 David thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate that. I have to agree with you about tinder, I am learning there are a lot of scammers on tinder.
@@deannicholas I can confirm with friends $300 is a minimum. Generally it's more like $500 - $1000 depending on how many children the family is raising while the girl is of working.
I watched your videos for understanding about Thailand, your videos are helpful. you seems to be quite experienced. Thanks for thoughtful content This world needs thoughtful and meaningful people like you. Tinder is having many clever experienced girls, most of them are not worth it As they say Our minds calculates faster than it actually happens….. Definitely it’s going to happen in your life when you’re not looking for and when it’s least expected Have a great life
Captain Singh I am glad you like my videos, and thank you for the kind words. I agree about Tinder, I learned the hard way that many women on Tinder are not what they seem to be. Thanks again my friend:)
Subscribed not too long ago. Love your videos. You talk very politely. There are some youtubers use foul language. I stay away from them. Keep those videos coming. Thank you.
Your experience seems on point. I was there at the beginning of the 2000s. So no technology. Which means no cat fish filters. I was in Chiang Mai at the time. I'd recommend doing cooking classes, Thai massage classes ect. I'm not into Asian women for dating. So I did these activities to find all the European women. They are there for a good time as well 😊
Wow coming to Thailand must be an eye-open things to you. May be you should change the way you look for the girl. It’s hard to find the right woman in Tinder & Pattaya. One place that i would like to recommend is Chiang Mai, the northern province in Thailand.
Hello and thanks for the great advice, I do plan to go to Chiang Mai soon as I hear great things about it. First I will go to Phuket for a couple weeks. Cheers:)
Anyone that says with 100% certainty "i can always tell when it's a Ladyboy just by looking at them" has little to no experience with Ladyboys imo lol.
Warren I have to agree with you, I was actually one of those people because in the US it was easier to tell if they were a ladyboy because they usually just looked like a man with a wig. But in Thailand some of the ladyboys are impossible to tell the difference. I even see some ladyboys wearing a swimsuit and they have a woman's body.
Hello good question, I did have a small channel I made about 3 years ago, Only made a few videos when I was off work for surgery. That channel never took off like my new channel, but they are completely different. To be honest when I see other TH-camrs doing what I am doing I see many of them doing better than me, so I dont feel like I am popular, but I am still thankful for everything I have and everyones support.
Was in Pattaya in 2019, it's better if you want to party. My friend said Phuket is nice too. If your going to live and try and meet a decent woman Bangkok would be the place. You are 100% correct very hard to tell if the woman is a Ladyboy. Great video.
Sex tourism is a real thing. Your almost certainly unique in that you are not looking for a “wild women” in Thailand. Most older men go there specifically for the younger women. Love Thailand though, wonderful place with wonderful people. Safe travels.
Birdman thanks for the comment, yes I have heard many guys come to Thailand for wild women. For me I wanted to get out of my robotic life and travel and see different places and cultures before I get too old to enjoy it. This was my reason for coming to Thailand. And Thailand was just going to be a short visit, but I liked it here so decided to stay longer. But I will still be doing more travels. Thanks again:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 good for you man, most people do not have the courage or the will to take the steps you are. Continued success, enjoy Thailand for me my guy.
I just spent 5 months in Thailand and been back home in North America for 5 weeks and returning to Thailand in 3 days. I will agree with you if you are a single guy looking for a real relationship and not with a pay to play girl Bangkok is your best bet, and you get more options I was in Bangkok for a month and didn’t date a single Thai girl, many corporate type girls from China, Japan and Korea. Now I didn’t leave Bangkok because of the dating scene I left because I hated the city, it’s hot, dirty, noisy and crowded and expensive. I spent the last 4 months in Pattaya and the dating scene is completely different your choices are pretty much just Thai girls and if your using dating apps 1 out of a 100 is not a pay to play but I was lucky enough to find a account hence why I’m returning to Thailand.
Your observations and opinions are so much like mine. I have only been there 10 weeks in total. Another 5 weeks starting in February. Your opinion of ladyboys is right on too. Some of the most beautiful women I saw were ladyboys. And they are mostly very honest about it. They can be gorgeous and so feminine that you can easily forget the fact that they have the same part that you have. A Thai man's features are way more feminine than Western men and they really can become stunning women.
Hello, yes you are right, it is sometimes impossible to know if a woman in Thailand is actually a woman based on their looks. Many times you can tell by their voice but not always. And another thing is many ladyboys in Thailand are actually Transgender, which means they dont have the male parts anymore but they are still a man in my book. Sometimes if you ask a Ladyboy/transgender if they are a ladyboy they will say no because they dont have the man parts anymore. So it is a good idea to ask if they are ladyboy or transgender, if this matters to you.
Having collectively been in thailand about 5 years and now retired here the most important lesson I've learnt is you never buy anything in thailand only rent and that especially goes for women😊
Did you explore the culture of Mia noi or minor wives in Thailand? They can offer companionship and emotional support, as well as help with household duties such as cooking and cleaning. You can have a great life without Sin Sod. In addition, some mia noi are able to bring financial stability into a relationship by contributing financially.
Love the videos, quick question. I've heard you say Bangkok is the place to be if you're single, right? Well you're single 😂 what are you doing in Patteya then? Are you just not a fan of how busy Bangkok is?
Hello, great question, When I first came to Thailand I stayed the first month in hotels in Bangkok and I loved Bangkok, But I planned to travel all over Thailand, Then when I came to see Pattaya I found my condo with an ocean view for dirt cheap, and it has alway been my dream to live by the ocean, and Bangkok is not by the ocean. I had to get a year lease for the best price for my condo So I got the year lease, I do like Pattaya and Pattaya is a lot cheaper than Bangkok for housing, food and most everything else. But the dating life for a single man in Pattaya is not nearly as good as Bangkok.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Thanks for the quick reply, seems like you're living the dream, great job!!! So I'm guessing you retired when you sold everything and moved there?
Jim good questions, I rarely see any expat or single western ladies here, I do see a lot of beautiful Russian women, there are a lot of Russians in Thailand.
Are you out of your mind? Why would you want to date any western woman when you are in Thailand? Why would you want to date any western woman at all? I have a joke for you. Why did the guy keep hitting himself repeatedly and mercilessly in the head with a hammer? Because it felt so good when he stopped.
Enjoyed your insightful video! I've been together with my girlfriend for over 2 years. We met on Tinder (believe it or not) in Chiang Mai and we've been together through good times and bad. She doesn't care if I'm rich or poor. She's a keeper for sure! 🥰
Hello and thanks for the questions, no I am still dating but nothing serious yet. again I find the language barrier to be an issue when dating. I recommend using google flights, this is what I use to fly. Prices always change. I did make a budget video showing my expenses in Thailand. here is the link.. th-cam.com/video/ejrHKJ-CfCo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing your dating experience. Never been there. what with the lady boys & women using face filters, this is very deceiving. while being approached & looked at in street is flattering for western males, seems there is always an ulterior motive - professionals after your money. even with normal girlfriends or genuine dates, expecting money for their family is common practice & doesn’t go over well with me, but seems that is their well-ingrained custom. sure their families may be poor but still no excuse. All you can expect in Thailand are bar girls & free lancers. Even Tinder is full of scammers. if you are old & seeking a younger girl, you can definitely expect to pay. cheap prostitution is normalised for western tourists & has been a way of life for decades. Go there for the food, beaches, health care & scenery, but not the women. that’s the message i’m getting.
Yes, realize when you’re a man and you get older, you don’t lose your traction younger women. Western Society shames you or you have no dating opportunity in the west unless you’re very wealthy or Leonardo DiCaprio It’s a dating game changer in Southeast Asia, parts of Europe , Mexico and South America! 💯
sounds like i need to leave the USA and head to SE Asia or latin America. Although SE Asian women are more my type bein pe-tight. Although Colombian, Venezuelan and Argentinian women look damn good too.
Apply common sense and not lust to your decision making process, and keep in mind that every woman you meet will have (or claim to have) “sick” parents somewhere out in the boonies. In Thailand and many other poor countries sick means old. They don’t have common pension funds so it’s not always out of bad will but their parents need to eat. Marrying a farang (any foreign man) is considered a career move which will fund property investments galore. And as you know, there is no limit to how much land and property you can buy. Unfortunately, foreigners are not allowed to own land, so she will have to be the sole owner. This will allow her to leave you with all the property you thought was yours - and as she likely promised you. Money can buy comfort and convenience but never buy love. Be safe and be smart.
Be aware, filters can now apply to live video also. Men have a rapidly decreasing chance of actually seeing who they're chatting to. Also note real time 'teen' filters are now in use making 70 year olds look 18! And then there's AI generated women😮
Hi from New Zealand. Ima coming over this year and I shall be in touch before I arrive as I would like to hook up for a drink, coffee or booze, no difference to me. I also have other guys who have a channel there, who I wish to hook up with as well. Perhaps we could have an 'Influencer' hook up, where you guys can finally meet one another, swap notes and etc. Influencer, thats what they call guys with a channel who has an obvious popular channel.😇
In addition to everything said in this video, I, a guy who has been in Thailand for 5 months now, would like to add the following. The pros of dating Thai girls is that it is super easy. Thai girls are approachable and if you are respectful, you can practically have a date every day of the week (yes, this includes naughty "dates" too). Thai girls are generally very affectionate. They will not always display this in public, but if you get them alone... o boy... prepare for heaven. 😛 The cons are that you will pay for everything and you will soon be expected to hand over some money for her family too. I understand the culture of 'taking care of each other', but I loathe it as well, because as a 'farang', you really start to feel like a walking ATM machine. It makes me feel disrespected. Also know that Thai girls are VERY jealous and can snap at any given time, for no real reason. Because you are a foreigner, they automatically assume you have 'many ladies' (prepare yourself to be ghosted, just like that). Lastly, Thai girls lie. A lot. Don't think you are the only one. I had several Thai girls who already had foreign and Thai boyfriends. They expect YOU to be faithful, but they cheat all the time. Just check their social media. It's common for Thai girls to have several Facebook and Instagram accounts (one for you, one for their boyfriend and one for their family, in which they portray themselves as "innocent"). I do disagree with Bangkok being better than Pattaya for a single guy, but it comes down to preference and what you are looking for, of course. Bangkok is really hectic and Pattaya is more relaxed. The most beautiful girls I found in Pattaya. Granted, it's full of prostitutes too, but still... I prefer it over Bangkok (the air is better too... just don't go into the water, lol).
They are so money hungry that turns me off. Luckily due to this, I must be the only guy flaccid in Thailand. Farangs think Im crazy for Eschewing prostitution. They get mad at me for saying "prostitution" too. It is what it is.
It's unclean and polluted, @@edwelsh9035. Thai people will tell you this as well. How bad exactly? That I don't know. Apparently, the water near Jomtiem is better, but I wouldn't know, as I spent almost the entire time in South Pattaya.
Lol we are screwed when that happens. I really do not know why anyone would use filters knowing they will someday have to meet the person they like and then explain why they look like a different person.
Lol no if you look at the dates I made my first channel 2 years ago when I was stuck at home after surgery. Most of those videos are older and I have only added one video to this Chanel in the last 2 years.. If you have watched my second Chanel you will see it is about me documenting my life now after quitting my job and selling my house to chase my dream of travel.
I thought catfishing was bad in the west, the Thai women have brought it to a new level. That said, dating in Thailand is far superior to dealing with western women hands down.
Hello most of the western expats I have seen here are older single men or men who married a Thai woman. If I do see an attractive woman who is not Thai they are usually from Russia or another country. On rare occasion I will see a single female expat from the US and they are also usually older than what I am interested in.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 In Mexico I think you'd meet plenty of single western expats your age or younger in the bigger Expat towns. Maybe look in the Facebook groups and see what kinds of meetups are on offer for Expats there? Or, of course, there would be kind of 'western hangouts' in restaurants/bars for Expats there in different areas. Also 'cooking' classes might attract a few?
@@blondetruther I would like to first thank you for trying to help me with your advice. I do appreciate that. Yes I have been to Mexico and I like parts of Mexico but the crime is the thing that is keeping me from wanting to stay there. My car rental was broken into and burglarized last time I was there. I will checkout those places you recommend, thanks:)
Hello and thanks for the comment, I did mention in my video I came to Thailand because I wanted to travel and experience a different life and culture, I did not come here only to look for women. But as any single man would do, I still want to date and find love anywhere I decide to go, whether it be in Thailand or any other country I go to.
Hey Jasper, thank you my friend, I actually checked out your channel and I subscribed, you have some good videos. I do plan to eventually go to the Philippines hopefully later this year. And I agree, I can usually hear a ladyboys voice and know. I am curious, they have a lot of ladyboys in the Philippines also?
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 yes, sir they certainly do have alot here. A little easier to spot than the thai ones. but as a man that dated a Thai girl for years, I can tell you that Filipinas are better If you’re looking for a real relationship. Yeah I’m currently living in Boracay. Thank you for subscribing pretty sure I’m already subscribed to you. I appreciate your honesty and opening up about how it is dating in Thailand. A lot of people don’t share their personal experiences. Video calls are a must because looks matter to us guys quite a bit. Come to boracay bro.
Hello, There are a lot of Russian women in Thailand, but I rarely see any single western women in Thailand. But I think if you came to thailand you would definately see many Thai women you would like. Thailand has many beautiful women.
@@ceeIoc To be honest I do not see a lot of western women here. And most of the ones I do see are with a guy. Finding an attractive single western woman in Thailand is rare.
Keep the content coming. Appreciate it. Many people want to do what you’ve done but don’t want to take the risk
Ray, the risk is all imaginary. I moved to Colombia about 5 years ago, dated about two dozen women and found the girl of my dreams. The risk is in remaining stationary without planning a trip.
Thanks Ray, I will admit that the actual actions of taking the risk and making it happen are the hard part.
Dan I have to say I like what you wrote here, good stuff buddy:)
Thanks for your very interesting and well-done work in Thailand. I'm learning Thai now, including the challenging script, so your stuff is great motivation. Much appreciated.🌴
Hey thanks for the gift, I appreciate your generosity and I am glad you are motivated by my videos :)
I just found your channel and watched two videos and have subscribed. Your presentations are very well done. I completely agree with you regarding the comparison between the women of Bangkok and Pattaya. I hope you are as lucky as I have been in finding happiness in Thailand.
Thanks Geoffrey I appreciate that, and thanks for watching my videos. It sounds like you have found the love of your life here. Good for you. I think it would be a lot easier if I spoke Thai. Thanks again:)
I love this because you're being respectful and honest. Many guys would just paint all Thai women as bad bad but you're honest and I dig that. Keep it up👍🏾
Thanks Jay, I appreciate that:)
So are you travelling to the other South East Asian countries? Philippines is the obvious choice, especially being American and less language issues! Take your time, I’am 70 now and been to over 60 countries, enjoying my life since being divorced at 48. Am finally in a long term relationship with a Thai lady for 3 years, so far so good!
Roy I like your comment, It sounds like you have lived the life I am just now trying to live. Good to hear you found a great woman. Yes I do plan to see the Philippines and also Malaysia and Vietnam. I believe I will try to go see the Philippines later this year.
Wow dude, I just came back from my 1st trip to Thailand a week ago and boy did a get a front row seat to see how crazy Thai women can be. I mean like next level crazy. I'm a high level quadriplegic, and I went with my bro for 6 weeks. Stayed in Bangkok for about 5 Days Then Stayed in Pattaya, close to the beach on Pra Tam Nak 5 at the tip of Jomtien Beach. Felt alive for the 1st time in YEARS. As a quad, back home, women have 0 interest in me. Holy shit did that that change their. I was totally shocked. To make a very long story very short, (and it's an amazing story.. Or at least I think so) I had to hire a care worker to help me with my day-to-day routine. She was amazing. Then one day, to my great surprise, we hooked up. It only took one week before everything started to go downhill and I now, I can honestly say I have a black belt in understanding how jealous and how crazy Thai women are. Anyways, I fell in love with the place so much, I'm interested in opening a small destination for other people with disabilities like me that can solve all the barriers to travel in Pattaya. Such as care workers, accessible apartments etc. Because there's no way that would have happened without my brother's help and paying probably more than double what a regular person has to pay to travel down there. So hopefully I can make it a lot more affordable as well just plain old possible for other quads to come experience the place. Anyways, love the name of the channel because that was pretty much my inspiration for coming to Thailand in the 1st place. And boy did I actually feel alive. And that's why I want to come back and share it with others who definitely deserve it, but may be impossible to do on their own.
Wow Aaron, this is an amazing story, thank you for sharing this. It sounds like you had the time of your life in Thailand. I am glad to hear this. I think starting your own foundation for other people with disabilities is a great idea, I am sure if you start a website you can get a lot of people to join the cause. Including me. Keep me posted my friend, I would like to hear from you again:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 for sure! I only got back 2 weeks ago so I'm just starting to put the pieces together. Too bad I didn't run into you while I was there. It looks like I was literally around the corner from where you are living right now. I LOVE that area. I'll keep you posted on any progress. Keep up the good content and living the good life.
@@aaroncoret Thanks Aaron, If you dont mind I would like to post your Comment on TH-cam, This is such a great comment.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 yeah dude, that we awesome. What exactly did you have in mind? What you mean by post it on TH-cam? On another subject, maybe we should chat sometime. I feel like we have a lot in common. And I'd love to learn more about your TH-cam journey. I also think you might be able to help me with the project I'm working on. If you're interested. Drop me a line. Or, how do we connect without giving our contact information out directly on the Internet here LOL?
@@aaroncoret Hey Aaron I have my email in the description box, contact me there:)
You are one of the most Generous and realistic person i have seen in my life. keep up the good work. It really requires a lot of guts to move out of your comfort zone and live the life you always wanted to. whenever i will visit Pattaya i will surely want to meet you in person. Be happy always. Love from India.
Hello Anant I want to thank you for the great comment. I really do appreciate your kind words.
Yes I will admit leaving my comfort zone was not easy for me to do, but I was not living my life, I was only surviving or existing. I have not regrets on my decision. I would be glad to meet you when you get to Thailand. Cheers:)
Travel to Philippines and you would be amazed. The women are so friendly and they don’t mind the age difference and they all speak English.
Hey Rick thanks for the knowledge, I definitely plan to see the Philippines soon. It is funny most people either love or hate the Philippines.
Catfishing is everywhere.... That is unfortunate. Thats why coffee and coffee only, should be the first time you meet a girl for dating in any part of the world. But you are right... video chat first, then coffee. I met a girl online who lives in the Philippines a while back. It was a travrl destination plan, but i changed my mind. She still contacts me now and then. We fell out over the money thing for her family; without even being in a relationship of any kind. Took me time to adjust, but its just part of their culture. if you get to see the home lives of some of these families, you'd understand the motivation to do that.... Great content by the way.
Hello and thanks for sharing your experience, I did not know they do the money thing for the families in the Philippines like they do in Thailand. Thanks for watching:)
I'm curious as to why you haven't been to Chang Mei yet? That's all I hear about from Americans and Europeon. This was a very necessary video for me, Thank you! When you said many use filters and Language barrier , this has caused me to pause my move there.
Hello Joe, I am glad you liked my video. I have also heard great things about Chiang Mai, I will be going to Phuket first for a few weeks and then I will be going to Chiang Mai. First I am trying to finish doing my taxes and then I will plan my trip. Thanks again:)
Just joined your channel also shared with my friends, im from nyc been going thailand over 20yrs, just left last week after 45 days pattaya,
You are correct about these women using all kinds of filters on there pics and videos, also many using pics from 10 yrs ago or more, always a must to do face to face on line app. Best of luck with your channel and your future, will be talking much more, ROCCO
Rick thanks my friend, I appreciate that. It sounds like you have a lot of experience here in Thailand. Yes I am not sure why anyone would use filters or old pictures. especially if they do meet in person they know the other person will be shocked to see a different face.
Try and meet the ladies with normal jobs in pattaya,like the ones who work in a bank or restaurant or hotel receptions or clothing store's etc
Hello and thanks for the advice:)
A lot of them do the same stuff, but I agree that's where you'll have more luck just be careful with them too.
@@Dan-hz5tg Dan thanks for the comment:)
Agree. Bar girls are not serious relationship material.
@@titi7776 Yes I agree, I have heard about many men who have tried to get serious with bar girls and it never turned out out good.
Thailand has some wonderful qualities and Thai people seem friendly and gracious. But, you need to realize their culture is quite different from US. They are very committed to parents and they live more in the present than Westerners. I've lived in several Asian countries and noticed more difficulties with Thai/American marriages than other Asian/US marriages. These Americans say their Thai wives did not value the past service, commitments compared to 'what are you doing for me today"? That's very hard for Westerners to understand. I'd try to find women working in business that speaks English instead of just trying to find a 'beautiful' girl.
Hello Richard I want to thank you for sharing your experience. I have heard some people say good and bad things about being with Thai women. But I guess the same can be said for women everywhere. I am enjoying the learning process. And I am not looking for just looks in a woman, I am looking for someone who I am attracted to and can get along with and who will be faithful, and of course someone I can speak the same language with, which is my biggest issue so far here. I am taking Thai language lessons
This is simply female nature, but on show, men finaly realise it's global. Just be aware, knowledge is key.
@@MrFrobbo Thanks for the comment:)
Hi Sean, thanks for sharing your experience. I am on my long way to Thailand this year, finally want to dive in and discover what seems paradise for me. It is very helpful to hear some real info from your side. I am still not sure whether to go the "Bangkok road" or simply start in Pattaya. Pattaya, or Jomtien, seem much more like a calm place to get things sorted out and start discovering. Bangkok is huge and hard to get settled. If you don't mind i'll get in touch with you later this year and buy you a beer. wish you all the best for your channel, and stay safe and healthy, and enjoy everything!
Thank you my friend, That is awesome you coming down to Checkout Thailand, I am sure you will love it here. I will say the airport is in Bangkok so it might be easier to start in Bangkok and go from there. That is what I did, and I guess I am still doing as I will be traveling more around Thailand. Keep me posted:)
Hello my friend, it really depends on what your priorities are as far as choosing Bangkok or Pattaya. keep me posted:)
well done Brother, you're getting much more natural at this video thing.
i have heard about that video filter, its wild!
Hello and thanks, yes it takes me awhile to get used to talking to a camera like it is a person. But I am enjoying the process.
Hey Sean … glad you will start traveling within Thailand soon. I have had great times in Chiang Mai as well as Phuket and I can’t wait to get back to Thailand again
Hey Bradley, yes I am looking forward to seeing more of Thailand. I also hear great things about Koi Somet and a few other place I would like to see.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Yes i have never been to Koh Samet but it does appeal to me because it looks like a lovely Beach destination and it does not require you to jump on a Plane if you are in Bangkok or Pattaya/Jomtien area
Great video, love the honesty, thanks for the tips on the video/picture filters. I'm looking to start traveling in Asia in the next year or two, trying to do as much research as possible, really enjoy your video's. Keepem coming
Peter I appreciate that buddy. Definitely do your research. There is a lot to learn and I am still learning everyday. Thanks for watching:)
I like you and have the same taste in women so I appreciate your honest opinion and experiences. I don’t plan to permanently move to Thailand but I what I hope to do is spend three months out of the year there once I’m fully retired. Like you, I wouldn’t mind finding a nice woman to share my life with, but I guess we’ll see. After trying dating apps here in the States, I wouldn’t trust them there either. Thanks again for your video!
Emilio thanks for the great comment and I am glad you liked my video. It sounds like you have a good plan after you retire. good luck my friend:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Thanks, appreciate it! I will reach out if I have any questions, if that’s okay.
Im becoming a fan. Keep being honest and i hope you succeed 😁
Thanks William, I appreciate that buddy:)
Sean it's Ronnie, big fan brother. Keep up the good work my friend. See you .
Hello Ronnie thanks for the cool comment, I am glad you like my videos, Cheers my friend:)
No problem. I just learned that stuff recently. Thought I’d pass it along.
Thanks for making such an authentic and sincere video about the dating experience in Thailand as comapred tot he hundreds of videos out there that just focus on the beer bars/gogo girls.
Hello I appreciate the comment, yes most people know that sex sells and this is why a lot of people use this to get views. TH-cam is now getting more strict about the subject on your videos and they will not monetize videos if there is anything they consider inappropriate. You can still post those videos but they will not pay you for them.
Hi Sean, interesting video about your dating experiences in Thailand. I think they have a term of "Cat-fishing" for the lady that changed her appearance to look more beautiful. That was a wise move on your part to request a video chat, saved you a lot of time and money. I am surprised about the fact that woman you get a in a close relationship with, want you to send money monthly to their family. I guess that could be an Asian culture thing. Sounds like dating can be challenging no matter where you are in the world.
Hello Ben, thanks for telling me about the cat-fishing, I have not heard that before. Yes I am learning every place has its benefits and challenges when it come to dating. And if you are on a tight budget then sending money to the woman's family every month could be an issue.
Thai culture and some asian country culture is different. The family is always ranked first in their hearts. If your wife is the eldest daughter she have an even heavier responsibility. Some have the means to send abit of money to support their money after marriage but most don't. So it doesn't neccessarily mean that they are bad women. The reason most people advice you to befriend a good woman is to address this issue. But if you have the means and love her that much,giving some money imo isn't an issue. Now for those that want large sums of money periodically now these are the ones you need to avoid at all cost. If they can,real good women wouldn't want to ask money from their husband unless absolutely neccessary.
@@kenji4596 Kenji thanks for sharing the wisdom my friend, it sounds like you have some experience with this.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Yes i do sir. I'm Asian too so i understand what's this all about but it is a culture surprise to many. Even in Vietnam where there's more ladies than men, the eldest has the heaviest responsibility. And you can walk and see everywhere it's mostly the ladies working lol. Now it's the same principle in Thailand but its more open-minded plus corruption that we see many bars open and thus more ladies working in the same trade. To them its just for money and sex is pretty much open-minded here. Nevertheless many Isaan gals dream of having a rich bf and not working for sure. You just have to filter out the ones who have a decent job in a decent place.
Great info brother, sure it can be very different being in a foreign country. Adjusting to the culture is paramount to be happy and succeed. GOOD LUCK!!!
hello and thanks for the comment;)
My biggest dream is to move there and make so many videos and write new poems..you made the right decision happy 4 u ..enjoy your life my friend 🎉
Hello and thank you, if I can do it you can do it. good luck:)
Appreciate the content man, keep em coming.
Thanks Daniel:)
Hey Sean, I just came across your channel and I've subscribed. I'm from Canada and I left in May 2020 to travel for all the same reasons you left the USA. I had 3 stints in Thailand and spent 15 months total there, most of this time in Bangkok. I used Tinder for a little bit but I found it was almost all Ladyboys so I stopped using it. Nothing against Ladyboys because a lot of them are beautiful and nice people but it's just not my thing. I met a few different women, 1 from OkCupid and 2 from ThaiFriendly. When I met them all in person, 2 of the 3 didn't look the same as their photos either. Thai women love to use filter apps to try and make themselves look better. I ended up getting into a 1.5 year relationship with a Thai woman that just recently ended. Her English was decent compared to the average Thai person but there was definitely lots of communication issues. There was always a part of me that didn't fully trust her either. It's too bad because I think she was the best woman that I've ever been with. If I was ever going to pursue a Thai woman again, I would need to learn the Thai language. I'm back in Canada now for the next 2-3 months but then I'm looking to try somewhere new next. The Philippines is high on my radar, the 3 main reasons is almost everyone can speak and understand English, the visa situation would be easier for me and I always hear about how nice and friendly Filipino's are, I want to experience this for myself. Thanks for the video and I look forward to watching more videos and following your journey. Cheers
Guess I am a dinosaur but in my experience making a life for yourself, joining clubs, gyms, groups and doing anything which integrates you into normal life here in Thailand, has a better chance of leading to a relationship with someone you may have something in common with. If the main interest is looks, then stick with pay for play to scratch that itch, then when you meet someone more normal there is maybe a bit less of that horny desperation that tends to get guys in trouble. Learn the language take different kinds of classes and take your time here in Thailand. I was single in Bangkok for 20 years before I got married. That might be too slow for most but the idea is get a life first and then a lady. The other way around has so many ways of going wrong. Just some thoughts for someone who has a great life here in Thailand.
Hello my friend I want to say thanks for the great advice, You obviously have seen a few things if you have been in Thailand that long. I appreciate the wisdom :)
interesting on the camera filter issue.
Thanks for watching:)
Love your videos man, you have done really well in 4 months,keep safe and I hope you get loads of subscribers.Good Irish ☘️ luck to you.
Robert Thanks for well wishes. I am also Irish, still trying to find my lucky charm:)
I am 63 my GF is 35. We chat multiple times a day and we visit in person twice a year for 3 weeks each time. She is in the Philippines and I am in the US. I do pay her living expenses and she works full time. She sends her parents money and gives her kids nice B-Day presents and they do have a lot of fun
Doug you sound like a good man, it is great you are helping your girlfriend and her family the Philippines. I plan to go there soon.
I am Thai. In Thailand it is difficult for young girl will have long relationships with the old man both with Thai or foreigner except for the money. You cannot find the good girl in the tourist town like Pattana, Phuket or Soi Cowboy. You can find the good girl in the place like the big shopping mall like Icon Siam, Siam Paragon, or Central Chidlom. There are many educated girl there.
Hello my friend, I realize you are from this great country and you have a lot of knowledge about Thailand and the women here. So I appreciate you taking the time to share your wisdom. I think I should first learn the Thai language before I try to date Thai women as I see most nice Thai women do not speak English.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 I am 62 years old. I am single. I am very happy and freedom. I do not want to put my feelings depend on someone else’s. So I do not want the long term relationship with a woman. The short term relationship, you can find in the high end pub in Bangkok. They can speak English very well.
@@sonthikan Hello yes trusting someone else with your feelings is not always easy, especially if you have been hurt in the past. I have seen many short term beautiful women here. But I only stay in the tourist areas.
Thinking about checking out Thailand. Is it pretty humid there, or humid certain times of the year?
Ya I would say Thailand is humid most of the year, there is a 2 month winter where it did not feel as humid. But not everyday is crazy humid, But definitely count on sweating if you come to Thailand.
I just watched your fist video, and I can say that you look now much better, but still needs some time for full recovery. Wish you all the best.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate that:)
Thank you for the info. Great video
Glad it was helpful!
great video on a potentially volatile topic. you handled it well.
I appreciate that!
That’s where I am at now. Have an estate with a 4,200sq ft house, pool, orchards, vineyard, etc.
I’m starting to get things lined up to sell it all and make the leap to Asia.
Best of luck gents
👏
It sounds like you will have a good chunk of money after you sell your house. This will help you a lot when you make the leap. Good Luck
Keep the info coming. You are a beast
Kareem I appreciate that my friend:)
Hey mate love the channel. Are you planning on working at all while your OS?
Thanks Alex, no I do not plan on working anymore, just making videos now.
Are you still in Pattaya? I have been going back and forth that and Bangkok. I love your condo
Hello and thank you, I am actually in Bangkok and Pattaya,
good video man! the same thing happened to me.
Elvin thanks buddy, ya it was defiantly a learning lesson.
Totally relate with much of what you talked about bru
Hello and thank you:)
hey man, ive recently found a job where i can work from annywhere and ive came to like pattaya after a lot of youtube on some hotter climates. wondering how you went about finding an aparment down there.
Hello that is awesome you have the freedom to travel when you work. Having the freedom to go anywhere and do anything is an amazing feeling. To answer your question I was just going to stay in Pattaya for a few weeks so I was staying in a hotel, then I found an area by the beach I like and I started walking around to different condos just to see how much they charge and I found the deal of a lifetime so I took it. I recommend looking for a place when you get here. It is more expensive if you try to use American websites to get a place before you get here.
Sean, here’s a suggestion for your channel. Make your videos at least 10 minutes in length. 10 to 15 minutes in length means that TH-cam will rank the video and it can be placed higher when searched. Also 10 minutes or more gives more space for ads thus giving the possibility of ad revenue if that’s a goal. Perimeters are finicky on TH-cam. Cheers!
Peter thank you for this information, it looks like I just barely missed the 10 minute mark on this video. I will remember that in the future.
Where's the link for the wild women video ?
Love you Chanel...love you honest talk.......❤
Hello my friend it is always good to hear from you. Thanks for watching:)
Great video man. You are putting out some solid content that is not the sexpats guide to Thailand but still includes really good information. Have you considered Chang Mai at all? I am moving this November when I turn 50 but I have not decided where in Asia I will be. I have spent time in the Philippines and Vietnam but have heavily considered Thailand as most of my work can be done online
Hello again, I really appreciate the kind words. yes I also have noticed many Thailand TH-camrs using sex to sell the their videos. I guess sex will always sell. I can not deny I use some pretty girls in my videos also but I try to have a point to my video rather than just showing half naked women. It is funny you bring up Chiang Mai because this will be my next city to explore. I am still exploring Phuket and I like it here, I have been here a lot longer than I planned because I still have many things I want to see. And I also plan to go to the Philippines soon. Vietnam is on my bucket list but that could be down the road. Congratulations on the future move, Keep my posted on your decision where to stay.
I neither had relationships with Thais nor Philippinas, but my impression (from knowing some on a friendly basis) is that Philippinas are much less scheming and money hungry and a lot more dedicated and family oriented.
@@vondahe Thanks for the comment
Spot on video!
Vince thanks buddy:)
I met my wife on Thai flirting.. I found this the best dating site for genuine people.. I'm the same as you I don't like the bar girls..but, horses for courses..all the best.
Jim thanks for the advice, I will check it out.:)
Wow, thank goodness you had a video chat before you drove over to meet her. Just be careful buddy.
One other thing, as a former police officer, just a few tips.
1, if and when you go out to a bar,club or any “other” establishments…… Make sure you can see the bartender mix your drink, (ordering a bottle of beer would be best) ask them not to open the bottle same with buying a bottle of water. Make sure you open it to assure yourself nothing has been put in the beverage. 🙏🏼
2, never leave your drink unattended. God forbid they spike your drink…..
3, The ‘Lady-Boy’ situation, is a hard one,no pun intended…. Lol. That one, will be your toughest task. I don’t know how to make sure without a pat down task……🤷🏼♂️.
Well good luck Shawn and i will be looking for your next video…..👍🏼
I think your best bet is making some friends and meeting some Nice girl through them. A girl that works at a Buisness office or even a nurse.
Nelson I want to thank you for the advice, I will for sure watch out for that. Yes I was going to rent a car and a hotel and I planned to spend a lot of money to go meet this woman, I am glad I found out before I got too far in. And as far as the ladyboys go, after awhile you see so many of them here you just get used to them, they are really harmless and usually they are honest if you ask them if they are a ladyboy. I think if I spoke Thai my dating life would be a lot easier here. I plan to take lessons. Thanks again my friend:)

Greggson thanks my friend, I appreciate that. yes I was surprised to see my video on his channel, he has a great channel.
Video chats are a must
I learned my lesson:)
Sorry for the "late" comment but, I'd like to sort something out for anyone coming to Thailand and wishing to date a Thai woman. It's not accepted in the culture but, expected that the younger generations support the ageing generations. I think your $300 a month is a bit low honestly. Many 20-30 Thai women have children that are being raised by their parents (they can't raise them because they are working). They not only have to send money back to care for the children but, the parents (and family) as well. If you meet a Thai woman and want to take her out of the "working" circle you will be expected to compensate the family for her financial loss. Even if she continues to work you will be hit with the "incidentals" ie; brother got in a car wreck and needs money for medical bills, there was a storm and the family home needs repair, sick buffalo etc. Having said all that: it's just different in S.E. Asia:
"Same same but, different". Back home you would have to pay for your girlfriends hair, nails, shopping habits etc. Here you are expected to support her and her family.
David what you said makes sense, it is true you will always be spending a lot of money in any relationship. thanks for the comment:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 I enjoy the content, thank you for your contributions. I think the story about tinder is quite funny. The trust tender about as much as I trust the internet itself!
@@davidboston4136 David thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate that. I have to agree with you about tinder, I am learning there are a lot of scammers on tinder.
@@deannicholas I can confirm with friends $300 is a minimum. Generally it's more like $500 - $1000 depending on how many children the family is raising while the girl is of working.
filters ? oh boy heading to Thailand soon
How are you dealing with the visa to stay?, i thought you cant stay longer then 30 days without extending for another 30days or fly out and fly back?
They have many different kinds of long term visas, I recommend talking to a visa agency to find one that fits your situation.
I watched your videos for understanding about Thailand, your videos are helpful. you seems to be quite experienced. Thanks for thoughtful content This world needs thoughtful and meaningful people like you.
Tinder is having many clever experienced girls, most of them are not worth it
As they say
Our minds calculates faster than it actually happens….. Definitely it’s going to happen in your life when you’re not looking for and when it’s least expected
Have a great life
Captain Singh I am glad you like my videos, and thank you for the kind words. I agree about Tinder, I learned the hard way that many women on Tinder are not what they seem to be. Thanks again my friend:)
Subscribed not too long ago. Love your videos. You talk very politely. There are some youtubers use foul language. I stay away from them. Keep those videos coming. Thank you.
Jong thank you my friend, yes I think it is just as easy to get the point across without being vulgar. thanks again:)
so do you pay salary for all girlfriends youhave had
Your experience seems on point. I was there at the beginning of the 2000s. So no technology. Which means no cat fish filters. I was in Chiang Mai at the time. I'd recommend doing cooking classes, Thai massage classes ect. I'm not into Asian women for dating. So I did these activities to find all the European women. They are there for a good time as well 😊
Hello and thanks for the great advice, there are definitely a lot of beautiful European and Russian women here. Especially in the area I am staying.
This is actually safer. I found Chiang Mai people to be more down to earth
Wow coming to Thailand must be an eye-open things to you. May be you should change the way you look for the girl. It’s hard to find the right woman in Tinder & Pattaya. One place that i would like to recommend is Chiang Mai, the northern province in Thailand.
Hello and thanks for the great advice, I do plan to go to Chiang Mai soon as I hear great things about it. First I will go to Phuket for a couple weeks. Cheers:)
Nonsense. CM is a terrible place for that kind of thing.
@@baltazarbrick4521 Thanks for the comment:)
Anyone that says with 100% certainty "i can always tell when it's a Ladyboy just by looking at them" has little to no experience with Ladyboys imo lol.
Warren I have to agree with you, I was actually one of those people because in the US it was easier to tell if they were a ladyboy because they usually just looked like a man with a wig. But in Thailand some of the ladyboys are impossible to tell the difference. I even see some ladyboys wearing a swimsuit and they have a woman's body.
Were you a content creator before moving? what is it like becoming so popular on TH-cam and what was that journey like? all the best.
Hello good question, I did have a small channel I made about 3 years ago, Only made a few videos when I was off work for surgery. That channel never took off like my new channel, but they are completely different. To be honest when I see other TH-camrs doing what I am doing I see many of them doing better than me, so I dont feel like I am popular, but I am still thankful for everything I have and everyones support.
are you willing to share more personal info about yourself? age? what was your job/salary in usa and what state you lived in?
Was in Pattaya in 2019, it's better if you want to party. My friend said Phuket is nice too. If your going to live and try and meet a decent woman Bangkok would be the place. You are 100% correct very hard to tell if the woman is a Ladyboy. Great video.
hello and thanks for the comment:)
I absolutely HATE online dating because of the fake pictures, and now filters. Smh.
I learned this the hard way, those filters can make a any woman a beauty queen:0
Sex tourism is a real thing. Your almost certainly unique in that you are not looking for a “wild women” in Thailand. Most older men go there specifically for the younger women. Love Thailand though, wonderful place with wonderful people. Safe travels.
Birdman thanks for the comment, yes I have heard many guys come to Thailand for wild women. For me I wanted to get out of my robotic life and travel and see different places and cultures before I get too old to enjoy it. This was my reason for coming to Thailand. And Thailand was just going to be a short visit, but I liked it here so decided to stay longer. But I will still be doing more travels. Thanks again:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 good for you man, most people do not have the courage or the will to take the steps you are. Continued success, enjoy Thailand for me my guy.
I just spent 5 months in Thailand and been back home in North America for 5 weeks and returning to Thailand in 3 days. I will agree with you if you are a single guy looking for a real relationship and not with a pay to play girl Bangkok is your best bet, and you get more options I was in Bangkok for a month and didn’t date a single Thai girl, many corporate type girls from China, Japan and Korea. Now I didn’t leave Bangkok because of the dating scene I left because I hated the city, it’s hot, dirty, noisy and crowded and expensive. I spent the last 4 months in Pattaya and the dating scene is completely different your choices are pretty much just Thai girls and if your using dating apps 1 out of a 100 is not a pay to play but I was lucky enough to find a account hence why I’m returning to Thailand.
Nathan I like your comment, Obviously you were here long enough to see what I saw. Congratulations on meeting a nice girl in Pattaya:)
Your observations and opinions are so much like mine. I have only been there 10 weeks in total. Another 5 weeks starting in February. Your opinion of ladyboys is right on too. Some of the most beautiful women I saw were ladyboys. And they are mostly very honest about it. They can be gorgeous and so feminine that you can easily forget the fact that they have the same part that you have. A Thai man's features are way more feminine than Western men and they really can become stunning women.
Hello, yes you are right, it is sometimes impossible to know if a woman in Thailand is actually a woman based on their looks. Many times you can tell by their voice but not always. And another thing is many ladyboys in Thailand are actually Transgender, which means they dont have the male parts anymore but they are still a man in my book. Sometimes if you ask a Ladyboy/transgender if they are a ladyboy they will say no because they dont have the man parts anymore. So it is a good idea to ask if they are ladyboy or transgender, if this matters to you.
Having collectively been in thailand about 5 years and now retired here the most important lesson I've learnt is you never buy anything in thailand only rent and that especially goes for women😊
Hello I have to say your comment made me laugh, Thanks for the advice:)
no f'ing way am i sending 300 a month to a family unless i get very serious with someone.
Ya that is my thinking too, thanks for watching
Is it common to meet English-speaking Thai people?
Hello sometimes you will meet a Thai person who knows good English, but most Thai people I have met know very little or no English.
woah! Lady boys! So glad you warned me about that! What a horrible suprise that could be! Hey....start learning the local language!
Did you explore the culture of Mia noi or minor wives in Thailand? They can offer companionship and emotional support, as well as help with household duties such as cooking and cleaning. You can have a great life without Sin Sod. In addition, some mia noi are able to bring financial stability into a relationship by contributing financially.
Hello no I never heard of this, but I appreciate you sharing the information. Thanks:)
Love the videos, quick question. I've heard you say Bangkok is the place to be if you're single, right? Well you're single 😂 what are you doing in Patteya then? Are you just not a fan of how busy Bangkok is?
Hello, great question, When I first came to Thailand I stayed the first month in hotels in Bangkok and I loved Bangkok, But I planned to travel all over Thailand, Then when I came to see Pattaya I found my condo with an ocean view for dirt cheap, and it has alway been my dream to live by the ocean, and Bangkok is not by the ocean. I had to get a year lease for the best price for my condo So I got the year lease, I do like Pattaya and Pattaya is a lot cheaper than Bangkok for housing, food and most everything else. But the dating life for a single man in Pattaya is not nearly as good as Bangkok.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Thanks for the quick reply, seems like you're living the dream, great job!!! So I'm guessing you retired when you sold everything and moved there?
Hi Sean, what are the chances of meeting/dating ex-pat or tourist ladies from other western countries? Are they few and far between?
Jim good questions, I rarely see any expat or single western ladies here, I do see a lot of beautiful Russian women, there are a lot of Russians in Thailand.
Are you out of your mind? Why would you want to date any western woman when you are in Thailand? Why would you want to date any western woman at all? I have a joke for you. Why did the guy keep hitting himself repeatedly and mercilessly in the head with a hammer? Because it felt so good when he stopped.
dumb question. of course it depends on what you look like and nothing else.
dumb response, that wasn't the question and no one asked for your opinion, full stop.
Why would anyone want to date a western woman? Complete waste of time.
Travel Enjoy Thailand 🇹🇭 Happy Endings
Lol thanks my friend:)
Enjoyed your insightful video! I've been together with my girlfriend for over 2 years. We met on Tinder (believe it or not) in Chiang Mai and we've been together through good times and bad. She doesn't care if I'm rich or poor. She's a keeper for sure! 🥰
Thank you my friend, your comment gives me hope. I just checked out your channel and I subscribed:)
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Much appreciated 🙏
Do you have a girlfriend now? What are your total cost to live there. How much to fly there?
Hello and thanks for the questions, no I am still dating but nothing serious yet. again I find the language barrier to be an issue when dating. I recommend using google flights, this is what I use to fly. Prices always change. I did make a budget video showing my expenses in Thailand. here is the link.. th-cam.com/video/ejrHKJ-CfCo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing your dating experience. Never been there. what with the lady boys & women using face filters, this is very deceiving. while being approached & looked at in street is flattering for western males, seems there is always an ulterior motive - professionals after your money. even with normal girlfriends or genuine dates, expecting money for their family is common practice & doesn’t go over well with me, but seems that is their well-ingrained custom. sure their families may be poor but still no excuse. All you can expect in Thailand are bar girls & free lancers. Even Tinder is full of scammers. if you are old & seeking a younger girl, you can definitely expect to pay. cheap prostitution is normalised for western tourists & has been a way of life for decades. Go there for the food, beaches, health care & scenery, but not the women. that’s the message i’m getting.
Thailand sounds like heaven on earth then lol
Yes, realize when you’re a man and you get older, you don’t lose your traction younger women. Western Society shames you or you have no dating opportunity in the west unless you’re very wealthy or Leonardo DiCaprio It’s a dating game changer in Southeast Asia, parts of Europe , Mexico and South America! 💯
sounds like i need to leave the USA and head to SE Asia or latin America. Although SE Asian women are more my type bein pe-tight. Although Colombian, Venezuelan and Argentinian women look damn good too.
Apply common sense and not lust to your decision making process, and keep in mind that every woman you meet will have (or claim to have) “sick” parents somewhere out in the boonies. In Thailand and many other poor countries sick means old. They don’t have common pension funds so it’s not always out of bad will but their parents need to eat.
Marrying a farang (any foreign man) is considered a career move which will fund property investments galore. And as you know, there is no limit to how much land and property you can buy.
Unfortunately, foreigners are not allowed to own land, so she will have to be the sole owner. This will allow her to leave you with all the property you thought was yours - and as she likely promised you.
Money can buy comfort and convenience but never buy love. Be safe and be smart.
Hello I appreciate the advice and thanks for watching
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 Well, thank YOU for this honest and interesting video.
@@vondahe Thanks for watching:)
Be aware, filters can now apply to live video also. Men have a rapidly decreasing chance of actually seeing who they're chatting to. Also note real time 'teen' filters are now in use making 70 year olds look 18! And then there's AI generated women😮
Oh man we are screwed:)
Hi from New Zealand. Ima coming over this year and I shall be in touch before I arrive as I would like to hook up for a drink, coffee or booze, no difference to me. I also have other guys who have a channel there, who I wish to hook up with as well. Perhaps we could have an 'Influencer' hook up, where you guys can finally meet one another, swap notes and etc. Influencer, thats what they call guys with a channel who has an obvious popular channel.😇
Hey Craig, sounds good, let me know:)
In addition to everything said in this video, I, a guy who has been in Thailand for 5 months now, would like to add the following.
The pros of dating Thai girls is that it is super easy. Thai girls are approachable and if you are respectful, you can practically have a date every day of the week (yes, this includes naughty "dates" too). Thai girls are generally very affectionate. They will not always display this in public, but if you get them alone... o boy... prepare for heaven. 😛
The cons are that you will pay for everything and you will soon be expected to hand over some money for her family too. I understand the culture of 'taking care of each other', but I loathe it as well, because as a 'farang', you really start to feel like a walking ATM machine. It makes me feel disrespected. Also know that Thai girls are VERY jealous and can snap at any given time, for no real reason. Because you are a foreigner, they automatically assume you have 'many ladies' (prepare yourself to be ghosted, just like that). Lastly, Thai girls lie. A lot. Don't think you are the only one. I had several Thai girls who already had foreign and Thai boyfriends. They expect YOU to be faithful, but they cheat all the time. Just check their social media. It's common for Thai girls to have several Facebook and Instagram accounts (one for you, one for their boyfriend and one for their family, in which they portray themselves as "innocent").
I do disagree with Bangkok being better than Pattaya for a single guy, but it comes down to preference and what you are looking for, of course. Bangkok is really hectic and Pattaya is more relaxed. The most beautiful girls I found in Pattaya. Granted, it's full of prostitutes too, but still... I prefer it over Bangkok (the air is better too... just don't go into the water, lol).
Hello great comment, thanks
They are so money hungry that turns me off. Luckily due to this, I must be the only guy flaccid in Thailand. Farangs think Im crazy for Eschewing prostitution. They get mad at me for saying "prostitution" too. It is what it is.
I enjoyed your comments, but I am curious about why you would recommend not going in the water?
It's unclean and polluted, @@edwelsh9035. Thai people will tell you this as well. How bad exactly? That I don't know. Apparently, the water near Jomtiem is better, but I wouldn't know, as I spent almost the entire time in South Pattaya.
Soon, there will a filter for video chat 😂😂😂
Lol we are screwed when that happens. I really do not know why anyone would use filters knowing they will someday have to meet the person they like and then explain why they look like a different person.
Hmm…Aaron’s Journal’s second channel? You just an actor playing different roles bud?
Lol no if you look at the dates I made my first channel 2 years ago when I was stuck at home after surgery. Most of those videos are older and I have only added one video to this Chanel in the last 2 years.. If you have watched my second Chanel you will see it is about me documenting my life now after quitting my job and selling my house to chase my dream of travel.
How old are you?
I thought catfishing was bad in the west, the Thai women have brought it to a new level. That said, dating in Thailand is far superior to dealing with western women hands down.
I have to agree you my friend
You got it right…. Good women would never approach you and are very shy
Hello again my friend, Yes this is the kind of women I am attracted to, not into the aggressive ones.
Isn't there an Expat community in these places where you can also meet Western women? Just think you'd have more in common with them.
Hello most of the western expats I have seen here are older single men or men who married a Thai woman. If I do see an attractive woman who is not Thai they are usually from Russia or another country. On rare occasion I will see a single female expat from the US and they are also usually older than what I am interested in.
@@livebeforeyoudie9984 In Mexico I think you'd meet plenty of single western expats your age or younger in the bigger Expat towns. Maybe look in the Facebook groups and see what kinds of meetups are on offer for Expats there? Or, of course, there would be kind of 'western hangouts' in restaurants/bars for Expats there in different areas. Also 'cooking' classes might attract a few?
@@blondetruther I would like to first thank you for trying to help me with your advice. I do appreciate that. Yes I have been to Mexico and I like parts of Mexico but the crime is the thing that is keeping me from wanting to stay there. My car rental was broken into and burglarized last time I was there. I will checkout those places you recommend, thanks:)
