I have lived in SE Asia for over 10 years, I’ve been back in Australia for five years, after having two relationships, one was an Isaan lady (she was 25 and I was 38), I’m now single again living in Australia and mid 40s. I have basically been ostracised by the naive Iess travelled here and while getting sober in AA where I was open and honest about my drinking adventures in Thailand, I was labelled a sex predator and worse, I was physically threatened in AA and harassed by uneducated untraveled envious white Aussies . I had to leave AA. (3 years sober and going strong) I appreciate this explanation of how single men devoid of love and action for so many years are not the PREDATOR , they are the PREY! Having said that, some of the Thai Girls have been conditioned to learn how to get money from travellers and have multiple short term relationships. They think it’s normal and don’t fully understand that they could be much better off in a relationship which is based on love rather than money. They like to show bank deposit receipts on social media, showing off the huge amounts of money travellers send them after they go back home and this encourages more Thai girls to take advantage of more lonely men coming to Thailand genuinely looking for love. In my opinion Thai women are mostly a lot more genuine and honest than western women. A Thai girl will ask for money (all the time 😂❤) but most would never steal it from you. Can’t wait to get back to SE Asia, the food and services is disgusting here and so are a lot of the people. 😊 Bring it On !

I met a girl on a forum 16 years my junior when i was in between jobs she asked if i had enough money to get to Thailand because she'd take care of me when i got there and she did 15 years ago. when i got a job a gave her 20K Baht a month and asked her to take care of living arrangements with it. 6 months later i asked her if she was getting enough money, she showed me her bank book and there was more in there than i had given her. when i questioned her about the money she said she thought we were saving for our future, i went all in at that point and have never regretted it she and i aren't rich she has a one seat hairdressing salon and i'm retired, we go to the UK once or twice a year for holidays and in all honesty she's the best thing that ever happened to me.

I still think about her , it was down to her having to support her mother and her sisters , did not seem to be doing the same ,so it caused problems for me . She was ji dee a good heart . There are great women in thailand. Also there are women that will have your eyes out . If your a good judge of people , you know good people . Think if they are in a bar , selling the money maker , it's money money . No money, no honey . If a uk girl asked you to buy her a car or build her a house, you would bail .

I met a girl on a bus and asked if she knew cheap clean accommodation. we talked for two hours laughing. When we got off the bus she said follow me. She took me home pointed at the room and said thats for you I sleep on couch. Two weeks later I thanked her for showing me around and being so kind. I paid her fairly although she didnt ask for money. Later she invited me to Ban Kruat to visit a house warming party and later to a Cambodian wedding. I met her family and after three days the elders of the family welcomed me into the web. Turns out she owned two farms with her sister. She told me nothing about how she had more money than me and the reason we are still in contact is because....she asked me if I wanted a Thai wife My response was I want a best friend first. She admired that and we built trust on that. Good on you for finding your best friend first.

Totally agree, my wife has a degree, her own business and car, since I have been here I have lived Totally on her income, never had to transfer money from England, and as a Yorkshireman I was surprised to find somebody tighter than me. Her 20 year old Honda Civic that she bought new is not going to be replaced as she said it is still giving good service, and she's not worried about keeping up with the Jones's. I have never been asked for money by her or her family, even Sinsod, and a good sign of a genuine relationship with a Thai lady is that they are very loving and affectionate in private but not so much in public, if they do the opposite, think to yourself, why?

Thais are mostly conservative people/culture. We do not make out and do tongue hockey in public with our mate. Holding hands is okay.

[@Kernowking101]

I used to look down on the 60+ farang with 20 year old thai wives. The more time I live in Thailand, the more this changed. In most cases, both parties understand the arrangement and who am I to decide what true love is? The man finds companionship he would be hard pushed to find at home, the girl gets security for herself and often her family too. My wife is Thai. We met when she was 20 and I was 25. We have been together for 10 years. I think the fact she was a Hi-So girl rather than a bar girl is probably a very important part of why we have been one of the rare success stories in Farang/Thai relationships. She was never after my money because I didnt have any! 😂

[@beau_de_jour]

what suggestions would you give to a 25 yo guy to have success dating (and i mean dating not F around) in thailand? i’ve seen a lot of thai/westerner couple, and although they work out, i see a lot of lacking of true love/emotion in those relationships. i don’t want to judge how they meet, but turns out most of them came from Isaan. And let’s be honest, I don’t think every western is good at talking thai, so i’ve my own idea about they met, and that’s all fine. But I don’t like how the relationship turn out, where the women cares more about hanging out more with their thai friends and kids without truly caring about the husband. Maybe I’ve a romantic idea of love and relationships, cause I don’t think that give a beer, preparing food and “take care” means love. Maybe it’s me, or maybe something is wrong in one of them, or maybe it’s just all down to cultural differences and how different nations show love. Hope to hear from you, wish you all the best! 🤙🏼

[@nickst-francois8192]

Excellent and insight full video. Well grounded. Yes, we hear so many Thailand horror stories, but I am sure there are a lot happier story. I have an amazing Thai wife and at the start of our relationship there was no mention of money ever. You just must be careful and find the right partner. Thai women are caring, family driven and will treat you like a king. All they want back is a loving and caring partner.

[@andyhoyle511]

I am from the Uk and have been married to my Thai wife for 6 years and we have known each other 7 years . We just clicked in a coffee shop and were married three months later. I waited over 3 years to build a house . We are very happy and both have careers. My job is better paid so i help her and her family out but that is by choice. I have a lovely step-daughter and we are very happy together. The people I see that come here and fail are those that look down on the Thais especially girls and /or get involved with bar girls or very young girls . I would not put any guy off getting together with a Thai girl but just be careful especially if you are not living here as long distance relationships are often unsuccesful !

So my wife's assets include: 2 farms in Issan, land and 2 condos in Rayong. On the other hand I own all the financial investments what we live on. Yes she could throw me out tomorrow after nearly 20 years. I would need to rent somewhere and start again. I would not moan because she deserves every sqm of property and the car. I just believe some people rush into relationships too fast. People need to cost average in. All of us change over time. I was with me wife seven years before we purchased anything. We have rules too each other: only buy property with full title deeds (red) and lastly our daughter comes first. I love Thailand 🇹🇭 and you can also lose everything in the West.

Quick heads up…the wife’s 4 year old nephew just got out of a local government hospital after 4 weeks in Khao Wong, Kalasin. He’s a very lucky young man: Glanders and Melioidosis. I had never heard of it…very high mortality stats…inhalation of bacteria in soil, water or eating freshwater fish from bacteria infected water…swift diagnosis essential followed by the correct antimicrobial…he was on the relevant antibiotic in saline for 4 weeks now continued orally for 6 months to avoid bounce-back…it can even survive in distilled water…a second kid in the same school just came down with it…amazing how a local G hospital identified it…Dr’s said it was rare though no longer..leave you google it!

@@wiv2631 Thanks Ryan. A lot better now thanks and very happy to be out of hospital, even though he will be on antibiotics for 6 months and it can reoccur throughout life. Couple of interesting points…Hospital forms have a category called: Glanders and Melioidosis - Glanders is a close-relative of Melioidosis and is irrelevant. Melioidosis is the soil dwelling bacteria thats the real killer and it gets a lot of rice-farmers once its washed out by the rains. Turns out the local government hospital actually missed it completely…he was going down hill so they took him to a small government hospital in a local town…they had the experience to recognise it and start immediate antibiotic via IV, while waiting for the culture test that confirmed Melioidosis. I don’t think he would have survived in the village hospital. Couple of quick points. They think it was probably acquired playing by a river with his dad after heavy rain…the symptoms in kids would be easily confused with meningitis so a blood culture-test is essential to eliminate or confirm…it gets a lot of rice-farmers throughout the tropics, and a key mortality indicator is diabetes or pre-existing heart/lung/kidney issues. Its sheer chance if its in nearby land or not and hence contamination in local-water tables. 🙏

I was on the path to losing everything but held on with the obvious knowledge my wife was heading for an early grave. She passed away last month (March 24) and now I have everything. My daughter is 19 and signs the house over next year. I went through years of abuse and simply stayed close by for my daughter and not to run away. 22 years over with and a bright new future for all. FYI, never embezzled, stole, flirted, purchased and so on. Sadly succumbed to chronic alcoholism and constantly rushed to hospital. Friends were her demise. I don't see them now. Not a sordid reply just my version of how running away doesn't have to be the answer. Without my daughter it would have been different. The problem around me is selective hearing. Only switch on when it benefits them. I can communicate enough to hear what's going on and can read enough to understand documents. I now live in peace and quiet and my wife is now rid of her demons, such a shame and a warning that alcohol doesn't choose it's victims. It's an individual's look out. In summary I haven't lost anything and continue a new start at a mere age 55. I never tarred and labeled myself with the usual view, always worked it out for myself. Never again! New me.

After I knew I wanted to find a Thai wife and I sorted through many of them before even meeting my future wife. Not a large age gap, beautiful but not spin every man's head around beautiful, good English, and a full time job. Been married 4 years now and everything is mostly perfect. Would do it again in a second.

[@thenakedguru]

Cheers Brandon 🙏👍

[@warrennerraw7237]

So well said, been here for 6 years and went on a dating app, within 15 min i had 59 responses, dropped that quickly.....! You are right, Thai ladies and people in general are amazing, they will work hard with you, much better than in the west. Still single, and very happy at 53.

[@mariettathornton5924]

Another great topic on your everyday vlog Ryan! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@thenakedguru]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Spot on mate

[@seekhearts]

my thai girlfriend is no different to the aussie women or others from different cultures i have dated. all she wants is happiness, mutual respect, understanding and communication and most of all... family. im only 31 and still very adaptable to a new land, new language/s and new culture, but i know for older expats they might find it difficult to adapt and compromise and this will start to cause rifts that you would see in any relationship around the world. also paying your wife salary just sounds plain wrong to me, as if you would want to hold dominion over the person youre supposed to love and respect. great video ryan, too many people blame the thai wife before looking inward and knowing who they really are inside.

[@thenakedguru]

Bingo my friend 🙏

[@topsuperseven7910]

oof you're going to be in wreckage if and when that all goes sideways and you become the older expat.

[@seekhearts]

@@topsuperseven7910 its all about building a foundation my friend. you see plenty of older expats whove been there for decades who adapted quite well.

[@topsuperseven7910]

@@seekhearts I disagree. Your claim is not verified by pointing to the survivors and I've never seen that be the reason why there are some older expats who have eventually adapted well. Of course, you weren't actually told 'expats don't do well overall' but about women who will wreck them. (you changed it to an overall general commentary). But I disagree with your belief that it's all about the foundation,. One of the main reasons I can disagree is because you're talking to an older expat. I am one of them. You're wrong on a few levels so we have to break those down. - You're deceived by 'survivor bias' where you would also go around pointing out there are plenty of plane crash survivors found doing just fine and adapting well on this island! You don't see that 99% of them didn't survive. You know 10 expats who have adapted after decades and decades still there. Yes, you don't know 3000 others came and went, but wait... - what you don't realize is that the 10 you've seen and think are doing well (don't be so sure) aren't there because they built the strong foundations and the others didn't. nope. While its not 'random' (though, often it is) it will be for 1000 other explanations from health, accidents, an uncountable number of ways visas come and go, change and drop (and some happened to just hit right time in the right place and vice-versa) and let me give you one example: - In Laos, about a dozen expats are well-known to have been so for decades and will be until dying at 72 for sure. Almost all of them inherited money when their parents died and when they (the expat) was around 55-60 too and almost all attained early retirement (58-62 range) for another supplementary guaranteed income. and, ALL of them will tell you horror stories about how when, at age 38 or 42 they first arrived and were WRECKED by a woman. oh.. let's be more clear: that was the FIRST time they were just wrecked. A little more detail on stories you heard about "ive been here 20 years". They often don't tell you that they were there 6 years, then moved back to (home country) with the wife after finally securing visas etc and then 2 years later she divorced him and took half his money and he was ruined but had enough leftover to... move back to Thailand (or Laos or Vietnam or China whereever). however, It will also be true that the survivors (you see plenty of them!) will just as easily be the ones who... did NOT lay any kind of good foundations. (whatever you think that means). it will just as easily be the ones who did NOT lay any kind of foundations but were just wild .. as my dad would say 'flew by the seat of their pants' and nutters and those who just 'winged it' as they went along. Likewise, the most 'foundation building cautious planners' will have been swept away, shipwrecked or just sort of fell apart over time. You're simply not correct in your belief and that just isn't how it's happened over the decades. Now, finally, since what you're replying to is about being wrecked by a woman.. ..if you actually believe men can 'pay a foundation' around making a trustworthy or non-trustworthy woman? As if you can build something in to prevent her from becoming a wacko later? Oh son, ohhhh you poor sweet but dangerously naive soul, that is definitely not possible. you may well get a combination of luck and circumstances and it won't happen but you will just HOPE those things happen and will not build them. and love won't have anything to do with it either.

[@mikeazpiroz9292]

Amen! Well said.

[@ranctil3]

Well said Ryan, many variables involved in these expat relationships as you have stated. When I met my partner her small business was in danger of bankruptcy but it has been the best investment that I've made to keep it afloat and if she decides to kick me to the curb then so be it, no hard feelings. Keep the age gap realistic, I'm 70 she's 60 and we have good communication because of this fact, I would have nothing in common with a younger woman and I know this, just use common sense, which appears in short supply with many visitors to thailand.

[@andymcintosh5324]

new subscriber here !!, enoying your chats on various subjects, in this case common sense is very important when choosing a partner , doesnt matter were you live or have moved too . the way thai people live really resonates with me, would love to visit in next few years , take care brother

The primary responsibility to the knowledge and insight you have discovered is to live and breathe it. (deepak)..I yak yakk u alot but really your just sharing good information...You do that well......

[@Ned88Man]

I hear this story about losing stuff to Thai women often, but I have never actually met anyone that this has happened to.

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

I am being preyed upon in Pattaya, but I like it! 555 You see it very well Ryan. "Never put all your eggs in one basket" thought every man knew this. Another brilliant vlog and rant Ryan. Beautiful park for a morning walkabout and talk One old vlogger here says 1/2 your age plus 7 years is the perfect age for a man here....so 40 year olds are the perfect age for me! 5555

[@thenakedguru]

Glad you enjoyed it brother 👍

[@platformmind7597]

Good Advice,Ryan I agree with you all.Other lesson in life .

[@stanton20002]

Neighbor in US was married to a US woman half his age. Both had very different life experiences. Not surprisingly they had the same outcome you’re describing.

[@markhammer1902]

Never build a house in a foreign country. It's a bad business decision, unless you've got throw away money. From what I've seen of most of these expats they cannot afford to throw away money.

[@roystevenson1375]

I did at one time want to visit Pye but I have heard that it is very koh Phangan, elephant pants and Kao San Road...sort of put me off..too old for that now

[@timothythompson4036]

By the way, divorce rate in the US is about 40%. In Thailand the marriage scam rate is about 90%.

[@hilltribelife3843]

Where do you get the 90% figure from?

[@wrongthink1212]

Such a good video ^. 1000X

[@kellywalker4494]

There is not much that I dislike about Thailand. I love it. However, it is true that you have to be vigilant as you are a target. I think there must be a university somewhere teaching these women “every trick in the book.” I don’t think I would ever marry a Thai woman as you just have no way of knowing whether there’s an ulterior motive. You’d need to think very carefully before you do things like buying property in her name, etc.

[@beau_de_jour]

i’m pretty sure there is something like that. on top of that, there a lot of over 40s single mum that turn to farangs as a spare well cause they aren’t hopeless in thailand, and there will be a white knight to take charge of her, kids, extend family and vices for her! because they see that it happens a lot, so they wish the same and want a piece of that as well. i just wonder if in this case is true love or just out of necessity. I hate the idea of faking romance just for your own business, is so sickening, but it happens. a lot of thai groups over FB in thai language where those women are subscribed and they share advices and infos. makes me sick.

[@beau_de_jour]

oh and by the way, i’m 25, it’s not my piece of cake this shit but still it’s tough world out there, more than i thought. protect yourself at all times 🥊

[@PaulPobst]

Yes today we call that uncommon sense because it's not common anymore. Ryan thanks once again I watch every video you put out. Can't wait to get back to Thailand again should be back for songkran

[@garynicholson2567]

If you are serious about living in Thailand, learn the language! Then you'll know whats going on

[@VictorHenderson]

1. Never go all in financially. Always have a back out plan. 2. Don't trust a bar girl. It is a business. It is her business to make you love her. 3. Don't marry anybody or large financial commitments to somebody you know less than 2 years. 4. Get an attorney to help you when making large/long term financial commitments. 5. Rent, don't buy as long as possible in most things.
