The CRAZIEST Thing I've Done YET! Pattaya, Thailand! | vlog 33

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you for watching! You can support us here: www.buymeacoffee.com/peteonretreat

[@WayneWillisJr]

I brought my wife home after meeting her at a show. Two days later she was living with me and 16 years later she's still my best friend. Follow your heart.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. True love does happen

[@tomiasthexder7673]

I can feel a “I made a big mistake” video coming in the near future.

[@peteonretreat2023]

It is definitely possible… honestly, even if this doesn’t work I don’t think I’ll see it as a mistake. And if it I do… great content for the channel right?

[@snitchy87]

I fell in love with my thai wife the first time l met her. BUT l didn't marry her for a few years. I made sure l knew her and her family well before l did something that big. The whole person doesn't always show for a while. Be in love, but don't get pressured into anything or jump into anything too quick because you want it so badly. Get to know each other and let what happens happen.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Great advice and that’s awesome about you falling in love on your first date. I know these situations are a rarity here but I also know they do happen… more often than the negative grumps want to believe. We aren’t looking at marriage anytime soon… a couple years down the road sounds about right before even considering anything like that.

[@rickpugliese1682]

Good luck Mr P ♥

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 10 months in and we’re thriving even though the odds are definitely against us.

[@mikeh9956]

Thanks for being vulnerable. An underrated manly trait.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you for your understanding. 🙏🏼 I honestly didn’t think I would publish this video when I went out and filmed it, but I was very happy with how it came out… even with all my misspoken words and gaffs. 😂

[@glenhou]

Good for you Pete Great story happy for you

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you very much 🙏🏼

[@JohnKennedy-tu1ms]

Congratulations Pete and I'm very happy for you! Just remember that Thai people may be the most accommodating people on the earth. Their loyalty and commitment is widely reknowned. They have a wonderful ability to adapt to people around them and to make you feel special. Like it or not you are a public figure and your life is out there for anyone to see. She would have seen your videos and read everything on your FB page. She knew a lot about you on that first date... I wish beyond wishes that her feelings are sincere and that you are the happiest that you can possibly be. Just be careful mate

[@peteonretreat2023]

Absolutely. I feel I still have at least one foot on the ground no matter how high my head is in the clouds. I also went into our first date having peered through here Facebook 😆 Meeting through that platform probably gave us both a better sense of trust because we could see that at least our social media lives lined up with the stories that we shared.

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

Wonderful story. Hope your love will last a long time Pete and companion. One week, one dinner, amazing. She obviously must speak fairly good English. Nice your father and family are still around to enjoy your journey here in Thailand as well, first time hearing that. Yes, be wary of how much you expose on YT Pete. I am old, retired, and poor so could care less. 555 Another surprise ending ! Peace and Love Y'all .

[@peteonretreat2023]

An amazing story for sure… only time will tell how it develops but we would never know without trying. And she definitely won’t be making any YT appearances for a while if ever. Thank you for your words of support.

[@Chef_Boy_RD]

Awww… man you got me with that ending 😂 I just knew it was another cliffhanger. Good for you Pete! You do you and shut out the outside noise. Go with your gut 💯. Let me know me know and I’ll come cater your reception 😉

[@peteonretreat2023]

You stuck around for the post credit scene right??? I couldn’t actually do that 2 weeks in a row 😊 Thanks always Chef!

[@cloudattack3279]

Watch for the sick buffalo dude..😂

[@peteonretreat2023]

That’s my future in-laws you’re talking about 😂

[@Knight8365]

Congratulations! Go for it Pete all in. 12 months ago I took a chance clicking on a Tinder profile for a Thai lady I would not have otherwise. Now we are getting married and setting up our home together looking forward to better things. Top tip: remember when the first date happened and what you did, she will be impressed. I won't lie, I had a lot of reservations to begin with, but my lady dispelled them with love, trust and honesty. It sounds like you have the same with your lady. Best of luck.

[@peteonretreat2023]

I didn’t bother sharing all the green flags but they’re all there. We have each other’s trust for more than just our feelings. And I think you’re absolutely right… remembering how we were on that first date and following along with that is great advice.

[@waylinnelson]

Congrats Pete! Don’t worry about the haters and keep moving forward and post what makes you happy! I dream of a day that I will have an experience like you just had. Have a good one Pete!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Two amazing things I didn’t know I wanted it needed came into my life recently. The nonprofit foundation and this incredible women.

[@KeilikoGreg]

Pete - I love your channel, partly because it’s about Thailand, where I want to visit and maybe stay long term, but also because you are a great guy. You have a great personality and a very authentic way about you. I am really glad you decided to share your excitement about your new person in your life, and I really hope it works out for you, because you are so enthused about it and how you are feeling. Don’t stop vlogging, and remember you don’t have to make your channel about her and you; keep doing what you’ve been doing. There’s an American vlogger in Cebu, Carefree Chris, whose channel I enjoy, and he met a girl. His channel then moved to being one in which he shared his experiences in the phils through the lens of their relationship, which was fine, but I had my reservations about watching a new relationship unfold in public view like that. Some months in, she was out of the picture, although they ended their relationship on good terms. Just keep that in mind as you make decisions about what to share as your relationship is in its early stages. Best to you.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Yeah, it’ll be at least a couple months before I’d even consider having her appear here. I’m sure I’ll talk about her some but I know once she comes on to the channel (if ever), she’ll bring unwanted attention. I am happy that there’s only been 3 comments I decided to remove so far and none of them were really that bad.

[@Grimreapervlogs]

This is so good to hear Pete u deserve happiness if she makes u happy which by the video its definitely shows u are i say go for it mate. People will say your crazy but who cares what they think or say do what you feel is right. Look forward to hearing more about it and will see u soon mate

[@peteonretreat2023]

You know there’s plenty of negative people around the world… they don’t make life any better. Glad to hear you got your tickets for this spring. See ya soon!

[@ebonysinclair7283]

So happy for you Pete !!! You're an amazing person and you deserve to have an amazing partner. Enjoy every moment of happiness.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you Ebony 😊

[@jeffsimpson46]

Good for you! Sometimes, you know right away. Keep working together with kindness. In that way, it doesn’t matter what the future holds.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Absolutely. As long as we are honest with each other and don’t allow resentments to grow, we will be alright.

[@walternyc]

Awesome! As you said, sometimes you need to do crazy things to be happy. Good luck and all the best!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Should I move to Texas? Should I move to Thailand? My craziest decisions in life so far have not only had amazing results, they led me to here… and to her. It seems only fitting that I should continue the adventure.

[@peterandretta8328]

Happy for you Pete. Do what’s best for you. Keep your personal life (Beyond telling your story on KZbin) private. When and if you and her are comfortable with introducing her to the channel then make that decision at that time. There’s no rushing here. You got all the time! Speaking of time, I’ll be vacationing in Pattaya in less than 2 months now. April 16th to be exact. I hope you’re possibly around to meet up for a beer. Or a dinner somewhere around there. I’m looking forward to the trip. It’ll be my first time traveling to Thailand. For three weeks I’ll be moving all around there. One question, I know you’re busy with your group and your regular KZbin channel but I was wondering what is your take on reaction videos? I always thought it would be interesting to see a reaction channel from Thailand. You know once a week perhaps along with your regular content you react to like a Marvel show or something. Lol😅. Just curious on your opinion. Take care, be safe and all that, and continue all of the great content. I hope to meet you in person in a couple of months. Cheers.

[@peteonretreat2023]

I watch some reaction channels and have thought a little bit about doing it. The problem I have is that I watch a lot of KZbin and have a pretty deep familiarity with music so I could only give honest reactions to new media. I mostly watch hip hop reactors and anyone reacting to the artist Ren but other channels sometimes sneak in. I wish sometimes the KZbin algorithm would recommend more things that are new to me besides the stuff I already watch (cracking the cryptic: sudoku, street skaters, reactors)

[@denniskortheuer9861]

Maybe your greatest video yet, and you've done some really good ones. i love how open you are about everything. Yes, as a disinterested observer i would say you are indeed in love. So happy for you. Oh, love how you do the ending too.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you. I really wasn’t sure if I’d publish this video when I filmed it yesterday but I’m glad I did. Looking through the comments this morning, and seeing all the support out there as well as similar stories that have continued successfully has really been enjoyable.

[@laurenwallace]

Loved this video .. happy to see you catch that love bug !! Happy you found your person ! ..

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 😊😊😊😊😊

[@stevierug8733]

9 years and counting from my first trip. She gets on my nerves now and vice versa but that’s how I know it’s all good. All the best Pete 🙏🙏

[@peteonretreat2023]

Love it! Many thanks 🙏🏼

[@RetiredGlobalLife]

Congratulations, Pete, on meeting someone wonderful. I know many people say it is wise to keep such personal feelings inside and that we feel stupid if things don't work out, but I have always been like you... jump in full steam and see what happens. And part of why your GF likely loves you is that you don't hide your emotions and are so worried about protecting yourself that it limits you. But you are wise to delay having her on our channel for the simple reason people can be unbelievably cruel for no reason. I can handle occasional shots at me, but when they target my GF, it makes me so upset. Luckily they are rare, but I have to take them down before she sees them or I know it will really hurt her. And in a way I would know I indirectly caused the hurt by having her on my channel. Continued success, Pete.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Absolutely 👍🏼 I turned on comment approval for this video and after my first thousand views I’ve only chose to decline 3 so far… and they weren’t really that bad. I also get it. I know how people can become jaded after being hurt. I’m in no rush to show her on the channel and it’s possible we may never do so. Unlikely, but possible. Thank you for your continued support and best wishes always for your journey. I love seeing you two together!

[@mfj2648]

Great news Pete. I am truly happy for you because great love usually comes knocking on our door when we least expect it - often as a surprise. Take it slowly and get to know each other very well. I fell in love with a Thai person last summer and all was great until I found out that I was being "2 timed" ( 2 falangs ). I ended it and it was extremely painful and only last month have I been able to return to sanity. I even met my replacement and sometimes we all hang out together. But I am happy that love story is behind me, as the negatives outweighed the positives --> I just could not see them clearly in the beginning because I was too goo-goo gaa-gaa. All the best Pete and keep both eyes wide open.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Support and good advice are both appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼 My new love has all green flags. Now my last girlfriend… not so much. I knew it wasn’t going to work but we tried anyway.

[@elvisrawks]

How cool is this! Pete is very cool!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@YY-mi9rf]

That was a really sweet story, Pete. Brought a big smile to my face. I'm familiar with your neighborhood around the 3 mermaids area (I live in central pattaya with my Thai wife) so I hope I get to meet you (both?) some day. Take care and the best of luck to you!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you very much 🙏🏼 I love this neighborhood 😊

[@TheMikeyStory]

Bro , I am so PROUD OF YOU AND HER .... There is NO rules to love and relationships , life and love is what you make of it .......Yeah man

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you Mikey!! ❤️

[@percyfilth7841]

Your an awesome guy and it's great to see you happy. Much love bro

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you dude 🙏🏼

[@jo-anna5355]

Do what makes you happy my friend.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@OneJame]

Right there with you Pete! Glad to hear things are going well 🙏🏻

[@peteonretreat2023]

Whew… glad I’m not alone 😅😊

[@jameshall2299]

I was single and bartending a few years ago at a wedding reception and had just broken up with a gal when one of the guests started flirting with me and kinda casually said when I closed the bar, I should come over to her friends to hang out, neither one of us were looking for anything serious and now, married for 26 years and we are actually in Vietnam and we’ll be back in Thailand for march in pattaya. When you know, you know. Follow your heart! Great video Pete.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Everyday has been better than the past one and our live continues to grow.

[@mikenaylor]

Hey Pete! Stoked for you! 👍🏻

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thanks Mike! 🙏🏼😊

[@phlipperout]

Your wearing your heart on your sleeve. All the best Pete 😊

[@peteonretreat2023]

And that’s not really like me but I’m going along with it.

[@bootney66]

Great video and you’re good at the anticipation thing. I’m hoping this works out for both of you ❤

[@peteonretreat2023]

I’m living the anticipation thing now lol It is fun applying it to these videos though 😁

[@realpropertymangement7640]

You do you, Pete. The hell with those negative Nellie's. As you said... life can be crazy, crazy can be fun. You're a big boy, eyes wide open, it's all on you. So go for it. You're the one who has to deal with the ramifications, whether that be positive (🤞) or negative.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Very, very true 🙏🏼

[@jeffnichols5841]

Late to the party but kudos to you for getting out there. No matter how it ends. "Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain. But I'd of had to miss the dance."

[@peteonretreat2023]

Well said

[@RetiringToAsia]

That's awesome Pete! Go for it.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@markdam]

Can't wait to hear the next video and can't wait to meet her congratulations I'm living a very similar experience but from afar in the USA hoping to come soon.....

[@peteonretreat2023]

You can make it happen… life is what you make it

[@mikegetzlaff512]

There is nothing else to say, but best wishes to the both of you 😊

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@karltraveldude7817]

Wish you happiness ! Enjoy and be happy ...

[@peteonretreat2023]

Many thanks 🙏🏼

[@VividAbominations]

Your heart is one thing, but as long as you take care of your money and wealth, and not let all of that be jeopardized. I was only in Thailand for a month and met someone on week 3 that worked at one of my hotels in Phuket. I was not even looking for that because I knew I was going home in 2 weeks. Things just happen very quickly in Thailand. I was around 44, and she was 32. Single women in Thailand at that age are under so much pressure to find someone, and I could feel that urgency to get those claws in. She got the fairy tale 2 week luxury hotels, meals, and I got a massive dose of how things are very different compared to western women.

[@peteonretreat2023]

It’s a very common story out here and I see it all the time. Luckily, my partner really isn’t about the money. She helps me save money and I spend less monthly living with her than I did being single. She’s an amazing cook!

[@geoffjary4605]

Enjoy the new adventure of your journey Pete

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you… what an adventure it is!

[@youngrounder7967]

It's your life Pete, continue to do what makes you happy. You have not much to lose but everything to gain. I support your relationship 💯. Rather, go through knowing at leastbI tried and did, rather than wonder what would of happen if...

[@peteonretreat2023]

Very true words my brother. You know first hand how blessed I am. Thank you for your friendship and support. 🙏🏼

[@jdsalinger147]

Never hesitate to open your heart. But always hesitate to open your wallet. Enjoy the ride!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Honestly… it’s near impossible to give her money.

[@staciaohira]

Love is love you can't stop love

[@peteonretreat2023]

So very true! ❤️

[@bern555]

Yep, many guys in Thailand will say I know where this is going to go and be.

[@peteonretreat2023]

And I get that. They’re either jaded because of personal experiences or they have heard the stories. It’s good to be wary for sure… but you can’t ignore the stories of success that are out here as well. There’s been a few in this comment section alone.

[@markfoley2220]

It’s not stupid bro. Life is short go with your gut. I so hope she’s your one.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you. Only time will tell. Besides the hasty move in, we are working together to put the proper foundation in place. We both understand it may not work… most relationships do end at some point but we feel right about ours.

[@chrisdavies5395]

Love your down to earth vlogs. Great to see you happy. Hopefully June or July I will be starting my own Thailand experience, would love to meet up for a coffee or beer one day.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you, it feels good. I’ve got an email listed in my video descriptions. Reach out when you get to town.

[@frederickkrewson638]

Pete - Way to go!! Congrats!!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thanks you 😊

[@KenOfthewest]

Well done Pete, go for it! You know all of the sob story's etc, so what to avoid. However, nothing risked, nothing gained. I wish you both all the Best!😊

[@peteonretreat2023]

I didn’t share a lot in this video… much of which puts my mind at ease. It’s really all green flags besides our hasty decisions.

[@jameshall2299]

Hey Pete, are there any good coffee or mango smoothie spots on pratamnak near sky residences? I’ll be staying there for the month of march.

[@peteonretreat2023]

King of Coffee is just in the other side of the hill. Chillin’ Cafe will be right down around the corner from you.

[@genericchannel5899]

Someone didn't read Private Dancer before moving to Thailand.

[@peteonretreat2023]

No need, I know the story and have heard plenty before. The two of us however are reading Good Medicine for Thailand Fever together so we have a better understanding of our cultural differences so we can have a better chance of success.

[@CarmexJarboy]

Good luck Pete!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Irvysan]

Hi Pete, I only started following you today. I loved your story, you guys are awesome together ❤️ I hope that I can emulate your personal success in the next few years. 🎉🎉 I hope you guys have a fantastic future together ❣️ p.s. I'm a 6ft white bald Scottish guy and idgaf brother. I hope you guys are happy forever 🙏🎉

[@peteonretreat2023]

Aw, thank you brother! Our adventures together are off to a great start… it still just feels right.

[@Sheeeerkhan]

So happy for you! 👍🏻🙂☀️

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@aaronbux1]

Cool, man! Happy for you! Both feet in, I say. Love is not something to be overly protective about .. if you know its real. So when's the wedding? :) Just go the traditional route, which is likely all she's thinking too. You can always make it officially "legal" later .. if you guys choose to. But many Thai couples never do make things "legal", (My gf's parents, her sister's 15 year marriage, etc). The traditional method being enough for them to be husband and wife. And culturally, I think Thai people and at least we Americans (and I'm sure other western cultures) do share big similarities. They understand hard work, struggle, wanting to find happiness in life, have a good sense of humor .. and so many more foundational elements. But one thing they do much better than we do .. is patience. And it's a great tool they teach us .. about living each day and taking things as they come. You mean I don't have to be overly stressed in my western Capitalist way of thinking at all times? Huh? Who knew? Anyway .. happy for you! Enjoy! :)

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you for all the supportive words 🙏🏼 We joke about marriage a little bit… the thumbnail photo of this video was just us being silly while we took Valentine’s Day photos. She has said that day can come when we are both ready for it, no need to rush. If/when we go down that path, it’ll probably just be the Thai wedding at least for a while longer.

[@roberth7894]

Congratulations, there's nothing like the oxytocin rush of new love. All the best to you both!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 I know there’s a honeymoon phase to all of this… always will be but I do believe we are setting the foundation for a great life together.

[@stevehayes8755]

Congratulations delighted for you both

[@peteonretreat2023]

Many thanks 🙏🏼

[@Eeasy-wq4ss]

Big ups to you Pete👍

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@lroc6272]

Thanks Pete

[@peteonretreat2023]

My pleasure 😊

[@Suspicious_Elmo]

What does she do for work?

[@peteonretreat2023]

She was working in a restaurant when we met but now she’s driving bolt and had a private taxi service.

[@Suspicious_Elmo]

@@peteonretreat2023 sounds good. best of luck, bro.

[@snu04aml]

Congratulations Pete.... I echo what your Father said!

[@peteonretreat2023]

He’s a wise man… I love him dearly 😊

[@thealienbarber]

Good luck mate ...

[@peteonretreat2023]

Many thanks 🙏🏼

[@bijanbayne3259]

Chok dee. Great Valentine's Day story

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you very much 🙏🏼

[@betweendrinks8885]

I dated a hotel receptionist ( but after many months of Facebook ) She and I met in 2014 and continued the relationship up until present day - We did move slowly - Moving In immediately is a case of following your heart - As long as things are as they seem - why not? It’s natural to safe guard however assets - Getting married or engaged fast isn’t necessary- what’s the hurry - You don’t want to end up in isaan building a two storey home in 2024 that’s for sure That said enjoy the ride Pete and goodluck

[@peteonretreat2023]

Yeah… we’re years away from marriage. We’ve talked about it and there’s no reason to rush into that at all.

[@peaceom777]

I am happy for you Pete. I will be arriving in Thailand in March. I will be living in Jomtien. Maybe we can get together and have a coffee.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Reach out when you get to town. 😊

[@PS-gm7vg]

Cool video!! slow is good!! but life is short!!! have funn bro

[@peteonretreat2023]

Well said 😊

[@kevinp8108]

Congratulations Pete on your new relationship! Once your girlfriend is on your video, your viewership will increase! This is because most of your male viewers are hoping for a good relationship with a beautiful Thai woman.

[@peteonretreat2023]

That is true… however I care way more about her than I do views. If she comes on to the channel… it’ll be a few months at the earliest.

[@mangostickyrice555]

Thumbs up 👍 Pete

[@peteonretreat2023]

You know… this thumbs up hits differently. Thank you MSR! 😊

[@MrDanny2501]

nice brother,.....happy for you

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you my man 🙏🏼

[@lkabong5529]

Very cool story Pete! And for the love of um...Pete! keep her to yourself!

[@peteonretreat2023]

I have to share her some 🤭

[@MrDanny2501]

Finally will be there in about 3 weeks So for sure that long lost beer I promised is coming your way brother

[@peteonretreat2023]

Did I hear free beer?

[@ViewTalay]

Congrats and good luck to you both. Don’t put her on KZbin for a while yet. Maybe a good time for that is when you do the travel in Thailand together. All the best

[@peteonretreat2023]

I think you’re right about that. I just sent my passport away for renewal. It should take 6-8 weeks to get back and then we’ll start hitting the road. I much more hesitant to have her be on the channel than I was to talk about her at all. I’m in no rush.

[@adammayle52]

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Now that’s a great line!

[@edwardruiz8920]

Great vlog. I know a little bit about how private you are. You must be happy. Go for it. You only live once. I know the sensation of falling in love. Ride it as long as you can and it might last the rest of your lives.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you Ed! Love is a strange and magical thing… understanding it and respecting it will help us navigate through it together. Love you dude!

[@CerebralAptitude]

🎉All your subs have love for you bro. IF you ever get negativity about your relationships, remember there will always be hateful people. You have one life enjoy it.

[@peteonretreat2023]

Very wise words. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@OgAdalist]

Good luck man

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you 🙏🏼

WOW! 🫣

[@peteonretreat2023]

Haha 😆

[@sixx_xlr]

Just be careful man...

[@peteonretreat2023]

I hear ya… I know it can be foolish to allow this vulnerability but she is risking herself just the same.

[@passiveincomemadeasy]

Well done it not all bad in Thailand i was out for dinner 22 years ago a young lady walked in order some food had to wait for the food asked if she could sit and wait for her food. And yes 22 years later we are still in love so dont say it can not happen it can. Depends where you will not meet in a bar thats for sure.

[@andrewrobinson2565]

A hopeful romantic. Nothing wrong with that 👍.

[@peteonretreat2023]

I agree and so far it’s been a great adventure

[@joeltardiff1105]

Its not stupid or corny , its fucking awesome..i know her pretty well from bar and she is the most down to earth,sweetest smart ( not to mention smoking hot) lady i know in thailand..im happy for both of you..your a lucky dude, but maybe this opens up.more lanes for joey 😂😂

[@peteonretreat2023]

Thank you brother 🙏🏼

[@Hjytfd.67]

You better marry her immediately!

[@peteonretreat2023]

Uh… 😬 We’re talking and we’re both in no hurry. (but she would definitely say yes)

God i hate to say it man this is Pattaya not the best place to find the love of your life i take it you havnt been coming here very long wait till money rears its ugly head , iam sure you will learn in the end good luck , by the way iam not a hater

[@peteonretreat2023]

Trust me, I know. I haven’t been coming here for long but I’ve lived here for a year. My girlfriend however is from Bangkok and only moved here this year because of reasons. I do know how crazy it is but there’s many unsaid reasons why our fears are at ease. My closest friends here know her and get it. I had no intentions of falling in love. I didn’t look for it but the two of us found each other in this crazy city. I do appreciate people’s concerns… I’ve expressed concerns myself for other friends here. I also personally know of success stories here. I have two friends here happily married for 17 and 32 years respectively. It’s rare but it does happen.

[@guymandudely324]

Marry in haste ... repent at leisure.

There is nothing quite like a sweet kind loving Thai woman, I met mine when I wasnt really looking, sadly I was just on vacation so it will be a while before I can return but we will see what happens, good luck bro
