What I like and don’t like about living in Chiangmai?!

I’m telling about what I like and don’t like about my life in Chiangmai! I’m sure I haven’t learnt everything yet and probably will take me many years to say that I understand Thai mentality. Hope it will be quicker, Thai and Kazakh culture are the same in a lot of things.

You look like you could be in your early 50s so why would a 60 year old guy not flirt with you???

[@kirkfleming1041]

That was my thoughts exactly!

[@almightystu]

Not all white guys are angry, and looking to hook up with locals. Some of us are pretty chilled and looking for places to just go, relax enjoy the food and perhaps have random conversations with different cultures.

@@almightystu so happy to read this! I’m sure the more I live here, the more I’ll learn and my mindset will be changing everyday)

[@jascforfun7576]

Not all, not everyone of course but there is still a significant proportion of Western male tourists in Thailand who are there expressly for paid sex. This proportion is significantly higher than those in Singapore or Malaysia, for comparison to another SEA country. These people aren't the most refined or respectul, as you'd expect.

[@almightystu]

@@jascforfun7576 I agree to a point, but would you also say some Thais have something to do with this too? If you walk past bars in certain areas in any touristy town or city, even during the day, you'll have Thai women grabbing at males genitals as a way to try and stop them from walking past, or just latch on to the guy until they give in, honestly makes me cringe. Don't really think their actions is either refined or respectful and doesn't happen in places like beer street in Hanoi, and I'm sure not in Singapore or Malaysia (although I haven't been there). I guess my point is, it takes two to tango. But there is a horrible stigma attached to Thailand, which is such a shame

Sidewalks are a bit sketchy

[@mmaranta785]

They might find you attractive

[@steverosse]

"My life: where I go, what I buy." Man, that says a lot about you.

[@kirkfleming1041]

I'm 60 and I am surprised that you would be surprised that a 60 year old man might still want to flirt. Kind of offensive!

[@ranctil3]

Interesting to get an attractive, intelligent older woman's experience of Chiang Mai. As a repeat visitor to the area I agree with many of your observations. Traffic is a nightmare and definitely not great city for walking around especially crossing the streets, it needs more overpass walkways because cars don't stop at the crosswalks.

[@Expat_diaries]

@@leonrozenberg thank you ❤️

[@raf5547]

you look 50 plus, so be flattered that guys look at you!

[@frankmos61g89]

Very important video - what I've been waiting for, for the last 10 years - a video about a woman and what she is buying🙄🙄

[@awakening80]

Your opinions are rather subjective. Old "white men" in asia are disgusting? Try making conversation w said white men. Your opinion may change. Don't judge a book by its cover.

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

Just found your channel, you are from Sri Lanka? That country is also on my list to visit, from what I"ve seen it inexpensive, safe, has gorgeous beaches, and is not crowded with tons of tourists.

[@Expat_diaries]

@@Deadfoot-Dan no, I’m not from Sri Lanka) I’m from Kazakhstan. You definitely should visit, it’s still pretty wild there. I’d say it’s Thailand in the 80-90)))

[@ratnoinamaew7822]

Have you found any Sri Lankan food in Thailand? in 30 years I have never found any!!

[@Expat_diaries]

Not that I was looking for it) but I was sure there’s… So many Sri Lanka people move to live in Thailand. Sad to hear that…

[@JJMA52]

Strange take on the white guys (no I am not a white guy or an old guy).... You're not a 18-20 year old that a man in his 50s or 60s would be weird talking to... They would have thought you are the same age as you look it. Anyway, good thumbnail - it worked!

[@GUITARTIME2024]

Lady, your attitude isnt great. You think a 60 yr old guy looking at you is "disgusting", but he could get a 22 yr old easily, so calm yourself. You're getting a bit older so maybe be grateful. Also, those staring white guys are likely European. Its common that people from various parts of Europe "stare" a lot more than you might be used to. (I lived in Europe for years). Has nothing to do with them thinking you're "working". 😅

[@eastowest]

“Its common that people from various parts of Europe ‘stare’ a lot … has nothing to do with them thinking you're ‘working’.” I’ve been living in Asia for 34 years now, nearly 2 in Thailand, and every expat I know could tell you countless stories about their Asian wives or girlfriends being hit on by white sex tourists. You’re delusional if you think that isn’t so. And if you think that a 60-year-old guy isn’t disgusting because he could get a 22-year-old, you’re the one with an attitude problem.

[@Lukezzz518]

You’re a loser bro the amount of hate and venom poured into this message cah 60 year old guys stare at her for ages 😂😂 you’re the definition of a cuck mate thinking that’s alright wouldn’t even mind you’re probably a little runt that no one wastes their time looking at

[@EmpowerWave-ol2ol]

Very narrow minded narrative, however l love CM good luck.

[@BadMedizin]

Crude

[@mikechasmar4154]

There is nothing wrong with sex tourism. Men have needs and women have need for men's wallets. Show some empathy for the starving men. Woman can just go outside and find a sex for free.
