Thai girl tells us about Thailand
A few weeks ago I got a message from a Thai girl telling me my blog is the best thing on the inter-webz since Google and most of what I say is true. Well no shit, this isn’t the best Thailand travel blog for no reason. Since I’m getting lazy to write content myself these days I went ahead and asked a Thai girl questions I think the farang would like to know.
To find out how to get laid in Thailand for free, Check out this article.
You should prepare yourself before before you go any further, it is around 5,300 words long, with no edits from me! It’s actually a pretty good read and gives the newbie visiting Thailand some knowledgeable and ideas on how Thai culture and ideals.The interview talks about drugs, bar girls, farang guys, relationships, why Thais don’t like Indian, Turkish or black men.
Enjoy!
Can you tell us a little bit about your self?
I’m a native Thai who live in Thailand ever since I was born. I just graduated a bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering. Now I’m waiting for the open semester on August for study my master degree.
In my leisure time, I like to sit on my favorite sofa watching television and make crochet dolls at the same time which I found thoroughly rewarding and enjoyable. and the doll can be sold afterward. Moreover I love reading books.
I live in Kamphaengphet which is about 5-6 hours by car far from Bangkok or 358 kilometers. This province is one of a countryside province of Thailand. I live in the capital of province I can say here is a very peaceful province; no tall building, no traffic jam, you will never experience a crowd like in Bangkok. What I like the most about my province is the people. People here are very kind and friendly. They have a generous mind and big smile. The main career in this province is farmer. They plant many kind of plant; rices, cassava, sugar cane, taroes, dragon fruits, oranges, mangoes, and the most famous agriculture product are bananas. Thailand has a lot variety of bananas, the famous bananas here literally translate is egg bananas.
The other thing that I like about my province is culture and Nature. When the civilization does not come here much, the old traditional festivals are still in held. And some believe about ghost rite in old people. Here is full of forest and nature, we have 3 national park located in this small province. Each park are full of nature, trees, waterfalls, wild animals, and camping area.

Nice article, she is quite well spoken for Thai. Well done. No huge surprises for me.
It is interesting to see how women look at the bar girls etc… and can somewhat justify their acts.
Wow..low salary for a graduated engineering student! That’s kinda crazy! She needs to goto the city and find a good paying job with that degree!
Sounds like a sweet lady.
Yeah I think she needs to move to the bigger cities, and she came across as a nice girl during the interview too.
Thank you, very interesting article
That was a good read. Interesting. She sounds like a nice thoughtful lady.
Great! Such an interesting post. She really knows what was going on around Thailand indeed. I think in general thai girls are not all the same.
Nice read, I can say that this lady you’ve interviewed is thoughtful and open-minded.
About working in Thailand, it is not true that the well-paid jobs are available only in Bangkok. There are many international companies in the North of Thailand. They would be willing to pay you a huge salary if you’re experienced and qualified for a job…
🙂
Good idea, hehe ill try my best to do one in the up coming weeks.
First of all I will like to thank u for your blog it contain good information only thing I will like to mention is u said that u heard that Indians have many wives its all rubbish on Muslims communities have many wives not Hindu this things mostly happens in middle east not Indian another thing u mentioned is about their body odour i don’t know what kind of men u smelled but it will be because of humidity he or she will be sweating because of hot teamprature another than that u r blog is good and may i know ur name or contact me on Facebook
Maddy, you should read between the lines. This isn’t just about how many wives Indians have or don’t have. Most Thai girls just aren’t attracted to Indians. It’s as simple as that. And the cultures are very, very different. Indians (both Hindus and Muslims) take their religion very, very seriously. They also do things that are culturally not acceptable in Thailand, and their views toward women are not progressive for the most part.
Also, not everyone on the skytrain smells – just the Indians and Arabs. Thais and other Asians and farangs don’t smell because they take better care of themselves.
Also, Indian fashion is really behind Bangkok. Indian men hold hands with each other… just lots of weird stuff that Thai girls do not like.
Sounds like a very socially aware young lady. I went to Thailand for the first time a few weeks ago, it’s an incredibly nice country from my experience. I stayed in Bangkok for a short while then went down to Koh Tao. Beautiful island. Beautiful people. My parents are from Indian Sub Continent, but I live in England – there’s certainly no smell from me and nor do i have several wives!! But those still in the home country – i tend to avoid them people too because its true they haven’t advanced. The men holding hands thing is still true – i went there last year.. Anyway, forget them.
I’m really looking forward to returning to Thailand as soon as I can. I will definitely try to mingle with Thai girls, I would love a nice Thai girl who can speak English too for company during my travels.
This has been a helpful post, i shall keep it for future reading x
Thai people just love white skin, this is called “racism” the fact that she believes otherwise reaffirms exactly what the world believes about thais – they are dumb and will remain dumb for generations
I am not sure this makes Thai people racist. I prefer lighter skin girls too, does this make me a racist?
Preference and Racism are two different things. Liking a lighter skin women over a darker skin women is your preference and that does not make you a racist. A racist is someone that goes beyond preferences in that their dislikes lead to hating a person because of the color of their skin or religious beliefs and worse with that hatred they want to do mental or physical harm to those people they hate.
People with preferences are usually very stable people in life. Racist are mentally unstable people and incapable of living in harmony with the people they hate or anyone else that is not exactly like them – a Racist.
Indian (North) prefers white too. the early arrivals on the sub continent usually living in the south are usually black and being treated worse. Large groups of indians are the worst when it comes to racism. Check the blood lines, if not within a considered and compatible group, they are as bad as muslims.
I think it’s only the Indians who are responsible for such a negative mindset towards Indians. I am also an Indian who has travelled Thailand many a times and I agree to a extend regarding the “Smell”, because of our spicy food we tend to smell which others can make out not us and above that many still doesn’t use deodorants. But to be very frank if you maintain basic hygiene and have extra money to float things are quite easy in Thailand. If your looking for real girlfriends then Indians will struggle, I am not saying everyone but yes most of the Indian Tourist who visit Thailand are middle class with typical Indian mindset which doesn’t make them attractive towards Thai women’s. Yes it matters how you look, your skin colour and your way of talking, if you fits in all this aspects Thai girls are easy to hang out with or if I may say easier to get laid. I did it many a times and I don’t see why others can’t.
Thailand is not the land of one same race but of various races, skin colors and backgrounds, various dialects.
The true Thailand is the area of Siam proper, a very small land, and another true Thailand is the area of Lanna proper. The northeast part (larger than england) and the South are other lands conquerred by the thai army, and the USA army was just allowed to be in these lands conquerred by thais where the thai king and the thai people do not live, never allowed to be in our capital city. but USA has been a mouth claiming it was able to send its army to Thailand arbitarily in fact thailand was its ally during the cold war.
The true thai race is a minority group of milky white skin, only people who can study at the number 1 unverisity of the country can meet such true thai people. the dark majority is thaitified.
the whitening genetics are the white thai race minority and white mon-khmer. chinese are short and darker than the true thai race minority and the white mon-khmer.
bar girls are dark skinned and generally come from the Isan state.
I have to disagree with her sentiments about bargirls. My GF comes from a middle-class Thai family, she studies in the UK now and when I have broached the subject about bar-girls then she cuts me off immediately and articulates that they are scum and lowest of the low.
I know her friends well (they are all in there 20’s, as am I) and we often party in places like Thong Lor and RCA, occasionally seeing these types of girls and I can assure you that these people are viewed just as we view hookers here in the westm with dismay and fear. I suggest that this girl who has written this article is from a poor, rural area and is used to seeing farang with Bar Girls. I also suggest that if you are a middle class Bangkokian you would have no experience or positivity about these people, indeed a quick sense check with my GF clarifies this.
For the record, I myself have spent many a night in Cowboy and Nana.
Hello!
….. and thanks for sharing those stories. It was nice to read.
I will agree with what she said about the Indians, that they smell sometimes, but I must say that the thai ladies very often smells from their mouths too since they also eat spicy food. Its not a general thing, it´s just some people.
I´m from Sweden and I´ve only been there 2 times (2013, 2014). This year not yet, maybe it will be later this year. But I love this country and their food, girls and surroundings. Its beautiful!
Nothing of the above is any news directly for me but its always good with an update and sometimes one learns something.
Thanks again for the article!
That was a good read – she is intelligent and opinionated and no doubt there are many Thai women like this – why do we mainly only hear about the gold diggers?
Because that’s usually the only type of Thai girls farangs get to see.
Good article. The girl is clearly lo so, not hi so, barely lower middle class. Lived in Thailand 12 years from rich family with MBA in finance. Hmmmm … because I am hi so and educated I have many Thai hi so friends, including politicians, hotel owners, gold shop owners, etc. Also have poor Thai friends who are Jai Dee. It’s true what all say about Thailand and its different segments as well as foreigners. To me, it’s question of accepting Thai culture, mentality, mindset, etc. To me, they are stupid ignorant people with very backward way of thinking. I don’t want to be even a rich Thai. I prefer to be Professional Farang rather than corrupt rich Thai. I prefer to have real and good values that so many judgmental Thais just don’t have. The care about money and power and image now days more than Buddhism or people. But it’s a poor cheap warm country so I love it, because I live like a King. That’s all it is. They want my money and I want the lifestyle. So we get along well. Others can have their own reasons for being here. I can’t really accept their mentality or values ever.
It was true when she said something about it is impossible to find the right person in the short period of time while you have a trip in Thailand. Most of potential girl for you will work during the day. I mean if you don’t want to find the night time working girl. And other suggestion is girls that work with travel agency are great skill for communication because they have talked to foreigners everyday. Like I am. Sometime you have to find some educated person to bring your interests more exciting. Not just that reason another is you will share yourself in equal value of life and relationships.
Sounds like a well educated and free thinking lady. Good on you 🙂 I worked in Thailand in 2005 and had an enjoyable experience during my time. I worked with a few of the girls who worked in the bars and found them to be lovely women. I gained quite a lot of insight too into how the Thais see foreigners and also had a relationship with a Thai gentleman. Thai people by and large have very strong cultural beliefs and family values. As highlighted by this lady, family values and norms are strongly identified within the structure of family life, ie a woman not sleeping with another man following marriage. I wouldn’t say that Thai people are racist but some of them are fairly judgemental to some groups, ie black people. I remember one time going to a restaurant with a black friend of mine and being constantly looked at and talked about by the Thais. They were saying some quite negative things just because I was in the company of a black person. I think its more the fact that they are a bit wary of black and some other ethnic groups. They most definately have this thing about white skin and my friends used to tell me off for sunbathing!!
