... in response to I stand corrected, posted by Jeff S on Aug 25, 2001 Asian women from other countries in Thailand might include Vietnamese, Lao, and Cambodian, as well as
Chinese, Filipinos, and Burmese-(mostly Shan) some were refugees. Others might be there for other reasons, as Jean mentions above. In addition, there are minority groups that
have lived in Thailand for some time that are not typically
Thai in their attitudes. Some of these people are treated as inferiors by Thais and so they do not care what Thais
think and will more readily have a connection to Western
men. In addition, there are some Thais at bottom of the
socio-economic mix in Thailand that may have a relationship
with a westerner...they are simply beyond caring what others think.
Generally, I was NOT impressed with Thailand as a
place to meet a woman for marriage. After living in the Philippines and being married to a Filipina...I would have to agree with a comment I have heard...if you want to
meet a woman for a serious relationshhip...Thailand is for men who have not been to the Philippines.
my second 2cents worth...
