mongatu Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Says AF16: I learned a lot I wished I had not. Being naiv is a good life if no one messes with you Or, put another way, 'ignorance is bliss,' for some, I guess. Not me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soongmak Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 What I do know is that I?m not capable of telling love from business. Not the best starting point. AF16, You are right about it not being the best starting point. True or not, many thais will consider you a very rich man simply because of the colour of your skin. Just like a millionaire, you should be very wary if somebody likes you for what you are or just for the size of your wallet. If you don't want to be cautious like that, you are better off with a girl who shares the same background as you. Sad but true. Cheers, soongmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
check_bin_krap Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 "Or, put another way, 'ignorance is bliss,' for some, I guess. Not me though. " ................................................................ For me its keeping trust in human values, staying away from the bar scene because it does damage to oneself. I know that from experience, picking up girls and talking about love and then shutting it down - almost like a routine, when you leave them. Getting desperate cries for help after you have gone home - which you know whatever you do you cant fix it. It took a long time to get out of that evil circle. And it does affect ones life outside the scene. I would say the opposite - living that life is a lie and ignorance indeed. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thalenoi Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Jumping in late here First AF16, happy you got out of this bad situation. Secondly, the other Thailand exists. Some of us have happy thai relationships. Keep your eyes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmine Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Hi, [color:"red"] I would say the opposite - living that life is a lie and ignorance indeed. [/color] Whew I finally had time to read this thread. I have had a good shelterred life also. I was a fool when I first met some Thai women abroad, especially in Germany. Most of them came from BG background and being ignorant I believed everything they said and spent a bit of money on "loans" that never it paid back. However, because of that experience, it mkes me a little wiser that I don't believe everything I hear, just more cautious. Mind you, the bad experience did not happen only with the ex-BGs, also with some normal Thais. So, life is a learning process but I would rather keep my mind open for there are many good people also. :: Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF16 Posted April 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 No, no, it was in no way directed at Jasmine. She has been very supportive and honest to me in private, and I think very highly of her. I know that she have only good intentions with what she say, and I think she is a very wise woman. I do notice what she say. Kamui, trust me when I say that it?s all different now. I would not believe me either , but I can assure you that it is. I have let go. It?s not about the same thing anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
