Think u guys are looking in the wrong places lol.. here is a tip, if you need to pay your girlfriend or her family, she is an employee, not a partner 😊
Employeeeeeee. Love it!
So true so true
hahahaha cold but true...I thought you were mates lolz
It's actually not as black and white as this. In certain situations, the ability to provide at times is wise and necessary.
I think Sam does have a valid point though especially number 2. , if you are wanting to date a Thai AND they have a kid, there is an expectation that she provides for the kid, that kid is usually with the girls parents in some far away field, the girl works in what ever industry they choose, if you are wanting to date the girl, and possible more correctly have their time, it they are with you they are not working.
Now do I think people should be paying bar fines and hookers, no not all all, there is no need to do that. but you can't deny that in Thailand their is a huge imbalance in wealth, If I was dating a nurse, I would pay for things as in reality I earn more a month than she does in a year, it is just a fact. The trick is however, and just my opinion here, is not being treated like a walking ATM.
Depends what you feel comfortable with, and what you can afford as well, I know a Aussie guy that works here, earns about 300k baht a month and dating a uni student, he chooses to give her money, as she would be working in her free time, your company alone won't pay the rent or pay their bills. Is it a good idea to? that is subjective to the individual, I am sure if your girlfriend, wasn't working or couldn't go away for the weekend ever because they work you would either find another one or pay for it
Your editing and your footages are getting really much better. I like to watch these vids more now. Great job!
Worst idea I’ve heard today. Finding a girlfriend in Pattaya 👎🏻
eyyy, video's doing well =P
Dowry is not mandatory, let me say it again, Dowry is not mandatory, it is a Thai tradition, if anyone is feeling pressured to spend a certain amount for dowry, it is a red flag and it is for you to proceed properly, also, plenty of single women in Pattaya, hospitals, restaurants, shopping centers, gyms, etc. And, you don't need to pay your girlfriend, but! IF you get with a woman who takes care of her whole family, and she is the sole provider, use common sense and understand that is not gonna change, and you will be expect it to help out, choose carefully, and again, common sense goes a long way! Great video bro.
Thank you for shedding light mate
For the Lady Drink and the Kool shirt Bro as I can relate to the "9-5 Escapee" Hell yeah !!
🥰🥰🥰
One thing that is different about Thailand is that often the older people have better grasp of English. Lots of Thais in their 30s and 40s have been teaching themselves English because they've realised how useful it is.
😅
Great vlog, Sam! Loved the editing on this one!
Great music 🎶 too especially @ 2.25m
good to see you back in Thailand brother, hope the info i gave you was somewhat valuable bro
Nice video mate. I'm surprised at how clear the water is at the beach. I was in Pratumnak last November and unfortunately the water was a bit murky when I was there.
Good luck with your search. Be patient and don't let your need for companionship drive you into a toxic relationship. As we say in France, mieux vaut être seul que mal accompagné (better being alone than in bad company).
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you mon ami
Solid work Sam 🙌👌
I don't live there, but I met a few gems when I was there. They exist. Many working in skilled based jobs such as cooks, hotel management, etc.. They aren't all working girls there. There are a quarter of a million people living full time in Patts, and that's not all bar ladies.
G'day Sammy, good info for the newcomers mate, you might have saved a few blokes but you know how it goes ay😂😂😂
Also you are one of the only few falungs that pronounces pattayAh correctly👍onya bud
Go explore Thailand, Pattaya is a playground not saying you can’t find love there as many people have, but there are plenty of single women in Thailand looking for a good relationship without the financial ties. I’m married to a Thai for 18 years and we met online and still happy so there is hope for you Sam! You should do more content on it ‘finding love in Thailand’ I think it will be a good watch👍
hey this is a well made video... nice to see an Aussie living their best life. I lived in Korea for about 6 years as an English teacher. a lot of my colleagues seemed to end up with stunning wives or girlfriends and me nothing. I was even better looking than most of them...could never work it out? you know what they say about a faint heart never won a fair lady... maybe that had something to do with it.
there is another Aussie in Hwa Hin called Johnny who seems to have ended up with an absolute dream boat. maybe you should ask him for some advice. But he's actually a pretty good looking bloke himself.
Jonny’s a handsome man
Well said, and I must agree. I will return to Pattaya in March, but finding a gf is not high on my list. Maybe one day when I spend 6 months of the year there.
Just so you know, the vast majority of Thais learn many years of English throughout K-12 schooling, but very few can speak it well. They do very little conversation practice and just focus on reading and writing. However the way Thai education works, even this doesn't lead to any real understanding of English (in most cases) as they just learn what they have to for the next exam and forget it straight afterwards. There is a massive focus on "getting the right answer" rather than developing an understanding. F.Y.I I'm a teacher who taught in Thailand for 7 years.
I.M.O it's SUPER important to learn Thai if you want to live in Thailand a long time, and especially if you want to broaden your dating opportunities outside of the girlie bar scene.
@@eddyk564 sage advice, and thank you for sharing. And teaching
Great response. yes English is taught in schools but it is through rote learning and is all about spelling and grammar and not conversational English. Interestingly, university entrance is through a written rather than an oral exam.
Blessing in disguise 😊
🤣
agree
lol - Pattaya definitely has some interesting types... Certainly it's the culture there which keeps most people more calm in comparison to other cultures around the world but the amount of 'broken' people around is sadly more than most would think... I love my place in Jomtien because it's quiet, has good cheap food options, a nice flat walking/cycling area (outside of construction times), great sunsets and weather....but good friends are rare, especially on my 4-6 week stays there... A good partner (not looking - already have in Aus) would be rare...
Interestingly I think you invited my Aussie mate/colleague to a party a couple of months ago at your place! Turns out from the same suburban area as Sam! He was making use of my place there...
@@evansmusic2009 Ahhh yes!!! 👍🏻
You made a very good point about not being able to sustain a relationship with someone when you can't communicate properly. It amazes me how many farang men do this speaking only pigeon English with their partner. .
@@mcb00m You can spell ‘their’ so you’re in the minority anyway 🤣
@@GoneAdrift😂 in patts this week will say if we see you
Mate..... come on. All you need is a good wingman ! Goose or Iceman style ! hahaha..... you know we wil be rocking all around Pattaya town and hopefully also BKK !!
ooh first comment yeaaa hahahaha.. happy to see you back in thailand ;)
You pretty much nailed it.💯
You can find a girlfriend once you know how to vet her , just like shes vetting you , dont settle for less than what your not willing to put up with , no woman is perfect but its worth it when you do find that woman ...... Keep in mind , its 2 people whom are choosing each other to take a chance on ...... lets go .
Haha, Sam! You crack me up. I actually think the language barrier keeps a lot of couples together 😂 How about getting a girlfriend who isn’t Thai? Would solve a lot of the problems you mentioned.
Yes it would 🤭
Asia lifehack: Get a bi missus, never cheat a day in your life...😉
Zinggggggg!!!!!!
Hell yeh!
yes definately need a "gik"
Nice video 😊
Absolutely Outstanding
I guess I'm in the minority here, but OMG, she's gorgeous! I just want to have coffee, drinks, dinner, and sunsets with her. No worries, no stress, just enjoy a beautiful time together. Maybe even a deeper, 'higher' love together. (Yes, I'm thinking of the Steve Winwood song, lol.) Great video, Sammy!
Haha love it!! 🎶
Easier said than done though in reality 😅..
The challenge of finding a girlfriend exists all over the world. Each place has its different reasons. You’ve identified the Pattaya-specific reasons very well, and it can be tough, but just remember - you are not alone!
Seems like May might be the oerfect match! I dont know about other guys but I dont need a girlfriend to be with me 24/7. If I can see her a few hours per week...AWESOME!
Great video thank you
To be honest bro you dot need one, this way you will still focus on yt vids for us haha!
100%
Try looking for something a little bit older, like up to 40 with no kids and is educated with a normal 9-5. My experience is that these women exercise and take care of themselves, have accepted that they won’t have kids or just don’t want them, and are not looking for the most handsome, but rather the most loyal and fun. When I met my gf, soon to be wife, she was 37 and now 39, has an accounting degree, works 9-5 with weekends off, kids is optional, still looks very young, is an amazing cook, body count of 2, and is like I believe to be like most Thai women, very sweet, loving, patient and caring. She is, by far, the best woman I’ve ever met. I used Thai friendly, took my time to get to know about her and her family, set boundaries, and went with the flow. Is our relationship perfect? No, but it’s 95%, and that’s more than enough for me.
In meeting her, I found many around her that were similar in their lifestyle, needs and wants.
Yours's is different.
@@rocketman1828 she is not different. In fact, she is the majority, but ya have to get away from the party areas to find them.
@@Ronald_Jon I meant that sarcastically.
I had similar , but alas after 19 months it sadly ended. Now ok on my own though 😅
Paradise comes with its drawbacks for sure! You would probably do better in Bangkok with a totally different dynamic.....but.....its not Pattaya. A bit of damned if you do, damned if you dont 😞
One thing is for sure.....we will be here to share the journey and live vicariously thru you!
The subscriber you cited was 10000% correct. Its extremely unfortunate that your myopic view of Thailand is so heavily tainted by Pattaya. I really do hope you get to spend some time in a normal place (Chiang Mai), where you can meet a proper , educated Thai girl without all the baggage that you seem to have grown accustom to.
or Hua Hin
Cheers mate, she's cute,
🙂
@ 4:35 what beach are you at in pattaya ?
Pratamnak Soi 5 :)
I just moved to Pattaya and feel ya. Some great points but it sure is fun finding love I’m not sure.
Bro you got to look for a professional career oriented woman. Pretty much every woman I dated had a college degree and a career for an example. Yea you cant judge a person by education but I am for sure not going to pay for someone else’s family. I worked too hard and made too many sacrifices to be played because at the end of the day it always comes down to money.
I will say, one of my mates has won the lottery. Managed to meet a girl that had literally been in the bar 3 days (we know the owner of the bar and he confirmed it wasn’t just a story), and is now living the semi-married life up in Udon Thani. So it can happen. Right place at the right time.
Your family are just as important as hers
Great points
Yes there is no shortage of attractive women. Lots of single moms. Is there anything such as divorce from the village Dad ?? To solve the language barrier one could consider Filipina but that opens up a whole new set of issues. Great video.
You can find a ‘ girlfriend’ but with many issues to overcome as you say 😅
Sammy , if you’re serious about finding a real relationship worthy girl you need to look more in Bangkok , there are plenty of them there , educated , beautiful working and stable. Stay positive mate
Wrong city to find a GF bro. & asking Mac for advice on girls bahaaaaa
Touche
@Gone Adrift Yeah...Life Must Be Reallllllllly Hard After Watching This Intro!!!
Bahahaha super draining 🤣🤣🤣
Good luck bro.. you’ll meet someone nice soon 💯
Thanks Dav
@ all good bro
So who is this 👀 👍🏽 🇺🇸 😍
My thai gf doesnt speak english and we get by 1 year and all is good still.
i think it works for many people :)
It can be challenging, but if both want, they will communicate with ease in time...
I think you will be good as long as you rent everything or buy in your name, i.e. her life is good and comfortable as long as she stays with you but she loses all the benefits when/if she leaves.
A lot of simps bought vehicles in their Thai wives' names, built houses on their land, and then were surprised when they got kicked out of these houses 🤷
@@SvirepiyBambr-xw8rw Good advise there. I been kicking around for over 20 years in Thailand and I maybe cynical but I dont buy into the land of smiles. Thai culture is very money oriented. There are good and bad girls just like in any country. This place will eat you alive if you are naive.
Good point. And its not just pattaya. Am in hua hin now and every girl here just want customers or free dinner/drinks.
They dont have time, want money for family or like you said. Dont want to be holiday girlfriend because they know the guy will look for someone else at a later point.
Sadly. But good point and good video. May can have my number tho 😜
@@Pointern I’ll pointern her in your direction
I think it should be
“ you dont want a girlfriend in Pattaya “
Or is that Part 2
🫣😎
This video is real. Been with one for 7 years. All this is true
You have out done your self mate all dressed in white its hard to take your eyes off it but dude that is a bloody nice scooter
Imagine having 100 expats visiting everyday. These girls will get guys wanting to take them out for dinner & $$$ they dont need a bf lol.
If they work in a bar sam thats a automatic HELL NAW
The best chance you ,for you I mean every guy, has is to move to another non-touristic, more genuine Thai city. There you will have a better chance of finding a genuine Thai lady. Women who have jobs and pride, and possibly less financial needs. The problem for you is that you will actually have to devote your time to learning the language. It's dispirating to see the lack of effort foreigners make in this regard. If you don't want to trouble yourself with that, then, hey! stay in Pattaya.
Hope you find happiness with a Thai lady.
Location, location, location. Pattaya is the issue IMO
@@kyletaz 💯
meet one that speaks good english you better be on the ball i no i been married to one for 15 years
I know a few women Sam, but yeah the Thai language is a thing, invest in a course, you will be fine, my thai is terrible and I have been here for years. I am older though 45, Interestingly though I have girl friends but don't really want an actual girlfriend, be there on the 11th , sent you email with my line id on it ...but if want a girlfriend, easy enough, come to Bangkok and I will introduce to you some nurses I know, you get a new tat?
Lock it in Eddy!!
God no, a homeless thai man came up and started doing it in henna at the beach. I tipped him 🙏🏻
I had assumed May was your GF... ;-p
Who cares. As long as she speaks Greek. 555
haha lol 555 mate your looking in the wrong place Thailand is not a easy place to find a girlfriend its actually real hard to find real girl it toke me 5 years to find mine and even then i was introduced buy a friend think u will have better luck in different country
The Thai Tattoo on your right Arm is new right? :)
a drunk homeless thai guy did it with henna
😂 i remember when u first moved to Thailand i asked u how long till u get yourself a thai gf. Never was the response from u. hahaha mate i think your looking in all tbe wrong places. Come on bro i know u can find one
U don't go to Pattaya to find a girlfriend, at least not a real one, 'cause u won't...buy a lottery ticket, better
Thanks for the video. Might I suggest a slight shift in your perspective? While your thoughts are valid, you are not addressing the root cause. You have to adjust the circles you travel in. You will find more compatible people (language wise, but also lifestyle and culture) in Thai middle class.
@@GlitteratiLive Question is, does the audience crave middle class 🤯
@@GoneAdriftit does, but because of different reasons. In Thai society there is a significant difference between male and female values. What relationships are concerned, the female middle class has shifted towards the Western values (not identical, though, that is a topic for another occasion) while the male middle class remains stuck in a patriarchical view. This opens up significant largely untapped potential. Summary: you have the potential to really shine, I promise you, and these are not just words. We can discuss in person next time I am around. Can share spectacular real-life examples that will blow your mind.
@@GlitteratiLive good advice.... strong is the force with this one...
Appreciate it guys 🙏🏻
😂 BKK and aim for an import 😂 lots of smart independent women there.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sounds grim
Sorry Sam, but poor video today. I like your stuff but this was a big miss. Talk about fishing in the wrong pond!! Pattaya and girlfriend just don't go in the same sentence. Party place where women want to max out the opportunity with farang holidaymakers - and why blame them? You say they don't speak good enough English - learn Thai! You're in their country, as am I. Have lessons and stand out from the other farang. Make the effort.
You're better than this.
@@mattpiper7895 appreciate the ongoing support. Alas, after 5 weeks back in Oz, I have to get the wheels turning again. Best way to do it is to talk about females
@@GoneAdrift you have to feed the algorithm I suppose but it wasn't anything new - I really liked your trip on the motorbike trip. That was interesting and very human. This one you actually asked Mac for his advice on women??? TWF??
It is common for people to say "learn the language" to immigrants or expats but I think they fail to acknowledge how different it is to say that to someone in Colombia, Germany, or Japan vs someone in Thailand/Cambodia. Thais might as well be outright HOSTILE to Thai learners in a way completely unlike anywhere else in the world. I don't speak any German for example, and I've spent less than 200 hours studying the language, but amazingly when i go to do shopping or get coffee I understand what they say to me. That's because it's a supportive environment, they actually DO speak to me. I studied over 2000 hours of Thai, and in my most recent 90 days trip in Thailand no one ever said anything to me in Thai. They're total assholes, the Thais, very arrogant and self-centered. I realize you can't call it racist, because they will even do this to a South Korean for example - forcing the English language on him whether or not he speaks it.
@@parasitius Well I think it boils down to history.
Unlike Cambo, Vietnam, Laos, there’s never been a Spanish / French / British / Dutch occupation here, so Thailand has been able to retain it’s roots which is probably why it’s so very special. We take the good with the bad.
In the scheme of things it’s only a mere needle skip in the record of time and language changes like the ebb and flow of the tide.
I should’ve been a poet
@@mattpiper7895 Mac’s due far more credit than you give him. He knows his audience and pitches accordingly.
I'm not surprised.
Girlfriend in Pattaya? Not need!
Pattaya is the wrong place to look for a girlfriend 😮
