DO NOT move to any country for the women. Period. This reason alone is a shitty reason to move to a different country.Bao3niang wrote:I've never been there yet, but I'd love to go and am considering settling down. Maybe when I first go I will teach English for a bit.
I've heard Thailand has more job positions for English teachers than people who apply for jobs. Such is the demand and easiness to get an English teaching job.
And YES I've found Thai women to be really hot! Especially their slightly tanned skin is pretty!
Where is it better in Thailand? Chiang Mai or Bangkok? I've seen that it's cheaper in Chiang Mai (according to the map of Living Costs in USD by Country), but where is better for experiencing the culture and of course picking up women?
I would definitely suggest a stay of six months to a year before packing up and moving to Thailand.
If you have a degree and a TEFL, teaching is an option. Unless you're working in a university or in a good school, not just teaching English, the pay is generally poor, from 25-40K a month. This is not a job I would want to do for longer than a year but that's just me. Also, if you are going to work as a teacher, make sure you do it legally. Working for a school that doesn't sponsor you for a work permit is something you don't want to do.
Are you coming to Thailand to be around other foreigners or to be with Thais? Chiang Mai is a nice city but is the hub of foreigners hoping to make it and it's a tourist city, much like Phuket. Also, it's not that much cheaper than Bangkok. If you really want to experience the culture, go out to the villages. Work in a school in a smaller town. The pay will be less but the people will tend to be nicer and the cultural experience less westernized.
I personally prefer Bangkok or Suratthani or cities where they're not geared towards tourists. By Bangkok, I mean the areas away from the nightlife like where I live, in Bangkapi. Suratthani is a huge province and I am not referring to Koh Samui, I'm referring to out in the jungle where my wife and I have some land. But there are many places that are good options. Whether you want to go there is a different story. Personally, I think this best way for a guy to learn about Thailand is total immersion. Get a job in a small city, live on the outskirts of a village, get to know some of your neighbors, meet some farm girls, find the educated ones, and build a network of "friends." In Thailand, things take time. Most guys don't have what it takes to swoop on women in a day or two, it's a process. You get to know them a little, you build trust, get them to relax, and then they come around. I liken them to flowers that blossom. They're closed off when you first meet them but get them to relax and they truly blossom.
