Dating in Bangkok: Expat Women Share Stories & Advice - Part 2 [Season 3, Episode 65]

Part 2 of a panel discussion with four guests! Why four?
Well, everyone knows that cliche about Bangkok being a heaven for
expat men, but we didn't know much about what it's like for expat
women. It stands to reason that one woman can't speak for all
women, so we upped the game a bit.


We discuss a myriad of stories that show how complex,
nuanced, and (depending on the person) important the issue is to
a life well lived in the capital.


Among many other things, the ladies discuss dating horror
stories, advice for new joiners, adjusting standards and
expectations, and expat women-only social media groups to vet
potential mates, advice for newbies.


Also discussed - after a move to Thailand does a male 5
become a 7, and does a female 7 become a 5? Why are Thai men shy
about approaching expat women, and why are so many expat men
bitter against expat women? What is a "gik"- and does Greg have
one? (spoiler - hells to the no).
