Sometimes it works
Looking back at some old photos I couldn't believe that I have been going with my Thai B/G G/F for nearly 1 year.
I met her in a bar in Kamala in October 2004 (I think) and spent about 5 days with her. I had been to Thailand a couple of times before and usually butterfly until I find someone with whom I am compatible and then spend the rest of the time with her.
I usually go back to Thailand every 3 months for a couple of weeks and spend the time with my G/F.
As I have said before, I went down the sponsorship track and, to my knowledge, my G/F quit the P4P scene as soon as I started sponsoring her. She still worked in the bar for a while but said that she got too many problems by not going with the punters so she gave it up.
The bar was owned by a friend of hers and all the girls were from a small circle of friends that had known each other for a while. I am still good mates with the owner of the bar partly due to the fact I make good inroads into his stock of alcohol when I am there.
The sponsorship thing was a risk I guess, but I have long ago given up complaining about things that don't go my way.
I have paid my share (split with family) of hospital costs for my G/F and her mama. My G/F keeps a log of all these type expenses and shows me photos and the invoices when I go to Thailand.
Now she is working in Bangkok with her dad and she returns to Kamala when I return to Thailand. Our relationship is comfortable and we enjoy time together and apart with our own mates.
If I was a young guy I would not go down this track. Too many women but plenty of time when you are young. However the relationship suits me now.
From the feedback I have been getting the chances of this type of relationship working are pretty much less that 5% but when it does it is a lot of fun. About zero chance of working if you only visit once a year.
I wouldn't like to live in Thailand full time as I have a great group of family and friends in Oz but I reckon 2 x 3 months (6 months each year) should work fine.
So, sometimes it works........
Here are some photos from the trips.
