Hi Jim,

I hate to kick you while you are down, but I just stumbled upon this. It maybe the reason she is in Malaysia. Since you already know she's with another guy it would be best to forget her and concentrate or your next tour. It may not be the easiest thing to do, but take it from an old fart, at 23 you have a BUNCH of living yet to do.

My dear old Mother used to console me when I was your age and been dumped by a girl, "don't worry, there are plenty more fish in the sea," she'd say and once I grasped the true essence of that statement, life got a whole lot easier and she was right. I wouldn't be worried, I'd get active finding a suitable replacement at home to fill in until the next Thai trip.

Southern unrest forces sex workers into north Malaysia

The Nation
Publication Date : 2006-01-25

Thai sex workers have been forced to cross the border to work in northern Malaysia because unrest in the South has caused a drop in customers.

A leading figure in the region’s tourism industry confirmed Tuesday (Jan 24) a Malaysian newspaper report that a growing number of sex workers had entered Malaysia due to the violence.

But Saengthong Preechawutthidej, owner of Marina Sungai Kolok Hotel and former president of Narathiwat’s Tourism Business Association, said such “labour migration” was not new as Thai sex workers regularly go to Malaysia in search of business.

But the number of Malaysian tourists has dropped dramatically since the violence flared in the three southernmost provinces.

Songchai Mungprasithichai, a key member of an association of tour guides in Songkhla, said prostitutes have been crossing the border into Malaysia for more than a decade and that they have operated in a very systematic fashion with “traffickers” facilitating their movement, including temporary resettlement.

The New Straits Times newspaper reported Tuesday that the migration of Thai prostitutes began last year after an escalation of bombings and other violence by Islamic insurgents in the South provinces significantly reduced the number of Malaysians and other tourists.

The newspaper quoted an unidentified police source as saying cyber cafes and beauty salons in Kelantan provided partitioned back rooms for the sex workers, who charge customers between 100 and 300 ringgit (US$26-80) a time.

I think that thing is mostly about the girls living around Pattani or Yala, sounds like that to me. But either way, im not worried about that.

You should cut your loses while you can, Or you will be in for a lot of heartache.....

PS:
Q: Should you worry about her?
A: No, She has probably been doing this long before you ever met her, And is more than likely well able to take care of herself..... Thats my advice but obviously you dont want to hear that, And will carry on worrying about her until finally she breaks your heart...... Nobody ever listens to good advice until its too late, Me included

I used to be like that and had my heart broken several times. On hindsight
all that agony was for nothing. Time DOES Heal all wounds.

Lots of advise..

As I said when you first came back.. The difficulty in staying touch and cultivating a long distance relationship may not be worth the fruit of seeing her once or twice a year.

I remember living for 3 month or so with a girl when I was about 19 and she was already booked to go be an au pair for a yera prior to us meeting.. She went to the states for a year and it was hell for both of us.. Swore never again would I do any form of long distance relationship. Hence when I met wifey1 she came back to live with me in Holland less than 48 hours after I left Thailand.

Also have to say

Quote:
Jimmy i know quite a few girls in LOS that have been honest with me, they tell me when they go with guys, they tell me most things...
If they tell me all the stuff maybe they tell other falangs too...
The point is, some of them use it as a tactic to make you trust em.
At the end of the day she aint your girl - she has sex with guys for money. Dont get too cut up about it... you known her only 3 weeks...

is probably the stand out advise I see in this thread.. Hard but tue.

Yep...l got burnt with a long distance relationship.

I was in Melbourne....she was in Katherine NT (330km south of Darwin).....about 3 days solid driving from Melbourne (not that l ever did that)......it was 2 years of hell, coz l was quite keen on this girl, and she kept on putting off coming back to Melbourne.

Anyway never again....that is why l don't consider myself in a relationship with my thai friend......if she goes with someone else good luck to her.

Then I have to say that I'm so glad we are different.... and it's beyond belief that you never fall for any of these girls.

I knew a guy like that. He had an absoulte rule: 3 days and she's gone. So after we saw him with the same lady for more than a week we asked what happened to the rule. "This one's different." Well, good luck to him - they've been married for 4 years now.

I also had rules, one of them was to never get too involved. We know how that ended.

It's the word "ďf"

If I had money.
If I had work.
If I win the jackpot.

A lot of tourist fall in love the first time they visit Thailand. They fall in love with girls who living with 10 other girls in small rooms sleeping on the floor and are very poor. At night they sell their body for a good price. The money they get from the tourist they share with their friends for some food and clothes. Only the most pretty and lucky girls will stay there and hope one day a rich farang will take them to their country. Most cases the girls just go home after a couple of months. Every time you go to Thailand the bar has new girls and both the bargirls and the tourists hunting dreams. If you meet a normal Thai girl she would never sleep with you before marriage and goes around with you but will never stay alone with you. You can dream there for the duration of your holiday. Once home again, forget everything and save money for your next trip instead of sending your money to her and keep on dreaming.

So face the facts and stop dreaming.

Seriously, I am thinking about it.
Not only to end his suffering, but he seems like a good guy and maybe he does need to be given a chance in life.

But first I go holiday!

I have never been married before, but I have 3 children with 2 different women, so I have some experience in life. The only different I see between western girls and BG's is that BG's do it for money and western girls f¤ck for fun.
