My Thoughts on Dating Girls in Thailand, Vietnam and The Philippines

I've been watching David Bond in the Philippines and he confirms my personal experiences after having traveled to, and lived in South East Asia. Here I break down my personal experiences after 10+ years of being an expat and debunk a lot of myths and assumptions men who don't travel have.

He privated this video 🤷- Wait, now it's back.

I've lived in both Thailand and Vietnam for years. I didn't just travel to these places for a few weeks. I lived in both countries and have had both meaningful and casual relationships with women in both countries.

During my time as an English teacher in Thailand, I worked with numerous Filipinos so I am familiar with that culture as well.

If you're wondering, Filipinos work typically as English teachers or in hospitality here in Thailand. They are usually poorly paid as a teacher ($500 a month) and send their money back home to their parents and extended family which results in them being constantly broke and having to borrow money from one another.

It's a harsh reality for a lot of the Filipino teachers here working at government schools.

Remember though, I said teachers.

Not all Filipinos work as teachers. My friend Mike is from Cebu and does real estate here in Thailand and makes 80K Baht a month. A totally reasonable salary that is much better than what any western ESL teacher in a Thai government school is making.

They have a strong proficiency of English so its quite common to see them working at government schools around Thailand. Because they are so numerous, they usually form local organizations and support each other quite well whereas for American and European expats, our local organization is the bar (joking).

I have a good understanding of the women in all three countries so I want to share my experiences with the women here in this post about dating as an expat.
