Thailand burns, where’ll Aussies go for cheap sex?
Australian’s love holidaying in Thailand. The food is cheap, the accommodation is cheap, the alcohol is cheap and the climate is delightful. But let’s face it, nobody is travelling to Thailand just to stare at Tuk Tuks or to eat curry laksa’s all day.
Yes, in Thailand the sex too is also cheap. Ridiculously cheap.
Newly weds who come back with wild stories about how the bride had to fight off the locals from hubby? Thailand.
The increasing amount of weird couples you see around Australia featuring a dropkick socially awkward either ridiculously skinny or ‘gargantuan in the gut’ type guy with a slim non-english speaking asian looking woman and you just can’t help but ask yourself ‘how the hell did that happen?!’ Thailand.
Your virgin mate coming from an overseas trip with STD’s you’ve never even heard of? Yep, you guessed it, Thailand.
Hell even the Thai airlines logo looks like a sideways penis.
I once met a guy who told me his story of how he’d go to Thailand and bring back a wife. If things didn’t work out he’d just dump her and go find another one. With flights to Thailand costing a mere $800 and living expenses whilst you’re over there searching being ridiculously cheap, it’s not that difficult to see the attraction.
He was up to wife number 4.
For me when I see these couples it’s a hard reminder that there are women out there for whatever reason with hearts of stone. I mean how else could you allow yourself to get into such a situation with the possibility of being discarded so easily.
Something about the couples just makes me uneasy and uncomfortable.
I have no doubt many lonely Australian men’s plans have literally gone up in flames with the recent riots in Thailand between anti-government protesters and police. Mid-year holidays are just around the corner and with Rudd dollars fresh in hand I’m sure some guys just can’t wait to jump on a plane.
What are they going to do now?

I love the little off the cuff comments in this, a number of times you had me laughing.
In the US we don’t face the Thai wives, but it is not uncommon to see a Euro wife, especially in large metro areas. I, too, am uncomfortable for some reason. It’s almost like the couple is trying to fake it until they make it – which never seems to work.
I don’t know that the all of the women have hearts of stone, though. I think – and I could be off here – that a number of them are looking for a way out of a bad situation.
Granted, they may be going from bad to worse, but the mentality seems to be the marriage route is an escape path.
All said and done, it’s not my thing.

Ah so while Australians are mostly responsible for the success of the ‘hallo there, come take home our submissive thai princess beautys today!’ emails, you guys are the ones responding to the ‘eyyy come down to rahsha and meet ze wonderful women’ emails!
You speak to your people and i’ll speak to mine, lets stop the public awkwardness!

EXACTLY! We really need to put an end to it.
Actually, I remember attending a work event and one had is new wife there (like she just came over the day before!) It was so very weird. They didn’t even know anything about each other.

um… those characters on that pic you posted is actually Chinese not Thai. I am sure that’s a poster for brothels in China not Thailand…

I think the ‘Asian girls for sale on e-bay’ mentality is wrong!!! Just remember, some Asians are as Caucasians as white people… Just because they have olive skin doesnt mean they are all ‘brides from e-bay’…

@Van: Tell me about it. I’ve worked customer service previously and I love the ones that have trouble communicating to their “partners”. I have no idea how they make married life work at home.
@cuteface: Yeah the billboard is from Hongkong I believe…. asians are available for sale on ebay now?

Maybe they could just get girlfriends like normal people.
I wonder though why you single out women as having “hearts of stone”? The same applies to men who do that stuff.
Oh and curry laksa is Malaysian btw, not Thai. Sorry for being pedantic.

I thought “dropkick socially awkward either ridiculously skinny or ‘gargantuan in the gut’ type guy” was relatively equal to a heart of stone. There’s the huge perception that Asian women are submissive amongst these types of guys, probably due to the english barrier and anime.
They simply don’t have the confidence and/or are too ugly to get women in Australia so flashing a bit of money overseas is appealing to them.
As for Laksa, I’m SURE you can get a laksa in Thailand somewhere

stop blaming the asians. the aussie are desperate to get a wife at home so they go to places like thailand.mind you the wives are far better than the average aussie women.they are not agressive and generally cultured,if you know what I mean.
who wants fat ,men-like, foul- mouthed chain-smoking,selfish women?

Ah Boomerang you sound like a satisfied customer.
Why are you trying to pickup fat, men-like, foul-mouthed chain smoking women in the first place?
…is it because you fit the bald-fat-ugly-man-with-no-prospects who goes overseas to nab an asian wife stereotype?

Just a question for you Oz:
Are all men who go out with Asian girls ‘bald-fat-ugly-man-with-no-prospects’?
Once again, when you see a caucasian Aussie with a small Asian girl on the street, do you automatically assume that the Aussie is SO desparate for a woman that he had to go hunt in Asia?
May 19th, 2009 at 10:18 pm ozsoapbox(Quote)
Only the ones that go fishing in Thailand.
I don’t automatically assume but I usually draw my own conclusions when it’s clear the woman barely speaks a word of english and the guy is talking to her like she’s a retarded 3 year old child.

Lol I come across this thread a bit late but I have to comment. Did you spiteful buggers out there ever think that some men and women actually fancer or prefer Asian, South American, Russian or whatever other nationality someone might originate from. I know for myself that I was taken by the seemingly much nicer nature of many of the people I was lucky to meet from other countries many of them very poor etc. I wonder if Aussies realise how up ourselves and important we have all become over the past decade or two. What makes us all that good that we criticize others for wanting a bit of company in their lives be they men or women as don’t worry I have met women who couldn’t find a partner therefore happiness in Australia becuase they arent good enough, rich enough, worth enough or whatever for anyone in Australia as well. Good luck to those wanting a partner (not just sex)enough to do something about it no matter how misguided and shame on the rest of us narrow minded dicks who have those things already and would deny others of the same.

What a load of crap, men will find woman who are nice to them and what they want, and then all we here is the lonley white girls crying, Ozzie girls are easy, just men dont want them that much anymore, thank feminism.

Nice to them works both ways. what tends to happen is western society’s dropkicks go off in search of desperate Asian women from 3rd world countries looking to leave. They treat them like crap and subsequently they wind up leaving them (or just putting up with it).
Make no mistake the women aren’t stupid, they know they could do better they just don’t neccesarily have the option back in their homeland.
Thankfully in Taiwan it’s not so blatant as it is in Thailand. Generally speaking here the older guys I’ve seen tend to have suitable older not-so-attractive wives/girlfriends too. You do run into the odd clearly mismatched couple though but I guess that’s going to happen anywhere.
Yet to see a dropkick punching way above his belt yet though (young teachers aside but that’s a supply and demand problem!).

Hmmm if things were so simple. If you believe in these huge generalisations, doesn’t that mean you aren’t intelligent to understand that life if far more complicated.
That you would put so much effort into and be so emotional about this matter suggests you secretly wish you could snap up an Asian bride on Ebay.
Come on! Own up! you know you want one.
If I were old and lonely I’d love one!

Living in Taiwan this prospect is all too real, and I certainly don’t need eBay to acomplish it. Asian brides aren’t all Thailand desperates looking to leave their country though, some of the Asian brides I’ve seen here… whilst devatatingly pretty seem like far too much work in the crazy department.
We’re talking like borderline irrational ‘why would you even do that?’ crazy here.
So no, buying an Asian bride isn’t something on my to do list, even if I was old and lonely!
