LTRs- Thailand, Laos, Cambodia

Recommended Posts

Posted

I've reported before that my partner knows ten of his former workers at Dreamboys (Pattaya) who are in LTRs with foreigners, having met them in the early 2000s. Mostly  via apps but I've met five of the couples in Pattaya, their relationships  still going strong.

I wonder if anyone more up-to-date than me on the current scene- in other words, almost everyone here- knows of any ongoing or recent relationships like this flourishing. Or perhaps  they are a thing of the past, when the guys who came to Pattaya and Bkk  had experienced rather different childhoods than today's workers. For some, arrival in Pattaya on the late bus was their first experience of electricity.

But what about the guys from Laos and Cambodia, the ones I see nowadays when we're staying in the JC? Perhaps they have different expectations to those of the Thais of two decades ago,or possibly of today, for whom netting a falang tourist or expat was the golden key to a life of plenty.

Or so they hoped....and yes, it was for some.

Perhaps the  non-Thai guys in the JC, in other words probably most of them, look on a stint on the scene as a short -time occupation. Or  merely sanuk? I really don't know. And the Thai guys still operating; now that economic fortunes are better for most Thais, do they feel that  their times in Pattaya are for fun  rather than endured out of desperate necessity? 

Again, I don't know and rely on my "successor- punters" to advise.
