Thailand is drier and sunnier in the Northern Hemisphere winter months. Thailand is also much less crowded than Vietnam. Thais are more honest and much more polite than Viets. Thais love peace and quiet in their residential areas. They are the only brown tropical people I am aware of who strongly dislike unnecessary noise.

Talk to any unaccompanied Thai women you want to talk to in Udorn Thani. Restaurant girls want to meet foreign men there. Personally I liked it better than Khon Kaen. The lodging deals were amazing, even in mid-December. The girls were friendly and casual in a way that invited attention from foreign men. There were a sizable number of foreign men present in the city. I did not notice any mentally ill Thai men stalking around muttering and raging at inner demons, like I saw in Khon Kaen.

Picrel was something like 390 baht per night in Udorn.

>>2836091
>Better beaches
Maybe important if I lived there, but visiting as a tourist for a week or 2, I'm not flying across the world just to hang out at the beach, need something more unique.
>more exotic feeling culture
Highly doubt given Thailand has way more tourists and is overall more western/capitalist. Even if we're just talking about "non-tourist areas", I think it'd be about the same.
>better transportation
Good point, but in what way?
>Bangkok is a bigger city with more to do than Hanoi & Saigon combined.
How do you quantify and qualify this? What counts as things to do?
>Viet girls are hotter, especially in the north
I agree with you, but swap the regions. I like south because they're more tan/brown

>Talk to any unaccompanied Thai women you want to talk to
I heard this from another farang in a smoke shop once but found it hard to believe that I can just go up and talk to them. I can't imagine the nerves involved especially when we can't understand each other. Does unacompannied mean totally alone or is it fine if they're with another female friend or two? I was gonna just go for a hooker or something since I found out kindly old uncle Charlie Sheen actually lost his v card to a hooker himself so now I feel better about myself since I'm trying to emulate him. I haven't seen too many farangs out here besides me, at least far less than Chiang Mai or BKK.

I will maybe talk to a chick if I see a halfway decent looking one at a nightmarket or something or on my doomer evening-nightwalks I do. This is pretty nerve wracking desu, I pussied out when a Thai granny stared me down when I was smoking weed in an alley, I can't imagine just talking to a total stranger, while sober, out and about, when we can barely communicate sans google translate

Don't take advice from this guy >>2836108, it's slumdorker and for the 6 months he was traveling SEA, all he did was incel walking in bumfuck of nowhere.
He comments about the local girls but he never talked to any of them.

I would if I knew where to go. Dorkiness is something to be avoided, Uncle Charlie would warn me not to end up like lame cuck Alan.

Udon Thani is weird, I got spooked today by a ladyboy who waved at me and I hurriedly walked away whilst stoned.

Just install tinder, man. It's not hard to get a date from that.
Don't start with whores, it's pretty disappointing.
also, if you want to do Charlie maxxing you gotta do it based of the Charlie in Platoon, way cooler that way. Or do some general Sheen maxxing and act like his father in Apocalypse Now. That first scene where he's drunk in his room and the End is playing from the Doors is a certified 'literally me' kino scene, it's perfect for when you're feeling like you're stuck in the hole.

I talked to multiple Thai women in public settings, but no, I did not talk to a girl who was riding across from me in a train, because that's not how you behave in a Thai train. You don't brush their knees or bump them either when you get up to use the bathroom or bring some trash to the trash bag (rare among most window seaters, who throw their garbage out the window - one time someone's banana leaf food wrappers flew in from the next window and hit me smack in the face. Also, a crazed village women started hitting me and trying to push past me multiple times while I was standing directly over an open door and the train was still moving at a good speed. Eventually I shifted to the other side to placate her, but alas, the side I was standing was the side the platform was on. Ashamed of her outburst she looked away as I stepped down onto the platform to let her descend the stairs and remove her shopping bags. She was afraid the train would miss her stop or something, even though no Thai train I've ever ridden has skipped a stop on its route no matter how insignificant.

Business is the pretext for talking to a girl who works at a business. Duh.

Maybe after a few friendly chats with flirty women, you'll lose your uptight nature and become one of those loud goofy farang you currently despise, who has a random uggo from Maha Sarahkan on his arm at any given time.

RE: talking to people

The key is having something to talk about. Not just hot chicks, but anyone.

You are a visitor, so you've instantly got things to talk about. Some people are just busy or the language barrier is too much for them, but a lot of people will be open to talking to you. Some Thai women (particularly college/office women) may also be worried that people will think they're a bar girl/low class, particularly if you look like a '1 week tourist' in your shorts and flip flops, so you need to present yourself as a potential boyfriend rather than a fling.

A good conversation opener is simply to ask someone for recommendations nearby, ideally something interesting/trendy/flattering that makes them feel good that you think they might know about it.

I'm usually in Bangkok 3 or 4 times a year for work. I normally just say to a girl that I'm thinking about moving to this area (shows I'm not just on holiday looking for pussy) - do they know it well? Are there any food places I should check out etc. It's also been quite useful for getting to know neighbourhoods and have even found some apartments this way.

It works well because if they're not interested they can just answer the question. But you'd be surprised how many people offer to show me around places or give me their details to meet up later.

If you want to be more forward. Say you've just moved here or are here for work - where's a good place to hand out or meet new people. A lot of people will say they don't know, but Thais are usually very kind because they don't want anyone to lose face. I'd say it works 1 in 5 times - normally they'll invite me out with their friends one evening. It only really works with Thais that speak conversational English though.

>>2836441
>>2836391
I'll give this a go but I will likely need to be mildly intoxicated first. Even so, I think my odds are dismal since I have low self esteem in the element of vvomen, even if I feel mostly fine about myself otherwise. As much as my travels have been an attempt to be transformative and reinvent myself, and for all the social progress I've made, it seems the chickie ladies are still a bit out of my reach and leave me grasping at thin air. But I'll keep trying fatalistically.

Lastly, does anyone know if there's anywhere in Udon Thani I might be able to ask around and get my hands on magic mushrooms? Perception plays a big role in identity and the narrative one writes of their life, so maybe if I finally bite the dust and do a big solo trip in my room off a heroic dose, I'll be able to rewire my brain in such a way that facilitates ease with women in the future. Or just have a good time from the substance high, honestly drugs might be a more reliable pleasure for me over girls when you're this old and a virgin.

Bolt for an alternative to grab

Local versions of western company apps like Starbucks Thailand app(they don't take cash payments)

Western union just in case

Moretapay for QR payments as many places only have QR pay now even street vendors.

Download Googlemaps for Bangkok/whatever city area so it will still work if you loose connection

kek there was another fag in here, about a month or two ago, just like you. he was also whining about being a loser and a virgin and whatever. eventually he went to Pai to do some shrooms (against the advice of half of this general). Afterwards, he seemed to have lost a couple of marbles and did some schizo posting on here talking about "Love" and all that gay hippy shit. Haven't heard from him in a while, I was half thinking that you're that guy.

What makes you think that becoming even more of a far-out whacko by blowing your brain with psychedelics is going to make you attractive to unintelligent brown peasant girls? To the contrary you have to become less self-aware, less obsessed with the intricacies of your own mind.
>I am attempting a transformative re-invention of myself over the course of this journey, and hoping that such a process will result in better success with women like you
Yep, that kind of statement is gonna make her panties fall right off.

Lmao, that was me anon. And it wasn't shrooms, I did those in chiang mai, in pai it was LSD, ecstasy and DMT together in one crazy night. What you saw was just the acute afterglow schizo hippie babble, I've since leveled out but I'm still more optimistic as a whole
>>2836601
>Yep, that kind of statement is gonna make her panties fall right off.
JEJJ, you'd be surprised. I almost hooked up with a farang girl that trippy night in pai and all I was doing was acting like a simp. Or maybe it's the reverse, if I hadn't acted like such a simp, I could've had it easily. Regardless, I will heed your advice and try to become less cerebral. To some extent, it's been working already.

I managed to get like 1 tinder match since I reinstalled it, and a few chicks I'm talking to on thai friendly including this 45 year old milf. The one I'm asking out today is a 27 year old but the account was made the same day as me and she wants to meet at like 6pm. I am paranoid it's a scam or worse. Any advice?

Bruh, have a little self respect, most women on thai friendly are just some form of prostitute with extra steps

>27 year old but the account was made the same day as me and she wants to meet at like 6pm
>I am paranoid it's a scam or worse. Any advice?
See above. If you're worried it's something weird just meet in a public place that you're familiar with and under no circumstances send her "taxi money" or anything like that beforehand. The scam is probably just that her dick is bigger than yours.

Anon, how can I have self respect at this stage in my life when I haven't even copulated? At this point, I am just trying to blow my load and move on, though I did seemingly talk this 22 year old tinder girl into going on a date with me tmrw but I have yet to see if she'll follow through for real. There's also this chunky 80kg 21 yr old on Thai friendly that's hitting me up but I'm reluctant to have my first time go that way, even a hooker is less ignoble.

Not that other anon, but my plans were to check out Malaysia after this current Siamese excursion so maybe I'll bump into one of those lonely le whyte wimminz and meet my future wife there.

I hear what you're saying, but it's not really about that.

They need to not feel like a prostitute/slut. So you're giving them an opening that makes them comfortable to move forward.

Which is better to tell their friends/family when they ask how they know this farang:
>he's a tourist and he came up to me and asked me out on a date tonight. He's cute so I said yes. Free dinner yum yum.
or
>he's working in Thailand and asked me about living in Thong Lor (or wherever). He's cute so I said I'm show him around.

Option 1 = slut.
Option 2 = this girl is trying to meet a nice farang and have mixed-race babies, money, car, house and travel.

That sounds like Thailand.

Koh Samui is pleasant - much nicer than Phuket. A lot depends on where you stay, so do some research on nice resorts in the right location (do you want to be able to walk to bars/shops or rely on tuk tuks and taxis)

>Some culture but not really into museums
Thailand is probably the weakest 'developed' tourist destination for culture. Even in Bangkok, the lack of music venues, arts, museums etc. is surprising.

Phang Nga province (Khao Lak etc.) is also nice for a relaxing vacation. Lots of nature and national parks within easy reach, as well as the Andaman Sea and islands.

Go to Koh Samet. Not as crowded and it's the most popular for locals ("go to Koh Samet to get laid" - Thai locals say). I had the most pleasant tutoring session with fat midget milf bar girl who was so wild in bed and into it.
