Introduction

All over the world, men are confused by women and women are confused by men. Throw in a cultural gap, wider than the Grand Canyon and mix in the wild bar scene in Pattaya and you have the potential for huge misunderstandings.

These pages endeavor to explain what motivates the girls of Pattaya, to help you understand where they are coming from and what they want. Of course every person is different and in the end you must treat people as individuals. Nevertheless some understanding of the cultural gap may help if you find yourself entangled with a Thai sweetheart.

Mike and Noi's story is a good place to start. It's a true story and illustrates how easily you can be on a completely different wavelength from a Thai.

Make of it all, what you will and good luck.

Stephen Leather has written a novel called Private Dancer that well illustrates some of the problem that occur when cultures clash. It is perhaps a little cynical but a good warning for the unwary. You can download and read the novel for free. Click Here for details.
