		<description>Just a follow up. I think we may have had a slight miscommunication post issue here. After checking my status here today. I noticed awaiting moderation had disappeared from the site? This is the first time I had experienced this type of review delay before. Normally some indication that your post is still under review shows up. So as to not give mixed signals. I didn&#039;t realize this until  had posed again that my first one was still under moderation. I just assumed it had been removed. 

Forgive my forwardness but this is a bit confusing to people and sends mixed messages. Please feel free to disregard my last post and remove that and this post from final approval. I meant not disrespect to miss kaewmala or your site. It was a knee jerk reaction but I realize I was in the wrong and I sincerely apologize for that. Some clarification in the future would be helpful so as to avoid any miscommunication in the future. Thank you for a great post as your work is appreciated!!</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe my comment was removed!! Here I go and try to support what you are saying here and then you remove my comment. What, was I that off base? I had planned on buying your book but maybe what others are saying here is true. I was just trying to think outside the box. Maybe I don&#039;t have the education you have miss Kaewmla. Although I do sincerely care for the Thai people and culture. That is more the I can say for many here. 

I do not claim to know everything. I was merely trying to take your advise and engage in some debate on the issue. As usual people take out of context what I say and get it all wrong. There are people that were far more critical then me which didn&#039;t get the same treatment so what gives? If I some how offended you I do apologize. I will try to clear up any misunderstanding you may have had as that clearly was not my focus here. `_`</description>

		<description>Great Interview and if nothing else is nice to see this from a Thai Women&#039;s perspective. Being a somewhat socially inapt guy myself. I find this to be invaluable into the mindset of Thai women. My feeling is that most Thai women likely see foreigners or Farlang as money banks and nothing more usually. Although you can&#039;t really blame them in this thinking. There is nothing wrong with wanting to better oneself as provide for your family. It is called survival and one must do so by whatever means necessary.  For people like myself Thailand&#039;s Sex tourist scene has of little interest with me. Although this can prove to be somewhat difficult finding out what&#039;s real vs the facade, what&#039;s not in meeting Thai women. What does a Thai girl look for in a man and what do they expect? 

What things are turn offs and turn-ons? What things irritate them about Thai men and how can I use that to my advantage. What are the requirements for a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship and how does that fit into the bigger picture? How do I convey my true feelings without being seen like some sex-tourist? Does how you dress really have an effect on how a Thai girl sees you? Not really a problem there though. When I do go out as rare as that is, do so in style haha. You would never guess I was a mole living underground most of the time lol. How does age factor into all of this  etc etc. The more I can alter my behavior and in a since think more Thai. Maybe the better chance I will have meeting a Thai girl in the long run! 

Breaking social and societal stereotypes is no easy task especially for Farlang like me but I like to believe it is not impossible. Learning the language is pretty much a no brainier in my view. This at least shows you have interest in their language and or culture which is a good first step. Context I imagine also plays an important role here as well as within most Asian societies. How well you are able to decipher that will in many ways determine how successful or not you are in the end I believe. Maybe this is a fools dream as some would say and am wasting my time. Kinda ironic really as my whole life up to this point has been wasted time!!  I have to commend kaewmala for giving us a rare insight into a Thai woman&#039;s mind. That is rare at any level (Women&#039;s Mind) and appreciate your efforts. God knows we need all the help we can get!! ^_^</description>

		<description>Excellent points made in this interview.
  
I lived in Thailand for four years until a year ago.

My own personal experience as a farang dating Thai women is that they basically came in two versions. Fast and loose or extremely sheltered.

The fast ones are not the &quot;for hire&quot; type but I was surprised how quickly they are willing to have sex. I have been told that some Thai females look for a farang to be the &quot;kik&quot; because the farang is so far removed from their community of family and friends that they won&#039;t really have to worry about the shame of casual sex. The sheltered types are the &quot;good girls,&quot; college educated (in Thailand) and let&#039;s say it ... white skin. But they come across as so unaware of anything outside of Thailand and seem to have a maturity level that is much more slow to develop. Finding a Thai woman that I could relate to on a deep level was the biggest hurdle. One I never cleared in the time I had.

Yes, I have been painting with a broad brush here but I am speaking in a very general sense.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t waste time with this book, I read part of it (first 2 chapters) trying to get insights into Thai culture. All you get is the typical BS and psychobabble. Anyone with half a brain knows that each person&#039;s sexuality is individual. Hell, there&#039;s probably a broader rainbow of openly expressed sexuality in Thailand than in almost any other country. All you get from this book is the opinions of one educated, upper-class Thai woman who has never been in contact with those people who make up 99% of Thai society. Thailand is actually a diverse country in its types of people, attitudes and looks. Just take a look at people walking down the street, they look very different in physical appearance, unlike some other Asian countries. Thai society has many strata and psychological makeup is very nuanced. That will remain opaque to 99% of foreigners because they are not patient, analytical and perceptive enough to discern the differences between Thai people. And this opacity is not helped at all by the natural reserve, the Oriental inscrutability, of Thai people, which is one trait most Thai people do have in common. As this book would seem to be aimed at foreign men wishing to establish a relationship with Thai women, you won&#039;t succeed by reading this book. Spending a few hours interacting with Thai people would teach you more.</description>
