and then paid for her to go (fly) back to the farm in Isaan

Did you actually see her get into the airplane? No? Then she waited until you were gone and took the cheapes bus back to Krabi to go to her job.

wrong, i think that the working issan girls would jump at the chance to get a free trip back home and see family , especially has she would of had some baht in her purse from the departing boyfriend.
wether she is still in Issan only she really knows that.if you left her with no money it may be a different story. !!
Where in Udon province is she ?

Maybe, but then she will probably will take the cheapest bus to save money.
If her family is really poor, she will probably just get back to work.
And if she works in a bar, she will have to pay her own barfines while she is gone, or she doesn't get her salary.

agreed in general the girls would take the bus, but then badger may have put her on the cheapest Air Asia deal he could get, instead of the More" Pang" Thai airways. so now she has a taste of the big silver bird she may well insist this is the way she wants to travel in the future.

Then she can brag to her bargirl collegues, show them the airplane ticket and gain more face , then hurry to the temple to thank Buddha again

You guys are so negative You don't know ANYTHING about this girl and yet you've tagged her, and stamped her and thrown her in the trash. While some of your experiences may lead you to these conclusions, that doesn't apply to EVERYONE. Why not hold back a bit and see if 'badger' can give us a little more to go on. Somewhere I seem to recall, "innocent until proven guilty". Does that NOT apply to Thai's? Ease up.

The Badger, go with Marshall66's and Paul's advice. It's true that if you get involved with long standing/serving BG's you could be asking for problems, but with one that's only been there 2 weeks, there's a reasonable chance that she hasn't yet been hardened or indoctrined, (particularly if working in Krabi - which is much lower key).

As Marshall says watch for her financial demands and try and judge from that. If she is young and has no children or just one child and asks you for 5000 baht a month to enable her to live at home, sounds reasonable. If she asks you for 20K baht or more a month, and/or comes up with various crises, such as where a sick relative needs money, be warned, I would suggest she is taking advantage of you. Also be careful if there is a very large age difference.

It is true to say that some girls do go and work in bars specifically hoping to find a farang boyfriend, and if they find a good one, whom they value, can be very loyal and develop genuine affection/love for you. The shorter time they have worked there the better.

As mentioned it's difficult to judge, as no one really knows much about either of you, your ages, your experience over here, or her. So take things slowly and don't commit any large sums until you have known her a very long time and are very sure of her. It would be good to know your respective ages.

I would suggest it will be more difficult if you live at a great distance from her, as you are not then able to get to know each other easily. Also consider what, if any, influences there maybe on her from friends and family.

Get her that landline and make her answer every day, no excuses.... Only then you will know that she actually is home... As Arjay says, 5000 B should be enough, and do not forget to make sure she understand that you are not rich and can't afford to give her more and you are saving every penny for a flight ticket.... And the you will see the tru love..

On the other hand forget her... Why get hooked with the first one? Better try a whole bunch and the go for a girl with some education, at least if you are a younger person... It work for me... I tried at least two bunches

better still just get her fitted with a GPS tracker system like an electronic tag .

People Tracking system



























lol

A big consideration is her education level as it compares to yours!If she is motivated to constantly improve her ''level''it is of mutual benefit,if not,you are asking for very unbalanced relationship that can become very challenging very soon depending on your personality and needs!
