Firstly, don't bother believing all that you've been told by fellow travellers/teachers that have 'supposedly' done this and done that.

Asians also find it 'amazing' to how whole nations of Farangs want to sunbathe for hours on end, and buy fake 'tanning' machines regardless to the dangers of skin cancer.

Us Farangs would also die for colour!

So, if we want to laugh at Asians with their whitening lotions we can also laugh at ourselves. Absolutely no difference!

For a single Farang girl wanting to have fun and enjoy the nightlife while living as a teacher your best bet is Bangkok. Buy a copy of the Metro or Farang mags etc.. and theyve lots of advice on places to go for single Farang ladies.

As for upcountry/in the provinces it would be a darned shock for the locals to find some foreign girl in a bar/disco alone. As for Bangkok, it's quite normal.

Do you plan on committing any illegal activities when you come to Thailand?

If not, then why even worry about the police or bribing them. Pls inform the person that advised you this to 'get a brain'. You just cant come here break the law and buy your way out every time. That is dangerous thinking. This is the year 2005 not 1955.

Anyway happy times in Thailand and if yould like any more info just ask.
