Thai Girls Go HERE to Find a Boyfriend | One Night in Bangkok Ep. 018

Overview

Eric hosts a lively discussion with Thai guests Earn and Cherry, and Australian guest Dan, about dating, nightlife, and life in Bangkok.

Bangkok Nightlife and Travel Safety

Earn, who works as a restaurant hostess, describes drunk tourists boasting about their money and asking whether she offers massages or “extras.” The group laughs at the assumption that visiting Thailand gives people permission to behave however they want. They also push back on the idea that Sukhumvit Soi 11 is only for sex workers, noting that it has plenty of ordinary restaurants, bars, and clubs.

The conversation turns to travel safety. The guests mention taxi drivers refusing to use the meter, the familiar “that temple is closed” scam, and the need to watch your belongings in crowded nightlife spots. Eric recounts losing a brand-new iPhone at a club. When he returned to check the cameras, he was told the system was down; later, he received convincing fake Apple messages. Their advice is to stay alert without letting worries about scams take over the trip.

Beaches and Pattaya Stories

Beach preferences spark a friendly debate. Pattaya is convenient, but its beaches don’t impress everyone, while the Andaman coast gets the strongest recommendation. Hua Hin divides the group: some like its quieter pace, while Cherry says it was so quiet she wanted to leave. Eric also gets a mini Thai pronunciation lesson on “Pattaya.”

One guest shares a less relaxing Pattaya story. During a shared ride, a man repeatedly asked if she wanted “boom boom” and asked for her number. She and her friend got out, then went on to enjoy a club and late-night mookata.

Dating and Meeting People

The dating discussion is the episode’s centerpiece. Cherry says dating apps often lead to transactional connections for her, while Eric argues that how you approach someone shapes the kind of response you get.

Earn tells a memorable story about trying to eat mango sticky rice at Terminal 21 when a stranger sat beside her and started hitting on her. She pretended to call friends until she could finish eating and leave. Eric and Dan suggest a gentler approach to meeting women during the day: keep it brief and friendly, respect their space, and don’t turn a casual conversation into an unwanted long visit.

When asked where Thai women might look for different kinds of relationships, the answers vary:

• For something serious: Earn favors meeting people through friends or social settings; Cherry says apps can work if you take your time.
• For a casual encounter: Clubs or Tinder are easy options.
• For finding a husband: Both women joke that they wouldn’t go anywhere—it should happen naturally.

Cherry values consistency and someone who enjoys food. Earn wants a partner who can dance and have fun. The running joke is that a “diamond” may be hard to find, even in Pattaya’s Walking Street.

Relationships, Family, and First Dates

The guests compare dating Thai and foreign men, discuss family expectations, and consider whether they would move abroad for a partner. Earn says foreign partners have encouraged her to take risks and become more confident. Both women say that moving abroad would depend on work, family, and the relationship.

The episode closes with lighter first-date talk: casual plans are sensible, dancing is a plus, and talking openly about family can help build trust.
