If that was before covid, it's even more so now. I am in a large city where I am one of the few foreigners, and although they are very friendly, people seem quite skeptical around me. Even asking for small things (a photo, etc) I often get politely turned down. The vibe I get here is friendly but guarded. Social circles are tightly knit, and there is a very high premium on your "perceived value" (as I have learned from a Chinese gamer).Girls had plenty of resistance, where genuinely les comfortable hooking up, and were a bit more sceptic dealing with foreign men.
China really is a whole different beast. I'm a white guy speaking Mandarin, fairly tight fundamentals and plenty of decent lays here, and I'm still getting some very sharp rejections. The good thing is I am learning fast (thanks partly to studying Chinese game material which I will soon share with the forum - it follows a rather different logic, though is really just another approach to frame control in respect to China's social dynamics).PS: not saying Thailand is hard - I do consider it easier than Europe. China is a different story - China can be rough.
Thailand is gentle. Girls never reject harshly. For that reason, it's actually not a great place to learn, because you will rarely know what it was that you did wrong. Guys there keep making the same mistakes, not realizing that they're mistakes. It's a good place to get laid, a bad place to sharpen your skills.
