The following is what I see the Male Expat demographics in Thailand:
- Married Retirees
- Single Retirees
- Married and working
- Single and Working
- Thai Language Students
- Digital Nomads
- Youtubers
- Sexpats
- Overstayer’s
- Border Hopper’s
- Married Retirees – Probably the most honest and trusted of the lot. Many have a good retirement pension to afford a normal life (own house, land, car, etc.) and have been married a long time, while raising kids
- Single Retirees – Single men that have retired from their home countries and have enough money to meet all the visa requirements and live in Thailand. Many of these men have been divorced or divorced more than once and come to Thailand to find a young wife.
- Married and Working – Some have come to Thailand, got married and are still working. Whether as an English teacher, expat work package or digital nomad.
- Single and working- Some who come to Thailand at a younger age or after a failed marriage for the easy women and sex. Some will take low paid jobs as English teachers and others can make money working online and have plenty to live on.
- Education Visa People – Want to stay in Thailand but cannot qualify for a normal visa so they use the Learning Thai Education Visa as a method to stay at least a year. Usually these types are quite short of money or any job skills.
- Digital Nomads – Have technical skills where they can live in Thailand and work online. Mostly younger crowd, interested in Thailand for the girls and parties.
- Youtubers – This was a younger crowd hoping to earn enough to live in Thailand, yet still required to leave the country to make visa runs every 90 days. Lately it seems many elder men have jumped into Youtube as a way to fund their underfunded retirement.
- Sexpats – Men that have failed in their own lives and countries, move to Thailand for prostitution and easy women. Most appear underfunded as well as huge story tellers.
- Overstayer’s – Those that love Thailand so much, they risk get blacklisted and deported due to not complying with VISA regulations.
- Border Hopper’s – Those that have no legal visa, yet they use tourist visa’s and jumping over the border every 90 days to get at as much time per year as possible. Many seem to have Thai girlfriends.
