Dating over 50 can already be complicated… but what happens when you bring Thailand into the picture? 🇹🇭

In this episode, Brendan sits down with Wendy Herbert to talk about the reality of dating in Thailand later in life — the expectations, cultural differences, common mistakes, and what people often misunderstand about relationships here.

Wendy shares her perspective and experience, offering insight into how relationships can differ when dating abroad, and why communication, mindset, and cultural understanding play such an important role.

There are a lot of assumptions about dating in Thailand, especially for people over 50, but the truth is more nuanced than most people think. In this conversation, we explore what actually works, what to be careful of, and how to approach relationships in a respectful and healthy way.

We also discuss:
💬 communication challenges
💰 financial expectations
❤️ emotional connection vs transactional relationships
🧠 mindset and life experience
🌏 cultural differences that matter

If you're living in Thailand, planning to move here, or simply curious about relationships abroad, this episode gives a grounded perspective on what to expect and how to navigate it.

The goal of this conversation is not to judge — but to share experience and help people make better decisions.
