Some of the guys were even what we would call rather dumpy.. ie. pimply face, short, chubby, etc. Definitely not better looking than Winston and some were actually worse looking but they were with some girls that I considered to be extremely attractive..slim, very pretty face, well dressed, nice hair style, good complexion, long legs, etc.. It was a glaring contrast. They also were helping their husbands/bfs out the whole time with smiles instead of nagging. This seemed to confirm my observations that middle class Thai women overwhelmingly choose to marry and have relationships along the same class lines and they're looking for stable men of their own nationality. I think many are willing to settle with not too good looking middle class Thai men as long as they satisfy the stability and comfort requirement as a husband.
I saw very few western/Thai couples considering the massive throngs of people and only around 3 couples, 4 if you count me as a westerner in disguise. The Western/Thai couples were pretty average. One younger white western guy/Thai couple looked like an obvious p4p match as well.
Anyways, this isn't all that much of a surprise but it is interesting. Some of these girls were gorgeous, better than any other bird watching spot i've been to in Thailand. I had a hard time keeping my eyes focused while my girlfriend was around.
