Your Value in Thikatown, Kiambu: Income, Age & Height Compared

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Thika is Kiambu County's industrial anchor — Del Monte runs its massive East African pineapple processing operation here, there are several textile mills, and the commercial core is older and more established than most Nairobi satellite towns. The Blue Posts Hotel at Chania Falls has been a landmark since colonial times and the town has a real bar and nightlife strip by upcountry Kenya standards. Women in Thika tend to be educated and working-class rather than the upwardly mobile Nairobi professional type, which makes the social dynamic more relaxed and less transactional than you might expect this close to the capital. A foreign man here is unusual but not unwelcome, and there are actual venues to be in.
