Hi has the law changed ? until recently Thais were not allowed to adopt farang children. anyone has update. I read that they were going to change the law

Married to a Thai wife and we have a Thai son going to school

presently on a retirement visa

what would be the advantage to get a guardian visa instead ?

Where can I find a new replacement screen part. Samsung   Samui shop says factory doesn't make them anymore. anyone knows a parts repair store in Surathani, Bangkok or Konkhaen ?

I am a foreigner married to a Thai wife . She has been my foreign daughter's step mother. Anyone with experience on this kind of adoption ? I am told that presently Thai are not yet allowed to adopt foreign children, Any exception to this law for step parents ? My daughter was born in Thailand and I am permanent resident, We were told that fora minor daughter to become Thai, I would also have to apply which is impossible for me to do, or wait til she is 20 to apply herself

anyone with same experience ?

SSS office for Asia is at the Manila embassy. they can answer all questions, process claims online etc

just call them

5 years US residency required to get survivor I believe but children under 18 can get as soon as one reaches 62 if claim is made at that age. I claimed at 62 because no one knows how long one will live

take 75% at 62 because you do not know how long you will live

spouse must live 5 years in US to get survivor benefits but children get benefits until they reach 18

best to call the US embassy in Manila , Asia's main social security office

they will process your application and it can be done online

Maybe the headline should read.

Is it Safe for a Foreigner to Marry a Thai Bargirl?

Many Farangs have married everyday Thai women are raising normal families and living normal lives. It is just my guess that many of the farangs that run foul with Thai women is that they have fallen in love with the 1st young girl that said "you very handsome man, you have wife?" They have actually fallen head over heels with the false smiles and words and don't realise that the moment they walked into that bar they were a scam target.

I think most of they Thai women are sincere. You don't go to a brothel back home in search of bride. Just look in the right places and away from the sleaze and you reduce your risks of suicide and being scammed dramatically.

Bar girsl are not all bad. I have friends who married bar girls are are living happily in the USA

I made the big mistake, based on that assumption, and married a high society woman, not so young, in the Philippines, and she took all my properties, abducted our daughter, hired hit men to kill me and her relative, a powerful politician listed me as the most wanted undesirable alien in the country. I escaped by paying a huge bribe to immigration to get to Thailand ! Now living happily with my Thai girlfriend with and having a new family

Great idea, many foreigners are fascinated by ladyboys, most people I know can't tell the difference between a ladyboy and a lady, until they speak of course. Why not put them on long distant flights, I think it would boost tourism here, too.

can one choose tomboy class or ladyboy class ?

Watch out! If this law is passed, there will be a rush of over 50 year old foreign men into Thailand.

And there will be a baby boom of half breed bastards on the laps of the government - because he is not permitted to get married by law.

absolutely ridiculous and discriminatory.pure xenophobia

I am over 50, my Thai girlfriend is pregnant with our baby, we planned to get married end of year once I get divorced from foreign wife. I have my company ,visa and work permit , pay taxes and need no retirement or marriage visa to stay in Thailand

Thailand is smart

whoever pays the most Russia or USA will get him

Even high society women do this scam

It does not matter where they come from

I was seduced by a 30 year old Filipina, from prominent family, university graduate, marketing manager in a Manila bank, high salary

we married, had a daughter, and went back to the US to sell my properties and build 2 marble palaces on Boracay ,in the Philippines

After 3 happy years, she left me to resume her single life in Makati, said she was a career woman, not a housewife missed the night clubs, and abducted our daughter. neither of them seen in 4 years

She took over our 1/2 million dollar houses with 20 armed men, fired my staff of 4, and is collecting rent ever since

I had to escape to Thailand because her uncle was minister of injustice under the previous administration and orders were to hang me if captured, wanted on "undesirable alien" charges

Buyer beware, bar girls or corporate girls, young or old, gorgeous or not so, for so many, ,taking from a foreigner is OK, most Asian men would kill them but not us foreigners and they know that

But there are so many more good people too. I am living with a wonderful Thai woman, and I owe my life to a Filipino who wants nothing in return

its all part of life's experience

I have never seen them in Thailand. Closed I think is Hong Kong.
