If you separated everybody into three groups.
1. Players on the field of play.
2. Spectators in the stadium
3. Lonely people walking outside the stadium facing the cold wind.
Back in the uk guys feel they are on the field of play up to about 40. In the stadium till about 50 and walking around the car park after that.
I hit ,50 and just wanted to at least be on the bench. Thailand degintely allows all the feeling of at least being in the stadium with the chance of running onto the field when the ref isnt looking.????

Do you have something on the side Geronimo?
Its refreshingly honest. I feel like my relationship could be good enough to end up that way. But I am still scared of that outcome.

Oh...thats interesting.
I like your posts. I think you ate having a better experience of Thailand ghan most going by these boards. And at a reasonable cost.
How much do you pay for rent?
How often can you afford to go ot like the night you describe?
Actually i quick breakdown of budget would illuminate for myself and others i believe.????
-
OP whats your monthly cost of living?
I imagine those who love thailand are those who can afford it.

Oops....i was wrong.
You are in the top .5%
A new report reveals that there are 2.3 million new millionaires in the world. A new Credit Suisse report finds there are 2.3 million new millionaires in the world, putting the total at 36 million. Collectively, they make up less than 1% of the population but hold as much wealth as 46% of the world.

I met my school teacher wife on line and she's richer than me and has more land than me - I married above me. You obviously are going for the wrong ads
Since when have men cared about that stuff? Married above you for a man means marrying a 9 when you are a 6 without wealth.

Puchiakyak and Bruce, whats the age gap in your relationships?
Im addressing my fears not exoressing my stance.
Do you play around?

Thailand and SE Asia has plenty of available young women. Many men, shout out to Britman2 for heading the charge, admit to physical attraction being the main component of their relationships. How do the TV members who have married a Bridget Bardot feel as over the years she turned into a Bridget Bardot? LoL
Do looks become unimportant? Can you magine being with a menopausal women? Plans to trade in after x amount of years?

I dont trust my memory. But here goes.
Air quality..................much worsr
Traffic pollution.......much worse
Cost of living............much worse
Exchange rate...........much worse
Materialsim in thais........... worse
Crowdedness............much worse
Girls............................getting fatter
Respect for whitey...............worse
Chance for older guy to get younger wife.........worse
Noise pollution.........worse
Chinese tourists.......much worse
Degradation of natural beauty......much worse
Thai smile..................much less
Cost of medical care.....much worse
Heat............................worse
Like I said, i dont trust my memory. Is the above true? It feels it to me.
An awful lot of that applies to the rest of se asia too.
How much worse does it have to get before other places look better?
Or has the entire world followed the same path?
Or have i just become a grumpy old man?

Found out that its only possible after the wife has permanent residency which would take five years. Then its straight forward enough as long as you wont ask for nhs care.
Can close the thread now. But maybe this info is of use to others.

Im back in the uk looking after my own mother. Miss my gf. She is in Thailand looking after her mother who has altseihmers. She has an adult daughter who is a student at university. I know its hard enough these days bringing in a wife. Anybody know about bringing in wifes relatives? I was planning on living in Thailand. Now just trying to find a way forward.

Need to get to mbk mon to friday. Time to travel not as important as cost. Needs to be cheap.
Need a cheap two bedroom house. Thai style for thai family.
How far out of bk do i need to look for a place under 8k a month? Less than 8k is better.
Any recommendations what area?
Many thanks
-
Wow! Thanks for that. Probably a bit sad of me but its nice to "get to know" a poster. Especially one whose posts are always worth a read.
Do you feel any resentment towards your two female assisins?

True, if you have a freelance business registered in France. But I would not and would continue my online teaching into China, getting paid into my Thai Paypal account. A quick online check suggests that if I declared this offshore income to the French tax authorities, then I would have to pay about 1,700 GBP per year on my 30,000 GBP income.
Sounds reasonable.
Simon, if too personal then sorry. But ive noticed for a few years i guess that you earn a very decent salary but live very frugally. 3000bht rent etc. What are you saving for? You must be worth a fortune and i can only see someone inheriting and spending all your wealth. Why do you do it?

Clue: people can, do and are fully entitled to change their minds.
I went to the polling booth. I found out my choice was lab, con, lib dem and green. All against leave. I stood there for a full minute. Considered walking out. In the end i voted lib dem as a protest against the main two.
I would have voted for the monster raving looning party if they had been on the ballot.
Family members did similar.

I find the older I get the less I want a steady relationship with a woman, Thai or otherwise. I can cook and clean and take care of myself just fine. I have a 3yo son also. I actually find it easier just living my son and me. Dinners cooked and cleaned up in about 30 mins. (No oil etc splashed up the walls and all over the floor). Housework to a minimum as I just don't make to much mess. I don't throw clothes on the floor after wearing them for 10 minutes etc. I love the feeling of waking up in the morning and not needing to consider what someone wants to eat or what they want to do today. I just find myself compromising my own happiness to please someone else. I often chuckle to myself when I think of the poor guys who buy into their relationships with dowries and homes for everyone. Huge money. All in many cases to saddle yourself with a woman who is next to useless and needs everything...including transport and entertainment. The women here who say they want farang....most would not have a chance with a Thai bloke unless the woman was supporting them. I've lived here for 5 years and I don't think I know of one case where a Thai bloke has saddled himself with someone else's kid / kids, extended families or issues. Many of us end up with the rejects, why Thai people think farang are stupid.
I have had many relationships here and mostly they fall into two categories. An educated girl who has a career or professional job. Usually works 10 - 12 hours a day and 6 days a week. Meetings on days off etc. Then she needs time with her girlfriends, family etc. Means much of the time you are sitting around twiddling your thumbs, when you can be out chasing new tail. The other type of girl is one who has no work, usually can't drive....sits around all day and you become her sole means of transport, entertainment...everything. People who have nothing need everything. Neither relationship really makes sense to me. It's not like it's hard to find a GF here. Sex is a huge thing for me and lets face it usually after the first 2 weeks to 3 months the thrill is gone. Most of us older blokes have been to the mountain and a girl has to be pretty special to keep my interest for long.
I don't see anything wrong with people who want a relationship and see value in that. It's just not for me. There is just too much choice here to put up with a girl who is anything less than stellar and if it's a relationship where the ledger is not even or anywhere near in your favour, I just don't see the benefits
Hi Kenny, really enjoyed your post.
Just curious, this lifestyle of yours sounds very appealing. Do you mind to say your age and monthly budget. Just wondering if it could apply to me. Hahaha

Strange how everyone gives to young girls only.
Young, presumbly attractive girls have a much easier life than most other segments of the population and yet they are the ones given the cash!!!!
