Hi Bina,
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately my grandparents have now passed on the the pain in my other relatives is too fresh (and ongoing) to bring it up too much. Some of them have turned to religion for solace and others just pour their energy into their career or children.
I have a Thai friend who is involved with a married man. He's intending to divorce his wife to be with her. She's only young but hopelessly in love. I just can't condemn her (or him) when I see how they feel for one another. Maybe I'm too big a softie! As I said before, sometimes we marry for the wrong reasons and we just don't realise the consequences. Talking about commitment is hopeless when there is no love in the beginning. Love and commitment should go hand in hand.
I can't agree with Siamruby. What she is holding on to is only a semblance of what a true relationship is. Why short change yourself? Letting him have so much freedom is giving him the green light to behave badly and indignantly. Trust and open communication would be a more emotionally productive and would give rise to a deeper level of love and honesty.
Just my few baht worth.
Hi everyone,thought I was not going to get involve as this room is called farang's girl room
but hey I can't help it now.I think I have a lot of experiences regarding relationship, Here is my love CV!
In my 20's I was a mianoi to a Thai guy who was seperated from his wife but then got back with her when she had cancer.
In my 30's I was married to an immature farang who had mianoi and in the end broke my leg which he claimed it was an accident, yeah right he pushed me and said he wanted to kill me!
In my 40's now I am divorced and living with my farang fiance. He is 6 year younger than me and yes he did run after a teenage girl once in his mad moment.
What would that do to a girl's confident, when her young partner fancied a girl 25 years younger than her?
Yes I went mad just like any woman would but feeling insecure? no not me. I had bad relationships in the past and have no intention to live with a guy who don't love me And no I am not desperate,at the age of 44 with 4 kids. I still get a lot of men's attention. And no, not because of the money either (hence being a Thai woman and farang man) he lives in my house in UK.
So what make we live together? Love
4years and we have never argued accept the day I found out about that girl which now we only talked about it often as a joke. COMMUNICATION? 4years and we still chat away as soon as we wake up until we go to bed.We are closer than best friend as we are now have each other as best friend..sickly I know . TRUST? I have never asked him who he chats to on line or who is he talking to on the phone or vice versa. I also am the one who normally point out to some pretty girl on the street to him 'wow look at her, she got such a pretty face' etc and yes I am the one who let him go to Pattaya! Why I let him have freedom? I am not his mum!
We are not marry so I am not his wife if he can't be faithful then at least I will know if I should marry him or not. And finally, my partner is now a disabled because of an accident and I care for him. That is why I said we are best friend as we are together 24 hrs a day 7days a week and we enjoy each other company.
Thailotus, What I am holding on I believe is a true love which we both didn't expect anything in return. That when we started off he had everything (being a company director) and I had nothing but he ignored all the warning from his family and friends not to get involve with me, a poor Thai woman with 4kids (3 have problem with learning difficulty) with a violence ex. And now he had nothing but..me. Should I dump him because...he has no money? is a disabled? is a burden? this not talking about some certain ability in the bedroom!
Anyone want to come to a wedding next year?

Southern Thais - jai dum mak maak!
SCUM.
Some very poor generalisations here guys, especially after the last few days ... and RDN I see you live in Phuket also
You're right - not "Maak maak", but certainly "Nid noy". And this is in no way connected to the disaster here. But people in the South - and I'm not talking about the very south, or the troubles there - but the southern Thais just don't seem to be so friendly, or happy as those from the North.
I had to laugh at your comment as you said the same as some Thai people believe.As a Thai I can tell you that Thai people do generalise other Thai from different part of Thailand (ask your Thai partner!). Mostly,they said the southerners are harder and cruel,while the northerners are sweet and kind. May I stress that this is nothing relate to the disaster right now and all the Thai people disregard to where we live have been helping and donating as much as we can!
Even the southerners themself aware of this prejudice. I once got lost in my new university and got chatting to other girl who also lost. but once we found the classroom, she said to me 'I am so glad you don't mind me being a southerner' What!!!
Then I said 'oh ok my best friend is a southerner from Songkla' And yes scam happen everywhere to everyone. And the one to do with the money exchange booth is new to me.These are what I have heard of;
-Petrol scam as RDN experienced,happened to a lot of Thais too.
-Mobile phone (cell phone), someone borrow your phone because their battery ran out and need to make emergency call,and walk away for privacy. In return they left their fancy expensive looking phone with you. Well ,that phone is only a shell,inside is some heavy rubbish.
-Credit card scam, you got your card back after paying in shops or restaurant. But is it your card or someone else's old expired card but look the same as yours?
-You know you will never accept drink or food from stranger but will you accept a piece of folded paper and then open it up? Don't!! the drug inside will knock you out and you will lose everything. (A new warning from The Thai News Agency)

As far as I know Thailand age of consent is 18, but a girl of 15 is allowed to get married with the parent's consent. So in Thailand if anyone have sex with any girl under the age of 18 whether the girl agree to it or not. Thai law class that as rape because a 'minor' cannot give consent to sex!
Well,I have got my law degree and did my bar final and done the training many many years ago,so I thought I might be wrong and the law regarding the AOC might have changed while I live aboard as it seem to be that so many people here boasting about having sex with girls under 18 and proud of it!!
So this is the INTERPOL website regarding CHILD ABUSE and AOC in Thailand
http://www.interpol.int/Public/Children/Se...csaThailand.asp
According to the website
'According to the Prostitution Prevention and Suppression Act, " child " means a person who is not yet over 18 years of age.'
Section 8 of the 'Prostitution Prevention and Suppression Act' states
'Whoever, for sexual gratification of that person or of the third person, commits sexual intercourse or any other act against a person who is over fifteen (15) years but not yet over eighteen (18) years of age, with or without his or her consent, ina place for prostitution, shall be punished with imprisonment of one to three years and a fine of twenty thousand to sixty thousand baht'
Think that is enough for now. And let hope that your 16,17 or 17yr and 51wks old child will not start making a fuss or happen to know the law.

Very interesting topic but wrong..all women are jealous not only Thai women.
Well, but I will make your guys more jealous
.I sent my farang boyfriend to Pattaya on his own twice. Once he went on holiday there on his own and the second time we both were in Bkk but he wanted to spend time alone in Pattaya for a week so me and my brother drove him there. A bit embarrassing really as his hotel was right in the middle of load of bars. But whatever he was up too in Pattaya I have never asked him. We are now back home and still happy together.BTW, I am Thai.

I am a Thai woman and got my NI numbers even when I was not looking for a job nor claiming benefits. I also am not a British citizen and have no intention to become one as I love my Thai passport too much
. (In fact,it 's because the insult from my ex who said I married him for British citizen!!!)Most of the employers I applied for the jobs before I got my NI number didn't really care much about it, they just said give it to them later whenever I get it. Anyway,bare in mind that you have heard it before in UK about illegal immigrants working for reputable firms. Some place like British library,House of common and one illegal immigrant who worked as a police in Hackney!!! Surely,non of them have NI numbers!?!?

I have just got my VISA credit card statement yesterday and couldn't believe the note on the statement...
'Important changes to cardholder benefits.
Travel Accident Insurance will be withdrawn on 1 January 2005; you have until 1 February 2005 to make a claim. International Rescue will be withdrawn on 1 February 2005 ;you will continue to have access to Emergency Cash (+44 7133 487 650) if you lose your card abroad.'
I am really not sure if it is a coincident that the bank decided to stop the insurance that normally come with most cards BEFORE the disaster or AFTER the disaster, if it was the later..I must say what a heartless b*****d they are
I know most of us feel sad,worry,upset etc. But please check your, your friend or family's credit card benefits and HURRY because in the case of my card you only have 30days to claim from now. Even if you don't need the money yourself but at least you will have more to give to the disaster charity!!!
BTW, my card is Monument Visa card.

In other words, when it comes to distributing medical supplies and other stuff, it's "Farang first - Thai second", according to the complaint.
I would be willing to bet that this stems from the fact that Thais are seen/thought to be capable of finding help on their own since they are native. The Farangs, on the other hand, don't speak the language, don't know the procedures, don't have relatives in the country... etc.
Thais will help Thais without a second thought either. But right now, the rest of the world is focused on the farangs - and so that's what is being seen,
Totally agree,I am a Thai and that is the way I look at it,the farangs right now are so vulnerable because they are not in their own country. But I don't think any Thais in Thailand will want to pick and choose who and what nationality we want to help first?
Another thing is I have heard a lot of tales about how Thais safed some farangs 's life without thinking of their own,how a lot of poor villagers give what they hardly have to survivors. Did they really think there and then when facing death that..oh if I safe this farang now I will help the Thai's economic? Did those poor villagers really think ..oh I got to feed these farangs now so they will be grateful and come back to spend more money in my village ???
Also let me tell you the tale that happened in the WW2. When we were supposed to be an allie to the Japaneses and regarded the American as our enermy. When japanese soldiers got injured Thai villagers helped them. But when the american soldiers needed the same help,the same villagers helped them too!!! (of course behind the japanese's back!).

A friend of mine is due out in phuket in 3 weeks time,He has cancelled his flight from BKK to PKT,and was told he has no refund on the 2 tickets because he wants to cancel,
But as a Thai, I would encourage everyone to go there. Money you spend there will be a great help. I also have just seen the news on ITV in uk just now and they talked about people are still flying to Sri Langa. They said the Sri Langa government are so please about it that they are not losing the tourism business too.

can anyone please point me to a place that has real up to date info (in thai) or write a short synopsis (in thai) for the thai workers here in israel that work with me: i dont know how much is really being reported on satellite tv from thailand as opposed to cnn bbc etc and i cant read thai to see what is written in the internet news ( the guys dont like browsing thru the internet so i print stuff out) they dont seem to know what is really going on from what they see on the tv and they really want to know.... the thai language newspaper here comes out only in one more week....can pm me if not relevant to this thread....
Hi Bina, I am not sure if this bbc website in Thai will be any use to you?
I think you can look at the pics and easily guess what to print.
you may have to ask some Thai to pick and choose which one they want.
And another one which seems to have very good list of victims and I think will be very useful for everyone. But I must say that if anyone can easily get upset don't look at the pics because they got pics of the death who they cannot identify so they just put the pics up, and yes lot of blood and gores, especially pic of a baby.very very sad indeed.

Just like everything else in the world. It's depend on personal taste and opinion. To me, guys with moustache make me go weak at the knees
. But sadly my farang partner hate facial hair,said it makes him feel unclean . But at least he is better than my ex who used to shave his legs!! -
And the bad news is most people think that they only come out during the night time but in fact there are day mozzies too.So the safest place from mozzies is inside the mozzies net

Khlaay=relieve, Khriat=tension.
Mind you I am a Thai and it took me ages (weeks)to work out what is the pronouciation of 'khlaay khriat' in Thai.

Forgot to add my 3 favorite
Thai
Indian
Italian
Tornado...no not the Sugar Hut,don't think I can afford to buy a glass of water in there
. Your mate must be rolling as I heard it s very expensive!Jockstar..I have looked up on the net for a Thai restaurant on Uxbridge Rd, and I only found the one in Ealing which is too far away,unless there is another Uxbridge Rd in East London?
Nogut...have your checked your cholesterol level lately?
But I must admit for the English food I love the Black Pudding...oh and the food in Harvester restaurant. Sua Yai..yes I meant that one, been there a few time but my dates paid for me so no problem with the price
, having said that the one in Gants Hill is the same price but not as good food. -
I went back to the Uk in March last year. There was a Thai restaurant near where i stayed in Acton. I went in for a carry out and spoke Thai to them. My Thai is ok but not great. I asked for basic ffod. Kapow Nua, Yum nua or moo, pak prik eng moo. Would you believe they didnt do it. I was like what the ######. These foods something not unusual Thai food.. But still they couldnt do it. After that i found a better place , still in Acton but with a better choice. Thai restauarnts tend to cater for farang tastes in the uk. ie green/red curry , pad thai etc.
At least if they spoke Thai to you it would still be ok. Me and my fiance went to a Thai restaurant in Gants Hill in East London. They are a branch of a very famous Thai restaurant in Fulham (name? something chang) First I spoke to a waitress in Thai and she said sorry can't speak Thai!!!
It seemed to me that no Thais work there! may be only in the kitchen. Then we asked for the Pad kapraw if they could change from chicken to prawns ( we would pay more for the prawns) They said no we can't do that.( too difficult huh?) bye bye the fake Thai restaurant. We had never been back. -
siamrugby,
Havn't got used to this quote thing yet.
You'd be more able to advise me about the teeth. I'm sure they were ivory, rather than gold, but must admit I didn't take too long looking at the kids picking them up. Everyone seemed happy though.
However long I've been in Thailand, there are just some things that get to me. That was one of them and her mother was a good person. I didn't say a word.
No I didn't mean the real teeth, I meant the 22k gold that the rich people use to cover their teeth,it s very popular with the Thai-Chinese. Another thing I think they do is the undertaker or relative will put some coins in the mouth of the dead person to spend all the way to heaven, well that is the idea
. I know the chinese go one step ahead of the Thais. They will burn model paper of everything which they think the dead will want or need. You name it they got it..paper house,paper servants, paper car, paper money etc. all in miniature version. That is the way of sending the goodies to the dead on the otherside.Thais, on the other hand don't have that tradition of burning paper things. But we only seem to send food to the otherside via the monks. What we do is we give the dead's favorite food to the monks to eat then the monks will prey for the dead and then in the evening we come home and pour water on the ground and prey, telling the dead that the food is on the way
this ritual with water is called 'kruat num' .It might sound silly to you but I think it s a way of how people grieve for their love one as they feel that they can do something.

Twice ...GBH on my ex's former hubby (UK) ....should add it was 20 years ago.
Must say you are brave to say that, wish anyone did that to my ex too
. I was with him for 11yrs and they said some murderers do less time in prison than me -
That's dreadful.
When the ex's mother passed away 2 years ago, the family burnt her mattress and belongings. I later found out that there was @ 100,000 Baht in the mattress. Up in smoke!!
The other thing I couldn't abide was everyone searching for teeth after the cremation. Meant to be lucky.
I suppose we all grieve in our own ways.
Wow that was an expensive funeral!
I have never heard of lucky teeth but heard of people searching for gold teeth and certainly that s not for luck! -
My wifes funeral was a bit of a mess.. She was practically estranged from her family and her only really close relative (read the only one that did not beg money and get hopelessly drunk) is her sister in Europe..
We had the 5 day wat affair while the family tried to make every thing as horrible and cheap (while I paid for the lot lavishly) so more whisky could be brought at each opportunity.. While grieving beside the coffin I had to listen to her bitch of a mother (drunk gambler who literally deserted her when she was a child) put her down and criticising her inside the temple next to the coffin, I wanted to strangle her at that monent..
The wishes of her friends, me, and sister were all ingored (using the local temple to us so we could have the wake) and the family took over and used what was convenient and close to them, hence it was hard for all of her friends to get to the temple daily and tought to get her many friends all there to be together.. Hence I spent the days grieving at the temple surrounded by strangers who I resented and felt hostile to... In turn they blagged me for money. In retrospect I should have had more confidence and just not allowed them to take my wifes body from the hospital, she did not get on with them and I (and her friends) was her real family, my confidence at organizing the temple duties was low as my head was reeling and I made the mistake at the begging through weakness.
We cremated her 23rd Feb 2004.
Kim 3.7.74 to 18.2.2004 RIP
My condolences, I am really sorry to hear that. Also reminded me when my dad died. I am Thai by the way. When it was the last hour of my dad's life in hospital my dad's family chose not to call his wife and his young kids at home. So we didn't have the last chance to say goodbye. Also any valuable thing he got with him dissapeared when mum got his body. The funeral was near their home so mum and her young kids (4,5,8) had to travel to the whole week of the funeral as we lived far away from the temple.
Well,I grew up and didn't know any relative on dad' side. Mum chose not to contact them but guess it suited them too as they were concern that the young widow and her young kids might need to ask them for help financially. Fortunately,we managed ok.

whats it for?

Can a butta, i mean "all" colorful winged Butta' flies stay with same flower
in big romance Garden
Does the word "fidelity" mean anything to you? Lucky me I have never met you.
Fidelity? I never mentioned the word "wife", because i couldn't or didn't
know where to find the right one.
All i mentioned was commercial sex or girlfriends. Even once my GF betrayed
me, despite i was sending here 20,000 plus baht every month and i sticked
with her only during all that period.
Sometime i think it's farangs stupidity, that go for easy girls. Easy come,
easy goes.
Same old story we heard it so often here. But we all do silly thing when we are in love. My apology to think that you are one of those guys who are never faithful.
-
I understand you are Thai? And you ask if the word "fidelity" has any meaning? Duh! Who invented the concept "Mia Noi"?
May be King Henry Vlll? heard he got so many wifes and when he got bored with anyone he simply killed them
-
No oddballs in Chiang Mai? Jack let me take you on a tour sometime. My sense is there are mostly oddballs here. And I include myself, proudly!
And, me thinks maybe you, too, Jack
To me, 'oddballs' are fine...Like Free Thinkers, perhaps. Now, if your're talking about a**h*les and idiots, that's a different story, but there are plenty of those here too....
Totally agree Ajarn, May I join your club too when I move up there?
-
Ok you win as it is getting rather childish
Got more to do in life rather than take notice of some verbal abuse from a virtual enermy guess you are used to that anyway as I notice you do that with everyone here. -
Thanks Thaiflyer, I am fine. Won't get into any more arguement now as it s pointless really.
Yes,Stroll. They were trying to use less risky way in the UK by the police as they were never armed. But now since the 9/11 and the increasingly amount of armed drug dealers you now see armed police everywhere all over Uk, especially London.
but hey I can't help it now.
. TRUST? I have never asked him who he chats to on line or who is he talking to on the phone or vice versa. I also am the one who normally point out to some pretty girl on the street to him 'wow look at her, she got such a pretty face' etc and yes I am the one who let him go to Pattaya!
Supporting Students, Good Idea?

Hold it Bluffer, I feel like I am obliged to answer this. No, Ram is not especially bad and yes I graduated from Ram.
In Thailand everyone wants to go to uni and all parents want their kids to go to uni. The Thais attitude is that we believe education is very important. There are a lot of uni in Thailand but students can only get in by taking exam called 'Entrance' the high score student got the place in their choosen uni. (And lot of student commit suicide every year if they fail their 'Entrance'!) The rest of student who fail will go to Open University which Ram is one of them. So you can see there must be million of youngsters (and oldsters
) at Ram.
Well, not all Ram girls will do what you think but yes there must be some girls that using Ram uni or other as a way of raising their status to sell their 'product' but ruin the university 's reputation.
