Maybe tell you that this is a matriarchal society and in general the woman wear the pants in the family

So sit her down and talk to her about it see if she can change a bit more

Here is an idea Get engaged to her and buy her a ring to show it This should dissuade the cop from pursuing her

Everyone is missing the point here. Yes the rice scheme was a bad idea from the get go. I said to my girlfriend once they announced they where getting into it that there are going to be problems with it

Having said that it is the full responsibility of the government to pay for the rice that is in the scheme and in a timely fashion.

They have not done so and think it is a game Why not borrow the money from a different Ministry. Or do so with Thai banks Don't play with the money from what is clearly a vertebrata of Thailand. The Thai farmer

Next time anyone sits down and eats a bowl of rice. Think about the Farmer who cannot send a kid to school or make a payment on land he is farming...

This is not due to any fault of theirs its clearly the fault of Thai leadership Plain and simple

You have lived with her for 2 years Don't be a schmuck. Give her some money and tell her its over. She put as much into the relashionship as you did for that period

Legally you don't owe her anything but be a man and give her something

Actually right now is a good time Tourists are down because of the protests and hotels feel the pinch

Also the weather is terrific Try Ao Maneo Fantastic area and not too many people

To resolve any problem before it begins I do internet dating and have a policy never to date a girl that comes from Pattaya or who says she is a massage girl

Most are hookers and I want nothing to do with them

I have found there are a lot of good girls I have met from good families

I always ask where their family lives and the closer the family generally the better the girl is I mean distance from them

If a girl lives here and says her family lives in Udon them I want to know where they work and for how long

Lots of poor woman looking for banks and a lot that are really looking for a nice guy

Hey nice girls also <deleted>

What your wife did was criminal on a corporate level. I would go to an attorney and also fine criminal charges against here

A good attorney can help you hear.

Suthep wants to block the most fundamentals of democracy THE VOTE.

How can he say he represents democracy when he does not want to allow the most basic of principals of Democracy THE VOTE

He wants to lead by a council that is not elected

This man is a Marxist. Call it what it is

It is a wolf in sheep's clothing

This is called "LIFE"

It will depend on the protests

I have found that many Thai woman con their man into getting land then after a while fly the coup

So right now you are screwed but should take steps before she really fly's away

Common Get real and stop thinking with the small one

She is 20 and lives in Pattaya What is her work If she says you are really the father then get a DNA test to prove it

And it is a trap never the less she is 20 and is poor she probably does not know anything else

Good luck it sounds like you need it

Take her shopping with the stipulation that she must join Thai Visa

Simple

Just say no the the funding of the marriage Tell her you object to it and its not your culture so they will have to find another way

A lot of these so called cultural things a dying on the vine regardless

Its your money not hers So simply tell her NO

Thanks it end of story

And make it clear to his so called girlfriend She had better show respect or not come in the house

I would think its because she does not know how to act around a FARANG not that she is being disrespectful So let her know

Thailand has draconian immigration rules. Most other countries encourage people who have the right credentials to come and enrich that society and its people.

There is no enrichment in Thailand no future Nothing other than come and spend your money Then go away

Wonder what the United States England or even France would be like if they just told their emigrants and not emigrants to take a hike. I love Thailand but Thailand must learn to treat their foreigners with respect.

Just one question. What would happen to Thailand if all the foreign country businesses and their foreigners decided to pick up and leave.

I rest my case

HEY T SHIRT MAN

This is a much better idea

Have an avatar of a FARANG EATINGGuava and then have the words

FARANG KIN FARANG

Every time I say that in Thai and I mean every time the Thais give me a boisterous laugh

Its very easy to get a divorce at the Amphor. Just go with your wife and sign a amphor document stating its a divorce.

If there are no documents that she made up that she wants you to sign it is a simple process to do

I did and the divorce was instant Just government documents you don't need translated. Just agree to the divorce. If she has some docs she wants you to sign get them translated

Other than that nothing more

Good luck with your divorce

Just to let everyone know. You do not need an excuse for a new Passport

Just go to the US embassy and apply They are very happy to help.

New passport you will not have any problem getting  tourist visas

Its hard but I would do as many have suggested Change the locks . pack her bags and leave them outside with a note.

Say in the note its over and leave There may be some fighting but in the end it will work

What I did with a girlfriend of 5 years was tell her someone else was moving in in 2 weeks and she had to go She eventually left

1 million baht Commom that is way too much Even weathly dont expect that. 400,000 or 500,00o tops And to tell you the truth

You are falang and really should pay nothing for sin sod. But keep the faith. They see farang as rich in comparison to Thai and will take advantage of it regardless of the Education

I am with a Thai lady now for 6 years and she has a university degree No sin sod and I was married to a Thai lady for 12 years now divorced and no sin sod

You are giving her a great opportunity to marry you and her parents know this. They know you will make a good husband for their daughter.

I know she wants a million but cut it in half Not realistic my friend and I have lived here for 14 years and speak Thai and know what they woman do here

Be realistic and think with your head

(between your shoulders)

You half to activate your debit card with the bank for on line use Very easy to do Just call them and they will walk you through it

To be clear you should talk to a lawyer but I can tell you that this is civil and not criminal so your wife will have no problem going to Thailand and leaving Thailand

Police do not get involved in Civil matters

I had a problem with my ex Thai wife I had co signed on a couple of credit cars . Then divorced here and about 5 years later I went to the bank I had co signed with and wanted to open a bank account

I had no problem with the bank and have since left and come back to Thailand several times. The bank did ask me about the credit cars and I told them I was divorced and did not know about them That my ex was responsible for the cards and that was the end of it with the bank

So it is prudent to talk to a lawyer but I can tell you again Its civil not criminal So although your wife did not do it the proper way other than bankruptcy she has no problems

In reality the first mistake you made was showing them you have money compaired with the Thai girl you love.l She has a child and was married before regardless of it was for the childs name or not.

You have to be firm and point out to the mother that no sinsod will be paid because she was married and has a child.

Understand that a previously married woman with child here in Thailand is not looked on too well in Thai culture. But the mother sees a pay day and figures you have money so what the hell.. She really knows on a second marriage with child there is no Sinsod.

I would suggest to you that since you pay about 1500 US per month Tell the mother you will not give sinsod they way she wants but will give her $2,000 usd or similiar amount to help the family and leave it at that . There will be some grumbling but they will accept it

Tell them that is the way it is out they will always look for money Be strong and don't be stupid even thought you love her.

I have been here 10 years and understand this well
