Thais use it amongst each other mainly, it's the equivalent of "tight arse".
They use it more often than Westerners would though, as the concept of saving money doesn't exist in Thailand and a lot of Thais just don't get why one would have money but choose not to spend it.

Thai girls odnt love the falang it is hes money and only hes money - I dont understand why so many are so crazy after marry a thai woman - to say it frankly they are useless .
you can not ask them about anything cause they dont know anything -even a masterdegree thai hardly knows where USA or Europe it
Thet are interested in Thailand only - brainwashed by a sick system with lack of intilligence.
Many seems to thing they wil be living in a dream paradise with their " thai family" - forget it. you are tolerated and accepted but never a part of their closed society.
I have meet ladys from otehr Asians neighbourhoods which hare much clever -
They are not interested if you cna speak 5 langueges fluently or the system in your country
The are interested in their own foods,their own sick soap operas TV movies-
they dont want to try your " falang food" they dont like it even they never tasted it
The listen to their own " music" - and to the monks which rip them of for money and they seem themselves as a kind of " upperclass " among other asian countries
forget it you wil never be able to have a thai after european style she has no respect for you but she will have respect for her thai husband whom are often a drunken violent perosn with monkey brain who dont want to work - but run around with other women ..
I wil never nver involved my self with a thai - then your worst nightmare will begin,
sorry if Io ffende any - but its the sad thruth ,,
Sounds like you got screwed big time. FYI it isn't the same for everyone else, and Thai men DO work, I honestly don't get where that stereotype comes from.
-
Every woman is different everywhere in the world and that includes Thailand.
There are indeed recognizable traits in people according to where they are from, but that doesn't include emotions and feelings.
There is no such thing as "Thai girls' approach to love", all you're gonna get is people giving their own experiences, and that will range from "Thai girls are cheating b**ches" to "Thai girls are devoted and caring", both these assessments being stereotypical and biased.

The only racism I've seen against blacks in Thailand came from Thais. It's due to ignorance and their ridiculous white skin neurosis.
And what form, pray tell, did this "racism" you've seen take?
Derogatory remarks such as "chocolate man", "King Kong" and so on. In this country your value as a person is assessed in a glimpse of an eye based on your appearance, the opposite of Martin Luther King's dream.

No woman is worth dating. Women are for sex period and as soon as men figure this out the world will be a much better place. Dating = sex. You want to sit and chat, go out with your buddies. The best date is one where there are no plates or cups in front of her. Give the money directly to her, knock one out in 30 minutes or less and move on. Too many guys in today's world want to be the WKOP. (White Knight of Poon) expensive dinners, flowers, sweet poems. etc..... Pathetic. Those days are over. Women are scandalous skanks and as soon as men rise up and change their attitudes about women this world will become a masculine world again. Men have become vaginized and too kind towards women. The world has become pussified.
It always comes down to money. ALWAYS!!!! Guys who marry think its free!!! Ha Ha Guys who say they date normal girls and that they are different than bar girls.... Come on. Seriously? You move a chic in with you or marry her you end up paying her rent, food, phone car, etc.... And if you divorce, Vaginamony. All girls are the same. Worldwide. This is just not Thai girls.
Financial planners should start telling their single male clients not to marry but use a service provider for sex. Getting married is not good for saving money for your future.
I disagree with the OP that finding a so called more normal Thai girl is better. Ill take the hot babes and not so hot babes who want some cash and fake that they enjoy being with me over a date with a school teacher who has another hidden agenda. Hit it, quit it and pay is the way to go. No dinners, no flowers, no movies, no trips. It isn't necessary.

Blimey. Whatever she did to you, I sympahize. She screwed you up bad.

Thailand joined the Hague Convention in 2002 and as far as I know rules are complied with, for adoption anyway.
No, in reality it's hit or miss.
Lots of foreign parents kidnapping their kids have fled here. Only those where the "home jurisdiction" nation actively pursues enforcement through their embassy, e.g. the UK and US have had some success.
In the cases where there are Thai parents they won't send the children back but insist the case be tried here, which goes against the HC rules.
And there is no such crime in Thailand, civil matter only.
I see, interesting.
Just out of curiosity, what happens if a guy abducts his kids and manages to reach Europe (or Australia or the US)?
I always assumed that Thai authorities and his home country authorities worked together as part of the HC to catch him, fly the kids back to Thailand and prosecute the guy.
-
Can't get on the plane without written permission from the mother.
Plus his home country authorities prosecute him for parental kidnapping.
Passport control do not usually require the mothers permission, however they may be suspicious if you and they are not accompanied by someone they think is the mother. The way to get around this is to employ some Thai female to accompany you to say KL, the Thai passport control may/will
Automatically assume that she is the mother, you will of course need the children's Thai passports.
Regarding parental kidnapping, it depends if your country, is a signatory to The Hague convention.
There is some uncertainty (are we surprised)as to whether Thailand has actually signed this convention and if so, does it abide by the rules. Let's say for arguments, that there is a legal framework to return the children to the mother,1/ does she know this. 2/ does she know how to, and will she be prepared to take action.3/ will she be prepared to hand out money, as she will most certainly need to in order to get the ball rolling.

Yes and?
In order to get my ex to agree to full custody, I had to promise her that any suitor of our daughter would have to ask her for permission to marry her, and that she would get the sin sot.
Our daughter was two at the time.
Absolutely. I know for a fact that Thais are happy to have daughters because they will yield cash when they marry. For luk kruengs it's multiplied by 10.
Oh yeah, I await the bazillionsn for my daughter ....
What a load of bs.
I'm not referring to Western parents, but Thais exclusively.
The clan discuss very early on how much they will let the daughter go for, based on various criteria pertaining to social standing, and for those with farang blood the quote is definitely inflated.
This is a plain fact, as sure as the sky is blue. In the OP's case, the aunt has become the primary caregiver and as such she will pocket a tidy sum when they marry to secure her golden years (or squander the lot in record time as is often the case).
This is the way Thais see and do things - it isn't bs, it's the plain truth.
-
Maybe the inlaws think the girls have sin sot potential and are trying to steal them away from you?
they are 6 years old....

Your facts are out of your backside.
Er... Ok...
Not entirely sure what my backside has to do with this... Anyway:
The people I heard that from were of Thai nationality and born and bred in Thailand.
Money is an essential component at all levels of Thai society, and it isn't deemed vulgar to add a price tag to everything and mix money matters with feelings.
-
If your ex is a bar girl you may want to get a private investigator to get pics of her sitting drinking on a bar stool wearing a mini-skirt etc. Even if she isn't a bar girl you can probably catch her messing with farangs on Bangla.
Contact any Thai friends you have who would be willing to write a letter stating you're a sound, balanced guy etc.
This will definitely play in your favour in court.
-
What's that about having to wear a sticker? Like a yellow star? What's next, farangs having to sit at the back of buses?
-
Sorry about your situation, mate.
If I was in such a situation, I would get in touch with a lawyer and ask him what to do to get custody, and do it, whatever it takes, no matter how long it takes and no matter how much it costs. Be pragmatic about it. Thais want money.
If consent is needed by parties involved such as the in-laws and their mother, I would borrow from the bank and offer to pay them 100,000 each for them to sign the kids off to you for good. Speak to a lawyer about any paperwork.
They will take the cash because Thais always take the cash.

There are rats everywhere, no matter where you live.
Well, there are a bit more in Patong than in other places, mate. And Frenchies not being straight in business isn't the primary threat there.
Still, thanks for the warning.

The minimum wage in Thailand is 300 baht a day... 300x30 is 9000 baht per month. A lot of Thai's with families are earning only that so if you are sending her 15000 a month to sit on her backside she is doing very well thanks very much.. TELL HER TO GET A JOB....
Well, I guess being a wife is her job. So I pay her. Seriously, how is any man going to get & keep a woman if he doesn't have any money?? I've tried to spot some homeless guys with women but no luck yet..
Having money is not the same thing as paying your wife a monthly salary to stay with you
Sent from my GT-I9152 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
Sharing your income with your wife isn't "paying" her for a "job". In my case if my wife worked I would have to spend more time at home taking care of our son, I would work less. Basically if my wife worked we would have less money.
We share the budget and yes as my family's provider that does involve me transferring money to her account. Does that mean she is a "salaried wife"? No, that is a concept I am not familiar with, I'm afraid. Does she "sit around all day doing nothing"? Nope, while I work she takes care of all the other stuff and I can assure you there is a lot to do.
She comes from a low-income country, asking her to work doesn't put us on the same level if I earn in 2 days what she would earn in a month. It isn't fair and the "tell her to get a job" thing isn't always relevant.
Of course I'm talking about an actual life partner here, not someone just met last week.

We do not know enough about the OPs position here, is he separated from his wife? If so, does he want to be with his wife? Is it the case that he does not want to be with his wife? Or maybe he does and he wants to look after her hoping she will come back so he keeps sending her money.
Is he working away from home with the wifes blessing? Did they talk about the finances between them before he left? In any case. 15.000 Baht per month is enough to keep her. He is not responsible for the wifes mother, that is her responsibility along with any brothers or sisters he may have.
I think to give the OP any help or advice, he will need to tell us more.
We're not separated. We're married. I'm just sending money to her while I'm away. I currently work for a living and hope to move to Thailand permanently in the future though.
I was hoping 15k a month would keep her happy but I don't know if it's enough. She says I at least *partially* support her whole family?
I have no idea how an entire family could survive on that small amount I sent her. Seemed like a joke to me.Neither her nor you are meant to support the whole family. 5,000 baht to the parents is enough.
All other family members should work or rely on their own children, not on you.
15k is enough is she lives a low key Thai lifestyle, but if not, of course it isn't - could you live on 15k in Thailand?
It depends on how much you can afford, and it also depends on her and her family's view: do they put pressure on her because she has a farang boyfriend? (in which case be careful). Or do they understand being white doesn't mean you have a magic money-making wand? (in which case you might be able to build a long-lasting, meaningful relationship).

Thais are clueless about just about everything, it's what makes them so charming on some days and so unbearable on others.
The colonial master speaks,we know best my children.Contrasending at best,racist at worst.
Or just the plain, unbiased truth after years of expatriation in all parts of Thailand.
Racism, prejudice and condescending attitudes are 9 times out of 10 expressed by Thais. Westerners nowadays are typically raised in melting pot environments and don't look down on other ethnicities, nor have any form of prejudice.

I know many farmers lack much formal education but to believe in a scheme that offered to pay them 50% more than the market price for their rice was ever going to be more than a scam was being naive in the extreme. They should have just sold their rice to the brokers at the market price at harvest time.
Yes, but if you've ever spent time with these people you will know they are largely unaware of how the world works and very vulnerable.
Blaming them for it is like blaming an old woman for being mugged.
The Thai government is 100% responsible for an ugly crime against its own people, and it should pay up no matter what.

Half children
What is the remaining half? Machine? Animal?
I am sure this choice of words here is not very constructive. People of mixed ethnic originals are full Thai nationals, and often have twice as much to offer through a dual exposure to different cultures.
Unfortunately xenophobia can't be reasoned with.
I bet the same woman who said that luk kreungs aren't worthy of her school has unnaturally white skin and has silicon in her nose or dreams of doing it.
Hate farangs but want to look like them - The Thai paradox. Fascinating.

only 40 days in and all down hill from here 555<deleted>????????? Worst news all year
Let me be the first to congratulate you on having a pretty good year so far.
Words of advice:
Stick with DTAC, don't fall in love, always use a condom, beware of street cart food, don't complain about Russians, get used to hearing Free Bird and Hotel California, always ask how much something cost beforehand, get a Thailand drivers license from the DLT immediately, buy a cheap secondhand moped and don't take any crap!
If you live in Pattaya or Phuket, yes. Agree with the condoms and license. However:
What's wrong with 12Call?
Why not fall in love?
Why cheap and second hand?
-
Could this be the result of excessive talking about this on forums such as this one? Someone was bound to pick it up at some point and report it to the relevant bodies. The loss of income was probably huge and it was bound to happen.

You just described the mind of the average Thai.
No, the average Thai would not part that easily with such a large amount, and for most of them when money is involved religious principles conveniently go out the window. Your average Thai would be feeling very frustrated and angry after it became obvious it was a scam.
This is not a common psychological profile and the guy who did this probably spent quite a long time looking for the right victim before preying on her.
I have no idea how an entire family could survive on that small amount I sent her. Seemed like a joke to me.

"For those that have lived in Thailand for a long time and watched the baht rise and fall do you envision a time where $10-12k/ month would not be enough to live comfortably and safely?"
No, thank God for most of us!
