Why herself why not the..... House?

if she burnt the house she would still be in debt.

but not sure what to trade

At the best of times that would be a recipe for disaster and with the current market conditions you'd get slaughtered if you don't even know what you want to trade.

Suggest you give yourself $100.000 in imaginary money and make trades with that for 6 months or a year at the least.

imaginary trading is udderly useless!

Sin sot is actually a chinese tradition and not a Thai one. So basically farangs are running around with Thai/Isaan women pretending to be Chinese men!

Also it is tradition for something to be given for the sin sot if not returned, i.e land held in escrow until first baby is born.

At the moment I am holding the upperhand, although I paid 100k to get engaged (silly me! - I know) for previously married woman with a bratty sprog.

Still 2 years later and a kid of our own, they want to save face (father is poo yai baan) unmarried daughter has two kids one with a farang she has not married

Marriage will happen, when they drop the sin sot talk! or I walk and leave them with zero face!

You are AmAziNg- in a bad way.................lol.

Its ovious they see you as a bag of money yet willing to marry.

What you are seeing is what all women go through. And you can ber sure it is much worse when you are not there.

Best to let her mother advise her on how to deal with it, women know.

As for you, suggest you just direct menacing looks at the offenders when it happens in your presence.

I dont leer @ all girls. Just the hot ones!

fighting inequality is one of those things you say to make the poor you think you care for them...........lol.

but you really are against.

if poor did rise they would kick you out of office................lol.

At least he's recognizing this problem and agrees that investment and access to capital is important but shouldn't be a handout.

inequlaity is caused by govt policy.

any wonder why inequality has increased under obama even though he preaches against it..............lol.

Is their anyone in their right mind who would pay(invest) in a business with a corrput cop?

So, if I can try and summarise what the general consensus is... That, I should try and up my investment as it's bound to be a great success?!

the consensus is your a fruitcake if you buy the hotel.

kenny rogers said you got to know when to fold em.

after 9,000,000(is that what it is?) i think its time to folde em..................lol.

Golden rule of thai. Dont get involved with issan wimmin. Go for the 1o-16 middle class thai chinese looking for a dingy farang..........lol.

Im at a total loss at whats so attractive about girls respectable thai mans dont want.

Do the Thai Chinese thing. Daughter's whereabouts must be known at all times, must be accompanied at all times and must be in by a certain time. I am assuming your daughter is look khreung. Thai blokes definitely have a trophy culture surrounding look khreungs, something like Pakistanis in the UK with white women (i.e. for sex not marriage). Here, it is up to the family to protect the girl, no social services, no effective policing, etc.

and is not alone outside the house

im no expert in raising young hot girls. But wouldnt this drive the girl away into mens eagerly waiting arms?

the girl would be curious what its like to be with a leerer?

Well, at least they don't look disgusted. Take it as a compliment and move on.

Knowing leering boys want to do the NAStie with your daughter is not complimentary.................lol.

To make matters worse some of these boys are 50+ lol.

What does the thai mom think? Proud to have a daughter who is MEGA HOT?

Reduce the wealth of the rich while keeping the poor poor. Every politicians WET DREAM!

well this sap came to the wrong place for help, it seems that none of the posters save a few have any positive light to shine on the problem. how could they help,...they never made a misstake. no experiance with this kind of woman. they all have susy q's at home cooking, cleaning and helping them to be the best they can. bunch a change face cork suckers

good girl online virgin? Who doesnt see this as a red flagg...................lol.

op being the EXcepTION.................lol.

Wondering how someone semi-literate managed to accumulate $120,000.

No helping for any guy as daft as the OP.

(this can't be real)

maybe in college he could hit a 90mph fastball and got drafte by mlb. Then he fizzled out and came to thailand..............lol.

Is confused american for real? smells like a troll to me, well his english is very poor so he could be that dumb.

He would have to be that dumb to get involved with such trash and spend so much money. What really bothers me is that so many stories like that happen so frequently. How do so many stupid/naive/ignorant/desperate men even live long enough to make the plane trip to here?

I dont know!

OP deserves all he is getting.............lol. ON-line virgin.............................hahahahahahaha.

one tenth of 1% control 46% of thailands wealth. And people in ameerika complain.............lol.

Anyways. How does taking the rich's money grow the poor issans folks income? You need the rich to pull up the poor but that would mean lees need for silly socialist government BIG wigs. NEVER gonna happen!

Actually, maybe a kind mod could move this to the family forum.

She was wearing a miniskirt over leggings that day which I thought was ok for her age. Maybe her dress should be monitored more.

Sorry Claudius, this ain't Rome.

if she looks old for her age, anything that makes her look 'attractive' is probably not a good idea. I see lots of young Thai girls wearing long dresses- good idea?

I don't know what the Thais are thinking, but I'll bet some tourists, especially western women, are thinking you might be a paedo- I've had to tell people before that a very young girl with an old western man is his daughter/ step daughter, not an illegal liason. It can be understood though as it isn't a 'normal' sight back home, where few older men marry such young women as they do in Thailand and have children with them.

the next line of thought is why are young thai grils marrying old western men....................lol.?

land values in issan and the like is not that difficult. its worth very little!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how much would be the average income on 1 Rei Farmland in Thailand?

I get 11,000bht/year rental for 5 rai of rice paddy.

what a waste of time for a foreigner. give it to a thai!

rule of thumb. Just assume the land has little value. especially if its use will to be to build a familee house.

Just pray she doesnt use her looks to make money........................lol. Happens here quite often!

Guys who leer @ girls only have one thing on their mind. Monkey pounding......................................lol.

yeah! I think youre in the wrong country pal!

Terminal 21 SAnta FE sometimes bring the soup and salad after the main course. @ first i got upset then came to the conclusion NEVERMIND- it is what it is as i saw it happening to other thai customers too.

They really got good corn soup and their prices are ridicuously low!

Don't worry about the negative nellies on here. If you love her (and if she loves you) then go for it but be prepared to shell out....

Why should he be prepared to "shell out"?

Not everyone comes here and marries a poor, modestly-educated woman half his age while paying out a rental fee to her family.

Let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt for now, eh?

Want to bet.

OP said he is getting hitched in the village....................lol. I doubt many middles class thai chicks want to go get married in the sticks.

What would your position be if you decided to marry a western girlfriend?

If you did would you expect no financial commitment? If you did you may well be disappointed so why would you expect something different from a Thai girlfriend?

Because village girls are not the same as your typical western girl.

Research balcony jumping in Thailand first.

marrying in the village must mean the girl is a village girl. Guy assuming his marriage will last to his natural death in concerning.................lol.

Do guys go to the villages looking for a marriage partner or do the boy and girl meet in a big city? I just dont get it
