They buy them, marry them, then hand over everything.
Its hardly surprising that so many Thai women think foreign men are mugs and such easy targets.
I'm good for 10kbht/month plus housing, a scooter and the occasional meal in a restaurant.
There's never been any lack of slim, attractive, much younger takers.
No need to spend any more.

Facemasks are great, if they're N95, you only wear them once, you make sure they're airtight, you have eye protection, you follow the other advice on washing hands, not touching your face, etc.. I bought a couple in Pattaya (100bt each) and if I'm going into any prolonged exposure to potential risk situation I might wear one of them (i.e. queuing at immigration). For everyday use, forget it. As protection they're pretty useless. The one good thing they do is reduce the risk of other people spreading the infection.
19bht in 7-11, you were robbed!

You forgot 'Gowlee' & 'Kairk'

Never met one of them, they're not afraid to call a kairk a kairk.
They all know the phrase, "If you meet a snake and a Indian, strike the Indian first"

The best way to answer would be to put Thai women into a few categories such as
Whores
Mon-whores
And, then answer based on the categories.
I think you mean, 'Whores' and 'gold-diggers' (and maybe a small minority of 'not-interested'), I've not found any other categories, and the only difference between those two main categories are the number of customers.
Why restrict your Nationalities, all our countries do is increase the numbers of the 'not-interested' with welfare.
Let's face it, if Thailand gave single moms free housing, iphones and welfare payments, most of us old guys would be living alone and date-less.

From immigration? Tell me where in the world immigration is chatty and happy to see you? That's your complaint? They are not the welcoming committee.
The Philippines, and Malaysia,
The female immigration officers are so smiley and chatty, I've almost got to the point of giving them my phone number for a meetup after work. One lady at KUL even went so far as suggest it was a pity I was just passing through the airport (90 days waiver) and should spend some more time in the country. At Manila the lady immigration officer asked if I liked the Philippines (yes) and should think about spending more time there and less time in Thailand.
I could have definitely got a date with the Filipino.

he fact that a foreigner cannot own land is responsible for a hell of a lot of problems between mixed husbands and wives. It is also responsible, although usually through their own lack of knowledge/stupidity, for a great many foreigners 'losing their shirt' in Thailand. That may be their own fault but it doesn't make it right.
It's no problem at all if the foreigner obeys the law, and doesn't attempt to buy land by proxy, or by business.
In any con game it helps if the mark is a bit of a crook.

Some people wouldnt suddenly start to hate other people, without any rhyme or reason.
Off topic now,
But we tend to spread education and western cultural thoughts among our families.
Thoughts about freedom and democracy and justice and corruption.

6 minutes ago, Gecko123 said:He uses the derogatory "ai" (อ้าย) in conjunction with the term "farang." Kind of a shocking display of resentment towards Westerners. Nobody here knows the racial identity of who refused to take a mask, so nobody can absolutely conclude that his comments were directed at just white people, but the fact that he felt free to so openly voice to the media such hostility and resentment is disturbing. It also sends an unbelievably ill-advised message at a time when the tourism industry is already in free fall.
I think we all know what the Thai government thinks of us (white guys).
He's just a bit more open and honest than the usual Thai government official.
I'm sure all the Thai immigration officers think exactly the same of us.

Nobody wants to touch the feminists with a barge pole.
I always thought it was more the feminists not wanting to reproduce with white guys.
(Although I admit it might just have been me with whom they didn't want to reproduce)
Anyways, no hard feelings, enjoy your house full of cats.

I'd take all the money I had squeezed out of the system and move to Germany.
It's worked for others!

By doing that, you are committing an offence. Besides, if your old address now belongs to a complete stranger, it makes it a bit difficult to collect the new licence. You would also need to time your illegal renewal application to coincide with a time you are actually in the UK.
It's also easier to hire a car using a Thai licence than UK licence if your addresses on your UK licence and credit card don't match, providing of course, the addresses on your Thal licence and credit card do match.
My UK D/L, NHS doctor, debit cards and bank account details are still registered at the last UK address I used.
No reason to change any of it.
My Thai D/L, hospital registration, debit cards and bank details are all for the Thai address where I live.
No reason to change any of them either.
Nobody cares, nobody checks, as long as you have money & income the DVLC, NHS, DWP, banks are happy enough to keep it for you without really caring if you live there or not. No point in telling HMRC about living overseas, all my income is sourced and taxed in the UK. All my UK tax refunds are applied for online, repayment direct to my UK bank account within 14 days.
All the old fools worrying about addresses and offences are just that ........

Minister of Health and Social Affairs Aino-Kaisa Pekonen said the aim of the “radical reform” was both to improve gender equality and to boost a declining birth rate.
How about giving men equal rights to child custody?

Are they put in a room, given a news report concerning a grave situation, then given fifteen seconds to announce a positive reponse?
I think it's more to do with your previous rank in the army and the wealth of your family.

Well the issue is the way the account is set up as the bank does not allow that account access to a card or online as it makes you have to go to the bank in person which normally is not really an issue till now where we will start going back and forth to USA and need to be able to move the money to pay bills without going to the bank in person and need the online access as we can move money via the phones
Yeah, I've got one of those with TMB.

Heard a similar story from a friend many moons ago. Apparently her mother did the same. So she went to Pattaya to work off the debt and obtained the papers for the property. Whilst she was away, her mother managed to do the same again. I stayed out of it.
Same story from my Thai wife, her mom sold her to me in exchange for paying off the loan (100kbht).
A condition of the marriage and payment, was that ownership of the family farm was transferred to our first born, which was done shortly after his birth, one year after the marriage. Mom's other children still don't know about the transfer of ownership eight years later.
I've still got my son and the family farm.

Once you top the plants the yield will make you more happier.
Unless you are aiming for the biggest bud contest ????
It's also a bit more 'stealthy' not to have a 6' cannabis plant in your back garden.

I find Filipino and Viet faces much more attractive than Thai for some reason.

that her sister took out a loan against her mom's house
Only the home owner can get a loan on their house from a bank, and they need a provable income enabling them to make the repayments in order to obtain the loan.
The lady is lying to you.

The lawyer told me that if at the end of this period, the loan is not repaid, I can take her to court, and the court would sell her house with the land and pay me whatever is realized. Of course, there would be court fees and lawyer fees.
What if she gets a new chanote (very small cost) and sells the house or transfers it to a relative?

11 hours ago, rabang said:I'm going to be brutally honest even though I know many feel offended. The hottest Thai women will almost always choose a Thai man. Maybe some high level East Asian has a chance as well. It always (well, at least in 95% of cases) astonishes me when I see how (White) Westerners have scraped the bottom of the barrell and/or date way down. I have even seen cases of young handsome white guys with local plain Janes.
Most women will choose the man that has the most money they can find.
As for 'handsome young white guys' they always seem to have fat ugly girlfriends either from their home countries or from here. I'm thinking the reason being white guys are fairly desperate for pussy and will take anything that's offered. Our countries and culture appear to be breeding nations of weak men with no ideas of 'self worth'.
I'd rather do it myself, than bang a fat girl (or a woman near my age), I don't need the 'hottest', almost anything under 50kg (and a female from birth) will do me.
