Okay, not a question you should ask in Thailand, but I'm sure there are some interesting stories. They might even involve Thailand's finest, and I don't mean the police ?

 

I met my own wife through an introduction agency. I had not long turned 40 and thought it was time to settle down and on a brief and unexpected trip to Thailand (not my first visit), I thought I'd see what was available. I looked through the books and the girl I picked out was a friend of the (female) owner. A meeting was arranged for that evening, which turned out to be her birthday (!) but she didn't say much and when I asked her if she wanted to meet again I was surprised that she said yes.

The next evening we met together with her friend from the agency, a lively individual which probably helped my future wife relax more. She was 13 years younger than me, so not excessive at that stage of life, and she worked on the information counter at the Tokyu department store next to Mahboonkrong in Bangkok. She claimed that she only posed for pictures for fun while she was visiting the agency owner. Who knows or cares. We ended up getting married 14 days after we met, and that was over 27 years ago. Now and then I've had to count to 10, sometimes 100, but it's worked out okay.

Over to you.........

Wow. Boring.

If you open a thread like this please make sure that at least you have a somewhat interesting story.

As for me, I was randomly perving on Facebook for Thai women, looking for the ones that had a good job. I friended than blocked each and every one from Phitsanulok and Isaan.

Really? My 10 year passport started suffering from this problem after only 1 year. It's completely invisible now, but I never had anyone complain about it....and I travelled a lot.

As I've said, in a previous post, my wife was a chef in a restaurant before I moved here. Earned 12k baht/month, 12hours per day six days per week. As I hardly ever saw her, it was my idea that she gave up work.

 

Clearly you didn't read or, more likely understand my post, it's the Thai way not just the Thai/ferang way.

 

I give my Thai wife a small allowance (6k) 1 k she sends to her 2 teenage children who live with their father, 1k she puts in a savings account and the rest she spends on personal items, trips to the salon, gifts for me etc.

 

Yes, I have lifted her out of poverty, is that a bad thing? It's something that I'm proud of, something good that I've done with my life and have been amply rewarded for it. She's worked hard all her life, was thrown out of the house with just the clothes on her back when her Thai husband moved his mia noi in. She's a fantastic person and if I can give her a happier life, she thoroughly deserves it.

 

When my farang wife gave up work to look after our 2 small children, I gave her an allowance (much greater than 6k baht!).

 

You need a trip to reality, it's not Thai women that are cynical and mercenary, it's the bitter and twisted farangs who need to get over themselves.

It's not Thai way....it's poverty way.

Ask any educated Thai woman earning good income if she would stoop so low.

She have up her 12k a month job to get 6k a month allowance?

Obviously you are not telling a full story.

Yes. Good lesson. Farang get angry and burn house. Farang go to jail longtime. 

When I realized that my relationship wasn't working, I left. House, car and motorbike. No hard feelings. I did love her and was happy to provide her with everything.

Now I'm looking for a new lady that lives at the beach. Don't want to build another house upcountry. I like to be by the sea.

Just a Canadian guy building houses in SEA one lady at a time.

Can you build me a house? I'm in Canada now and will take care of it while you experiment in SE Asia. After all, you do need a place to come back to.

I think when you post a question like this, you already know the answer. You are in fact posting a question to vent, which is pretty understandable.

Just don't make the same mistake again.

You must have sound reasons to want to do this but i can not imagine why.

I have been bald for a very long time with only a few patches left.

If i could find an affordable treatment to stop my hair from growing  would do that in an instant.Hair does not make you the person you are.

I would suggest to cut whatever you have left very short or even shave and try that for a fwe weeks.You will find out,nobody cares if you have hair or not.If there are a few who react negatively,tell them to get a life and look at their own short comings.

Be bold and go bald!!

You are wrong. I'm also almost bald, but in my case it doesn't affect me mentally as I always liked to shave my head and have a good looking shaped head. Some men are not so lucky and hair loss affects them more.

Personally, I am getting tired of shaving my head every 4-5 days and am sometimes considering a transplant.

I honestly thought Germans had one of the best pension plans. Why is his so low?

Why?

Clearly you do care - but it wasnt propaganda.  Like Starky I dislike the Thai bashers like you.

 

In your own words: your statement sounds something that would come out of the antifa cheerleader herself (Mad Max).

 

 

If your post could only make sense

yep I sure do, every morning when I turn on my computer and see your mutts face on your posts. You want to give an opinion and then when people disagree with you, you get p*ssed, I really feel sorry for you, must not be easy lacking a decent education and having the ability to think rationally but dont worry I am sure you will grow up one day. Let me know if you need another dummy to spit, have a good one

Love your work Starkey ??  

 

Notice how 'they' always demean others by doubting their education and morals, when in fact it is always 'them' that lack intelligence and morals.

There is a common thread amongst them all - a liberal/biased education that results in dogmatic thinking and a lack of common sense.

There is an old school phrase that sums them up : "cant see the forest for the trees".  

There is also a new school one too:  "has the vision and mental focus of a goldfish".

 

Major eye roll and bore you are.

Thai Visa posters are not mostly American and could care less about your anti liberal propaganda.... and I say this as someone who would most likely be anti liberal if I was living in USA.

Nope, I think the OP was pretty clear. Let's keep uneducated masses on the road for the sake of kids being kids and anyone who points out the obvious - that Thais are absolute animals on roads will be proclaimed to be a Thai basher.

Actually, this sort of statement sounds something that would come out of the antifa/liberal cheerleader himself.

Canada.

Serbia is more like Thailand. Everyone knows everyone and you don't feel isolated and always have company.

This is why I got so depressed with "mind your own business" mentality.

If people back home have no friends, don't sleep with 20 year old girls, don't lounge on beaches, can't stay in cheap resorts and don't have wives that clip their nails, that doesn't mean they are depressed......

Sizzler meat quality is crap tho..... 

It doesn't even look like meat when you cut it open, texture just  looks wrong somehow 

 

The salad and soups are good tho

That's why I will only have a fish lunch special there and a burger (I think their burger is pretty good).
