The only problem I can see is that she pees in the bins.

Until my wife was 12 they did all their toilet business in the woods.

I suppose if i had to pee in the middle of the night and we didn't have a toilet, except the woods, I might pee in the bin too.

Though, I assume they have proper plumbing in her village......(my wife was 12 about 26 years ago...lol).

It doesn't sound like much of an problem actually. I think you are just venting.

What exactly does walking around half-naked mean? I walked around in just my boxer shorts infront of inlaws when they were living with us.

The knife and fork thing...okay....I presume she eats with her hands in the village....you try eating sticky rice with a knife and fork, lol.

I wonder if women appreciated facials back then? Or was it foreign to them? Maybe they hadn't been invented?

I get a good laugh out of how they proect their dumb asses so well. I wonder if they know?

If my wife controlled the finances I would have a happier liver, I'd be slim, and I'd certainly have less STD anxiety.

Fortunately she doesn't.

Thai people live in Thai-land, an unique place full of Thai culture. All Thai speak the Thai language and love their Thai country. Thai children go to Thai schools where Thai teachers tell them about the Thai language, the Thai culture and Thai logic so these Thai children will stay pure Thai. Thai children become Thai adolescents and these Thai girls and Thai boys make Thai love and beget more Thai children.

Thai farmers sow Thai seeds in Thai ricefields. Thai monks pray in Thai tempels to soothe Thai karma.

All Thai children care for their Thai parents. When Thai parents are getting older they suffer from Thai diseases, go to Thai hospitals where Thai doctors give them Thai medicines. In the end they die, like people everywhere, and they are cremated in the Thai way.

I tried reading that but got tongue-thaid.

This reminds me of something I've noticed with regards to how the students here are taught to write. My brother in law teaches at a nearby high school and whenever he's grading essays or helping students with speeches, the nationality "Thai" must, for some reason, be liberally peppered throughout the copy. For example, they never write "we should always help other people in need...", they write "we should always help other Thai people in need...".

Similarly, there's Thai PBS. As if people might mistake it for German PBS or Canadian PBS if it were missing the "Thai" prefix. Then of course there's the Royal Thai Police, with the nationality helpfully inserted into the agency's name just to make sure you didn't think we were referring to the Royal Danish Police here in Thailand. Many more examples abound. It's as if the people - excuse me - the Thai people need to be constantly reminded what country they're in.

I'm Thai but raised in the US. Over there I don't remember them saying goofy things like "American PBS" or the "American FBI". It was just assumed that people already knew what country they're in.

Yes, so true. It reminds me of the way foreigners talk about people in Thailand. You will rarely hear people saying: ‘I met an American in New York who told me.....’ or ‘I saw a beautiful Dutch lady in Amsterdam....’. A Russian in New York is different of course.

But in Thailand foreigners nearly always mention the ‘Thai’ word. ‘ I gave a present to a Thai boy in Chiang Mai’ , ‘In Buriram I talked to two Thai farmers and...’ , ‘That Thai man got very angry’. Not ‘that man’ but ‘that Thai man’.

It’s kind of weird to always hear foreigners emphasize the Thainess of people they talk about as if Thainess is their most important and striking quality, more important than their humanity.

Clearly, these fellow's subconscience minds feel aversion to being called Farang all the time. It must be the most overused word in the Thai language. There is little humanity shown here to us. We are moslty unwanted guests. They do well at tolerating us though, I will admit.

Can't blame the Thais really. They have never really had a chance to think anything else.

It will all come out in the wash though.

You may wonder if Thais have normal human feelings sometimes , when you look at how they treat their own family .

Money is more important than to find out if their daughter is happy .

Life is cheap here.

I have no idea if my account is simple or compound. I am such a diddie.

I just opened the Bankok Bank Sinmathaya Subthawee account.

2.50% Tax free if you dont miss a payment for 48 months.

Any of you guys have KTB's Zero Tax accounts? Aparrently up over 3% right now.

Some good ideas on here.

Yup, one floor with music, another without, another full of short time rooms.

This 60% figure goes against actual data. Some people love to make up percentages for everything. I do it sometimes. But I don't belive her figure for a minute.

I also met a mother and daughter working together in a bar, but thought that would be too gross.

That is my second best sexual experience. The daughter is one of the prettiest women that I have ever seen, but the mother is not very attractive. They are not very comfortable together, or it probably would be number one on my list. The whole mother/daughter thing really turns me on.

Before pulling out your wallet to convince people to do something degrading, you may wish to consider if it may be going a tad too far and think of the mental damage it could cause.

Damn, double post...so I'll give her 2nd best dish.....hmm......Fried Rice

Moo det diaow. Don't know the English name, but I would call it Fried Pork Strips.

In Auckland, New Zealand, late on a summer's night with a married woman and her younger unmarried (but engaged) sister in the guest room of the married one's house, while her husband and kids were asleep upstairs.

The two women were out on a Hen's night as the younger one was getting married that weekend. I was in Auckland on a training course for my work and I'd struck up a conversation with the younger one in the bar.

Before I knew it we were all in a taxi and going somewhere, which turned out to be the married sister's house where the engaged one was staying.

The unmarried one and I were just starting out in the guest room and I'd assumed the other one had gone upstairs, but then the door opened and she came in and joined us.

It was a hell of a night and it was obvious the two sisters had done this sort of thing before because they sure weren't backward in coming forward with each other. They even had toys!! It was my first introduction to lesbian sex and menage a trois at the same time.

I was evicted shortly after daybreak when the kids started to wake up and had to walk for miles in the 'burbs before I finally found a taxi.

It kind of sealed my future fate because ever since I've contrived to reconstruct the situation with others and been successful on many an occasion. You'd be surprised how many women have secret bisexual tendencies and just need a little nudge to be convinced to put them into practice.

Never managed to repeat the experience with actual sisters though. Closest I ever got was cousins. But I can honestly say that no other experience has ever compared to that first introduction from those two Auckland girls.

Never saw them again as we didn't exchange phone numbers. On a later visit to Auckland I even tried to find the house but didn't have any success.

In hindsight (and as others have said), never seeing them again has probably kept the memory that much more vivid.

I met two sisters working together in a bar in BKK. I often kick myself for not taking them home. I also met a mother and daughter working together in a bar, but thought that would be too gross.

My best sexual experience surely was in Thailand, just can't remember where, when, and with whom, unfortunately. It's also difficult to choose, lol.

Shame on the justice system.

Shame on the girl's parents.

Shame on the guy.

I have witnessed so many times recently that the girl's age (freshness or percieved virginity) is the major (if not only) consideration when choosing a mate. I am starting to realize how warped it is....so many cases...it seems to be the general attitude..or at least pretty widespread.

At my school, an M6 boy got a slap on the wrists and a mild talking to for having sex with an M2 girl. Ridiculous.

If it's true that the Finnish man left and returned with a knife all bets are off. I'd rather be shot than stabbed. A knife cuts a wide swath with a good change of hitting a vital artery or organ.

If that's true about the knife I don't blame the Brits and as reported Thais for stopping the guy. The more the better.

"The witnesses said both Thais and foreigners stepped in to stop the brawl."

It just shows that ANY nationality can gang up on others and its not an exclusive Thai thing like some foreigners like to believe.

Did you miss the part about the Finnish guy coming back to the bar with a knife?

He shouldn't have came back after the quarrel (with a knife), simple as that.

If you look for a fight with a knife you deserve a beating from as many people are available.

Don't say anything to him - that will only give him a chance to be more careful - and he won't learn a valuable lesson.

Let is play out and see what else he says, if anything. Once ou have more evidence (not just 2 incidents), go to talk to the highest peron possible at the school and demand he is removed.

And yes, of course, try to find out if it is just your daughter or others too. Either way its not good for him. Either he is too friendly with all the teenage girls, or he is targeting one.

And I also agree with what others have said about this culture being preoccupied with the youthfulness of females (to put it mildy) and I could give numerous examples, but as it may be considered a bit too offtopic, I won't. This thread was not itnended to be about that - I think the OP hadn't considered it- but some members see it from this angle and they may be correct.

Navigate these waters carefully.

Come one guys. It's a bit late to compain now. The place has been a dump for many years - it might actually look better when it's finished.

Yesterday morning, my GF cooked a dish for breakfast I am not too fond of and to make things worse she put lots of sugar in it. I decided I didn't want to eat it and went down to her mum's house to get some proper food.

Upon my arrival, I joked with her that we don't have any food in our house and she gave me some grub to take away.

Later, we all went to visit. And the conversation went like this:

Mum: You don't have any food in your house?

GF: Yes, I do!

Mum: Why didn't you cook him breakfast?

GF: I did, I cooked.......but he doesn't like it!

Mum: You have to cook him food that he likes!!!!!!!!

GF: Ergghhhhhhhh

Mum: You have to take care of him better!

GF: Oiiiiiyyy

Mum: Hahahaha

Me: Hahahaha

It was rather amusing. Maybe her mum is just old school, but I think she respects me a little more than a dog, but maybe less than a buffalo. Do you know how much those things are worth?

But aside from that. You are probably a grumpy auld fart. Standing there, all hostile, waiting to be respected. No wonder they felt uncomfortable.

Try to ditch the hurt foreigner syndrome and you might see things a little different. Sure, there is racial discrimination here - but it ain't as bad as you think.

22. Backpacker.

Some things are just Thai.

The Chilean one I am drinking is also Thai

Amazing Thailand.

Probably a little.

Well, maybe you should try being a leader before you put him down. And you should research what it means to be a leader too.

What's a pleasure boat?
