My Thai wife and I treat each other very well. She has taught me well about Thai style. It is all good.

Same for myself. I didn't tell people about my relationship with Thai wife. Some people still don't know. I had a couple of marriages and didn't or don't want people including family to know until all is solid.

These events are bad but nothing compared to the amount of people killed by drunk drivers. Not even close.

Ask her why?

Moneygram from the U.S. Is only $5 a transaction and takes minutes from send to pickup. Money gram has only charged us 1 baht per dollar. Not bad for the cost of business.

Lets see that will be 100baht for $100 or 1000baht for $1000 and so on. That is not cheap when I can do a ach transfer from my us bank to Bangkok bank for around $13 no matter how much I send.

I agree. I was contrasting WU vs Moneygram.

We sometimes send money to family for now. We use MoneyGram but are transitioning to a bank ACH method.

Main point, just don't use WU. If you need a quick transfer, Moneygram is pretty good.

What are bank rates for exchange?

Wife took my name in USA as stated on green card. Had hassles with airlines leaving the states and traveling to

Thailand because her name on passport does not match the tickets we purchased. Luckily she learned through her Thai girls network to bring a copy marriage license and certificate. Still a pain until she gets citizenship. Suppose ticket could have been what was on her passport,,,

True. Don't know anymore. I work in a company that is 95% engineers in our organize and I see a lot of tattoos and Mohawks. More tats tho.

Not fond of tats myself.

From Seattle area so chock full of Asians with non Asians. And no one seems to know the difference.

My Thai wife and I went to an information desk at Vancouver airport. Two Asian girls there. One eyeballed and evaluated and categorized my wife to some standard.

Wife is average tanned. Average body maybe a little curvy. Glasses. Nerdy looking sort of.

So wondering what this girl had in her mind with critical eye.

Women are often worse then men in this regard.

This is also so true. We live in Thailand now but when we were in Australia, my missus would get so excited if she saw another Thai lady at the supermarket. Often she'd smile and say hello and the other would be judging if she was above her or not. Some would simply turn away. I guess that happens here too with Thai class being so important. She always thought it was because she was dark

yes true. I think these girls at the information desk were Chinese Canadian so whitish looking. Don't what to read into it too much.

Sadly many good looking successful American guys feel they have struck gold my finding girls 15 to 20 years younger than them who have tattoos and are former bar girls. Not sure why these guys took first bite or turned down a great girl who had a kid. Anyway they seem happy. I just could not marry a slutty acting girl with tattoos.

Couldn't imagine anyone being with/around ANY ethnicity woman slutty (sleazy) + sporting tattoos......

But every/thing-one seeks it's own level and there is no patent on happiness.....What some have found we may never understand & and we don't possess the right or priviledge to openly question......

There is a certain amount of ignoring looking the other way. Their actions may not seem as egregious as other Thai people perceive or view. We are all here giving our perceptions of events in our lives to describe others lives for others to interpret.

My previous life was among Koreans who are extremely prudish and very conservative. So who am I to evaluate and judge. I try as best as I can.

It is a bad thing when it makes it uncomfortable to see your mates. Not such a big deal now as I'm. In Thailand, they're all back home

point. And question. Some of us have always felt like pariahs.

By the way Filipino women are crazy catholic. Prefer Buddhist. Condoms are a sin despite massive impoverishment. Don't get me started on crime in so called Christian counties. Lol.

Yes it is uncomfortable to see these girls all together. Wife had a good friend from Thailand not a part of that crowd. Some older Thai women at temple don't seem to be a part of that group. They do stand out easily and they don't know it.

If you've had traumatic relationship makes sense to rent. I own past was a bit of a mess but thankfully passed the trials and transformed due to wife here. Still can't believe and thank Buddha or whoever or whatever.

We all have different roads to travel in life. Makes life interesting. Chok dee.

Women seem very jealous of other women. Hence my wife and daughters. We men may never understand. Apologies to women on this forum.

Kenny202 their skin is not brown for nothing.

Just kidding. Sounds like insane jealousy.

Men are jealous of me having a Thai wife and they haven't seen what a battle axe she is. Just kidding.

My Thai wife was clean when I met her but the more we are together the "dirtier" she gets. After 4 years she's been talking to be naughty about taking a shower together.

Personally after 4 trips to Thailand have never been In a

Thai bar. People back home laugh when I say I visit temples. They laughed this time when I said I was going to

Thailand with my wife. They didn't know she was Thai.

Moneygram from the U.S. Is only $5 a transaction and takes minutes from send to pickup. Money gram has only charged us 1 baht per dollar. Not bad for the cost of business.

Met wife online 4 years ago and never had a chance to check out bars or pay for sex. We don't live in Thailand now, but we are here now for a vacation.

Not much for online shopping. I like to squeeze the fruit before I buy.

Why buy if you can get a free squeeze?

Definitely. Lucky and nearly back to normal 24 hours later. Mistake to buy from roadside stand that doesn't have a ton of business. Don't know.

Part of the problem can be that we never eat out.

We are in the United States.

Moneygram is cheap and fast.
