There was no tone in his post. There is only bitterness in your post because you choose to live an illusion in Thailand that you know it's not realistic. Yesterday I saw a lot of older graceful men around Emporium with their older and equally graceful (and most likely well off Thai partners). They seemed quite content with their life unlike whiny old men in this forum who think the youth owes them something. 

 

Pathetic.

 

Bitterness or not, his comment is not that far from reality. 

To end your comment with the words...pathetic, is pathetic.

The country is not in decline, its changing sure and maturing, maybe, but the changes I have seen, coming here for 40 years, is all  good and positive.   I now live here and I find it much more stress free than the UK. If drink and girls are the only criteria that some use for judging a country and its attractions, then they  are a very poor measure and the person is doomed to disappointment as they age. . 

Girls are very important to measure this country. You sound a tat hypocritical IMHO.

Dont become another statistic. Own yourself.

I truly cannot see what morality has to do with a nannystate. Please enlighten me.

Thanks !

Catman I have lived the words that come out of your mouth and it was miserable and a waste of time. All knowing you are and I respectfully hope to never ever return to your world or be anything like you. But enjoy your control and telling everyone else what is right and what is wrong and generalizing the world. Comfortable you are in your very small world where you know it all. Peace 

Reading your comment i can only conclude you live still in a small world. Peace.

it the same the world over so i don't know why you farang think this is only a thai thing.  Do you think any of the young beautiful women in the US with rich media moguls and tycoons would be there if they didn't have money.

60yr old bangs her everyday because he want it and he gives her the house and car and helps the mama & papa.

And...the brother, sister, grandpa, grandmom, cousins etc...do not forget them.

Oh yeah the neighbourhood straydogs as well

Couldn't agree more. After all most of us still base our set of morals on what Governments and Religious organisations have taught us and we all know their level of morality!

I have a mind of my one. It seems though that confronting thais, many expats too, about the ethical right and wrongs of this beautiful land is often responded by the words; you think too much ! The point(s) i try to get across to make this country a better, more compassionate and righteouss place is hardly appreciated by above mentioned people. Its costing me entertaining sex with lovely, beautiful women who i meet on the road. My lips are sealed from now on. Every time i feel the urge coming of a somewhat serious conversation, i pinch myself and smile. After a week of trying i already see the positive results of my shallow existence here .

Same same no different mate.

Unless the girl is pregnant he should just stick to F and F.

For me its final now, i need not think too much so staying simple will help me to enjoy the fruits of (love)life alot more overhere. Morals and ethics out of the window and go with the flow. 

My time is up when i hear a thai person, after 6 months, telling me; maj kit maag. 

I hope i can do it !

The OP seems to run into many disasters in his time here. Best he stays single and focusses on raising his own child.

Most girls from essan have no idea about there government, the laws, ignorant about world affairs. Now in Bankok

 

you have well educated women who can hold there own about World Affairs,  the Government, and Laws about Thailand.

 

Essan girls are programed to get your money, build a house, get a truck for dad and then bye, bye. I learned this from 

 

Thai Visa !!!   LBFM !!! figure it out !!!

So the US of A is a big Issaan, i gather from your post.

Pink nipples and blonde pubic hair?

 

Seriously, if one can speak Thai, then there's not a lot you'd miss.  What I don't get is when some farang guys talk of "intelligent conversation."  What the freak is that about?  It's not like TV is a bastion for Rhodes Scholars.  I doubt these guys are talking about astrophysics or the industrial revolution with their buddies over Chang beer.  My last farang GF in the US wasn't interested in the same stuff I was.  Whether it's sports or movies or music, men and women are different the world over.  Of course she knew about US politics, just like a Thai woman would know about Thai politics.  But is that why you marry someone?  Whatever. 

Farang GF .

Indeed, there is a very big chance that an american and a thai have similar knowledge about their countries politics

I don't get this part; argument. The Thai women i've come across do argue...and it's scary argue at times. In the beginning it's soft alligator tears, then real tears (or more convincing ones), finally its frenzied screams.

He must pay well 

Strange that in all my time here i never meet these type of people. Perhaps because of my BS detector facial expressions. But then again, it takes 1 to know 1

LOL.

You have no idea of the relationship between myself and my ex, but you claim I "bought" her. Had you been paying attention, you would know that my marriage failed precisely because I refused to do so.

So, your Thai "family" is wonderful, but whoopy doo, mine wasn't. Not all feathers shine the same.

BTW, my Caucasian hag from hell ex's family were just as revolting as the Thai one so their feathers were indeed tarred with the same brush.

 

Rather than get into personal insult mode with other posters you could have just answered the OP. 

"Refusing to buy a woman", yes thats the way to go. Especially in LOS. A many on here though think its the norm, to buy a woman. This all under the guise of providing security etc etc. In an overwhelming lot of situations for "her" familymembers too. 

Why would a thai woman want a foreigner, because they have alot in common, understand each other easily. Get real, its about money, nothing else. If the ones living in such a situation and are happy with it, good. Do not blame though the ones who warn others about the pitfalls in paradise. Just count your blessings.

What makes you think that newbies will take any more notice of your warnings than for example my postings ,which don't point out any pitfalls but do point out that there are a large amount of good Thai ladies out there.

 

Firstly they would have to read Thai Visa Forum and go threough hundreds of posts by men whining that ALL Thai women are evil and only want farangs fot their money which actually is not true at all.

 

Some Thai women might but not all.

 

There are not many threads on TVF about the good marriages and partnerships simply because people in that kind of a relationship can't be bothered to poast about it as they are too busy enjoying their lives with their Thai families.

 

I can look back ove TVF for 13 or 14 years and about 90% of the posts about Thai women and Thais in general are negative.

 

Two things continually amaze me about Thailand.

 

1   The number of farangs who still come to Thailand, find a Thai lady and get married doesn't seem to have changed much over the years.

 

2   The numbers of farangs who moan and whine about being ripped off by Thai women are fairly constant too. Yet most of them still stay in Thailand, sitting in bars and still moan.

 

If my marriage ever goes tits up, the LAST place in the world I would post about in would be TVF.

So why do you bother to post alot, not really enjoying the live with your family ?

Nope I have high standards and expectation of myself, though do accept improvisation may well be required at times 

Otherwise I just try to carry realistic expectations of others, who maybe find themselves in a situation where ethics, sincerity, and loyalty is not delivering food to the table.

 

Okay, so you are suggesting that poverty is a valibable excuse for a person to lie, cheat and steal. Fair enough

I guess for instance if 'Jack' uses his wife as a servant, when the pay stops she will look for other employment.

I guess 'jack' ensuring he can care for his wife both emotionally and financially would certainly improve his chances of the relationship having a future.

I guess if 'Jack' is already half way down the road enjoying beer every day it may not be too difficult for his wife to leave him there permanently.

I guess if 'Jack' cannot provide the security of a home for his wife she may well look for one who can.

 

Ever heard the phrase 'When poverty comes through the door, love goes out of the window' a saying often quoted in my home village in the Uk.

 

So be irritated all you wish, because in my opinion you are trying to label people ATMs' for meeting the basic requirement of being a good supportive husband and managing expectation.

I suppose that the people from your UK village must still be living in the stone age. Jeeezzz you truly write alot of crap. Ethics, sincerity and loyalty must be an alien concept for you.

"If he can care for his wife emotionally". Woooowww, can you please elaborate a little more on that. Between Thai and foreign relationships ofcourse. Thank you very big !
