Doesn't address my point.

Even if it was right in front of you, you would not see it.

You get my point now young man ?

No, I don't. I could have used Australia or the UK as an example instead of the US. There are many ignorant, uninformed people wherever you go.

No, you could not. I agree though with your last sentence.

My wife left her school in rural Laos when she was 14, so I'm not surprised she failed the test. She knows who Donald Trump is though.

Lack of education is not similar to lack of interest.

Where did you find yours, you must have up all night looking for that one, but all credit to you, it probably describes your personality.

With you, I laugh.

I would concentrate more on the posts merit and substance rather than a meaningless avatar, and then you may find you have something useful to contribute! 

 

 

Nah, not in your case. You must have made an effort to pick an avatar. That you chose this one, quite telling.

I mean really? If you want intelligent conversation you go and talk to other falangs,as long as your wife knows where your dick is and can service it,clean the house and cook what more do you want,all they ever talk about is food and money,and who's shagging who anyway.

But not for the majority of posters on here. Their wives/gf's belong to the intellectual part of thai society.

He is suggesting that the Thai education system is somewhat lacking. I'm pointing out that it's no different in America, a country you would expect to have a better education system. I thought my point was pretty obvious, but I guess some people need it spelled out.

Expect to have a better education system, you wrote. A nation of people who voted for Trump to lead their country, is a failed nation. Thanks most likely to the mindset there and education system. You get my point now young man ?

There is still a very large portion of the world where caring for ones family, especially elderly parents, is very important. It has been this way in all parts of Asia and other countries for thousands of years. We forget this in the west because of large private pensions and social security. In countries where such things do not exist at the same level who else is going to take care of them? I see nothing wrong with it, and if you are going to get involved with a Thai woman you better get used to it. Your marriage will fail if you do not accept this cultural imperative and show some willingness to be helpful to your wife's family. I handle marriage visas for couples from all parts of the world. In Thailand especially its important that the western husband understand how important this cultural obligation is to your spouse. It's not about greed. It's about fulfilling ones role in society. As westerners who view ourselves as more independent and self sufficient, this can be difficult to understand and it's easy in our ignorance to attribute wrongful motives to these ladies. Yes there are gold diggers in Thailand like everywhere else but my experience is that these girls are not the norm when a long term relationship is being contemplated. The upside is that if you as a western man can wrap your arms around this and work with this, she will wrap her arms around you! If not then best you not marry a Thai woman.

Cultural obligation, its about fullfilling ones role in society. You wrote this above. I would call it more, manipulation with the sole aim of losing SELF in order to serve "the family". Regardless wether "the family" deserves it or not. I suggest you look behind the surface and think.

Have you ever seen "Watters World" or Jay Leno asking general knowledge questions to Americans on the street? The level of ignorance of their own country and the world is frightening. In fact, one question asked them to identify the presidents on Mt Rushmore, about 1 in 100 could. They also asked them to point to where Iraq was on a world map, again, maybe 1 in 100. BTW, some of the people asked were on university campuses.

Where did he state that the big US of A is different than Thailand ?

I'm certainly not being ignorant, my wife would know the answers to most, if not all of the qustions, if you want to turn this into  Thai bashing thread 'up to you' but count me out!

I do not like exclusion. Certainly not somebody with such a peaceful profilephoto as you have.

I really think the problem is your wife, rather than the Thai education system, no offence.

You being ignorant, must be a bliss.

There is a huge difference between a -kind of- normal person trying to communicate ideas  through a forum and a 

hater.The normal person is not looking for replies as, he -she- understands that,acceptance and differance is a given,

undeniable right not only for humans ,but for all live beeings.A hater posts in order to receive agreed hatred posts

and thus,justify his hatred.

Woooowwww, you should join the Thai national Thinktank. They surely can use an enlightened spirit like your dearself.

What you see here is,in a sense,the difference between right and left brain thinking.

 

For centuries the Western world has extolled some version of rational left brain thinking (often honoured in the breach) whereas the Thai have gone the other way.

 

Thusly amulets can and do replace any form of "risk assessment" and "Laws"-often created to appease the West-can be rightfully (in the minds of the Thai) ignored as they do not seem to comprehend the fundamental thought processes that created them in the first place.

 

Managing risk ,on any level,in any endeavour,appears to be extremely problematical.

 

Sanook..sanook..sabai..sabai.

Add to that the lack of morals and ethics here, what does one see then ?

The problem is due to a Thai social attribute ,namely the complete disregard of all others

Disregard and unknowledgeable can be quite close together.

Great reply, i shall look for you in the future Oscar presentations. Lets hope that you have learned more by then.

Nah, your desire to be noted  on this forum is best served if I, and others ofcourse, do not respond in a conflicting manner to your comments.

Why? because a country whose history includes transsexual people? This is their culture, not yours. This is their history, not yours. Did you know that the Japanese Kabuki were originally all men? Did you know that the original Geisha girls were all men.? Read it and learn. It also has its roots in Shakespeare's England.When he was writing plays, women were not allowed to act on the stage. Their parts were all played by men.Women, especially in Asia, because of their low class status, were not allowed to enter into the public role. Go back to Siam long ago, in the 16th/17th centuries. There were no news papers, televisions, radios, or any other way (except by horse) to carry news. When a king of one province went to visit a king of another province, he took his entertainment with him. This included singers, dancers, magicians etc.The most feminine of the boys, would have been trained in dance and instrument playing. Quite often a king would find one of the dancers, that he had shown an interest in, would be left behind as a gift from the departing king to cement a relationship between the two provinces. You need to learn about of that which you condemn. Its rather interesting.

It looks like many are underestimating the slow, but definite, change in mindset of thais towards foreigners. On the complete level from the present pm to the streetvendor. Keep your freedom here and ONLY rent.

Nice to read that some stated, the easy availability of women. Cheaper than in many other countries.

I Am trying, so hard, not to lead it down any further.

By solely reading some topics on this forum I admire your goal. However, as Thailand is a lost cause,  that applies to many forummembers as well. Only they dont see it themselves. Better spent your time helping orphans. The reward will be much higher.

This forum is spiralling downwards. Fast.
