You touch a raw nerve to the wrong person and you might end up waking up in an emergency room.

Aren't you in Australia?

Look up the word, restraint, and it's meaning. I'm not sure of your age but asking someone a question like that, which isn't anyone's business at all, shows the lack of restraint associated with a teenager.For one thing, anyone's past is no one's business whatsoever. That's something friends talk about among themselves after they get to know one another enough to trust them and their intentions. For two, asking a stranger that question could get you decked, especially if it's a sore subject and he's drunk. Lastly, what bar were you at that has hundreds of farangs in it? Most bars wouldn't accommodate more than one hundred and maybe up to 250 total, including workers and locals. Been a long time since I've been in a rock bar so they might have grown by now. Asking people you don't know on a forum is one thing, but in person is totally different.

Ok, let me reiterate for you. How many of the 400,000 do you actually know? Of these, how many do you personally know cannot speak 10 words of Thai? Does this figure amount to most farangs?

I think you might be hearing rubber trees dropping nuts, and not fruit trees. Hear them every time I step outside for a part of the year.

Ok, so how many farangs out of the 4 million living here, that you know can't speak more than 10 words in Thai? I've been here over 6 years and only know personally about 40 farangs, mainly because I'm not a bar person and I live in Isaan., and I only know a few that can speak Thai, because I've never asked them if they could or not. I still would never say most of them can't speak Thai, and we're only talking about 40 out of 4 million. That's only 0.001%

You still missed my point, and assume I don't understand polls. These are your words........This is true, most farangs can't speak more than 10 words You don't know but a tiny fraction of one percent of the farangs worldwide. This does not amount to "most" farangs, no matter if there\s a poll taken or not.

It doesn't list the countries but says 7th...............https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2013/04/11/1365696199/

What is the domestic violence rate in Thailand? Physical harm accounted for 22%, followed by suicides at 14%, sexual violence at 8.1%, and other forms of abuse at 3.5%. These findings reveal a troubling inclination towards severe violence within Thai families, a matter that the nation should address with urgency.Oct 5, 2566 BE

Remember how you say I and others are somehow missing your point in some of your posts? Well, you missed my point here.

6 of 1, a half dozen of another.

That's how many people the average 73 year old meets in a lifetime.

I see you, among others that post here, think they know what "most" farangs do. You do realize how many farangs there are in the world right? How many do you really actually know? My guess would be far below what the average do by the time they are 73, which is 80,000. Since you are 50, I would guess maybe 55,000. And meeting them isn't knowing them, at least as far as their foreign language vocabulary. This is out of a population of maybe 4 billion non Asians worldwide. This means those 55,000 are but 0.001375% of that population, but you'll have to subtract most of those because you again, don't know them well enough to know what languages they might speak. So, wouldn't you say that you don't really know what most farangs do?

I have disagreed with you at times, but here you're right on. Having knowledge of other countries is definitely a plus, as you can't really know a people unless you've lived amongst them.

I for one have no jealousy of those that are doing better. That's a goal to reach, nd when you have children, it's mandatory to do the best you can for them. There is always a way out.

Being a step parent is far from a joke. It might be the only male role model these kids will have, and having a father figure is a lot more important that many realize, especially for girls that need to grow up seeing their moms treated well, so they can find the same in a partner. Boys need to learn how to treat women from a good male role model, as their peers are mostly clueless, especially in a country like this with so many absent fathers and children that are raised by grandma. Your last sentence is the first one that actually makes sense.

Thank God for the children that weren't made.

And you don't realize that those "men" who have mi noi's aren't men but boys that haven't grown up enough to recognize the value of a woman? That they have children and don't do much if anything at all as far as teaching them the same values? Brainwashed by treating women right? As in feminism. Do you not understand woman's equality? What's tragic is that you actually believe your own bulls*it. And sadly, some others here do also. As far as Thai males thinking those that take care of children are jokes, it's them that are the real jokes. A man that doesn't lend a hand to help raise his own children is a complete wasted life. A woman cannot make a man out of a boy, and an absent father can't either. One reason so many treat women like they're some kind of inferior object is not having fathers that were men. They leaned it from their own useless fathers and generations here are affected by this illness. Women make the worse mistake of their lives having sex with these losers, and their kids suffer because of it.

I met one online, a doctor, and came here to meet her. She told me to stay in a certain hotel, and guess who worked there? You look at a women that's very pretty, and speaks English also, and sometimes things happen. I should have stayed with the original girl. My mistake, but I created a beautiful child, and she's why I'm still here, until we can leave that is.

And you are? Wait, you don't care either way, as long as you get yours right? I'm what's called an empath, meaning I care, and that gets you in trouble when you put your trust in women that turn out to be narcissists or very damaged in childhood.

Along with the thousands that are still married, and working in restaurants they opened with their husband's help. I know of 7 personally in the San Antonio area who own restaurants that are doing extremely well. I've talked with many, both men and women, and they've told me they will never move back here because of the better living conditions in the US. There are some that might have scammed men into moving there and because prostitutes or just weren't good wives then were dumped, so they had to make do. Hard to tell if you don't actually know people personally, as most don't.

Nothing to do with the little head but trusting the wrong woman. It wasn't a scam. She still lives in the same village but I'm in the house because I paid 100% for it. She wants to come back but I have no interest because when trust is gone, so am I.

Obesity is catching up fast here for exactly that reason, and there are hundreds of thousands of great restaurants with food from all corners of the world there. Another thing you won't know unless you visit, or live there.

I left to build a house for my now ex and our daughter. Being used, along with lied to etc, is why I'll be leaving asap with my daughter. I made a mistake moving here but she didn't want to leave her family, most of whom she can't stand.

Better life, more opportunities, better pay, more things to do, treated better by men, not looked at as inferior. I never contradict myself.
