Ok, I will put my more than 24 years living and also working 13 of these against your 6 years. And, no problem, I have heard such silly references before. It has happened a few times, and after that became all from a joke to a silly threat. So, be my guest and live in fear of your Chinese wife, the scissors and the duck family in the garden. Please, don´t tell me you made a pond for them as well. ????
My god, 6 years in Thailand, and Mr know it all. That´s wonderful! Right now, I am laughing my ar5e off. After that, It sounds like you let yourself have a lot of fun. Hard held by the wife, as you have made totally clear. On the other hand, it´s better that you respect her, than do like many post here acting like pure losers and a55-H´s.
It´s very hard to be forced to pay child support in Thailand, as they not really have any clear laws for that, so it´s very seldom a person gets ordered by the court to pay child support. Even harder to be ordered that as a foreigner. I assume many of them also got fooled by their former spouses to pay or they would get to pay even more if taken to court. They should have gone to court, and then pay smaller or sometimes nothing.
The last thing you post, is very strange. You say that you know that very few married westerners. First one big reason is that westerners are stupid by nature, and most actually find their spouse in the bar. Tragic, actually. After that, it´s not at all strange that very few marry westerners. Look at it this way. There are maybe 150 000 - 200-000 westerners living and/or working in Thailand. There are approx. 70 million Thais. Even if all those got married to a Thai woman, it would still look like a drop in the big ocean.
