Yep, had the same experience. It only took me a couple of months to realise that I wasn't very interested in this 'arrangement'

Yeah I read or watched something about it years ago too. Couldn't remember the details but i think if you get it wrong the head comes right off.

One of the last things she said to me was that he (the brother in law) has always been happy to support the whole family. I said, 'That's because he's an idiot.... And I'm not.'

I told her to stop taking advantage of foreigners and pay her own bloody bills. They were expecting me to fill the car up with petrol even though I cycle everywhere. The other question I had for you guys is, has anyone ever heard the expression 'don't worry, farang pay?' because she said that to me one night after a meal her brother in law had just paid for and tons of food got wasted. I said, 'you do realise who you're talking to don't you?'

I was going to bring this up months ago on here. I was telling her that since we'd been together nobody talks to me anymore. When I travel alone, all the tuktuk and taxi and bus drivers and waiters and hotel staff all speak to me and even if they dont speak good English we still manage to have a good chat and a laugh but whenever i was with her, they all claimed to not know any English and I was totally ignored. Gotta be honest, it made my time in Thailand a lot less enjoyable.

Good to know. I get it but it's a bit bloody rude.

I'm hardly simping. I left her.

She did, every time. They both looked at me like I was weird for expecting 500 back from 1000.

This happened to me so often around Chiang Rai that I started noticing it. I asked my missus why and she just laughed. I was standing behind an expat/Thai couple yesterday in a supermarket and the same thing happened to him. So what's it all about? Is there a general 'clean out the farang' agreement across the nation?

I believe the goal with hanging is to fall far enough that your body weight snaps your neck, making it a quick death but if you're trying to hang yourself off a doorknob or some other short drop, it will be more of a strangulation type thing.

It's hilarious that some people are actually debating this. Having just left my wife, I can confirm that Thai women are indeed very difficult to live with and it wouldn't have surprised me much if her family had turned up to kill me.

Did you get everything you wanted from it though? Did all the illegal immigrants stop coming from Europe, as promised?

I added her but that's as far as I got. I've had three similar offers from different agents so I imagine her's would be similar. I've still got time to contact her though but I'm up to my neck in other stuff at the moment

Any other directives or orders you'd like to give me?

You're getting way too deep into this. I suggest you smoke a few bongs and forget all about me.

Didn't say there was. But just for the record, I have no problem with taking advice from stoners. I was talking about my own personal experience. Just like if I'd said I'd fallen out of an airplane and it had hurt and you replied, there is no evidence that it hurt you. That's just the way the internet is.

He could probably get on a dinghy in France without his passport, pretend he doesn't speak English and get put up in a 5 star hotel for years, all expenses paid. 'Job's a good un' as they say

Not really. You gave me a mental health evaluation over the internet and with a name like stoner, I think I'll choose to ignore your diagnosis. Thanks all the same.

Please excuse my ignorance. I thought this was a forum for communicating.

You seem quite determined for your theory to be true... so, not much I can do about that ????

as I said, fine by me

I have just married a Thai lady but only in a traditional sense and to be honest, that's good enough for me. I thought the amount needed in the bank was higher if you were married. Must have got that mixed up.

What does this mean in layman's terms?

Care to elaborate?

ah ok, already chatting with them. they quoted me 36k
