Well, thank the powers that be people are concerned about various things - and lord knows not everyone is a journalist or "English Major" - therefore we have Aseannow. Otherwise, no social media would ever exist!

It said foreigner students studying in Thailand. And the last time I checked, Chinese and Koreans and anybody else not Thai are foreigners. Where is this vagueness you refer to? Perhaps just poor comprehension...

You get nothing until you decide to convert some of those USD to Baht. But then, you probably knew that already. The ignorant are the only ones that don't know the real story...

Are you two still living together?

You need to get that woman away from the family (maybe). I took my wife away from the village...to the US where we resided (among other places) until we returned to live here in Thailand. My wife got jobs and I made it clear that whatever money she earned was hers to do whatever she wanted. She sent some to her family occassionally, but mostly she fed her own wants and saved the rest. Upon our return to Thailand to live, she spent most of her savings and some of mine on building our first house here. Mind you she always worked and now receives a monthly check. I also give her some of mine, but I take care of us and the household, she is free to do whatever she wants with hers. We (meaning me) have never had a problem... Get out of dodge man. If she come with you, she'll love you for it. And she isn't working, then shame on you!

Wait a minute...what's this about giving monthly payments to the wife's parents??? That a bunch of bunk!

Hmmm. Spent the money and didn't tell you. On the other hand, you haven't been monitoring your account. I could become a victim same as you. Thanks for the reminder. I do keep an eye on things at all times - so should we all...
