"a traditional Thai wife" What exactly are your expectations?

good question,what exactly is a traditional thai wife,can the OP explain.

"looking for a thai wife"..................not exactly difficult,they'll be queueing up

I really get the feeling that this is revenge for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Well, whatever beef I may have with the Ruskies here and elsewhere, it's a pretty disgusting thing if somebody took revenge by killing a planeload of innocent people who had nothing to do with the Malaysia Air shootdown.

nothing to do with M17.....just payback for russia's attacks in syria.However one could say what goes round comes round in regards to M17

What a sad waste of life. This lady might have kids or dependant family members. Absolutely senseless, barbaric behaviour.

Very difficult to figure out why exactly the male population in this country has such a disproportionately high amount of complete nutters in it. I hope the man gets his just desserts down the line somewhere. Very deserving

I have found thai people to be incredibly jealous.

Well i have a problem with any guy who treats women like this,do thai men have a propensity for this,i dont know,

Rod stewart's voice has matured with age....a great performer who knows how to woo a crowd.Hope he goes on for many more years yet.

Who does n't have a negative attitude towards the USA.But primarily the USA has lost the respect of its adversaries and its friends,and further more its a country that is on a slippery slope internally.....a society that is becoming poorer by the day.

Surely if it was a bomb on board they would have found fragments of said bomb.Cant really believe anybody these days.

Just give the palestinians a proper homeland,give them some hope of a future that they can determine themselves.

Most of them want that "homeland" to include Tel Aviv, etc. and have been brainwashed from babies to think Jews don't have a right to any state in the middle east.

Therein lies the problem.

many arabs live in peace side by side with israelis,in tel aviv...i grant you jerusalem is a different matter because each claim it as their religious birth place

The USA is beyond fixing......................interest rates cannot be raised cos everyone owes too much already.The USA is in debt to the tune of 19 trillion dollars.QE 4 is on its way,you print money to keep the stock market afloat and to pay debt,there's no growth to pay it down.And the only business in town is the financial sector and technologies.In the US people are able to borrow money at zero interest,no deposit to buy 2nd hand cars over 7 years,the loans are packaged as investments with insurance default for 35% of the money owed.And no one says anything like 'this is crazy economics"

So the circus is in its final year,it does n't matter who wins,the people with real power are behind the scenes,unaccountable and pulling the strings.

This too seems a bit harsh...it's hard to know which is worse, the Indian guy who gets life in prison for raping a woman or the woman who is stoned for adultery...both punishments seem inordinate to the crimes committed.

there is a world wide hatred towards women and it has to stop...........unfortunately it seems that "respect" has to be a subject brought in to everyone's education system.And that old but wise saying "love thy neighbour as thyself."

The spirits work in mysterious ways.

Just give the palestinians a proper homeland,give them some hope of a future that they can determine themselves.

excuse me but i am not understanding this topic,but would like to.What is a DE visa? What is METV?...what is your objective "ossieoverseas"

It's interesting how over just a few short years religious extremism is taking hold in so many "hot spots " around the world.

The united nations would dearly love a one world government(them) a one world religion,and a one world financial system.The one world religion would have to be "money" so what would they like to do to all the false religions around the world?................get rid of them i would think.But how to do?

Communist russia banned religion but it survived,even thrived underground.

A backward religion for a backward people.religion loves uneducated ignorant people,in fact they thrive on it.Islam is a typical example.

He should be sent to an inactive post

he's already in an inactive post.

Samui maybe quiet but the roads sure are n't...................more people coming to live here perhaps,would explain the continual villa building.

just your perception in my opinion. It's true that people have more money given that the middle class has more disposable income. But not much of a change in terms of culture in my opinion. What's changed is more the trends, i.e. interest into Korean bands etc.

Do some research, easy enough, people's attitudes have changed all over the world in the last 10 years 5 years and before, especially younger people. The 'entitled / ME generation'.

There are 30 young foreigners (I guess 25 to 30 years old), mostly female, staying in my small BKK hotel, on a training course, 99% have never before been outside of their home country (all western countries).

They have no respect for anybody, they just talk over the top of whatever is going on and are shocked when they don't get instant service or answers. They stand right in the way of other guests trying to carry food from the breakfast buffet and it's obvious to anybody they are blocking the path of others, polite request to other people to pass receive no attention at all.

Perhaps 20 of them arrived in one group and got annoyed when they had to stand in line for check-in. One girl "I don't have to do this at home and I don't give copies of my passport to anybody." Another foreign regular guest tried to explain that the hotel is required by Thai law to have a copy of the passport. New guest rudely responded that it's not required in her home country so the hotel has no right...

They ask ridiculous and demanding questions to the hotel reception staff. One exxample, 'Where can I buy some size xxx dresses New York latest fashion for under US$30?". This is whilst the 2 receptionists are in the process of trying to check-in 20 guests. When the staff respond politely that they don't really know, the response is "why not, can't you do some research?"

One complained the next morning that the coffee is not to her liking and insisted that the hotel send out NOW for Starbucks for her. In reality it's very nice hill tribe coffee blend and certainly not cheap coffee.

It's pretty much the same all over the world

Man, that's pretty bad. And this is the future of western civilization?

well scorecard you are witnessing 30 years of femail rights,the femail nazi's............bolshy young western women who want to be like men...males that have come after the baby boomers have become conditioned to this to.

Although it seems that the OP is just worrying about getting a free ride, i think his perception is right.

Not only Thailand, but the whole world is changing faster and faster, and not only because we are getting older.

People are more self-centered, i mostly blame the abuse of technology, and the bad quality of the food.

I understand about technology making people more self centred,but your comment about bad quality food? making more people self centred.

IKE-president eisenhower-said as he was leaving office, "...beware of the military-industrial complex"..thanks a bunch, general....Currently we can amend that to say, "beware of the government-media-military-corporate complex".....555. The military cannot hack together a coup; the U.S. military is still functioning as a provider of cannon fodder for the Euro bankers wars....suck it up.

Locking up goldman sachs would be a good start,they are evil,greedy conniving b..stards who have infiltrated most western governments for their own greedy aims.

Would you trust Thailand and its people with your retirement savings i sure wouldnt.

I am sorry but I don't understand why people think young women marry us old geezzzzers for love.

Are old men so devoid of reality or is it just imagined pride and self esteem which blinds us.

Everywhere in the world it is only about money when we reach a certain age,

the only difference is some women will wait for us to die instead of defrauding us. In Thailand they don't wait because they know the

police will be on their side for some cash which used to be ours.

Hormones and wishful thinking can lead to a bitch.

LOL

they were together nine years with 3 children,he said he had no inkling.

Look at him, look at her.

Everyone can see what's gonna happen ........ except him.

Question from interviewer, "What would you say to people that want to come here?"

Answer from me, "Don't marry a woman 1/3 your weight and 1/2 your age and expect her to love you or be trustworthy"

This isn't rocket science.

I dont agree.it's a case when enough is never enough.greed perhaps.now she has nothing and doing 4 years.

got very mad, so I shot her. I didn't mean to hurt her,

How can you shoot someone and not mean to hurt them?

...only in Disneyland

It's the same with sexual assault,thai men blame it on the fact that they felt horny and could n't control their urges.They're brought up to believe their women " are just hanging around begging to be assaulted".Blame it on the matriarchal society and weak father's.
