If you are not legally married, district office and signed marriage certs, judges will not be interested as a divorce is not required. Sin Som Rot rules only apply to those legally married.

There are lots of huge generalisations on this topic. Everyone and every situation is up to the couple getting married. If your wife is sincere to you she will fight your corner. My wife told her parents we would not be having a village wedding. She said to them simply, would you like a party to show off or would you rather we used the money to build a house and be near the family? They accepted her views. We got married legally at the district office, no party, no big deal and no sinsod. Since then, as suggested at the time, we have taken care of a few financial difficulties that Mum and Dad have had but only those beyond their control. My wife has been asked and refused to pay back gambling debts or loan shark payments but has been happy to help through some other sticky situations. This in turn has helped to show Mum and Dad the value of money and how to control spending and bad habit. In return, I have become a part of the family. I have integrated with their culture, not ridiculed their beliefs or superstitions, have accepted that they are not that well educated, turned a blind eye to problems beyond my control and, I believe from what they have told me, become part of the family in their eyes. Just their daughter's husband. Not the farang married to their daughter. Respect is earned. Not given. A flat, arrogant, self self refusal to give sinsod is not the way to go and will be remembered. Talking about how you plan to take care of your new wife and possibly Mum and Dad a few times along the way will also be remembered, but for different reasons.

No. It isn't true. A village wedding has no bearing on law.

So, you would give something to someone?

Reading the article thoroughly, it seems all we get is estimates. Estimates that will differ depending if the author is Leave or Remain. There us no real way to guage the impact if Brexit alone at this stage. Anyone who knows a little about Economics would understand that.

It was a good game. That is it. After the final whistle I changed channels. No emotion and no tears.

I married my wife, doesn't mean I love her mum too.

And specifically asked if they need to see the blood test results. Hence the reference to the syphilis test.

I'm sure your energy could be put to better use. So much wasted on hating one person. Why not just ignore him?

Great article. In true Clarkson style. Of course, most of it should be taken metaphorically but, alas, the wokes took it literally.

Why don't you like Piers? Is it because he says it how he sees it? Doesn't care about what others think of him? Is not afraid to speak out? He beats the hell out of the general "yes sir no sir" presenters.

Unlikely cure. There have been reports published that show pedophilia is a mental issue. Even after castration, the desire and urge is there.

To be honest, I would hate to have to go on so many of these trips. There is a line that needs to be drawn, for the most part, between colleagues and friends. I could not imagine how dull and mundane it would be to be holed up with a bunch of people I have nothing more in common with than working in the same place. Sure, I have made friends, some good mates, at work but generally switch off each day as I walk out the door.

Simple economics. Supply and demand.

My daughter did perfectly well as she subconsciously decided not to be brainwashed by extreme views and teachings as you seem to have been.

I don't think there is any effort in learning a language or learning about a culture. If you are in the environment and see and hear it everyday, it should come naturally.

What is seriously missing in this topic is a conversation about parenting. School is just a small part of learning. Kids need to learn from others too. Let your kids learn from you too. It's not difficult for a kid of mixed race and culture to grow up liking, respecting, understanding and following 2 different cultures. Just like they can grow up bilingual. There are parts of Thai culture that are better than those in a western world and vise versa. Let the kids grow with both and they will soon start to identify with the differences, both good and bad.

I asked a question. If no one answers, especially he to whom the question was directed, surely it is he who is clueless.

Why are you so defensive? I merely pointed something out and made an observation If it really is an issue, just scroll on by. Thanks for confirming how the insults impact on you, BTW. Good day

No. That's why I asked a question.

Insults speak volumes.

So, you're saying he went off topic?

You posts speaks volumes about victims who should have been on high alert. You also speak of other cities where you were a victim. Then you single out London.

In most cities around the world, if you need an under cover cop to tell you that, you are asking for trouble. Sad but true. Many victims of crime only have themselves to blame. Last time I was on public transport I was amazed at how many people had wallets in back trouser pockets, phones in shirt pockets or women with hand bags on the shoulder. Take away the temptation and reduce the risks.

Scotland didn't have a vote.
