Lucky you not in Jail. 

As I said they started it after I just pulled them up on their disrespectful behaviour.

Back then I was not one not to say something, now I would up and walk away now.

It was a nice break during Covid not getting some the odd idiot coming to our village. 

Police not interested falangie on falangie with Thai friend witnesses.

These Thai legs go over very easy due to being half their normal weight.  Don't worry, her third leg is full size and when she gets excited she can do pirouettes on it.

 

Or the helicopter maneuver. ????

Disrespectful falangies not liked here.

Even that Thais have a reputation of being relaxed, if not lazy, then this might not be the case here. Farm work in a village can harder work than studying; 30% of the population works with farming, even that farming only counts for 10% of GNP.

 

Of course not all, but probably most girls in the bars and nightlife comes from farming-area villages.

 

A village farm girl may not have long enough school – often not completed high school, if even attended one – to fulfill requirements for University or like level education. Furthermore it's a question of money. Education costs – both fees and living costs – and their family might not be able to support them while studying.

 

Also, numerous village girls get married at young age – could be from age 15, some even younger – often a marriage that don't last, but often includes a child, or more, wherefore they also often ends up with as single mum. Village marriages are not registered – even considered as full marriage in the village – so, easy to end. A single mum will find it even harder to get an education, she is often happy to get a well paid job while parents or grannies takes care of her child/children.

 

Some girls finish high school and start education at a university. If their family cannot support the costs, you might be able to meet some of the in the nightlife of the university cities – for example in some of Bangkok's go-go bars – where they find easy support funds for their studies and living costs; they might even be able to find a regular sugar dad and stop in the bar. I know one that managed to study law that way, she later became a very succesful business lady later. By the way, she told me that she only dated foreigners (read: had foreign customers), not to spoil har later eventual career as a Thai lawyer.

 

You might also meet university students on leave (summer holiday) in the nightlife at holiday destinations, where they are earning money for next term – and they are normally not be interested in marriage, especially not in the cliental you mentioned in the opening post. However, a younger handsome succesful investment bank broker could be of interest; and yes, I do know such a case first hand. He was introduced to me – a Brit working in Hong Kong – and he told me that Western girls were too difficult, so he preferred to find an Asian spouse. The past didn't matter, the future did...????

Lot of of men here would have no compassion or care about what happens in the poor farmer community.

They are not interested in the culture or what poor thai peoples situations are like.

Over my 20 years here I have Punch the lights out of 3 falangies who talk like they do on this forum when they said it to face.

I didn't pay the hospital bill either.

I have the feeling that Mr. @Kwasakithinks this is smart comment but sadly it is plain dumb and is a weak attempt of ignoring the reality. Anyone single,  who had a middle class lifestyle back home, will need that sort of money to keep his standard of living. What is the rent for a good 70/80 sqm condo in Silom? A barely decent bottle of wine costs 700 Baht. The near free good quality healthcare is now an expensive private hospital, and so on.. 

Total naively how sad.

Wish you Goodluck though it's your life.

Thanks well I wouldn't bother now and only handy thing would be not having to go immigration for me especially when it was trips to Maesot.

Sukhothai immigration office 14 kilos away and nice people in and out in 30mins for marriage extension.

They arent selective at all.

 

If you are married and pay tax then as long as you arent a criminal in your home country its basically a forgone conclusion that you will, eventually become a Thai citizen. Bear in mind that the process could take months or even years from start to finish. 

Thanks but I wouldn't bother now just wanted to know the benefit of others doing it, probably better for younger men who want to stay living in Thailand.

Learn what? If you mean Thai, if married you don't need to speak Thai, whereas if not married, you need to pass a Thai tests.

What are the benefits, I have always been under the impression and told it was too difficult to get Thai citizenship and they were selective of of they gave it to.

3 years rather than 12 years then, if not married.

The problem with that I was done with wanting to learn all over again.

Just keeping the money in the bank is easier. ????

I have no intention of throwing my life away by marrying a bar girl. Ladies with regular jobs are enough of a challenge. I have found them just as duplicitous as those in the bar. All of the women I dated had straight jobs. All were very dedicated to getting their hands on my money. Only one never asked me for anything. She ran off with a Thai man. My current live-in lady asks very little and is happy to have a roof over her head.

How do you know you would be throwing your life away what ignorant thing to assume.

We did our homework and understand the rules, but that does not make it fair.

Why should someone living in say Minnesota USA get an uplift but someone living 10 miles across the border in Canada not get it?

Couldn't you get a USA address with a friend in US or is it too difficult and expensive to arrange.

I’m American, but this kind of thing infuriates me. A pension is a gentleman’s agreement between the government and British subjects and should be honoured.

The British gov doesn't care and if it had it's way it would not pay pensions abroad in the future.

At least as far as America is concerned the uk pension is not frozen if you choose to live USA.
