After all the time of her getting pregnant and immigrating to Germany? and she still feels this way I would have to give the husband a lot of blame too. Why? for not having a simple conversation that leaving and living in another country and culture isn't so easy. Obviously from beginning to end she has brought into the thinking if you want a better life marry a farang. What isn't explain if she does believe is we are no different than anyone else. There are people who are rich, people in the middle and people that are just getting by getting by still allows a individual to buy a ticket to Thailand have a holiday etc.. Some how I assume this conversation never happen or she just though the guy was joking? You hit the nail right on the head! Thai women, and they may be mislead by the farang, do not seem to realize farangs are rich, middle class and poor. They want to believe they are marrying the rich. They want to believe they are all rich. Is it an oversight on their desire to escape poverty, or are they simply victims because the farang never made her understand exactly what financial class he lived in?

Popular Post dunroaming Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2018 Well I am married to a Thai woman and we left Thailand (after nine years together) and moved to the UK. She worked from the moment we arrived because she wanted to and I wasn't going to argue. She earns her own money and does send money to her family for birthdays etc. She did find it quite difficult to adjust initially and although she could speak and understand English perfectly well she couldn't read or write it. So she set about learning. Every year she returns to visit her family for a month or two but says that she has now become "too" westernised. This is not only according to her family but also herself. Thai soaps have been replaced by BBC dramas! I would say that she is the exception rather than the rule, after all people are all different and that includes Thais too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 A nonsensical OP article that threw red meat in the water with the inevitable feeding frenzy. We split our time between the US and Thailand. While in the US we socialize with a number of other American/Thai families, In all of them the Thai wife works, one is a hairdresser, another one is a nail tech, and a third works at a veterinary clinic,All of them contribute to the family, some more than the husband. None of them expects a maid or the crap mentioned in the article.. All the Thai women we know here are a credit to their family. In our course of involvement in the Thai community we had to help rescue several Thai girls that were brought here only to find out that her husband was a total piece of abusive sh#& , one of them a lovely girl that was a Nurse in Thailand with a good living that gave it up to follow an A-Hole to Alabama where he would could not hold a job, gave her litle money, and would not help her get her drivers licence, so she can go out and work , We helped her get a room at a friend's house, get a nail tech licence and drivers licence as is now working and putting her life together. While there are a lot of good guys with Thai wifes out there, (i've met many of them) there are also many that ........ Well I said enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(near native english) "want fast and easy" pertains to much of society albeit not everyone and it is a cultural thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that about 2 years ago an honest Thai woman said the same things about her life in Germany with the usual ballyhoo from ThaiVisa posters. Once again 5 stars for honesty. Clash of cultures my posterior. She was expecting the streets to be paved with gold and, no doubt, her farang did not tell her any different.

smotherb Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 A rather worn-out but still tolerable-looking dragon of the night liked young farangs; she married a young German and went back with him all smiles and expectations. She returned within six months. It seems she had to work to help make ends meet and the only work she could find was a waitress in a bar. So, she returned to her old game, was arrested and deported.

Very few people get past 60 In Issan, because of the crap they eat and drink. The Isaan specialist? My relatives must make something completely different then. The only ones who die with 60 are Lao Khao drinking citizens, or those who die of a stroke, etc. Mother and father in law are both 70 and their parents lived a long life. Where do you get your statistic from? Obviously not from people you're writing about. BTW, silk worms and other stuff is extremely healthy and not eating junk food does help a lot. Enjoy your burgers. P.S. If you make your wife eat things she doesn't really like is another story. Edited February 3, 2018 by jenny2017 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollrunna Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 aww come on... but who has told this lady that there are maids etc... is there a thai word for maid... If this is genuine then this lady has too much of a nonsense understanding of her Atm dream, probably watching old english soaps ?.. Most of the Issan ladies that i have met are hard working and expect to clean their house because its what they want.. Mothers usually become obsessive with protection of their new young.... this is a spoof .. Would Farangs who have backgrounds of servants bring their "thai wife " back home , or be allowed to.... reality check for all and readers..

Wonder how many maids she had in Isaanland? None. Only the ones from Chinese parents, beside the rich Thai upper class have the luxury to have a couple of Laotian, or Burmese maids. These girls can be extremely annoying and abusive the way how they treat their servants. But they'd never go to Farangland if he doesn't have a nice castle for the little princess. And the parents wouldn't let her. Perhaps the poor one was a maid before and thought that the German prince would give her a wake up kiss....

xavierr Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 My wife liked to go to the countryside in Spain and pick up different plants. She very soon figured out which ones are edible such as wild asparagus, borage, bladder campion, fennel. She made dishes using the unfamiliar leaves and they came out very good. One has to accept that looking at a new, unfamiliar environment through one's own cultural prism is not something to be mocked or made fun about.
