Maybe the gal is in shock of how frugal one must be when living in reality, not with a farang throwing money around in Thailand; its so easy to do. That is 100% your friend being a fool and a weak male. Too many of them here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephant45 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 BKK6060; yes you are very correct about that, but it seems common place here. Or there now as I left a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellohello123 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) It's surprisingly how cunning and calculative these girls are yet they don't even check or verify how rich their white man is before picking the biggest loser out of the group Complacency or stupidity?

MrY Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 3 hours ago, jonclark said: The fact she has called the place she is living 'Farangland' shows the mentality of this lady - she doesn't even know where she is living. Its like me calling Thailand 'Asialand'- seriously i'd be locked up for being so dumb. The fact?! She did not use the word Farangland. Or say any of those other things in the OP for that matter. The video is completely in Thai (Isan dialect) and wholly misrepresented. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pick an uneducated girl from the sticks, then you get what you deserve. I'm always amazed at guys who will date these losers here but would never think of dating a similar loser trailer trash girl back home. Its always women that do the choosing, and like attracts like.

I think they really do believe all western men are rich. Telling one you were only a school teacher and got paid school teacher salary just like Thai school teacher does not seem to dissuade them in the least from the delusion that secretly you have large amounts of money squirreled away and a castle to live in and cars and servants.

The headline and the article don't match because of poor editing standards - a problem which exists across the entire news industry these days, sadly. Regardless, the article itself still retains a degree of legitimacy as it's a human interest story that has provoked wide comment, something that it was intended to do. Amid the "foolishness", as you call it (and I agree that there is a lot of dross), there is also a lot of interesting debate on a subject that many want to learn more about. Therefore it can't be denied that the article is serving a useful purpose (once you wade through the dross, of course - ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, she wasn't really complaining about her life in farangland but more of a warning to people back in Thailand that 'may' have the idea of some fantasy life. Did anyone posting any of these negative comments even watch the video? Or just read the poor English translation? There's a video of it?

KiChakayan Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 In my days in Geneva there were many of these girls ending up working in the naughty massage parlors. Really enjoyed my lunch breaks then. But at about 10000 Bahts a piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it may have served some unintended purpose, but the OP was a tabloid distortion of an already distorted piece, so to call it legit is a bit much. Had the OP been accurate, there is plenty of statements I could at least partially agree with. But since there was a link, and there were plenty of posters calling out the OP, it has mostly just demonstrated how little the majority of posters look into a subject before posting. Seems like most just hammer out a reaction with no regard to, or interest in, what other posters may have said about the subject. I don't really expect anyone to read 30 pages of this before posting, but zero curiosity about what others had to say on the subject is a bit surprise...

Thai Visa membership has fallen dramatically(George sure knows when to sell) and sadly, there seems to be only the older retired types who have married Isarn women left. This reflects the stories that are put in the "news" as gets more responses than real news related to Thailand. All these old fuddy duddies like to criticize as it makes their own situation feel better, living in a dirt poor province with a farmer's daughter half their age, but she works hard and is grateful for them being her saviour! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there last July. A big surprise was how much cheaper everything is in the supermarket, many things half the price of what they are in Bangkok. Basically I'm 53, so I have another 14 years before I get a pension. The other thing being, I'm getting out of here whilst I still have money. I could stay here another 2 years or so, but by then the money would have started to run out, and returning to the UK wouldn't be anything like as easy.
