Self-righteous judgement. I wonder why the need to bring a great artist down? Self-esteem issues?

  • Sadly this is the price they pay for the almost complete lack of knowledge of the world beyond Thailand.    

  • And that attitude to life sums up most Thai girls - and boys 

  • What?  No maids?  No cooks?  No one to clean up after you?  OMG, what's the world coming to???

probably the same kind of mental disorder that would join a forum to complain that the other posters were not his kind of "fuddy duddy"

Even paedophilia is not the issue here.

how so?

I know some Thai girls in Australia through my wife.  They take care of themselves. They work hard  because wages are much higher here than in Thailand so they can save as much as a $1000 a month. if they are here for a year and they save hard. They can take home around 500,000 baht.  The trouble is  guys marry Bar girls  or  lazy arse girls who spend their time on the internet looking for husbands. They go to their husbands country they don't  want to contribute.

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! 

Apparently there are also a raft of posters remaining who throw slurs at the successful, content, happy with their lot,  older members. Would that be to make their own situation feel better?

Oktoberfest..

Personally all i see is a young woman who has realized the suppprt structure she had all her life is gone. 

 

But then few here would have actually clicked through to the video, nor understood it even if they had.

 

Its cuture shock pure and simple, and i reckon she does not whinge any more than most of the sad sacks on here do daily.

Never even realised that, I've got every adblocker known to man installed

 

Prevents the epileptic fits from them flashing radio adverts with the world famous DJ people

Yeah, or you are just another thai visa poster who comments knowledgeably on the thai visa sound byte, rather than clicking through to the original story.

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.

FOI, My Wife and I mainly eat Thai Food, purchased from Tesco, not the Market where the Meat is covered in Flies, she does not eat the Rats, Raw Pork, or any Raw Meat, not the Fish caught in the Canals, all Toxic and she has done this for a long time, long before I met her. Her Father died at 52, Stomach Cancer, her Mother 62, she had Lung failure, Cooking on open fires most likely, mot of her relations are gone, we are in a Village of about 1500, their is no man over 62 right now, and this is typical of most Issan Villages.
