  • 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???

Am I missing something? 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?

No they only have them in Thai temples :sleep:

Okay...but would you really want to marry the debris and detritus from the the Australian working class-lazy,drunken,obese bogans to a man.

 

Try the western suburbs of Sydney as a template for sophisticated,sensitive,intellectual behaviour...

 

And...yes..I am an Australian.

 

Thank goodness that I have not had sexual congress with the porcine,tattoed and drug and booze addled female of that obnoxious species since the 20th century.

City women have a much better chance of fitting in when moving to the EU or USA etc especially if they have been working in a decent job after a decent education.

A country girl who left school at 14 stands very little chance of settling in and in being accepted socially in many instances. ( Yes exceptions exist. ) 

A country girl who is intelligent and has a sense of adventure will do well, even more so if her expat husband allows her the freedom to do it, many don't and it soon goes wrong.

Being able to communicate in EU or USA is very important for Asians who move there, much more important than it is for expats living here. If they don't have brains or interest to learn it's just not going to work for them.

 

 

She wasn't so much bellyaching as trying to educate people back home about the realities of her day-to-day life abroad. If she plans to keep making U-tube videos, a more professional haircut and colour job might be a good idea. Good luck, sister.

I don't think you will find many drunken girls because halve of Sydney's wester suburbs are Muslims  

Pigs love to waddle in shit. Don’t give them strawberries.

makes me wonder who is more ignorant of the otherr's culture

Manufactured meat on a stick is not real food. And adding cabbage does not make it a meal. Even with lashings of sauce, it's garbage.

I find British and German to be particularly dumb when choosing their Thai partners.

Care to expand on your opinion, and whilst you consider responding may i ask your nationality oh wise one?

hahaha! 
aww didums, the way your thought something was going to turn out didn't as you expect. Read up on your countries religion about the nature of reality, madam

Sounds like you ate too many pies and cannot adapt to real food, all things considered.

Should I tell you the story of a bkk lawyer who gave up that life so she can be a waitress in California...she has opted  to stay in usa over 20 years now b/c her life is a higher quality of living, benefits, higher equality and most importantly a voice with a vote...she has a life with opportunity...

 

sorry but that isaan girl is uneducated which brings a high correlation of ignorance...she has a warp and distorted view of the world outside of thailand...for some, it's better for them never to leave the rice fields b/c the lack of desire and skill to better position themselves and their offspring moving forward...she has no desire to grow and advance as a person....

 

this story rings of xenophobia by the press and media b/c a Thai or any third world product with initiative and drive rarely returns home to live....

No, I'm not. 

 

Not bitter what other farangs have to say about Isaan ladies, 

 

 I just think you pulled Sisaket out of the air or saw that is where i live and thought you could try a drive by insult.  Either way my opinion of you won't change.

"thought you could try a drive by insult". ... as opposed to your rather pungent bar stool trolling?

Give us a break.

Pathetic.

Yes I think they are being a bit hard on her, when she talks on the video it's about someone to look after her child its in relation to her working...I know my daughter in Oz used to lose nearly half her wage (& she is high paid) dropping my pre school grandchild off at a day care centre, so she could work.

Yes sure some of her complaints are superficial, but just reflect on the fact that nearly 70%  of the letters on here contains moans about some ridiculous things from mature adult people who have come to live here, not some young person who has probably just taken her first trip aboard.

 

Actually this subject has a hundred plus configurations.

 

I'm aware of many farang men who can't understand why the Thai wife (living in Thailand) is not a 100% copy of the typical farang wife at home. Trying to explain 'but she doesn't know what a typical farang  wife does', just falls on deaf ears.

 

There's also plenty of farang men who come here, marry a Thai lady, live with her, have children, then the farang is shocked when his Thai wife objects to him bringing other girls home for sex.

 

I rented a large luxury house on Jomtien beach to a US engineer some years back, he had just married a Thai lady who was the office manager of a large western company on the Eastern seaboard, highly intelligent well qualified friendly hard working lady, long hours, and she kept herself looking nice. They had courted for a couple of years.

 

After marriage they moved in then the farang announced that he wanted his marriage to be  copy of the US, partly meaning the wife cleaned the house and did the laundry and ironing and all the cooking, etc.

 

She quickly objected saying that she didn't have the time and they could well afford to have part-time help. She offered to pay a part-time maid 3 hours a day six days a week, finished by noon. Farang said no. 

 

He insisted and in fact expanded what he expected from the lady. Marriage lasted about 60 days.

Rubbish.

 

The cruel tragedy is that the 3rd generation of the unemployed Australian working class is well documented in Australian cultural history.

 

The original "dole bludgers " were dinky-di and remain so.

 

Since returning to Australia I refer to every one I meet as "Your tattoed porcinity" and "Your tattoed and exceedingly ugly porcinity,ma'am."

Sorry Joe Pie, but your comment says it all about your attitude not "most Thai boys & girls"

I work with 24  average Thais who are happy to work very hard & a wife who 

although handicapped puts her shoulder to the wheel.

This Isaan girl complaining like she does is a result of the stupid Farang who did not take 

the time to explain that life is not a bed of roses except for the minority who are very wealthy

Whats the bet he wooed her with all sorts of crazy promises to get her to go overseas

Most of them probably smile thinking it's compliment.

Poor little thing.....!!

She forgot to mention, that if she had to work (Buddha forbid) to help supporting the family, the minimum wage in Germany is 8.84 Euro = 353  baht PER HOUR......

What exactly is she skilled at....ahh yes...she’ll make quite a bit more than that an hour. She’ll probably be paid by the load ;-). Hubby can then act like a Thai husband and sit at home drinking with his mates and dish out some verbal abuse when she arrives home all the while watching the dosh roll in. Then she’ll feel much more at home! Poor thing.

And some idiot German married this trash, take her home for a holiday and leave her there.

 

My wife had a few of the characteristics of this girl.

 

I don’t have a support network 

My Thai qualifications have no value

Restaurants are expensive

Why so many rules like drink driving etc..

 

“We were rich people in Thailand so why do we stay here where we are normal”

 

Anyway I told her to get a job and now she is earning $4000 a month or around 100,000 baht in the pocket.

 

she has never been happier and said there is no way she would go back to Thailand to do a 60 hour week for 30,000 a month.

 

She has just managed to get her head around out Superannuation system (pension) and well as I told her when you move back to Thailand you will be like one of those wealthy Falange.

 

Sounds like this lazy sod just needs a good kick up the ass and told to get a job. She has too much time on her hands.

Finesse is not exactly the first word you will encounter in the Thai dictionary.

It wouldn't be the 1st word in any dictionary that I know of.

She sounds like a lot of the disillusioned falangs who marry Thai partners and settle here.

Everything is not laid on for her all day so she can sleep and eat.
 
She explains in North Eastern dialect as a warning to others:
 
She has to take responsibility for herself.
 
She has to look after her own child.
 
Things are not done for her - there appear to be no maids in Meuang farang ("Farangland")
 
There are no regular handouts of cash and gifts.
 
"What's more - things are expensive - and I mean expensive," she says. "What you can find in the markets of Isaan to eat for five or ten baht costs 100 baht. 
 
"There are none of the things that we can find for free growing in the wild.

 

She listed  what expats appreciate when living in Thailand. Ain't that a shame?

What’s the bet she did all the wooing expecting to be whisked off to the land of milk and honey and business class flights to and fro from home with suitcase of boodle. Never heard a of man having to woo any woman in Thailand, that the reason they flock here in their droves!
