Muzarella Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If this is a serious program, with Thai and Farang therapists working together, may be very useful and appropiated. Many Thai-Farang marriages and relationships of every kind are failing for the differences in culture and understandings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextStationBangkok Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 1. Care sick buffaloes first, then your wife is completely fine. 2. Don't care your ATM card is must, then no one will care you. 3. Not only wife, 20 around you is important when you pay for restaurant bill. Make sure you go with suitcase full of money. 4. Keep enough daily allowances for your breakfast/lunch/dinner except beer for yourself. You pay before you eat. Course is over....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Deerhunter Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 2 hours ago, CelticBhoy said: "a pilot learning center set up by government social development ministries" Those old guys in the photo will never be Top Guns, surely? ? Don't be mean. There is always Sidegra to make anyone a top gun. You included when you get to that age. 555 Seriously a lot of predictable humorous???? Thai bashing responses. I am slightly cynical too but give it a chance! They seem to be trying to do something and it may help some couples in need of help. This "being married to a Thai" is not all that easy for some folk's circumstances and relationships with in-laws etc. Well, not as easy as being a rich?? retired playboy type as we may assume some of these responders may be. Or perhaps just annual Thai visitors sitting safely in Manchester or Illinois. Don't shout at me. I don't know which of you are which but I think most guys married here would think that the intention deserves some support and encouragement.

mstevens Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If the photos in that article are anything to go by perhaps they should suggest the woman aims for a guy a little closer to her own age (unless of course she wants him to die decades before she does).

connda Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 2 hours ago, webfact said: The first training center to advise and help Thai wives with farang husbands So, my question immediately becomes: "Who are the supposed 'subject matter experts' who will be teaching this and what sort of credentials do they have?" The article is top-heavy with words such as "scam", "abuse", "trafficked", "prostitution", scam, problems, scam.....which implicitly is saying: "Beware!!!" What is really being discussed? "Watch out for bad farangs! You've been warned?" Then the article goes on to say that "various women overseas have reported being abused or at risk: 7,457 in Asia, 495 in Europe, 210 in North America, 172 in Oceania, 58 in Africa and 12 in South America." Hummm ? Strictly speaking 'farangs' only comprise those 495 in Europe and 210 in North America. The rest are Asian or African - therefore actual 'farangs' only comprise 9% of these 'at risk' scenerios. Thank you Khon Kan from protecting your daughters from us evil farang. What's the purpose of this educational seminar? Looks like a smear campaign geared to frighten Thai women married to foreigners, but we'll just refer to all the potential 'abusers' as Farang! If this road show comes to our neck of the woods we'll make sure to miss it. For all the good that we do for our families and communities here in Thailand, we are consistently assailed as always being potentially bad, bad men just one step away from committing a crime. But their own stats show that abuse is magnitudes more likely to occur in an Asian-Thai relationship. Perhaps they should rename their seminar: Asean Marriage Training Clinic - How not to be abused by your Asian partner. It would be a better fit. And it would get away from farang-bashing. I find the premise that this clinic to be based on as offensive toward farang, which it's probably meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 “Families that encourage their daughters to marry foreigners hope their family’s status will improve,” Leartpanya said. “But many women are scammed; they don’t get the comfortable life they hoped for. Some are abused, prostituted or trafficked.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenchair Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Oh that's just rad coming from them. ? Thai women, scammed, cheated and abused. What about all the foreigner scammed into buying them houses, scammed into 50 percent shares in a company they put nothing into, only to divorce and get half back. And abused, well, just how many foreigners have fallen off balconies lately. Top of the list would have to be the problems these poor innocents face when confronted by angry husbands because they can't be faithful. Do thai spouses even understand that word ? Faithful. ? not sure there's even a Thai translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Thai Grandmas don't look none too attractive either. But still so long as they understand their job is to scrub floors, do the washing and ironing and understand what it means to keep a house clean to Farang standards, who cares ?
