No, it does not Is the only answer I can give to the OP.

Just depends on the day in anyones life. Some days. when the stars and planets allign it can be wonderful, live for those moments. Or not.

Do Thais (especially the Issan variants) say I love you (in Thai/Lao of course) to each other? Does it carry the same weight? 

If they're from Issan they love money, not you. ????

 

Half-kidding, but generally that has been my experience. I'm sure there are exceptions.. probably...

it means pretty much the same, the meaning is:   give me your password for your ATM

I give you easy answer. Log onto any chat site and see profiles with looking for love, forever love, love never die and all the similar crap , then contact her and ask her out for drink or dinner and response would be “ how much you give me”

 

that should give you an indication of what love means to a local .

 

no doubt , pensioners with wife’s half their age would be quoting me and frothing how theirs is different and they met their lawyer on line 

Have you been looking in my window?? I met my gf on ThaiCupid, while she was employed at a law firm in Samut Prakan 5555. Wow

Alas she’s not half my age, 24/41 ????

while on topic, is there an equivalent to hanky panky  in thai ?

Lub and marriage go together like money and a carriage????  

Many Thai women said to me Lub you very much .... what your name again 5555

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AS a juicy click-bait for the cynics on TV, this thread is doing well.

I don't particularly care, as long as I get what I want. She probably feels the same way.

Mine costs a lot less than my 3 Farang wives.  What's love got to do with it? You didn't know Tina was Thai did you?

I love playing golf, I love the shirt I am wearing, I love a cold beer on a hot day. No different when I am in Thailand or Canada.

I was under the impression hot days in Canada are fairly rare.

They lie 

For Asians in general, they have no concept of the kind of "love" that westerners put into the word, with some rare exceptions. Marriage and staying together is more of a natural thing of convenience when two people come to know each other more and more intimately.

In that way, Asians are more realistic and have no silly expectations like westerners have.

Me Love all of you very long time...just keep the cash coming....$$$$$$$$$$$

Thai or non-Thai....all are same same.....$$$
