It's mainly about marrying ex-prostitutes. But i leave that to the real Thaivisa pros like you guys. Gullible newbie me won't touch that for now. Smug much? My guess is that some of the responses rang true and hit a nerve. Good luck in your dating adventures anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pravda Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Henrik, here's my advice and like with others it's just my experience from the past. My very first Thai girlfriend was a gal I actually met back home. When we came to Bangkok to meet her (rich) family her father paid for all of us 6 people) in a relatively expensive restaurant. When I was going out with my wife and her friends which were a mix of rich and middle class the bill was always split equally - no exceptions. When I was going with her family I would always pay for it simply because they did so much for us I simply had to. However meeting a family after such a short time is a bit unusual.... You have to ask yourself why is that? A decent Thai woman, no matter how old and ugly won't be in a rush to do this unless she is absolutely certain about her future with you. One worrying aspect is that you seem to have firured out how much each of her family members make? My Chinese girlfriend who dresses like million bucks and drives a nice car unfortunately doesn't make anything close to 100k working for international company (I asked and she honestly answered) Did you also ask or are you imagining numbers in your head? Never assume anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few minutes his wife checks the total cash on the pate and says 'enough' or 'we need 200Baht more' etc., and perhaps says '30Baht each' or something similar to which her husbanb responds with 60Baht (adding 'for 2 people') . If the situation is becoming drawn out the wife takes her husbands wallet and does a final top up. It seems to work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda surprised she wants you to meet her family so soon. Totally agree with mstevens, why on Earth would this Thai woman want to invite a farang she's never met in person to spend all this time with her family during the same week she meets the farang. She is either 1) a nutter; and/or 2) brilliantly freeloading for free stuff with an obviously naive farang controlled by his groin-brain; and/or 3) a devilish practical joker whose Skype account is going to be blocked before naive farang arrives. and/or 4) completely made up by the troll OP. If the OP is not trolling, then he's about to enter the start of a chapter in his life where all money disappears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read all of the pages (seven in total); When we are in Thailand, we must forget what we have learned in our respective countries; here it is always the richest who pays the bill; It also suits me very well, so it is very rare that I pay at the restaurant.
