Because of Thailand’s caste system, light skin girls have perceived higher value. Just flip on Thai TV to see the pasty white Chinese/Thai girls on shows and in ads. Expats offer these lower caste girls financial security for their families. That said, there are plenty of wonderful light skin girls in Isaan. You just gotta find the right one Fortunately I don't care about the colour of skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're being a bit unfair to foreign guys. Do you really expect a Brit plumber/brickie not to swear? Do you think the Thai guys and gals don't swear every other word? I hardly see any Thais not wearing flip-flops. Bit of double standards from you IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat68 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not sure about that, majority of Issaan women are totally influenced by money and many have husbands and boyfriends and I am including Nurses and Teachers here. I have been coming to Issaan/lived here for 24 years. I am not bitter, just speaking the truth, I would not change where I live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you out of the opinion that a man is more suitable to have control of the finances? If it´s just that you have not grown out of the way of thinking in the middle ages, just don´t bother. I think you missed the gist of Bkk’s post; the man being the ‘provider’. If both put in and are on an equal footing, then that’s different. Do find guys giving everything and letting their wives also control their finances a little bit strange. It’s that mommy’s boy syndrome isn’t it? These types also typically have to ask if they can go out. F a doodle do! Yep, mommy’s boys, sorry. Hey, but whatever floats yer boat and you’re happy. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Issan women are for a fling, not marriage. It is really hard to find marriage material here, especially Isaan. Most have not been well-raised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Yes, all women and wives are different, big revelation! All women who want to be taken care of are opportunists, wherever they come, whatever their 'class'. I had a hiso wife, I could have been the opportunist, but that lifestyle was not for me. Now I have a nice brown Isaan wife, an opportunist, trust completely, but I'm better managing the money. They key for me was to live no where near her family. My wife, her daughter and I live in Samui, completely different life than Issan. Building a house soon. Her desires are met and so are mine. Great friend, slaves at home without a thought, cooking skills better than any restaurant (Thai or farang), very attractive, great in the sack, and generally fun to be with. Does she need my support? Absolutely (although she wants to invest our money or start a business. Is she well educated? No. Is her English perfect? No. So, sometimes I go out and talk with others about events/ideas that are foreign to her. Despite being an "opportunist", do I believe she loves me completely, if my decent income was halved overnight and we had to live an austere life, absolutely! So, <deleted> around, date hiso/low-so, Thai or Western, its your life...but in answer to the OP, I found my Issan treasure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Together for three days before marrying. Been together for 16 years. Doesn't drink or smoke (cigarettes). She cuts my hair, gives me a manicure and pedicure and even showers me. Cooks, cleans, irons, shops, does the laundry and...believe it or not....has just built and paid for (out of her own money)..... a three bed house for us both to live in. 26 years younger than me, never asked for penny for herself or her family. Still very slim and very pretty. What's not to like? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ed strong Posted January 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2022 Issan women are uneducated and their best chance of making anything in their life is either through being on the game. A terrible situation for any women. So a half decent falang with a decent wad of cash and diminishing timeliness, provides them with a great opportunity. Bit like us enduring a <deleted>ty job for 40 years because of the final year pension salary and just getting your head down and doing what needs to be done. Of course this is quite a good situation for most ex pats as they get a younger better looking version of anything they may have pulled on their own country. Win win if you can deal with someone that comes from a completely different culture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) First let me congratulate you on your successful marriage. The OP has been married 12+ years. When I first visited Bangkok in 2017 I stayed in an apartment in a large hotel in Onut for three months. One of the Thai employees was especially helpful and friendly to me. He spoke perfect English so we were able to communicate well. He was probably around mid thirties. He was married, had children, and lived in the countryside. Can’t recall where, but not close to Bangkok I recall. He was working at the hotel for six months to make money, then return home to his family. He told me at that time, the attitude of Thai people changed in the last 15 years. He said back then people were friendlier. It was a nicer atmosphere. Even in a large city such as Bangkok. They did not focus too much on material things as they do now. He said now a days the focus is too much on cash, and material things. And people don’t care as much about each other compared to back then. So maybe that is one reason why people post how happy they are in marriage to a Thai woman. I noticed that quite a few have been married for a very long time. Most of the posts I see regarding marriage issues are of fairly recent marriages.

JRG23 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I disagree. My Isaan ex-wife was a complete disaster. Came from a good family, with money and land etc. Ex-wife was a qualified lawyer, with a long list of academic qualifications. Had a good job in Bangkok. But a nightmare wife - lazy, dishonest, unloyal, and crazy. We divorced a long time ago. I remarried a bar girl (not from Isaan) and she has been brilliant for nearly two decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
