Don't build a house until you've been married for 5 years. That cousin builder is probably the father. What are you on about? We don't live anywhere near where her family lives, I created a western standard BOQ, I interviewed 7 companies with both Western and Thai owners, I visited their previous projects, and I selected the builder.

CockneyGit Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Utter drivel. Just peddling the stereotypical view of Thailand. Get out of the bars chaps, go and meat some 'real' Thais in the 'real' Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted August 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 Who cares what age differences there are between a couple, it's just a number, aesthetically it might look different to what you would normally be looking at back home. The above said, to some it would be no different to looking at a gay couple, male or female or a Ladyboy so to speak. What one has to remember here is one word, i.e. "acceptance", the world we live in is f-ck-d up, if a couple for example have years apart from each other, as long as they have respect for one and other and are prepared to support each other, regardless if it's from a monetary or emotional prospective, personally I don't give a sheet, as long as their lives are happy and better, then kudos to them. For the record, there is 21 years the difference between me and the wife, do we care what people think, if you think we do, you are so wrong. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After talking with many expats here, and hearing the good and bad of their house build experiences, the BOQ (that lists every material and quantity that will be used in the house construction) is vital to get a house built to a western standard. The differences then come down to labor costs, schedule, and profit margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Tom Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I have two g/fs, one in my main house, one in my condo down the road, one is 47 years old, an ex factory manager, one is 37 and a nurse. They know each other, but at a distance. Why are they with me, an older man; security, companionship, a good life style, friendship, a future that is financially secure for them, and, dare I say it, mutual regard, respect and love. I had the same with my late ex wife and i was the only breadwinner in that life. With my two g/fs, I am not the sole bread winner, but I am a major provider. So, what am I getting at here. That there is little to chose between relationships here or in the West. Is age irrelevant; no, but its not the major driver in many if not most longer term relationships between a young Thai and an older farang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS1954 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Following the "half your age plus 7" as the minimum age for your lady is a good rule to follow. Makes the 70 year old guy with a 25 year old on his arm look a bit ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I would look for such a girl and if I would be maybe 60 your old then I would look for a 20 year old. Because when I am 80 she is 40 and she will still be able to push that chair. If I would look for an older woman then maybe I have to push her chair. Or she is too old and not strong enough to move me around. A 40 year old will find tremendous strength to get that wheelchair to the ATM????????. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not feel sad about the odd back pain, grey hair loss or lost tooth, etc, when it's happening to the wife beside me. I also know the difference now between a loving wife with that will be there to the end, as opposed to a loving g/f that I have nothing in common with that will be there until the money runs out Lot of truth there congrats on knowing the important differences ????

crazykopite Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 One thing is guaranteed when we are born and that is someday we are going to die . Some of us are fortunate in life that in retirement we have substantial savings I’m one of the lucky ones Do I have a Thai wife absolutely not do I want a Thai wife NEVER and although separated from my second farang wife I have no intention to divorce she is more than welcome to my pensions when the man upstairs calls me home , but that is not to say I don’t enjoy the company of Thai ladies of course I do but as I am married already marriage is out of the question and that suits me 100% . I do have a Thai GF but I don’t allow her to live with me although she will stay a couple of night per week and yes I have supported her 15 year old son in the hope he can have a better education and if we’re still together then she will be taken care of when my time to leave this world has happened after all there are no pockets in shrouds . Thai woman are not the easiest to live with but saying that I would think they have the same view about foreigners at the end of the day for them it’s money comes first and I understand why love is further down the shopping list . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm being cynical, but I'd guess that if 70 year old Bob walked down the local high street in his original country hand in hand with his wife who could be younger than his grandchildren, certainly younger than his children, it's likely he would run into trouble, which could develop beyond verbal trouble. And as for family gatherings, he should be prepared to be ostracised. Even people in his original country who have seen the P4P situation in Thailand may display a totally different attitude to Bob when amongst their original community. I don't think you are being cynical. Once alcohol and testosterone enter the mix things can get ugly quickly.???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nature. The beauty of Thailand is that men and women still accept these facts and don't pretend otherwise. Additionally, the demographics in Thailand whereby the proportion of females far exceeds that of males is an added bonus.

huangnon Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 If you can make an age disparity work in a marriage, good on ya. The other disparities; language, culture, education, etc, can create a yawning crevasse of difference that can only be bridged by serious amounts of moolah.. Sometimes it's better just to rent.
