Isaan Woman

[Stevey]

I’ve chosen to place this here coz my concern is Isaan women. 

Is it just me or…. Has anybody experienced that when you and your Isaan women got together she was lovely but a few years later she is horrible and shouty. Also jobs and modifications and upgrades to her house I did previously were welcome but now now it’s hers and even suggesting planting a new tree causes an argument let alone that I wanted to pay for a digger to make a small borenam to hold some fish on land I paid for. 
 

If anyone had told me that these Isaan women were like this I’d have avoided them like the plague.

Nothing to do with Isaan.

They are all like this.

Ditch the hag!

[Celsius]

Ummm.... they were nice because they needed something.

Oh … what the love of a good man someone to fix a leaking pipe ? 

[proton]

Mine was horrible and shouty from the start! Wont agree to many things needed doing to the house including a collapsing drive way, worried about the dust!

[Stevey]

Everywhere I go in the area I hear shouty harridans. It’s learned behaviour. The men are quiet and henpecked and the women are always shouting at kids.

Let's put this way, life is too short to suffer copping attitude from a shrew, if you have a choice and still relatively young, do a runner and leave her behind as the demeanour will be change for the better, but if you stuck there for some reason unable to walk away, well, make the best of it pal.

True for many women, no matter where they come from.

I'd just move to Pattaya/Hua Hin/Chiang Mai without her and enjoy life as a single guy again.

[NickyLouie]

I try my best to avoid Isaan people in general, the odd maid or laborer is acceptable.

It's a mistake to shout or argue IMHO. Avoid all conflict in your life!

Single is so much better, do what you want, when you want, see different women, see friends. Guys lose all power once married and the wife has money

"These Isaan women".

 

You are talking shout 1 woman. Not many.

 

I've been married to a lovely Isaan lady for 22 years. You appear to have made an error in your decision and should, by the sound of it, move on.

 

Don't tar all with the same brush.

and stupid me leave everything to wife I transfer monthly to Thailand, and also given her one of my credit cards for emergencies. What can possible go wrong? 

 

If you find the right one, what you state above is nothing to worry about, and giving them some trust, can do miracles, and in worst case you will know quick how this will end, and can move on if you learn early something you do not like.

How much has that cost you ? 
 

I selected an option in my price range. I stay in a village where nobody can speak English and women appear to rule the roost as they sit around eating SomTam and shout orders at children. I’m sorry but these lot do not have the intelligence to be in charge, they just are and the men are too frightened to stand up to them. 
 

I can only take your word that your missus who I’m sure is lovely , is lovely.

[Moonlover]

I've been married, in turn to an English woman, an anglicized Indian woman and now an a Thai woman from Issan and that is where we now live.

 

If you were to line the three of them up right now and invite me to choose again, I'll take my Issan gal anytime thank you very much.

 

Personally I don't think that the O/P's woes are anything to do with the fact that his wife's an Issan gal. It's the woman you choose, not where she comes from that counts and of course one's own temperament! Let's not forget that rather important aspect.

When I first came to this village in NongKhai , I met Colin a Falang and LLS in diving. He trusted his wife and he recently had his bank account of raided of his 6.5Million baht savings plus she lent money on all land they had bought plus small apartments in BKK and his tractor and both SUVs house just repossessed as she had lent cash on that too. How do people lose so much gambling? They have an 11 year old, although he cannot speak Isaan so cannot communicate. He’s too cleaver to learn apparently.

Although I agree with you that I chose wrong. I’m stuck with the 5hit house now. 
 

And I agree that alot of the Falangs here bring it on themselves, like Colin. 
 

My point is that I she a lot of strong minded shouty women up here and that goes for the young ones who try to emulate the older mothers. 
 

If guys mixing with these women in what ever settings they are procuring said women knew what they heading to they would think twice and maybe head to Scunthorpe to procure a life partner

We are married. Not business partners.

 

Our home is also in a village. No English. Only Thai and Khmer. I've learnt to speak good Thai and a little Khmer. I integrate with family and villagers well. I like to eat Somtam too. ????

Lovely to make you acquaintance. Are you the same guy who said you “speak ‘Good’ Thai “ in a previous thread I saw today ? 
 

I like to say that I can speak Thai, I receive calls in Thai from drivers et cetera and I go to the vets and the Hospital where no one can speak English and I speak Thai. I can stop anywhere I’ll speak with Thai people. I even listen to my 5year old boy who cannot speak English tell me last nights dream but I’ve never had the outright audacity to say I speak “good“ Thai. You’re obviously one of life’s winners, and I commend everything you say to the house.

You too!

Never hand over your assets .................

[Lacessit]

Isaan women have a reputation for being strong-minded and hard-working. Never having been in a relationship with one, I don't know if that is true.

I have a joint account with my Thai GF of 200K baht. The rest of my assets in Thailand and Australia are my business only.

Any woman who became horrible or started shouting at me would be out the door before she could blink. I put up with a psycho once, never again.

For what it's worth, it's not just Isaan women, had an ex western wife who would dig in, suffice to say, long of the short, I demolished the rear of the house on day when she was at work, it was all part of my plan to redesign the house to have a kitchen dining area overlooking the rear yard with a timber deck with roof covered area (pergola) which she didn't want, she wanted the small crappy kitchen at the side of the house. That's not why she's my ex, fact of the matter is she fell in love with what I did, some Biatches can be super stubborn, just depends if your prepared to take them on.

 

My Isaan wife who I built the house for, can be stubborn when I want to do something as well, so I either tighten up the money belt until she give in, or I just go ahead and do it, they get over it sooner or later.

 

I think the problem you have is it's here house so to speak, and yes, so is the house I built my wife, but what I found out is when you control the $'s you have the power, suffice to say if she makes $'s you might have a fight on your hands.

That's one of the problems with living in a rural Thai village, having had a western scientific education.

 

It can make one very arrogant!

[HappyExpat57]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - you're better off renting.

Thais are not stupid, they have different priorities.

I have the education you refer to; however, in terms of Thai street smarts my GF is way ahead of me.
