Popular Post webfact Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 In the face of rising numbers of failed Thai-Chinese marriages, the Royal Thai Consulate General in Kunming has sounded a note of caution. The authority has urged the future brides to thoroughly appraise their prospective grooms’ backgrounds before affirming the marriage proposal. Additionally, they’ve been advised to procure the appropriate visa type and ensure their marriage registration with Thai officials. The advisory resulted from a dialogue between journalists and Bhavivarn Noraphallop, the Thai consul general in Kunming. The interaction was part of a seminar ‘China in the New Era: What the Thai Media Should Know’, organised by the China Embassy to Thailand in alliance with the Thai Journalist Association in Kunming from July 24 to 27. Bhavivarn emphasised that the Consulate General gives priority to border safeguards and the welfare of Thai people living abroad. Owing to its geographical vicinity to Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, Yunnan witnesses a range of border hassles like unlawful immigration, overstaying and criminal activities, necessitating continuous intervention by the Consulate. However, the rising instances of unsuccessful Thai-Chinese marriages have particularly rattled the consulate office. Bhavivarn attributed this trend to Thai brides embarking on their marital life with unrealistic expectations and without a comprehensive study about life in China. The subsequent disappointment leads to several women seeking acquaintance with the consulate in a bid to return home. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-consulate-warns-against-rushed-marriages-to-chinese-men -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-31 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the ensuing ten years of economic turmoil, the US was flooded with Russian "Dot.com brides" The internet was full of websites advertising young women eager to get out of Russia any way they could and a lot of guys bought brides "off the rack". Unsurprisingly, most of the marriages were short lived. Some went back to Russia, most found other "sponsors". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if Thais are applying this to broader international relations with the Peoples Republic of China? Wise to recognize there is a wider application of reality here.

Also make sure you see a picture of his Willy. Macro lenses can be problematic but know what you’re getting. Not much different to your Thai men, so if it matters go with a farang.

Lorry Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 There is only one thing a Chinese man cares about: white skin. So he must be absolutely poor and desperate before he chooses a Thai bride. Vietnamese are much more popular, people from Burma or Laos can be ok. A handsome middle class guy from Beijing isn't interested in Thai brides. An aging farmer from a village in Gansu or Inner Mongolia, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
