Popular Post Celsius Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 I showed it to her once and she was genuinely confused by the topics discussed. I showed her some discussion items. For example she would defend the sunbathing temple chicks. In general she wonders why so many foreigners are suffering with visa issues and thinks Thai government is insane with all the visa rules. She was disinterested about extremely violent road accidents (she drives like a maniac). She thinks Chinese are more dangerous than Russians (she is Chinese). She doesn't understand why some posters are gloating about MG cars. She rolls her eyes at any mention of monks (she's a christian) English level - intermediate. 2 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Absolutely no interest and I'm very happy that that's the case. We do discuss the news sometimes and occasionally we'll discuss some of the topics that I've seen on this forum, but reading this forum would be very uninteresting to her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 No she doesn't simply because non of what is written here is relevant to her life. This is a forum for expats, not for Thai people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaiyaTH Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) I would be seriously concerned about both the boyfriend / husband as well as the girlfriend / wife reading on AN, as their hubby does too. No life for sure. In the same time, it would be a double shock, as the Thai reading it, if a Thai, would show a few percent of intellectual interest.

Peterphuket Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Ha, ha, my gf can't read Romani language. She gets her education only from Chanel 7, but she is and has been sweet, for over 15 years.

Popular Post KhunLA Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 (edited) NO ... she's peeked a couple time when next to me, and simply rolled her eyes ... to be kind. It would actually be embarrassing if she read AN, in all manners of thinking. She, like myself, can't understand the hatred of TH & Thais, and people still live here. Though realize now, most members don't live here, which seems even weirder. She probably wonders why I bother at all, with some of my comments, while reading: pervs, grumpy, ignorant, stupid, bigots ... just a few of my thoughts, while scanning some threads ... She does appreciate the solar & EV info we got ... 👍 From my first query when joining, and reason for. Not realizing it was TV rebranded. Oh well, such is life.

thrilled Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 My wife is Thai. She was a teacher. She went through Thai schooling. She has a PHD. This is in Thailand. That’s a subject in itself. That’s another topic. I have never mentioned what I read. She watches a lot of Thai YouTube stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I realised too, that many AN members don't live in Thailand. It always surprised me when I switch on my phone at 7 am that there a dozens of comments already. So all is issued in a different time zone?😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
