Perhaps as well as you read Thai.

Probably much better

[proton]

No interest at all despite me getting her a lot of work for her off here years ago, if it's not on Line or Facebook nothing registers 

[brewsterbudgen]

My wide neither knows or cares that this Forum exists.

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.

And your point is?

Mine can.   Not only can she read Thai language, she can read the American English language!   So there!

Enough English to "manage" their foreign husband's finances anyways. 

My Thai wife owns and manages a business in the U.S. of A. that has a gross yearly income of more than $1,250,000.00 year!  So if she wants to manage my finances (she doesn't) she would probably do a better job than I am!  She can read American English too.

But can she pick her nose and send stickers on Facebook at the same time ?

Actually, I always found it funny that some farang claim that Thai are stupid, yet even uneducated farm girls seem to learn enough English to take care of their farang husbands who can speak no Thai... 

 

My wife if from a farming background life, she didn’t goto uni, she speaks 4 languages and reads three. I also get by in Thai.

 

Incidentally we both are from poor backgrounds, we built a business together and we’re now both quite wealthy compared to some.
 

So much for the stereotypical narrow minded views of some westerners.

Could it be due to low self esteem of some asean now posters and a need to denigrate someone else to make themselves feel better?   That or just plain arrogance that I am better than you low lifes!

Thought I would add, that some asean now posters imply they are better than other asean now posters too, not just better than Thai people!

Well, we don't reside in England, Scotland (do they speak English there, I forget), Australia, New Zealand, or Belize, we live in America.   So she reads American English.  
I however, am adapt at reading English written in other countries and understanding it.   Except, English assembly instructions, printed in China, for furniture made there, and shipped here.

Sometimes I'll show her a vid that comes up, like the guy drifting the BMW.

"Him Barr" and off she goes back to rattling pots and pans about, with YouTube on her phone.

What business is that

[Chris Daley]

They can recognize large printed symbols like ATM, Withdraw, 50% of everything you own, land.  But other than that it's just swiping and candy crush.

Thai food take out business.   It is situated inside a large building that is a historical landmark owned by the state in which it resides.   On a low sales day, over 10,000 people may go through the building that houses more than 100 other business'.  Of course, not all 10,000 people are not buying her product.

Would you please, pretty please, stop posting about my wife?!?!?
I'm not worried about the 50% withdrawal stuff.  Wife has more money than I do.   But those other things.   Yeah, stop posting would ya?

First I have heard of it.

I thought most people in Thailand read this forum.
