Do Thai women make the best wives?

[bob smith]

for those that are currently married to a Thai woman and have previously been married to a western woman, would you say that Thai women make the best wives?

 

I think the question is quite a broad one and depends on several factors.

 

when I chose a wife (Mrs. Smith) there were certain criteria that the successful candidate had to fulfill before she even stood a chance...

 

they were : 

 

1. Speaks good English.

2. Well educated (Master degree/phd)

3. Has a good, stable job.

4. No previous children from any relationships.

5. Has never worked in a bar.

6. Likes to have a laugh

7. Doesn't mind splitting the bill when we go out (or paying it in full herself)

8. Family aren't on the take (they have never asked me for a penny to this day).

9. No crazy knife wielding brothers or cousins lurking around the corner.

10. Loves to travel.

***(Bonus Points - Doesn't mind me sleeping around with other women/is a good cook)***

 

Those were my (albeit rather selective) criteria for a woman to have the chance at becoming Mrs Smith.

I found mine way back when and we have been married for years.

 

I can say that, on the whole, Mrs. Smith is an amazing wife and she is the reason why I am still here.

She has her faults, but don't we all?

 

Do you think that Thai women make the best wives?

do you have any selection criteria or will anything with a pulse do for you?

I guess there are good and bad wives all over the world  - regardless of nationality.

Just any car with aircon will do and I will settle for a canoe.

nice skin 🙂

There s obvious cultural differences. My welfare is of importance to her. One thing that endears Mrs Nik to me is that she always takes good care of me, even when were not talking. Whatever the state of play, there s a good meal on the table and a clean house.

You old romantic, Bob.  Did you make her complete a questionnaire before you accepted her?

No.

 

But there was a lengthy interrogation process.

Not sure if they make the best wives, but definitely much better then western women.

Your checklist is intriguing!  Although my wife is not Thai, she would only have met two of your criteria: #4, #6!

I once had a friend working at an embassy in Bangkok. He said someone came in once wanting to obtain a visa for his partner. Unfortunately the embassy had to refuse in the basis that his partner's ID card said "mister" on it and they don't issue visas to same sex partners. Imagine the shock for the guy finding out from an embassy official that the love of his life was not really the woman he thought she was. 
 

11. She isn't a he. 

[ezzra]

If you have found one, ask her if she has a friend, one never know, maybe some of those fantastic and unbelievable 

qualities have rubbed off on the friend...

I was out and about again the other day in another tourist spot.

 

why I keep going I'll never know..

anyway I saw a few fresh tourists walk past me with what I am presuming they thought were women..

 

One look at their feet told me all I needed to know..

I guess having self respect is not one of the qualities you value in your partner

all mrs. smiths friends are successful, well educated women with good jobs.

 

They are also all spoken for, sadly, with the vast majority of them preferring only Thai men.

she respects the fact that I have needs and those needs to be met regularly.

 

I always use condoms and I think she quite likes it.

she's watched me a few times on the job.

Many yeas ago I was working on an assignment in Thailand where some ladyboys were present. I got talking to one who had done the full conversion and she showed me pictures of her foreign boyfriend who lives overseas. I asked if the guy knew she was a ladyboy. She said she was certain he didn't know. I asked how she can be sure. Then she told me because the bloke had talked to her about having children together in the future.  
 

You have all kinds of punters though. Some know and don't care. Others know and pretend they don't know because they are embarrassed. And then you got the ones who are completely oblivious.

Was either of your wives virgins?

 

or had they been soiled by other men before you got down on your knee and agreeing to sign over your assets to them?

well, mr. 2baht, I am hoping that collectively we will have enough marriage experience between us all to make a decent enough comparison..

 

feel free to share yours if you want!
