It sounds like you are having some problems of your own in expressing yourself.

Maybe you caught something from one of them.

Not all of them marry for money.  Take my Thai wife for instance.   Her plan was, marry the American, wait 2 years to get a permanent green card, then skedaddle (depart quickly or hurriedly run away).  

 

Now, 30 something years later, I am still waiting for her to ... skedaddle!!

 

As for money.   I am retired with enough income that I could get one of those elite visas and live in Thailand, if I were single.   Wife's income is 3 times mine!!!  

 

That's all great, but since you're so well off, you can't be sure that she would not "skedaddle" if you had less money.

 

There's no such thing as too rich...

I love Thailand and the people are just as peaceful as Filipinos.. maybe more so..

 

I thought that it was pretty well established that the Philippines is louder, has more violence, and more crime than Thailand?

On the other hand the Philippino women are far more faithful then the thai girls who often have more then one falang "sponsor" who is "servicing" them, when the other one is away back in the west saving to send her money.

 

This depends on what level of Thai or Filipina you have become involved with. If you met in a bar or similar, it goes with the territory. You have to be one step ahead and just as mercenary.

Well said brother... Just another talking head... and I can speak from 5 years of living in the Philippines. If they didn't speak English, most foreigners would NOT be there.. lousy food, horrible infrastructure, and still brown outs and power failures.. Don't get me taking about medical..  I love Thailand and the people are just as peaceful as Filipinos.. maybe more so..

  Stay blessed and ignore self-indulging people...

 

I agree with most of your post, but I find neither Thais nor Filipinos peaceful if they don't get their own way, and there is always something bubbling just under the surface. Both usually have hanger on, greedy parents, lazy brothers and sisters or similar baggage.

you are in far greater danger from the family with a philipina.

greater poverty, less to lose.

 

I wouldn't give warning of personal finances, bank money, or let either Filipina or Thai know what I really think, just like they do to us.

I am beginning to wonder.  She has offered to buy a condo for me.   Not us, just me!  😯

there is no real parallel between Thailand and the pit of despair that is the Philippines. 

Thailand doesn't have a single slum that can hold a candle to the open cesspools that surround metro Manila and other major urban centers

Spot on. Anyone who thinks both countries are poor must have been travelling both countries blindfolded. Thailand is not a poor country at all, unlike the Philippines, which is very poor. They aren't even close.

 

The biggest difference is the population and median age. In Thailand, the median age of about 72 million people is just over 40, whereas in the Philippines, the median age of about 116 million is 24. This means that there are a lot more young ladies looking for foreign support. In the Philippines, a man of any age can easily find a 20-year-old without children to marry, whereas, in Thailand, it's mainly the single mothers in the 30-plus age category looking to marry foreigners.

 

The Filipinos marry foreigners mainly because their (Huge) families are dirt poor. In Thailand, it's single mothers struggling to survive after being abandoned by their husbands. It's a different ball game. In the Philippines, you'll be dating ladies 10 - 20 years younger than in Thailand. Of course, there are exceptions, but this is the general state of affairs.

Cambodian women are much gentler and simple. Vietnamese women blow them all away in the beauty stakes.
