Driving round on my Harley shouting 'Slava Ukraini' to passers by..
So you blame all Russians for what their leader is making happen there. Even the Russians that have run away from to Thailand? I suppose if your leader decides to commit genocide. We all can blame you for it. -

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
Thank you @Goodison. I can understand that if a UK citizen stays in the UK for part of the year, every year, and also convinces the DWP that they are permanent resident in the UK then their UK state pension will not be frozen even if they live in Thailand for most of the year. I was assuming that most UK citizens receiving a frozen UK state pension are living permanently in Thailand and so they almost certainly would not convince the DWP that they have permanent resident in the UK. So I think you have confirmed that in my example the guys UK state pension will revert back to £100 per week. -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
i think you are using too many generalizations in comparing ethnicities. The marriage to a Thai is not what you think it is. Supporting the family? You agree to do that only if the Thai family is so poor they need your money. You are not marrying the woman, you are marrying the family as she is marrying your wallet. When the money runs out she will most likely run out also. The woman will say it is culture. Culture says the child should take care of family. It does not say this means sending your money to them. As for the language barrier. If this is already a problem then it is possible to get better or worse depending on the effort you both use to rectify the problem. The cultural differences we live with daily at home. Are usually minimal and should not be a problem since you both were aware of them prior to any marriage consent. If it was a problem in the beginning then why did you take that step to get married? Making a Thai family of your own, seems to be the same as marrying a woman from any country. Kids are the priority. If you have found a good woman she will not lose keeping you in her list of priorities. Thai traditions are a little better in marriage than in western cultures. Married Thai women will not have men friends to chat or meet without you present or be seen with alone. (this is to say only for a good woman who respects this Thai culture) Age differences do not seem to matter. What is important is that you have the ability to support your family and increase the quality of life for your family made together. (not her family) There are many other nuances I read about with foreigners married to Thais. But these stand out the most for me with my Thai wife. She is loving and caring and helpful for the most part. She contributes to everything we have, want, or need in the home and with our family. Everything done is done together as a family. We have helped on occasions with some financial to her family but the responsibility was always shared with her other family siblings. Her family is not dependent on my money. As i see it, she has been the best choice in the 3 times I have been married. -
