Indeed. There as many Thai ladies ripped of by Farangs as there are vice-versa.

 

 

Nevertheless, for anyone with an occupational pension it is wonderful gift for your partner.

 

 

There must £ millions unclaimed because even non-deadbeats haven't got round to doing the right thing (if they were actually aware of the opportunity). I was involved in helping a lady claim a widow's benefit SIX years after her husband's death. She now gets 40k Baht pm which is a fortune in Isaan  - as was the 'back pay'

That would be like winning the lottery,

Good, i just helped a friend get her son's farang fathers inheritance.

 

BTW doesn't have to be an occupational pension, just not state pension

Good point, it could be a privately funded pension.

 

 

I just think that employers pension fund trustees are probably more accommodating if there are any 'grey areas'.

Well one of the ways to avoid that is to spend a very, very long time with the woman before getting really serious or getting married. Taking years rather than months or weeks, to get to know her. You're going to find out who she is, what she's all about, what she's made of, where she comes from, what her family is all about, and whether or not she's a person of honor.

 

That only reveals itself with time and generally if it's good it's only going to get better, if it's bad it's only going to get worse, and the problems are going to manifest themselves over time. A lot of guys come here and they don't realize that time is our ally, it's not her ally, and oftentimes she's going to push the agenda, you just simply have to push back, that's what real men with self esteem do. 

How many times have you posted that? Quantity is only better than quality at a two dollar swap meet.

Funny. Some things bear repeating. Especially the single greatest mistake men make when they move here.
