Hi

Need some help. I have been ready a lot of topic here are people getting taken money and downry and so forth. My question is how can you tell if the Thai lady is serious about you and not take you for everything.

This lady, as far as I can tell, is sweet and has a job working in BKK as we talking daily. She seems to be the traditional type, working not visiting bars and so forth. I am going to visit her in Aug and just wanted to know how I can tell if she for real.

second, if marriage come up what is a price for the downry? I know she is from Korat and her family owns a farm. She has a brother and sister younger than her.Any comments would be welcome.

Thanks

You should spend a reasonable amount of time with her & determine if she is being honest & open about her life now and her past. She should be OK to answer any & all questionss you may have and you should be the same with her. As for dowery, I personally don't like the idea, but you can offer to pay the wedding expenses. May here claim they get the dowery returned. Maybe so, but I never saw such a case. Use your own judgement about this, in accordance with the money you have available. I assume you are intending to take her back to your home country to live. If you are planning to live in Thailand with her, I would move here first & spend several months getting to know her. Good luck.

Ask her to wait 5 years for you to get treatment. When you get out of hospital if she is still waiting then you might be in with a chance!

Due to the current rise inflation Dowry rates have gone up by 2.23 percent. Dowrys now stand at 403054 baht per female.

OK, I'll play. First, make sure it's a lady. I can't tell anymore at first glance. However, the prettier they are, the more likely they're ladyboys. You like? I will only be satisfied, one way or the other, by a crotch-check. Second, if she is a lady, and that's what you're looking for, be very careful with the sweet, traditional types. I do not understand how come there aren't more Thai female Hollywood stars. These girls are better actresses than Kate Hudson, and better looking. Even the ladyboys. After you've worked through the first two hurdles, and give it a few months, we can discuss the payoff.

I married a Thai girl that i met on the internet. We talked for days on msn. But i first went to see her and had a holiday with her on samui. Then i asked her to stay with me in Holland for 3 months to see if we were a good match. I was lucky that she just finished UNI and did not have job obligations at that time. So that was a posibility. Now im living with her for 2,5 years now in Thailand and all things went well. I just would not rush it if i were you and try to see how she is in day to day life. Its different then on a Holiday or chat.

I did not pay a dowery, her mother wanted it I did not. In the end it was not payed. I payed other things like furniture and stuff for our home (my wifes of course). So far all is good and i think i found the one for me.

But there are a lot of dangerous ones too. I was fooled by my first thai wife and that cost me a lot of money. At that time i had no experience with thais and that was my mistake. She looked like a normal girl but in the end she changed and it all went bad. Just be carefull and think would you marry a european woman that fast after having met her only a short time ?

Ahh no, not this same old topic again.

There are stacks of threads on ThaiVisa about this subject.

It`s simple, idiots never listen to advice or use common sense, they only learn by experience.

The dowrey thing is a load of crap. Normally if they ask for money, than it is a scam.

If a girl loves you, she will go with you anywhere for free.

I think that most of these falling instantly in love Farangs are sad losers. They are living in an imaginary world of make believe. Only seeing through a window into some fairy tale land.

Farmer's daughter dowrl - 50,000 - 100,000 baht.

How can you tell if she is serious? You can't. I advise you to not get married if you met her on a love web site -

most women there are only after money. Don't ever send her any money and you'll find out if she actualy is interested in you as a person.

Wait at least 3 years before geting married or the chances are you'll become another sad statistic.

Is the OP for real? I mean he is chatting to a girl over the net/phone that he has never met, He is going to come here and decide in 7 days if he is going to pay for her and marry her. Does she have a choice in this?

Other bit I found funny was 'She seems to be the traditional type' Oh yes obviously. Meet and marry based on a one week holiday. It doesnt matter how long you have spoke online or over the phone first you will never really know her/him until you spend time together.

But to wrap things up to mention her family live on a farm.... setting up the path for the old buffalo already.

Good luck mate, I'll look forward to follow ups when the :o

And if you 'buy her' (pay a sin sot) she can walk away from you the very next day and you will lose all you paid for her. So, take a long time to get to know her. It takes months and months to really discover the reality, and yes, I have had the wool pulled over my eyes a few times so far as is obvious from some of my posts :o

To add to that, I have just dumped my latest one after she told me her friend married a guy who bought his new bride 1 house, 1 car and gave her 200,000 Bhat. I could see where that was heading.

Might have taken me a while but I am learning more every time :o

I have just been talking to my Thai wife about this post and she told me a gem that I just have to share with you all.

Apparently many Thai ladies dont have any experience with computers, (obviously).

There are other people that run a business of applying and replying to internet sites for these unfortunate ones with the proviso that they get 10% of the sin-sot. Which apparently can be quite lucrative as whether you want to believe this or not.....some ferang that come over here get taken for 2..3..4 million sin-sot, because they dont know any better and are love struck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have expressed disbelief to her but she swears that she has known this to happen.

HL :o

This is what this guy thinks, http://www.youtube.com/NotanIdiot2 he has put up many vids on why Thais marry farang.

And I think the same

Most of the guys on this forum live in Thailand (living in LOS is different to farangland) but they do have much knowledge of Thai rip off scammers.

This is very true (excellent actresses)

"I do not understand how come there aren't more Thai female Hollywood stars. These girls are better actresses than Kate Hudson, and better looking. Even the ladyboys. After you've worked through the first two hurdles, and give it a few months, we can discuss the payoff."

Even though at first I found my ex Thai wife to be sweet (in LOS) later on (when she got to the UK) I found her to be very boring and stupid, badly educated, did not understand culture, did not want to understand culture and became very lazy very quickly. As all she wanted was a divorce and a British passport. She was a hideous evil liar (like most Thais)

So be very careful (personally I would not even bother)

I have personally known and met several of these "agents" who are assisting Thai ladies meet the man of their dreams on the internet. They (the ladies) need this service because they speak little or no English and/or are not computer literate. They may pay 2,000 to 5,000 bht per month for such service. The matchmaker may take a piece of the dowery, which I have heard can be as high as 50%. Others may charge a "flat fee", if the couple gets married. The ones I knew were charging 100,000 to 150,000 bht. You don't have to guess who is going to pay these costs in the end - the Farang. Obviously, these "Cupids Assistants" have a stake in inflating the dowery as high as they can get away with.

I am in a very happy, very loving, close family relationship, living in Thailand, further south in Trang. My wife who is an ex Hotel Manager is a gem. The saddest thing i ever saw was when i was on business in Abu Dhabi about four years ago. I got talking to a guy who was a Diver for an oil company, so made lots and lots of money. He told me he had a beautiful Thai wife ( i said nothing). He showed me her photo and she was indeed a stunner. He had just come back from two weeks off shore and was waiting in the hotel bar to meet his wife, as she was not at home but out 'shopping'. He had bought a bunch of roses and a bottle of fizz and was waiting patiently. Then in walked Miss world,!! his wife was wearing a leather cat suit with an arm full of shopping bags and was clearly pi**ed. He kissed her and gave her the flowers, at which point she grabbed them, went in to a rage and bashed them on the bar breaking all the heads off, shouting 'I don't want flowers, i want Gold!!" He was obviously both visibly upset and embarrassed. I would personally have picked the b***h up and thrown her in to the sea over the pier out side the hotel. It is the situation i have just described (and witnessed personally) that leads to the problems concerning opinions of Thai Marriages. Some are money grabbers, others are normal truly loving people, but isn't that the same anywhere?

Dowery? I paid 2 chickens and a goat for mine but she can read and write... all be it some ludicrous mountain hill tribe dialect. For the illiterate farm girls, I'm sure just 2 chickens and a sack of jackfruit will do fine.
