The reason I ask this question is that I am planning to bring my Thai partner to Singapore where, I am sorry to say, there is a rather negative impression of Thai folk. The assumption is that Thai guys are construction workers and Thai women; prostitutes or maids.

While my Thai GF is professional, I am sure there will be assumptions that she fits into the prostitute or maid category. I don't think either of us will lose sleep over it but I am sure it could become irritating.

Anyway I was just curious to see if the Thai Visa demographics support or contradict the Singaporean view of the Thais.

Poll is open to all with a Thai partner regardless of gender, sexual orientation, length of relationship, etc.

Student, so I put Professional!! Only manual work she does is on me, and that doesn't qualify for catagory 4 as she ain't getting paid for it

I put professional. My wife has her BS in psychology and worked for a NGO before getting pregnant. Now she is a mom full time.

I like a woman who chooses brawn over brain.

Quit worrying.

My wife and I lived in Singapore for a year before we were married. We married in Singapore during the last week we were living there.

My wife loved Singapore and we had a great time there. The Singaporeans we met and worked with were nothing but courteous and well mannered. My wife often comments how easy and comfortable life was in Singapore and how she would like to go back there some time if the option comes up.

Look for the experience of Thai/Farangs who have lived in Singapore and forget your silly poll.

I wonder how many are really in the ex-sex worker/sex worker category? I Wonder??

With the rather limited choices, I chose Professional, although manager/supervisor would have been more accurate. His business card said "Assistant General Manager" of a rather large tourist hotel, but he was basically Housekeeping Manager. Now I gave him a promotion to HouseHusband.

I would bet that a fair nunber of farang are married to Thai teachers. Not a bad idea, either.

I wouldn't worry about it. Your Thai GF is professional and I'm sure she acts and dresses accordingly. The Singaporeans will know instinctively that she is not a prostitute.

Have to agree with GH. We lived in Singapore for a while and I have two friends with Thai wives living there now. No issues at all. You are being overly sensitive.

TH

there were rather limeted choices,so i put professional as her familly are quite well off and she used to work in her sisters buisness which was a large restaurant in bangkok . she is also well educated and read ,but i suppose she is now just a houswife looking after me and our 14 year old son.

my wife is the CEO of Exxon, possesses half a dozen PhDs and treats me quite badly because i'm rather uneducated

Agree on limited choices.

Mine currently works in 7/11 doing a variety of jobs. Not manual labour nor really professional.

My wife is a nuclear physicist who used to be Miss Thailand when she was younger and her father is a former Prime Minister of Thailand who was well known for his money and business acumen. She is a good girl.

id figgure results would be 19 sex worker marriages and one professiomal type.

dam_n its the complete opposite.

ps i voted for sex worker wife, i knew no one else would.....lol.

My wife is a professional tennis player

Seems like this is a thread for proudly broadcasting to the world the TW/BF/GF's moralistically acceptable position in society.

So if your partner is a manager in a condom factory, does that make them a sex worker?

P.S. Get a life Cynthia

Well, females of all types are attracted to me, what can I say?

My ex-alcoholic son used to be a condom salesman. Can we have a poll on children's occupations?

My wife was one of my employees.

I know, I know, In some countries this would make a nice lawsuit for harassment.

Silly Poll? This is the cutting edge of demographic research here!

Glad to her your experiences of Singapore were entirely positive. I think most “Ang Mos” (as we tend to get called here) have similar experiences in spite of occasional stereotyping.

OP here. Thanks everyone for your sincere and earnest input. Early indicators are that the stereotype of Western Guy with Thai bargirl is dead! We are exploding the myth!
