Whats The Big Deal With Saying Your Wife Is...

The vast majority of women in un-reputable occupations come from Isaan. If you think this is just a myth, check it out at your local bar.

Unfortunately this reflects badly on everyone from Isaan as the girl’s parents are happy to see her take this route - as evidenced by the way the family are overjoyed when their daughter comes home with a farang b/f.

Those families that would be horrified by their daughter entering an un-reputable occupation would similarly be concerned at their daughter turning up with a farang b/f.

I’m not sure whether the Thai’s dislike of Isaan people is for this reason or because Isaan is a poor region, and Thais respect money.

Thai-Chinese are immediately assumed to be wealthy and hard-working, not always the case - but the belief then follows that the girl comes from a wealthy background and is not marrying for money.

Its actually not a bad way of judging the motivation - if the family are only too happy to see their daughter with a farang, you know its money motivated. If the family aren't too happy - they're not looking at you as a cash cow.

hi Loz, point well taken..i would never allude to what happens in the bd room, just what happens, if that makes any sense.. its not her I have to, or had to worry about, it's me..

if she fooled around in that 18 month duration, I don't worry about stuff like that..I know what I did though..

I was not always a good monkey ( we call each other that all the time..but i know that is also a bit too MUCH info.. )

but seriously, thanks for the heads up..I am honest to a FAULT on this anonymous blog, in a mostly VAIN attempt to get a message across clearly from time to time..so i see, said the blind man.

signed..hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil

enerzne, racism means in part that "human abilities are determined by race". ( oxford dictionary) For the record i am not racist, in fact I prefer other races to my own.

I don't see how calling someone Thai Chinese is tantamount to racism. Please elaborate your theory to enlighten me; as it is your assertation seems as odd as Sing_Sling's 2 legged horse, which is, in my opinion, the best avatar on TV by a country MILE ( with Never Die's "running" a close second )

signed; but its running nowhere quickly

Plenty of 'Thai-Chinese' in the profession too. Mainly servicing the Thai market, rather than the tourist/expat one.

Or so I am told

Being a kiwi of scottish, irish, german and english descent I think its best to tell people that I am Maori, that way I get better benefits from the government and the ability to vote in a Maori only electroate.

I am a registered maori in NZ for voting purposes, but have no maori blood. The system is easily fooled people.

My brother is Canadian so I must be too.

As to the chinese family heritage.. well a niece speaks Mandarin, does that mean I am Chinese too now?
