Thongkorn Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Having been a member on Thai Visa for a short while and been a regular reader and poster, OK some good and some not so good posts. , The little lady(My wife) has often sat beside me reading some of the more technical questions and answers about Thailand and its Politics, along with other posts .She has had a difficult life and is a typical Thai lady, She will not dwell on things and gets on with life, With what ever life may throw at her. And after all she knows more about Thailand than i will ever know. She has more of a say than I do, because it is her Country :jap: . I know there are a few female members on Thai visa, Would it add another prospective to have a, (or another) Thai lady member,probably along with a few more.

Thongkorn Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 why not let her decide? She has but it is polite to ask. Some other so called Thailand forums do not let or want Thai women to join, because of the racist and bias uncouth ideas and pictures posted by small minded men.

Some other so called Thailand forums do not let or want Thai women to join, because of the racist and bias uncouth ideas and pictures posted by small minded men. I didn't have to ask and neither presumably, did you. (Don't think it was impolite for any of us to join without asking so I don't see why it should be for her...) EDIT to Add: Going by what I've seen of this forum, I suspect she will be politely welcomed by most (if she joins and speaks for herself) and those, if any, who for whatever don't like the idea of a Thai woman joining won't comment on it.

Tonto21 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) I think it's a belting idea! I remember reading, (well looking at) a magazine, years ago, which had a 'readers wives section' I think it was called 'Fiesta'…………………………………Only joking, I think it a good idea……………..Just tell her, 'Up to you' Edited July 9, 2011 by Tonto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nocturn Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Well, I know she reads my posts from time to time, so that's okay with me. She normally posts on a Thai forum (in Thai). Basically, up to her what she chooses. great, she can share how highly regarded Thais and women regarded are here on TV. We could even see an upswing in membership of a Thai demographic. She could perhaps even provide some inside information that could help many of our existing numbers. For instance it would be brilliant to have her perspective on the combined use of sello tape and cling film in supermarkets, or finally put to rest the many "why do they always" debates. Perhaps, she could help us define what exactly is meant by "the average Thai" and provide us with some accurate insight into how much they actually do make. In time, she could give Mrs Stick a run for her money, or perhaps she could have given Mrs Stick has already done a runner herself. At any rate she is welcome here, though i would honestly question why she would want to set up camp in a viper's nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Unfortunately we are unlikely to hear from this 'average Thai' on TV. My wifes Family where/are poor I will not go into it, But she is not the only one, There are many Thai Visa members who's wife come from a back ground of poverty. So Yes there are many Average Thais who have a voice that are on Thai Visa, And they have a wealth of knowledge, Not that there are People, who are not Thai who have lived in Thailand for a Long time that have taken time to learn how to speak Thai,i and understand some of the Thai Culture.

NancyL Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'd suggest the OP caution his wife that some of the posters can be pretty nasty; not all westerners are as sweet and kind as he. Also, she might receive PMs that are troubling. It might be a good idea to ask her to share her password so the OP can check out the PM action. I've received a few flaming PMs and as a Thai woman she may receive some even more troubling, especially if English is a second language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
